Chapter 11
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto looked up at the figure above him while she blushed slightly.
"Come here, its been ages since we were alone together" said Naruto gesturing for her to sit down next to him.
"Sorry Naruto-kun but our teams are being sent on a mission together." Said Hinata as the Genin group behind her just groaned. "We have to see the Hokage now so she can give us the details"
"Fine." Said Naruto getting up (May I remind you that he is wearing over 200lb of armor plus the gravity weights so imagine how hard it must be)
"What level are your team on miss?" asked Atama cockily
"And who would you be?" asked Hinata
"I am Atamagaokishii! And I want to eat all the udon in the world!" yelled Atama
"Can you guess who I am?" asked Hinata
"Umm…Lets see, long hair, white eyes, doesn't talk much." Said Atama thoughtfully "Are you Neji Hyuuga?"
Naruto's eyes popped out of their sockets as he snorted in laughter. Even the other Genin and Hinata laughed a little but Atama didn't see why.
"Why the hell are you laughing? He is Neji Hyuuga," said Atama innocently
"Hey, want to know a way to show who I really am?" asked Hinata
"Yeah, prove to these guys you are Neji"
With that Hinata unzipped the Jounin vest that she was wearing as Atama's eyes popped out of their sockets this time.
"EXTRA-LARGE!" yelled Atama running after Hinata "ITS HINATA HYUUGA!"
Naruto then saw red and threw a senbon into a pressure point on Atama's neck, which made him fall unconscious.
"Rule Number One: Never Take Another Guy's Girlfriend" said Naruto venomously
The others could all feel the killing intent that he was letting off as he walked over to the sleeping loudmouth and picked him up with one arm while slinging him over his shoulder.
"This guy is heavy, I never thought you could gain this much weight from udon." Said Naruto "I know!"
Naruto bit his thumb and formed a few seals before a fox the size of a horse but about 5 feet wider appeared in a puff of smoke.
"Hey Shinima, take us to the Hokage tower to see Granny." Said Naruto to the fox
"Put the little fuckers on then," said Shinima as he knelt down so they could board him.
"No swearing in front of the minors, they are only 12 remember," said Naruto as he put Atama on Shinima's back while the other Genin climbed on. "Want a ride Hinata?"
"Sure, Naruto-kun" said Hinata as she climbed onto Shinima while Naruto grabbed her ass silently which made Hinata squeak with surprise.
"Lets go Shini, I'll race you there" said Naruto as he let his gravity seals loose and got ready to run
"You're on!" yelled Shinima as he took off running at speeds that made the Genin and Hinata's eyes water.
"Hey you cheater!" yelled Naruto as he took off after him.
-------------------------------------------------------------
In The Hokage Tower
Tsunade was enjoying a warm bottle of Sake and was talking to it.
"What's that, you want me to drink you? I'm only too happy to oblige," said Tsunade to the saucer of liquid when she saw a few ripples appear in the depths of it.
"Please say he hasn't caught that thing yet, it took 3 ANBU squads half a day to get him last time…" muttered Tsunade
Her moans were interrupted when a loud knocking came from the door as if someone was hammering several nails into it. The door suddenly caved in as the fox and Naruto ran in panting for breath.
"Beat you Shinima, you owe me a ride now whenever I want it." Said Naruto as the fox poofed away with a howl leaving the Genin and Hinata fallen on the floor.
Tsunade looked at the small group before groaning about having to buy a new door.
"Alright people, now that you've wrecked my office door, I can give you your damn mission." Said Tsunade rubbing her temples "Naruto, you should enjoy this one, you are going to the Wave Country to protect a man called Tazuna while he goes to the Lightning Country to get some supplies and tools that are specially crafted there."
Naruto looked up at Tsunade as soon as he heard Tazuna's name.
"You mean I have to protect that good for nothing drunk AGAIN!" said Naruto angrily
"Oh shut up and get moving. This is ranked at a B-Rank because of the chance that you will encounter enemy ninja of Chuunin level and above. I'm only giving you one this high because all our other ninja are out and we need a sucker 'AHEM' volunteer to show these Genin what a real mission is like." Said Tsunade "Now clear off and take Hinata's group with you."
Naruto pouted while Hinata blushed and the others all laughed.
"Come on Team, we're going to the Wave. Go home, get enough equipment for a 2 week trip and say bye to your folks." Said Naruto to his team after he had slapped Atama, waking him up and forcing the trio to leave. "Hinata, you can share my stuff so you're ok. Who's in your team?"
"Umm…" Said Hinata looking at the door as three Genin walked in with smirks on their faces.
