Naruto woke up the next day around 10 am, to a knock on the door. He yawned and flashed to the front door, opening it. He raised an eyebrow when he saw Kakashi, "Kakashi, come on in."

Kakashi nodded and walked in, "Naruto, are you okay after yesterday?"

Naruto smiled and nodded, "Yeah I'm fine, why?"

"I left you alone to fight one of the strongest S rank criminals out there, when I was supposed to be helping you fight him. The only reason that you were even in the position to fight him was for me. To unseal Anko for me." Kakashi told him, "I didn't have much of a choice, I saved Anko but at a cost I risked you, my comrade, my son."

Naruto laughed, "I would have, and have done the same thing. I jumped in the way of a blade myself to save Hinata, she almost died. Don't worry about it."

Kakashi nodded, "Well, I didn't know how the fight ended so I wanted to check on you. I also have a favor to ask of you."

Naruto nodded, "For you Kakashi, anything."

Kakashi smiled an eye smile, "Well I asked Anko to marry me, she of course now said yes, now that she is unsealed. So, I'm going to need a best man, and I couldn't think of anyone better than my surrogate son, the one responsible for me being able to marry Anko."

Naruto grinned, "I'd be absolutely honored. It would be my pleasure."

Kakashi nodded and sat down at the table, "So now that the unsealing is done, you are back to full health, when do you and Hinata start on missions?"

Naruto sighed, "Technically Hinata still isn't a genin, though she is definitely around mid chunin level I think. She is skilled and has gotten her chakra control back, her control is top notch, especially with the training she is getting under Tsunade. She is a skilled medic, though not as good as Tsunade and Shizune, yet. Her Taijutsu is coming along incredibly as well, she is flourishing with her new style. She is doing well with jutsu as well, though it isn't coming naturally to her. She is worried how her clan will react when they find out that she is using jutsu. They don't allow such a thing. So, she has to take a test with Iruka-sensei later today, if she passes she gets ranked as genin, then we start missions. Although I won't waist her time with D rank missions. I'm sure we may get assigned D ranks, but if that's the case we will send shadow clones to get the job done while we train."

Kakashi nodded, placing his hand on his chin thinking, "You two have an odd situation, normally teams are four men teams, however it seems Hinata may not be comfortable with other people just yet, also there aren't two other genin to assign to you. However, she also isn't strong enough to join myself, you, and Shikamaru on any missions, or if she was the missions wouldn't be worth the opportunity cost of sending me, you, and Shikamaru on those missions. I wonder where she will send the two of you. D rank missions are below the two of you, it would be a waste of your time and the village's resources."

Naruto nodded, "I know, honestly, I've been off of real missions for a while now."

Kakashi nodded and accepted the cup of coffee that Naruto handed him. He took a sip from it and smiled again, life was finally getting back to normal, "Naruto things are finally going well for you. Hinata is getting better, she is so much better when she came back."

Naruto nodded, "I was so scared when she first came back, I thought she would never get better for a while, she was so broken and fragile. It was so hard, it still is sometimes. She still has nightmares, horrible nightmares. She is still somewhat broken. However, things are much better." Naruto then let out a frustrated sigh.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong? Progress is good."

"I'm failing her, as a sensei and a mate. I still have no idea how to remove that fucking caged bird seal from her. It seems impossible. I…don't know what to do." Naruto told him.

Kakashi nodded, "I'm certainly no seal master. I'm not a slouch, but I'm definitely no master like you, and Jiraiya. Have you gotten a copy of the seal from Hiashi, and seen how it is applied?"

Naruto shook his head, "I haven't yet, I don't know how much it'll help but I suppose at this point it couldn't hurt. I will talk to Hiashi when I get a chance."

Kakashi nodded, and the two talked for a few more minute before Hinata walked into the kitchen, "Morning Kakashi-sensei, I'm glad you are up and about."

Kakashi laughed, "Mostly thanks to you I hear, you're getting quite good at healing Hinata."

Hinata blushed, "I'm nowhere near as good as Tsunade-sensei."

