"This is a level C mission." Kakashi started as both Naruto and Sasuke entered the small clearing, he glanced between the two boys and saw Naruto shift uncomfortably. Kakashi glanced over at Sasuke who only nodded in acknowledgment.
"So whadda we doing? Don't see anybody around." Naruto said excitedly jumping up and down. Sakura pounded on his head,
"Settle down it's still early." She said. Naruto rubbed his head glaring at the other girl
"Never did anything to you…" He muttered. Sakura went to retort but Kakashi stepped in
"You're charge is coming now, I suggest you pay attention." He said. All three of the ninja's turned as he pointed to the woods. An old sage woman appeared, draped all in black gauzy material, she greeted the four ninja's.
"Good day to you all." Her voice was low and gentle, more like a whispering breeze then a old grandmother. Naruto stared.
"Who would possibly want to harm an old grandma like you?" He asked irritably. The woman's gaze lifted to him.
"Sharp tongued aren't you?" She asked, her gaze traveled over Naruto's face and the young blond glanced over at Sasuke begging for help. He got no sympathy from the other boy.
"Mistress Johanan is traveling to the Land of Sand, she is a Sage of old—"
"Does that mean you're fortuneteller?" Naruto jumped excitedly. Kakashi sighed,
"Mistress Johanan, forgive Naruto for his eagerness, it seems to run away with him."
"Oh, it's not a problem." She said eerily that even gave Sasuke the creeps. The Uchiha clan member grabbed Naruto elbow.
"Settle down." He hissed, but the Fortuneteller moved him away and grabbed Naruto's face in her hands. She stared into the blue eyes, her own black orbs widening,
"Kyuubi?" She whispered letting go of Naruto in an instant. Kakashi stepped forward.
"We will begin today." He said hastily. Naruto was stock-still, the name was ringing in his ears and it caused a deep unsettling motion throughout his body. He could barely breathe.
"Naruto?" a voice asked behind him. Shakily the blond managed to turn, it was Sasuke, a worried twitch in his eyebrow.
"What?" He asked, not looking at the other boy.
"Come on, we're leaving." The other boy said showing where Sakura and Sensei were leaving. Naruto started walking,
"What was that she called you?" He heard Sasuke ask. Naruto glared at him,
"It was nothing." He snapped, bounding forward and taking to the trees to make sure they wouldn't be followed. Sasuke bit his lower lip catching up to Kakashi, Kyuubi. That's what she had called him. He went to ask it of his teacher, but the look he sent him, he didn't dare. Sakura walked over by him, looking up at the rustle of the leaves,
"Naruto's taken to the trees?" She questioned. Sasuke nodded.
"He's grown up hasn't he." She continued. The Raven-haired boy really looked at her,
"Why do you say that?" He asked
"Dunno. He jut seems more attuned to the team, it seems Kakashi Sensei really knows how to make you two work together." She said this almost woefully. Sasuke hid his smile,
"Perhaps." He said glancing up.
