~Tenshi's POV~
We were working on a mission, D Rank of course. I've done this before with dad, they aren't hard, they're boring. I was hiding in a tree when the others where in other spots.
"Sasuke, point A," Sasuke reported.
"Sakura, point B," Sakura followed.
"Tenshi, point C," I said next.
"…Naruto, point D," Naruto said.
"Naruto, you need to be quicker than that," dad told him. "Okay, everyone ready?" Dad asked. We all gave our reply that we were ready and he initiated the mission. We moved forward to get the target and Naruto caught it, but the cat ended up putting up a fight with him. I giggled a bit at the sight and whistled. The cat looked at me and trotted over to sniff my hand. It then licked and curled around my shoulders to nuzzle my neck. Tamotsu started growling at the attention was giving Tora. I pat his head.
"I still love you, Tamo," I told him, his growling then seized. Sasuke came up to me and started petting the cat with Sakura. Naruto however was fuming.
"A hate cats! Tamotsu is so much better! He doesn't scratch my face up!" Naruto exclaimed. Tamotsu went up to Naruto and licked his face causing the scratches to disappear. "Hey, thanks, Tamotsu!" He said patting Tamotsu on the head.
"Good job, everyone. Mission Lost Pet Tora Search, complete!" Dad said happily. We then went to the Hokage building and met up with the owner of Tora; the fire country lord's wife, Madam Shijimi. I really felt sorry for the cat with how Shijimi would practically crush him in her hold. I then whispered to Sasuke.
"Now we know why he ran away," I said to him. He nodded in agreement. Lord Hokage was giving us another D Rank mission when Naruto crossed his arms and declined it saying we need a harder mission. Though I agree…with everyone, we should go at the pace the Hokage thinks is best. The Hokage said we need to follow the ways the Genin would get missions, meaning we mostly needed D Ranks before we were more ready for C Ranks. But Naruto was confused.
"Tenshi, can you please explain this to him?" Lord Hokage asked me. I bowed to him.
"Yes, Lord Hokage. Naruto, we have just become Genin which means it's only natural to start D Ranks and keep going for a while. The D Ranks help us to learn patients…which you unfortunately lack. C Ranks are a little harder, they involve guarding and such. You rarely come across other ninja that you would possibly need to fight, but you would still have to go into battle in order to keep the client safe. This is mostly for Genin who are getting closer to becoming Chuunin, and of course for Chuunin. B Ranks are also for Chuunin meaning they would most likely be dealing with other ninja along the way. And A Ranks are for Jounin like my dad, they have to deal with harder missions such as spying and more battle. Lastly theres S Ranks which is for ANBU, they have the worst missions, they do guarding missions for the most important people who would most likely have S Rank criminals after them. So for now, we do D Ranks because we're new at this," I told him. He nodded but still put up a fight. I sighed and shook my head. "It's like talking to a wall…" I mumbled, Sasuke and Sakura snickered. Dad patted my head. Iruka-Sensei told Naruto to stay in his place and as Naruto tried again, dad and I hit him over the head.
"Knock it off!" We shouted at him. That's when the Hokage spoke up and said we can have a C Rank. We were then given a guarding mission. Lord Hokage called in our client and we saw it was a bridge builder…who drinks a lot of sake.
"What's this, they're all a bunch of brats. Especially the short one with the stupid looking grin," the man said. Naruto looked at me and chuckled.
"She may be short, but she's really nice," Naruto said not getting that the jab was for him. I sighed.
"Naruto, I'm about an inch taller than you," I told him. He then looked at the old man.
"I'm going to kill you!" Naruto shouted. Dad and I held him back.
"Naruto, we can't kill the client we're supposed to protect," dad and I said at the same time. Yup, I'm definitely my father's daughter.
"I am expert bridge builder, Tazuna. I expect you to protect me while I finish building my bridge," Tazuna said to us. I walked up to him and bowed. I had a horrible feeling about this, like he was hiding something, but I will keep him safe and interrogate him if anything happens.
"We'll make sure to keep you safe, Mr. Tazuna. And I'm sorry about my comrade, now if you'll please excuse us, we need to prepare for the journey," I said to him. He gave me a small smile.
"Okay, I like you, you have manners," he said to me. I smiled and we all left to get ready. We met outside the gate and Naruto became…more excited. "Hey, am I really going to be safe with this brat?" Tazuna asked dad ticking Naruto off.
