Naruto age 12
Satsuki pov
It's been two weeks since our first mission. Most of them only consist of D-ranks which is 'nice', it's hell with all of that fence painting, poop cleaning, and other unbearable missions. If it wasn't for the food some of the civilian council made for us I would've lost my mind a long time ago. Some missions are quite easy and relaxing like the cat mission. I think the cat's name is Tora. When we took that mission a gleeful face could be seen from Kakashi. I was cautious at first but after Naruto just called her name she just appeared. 'I can see why Kakashi liked that mission it was easy, quick to do, and the mission payment is stupidly high for a D-rank.' Sakura thinks it's because of Naruto's word-to-word 'prince charming aura' but I think it's because Tora is such a cute cat. I wonder why so many stares of amazement when we did it in record time.
Our training with Kakashi is slow not because he's lazy or anything, it's just he has to get us to speed in the administration and basic training I mean very basic training. Even if some of those exercises have been covered in the academy. His reasoning for it is to evaluate our current skills. You indeed need a long time to assess the in-depth skill of a person. Other than that he has taught us about the tree climbing exercise, unsurprisingly Naruto can already do it, and some refinement to our techniques.
I've asked him for more jutsu but he told me there is no reason for having a plethora of techniques if you can't find a way to use those techniques for combat usage. Somehow I think it's his own experience speaking.
Right now. Both I and Sakura are waiting for Naruto and Kakashi to arrive in front of the mission center.
"He's late again," said Sakura with a sigh."I can understand him, but Naruto? The Mr.' I will do everything perfectly' late…again!!" I didn't react to Sakura's rant. "Why do men have to be this useless!." Hearing her scream I just look at her.
She looked at me with an uneasy face."So, it's just the two of us."
"..."
"Uhh, how's your date with Naruto?"
"Date? What date?" I looked at her with confusion.
"Uh, the ramen one?" I shook my head hearing her answer.
"That wasn't a date, I was just trying to get my pizza back." She raised one of her eyebrows.
"You're a very interesting person, Satsuki." I just looked at her intently and she winced. 'Is there something wrong with my face?'
"Sorry guys for being late." Naruto suddenly appeared in our view. "whoa" he blinked. "Sakura what did you do?" He asked. ' Is that fear?'
"I didn't do anything, I swear!" What is wrong with these people?
Looking at Naruto I can see he's still wearing white shorts and a white t-shirt with that awful orange patch. Bad for an assassination mission but great for blending in with the crowd. "So Naruto, why are you late?" I asked him.
"Hmm, I was reading a book last night." He pulled out a book. 'The tale of the gutsy shinobi. Wait, isn't that the same author as Kakashi's book?'
"Naruto isn't that book written by the same guy who writes Kakashi's 'erotic literature' Are you reading porn?"
"What, no!!. I was just reading this because my name was on it." He waved his hand dismissively.
"So it's a porn book with your name on it?" I said with a smile on my face
"I hate you so much Satsuki." He said blandly
"I know," I said blandly as well. At the same time, I heard a snicker from Sakura and turned my head only to see Sakura looking at me with a huge grin.
"So you're the type of girl who likes to bully huh, Satsuki. An odd way to show affection but still cute." I just looked at her with confusion. "You're too innocent Satsuki…. In the adult kind of way." Before I asked for more clarification smoke appeared.
"Sorry for being late, a black cat was on my way bla bla you got the idea," Kakashi said with his biologically impossible eye smile.'I wonder if it's a type of Jutsu?'
"Hi, niisan" he waved
"Hello, Naruto, and its sensei for you young man."
"So what are we going to do today, Sensei?"
"Today we're going to have our last D-rank mission."
"Yeeeeah!" The three of us looked at Sakura. "Sorry"
"Any reason?" I asked
"Well, the higher up has deemed it worthy for the three of you to undertake a C-rank mission." that's weird
"Sensei, isn't the probation period for a new-minted genin is one month? Why are the higher-ups fast-tracking it?" Asked Naruto
" classified." That's not suspicious at all." As standard protocol for a new genin team to take a C-rank mission. I have one question for the three of you." It seems like he's suffering doing this. " Do you know about the birds and the bees?"
