"Hello there" speaking

'Hello nice to meet you kit" Kyuubi speaking.

Chapter 7: His Confusion and Uncertainties.

Naruto sat at the edge of the bridge with his feet dipped into the water. He just stared at his reflection and began to think. He knew he was worrying his teammates but right now he just didn't seem to care anymore. It was a hot day outside with chill winds from last night's diminutive storm. He just stared at his reflection as his mind replayed last nights dreams...

We hate you Naruto! You Killed Us! You stupid brat! You will never take my position as Hokage!

How could you not even fulfill a simple mission? I know you not a genius like me. But I never would have thought you would have been as lazy as me as well.

I hate you Naruto. You watched As Itachi Killed me! And you did nothing to help! You weren't even there. You're so dumb and stupid! No wonder I hated you when we were kids. You couldn't even retrieve Sasuke for me even when you promised! He had to come back on his own. You disgusting little demon!

I wish you were never my student! It was a good thing I taught Sasuke the chodori and not you! At least with that move he managed to same some lives!

I hate you. You killed my parents when I was little! I should have hated you like the rest of the villagers. You watched while a sound-nin killed me. And helped only when it was too late. At least Kakashi did something to protect me! You just stood there in shock. I hate you! You disgust me!

You are weak. I should have killed you in the valley of the end. I can't believe you said you loved me. If you loved me you would have protected me. You are just like my brother Itachi. I don't love you. I pity you. I. Hate. You. It's a good thing that I am still alive.

Because if I had to rely on you I would already be dead.

All of his precious people told him these things in his dreams. Blaming him that he killed them because he did not protect them. And he believed every word of it. He sucked all the information and accusations in like a sponge.

And when he woke up that morning to see Sasuke worried face asking him what was wrong and if he was ok. Naruto cried. He cried knowing that he did not deserve that kindness. That he did not deserve that love and worry that showed itself in Sasuke's eyes. And for the entire morning he cried in Sasuke's arms and told him nothing. Only stating it was a bad dream when his tears were gone.

But he had to brighten up. Not only did the dream make him sad but made the team uneasy as well. He needed to put on a bright face on for them. He never really realized that he was the one who supplied Team Seven with their energy until now. So with a smile back on place he got up and put on his shoes only to be surprised that Kakashi was already there silently reading his perverted book.

Naruto lifted up a brow in confusion. Why was everyone just standing there?

Kakashi looked up from his book to see that Naruto came out of his musings.

"I'm glad you finally came out of your deep thoughts" Kakashi said with a sigh.

"Then why didn't you say anything when you came?" he asked confused.

"Well if you didn't realize the team is in a downcast mood when you are sad. And for some reason does not carry out as efficiently as when you are happy." He drawled.

Sakura just hmphed but did not say anything to deny or prove the statement. "What's wrong with you anyway" he said trying to sound bothered although in trust she was really worried although she already claimed him as her rival.

Naruto just looked at her and grinned. "Ohh… I don't know. I was just thinking about how many pleasures spots Sasuke has on his body" Naruto said with a wave of his hand.

Kakashi just grinned while Sakura growled.

"What. Did. You. Just. Say…" she growled.

"Yes There's about seven of them, I think" Naruto said more to himself then to the others.

Sakura growled more while Kakashi looked confused. 'He was just teasing her right?' he thought and got even more confused when he looked at Sasuke's face as a light blush covered his cheeks.

"Sasuke-kun" she purred trying to sound loving. "Why aren't you hitting Naruto? He's saying nasty rumors about you. Tell him to stop" she begged.

"Naruto stop with the foolishness. You're such a moron" Sasuke said trying to sound indifferent to it all.

"That's not what you said last night when you bit your lip so hard it began to bleed because you refused to scream my name to the heavens from pleasure." Naruto said grinning.

And sure enough as Kakashi and Sakura looked at Sasuke velvet lip just to amuse themselves there were two small cuts on each side of his lip as if a pair of canines bit them.

Kakashi and Sakura both gasped lightly from shock.

