Chapter 6
"Land of Waves:Part 1"
[Training Ground Seven. With Naruto and Kakashi.]
"Raiton:Jibashi!" -Kakashi exclaimed, as he shot an electric charge toward Naruto.
"Really? Senpou Fuuton:Shinkū Renpa!" -Naruto exclaimed, before taking a deep breath and exhaling several blades of wind at different angles. Naruto jutsu dismissed his own, so Kakashi quickly jumped high in air and narrowed his single eye at Blond genin."You're not an easy person, eh Sensei?"
'Is this a dream of some sort?' -Kakashi thought, while landing on the ground. He was slowly getting tired of this. How fresh genin can keep up with him?'All of his files say that he's Academy dead last...So how can he be this powerful?'
"Now Sasuke!" -Naruto exclaimed, caughting Kakashi off guard. Sasuke sprung out of the bushes and waves through series of hand seals.
"Katon:Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" -Sasuke spat medium fireball toward Kakashi.
'My last sage chakra jutsu!' -Naruto thought with smirk."Senpou Futon:Daitoppa!" -He blow a powerful gust of wind toward Sasuke jutsu. The collision cause Sasuke jutsu to grow in size.
Kakashi quickly dogded upcoming fireball. But then he pick up new chakra signature. He moved his head to see Hinata charged at him with her Byakugan on. Kakashi simply side step as Hinata tried to close his tenketsu points. Naruto lift his headband and saw what was going on. He and Sasuke looked at each other and noded. They took their kunais out and charged at Kakashi.
Kakashi then heard the rest of genin coming Kawarimi himself with log. Naruto pick up Kakashi signature on the near by tree.
"Sasuke! On that tree!" -Naruto said pointing out with his finger. Sasuke went through series of hand seals and spat another fireball at Kakashi. Kakashi quickly jumped down only to meet a dozen of Naruto Kage bunshins."It's over!" -They exclaimed in unison.
'Ahhh...Might as well give up. I'm actually getting old.' -Kakashi thought with chuckle. He allow Naruto bunshins to caught him and pin him down. One of the Bunshin took the bells and throw them toward Naruto who caught them."I'm impressed...I actually am."
"Yeah, me too." -Naruto said, while panting."Man, I never fought an actual person like this."
"That reminds me...How are you this strong?" -Sasuke asked, causing Naruto to chuckle.
"I've been training for the past two years by myself." -Naruto explained.
"That's still doesn't explain how you got so good." -Kakashi pointed out, as Naruto bunshins poofed away.
"I've been reading alot of books in liberary about jutsus and training your own body." -Naruto replied with grin.'I will tell them one day...'
'How? I've been doing the same thing since my clan was wiped out.' -Sasuke thought. There was something fishy about Naruto. He'll find out eventually.
"Well...I have thing to say for you." -Kakashi said. He got up and gave them eye smile."You pass!"
"Really? That's awesome!" -Naruto exclaimed with grin.
"I quess you found out the reason behind the test, right?" -Kakashi asked with chuckle.
"Yeah, it was a bit easy. I mean there can't be a two-men team with Jounin." -Naruto said and Kakashi noded."So what now, Kakashi Sensei?"
"Tomorrow We'll start our first D-rank mission." -Kakashi replied and everyone smiled, minus Sasuke.'I need to go and talk with Lord Third.'"Well...See you all tomorrow." -With those words, he poof out of the existance.
"Man, all that fighting made me hungry." -Naruto said and put his hand behind the back of his head."Say Sasuke, wanna get a somethin' to eat?"
'Maybe I should...' -Sasuke thought for a moment, but then shake his head."No, I don't have time. Maybe next time." -Then he calmly walked away.'I have to go and train...I need to do the same type of training as Naruto. Can't believe I'm actually thinking about it.'
"Jeez...It'll take time to convince him to change. Don't you think, Hinata?" -Naruto asked and she noded.