"Hehe, don't worry I'm a Jounin and my daughter, Tenshi, is practically Jounin level," dad told him.
"Hey old man! Don't mess with ninjas! I'm incredible! One day I'll take on the elite ninja title Hokage! My name is Naruto Uzumaki! Remember it!" Naruto shouted. Oh, please stop…
"Hokage is the village's number one ninja, right? I doubt someone like you could become it," Tazuna told him.
"Shut up! I'm prepared to do anything to become Hokage! Once I become Hokage, you will acknowledge me!" Naruto shouted.
"No I won't you brat, even if you did become Hokage," Tazuna said to him. Lord, please make them stop. Tamotsu looked at me whimpering.
"I know Tamo, I'm getting a migraine too," I said to him scratching his ears. Sasuke put a hand on my shoulder.
"I'll kill you!" Naruto shouted at him. Once again, dad and I hold him back.
"Okay, Naruto, that's enough. If you stop this now, I'll buy Ichiraku Ramen when we get back," I compromised. Naruto stopped instantly and looked at me suspiciously.
"Do you mean it?" He asked me. I nodded.
"Cross my heart and hope to die," I said making a cross over my heart.
"Okay, let's go," Naruto said. Dad then patted me on the head and smiled.
"That's my girl," he said to me. With that we started walking and Sakura as about the wave country having ninjas, and even though there shouldn't be any ninjas, I wouldn't be surprised. We kept walking for a little bit and eventually passed…a water puddle? That's impossible. It hasn't rained in days. I looked at dad and nodded, he nodded back showing he knew. I looked at Tamotsu.
'Stay on guard, there's ninja around here,' I thought to him. He nodded his head.
'I know, I can sense them, watch your back, Tenshi,' he thought back to me. I nodded. That's when they appeared and trapped my dad in chains. Of course I knew it was a shadow clone. He pretended to look scared and they cut up my 'dad'.
"Kakashi-Sensei!" The others shouted. I looked like I was in shock and played along. Sasuke and jumped up and they threw their chains at us, we grabbed a kunai and blocked the attack. We then fell on each of their shoulders and pushed off making both of them fall. They then separated and one went after Naruto and the other after Sakura, who was protecting Tazuna. Sasuke blocked him while I went after the one who went for Naruto how got an injury in his hand. I did my hand signs.
"Crystal Style: Diamond Daggers!" I shouted. Two diamond daggers appeared and I blocked them.
"Tenshi…" Naruto mumbled in shock. I looked at him and smiled.
"I can't let my best friend/comrade get hurt, now can I?" I asked him. I then attack the ninja after pushing him away. I stabbed him in the shoulder and dad appeared and grabbed them.
"Sorry, Naruto, I didn't think you would freeze like that," dad said to him. He then looked at me and Sasuke. "Good job you two," dad said to us. That's when Sasuke looked at Naruto.
"You alright…scaredy cat?" Sasuke smirked. I looked at the ninja and dad gave me a nod. I did some hand signs.
"Earth Style: Rope Bind!" I shouted. Then the two ninjas where tied up against the tree. I grabbed my diamond dagger and went up to them shoving it close to ones throat. "Who sent you to kill us?" I asked, they didn't answer instead they glared. I looked at Tamotsu and he went up to the other and growled. "I suggest one of you talks. Or else, I shove my dagger in your throat and Tamotsu will rip your throat out…with his teeth," I threatened.
~Sasuke's POV~
I've never seen Tenshi act like that before, let alone heard her talk like that. All of us, aside from Sensei, were shocked. They started talking and told her everything and she looked at Tazuna glaring.
"Anything you'd like to tell us, Tazuna?" She asked him still glaring.
"W-what are you t-talking about?" He stuttered.
"How about the fact that this is really a B Ranked mission and you couldn't afford it. You put us in danger, nearly getting my team killed! A mafia doesn't want this bridge built so he sends shinobi after Tazuna to stop him, which puts us in danger!" Tenshi declared. Is this from what the ninja told her?
"H-how did you figure this out?" Tazuna asked.
"I knew from the beginning, actually I just had suspicions. Why would a bridge builder really need protecting? Unless someone didn't want this bridge to happen, someone very dangerous who has ninja at his disposal. Someone like Gatou, maybe?" She asked him. That's when Kakashi-Sensei stepped up.
