SMACK, BANG, POOF, CRASH were the sounds heard coming from an alley in Konoha. "Come here you bastard." Naruko screeched before receiving a cut on her whisker marks. Tora struggled and mewled as Kou managed to grab its tail. Sasuke had already fired a fireball and it was too late to stop it. Kou barely managed to shunshin away with Tora before the fireball incinerated all the garbage in the alley. He turned to see Naruko and Kakashi lecturing Sasuke. "You can't just throw a fireball, that could've seriously hurt him, he's not like you too." "Never hurt your comrades duckbutt-Chan, they're supposed to be your precious people dattebayo ." They both turned to see him walking out of the alley holding Tora by the scruff of his neck.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to endanger you, how could I be police chief if I hurt a fellow citizen, Please accept my apology." Even though it was said stiffly Kou could see genuine remorse in his eyes. "Isn't your brother set to be Police Chief?" Naruko obliviously asked, Sasuke's eyes subtly narrowed, "No he chose to stay in anbu." He finally answered and the tension in the air dissipated.

"Let's go eat dattebayo ." Naruko yelled happily eyes sparkling as they walked to the tower, Kou noticing the rising whispers and murmurs was about to respond before Sasuke noticing how agitated he was responded, "Me and Kou are going to train." He have Him a grateful look and Sasuke shot a smirk back to him.

When they reached the tower Naruko ran into the room and grabbed the hokage's hat. "Dad, can we get a C-rank please? I won't tell mom, the D-ranks are driving me crazy." The Yondaime scratched his head before looking at Kakashi who simply eye smiled back at him. The Yondaime looked at each of the members of team seven before relenting, "Your mission is to clear a bandit camp near Tanzaku Gai." "Okay Minato-Sensei." Kakashi said before disappearing in a poof of smoke. Sasuke and Kou began to file away while Naruko stayed to talk to her dad, food and training long forgotten.

Kou walked into Amai's shop, "What do you want kid?" "One pack of explosives and five smoke bombs." He left the money on the counter before shunshining away. He walked into the barren apartment and pried up a floorboard. He pulled his kunai, shuriken, and the rest of the money he'd saved from the constant D-ranks. He walked out of the apartment and saw he had fifteen minutes. Deciding to walk he lost himself in thought and found himself waiting and playing with a kunai. He saw a familiar flash of raven hair. But before he could yell out to greet him he saw him talking to an older boy with black hair and an Uchiha crest on his back too.

The boy sensing his attention glanced at him before turning his attention back to Sasuke. They nodded towards each other before the older boy flickered off. Sasuke seeing him gave him a nod and stood together in comfortable silence. Naruko popped up in a puff of smoke next to them, "She saw Sasuke had his one tomoe active and Kou's bunshin faded away as he had a kunai out. She held out her hands in mock surrender and they all leaned against the wall, until they heard a familiar "Yo" "Kakashi-Sensei you're not late." They screamed until they heard a female voice, "I wouldn't let him be late to my daughter's first C-rank, 'ttebane." Kou saw a red headed female with amethyst eyes holding a mini version of herself who looked about twelve years old.

"Kaa-Chan and Mito-Chan." Naruko grinned as she ran up to them and gave them a hug. Kakashi dodged the blonde ball of energy. As the three family members hugged. Kushina turned towards Kakashi "If any of your pervertedness rubs off on her, I'll destroy all your icha-icha." She then turned towards Sasuke and Kou, "Watch out for her, If something happens nothing will stop me from finding you." They both looked at each other before Naruko saved them from answering. "Mom, time to go, yep, hey Mito you're hungry, right say you're hungry." She stammered as she tried to push Kushina away from her team. "Wait not before I get a photo." Kushina tried to say but was already too far away. With Mito following along giggling.

Naruko came running back to them as Kakashi eye smiled before she awkwardly smiled before tree jumping away trying to hide her embarrassment