Seeing Sakuras blood about to boil Kakashi decided to end this quick…

"Actually you guys we were suppose to meet the Hokage in his office five minutes ago…………" (Sigh)

"WHATTTTT!" Naruto shouted before doing the necessary seals and grabbing Sasuke's and Sakura's hand and left in a whirl of mist. Kakashi just sighed before also disappearing in a whirl of leaves.

(Um...I decided that Naruto should make a big entrance in a whirl of mist instead of a whirl of leaves since Kakashi already has that one. And since Naruto has wind element)

At the front of the Hokage's Building…

"Exactly how do you do that again?" Sasuke said scowling.

"Yeah Naruto I only see Jounin do that… Who did you learn that from? And next time can you give us a bit of a warning! Jeez!" She squealed.

"I tell ya what. When you give me a kiss Sakura, I'll teach you the jutsu. How does that sound?" Naruto asked. Sasuke glared at him. 'Your mine! Damn it! You can't just flirt with others!' he thought seething.

"I would never! You'd have to kill me first" she said with her head held high. She trotted off into the Hokage's building.

"So what about me, don't I get your offer as well?" Sasuke said with distaste.

"Nope!" he said happily. "Besides why would I want a kiss from you? You're so aghast while she's so pink and pretty! And Girly and stuff." He said happily and bounces into the building after Sakura. Sasuke followed him livid with jealously and anger.

When they reached the Hokage's door they already saw Kakashi standing there with his perverted book at hand.

Naruto just waltzed in there not even bothering to knock at the door. The other three just followed shaking there head in disappointment for not even giving the Hokage any respect.

"Hey old man! Were here give us our mission and make it a good one!" Naruto said grinning.

'Hokage-sama…… I missed you……'

A vein throbbed in The Hokage's head before he sighed and grinned at him.

(AN: A list of the Hokage's names from the 2nd to the fifth would be much appreciated! I'm confused which Hokage was living when Naruto was 12 and which one us supposedly suppose to be his father? If you wrote you answer in the review it would be really appreciated. Thanks)

"Hello to you to Naruto. Kakashi has told me about wanting a C- class mission. What do you guys think?"

"Of course we do! Our missions are pointless now a days!"

Sasuke nodded his head in agreement.

"Yeah, Naruto's right. But of course it's up to you if you feel if you're not ready to give us one Hokage-sama." She said trying to be polite.

'Suck up' Naruto thought.

"Yes Hokage-sama. We need to have a C-class mission. I need to see how I can use my skill outside on a real mission. Sasuke needs to tone down his attitude a bit. He thinks he can do anything. This mission might allow him to see he cannot do anything and everything, At least not by himself. And as for Sakura she needs to stop her lusting for Sasuke and realize she can be an amazing shin-obi for she has great chakra control. This mission might also help her to realize this." Naruto finished.

Everyone was quiet. Sasuke and Sakura glared at him while Kakashi and The Hokage were quiet impressed with his speech. After a moment The Hokage spoke.

"Very interesting Naruto. Kakashi basically told me the same thing about team seven this morning." He said. Naruto grinned sheepishly.

" But Kakashi also told me something else… do you know what he told me?" he asked carefully.

Naruto's grin slowly left his face. Sasuke and Sakura saw his face and looked and him in confusion.

"Kakashi told me that Naruto also needs a higher mission because he is hiding many secrets from him and his teammates. He feels the only way these secrets get out is unless you slip up and show them." He said.

Naruto paled. "Yeah… Is that all he told you?"

"Unfortunately, yes. He has also told me that he could not tell me anymore because he was sworn to secrecy and the penalty was death." he said calmly.

"…"

"So I'll just guess that you know nothing of what he is talking about correct?"

"No sir. He is trying to black mail me to tell my friends about the Kyuubi no Kitsune because I found out a secret of his…" Naruto said.

"Wait a damn minute! You're lying and you know it! Naruto Tell the truth!" Kakashi screamed appalled that Naruto would lie on him.

