Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9am in the jounin common room.
The group opened their eyes to see sunlight coming into the room through the window. Neji was the first one to get up and then rapidly fall down due to a half naked Tenten dragging him back under a blanket. The other couples and the singles were all watching this display but got dressed quickly in some of the gear that other Jounins left behind.
"Hey guys, who wants pancakes" came a yell from the kitchenette area as the Raijin blade made a flash.
"Did you clean your arm?" called Ino from the living room.
"Used a fire jutsu and sterilised the damn thing. Happy?" called back Naruto as he poked his head around the corner.
"Very, now give me pancakes." Said Ino as she and the others (Except Neji and Tenten) ran to the kitchenette and were stopped in their tracks by the sight.
Naruto had cooked piles upon piles of pancakes and was now covering them in syrup with several kage bunshins helping him.
"Now for the piece de l'resistance, U-zu-ma-ki Naruto Butter Rendan" yelled Naruto as he and his bunshins leapt into the air and sliced butter, which fell neatly onto every stack in the small area.
"My god, who taught him that" said Sasuke looking at Naruto weirdly
"Hurry up and eat people, I don't have to remind you that I only got you yesterday off. We have to see the Hokage for missions today" said Anko
"God sake, I've only had this arm 2 days and I'm already on a mission" said Naruto starting on his pile of pancakes.
"Calm down, you can still do jutsu's so be grateful" said Kurenai as she copied Naruto
The rest of meal was done in silence as they cleared up and got walked out of the room feeling refreshed and in Neji and Tenten's case, slightly horny because they couldn't finish their activities. All the ninja were in standard ninja gear except for Naruto because he couldn't fit his arm into the shirts. Instead, he used his Shukungan to change it into something a little more comfortable. He was wearing his forehead protector and a metal plate like a football helmet, except this was solid, which hooked to his shoulder armor. Speaking of armor, he wore standard ANBU armor on his left arm, chest and legs. His arms had no shirt on but he had a vest on and very large combat trousers that were baggy but not too long so he didn't trip. On his feet he wore black sandals. As far as accessories go, he was wearing a pair of Uni-glasses tinted silver (think glasses that go all the way across, like Renji from Bleach.) and he had bandages wrapped around his forearms. He also had a pair or black gloves with the back of the hand covered in metal but more metal than a normal glove and these gloves covered the whole hand and not just the palm.
"Naruto, why do you show off so much? You could have just ripped the sleeve off the gear and worn normal gear." Said Sakura
"I'm not a normal ninja, I'm a sannin" said Naruto grinning his ass off as Hinata blushed
"Come on, lets hurry so Tsunade doesn't bite our ears off too much" said Anko as she started using the Body Flicker Jutsu so that only Lee, Neji and Hinata could see her.
"Oh she wants a race" said Sasuke as he did the same jutsu and ran off after her.
The other left Naruto yelling about how he forgot how to do that jutsu and something and filthy scum balls.
The group were pleased with themselves as they managed to get rid of the loudmouth.
"He He, I haven't ditched somebody in years, and we did it to a Sannin" said Ino giggling
"Troublesome" muttered Shikamaru
"I agree Shikamaru" came voice from above them as a black figure leapt over them.
"Hey how the hell are you this fast Naruto!" yelled Anko
"Tell you later!" yelled Naruto as he sped off towards the Hokage tower and made it up to the office window from the outside before the others were within 100m of the place
"He is really full of surprises." Said Sasuke as he went ahead a bit and reached the tower a minute later.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 minutes later
The group had assembled in the Hokage office while Naruto was nursing a lump on his head that he wouldn't explain to anyone in the group.
"So, you are here to be given your mission assignments but I must also explain some things to you. We have stopped the school system and completely rewritten it. There is now only school up till the age of 8. Any attendee's either knows how to read and write, then they go to be an apprentice in a business in town or they attend the ninja academy and learn the ways of the ninja. They then train for 4 years until they are twelve then take the graduation exam, which is different to the one you had. After they graduate they are teamed into threes and given a Jounin instructor who will take these Pre-Genin for a test to see if they can become Genin. The test can be decided by the instructor and can be as harsh as you want but a word of advice, don't make it as harsh as Kakashi Hatake's exam. This should increase our ninja number quite rapidly and they can always promote through exams that have been agreed upon with the other ninja villages. Now I can give the Jounin a Genin group as they wish and these will be younger so they can be imprinted on more easily. And one last thing, all Jounin and some Chuunin are to be given they own ninja 'codenames' this will identify you but keep you secret in case other ninja intercept our communiqués" announced Tsunade as the ninja stared in wonder.
