I Don't Own Naruto
It had been about month since team seven had formed and throughout the month the three genin had been introduced to the Wonder of D-rank missions and as a team had completed around fifty of the damn things.
Now standing in the Hokage's office with Hinata holding Tora the cat belonging to Madam Shijimi the wife of the Fire Daimyo, the cat was the bane of team sevens D-rank experience at least half of the D-ranks were catching the damn cat and the cat would always scratch Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru, hence why Hinata was holding the cat otherwise her teammates might feel the need to slit the cat's throat.
"Tora-chan" squealed Madam Shijimi as she entered the room and took her cat from Hinata and squeezed the poor animal tightly.
"Ha serves your right cat" was the shared thought of Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru as the cat screamed from being squeezed to tight.
"Well done team seven well we have several D-ranks available, a member of the council needs his garden weeded, a nobleman needs his son watched" "TORA" "Capturing Tora …" said Hiruzen interrupted by a scream from Madam Shijimi.
"NO" growled Naruto interrupting Hiruzen.
"No?" questioned the aged Kage.
"No more chores we're ninja not teenagers desperate for money" Declared Naruto getting a nod from Kiba and Hinata.
"Well Kakashi what do you think are they ready for a C-rank?" questioned Hiruzen looking at Kakashi.
"Hokage-sama you can't be serious these three have been genin for less than a month" said Iruka only to stop as he felt the temperature of the room drop.
"Iruka shut up I have been trained for a combined total of three and a half years by S-rank ninja and these two have spent their whole lives being trained by at least A-rank Shinobi and we have spent the month training under an A-rank nin who we almost beat the first time we spared you know nothing of us or our progress and Hokage-sama asked Kakashi-sensei not you" growled Naruto glaring at the Chunin instructor who recoiled slightly at the disrespect and was about to reprimand the genin.
"He's right Iruka these three are now soldiers of the village not little academy students you need to coddle and in answer to your questioned Hokage-sama these three have been ready for a month now" said Kakashi.
"Right well I have a C-rank mission that I can send you four on" said Hiruzen pulling out a scroll tossing it to Kakashi who unrolled the scroll and quickly read through the contents of the scroll.
"Alright you three we're headed to Taki so meet at the north gate in half an hour and pack for a week" said Kakashi, all three of the genin nodded and left the room.
"Here you go Kakashi" said Hiruzen handing Kakashi another scroll which Kakashi pocketed, before nodding to his leader before vanishing in a swirl of leaves.
"Are you sure about this Hokage-sama?" questioned Iruka looking to the elderly Kage.
"Yes" said Hiruzen simply.
#Half An Hour Later At the North Gates#
Naruto walked up to see Kiba and Hinata already at the gates both with backpacks on.
"Where's your stuff Naruto surely you have to have at least a change of clothes?" questioned Kiba looking at Naruto. Naruto pulled the neckline of his shirt to the left revealing part of his tattooed chest a tattoo of an arrow crossed a scroll tattooed just below the neck.
"Most of the Tattoos on my skin are not purely decorative most of them cover seals I have tattooed onto my skin this one holds any and all of my supplies" said Naruto before letting go of his shirt letting it fall back in place.
"What k-kind of s-seals do you have t-tattooed on you?" asked Hinata who over the month with Kiba, Kakashi and Naruto she had gradually been getting better with her stuttering to the point it was almost gone now.
"I mostly have storage seals for various things, I have a summoning Tattoo here" said Naruto motioning to his right arm with a white furred Kitsune on it going down to an open mouth on his wrist.
"Uh let's see Gravity Seals and Weight seals but they're mostly covered by my tats" said Naruto truth be told he had a lot more seals tattooed to his skin he just was nervous to reveal all of the seals to his teammates as revealing what some of the seals he had did would bring up questions that he didn't really want to answer. Luckily for Naruto Kakashi chose this moment to appear.
"Alright guys we're headed to Taki which even going the max speed you guys can go is still about a day and a half but there's no rush so let's take a leisurely pace and we'll be there in two days" said Kakashi getting a nod from the three genin.
"Alright guys Delta formation" said Kakashi, the three genin took a triangle formation with Kakashi standing between Hinata and Kiba with Naruto at the front before heading out.
#Hours Later (Just as the sun was going down)#
"Alright Guys we can stop here for the night" said Kakashi as he stopped tree hopping the three young ninja nodded.
"You guy's set up your tents I'll collect some wood" said Kakashi.
"I don't need to set up a tent Kakashi-sensei I sleep in the open but I do kinda need to go hunting" said Naruto.
"Well if you can bring back enough for everyone" said Kakashi with an eye smile.
"Sure but I make no promises I have no idea what's around here" said Naruto before he then walked into the woods before pulling his bow off his back and formed an arrow of ice that he notched and held at the ready and walked far enough into the forest that a small pulse of Biju chakra would go unnoticed by Kakashi and Naruto's two teammates.
"Akane" said Naruto mentally.