Naruto ignored him. "He is trying to blackmail me because I found out what he has hidden inside the small room in his house that is heavily sealed…"

"Besides" he added for good measures… "Who are you going to believe…? Hatake Kakashi, the most cunning ninja besides yourself or me the little blue eyed boy who everyone hates…"

Kakashi could not believe his ears, Naruto, the boy who cried in his living room was now black mailing him. How he figured out what was behind that door in his house he would never know. After all Naruto was right. It was heavily sealed. There were too many complicated seals for him to undo then redo without him knowing.

Kakashi glared at him. For the first time in his life he truly could say he had been fooled.

"Kakashi is this true?" the Hokage asked slowly.

"Of course it is." Naruto answered for him. "After all the Kyuubi did kill most of his loved ones…"

Kakashi charged at him ready to hurt the boy but Naruto disappeared only to reappear behind him with a kunai at his throat. Kakashi stood still.

Sasuke and Sakura gasped at what they saw.

"Uzumaki Naruto that is enough!" The Hokage screamed.

Naruto lingered there a little longer to whisper to Kakashi's back "I'm sorry Kakashi sensei. Please forgive me…" and removed the kunai from his teachers throat.

"Enough of this. I have no time for it. Today you will get a c-class mission. You job it to take the client to the mist country safely. He is a bridge builder and is a very important man. After you meet him you will gather the necessary items for the trip and head over to the main gate to head off. I will bring him in now…" and as the Hokage said this a secretary and the bridge builder came into the office.

"Hello Tazuna-san. These are the three ninja's you hired and will be protecting you from here on out."

Naruto grinned at him before saying "Hey Tazuna-san! I'll be protecting you cause someday I'll be future Hokage!"

Tazuna just looked at him before rolling his eyes.

"Pffh. So these are my protectors. There just a bunch of brats. I asked for real ninja not these children. I need Jounin. Like the copy-cat ninja. And look at that small one over there. The short one over there with the stupid grin on his face. Is he even a ninja?" he asked

Naruto grin dropped off his face to be replaced by a scowl. "Who is he talking about?"

"He's talking about you, Naruto no baka! You are the shortest one out of all of us." Sakura exclaimed with a roll of the eyes.

"Huh! I'll kill you!" he screamed and ran towards the bridge builder.

Kakashi grabbed the back of Naruto's jacket so he could stop him.

"What the point of killing the person were suppose to protect! Idiot!" Kakashi scolded.

"I am the super expert Bridge builder Tazuna. I expect you to provide me super protection until I get back to my country and complete my bridge" he exclaimed.

(No lie. These are the exact words the bridge builder told them in the manga. Volume two chapter 2 page 10 of the manga Naruto. Remember Most of the work and jutsu in this fiction will be real. Almost as the same from the maker of Naruto himself. Masashi Kishimoto is a god.)

Time Skip… (20 minutes later)

Naruto and the gang began to walk to the far edge of the forest. It was a beautiful day outside and nothing seemed to go wrong. Until of course Kakashi and Naruto noticed a little puddle as they worked further into the forest.

"Um… Kakashi-sensei there's a pud-

"Don't worry about it Naruto I already know." Kakashi said cutting Naruto off.

Naruto just gave him an odd look before realizing or more like remembering what would happen next.

'Ha! Time to kick some ass! No wait… Sasuke was the one who fought those men before. I should let him do this… Besides, he needs this. He needs to feel that he is strong…

'Your right kit. This time don't but in….. You're actually growing up.kukuku'

So this time when the whole ordeal went through Naruto stood in front of the bridge builder and tried to protect him. He just sighed as he watched Kakashi and Sasuke do all the work. But even the dumbest of dumbest people did not need to tell him that Sasuke had to do this as he did so in the past.

Time travel is a strange thing he thought. He realized that if Naruto defeated all these men then Sasuke would feel weak and useless. And if he felt that he would either work himself to death or find other ways to get even more powerful. And Naruto didn't want a repeat of that. He very well knew the last time Sasuke felt weak against Naruto, he went to Orochimaru for power.

