The Hokage office is busy as always, with stacks of papers that can be seen on the top of the desk. Team seven is now receiving their first C-rank mission, which is a big deal. It's unheard of for a Genin team to complete their probation period in just under 1 month in a peaceful era. Some would say this is the first time in Konoha history.
Sakura seemed tense seeing the importance of our accelerated advancement, but surprisingly also with suspicion. Satsuki, well, she just stood while listening to what the Hokage had to say. While Niisan….he's just bored and his left-hand twitches ever so slightly to his pocket. 'Typical' if I receive a coin for how many perverts inside my life, then I would have three coins. It's not much, it's just weird how I have three coins.
"Team Seven, as of now the three of you are clear to conduct missions outside Konoha. We expect great things from you three." The Hokage said with a professional tone. He seemed serious in this meeting. "Any question?"
"Uh. Hokage-sama." Sakura raised her hand. "Why is the probation period for team 7 accelerated?" Sakura asked the question in everyone's mind.
"A good question; we see potential in the three of you seeing coddling you three inside Konoha is….inefficient." Jiji I love you, but that is the greatest excuse I've ever heard from you. Unsurprisingly, I, Satsuki, and Sakura didn't believe it. 'The three Sannin and even my father never have this kind of opportunity.'
"Your mission is to escort someone from Wave country." Of course "bring him in" a gray-bearded man wearing glasses, a rice hat, and grayish sleeveless V-neck shirts with a white towel around his neck. ' alcohol can be smelled even from here.'
"I requested shinobi, not some brat playing ninja." None of us reacted to Tazuna's snide remark. "Especially that shortie over there, you're a ninja, what's with the glowing thing on top of your head and those white-orange clothing; isn't one of the main jobs of being a ninja is to become stealthy!" The glowing thing on top of my head?
"Uh, hi?" I can only faintly smile hearing his remark. I felt a jab to my left.
"Have some spine, Naruto. He's insulting you, don't just say hi." I heard an angry whisper from Satsuki.
"Sorry" I whispered back Satsuki responded with a tired sigh
"Calm down sir. I'm a jonin and my team consists of talented people in their generation who will protect you." He eyed smiled "even if their clothing choice is a bit weird." I heard Sakura snicker.
"Whatever, I am a super bridge builder Tazuna. I expect the three of you to protect me with your own life. Meet me at the main gate tomorrow." He left the mission office.
"We have such a great first C-rank mission client. Ughh, I'm going home preparing my gear and telling my family and Ino that I have a C-rank mission." She seemed ''excited'' about the mission.
"You two do the same thing as Sakura. We met at 7 at the main gate." Kakashi Said
"Kakashi you're not going to be late again, are you?" said Satsuki
"Just do what I say, I have to talk to the Hokage about the mission." We both left the mission/hokage office to prepare for our mission.
"What do you think, Naruto?" Asked Satsuki
"About what"
"The mission. Doesn't this seem too fishy?"
"I trust Jiji's judgment on the matter." Her left eye darted to me
"You are not suited to be A ninja Naruto, not with that kind of personality. you are too pure to be one, too naive, and idealistic. Sometimes I think you can't differentiate between reality and wishful thinking." My right eye darted back to her. "And you're telling me your dream is to become a Hokage or some shit like that. With that kind of personality, I doubt you are even qualified to do the job."
"All of what you said about me is true. I am too pure, too naive, and too idealistic. But that doesn't mean those traits are bad to have in a Shinobi. I am the kind of shinobi that flourished under the light of the sun. If I tried to dabble with the darkness I might find myself in an abyss of pain. That is why I have friends to help me in that kind of situation."
" Snort, I hope you find that kind of person, Naruto. Finding a guy to do the dirty work for you is kinda hard." I smiled hearing her response. "Why are you smiling?" She seems irritated.
"I don't have to, I've already found one," her head tilted to her right.
"And who is the lucky person"
POKE
"You Satsuki, when I'm Hokage. Would you be my left-hand woman?" Her eyes widened.
"W-what are you saying Naruto?" she spluttered. "I mean why me?" her face slightly reddened while holding her forehead with one of her hands.