"Don't worry about him. Let's just make sure that he won't turn on the Village." -Hinata said and Blond look down. He told her about the future of Sasuke. He promised to never let that happend."How about We'll get some Ramen?" -She offered and Naruto quickly cheered. It made her smile.
[Hokage Tower. With Lord Third and Kakashi.]
"So how did it go?" -Hiruzen asked without looking at Kakashi. He just got here and waited for Lord Third to say something.
"It was...beyond my expectation.." -Kakashi admitted and Hiruzen look up."Is Naruto really dead last?"
"I thought so myself. I saw what happend..." -Hiruzen said and Kakashi raised his eyebrow."Do you think he was using Kyubi chakra?" -He saw everything through his crystal ball. The display of Naruto skills easly puts him as Elite Chuunin. A low Jounin at best.
"No, he didn't. But there was something strange about him." -Kakashi said and Hiruzen hummed."Should I keep my eye on him?" -He asked and Hiruzen noded.
"Yes. He's more secretive lately. I just hope it isn't something bad." -Hiruzen said and Kakashi agreed."What can you say about Team Seven?"
"It's great. They quickly got their team work." -Kakashi said with eye smile."I think they'll turn into fine Chuunins someday."
"If they keep it up then maybe they will enter upcoming exams." -Hiruzen said with chuckle.
"So...There are going to be new Chuunin Exams, huh?" -Kakashi asked and Hiruzen noded.
"Who knows, maybe your team will take a part in it too." -Hiruzen said with smirk.
"Maybe. A team of fresh genins takes a part in chuunin exam. Normally I'd say it was a stupid idea. But with Naruto and Sasuke on team..." -Kakashi bragged and then chuckled."This could work. I only need to work on Hinata. I'll ask Kurenai for advice. Still, hard to believe she allowed Hinata to be on my team. Especially since I'm reading Icha Icha."
"Yes, I still have a headache after that." -Hiruzen said with laught."But I saw that Naruto and Hinata become close friends. Making friends is very difficult for jinchuuriki. So I thought that was best decision for both of them." -Kakashi noded. Still he wished that Kurenai would stop giving him glares all the times.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" -Hiruzen asked.
"Maybe We should call Lord Jiraiya?" -Kakashi suggested and Hiruzen perk up."Considering what Naruto can do, he might finally start teaching him as he wanted."
"Probably...Maybe We'll have next Konoha Yellow Flash?" -Hiruzen mused and Kakashi eye smiled.
"We will see..." -Kakashi said."Naruto is full surprises. I could focus more on Sasuke and Hinata that way."
"I'll try to make a contact with Jiraiya. But it'll take a while." -Hiruzen explained."You're dismised."
"I'll be off then." -Kakashi said and bowed to Hokage. Then he poofed out of the existance.
'Naruto...Just what happend?' -Hiruzen wondered, while sighing.'Did I do something that changed you?'
[Few months later. Hokage office.]
"Lord Third, can We get C-rank mission instead?" -Naruto asked with slight bow.
Naruto(Post training with Team Seven)-260
"It's good that you're paying respect to Hokage, but you're asking for too much." -Iruka said toward Naruto.
"It's okey, Iruka." -Hokage said."Now, why would you ask for C-rank mission?"
"To be honest, Our team is tired of D-ranks." -Naruto said."We already did 50 D-rank mission. Sooner or later, We'd get the C-rank mission. It would be great experience for us."
"I'll have to agree with Naruto." -Sasuke said surprising everyone."It doesn't have to something big...But something that will get us experience."
Sasuke(Post training with Team Seven.)-200
"What about you, Hinata?" -Third asked and Hinata poked her fingers together.
Hinata(Post training with Team Seven)-95
"We could use the extra experience." -Hinata replied and Sarutobi noded.
"I see...We have one free C-rank mission." -Hiruzen informed and took a piece of paper from his desk."You'll protect the bridge builder named Tazuna, back to the Lands of Waves. Simple escourt mission." -Suddenly there was a knock to the doors."Come in please."