"So we get to train preteens until they get promoted to Chuunin and that includes them getting hormonal and possibly bitchy" said Shikamaru "So troublesome"
"YOU'RE A CHUUNIN!" yelled Ino
"Ow!" said Naruto rubbing his lump even more "High pitched noises hurt even more"
"Why have you even got that lump?" said Sakura looking at it carefully "It's a combusted blood vessel, basically a 3D bruise"
Tsunade then made several attempts to grab Naruto to no avail.
"I caught Tsunade looking at Jiraiya's Myspace. I think the title was 'I wanna screw Lady T hard'. 3 guesses who Lady T is and I saw her naked when she was 16" said Naruto while dodging various projectiles being thrown at a fierce velocity.
All the men were cracking up while Naruto was running on all 6 surfaces trying to avoid the projectiles. He eventually got nailed between the eyes by a hole puncher.
"SHUT UP NARUTO!" yelled Tsunade
"Fine, but no more hole punchers" said Naruto as he took a seat along with the others
"Now, your codenames. Sakura is Blossom ,Shikamaru is Wizkid, Neji is Prodigy, Hinata is Untouchable, Sasuke is Mirror, Chouji is Butterball, Ino is Confusion, Tenten is Perfect, Lee is Senpuu, Shino is Sting and….ooohh…..very nice…Naruto is Ikazuchi." Said Tsunade
"YOU WHAT!" boomed out Ikazuchi from Naruto's arm
"Oh yes, I forgot about him" said Tsunade
"DAMN RIGHT!"
"Calm down Ika, or I won't release you" said Naruto calmly
"You wouldn't dare"
"You want to try me, Big Bird"
That last comment made Ikazuchi screech as he withdrew to his life room.
"Now that we have that sorted, lets delegate the missions" said Tsunade "Sasuke, Shikamaru and Tenten are to go to the Wind Country and receive a message from the Kazekage and bring it to me. There could be enemy ninja on this mission so it is ranked at B but that could increase to A if there are any ninja over Chuunin level. Sakura and Ino are to go the hospital and continue their duties. Shino, Hinata and Lee are to get a group of thugs out of a town north of Konoha, this is ranked at a C. Neji, Chouji, Anko and Kurenai are to retrieve a scroll that was recently stolen from Teuchi Ichiraku, it contains his best ramen recipe so it is important and is ranked at a C."
"What about me?" asked Naruto "I want to try my arm out"
"You have a very special mission, a lot of tension has been going on between us and the Rock Village with them saying we are in the wrong by taking Konoha. You are going to show how strong Konoha is even after we were invaded. So your mission is to take out at least 15,000 ninjas and civilians, this is S-Ranked and you may choose 5 people to accompany you. Who do you choose" asked Tsunade
"Hmmm….I know who I would like but I'm not sure if their still alive." Said Naruto
"I think I know who you mean, ICEMAN, ALCHEMIST, FORTUNA!" yelled Tsunade
3 figures appeared and Naruto got up and pounded it with each of them. The others looked slightly confused until Naruto said their names.
"Koria, Nuzu, Damagi, its so good to see you" said Naruto as the figures showed their faces to group while rubbing their wrists.
"Kazama-Dono, good to see you again. But next time you pound it, USE YOUR FLAMING LEFT HAND!" yelled Nuzu cradling his wrist
"Oops, sorry about that. But I did kill a kage so I think I'm entitled to a new metal arm." Said Naruto pulling his sleeve up to show his metal arm. Nuzu's eyes opened as he saw the metal and he immediately admired the design.
"Now you still have 2 places on your mission, who else?"
"Kakashi, and is Yakaramitsu still around?" asked Naruto
"Umm… I'm sorry but Yakaramitsu died on his first C-Rank mission."
"Ok, I'll take Gai with me, his Taijutsu skills will help a lot" said Naruto
"Ok, I'll just get Gai so you can leave. You leave at 3pm" said Tsunade as she shooed the whole group out.