"" yes/yes," Sakura and Naruto said immediately.
"The what?" The three of them widened their eyes.
"Satsuki, do you have anyone to teach you, nurses, teachers, anyone? About this subject." I shook my head. " why Is this a job for a jounin sensei?" Kakashi said exasperatedly.
"I have a bad feeling about this, but Satsuki, do you know what the first time meant?" I raised an eyebrow after hearing Naruto's question.
"Of course, I know I do it all the time with my cousins." Kakashi and Sakura are horrified for some reason.
"You what!" A horrified look can be seen from Sakura.
"Oh, God. I knew the Uchiha clan is into some crazy stuff but this, Why!" A moment of realization hit Kakashi." no wonder Itachi is a psychopath. Why haven't we put this in the variable?"
"they are similar, it's like I'm watching that show again. Satsuki, what do you mean by the first time?"
"It's a kiss, right?"
"..."
"..."
"Knew it" he looked at Kakashi. "Sensei, it's your responsibility now."
"No, Naruto. Let me explain to her." Said Sakura.
One explanation later
"And he just put it in and out…repeatedly."
"..."
"Satsuki?"
"What!!!! Why do people do that gross!!!"
That was an awkward morning
Our last D-rank mission before our first C-rank mission is to help the Konoha orphanage on the outskirts of Konoha. Naruto Seems excited while Sakura is just muttering about her last mission and freedom. Me, I just hope we finish the mission before the library is closed. 'I need to do some research.'
"This is the place." Said Kakashi. The orphanage is relatively well maintained there is some part that needs dire repairs, but overall this place looks nice. 'The flowers are beautiful.'
Kakashi was about to knock on the door but Naruto stopped him. "Let me do it niisan." He said with another perfect smile. "I don't think mother keiri would be happy If I didn't greet her first."
"That is true naruto." A round lady with a nun outfit can be seen opening up the door. "It seems the year of me teaching you some manners is still holding on." She said with a smile.
Naruto seeing her widens his smile. "Hi, mother." He said while waving. "Sorry for not visiting the orphanage for the past 2 weeks, I was busy."
"I know. Now, come inside while I explain your mission." The 4 of us went into the orphanage and the mother keiri? Guide us to a sofa with tea on it. "I'm going outside the village to talk with the association of continental orphanages; I need someone to watch over the kids while I'm away. The orphanage has been understaffed ever since Aiko moved away with her husband."
"Any extra information about allergies or anything?" Kakashi asked
"Naruto knows about this place and its residents, you can ask him."
"Mission time frame?"
"Just one day, the place is not that far from Konoha." Mother Keiri gets up from her seat. "I'll be going then. And Naruto, remember to turn on the lights; with no chakra this time."
"Yes, mother" a disappointed face can be seen from him.
"Well, I'll be trusting this place to you Inu." Kakashi widens his eyes.
"How?" Mother Keiri just pointed at his hair.
"Next time use a new hair color. Take good care of this place ok."
Bam
"Ngwaaaaa"
"Ngwaaaa"
"Mama!"
"Oh, this is fantastic." He looked at us. "Team 7 go!"
"Sensei don't scream!" I heard Sakura screamed
1 hour later
Trying to make the children at the orphanage asleep is…challenging. "Hey, nee-chan can you tell us a bedtime story?"
"..."
"You suck at this Satsuki"
"Like you could do any better" Naruto made an exaggerated, insulted gesture.
"For your information, my babysitting skills are 98%." He said with a smug. And I just looked at him with confusion.
"How the frick you calculate that."
"I have my ways." He said. "Now Arin, what kind of story would you like?"
"The one with the double Darryl." The boy said excitedly. Naruto being the caring guy he is, starts to tuck in the child with a blanket.
"In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood."He'll be a good dad in the future. My face reddened for some reason.
"Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment." Wait what
"In his ravenous hatred, he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer." The child Arin is fast asleep 'how the blip' I just looked at Naruto in disbelief.
"Hmm," he blinked while looking at me."What? It's his favorite story."
"You know what this suits your personality, Naruto."
"Thanks"
So Naruto is secretly a psychopath
'Not surprising.'
Hiruzen pov
Yesterday
Knock knock
"Enter "a man with a chunin vest opened the door holding a mission request paper."What is it, Misaki?"