"Well, I know I can't make a decision that is firmly in the dark area of shinobi life. So I just need your help to make those decisions for the betterment of Konoha." She tried to calm herself
"Ughm , ughm, I noticed you say I'm the left-hand woman, so who's the lucky guy being your right hand?"
"Shikamaru"
"I think you chose him so he can suffer like his father."
"Maybe"
Next day
"Is everyone ready?" The three of us nodded "good". I didn't hesitate to step my foot outside the village as me, Kakashi, and Tazuna started walking. I turned my head back to see Sakura and Satsuki hesitating. The two of them are still trying to process what's going on; as they're about to leave the place that raised and protected them, for the average children of Konoha they have heard about the atrocities outside the walls, all that suffering and torment always being told to them by their parents. They have lived inside a protective bubble that always shields them against the suffering of this world. 'Konoha is peace, Konoha is safety, and Konoha is family.' Propaganda that is made by the state, but in the end, that propaganda is necessary for the safety of the one living inside it.
"Guys, c'mon. If you don't hurry up, the two of you are going to be left out by us!"As soon as I shouted, the two of them started walking fast in our direction.
" You should've let them do it on their own." I heard niisan.
"True, but a little push is sometimes necessary to help a friend." Niisan chuckled when he heard my answer.
"Just like your mother." His face seems impassive but I can see a slight curve in his mask.
"Sorry for waiting too long, sensei," Sakura said with slight embarrassment.
"No, it's quite normal for genin to hesitate when they leave the village for the first time." He looked at me.
"So you're saying Naruto is not normal," Satsuki said with a smirk.
"Exactly, I think we're in an understanding, Satsuki."
"I hate the two of you."
"That's a lie Naruto, it's impossible for you to hate anything." Satsuki nodded in agreement with Niisan.
"Tazuna-san, does Wave country have a ninja village?" Sakura said, trying to change the topic of the conversation.
"We don't have one. Our country is too small to make one and even if we decided to make One most of the major shinobi clans and families already joined Konoha," he said plainly.
"Why don't you request help from the other village to train the civilians?" Sakura, you're too naive in international relations.
Before Tazuna answered Sakura's question. "It's because no shinobi village wants to add competition to the great game," Niisan answered
"Game?" Sakura said
"A term made by political scientist Masao Murayama, which described the power struggle between the major and minor villages as a great game; referring to how the continent as the board, the kages as the player, and the rest of us as the game set," I said to Sakura "he was one of the early prominent figures who's trying to understand the new world order the first Hokage had made."
"Thanks but how can you have such a niche knowledge about the world, Naruto?"
"With a lot of reading and shouting from the Konoha elder." Sakura is thinking about something when I say the world elders. For the rest of the trip, we mostly talked about miscellaneous conversation, when a familiar puddle could be seen in the distance.
"Ni-I mean sensei, there's shinobi hiding in that puddle." I pointed at the puddle. Now, you would think that the best course of action is to take out those ninjas quietly using sign language and whatnot or take them out by yourself to show off. But the thing is, that's overkill, knowing who's inside our team, and besides if there's an enemy I should've just told the client and my teammates.
"Good job, Naruto. Sakura, throw a paper bomb in that puddle." Niisan instructed Sakura. Sakura hearing the instruction quickly throws a paper bomb with surprising accuracy even for her; as can be seen by the expression on her face. The distance between us and the puddle is 200 meters so waiting for the bomb hitting its target is quite comical.
BOOM!!!!
"Ahhhh" two people charged from the smoke with bruises. ' it seems they're experienced enough to dodge… mostly dodge the explosion.
"You'll pay for that, you bastard." One of them shouted and started to do a hand sign. "Water style:water bullet." I, Satsuki, and niisan were about to dodge but I noticed sakura freeze because of the combat situation. Seeing this I materialized a wall of light in front of her.
"Focus, Sakura. we're in contact with the enemy." Hearing this Sakura slapped his cheeks and readied herself. I turned around to do an offensive action against the enemy. And prepared for melee.
