Naruto!

Episode one!

The Start of a New Beginning!

Naruto just walked into his class, waiting on Kakashi as usual. "Where is that lazy bum any way?" Naruto shouted as he took his seat and waited about seven minutes.

"He's probably on his way here, taking the 'Long' way…" Sakura said making the 'Long' word drag on. Naruto simply puts his arms crossed, put his head down, and started to fall asleep.

"Wake up, you looser!" someone said. Naruto instantly knew it was Sasuke.

"Waa… What!.." Naruto mumbled as he got up. "Where is Kakashi?" Naruto said, as he moved his head from the desk. Next thing Naruto knew some guy with a black thing covering his mouth, and nose, he had gray hare, and a metal head band over one eye, and he was standing right in front of Naruto's face (A/n guess who? If you guessed Kakashi your correct! continue on)

"You really are the missing link!" Kakashi said as his face backed away from Naruto's.

"Finally!" Naruto shouted, he tightened his head band and backed away from the chair. "What are we going to do today?" he said as he smiled.

"Well… we could do our new ranked missions… or we could practice some jutsus! " Kakashi said cheerfully. (A/n this is after the Gunin exams and they passed well in this story they passed continue on )

"I vote on some missions!" Naruto yelled, with his hands behind his head.

"I vote on whatever Sasuke votes for!" Sakura said, turning to face him. She had a huge blush on her face as always whenever she looks at Sasuke.

"Whatever…" Sasuke said smoothly.

Kakashi smiled and replied "Well then, its mission time!"

They finally arrived at the Mission Center to ask the Hokaga what their new mission was.

"Hi ya Hokaga!" Naruto said with a lot of joy.

"You seem to be in a good mood Naruto." the Hokaga replied.

"Yah… Don't know why though… We came by to see what we could do in the C rank missions!"

"Oh ya…" The Hokaga said and looked down at the scroll. "We have a wondering traveler… It says here that he needs body guards so he can reach the village hidden in the Sand! Hope you guys enjoy the trip." The Hokaga said with a smile, a sliding door opened and a guy wearing black sandals, green pants, and purple short-sleeved shirt, with a red over coat. His hair was a light brown color, his eyes were a light shade of blue green. He had a bag over his shoulders, nothing long was hanging out though.

"Are these guys the ones that are going to protect me? They look like a bunch of little kids!" the guy said.

"These 'kids' are very great! One day they might even pass me, but for now they will need to practice and this is one way how to do it!" Kakashi said with a smirk like sound, with a hint of proud in his voice.

"Well… I still don't trust them…" the guy replied. Naruto's face grew extremely red, with steam coming out of his ears, and nose.

"Why you!" Naruto shouted, he tried to run after the guy and pound his face in but as always Sasuke grabbed him on the back of his shirt, insuring that Naruto couldn't get to the guy. "Hay Sasuke! LET GO OF ME!" Naruto yelled.

"No…" Sasuke said while having his eyes closed.

A few minutes later they left the gate to the village hidden in the leaves. Naruto runs out in front of every body and takes in a big whiff of the clean air, then breathed out from his mouth. "This won't take long, not a bit sir!" Naruto said as he was popping his back, fingers, and his neck.

"If you say so kid!" the guy replied.

"So… what exactly is you name?" Sakura asked.

"It's Royce! By the way, what are all your names?"

"I'm Sakura!" Sakura replied.

"Naruto at your service!" Naruto said after Sakura.

Kakashi lend over to Royce and said "The last one is Sasuke, he has a great possibility to become stronger then me, yet Naruto has an even greater one then Sasuke does."

"That weird kid with the orange cloths! Yah right!" Royce said, laughing a bit.

"He does…" Kakashi whispered silently to himself.

To be continued…