"On it" replied the woman before discreetly sending out a tiny pulse of her Youkai even if she was sending out the smallest amount possible it was still enough to get all of the information within a kilometre.
"Alright you have lots of small birds in the area and even some small creatures but there's three boars two hundred metres west, a doe half a click north and two bucks fighting two hundred and seventy metres to the north east" declared Akane, Naruto thought about it for a moment before heading towards the two bucks forming another arrow of ice which joined the first ready to be shot at the fighting bucks. Naruto as he ran towards his targets quickly took to the trees and hopped silently towards the area he was told the bucks were.
Within moments Naruto reached the edge of a clearing that the bucks were fighting within and looking at the creatures he formed two more ice arrows and gently notched them before quietly pulling back the bow string and taking aim at the two animals hoping to hit each with a pair of arrows, Naruto took a deep breath and steadied his breathing and let the string go launching the arrows forwards and before the buck could even stop their fighting the two animals fell to the side as the blood drained out of them, Naruto dropped from the tree and walked forwards channelling chakra to his left hand as he did a knife appeared in a plume of smoke, Naruto knelt down beside the two downed animals that were good and dead and set about cleaning his kills doing it here rather than in front of Kiba and Hinata.
#About An Hour Later#
Naruto walked back into the campsite to see his teammates and sensei sitting around a crackling fire.
"Did you not get anything?" questioned Kakashi being first to see Naruto.
"No I just thought it would be better to clean the carcass and harvest what was usable away from these two" said Naruto motioning to his two teammates.
"Ah makes sense so what did you actually get?" questioned Kakashi.
"I killed a pair of bucks and a pair of boars" said Naruto unsealing half of the harvested material from said animals which did include all of the pelts which the meat was lying on.
"Take as much as you want I'll share this lot but the other half is mine" said Naruto, the other three nodded it was understandable he did kill and clean all four of the kills and the meat from one buck and one boar was more than enough for all of them and with that the four of them began to cook up the meat over the fire.
After everyone had eaten their fill of the meat Naruto provided and their own food they sat by the fire quietly.
"Alright we have to organise watch shifts" declared Kakashi.
"I'll keep watch" said Naruto leaning back stretching his arms above his head.
"Alright Naruto can take first watch-" said Kakashi only to be interrupted.
"I meant all night" said Naruto. Kakashi turned to Naruto with a raised eyebrow.
"I've spent almost a month in a constant state of awake before two days in a row is nothing" said Naruto, Kakashi shrugged.
"If you ok with that then sure" said Kakashi. Naruto nodded before pulling Samehada off his back as he jumped up into the nearby trees.
#The Next Morning#
As the sun rose on the horizon so did Konoha's team seven or at least Kakashi, Hinata and Kiba, Naruto was still very much awake from his watch shift, as the sun rose the three Konoha nin packed away their tent while Naruto cooked a fish for each of them for breakfast the fish caught from a nearby river.
After eating the four ninja set out towards their destination Taki.
#Several Hours Later#
After running for hours the four ninja arrived outside the village of Taki as they walked towards the village they were greeted by two people one was a man he had long brown hair and dark eyes, the second figure was a girl who looked to be younger then the genin by a year or two and was half hiding behind the man she had mint green hair and orange eyes.
"T-that girl she got Chomei sealed in her" said Akane from inside Naruto's head as the Konoha team walked up to the two figures.
"You sure?" questioned Naruto shocked to see another container.
"Absolutely" declared Akane.
"Hello there I'm Kakashi and you must be Shibuki" declared Kakashi stepping up to the man who nodded to the silver haired jonin.
"So you are the team the Hokage sent with his reply" said the man getting a nod from Kakashi who pulled out the scroll from his pocket and handed it to the man who opened it and began to read, Naruto took the opportunity to walk up to the girl.
"Hello there Imoto-chan you don't mind if I call you that right Nana-chan" said Naruto, the girl looked at Naruto terrified only then to calm down a bit when she saw his genuine smile at her.
"N-not at-t all Kyu-nii-san" stuttered the girl as she stepped out from behind Shibuki who was now looking wide eyed at the boy while Kakashi was staring wide eyed at the girl who stepped forward into Naruto's waiting arms and the two shared a hug and the girl began to sob.
"Shhh, Shhh it's all right Imoto" said Naruto soothingly as he ran his hands down her back in a calming fashion.
"I knew I made the right choice in transferring her to Konoha" muttered Shibuki but both Naruto and the girl heard the man.
"Y-you transferred me to Konoha?" questioned the girl slightly scared and at the same time looking at him with hope.
"Yes and this is the reply from the Hokage accepting the transfer" said Shibuki with a smile down at his surrogate sister, who smiled and ran over to hug him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" declared the girl hugging Shibuki.
"Just promise me one thing Fuu-chan" said Shibuki making Fuu look at him.
"Live happily" he said and Fuu nodded vigorously. Before anything else could happen a Taki ninja come running up to Shibuki.
"Shibuki-sama, Shibuki-sama the village is under attack" said the ninja.