Thump
Thump
Thump
When I turned my head around niisan had already taken the problem; with two knockout assailants. 'That was fast. Kage-level ninjas are scary.' The difference between them and a normal shinobi is just too much.
"Tazuna-san, I think we need to talk," Niisan said with a calm voice. "Why are two chunin-level ninjas attacking us in this seemingly peaceful escort mission?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." He said with also a calm voice but a hint of fear can be heard.
"Don't lie to us, Tazuna-san you're hiding something aren't you. Talk, or we're going to cancel this mission." The calm facade Tazuna maintained suddenly disappeared as sweat started to appear on his face. 'Niisan is quite scary.'
With a conflicting look, Tazuna finally decides to spill. "The truth is I was targeted by a merchant by the name of Gato. His objective is to destroy my plan to connect my country to the mainland."
"Gato? You mean that Gato." His voice seems off, then I realized is he acting? Did the village higher up know about the false information Tazuna has given us? 'Why does Jiji approve of this mission? If this was a regular genin team they would be…wiped…out hmm. A Kage-level shinobi and three geniuses considering Wave country's strategic location it has the potential of becoming the naruto world version of Singapore. 'Jiji you sly fox' he is planning to transform Wave into Singapore. In this situation, we are America trying to influence the Wave country's military and economy.
'If we're not careful we're going to draw the other nation's attention. Wave country and its surrounding water and island chains will be the spotlight of international geopolitics mirroring my previous world debacle with the south china sea.' Now we have a new hot zone that can spark the 4th great ninja war. 'It's bad enough Konoha has already influenced the minor country on our border with economic might, now we're trying to get a hold on them with hard power/naval power.'
'This is a powder keg waiting to be thrown into a lava.' I hate to say this but thank God Kiri Is In a civil war right now. If more players join in, the geopolitical situation will be tenser in the future. 'And the guy whose job is to fix it is going to be me. This is bullshit.'
I think I zoned out a bit. "Please help me. I have a widowed daughter and grandson. What would they think if their dear old pa and grandpa, who is the backbone of their family, are dead because of Konoha shinobi." He said with fake tears.
'Wow, that was really good acting. My heart was moved by his words.' I rolled my eyes
Niisan let out a big exaggerated sigh. "What about you three, do you guys think we should continue the mission?
" Yes," I said immediately, Sakura and Satsuki were still thinking about it.
"Fine, I'll join," Sakura said and Satsuki nodded in agreement.
"We have reached a consensus." He turned his head to Tazuna. " We'll do it but considering this is an A-rank mission or higher, we'll have to talk to your Daimyo and representatives because this will be expensive, we're talking about a lot of money." Yeah of course it is; an A-rank mission is equivalent to 100 million dollars. For a country like Wave, that's a debt trap.
"Of course, I will do anything." And just like that Konoha has acquired another puppet state.
"Uhh, sensei. What about those two ninjas you tied up?" Satsuki said, pointing at the three demon brothers that were knocked out.
"Now Children. You will now see Konoha's superior communication and organizational structure." He pulled out what looks like a primitive flare gun and shot it in the air. "With this, the nearest Konoha QRF force from the eastern command will be here in no time. All thanks to a certain someone my job as a ninja has been relatively easy for the past few years." I blushed when I heard Niisan's comment.
"Why are you blushing Naruto?" Sakura asked
"Nothing."
Later
After that light spar with the demon brother the four of us crossed the channel between fire country and Wave with a medium-sized fishing boat to avoid suspicion from Gato's men. After some sightseeing of the large bridge that is under construction, we can only look in awe at the size of the construction. "Magnificent," I said without thinking. I've never thought that the world of Naruto has this kind of mega project. 'It's almost the size of the golden bridge.'
"After all the economic sacrifice to make this bridge into reality, it's satisfying hearing an outsider praising the ingenuity of the people of Wave." He said with a tone mixed with pride and regret.
"How much does this bridge cost to Wave country?" Tazuna, hearing this question from Satsuki, just sits still and lets out a big smile.
"Everything" we sit quietly as if all of us are collectively processing his word. 'Jiji, I hope your gamble with this one bare fruit or the people of Wave will suffer for generations to come.'