"Hokage sama " he saluted. "Another report for a suspicious mission request." He handed me the files. "When was the mission requested?" I started to open the pages; inside was a picture of an old man, his general description, and his identity. 'Wave, huh' if I remember correctly the country is in the middle of a very busy shipping lane.'
"Just this yesterday, sir!" He said
"Any dossier about this man or are we completely in the dark here?"
"No, sir." He handed me another file.
'Tazuna, occupation bridge builder, a very famous one, he's responsible for building the Kannabi bridge.' This is suspicions
"Call Danzo for me." It seems we have a very interesting scenario at hand.
"Yes, sir" he saluted
Wave country is a very strategic place in the continent; the Kumo-Kiri-tea-Konoha trade lane is near the tiny island and more worryingly a very good starting point to launch an invasion against Konoha as the eastern flank is lightly guarded by the newly organized army group as most of our shinobi and fortifications are stationed at the northwestern and north command. If the eastern side of Fire country is exposed then our country is doomed. Fortunately, Kiri is in a civil war right now.
Too engrossed in my thoughts I didn't realize that Danzo was already in my room. "You called, Hiruzen." I nodded
"What's Root info about wave country?"
"In shambles, the daimyo and the country are being controlled by a businessman named Gato."
"Gato? You mean the richest man, Gato." He nodded. A Shipping tycoon, at first glance one might think most of his fortunes come from his shipping business. But every major village knows that is utter bullshit. To put it simply he's a drug lord and a smart one at that. He has avoided assassination by the Ninja villages by becoming useful; giving information, bandits for us, and etc."So that's why we have a bridge builder from Wave lying about mission info."
"I'm guessing this bridge builder. Want to connect Wave with the mainland?"
"Yes" I smiled "I'm surprised that you are this interested, Danzo"
"Wave is a very strategic place both militarily and economically right now. That place is a launching point for our root anbu to operate in Kiri." I smiled wickedly, "Hiruzen, what are you planning?"
"That bridge builder has lied to us about mission info. What do you think would happen if we 'cancel' the mission because of misinformation about a mission class?"
"Continue"
"We make the country indebted to us rather than giving us money. We push to lease us some land to build a military port for their 'protection' and a permanent military base. If we are lucky enough we could make them inside of our umbrella."
"Effectively making our fleets have the majority control in the central sea and a buffer for our eastern flank." He smiled "I like your Idea, old friend. But we have a problem: we need an inconspicuous team so this bridge builder doesn't raise an eyebrow or spook him." I grimaced. If we send an Anbu or your average Chunin team. The other major village will know and will see this as Konoha flexing its military muscle creating tension within the area. Tension Konoha is not ready for." it seems this mission is impossible." a great opportunity disappeared just like that in the blink of an eye. 'What a waste.'
"If only there was a genin team consisting of a Kage level shinobi and 3 geniuses." Danzo for some reason looked at me intently.
"True" unfortunately that kind of team is unrealistic in real life.
"..."
"..."
"Hiruzen seriously" Danzo facepalmed.
"What?"
"Ahhh for God's sake send fucking Naruto and his team!"
"Oh…sorry"
"You really are getting too old for this job Hiruzen." Well, I can't deny that. "Send Naruto and Kakashi. This will be good for either of them in their resume when one of them takes the mantle." Making naruto's first 'C-rank' mission important is appealing.
'Very well then. I'll let Kakashi know about our decision."
"Oh, some information Hiruzen Orochimaru is on the Akatsuki."
"His position?"
"A grunt" I widened my eyes
"Worrying. How powerful is this organization that made Orochimaru into such a low position."
"That's what Jiraiya said in his report." Said Danzo
"Thank you Danzo, you may go now." He left using the door.
"3 more years and you can retire, 3 more years to make sure he is ready." I looked at the Village while seated. "This alliance would be my gift for you, Naruto."
Yes, I'm going to recreate NATO but it's the Naruto world version. The reason I'm not bringing up the HUD more often is that I don't think it's necessary to write almost the same stat in a close-period story time-wise.
And yes there will be some conflict with sakura in the future because of ino. That's all I'm going to say.