"Still, magnificent work, you have been training hard here, excellent work." Kakashi told her giving her an eye smile."

"Thank you. How is Anko?" Hinata asked.

"She is fine, just recovering from slight chakra exhaustion." Kakashi told her.

Hinata grinned and gave Naruto a kiss on his lips, before sitting down with her own cup of coffee, "Good morning Naru."

Naruto grinned back at her, "Good morning Hina. Kakashi came to check on us, and tell me that he and Anko are getting married. He asked me to be his best man."

Hinata grinned, "Congratulations Kakashi."

"Thanks, Hinata, I do need to tell you, you are Anko's disciple, she wanted me to ask you if you would be one of her bride's maids, Shizune is going to be her maid of honor, they have been very close friends for a while." Kakashi asked her.

To say Hinata was shocked would have been a drastic understatement, "I-I would be honored."

Kakashi grinned, "Great! Well I need to go and inform a few of my other groomsmen. So, I'll be off." With that Kakashi shunshinned away out of the house.

Naruto turned to Hinata, "You ready to become a genin again? You are going to test with Iruka. I'll make you a big breakfast to get you ready."

Hinata grinned blushing slightly, "Thank you Naru, I love you." She kissed him as he stood up next to her.

After Hinata got dressed and ready with her ninja weapons, she ate the big breakfast that Naruto made her, she smiled happy with herself, she was finally going to be a ninja again. With Naruto as her sensei and teammate, she would bring pride to the Hyuga clan, and to her father. If she did well maybe the clan would remake her the heir, they would accept her and love her finally. She would make them all proud, prove them all wrong. Hanabi would finally realize that she wasn't weak and pathetic, that she had just gone through rough times. That she didn't have much of a choice in giving Orochimaru information on her clan and techniques. She sighed, she could only hope that being a strong ninja could one day repair her relationship with her sister, the girl hated her, she just wanted to make up with her. The elders had poisoned the girl's mind.

Hinata turned as she felt Naruto put his hand on her shoulder, "Hinata, is everything okay?"

"I'm thinking about my relationship with my sister, I'm hoping that now that I'm going to be a ninja again, if I become strong enough I can prove my clan wrong and maybe she will be my sister again." Hinata told him.

Naruto sighed, "Hinata, please don't get your hopes up too high. You can be as strong as anyone out there and people who don't respect you…they just aren't going to respect you. You see how strong I am, the villagers still hate me."

Hinata frowned, she hadn't thought much about that, "But, my clan respects strength over all else."

Naruto sighed, "Just please don't get your hopes up too high Hina. I don't trust your clan to just accept you back, but come on we need to go."

Hinata nodded and stood giving Naruto a quick kiss before holding his hand and he flashed them to the school where Tsunade, Shizune, and Iruka were waiting. Naruto waved to them as Hinata walked forward and Iruka grinned at her, "Hinata, good to see you again, let's get down to business, you are exempt from the writing portion, so let's start with kunai." He led her to a line, "Okay you remember this test, right? Throw the kunai and don't step in front of this line."

Hinata nodded and pulled her kunai out throwing ten of them and scoring ten bullseyes. "Well done Hinata, you pass that, let's do shuriken now." Iruka pointed her to a different target, and got the same result, ten bullseyes.

"Well done Hinata, let's see the clone jutsu, transformation jutsu, and substitution jutsu." Iruka told her.

Hinata nodded and performed the 3 academy jutsus with no problems. Iruka nodded and led her to the next station, it was a sparring ring, "Now, since you don't have any other students to spar with, you will be sparring with me, please don't actually shoot chakra through your attacks."

Hinata nodded and stepped into the ring, doing a quick stretch before dropping into her flowing gentlefist stance, "I'm ready sensei."

Iruka nodded and stepped in himself, the two sparred lightly, Iruka watching her form and technique with taijutsu. He was quite pleased and called the match to a stop. "Okay Hinata I have everything I need, you passed."

Hinata grinned, "Thank you, sensei."

Tsunade walked up to them, "Good work Hinata. Naruto, I need you and Hinata to come to my office with me."