We exit the boat in a nondescript place on one of the shores in Wave country. "Good luck with the bridge Tazuna,'' said the fisherman that transported us. "May God help you."
"A monotheist?" Sakura said
"There's a lot of missionaries from the western continent, many merchants from the west occasionally rest here and leave after one week because of Wave country isolation and weak infrastructure." 'Such potential for trade.' We walked more after we landed heading to the start of the bridge.
"Aaaveee MAriiiiaaa. graatia PLeeenaaa."
"Naruto, you've been singing that nonsense for 3 hours, will you shut up already," Sakura said angrily "beside what kind of language is that?"
"Are you sure he's not singing in a nonsense language?" Satsuki asked, apparently intrigued by my singing. "And Naruto, you have a great singing voice for some reason the tone of the song suits your personality." She complimented me
"No, it's not nonsense, the language has repeating words and clear tonation. And I doubt Naruto can create a made-up language that fasts even if he's a genius." She still looking at me with suspicious
"It's a popular church song in the western continent that was taught in the orphanage." Said niisan.
"Huh, why are you so obsessed with the western continent Naruto? Next, you're going to say that you're also adept in the traditional Land of wind language and custom," said Sakura
"Actually~" oof, I have bad news for you
"Oh, fuck off," said sakura
"Language" Sakura's response with groaning and muttering about something pretentious.
I want to laugh at her exaggerated response when I see a rabbit in the bushes a white rabbit in the middle of summer. "Sensei we got company." I sense two people hiding in the forest. 'That's definitely the two of them.'
"Threat level?"
"Kage and low jounin. Primarily using water style."
"Another Kiri Shinobi, this is definitely already categorized as an A-rank mission. If another ninja comes in it's going to be an S-rank. We sho- get down!!" A rotating giant blade headed our way.
'Hardlight release creation: Dome of light.' The blade bounced from the dome and was caught mid-air by a person wearing a mask and cow arm guard? The person landed with grace in front of us while also planting the sword in the ground. 'Not gonna lie, that was really cool.'
"Hmph, I think that's the first time I see a person controlling light itself." Oh God, his voice is also cool. "Well if it isn't Kakashi the copy ninja it's an honor to meet you."
"Zabuza of the hidden mist, it's an honor as well," Niisan said calmly "maintain protecting formation." He muttered we immediately did what he instructed, making Tazuna in the middle of our formation.
Zabuza smirked and raised the dull point of his blade to his shoulder. "Still I didn't think the legendary Hatake Kakashi was reduced to becoming a teacher for brats." He looked at us with a glare. "Talented brats but still brats." Niisan chuckled
"True, It's also surreal seeing Zabuza Momochi, one of the strongest inside the legendary seven swordsmen of the Mist, and the only one equal to the 4th mizukage beside Kisame, reduced to a simple criminal," Niisan responded. Zabuza also chuckled
"I'll give you that one, Kakashi. Now-" the air suddenly grows tense; Satsuki and Sakura are shaking with fear. "Let's get to business." With surprising speed, he immediately went into the middle of our formation intending to make the killing blow to Tazuna. Thinking fast I immediately materialized a sword to block it. "Annoying brat."
Thump
Zabuza was thrown into the air when a sudden kick from Niisan Hit him. He landed with a flip while sliding a bit from the ground. He's maintaining the stance of blocking with his sword when landed. ' he blocked it.' Both of them are equal in strength.' Since when did Zabuza become a Kage-level Shinobi…. Oh yeah my deal with God. It's quite reasonable if Zabuza's a Kage-level shinobi. The guy tried to do a coup in his village, of course, he's strong as hell.
"Damn brat. It seems this isn't going to be an easy one." A heavy fog of Mist suddenly appeared, depriving us of our visual sense. Niisan seeing this for the first time since I met him raised his headband revealing his Sharingan. "That fast Kakashi? I thought you wouldn't use it on me."
"Well, I don't have a choice." He readied a kunai
"How can he have Sharingan?!" Satsuki Said with rage.