"My daughter is very bright for her age, she even knows things that I don't, so lying to her would be pointless. She can be deadly when she wants to be," Kakashi-Sensei told him. Tazuna then sighed.
"What she says is true," Tazuna confirmed. I saw Tenshi shaking from anger, I went up to her and put a hand on her should causing her to look at me. I shook my head and she calmed down.
"We should head back to the village to get Naruto looked at," Kakashi-Sensei said. With that Naruto picked up a kunai and stabbed his hand.
"Naruto!" Tenshi gasped.
"Naruto, what are you doing?!" Sakura asked.
"I'll protect the old man, we're continuing the mission," Naruto smirked. Tenshi stepped up to Naruto with a small smile.
"Naruto, it's good that you're releasing the poison but…" then Kakashi-Sensei stepped up.
"Anymore and you'll die from lack of blood," Kakashi-Sensei finished. Yup, they're related alright. Naruto started freaking out and Tamotsu went up to Naruto and licked his hand causing it to heal. Then we were on our way to the bridge. I was sitting next to Tenshi on the boat and Naruto was sitting next to Sakura. That's when we saw the bridge.
"Wow! It's huge!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Be quiet! Why do you think we're hiding in the mist and not using an engine?" The boat driver asked him. "We'll be in deep trouble if Gatou finds out," he finished. We finished with the boat ride. That's when Tazuna started talking about Gatou.
"It was about a year ago when he set eyes on the wave country. Through the money and the violence, he quickly took control of the country's shipping industry," Tazuna said.
"So now, Gatou has a monopoly on all business traffic in the country. The only thing he has now is the fear of the completion of the bridge," Tenshi finished and Tazuna nodded.
"I see, since you building the bridge, you're in the way," Sakura said.
"So, those ninjas were hired by Gatou?" I asked. Naruto was confused and Tenshi nodded.
"But what I don't understand is…if you knew ninjas could be after you…why did you hide that fact when you hired us?" Kakashi-Sensei asked.
"The wave country is super poor. Even the Feudal Lord has no money. Of course, we don't have much money either, not enough for an expensive B Rank," he told us. He then told us we could quit but his ten year old grandson would cry for days trying to guilt trip us, it worked unfortunately. Later on, we were walk until Naruto through a shuriken at a bush. He was trying to act cool and we tried to lecture him, and Tazuna called him a moron. He ended up throwing another killing a rabbit. I suddenly sense something and tackled Tenshi to the ground to protect her just as Sakura did Naruto. That's when a new ninja appeared. I helped Tenshi up and she looked at the ninja.
"Well, well, if it isn't the hidden Mist's missing-Nin, Zabuza Momochi," she sneered. Naruto tried attacking but Kakashi-Sensei stopped him.
"Everyone, get back, this one's on a whole other level," Sensei told us. He then went for his forehead protector. "It will be a little tough…unless I do this," he finished.
"You appear to be Sharingan Kakashi…sorry but, the old man is mine," Zabuza said. Did he say the Sharingan? No way! That only belongs to the Uchiha clan.
"Surround and protect Tazuna, do not enter the fight, that's teamwork there. Zabuza first," he then moved his protector up to reveal his eye.
"Ah, I already get to see the famous Sharingan, I'm honored," Zabuza said.
"Fight me," Kakashi-Sensei ordered. Naruto asked about the Sharingan and I explained what it was and that's when Tenshi walked up.
"You're not fighting him alone, dad, I'm helping whether you like it or not," she said. Kakashi-Sensei looked at her and sighed knowing she won't back down. That's when Zabuza looked at her.
"Ah, the famous Copy Cat's daughter, the Silver Wolf," he called her. The 'Silver Wolf?'
"What's the Silver Wolf?" Naruto asked. I shrugged.
"That would be the young lady by her father," he then looked at her. "The young Mangetsu prodigy, the holder of the Ten Tailed Wolf, Jinroo, and the Kekkei Genkai, the Taiingan," he told us. We all, aside from Kakashi-Sensei and Tamotsu, looked at her shocked.
"She's a Jinjuriki?" Sakura asked. Tenshi nodded.
"I understand if you all hate me, but that will have to be for after the battle," she said to us. She then placed to fingers in front of her face and closed her eyes. "Taiingan!" she called out. She opened her eyes. The purple of her eyes made designs while blue was still there. It was beautiful. The Taiingan, the Lunar Eye. Zabuza jumped into the lake and then did a hidden mist Jutsu. This was going to be a long battle.