And before he even realized it the battle was over and Kakashi was busy tying up the attackers.

"You're such a scardy cat Naruto. You didn't even do anything. Kakashi-sensei and I did all the work." Sasuke said smirking. Naruto scowled but did not taunt back

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Continuation.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CONTINUATION-

"Naruto save it for later the claws and kunai these chunnin from the hidden mist used is filled with poison. Try not to move too much…"Kakashi said.

Naruto just nodded in understanding before taking his kunai out and stabbing his hand where the poison was. Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura and Tazuna just stared at him in shock.

"Problem solved." He replied simply. Then he ripped a piece of cloth on his jacket and tied it around his hand. He didn't need the cloth but he still did it for his teammate's sake of minds.

"Don't worry about me. I heal very quickly ne, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto just gave Kakashi a look that told him not to worry.

"Alright Naruto if you say so… Now back to you guys" he said motioning to the chunnin that were tied to the tree.

"I'm guessing that you were after the bridge builder."

"How did you read our movements" the chunnin asked.

"Oh, please I could have killed you instantly. All of a sudden I see a puddle on the ground especially when it hasn't rained for days. It's not possible. Even little Naruto noticed that ninja were hiding in the puddle. Good work Naruto. I did not know you were actually paying attention to your surroundings. Also good work Sasuke and Saukra."…

Like a super duper major time skip………………

Team seven walked out onto the platform and looked out to see the mist country for the first time. Well… first time for a couple of them…

"Lead the way Tazuna-san." Kakashi said with a motion of his hand.

They walked for about 2 hours without any trouble. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Kakashi had his nose in his little orange book, Naruto was openly flirting with Sakura, Sasuke was seething with jealously, and of course Sakura with a blush on her face trying to ignore Naruto.

Every thing was going alone fine until they walked up to a beautiful lake…

"Sakura-chan my god any guy would go for you. Your have the greatest body I have ever seen and you're smart! I'm glad were partners." Naruto said grinning at her. Sakura blushed before glaring at him. "Oh be quiet Naruto. Flattery will get you nowhere." She grumbled.

"Not even a date with you?"

"Don't even think-

"Everyone duck!" Naruto yelled.

And everyone did so just in time to see a whirl weapon flying right where there heads would have been…

Suddenly mist covered the area making it almost impossible to see. The temperature went 10 degrees lower.

"Neck. Heart. Chest. Lungs. Head, and lets not forget the stomach." A low smooth voice called out. Unfortunately no one could figure out where this voice was. All they could feel was the killing intent that was almost suffocating.

Kakashi quickly lifted up his head band to show his Sharingan eye.

"Where should I strike you first so it can lead to your death" the voice said than laughed.

MAJOR TIME Skip (ha! You guys must hate me right now. I did this for a reason, and not because I'm lazy. I skip these parts so I can use them for flashbacks in later chapters. So tonight dream about what cool techniques Naruto used. Also dream about if he used techniques he wasn't even suppose to know at this age.)

"Kakashi! Naruto! Sasuke what should we do! Kakashi and Naruto fainted!" Sakura screamed.

"I can see that Sakura…" Sasuke said in a calm voice. But in reality he was still shaken up. Actually if you looked at him closely you could tell he was still shaken up. The things that he just saw were not meant to be seen. He just could not believe what Naruto just did. Was it even possible for Naruto to become that strong.

To saw Sasuke was scared was an understatement. First he was scared because he really thought he was going to be killed by Zabuza then he was scared shitless because he feared the love of his life was about to die.

He knew his heart stopped beating when Naruto laid on the ground emotionless. His heart only began to pound again when he saw that Naruto got back up a few minutes later…

"Alright listen up. I will carry Naruto, Tazuna-san, see if you can handle carrying Kakashi-sensei and Sakura handle all of our bags. Tazuna lead the way to your house…"

AN: OK so this really is the end of the chapter. I know I promised I would give you the eigth chapter with the seventh chapter but I have and English test tomorrow. So you'll probably find the eigth chapter October 5th or 6th. Thank you and review.