The two ninjas nodded and followed their leader to her office, when they got into the office Tsunade sat in her seat and waited for a moment, Shizune let a man in a straw hat into the room, he was a drunk, Naruto picked up on that immediately, he could smell that the bottle the man held was full of alcohol, he could also smell it on his breath.

"I have a mission for you two, it is "C" rank. You will be guiding this man to the land of waves and make sure that he isn't attacked by any bandits." Tsunade told them, handing a folder to Naruto.

Naruto opened it and looked at it. He raised an eyebrow, he immediately knew something was off, something was wrong. First, for the last three years the land of Waves was in shambles. He knew from firsthand experience, he and Jiraiya had gone there during their travels, it was in bad shape, a very poor fishing village. Second, was the note on the bottom of the page. It told Naruto that he would be hosting the man in his house for the night, and that Tsunade was going to travel with them to the Estate and give him a real mission briefing there. Where there were no prying ears.

Naruto nodded and sealed the mission folder in a seal on his arm. "Great, Tazuna you will be staying with me tonight, why don't we head that way, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, Jonin of the Hidden leaf, this is my student Hinata Hyuga. We will all stay at my Estate, I'll provide dinner and we will discuss your protection tonight."

Tazuna shook his hand, and Naruto immediately realized that the man was in fact pretending to be drunk, he was sober, in his eyes Naruto could see a deep sadness. Something had happened to this man in the past. Naruto smiled at him and Tazuna replied, "It's nice to meet you Naruto." He said in a quiet voice before shouting out, "You are having these two weak looking shinobi take care of me! Is that a joke!"

Naruto raised an eyebrow, looking at Tsunade, she nodded to him, so he decided to play along, raising his voice, "I'll have you know I'm gonna be the future hokage!"

He and Tazuna continued for a few minutes before Tsunade finally screamed at them to stop. The group then travelled to Naruto's house where they went inside and closed the door, as soon as the door was shut Naruto activated all his seals and the house became impenetrable, and soundproof again.

"What the hell is going on Lady Tsunade?" Naruto asked.

Tsunade sighed, "Naruto I have a mission for you and Hinata. It's very important and it in reality is high A to S rank, not C. You will encounter high rank Ninja assassins. Tazuna came to me he informed me he didn't have enough money to pay for the mission he really needs. He needs us though. You and Hinata are the only team I can assign a C rank like this to, the council can't know, they would want to side with Tazuna's enemy. You've heard of the Gato, of the Gato Company right?

Naruto nodded, "The shipping magnate? Yeah, I've heard of him, one of the richest men on the planet, right?"

Tsunade nodded, "The very same, he is our enemy on this, you can see why the council will not let me assign a jonin team to this, the lack of pay would cause them to take interest in this, they would refuse to take the job, but instead take Tazuna to him, in return for money, and his further employment of our forces. They care more about money than people. I can't send any other genin squad into this mission, they would die. You and Hinata however, you are my strongest jonin sensei at the moment, and one of my strongest ninja period, only Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Gai come anywhere close to you. Hinata is certainly my strongest genin, I know that she is midchunin level, the two of you should be able to get it done."

Naruto nodded, "We can handle it, so what are we going to be doing?"

That's when Tazuna spoke up, "I'm a bridge builder, I started making a bridge from the island to the mainland, see Gato owns all the ports so he taxes them all very heavily, nobody in my village can make a living, we are all barely scraping by. If I can build this bridge he would have no power, we could use the bridge for trades. Gato knew this, he hired ninjas he took my daughter Tsunami, and her son, my grandson Inari. He took them to stop me from building my bridge, he has kept me in line by holding my family hostage. Please you have to help me. I have heard of how strong you are. Please, I'm begging you."

Naruto nodded and gave him a small grin, "Don't worry, I will save them. You will have an army to build your bridge. You came to the right ninja."

Hinata nodded, "That's right, we won't stop until you have your family back." She then looked at Naruto, the man she loved had a look of absolute determination, he was fired up about this particular mission. Perhaps it was because he had lost his loved ones."