"She's on a dirty site you know" said Nuzu
"Nope, thanks anyway though," said Naruto knowing what Nuzu was doing
"Ok guys, who wants ramen, I haven't had Ichiraku Ramen in years!" yelled Naruto as he dived out of the window and headed straight for the Ramen Stand while being followed by his team of Kakashi and the ANBU.
"HEY OJI-SAN! I WANT RAMEN!" yelled Naruto taking a seat
"Naruto! Man you've grown. It's been, what, 7 or 8 years since I last saw you. What will you have?" asked Teuchi
"5 of everything. Give my team mates what they want and put it on my bill" said Naruto
"2 pork ramen please" said Kakashi
"We'll have 3 Miso Ramen please," said Koria
"Coming right up" said Teuchi "And Naruto, I appreciate it if people take their gloves off when they eat here. You should know that by now."
"Sorry Oji-san but this might freak you out slightly," said Naruto as he pulled off his gloves to reveal his metal hand "I need to use stronger than normal chopsticks please, I'll just break any other ones"
"Ok, Naruto" said Teuchi shakily as he brought up a box of reinforced wooden chopsticks and gave a set to Naruto.
"Thanks"
"Ayame! Is the ramen ready?" called Teuchi
"Ready dad" said Ayame as she threw (yes threw) the bowls out to the seats so they landed perfectly in front of the ninja.
"You could have been a better ninja than Tenten with aim like that," said Kakashi
"HAHAHAHA SCARECROW, ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF MY DEAR STUDENTS!" came a yell from behind them.
'Please don't be wearing the Speedo' thought Kakashi desperately trying to forget the whole 'beach butchness' contest. There stood Gai Maito in his usual green jumpsuit and Jounin vest.
"Sorry Gai, but Ayame has a very good shot," said Kakashi showing Gai the unspoilt ramen.
"How many have you got?" asked Gai
"2 Pork ramen, why?"
"I'll have 3 pork ramen!" called Gai into the ramen stand
"Jeez, we're team mates and he still wants to compete," muttered Kakashi as he strained the noodles of ramen through his mask.
"I BEAT YOU KAKASHI MY RIVAL!" yelled Gai as he slammed down his third bowl of ramen
Naruto just stared in disbelief at the eating machine beside him.
"Ok everyone, lets go to the dango shop to finish this business and plan tactics, I trust Kakashi can draw me a map of the Stone Country from Sharingan Memory." Said Naruto
"Lets go," said Koria who was obviously getting excited at the thought of free dango
"HEY NARUTO! You need to pay!" yelled Teuchi to which Naruto strapped the money to a kunai and threw it into the tab board, breaking the chalk in two.
"Shut up Ojisan!" yelled Naruto
The group proceeded to the dango shop and sat down discussing tactics until 2:45pm
"So, we are agreed, I will infiltrate the city with Nuzu and Damagi while Kakashi leads Gai and Koria into a distraction technique luring them into my wake. I can have my summons take us there so we will begin the attack tonight. Does everyone have a battle plan?" asked Naruto
"Yes I think we do, the ANBU will use their Kekkai Genkais in battle, I will use the Sharingan and Gai can open a few gates if he can handle it" said Kakashi
"Ok, lets go to the rendezvous point (AKA the Gates) and I'll summon us some Kohai" said Naruto as he leapt up and ran out of the door.
"How can he do that with his ass asleep, he cant be human if his ass isn't asleep after 5 hours sitting down." Said Nuzu rubbing his butt where his muscles had flattened to fit the seat he was sitting on.
"Lets just go" said the others as they ran off.
They approached the gates and saw that Naruto had summoned Rokuna and Shinima who looked very pissed off.
"Why did you interrupt our dinner for this?" said Shinima
"Oh shut up we're on an S-rank mission so we need transport, you guys are the fastest summons Konoha has." Said Naruto
"Hey Kazama-Dono, why did you summon 2?" called Koria
"We split into threes and take one for each group. Me, Nuzu and Damagi will take Rokuna and lead the assault while Gai, Kakashi and Koria lure them into various places around the city while riding Shinima." Said Naruto
"Yes sir!" said the group as they boarded their Kohai
"Lets go kick some ass!" yelled Naruto as he charged out the gates followed by Shinima with the other 3.

A/N: Now's the time the rock village has its ass seriously kicked. I hope you liked the group I picked and the codenames. Enjoy and review this chapter. I hope I didn't make you wait as long for this one and I'll try and have another one up by Sunday.