"Calm down, he didn't steal it." I tried to calm Satsuki
"How can you be sure?"
"Trust me." That seemed to satisfy her anger, for now.
The sound of clashing metal can be heard inside the mist. As a fight between two highly skilled monsters is being performed in front of us; the sound of jutsus, explosions, and clashing metal transpose into a strange harmony, forming the song of destruction. Trying not to feel useless I made 10 clones to help out sensei.
Pooft
10 identical clones of myself armed with broadswords made out of light, charged in the general direction of the fight. Almost immediately ten memories of my clones already transferred to me. 'That fast who's attacking my clones.' I tried to digest the memory of my clones; finding that the reason for my short-lived clones is because of a cold senbon. 'Haku'
The mist suddenly disappeared revealing a ravaged battlefield with two people fighting on equal ground. Their taijutsu is magnificent with their experience in hand-to-hand combat just screaming with every dodge, attack, and block they made. "I must admit, you're pretty good, copy ninja." He swung his blade at Kakashi. it looks like it's going to hit the ground when niisan dodges it then suddenly, the giant blade swung back to niisan before hitting the ground and made niisan gain a considerable amount of air time as he is hit with the dull point of the blade. "Haku!" A figure appeared beside Zabuza. "Plan B I'll distract this pest, you'll target the kids and take hold of the bridge builder."
"But Zabuza-sama don't I have to ki-" an androgynous sound can be heard from the new figure.
"No, just capture him. I'll finish the business when you're done, so you don't have to." The figure nodded and suddenly ran toward us.
"Unbelievable the Demon of the Mist cared about someone isn't this surprising," Kakashi said with a smirk
"Shut up and fight old man." Another slash tries to hit Kakashi
"We're the same age, "Kakashi Said while weaving a fire Jutsu.
" Satsuki, Sakura, get ready for an attack." As soon as I instructed them to get ready a trail of ice Jutsu is in the middle of our formation and expanded to the three of us while avoiding Tazuna. "He's trying to separate us!" Haku immediately with speed tries to capture Tazuna. 'Not that fast.'
"Hardlight release:chains of light!" I pulled Tazuna up before he was snatched away by Haku.
"Thanks, kid," Tazuna said with a tremble in his voice. To keep him safe I made 10 more clones to get him away from the fight.
"Give him to me," Haku said calmly, "I don't want to hurt you." He/she (I don't know what his gender anymore considering what happened to Satsuki.) Pulled out senbons in his hand.
"Judging from your kekkei Genkai, you're a member of the now extinct or thought to be extinct Yuki clan." He/she didn't respond to my comment with words but with; more offensive move.
"Judging from my observation you are the most troublesome." More blocks of ice made their way to me forming multiple sharp points.
"Tch, hardlight release creation: sword." The broadsword materialized as I was doing an attacking stance. The ice attack Haku directed at me shattered as I destroyed it at the same time. Dashing with the help of chakra I slashed my sword intending to slash his/her face. He/she tried to dodge but I was faster when my hit connected his/her mask split in two revealing Haku's surprised face.' it's still androgynous yet beautiful and delicate.'
Haku quickly retreated. "It seems it is not that easy." A sole face can be seen on Haku. " I'm sorry." Multiple mirrors of ice appeared surrounding me, each of them containing Haku's image. Haku throws a barrage of senbon; all of them bounce back as a faint shimmer of golden light appears every time the senbon hits the shield.
"No, I'm sorry" multiple golden circles appeared in the air, each of them aligned perfectly with the ice mirrors, and small sparkling bits of light came out of them.
"It's useless, my ice mirrors are as strong as steel." I ignored Haku's comments. And smirked. ' Good'
"Hardlight release: Gate of Heaven!" Inside the golden circles swords slowly come out of it and as if charging, it absorbs light itself from the surrounding area. The sword violently tears through the air with the sound of multiple sonic booms accompanying it. Haku, thinking quickly left from one of the mirrors, but it's all for naught as Haku is still hit by one of the larger fragments of the shattering ice mirrors that flew into Haku's head and knocked him out instantly.