A man in his late 50's entered the room. He's grey-haired, bespectacled man with a large beard and dark eyes. He wore a sleeveless v-neck shirt with an obi, pants and a pair of sandals. In his right hand he had a bottle of sake.
"Not to be rude, but are those ninjas that I hired?" -Man asked with scoff.
"Yes, Tazuna san. Team Seven will escourt you back to the Land of Waves." -Hiruzen said, as Tazuna took another gulp of his sake.
"I hope they good enought." -Tazuna said, causing Sasuke to snort.
"Don't worry, Tazuna san. I'm an Elite Jounin and those genin have potential to become Chuunins." -Kakashi assured with eye smile. Tazuna glanced at Kakashi and shruged it."Okey Team, pack for few days. Let's met in front of the gates in one hour."
[One hour later.]
"So show me what you prepared." -Kakashi said to his Team.
"20 kunais, 2 Fuma shurikens, 50 shurikens, spare cloths, sleeping bag, basic medic kit and food bars." -Naruto said with grin.
"30 kunais, 4 fuma shurikens, 80 shurikens, sleeping bag, basic medic kit, spare cloths and food bars." -Sasuke said with bored tone.
"12 kunais, 40 shurikens, sleeping bag, advanced medic kit, spare cloths and food bars." -Hinata said with small smile.
"Good. We can go then. It should take us at least two days before We'll reach Land of Waves." -Kakashi said and his team noded. They all turn toward the gates and went out into new adventure.
[One day later.]
On their way, Naruto spot the familiar puddle. He already knew that the Demon Brothers were hiding in there. Kakashi saw it too and shook his head. It was such a dumb way to hide. But he didn't expect genins to see it.
When Naruto sensed that they came out of the puddle, he crossed his fingers and two bunshins pop out into the existance. They charged at them, while going throught series of hand seals.
Demon Brother-150
"Fuuton:Daitoppa!" -One Bunshin exclaimed.
"Fuuton:Shinkūha!" -Other one exclaimed.
Demon Brother eyes winden as their bodies were push back and cut in many places. They landed on ground and tried to get up. But Naruto bunshins stop them, by pressing kunais to their necks.
"Sharp eye Naruto." -Kakashi commented, causing Blond to smirk."So...those are those infamous Demon Brothers. How about We'll have a little chat, hm?" -At that Demon brother got shiver."Naruto...I'll take it from here. You can dismiss your Kage Bunshins." -At that Naruto noded and his bunshin poofed away.
"How the hell did you know that there were hiding?" -Sasuke asked in surprised tone.
"There was a puddle of water. And it wasn't raining for a long time now." -Naruto explained with grin.
"I see...That make sense." -Hinata said smiling.
"Hn...Whatever." -Sasuke said waving him off."At least I didn't had to save you."
After few minutes, Kakashi come back with two scrolls in his hands.
"So...Tazuna san...Anything you have to say?" -Kakashi asked, giving the old man a look.
"Alright! I lied, okey. It's not really a escourt mission. I didn't said that there were people after because I couldn't pay you more." -Tazuna confessed and everyone listen to what else he had to say."My land is poor. Because of crime boss named Gato, our is terrible. He's stealing everything from us. The bridge I'm building his our last hope..."
"You should've come and tell us about the problem." -Kakashi said with sigh, while Tazuna looked down."This mission just got from C-rank to A-rank."
"I know I messed up...But! Please, help us! I beg you..." -Tazuna said and fall on his knees.
"Kakashi Sensei..." -Naruto started."We can't just leave Tazuna san like that. The land of waves needs our help. Beside, as you can see We can deal with what they will throw at us."
"Yeah...If that's the power of our enemy then We have nothing to fear." -Sasuke agreed with smirk.
"I agree with them. Abonding people in need is not Konoha way." -Hinata said seriously.
"Hmm...Still I have to send a word to Lord Third. But okey..." -Kakashi said and Tazuna perk up."We'll protect you, but once Land of Waves return to normal We'll expect the payment."
"Yes, of course! I'll double it!" -Tazuna said with relief.