When the ice mirrors shattered it revealed to the outside world and to Zabuza a knockout Haku. As if consumed by rage, Zabuza, who's bleeding on his right hand from the fight with Niisan charged at me like an angry bull. "You'll pay for that, you bastard!" As I was about to attack with a kunai, I froze. behind him, I see something. 'demon'
Unable to respond I just stood there while mortified by the sight of an angry demon, his emotion of anger and concern all merged into one avatar of hate behind him. "Your enemy is me, Zabuza!" A sound of a thousand chirping birds can be heard. 'Chidori'
"Tch" Zabuza, realizing he's outmatched and outnumbered, retreated. "Wait for me Haku" he created another fog of mist and disappeared.
"Good job, Naruto," Niisan started to fall unconscious after he congratulated me. With quick thinking, I quickly caught Niisan before he hit the ground.
"Is sensei alright" I heard Sakura
"Yes, it's just chakra exhaustion, one night of rest ah he'll be alright." I turned my head to Tazuna. "Is the location of your house near?"
He nodded "yes, it's just one more kilometer."
"What should we do with this guy… or girl should we ask the QRF force to take him? Or her." Said sakura
"No, we are outside the border of Fire country. If we send a QRF force inside another country's border the other nation will sound the alarm bells." Always assume there is a spy everywhere, one of the lessons Danzo taught me.
"So what should we do with him or ahh fuck it im just going call this thing it." The three of us were surprised by Sakura's sudden outburst. "What should we do with it?" She pointed at it
"We'll use "it" as a hostage and interrogation. So…who's kind enough to carry it?" I said both. Satsuki and Sakura looked at each other.
"" rock, paper, scissors."" One rock and one paper
"Yeah! I won suck it, Satsuki." Sakura said excitedly. Satsuki…. Well Satsuki
"This is bullshit."
And done
And no (shifufud) Satsuki will stay inside Konoha

(My next story idea)
Out of Placed Rabbit
1000 years later I finally got to see my mother. Would she welcome me as her son or her tool? It doesn't matter. I finally get to see the face of my creator. 'Mother I finally get to see your face.'
For hundreds of cycles, my plan to revive her has come to fruition. Before I always thought that to bring my mother back I needed the power of the Senju and the Uchiha. I was so stupid back then. My mother never consisted of potent chakra and magical eyes, but the divine itself. For one thousand years, I have gathered the chakra of the tailed beast except for the nine tails. Konoha's reluctance to use them outside the village is infuriating.
"ROOAAR!!!" The scream that contains power. '9 tails' taking him out is relatively easy. Obito has done a marvelous job. Now I just need a sample of the last piece of the divine three.
"What are you doing here, creature?" He growled but then a face of recognition could be seen from him. "What are you!!"
"Hello, Kurama. We finally met. I am your uncle, but that is unimportant." I leap forward in my liquid form dodging attacks from the beast. Seeing my chance I immediately took some of the nine tails' chakras. "Thank you for the food my little nephew and goodbye." A giant toad suddenly stepped on the beast. Trying not to get detected by the surprisingly powerful hokage, Zetsu opted to travel underground to his destination; the Hokage mountain.
"Remember this world, be gleeful that your pathetic life will be used by mother as her food, and let the earth be the table of her banquet. Hear me world, for you would witness the true meaning of POWER!!!" Every tailed beast chakra I've collected is merged into one giant ball of glowing golden chakra, but Zetsu forgets about one big mistake. He is too weak to hold it.
"No!" The ball of chakra dissipates slowly
"No!!!!!" And exploded with a trail of chakra mirroring an Aurora moved into a hospital. "Mother!!"
"Keep pushing mam, keep pushing." A nurse is trying to help a lady giving birth. "Why now we're!" The hospital is hectic as injured people from the Kyuubi attack are being treated.
"Ahhhh!"
"Keep pushing mam, I'm seeing her head!'
" ahhhhh!" The effort from the woman paid off as the sound of a screaming babe can be heard. The nurse gives the baby for the mother to see.
"What's the name, ma'am?"
"Kaguya, her name is Kaguya"
(It's not so much an omake, but a story prototype, lol.)