"Hey boss-lady, what are you doing with the number jerk pad in the village?" said one of the male members of the team.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A JERK PAD!" yelled Naruto as he ran at the said boy and started throttling him
"Let him go Kitsune-Kun, he's just aggravated that he has to listen to a man for once" said Hinata gently pulling on his hands.
"Fine…." Said Naruto as he released the boy and let him drop to the floor.
"Now then guys. Kiro, Adatsu, Kolan. What have you learnt about aggravating my boyfriend?" asked Hinata
"Don't annoy the jerk pad," chanted the team in chorus
Naruto had steam coming out his ears but still kept sane despite their prodding.
"Alright guys, go home and get enough gear for a 2 week escort mission. This is B-Ranked so be sure to cram a few helpful Jutsu and bring some advanced equipment." Said Hinata
"Yes, boss-lady" said the trio as they walked out.
"My god, they are so well behaved… You're good." Said Naruto
"Not really, I just threaten them with Jyuuken" said Hinata smiling sheepishly
"Oh man…" said Naruto
------------------------------------------------------------------
Later At The Gates
"Ok people, time for introductions on the way. Lets set out and kick some ass." Said Naruto as he marched out of the gate followed by a hyper Atama and several sweat dropping Genin.
The team started running along the tree branches in a tight pack with Naruto and Hinata at the front with the Byakugan and Shukungan active, Kiro and Kolan were at the back listening for any following ninja and killing intents. Adatsu and Aijou were in the centre and conserving their energy in case anyone needed healing. Finally, Atama and Kunou were on the left and right monitoring their respective sides.
The troop carried on until they reached the Wave Country via The Great Naruto Bridge.
"Hey, where this Tazuna guy we have to escort now?" asked Kunou
"He lives in a house in the centre of town. He is one lazy SOB who bosses everyone around and was too cheap to pay for the proper rank of mission." Said Naruto angrily
They carried on walking through the city and avoiding the few trouble spots that still existed.
They soon reached the house and were greeted by a fairly young woman and a teenager who came running at the group yelling something about "YOU TOOK YOUR TIME!"
"Shut up Inari!" yelled Naruto as he clotheslined the poor guy and threw to him to the floor while the others just watched at the speed that Naruto used to do that move. (For those that don't know, a clothesline is when someone is running past you and you stick your arm out to hit their throat.)
"That was mean Sensei, he's only about 3 years older than us." Said Aijou
"Don't worry, he'll live." Said Naruto not looking back "Hey Tsunami, How's the old man"
The young woman looked at him smiling and replied "He's just getting some spare clothes and he'll be ready to leave"
"Ok teams, you have a few minutes to rest and then we're going on the remainder of this trip. It's about a week to the Lightning Country and then we have one week to get back." Said Hinata
"Yes Sensei" said the Genin
"Oh it's you I got for this mission then!" came a voice from the doorway
An old man with a weird hat and a bottle of sake walked out of the door with a large backpack on.
"Tazuna, you took your sweet time" said Naruto
"Keep it zipped you impatient brat, I'm not as able bodied as I was when we last met." Said Tazuna
"Lets just get going or it might take us even longer to get to the Lightning Country" said Naruto
"Fine, lets get our asses moving" said Kiro
The teams all stopped talking and started walking towards the north where the Lightning Country was.
"Are we there yet?" asked Adatsu
'This is going to be a long trip' thought Naruto
------------------------------------------------------------
A Few Hours Later, just as the sun was about to set
"Are we there yet?" asked Adatsu for the 2859th time in the space of less than a day
"FOR THE FINAL TIME, WE'RE STOPPING HERE FOR THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!" yelled Naruto
"Ok" said Adatsu sweetly (Adatsu is the Kunoichi BTW)
"Finally" said Kunou and Atama
"Now I hope everyone's got a tent except for Hinata because she is sharing with me" said Naruto
"Ummm……"said Atama, Adatsu and Kolan
"For god sake….." said Naruto pinching the bridge of his nose. "Alright, Adatsu and Aijou share. Same goes with Kunou and Atama as well as Kolan and Kiro. Any objections?"
There were none luckily. All that happened was that Atama put his hand up and asked "What's for dinner today?"
"I always pack several scrolls filled with cup ramen." Said Naruto drawing the scroll
He opened the scroll and let a little chakra into it. 9 cups of steaming ramen were now sitting it amidst a cloud of smoke.
"Nice…How did you make it hot?" asked Atama as he chowed down on his cup of ramen.
"Easy, I just packed it with some Kage Bunshin while it was hot." Said Naruto "Oh yeah, KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!"
A dozen Kage Bunshin appeared around Naruto and they all started getting to work on the tents and make it 'habitable'.
They were soon done as the ninja and Tazuna ate their ramen. They had put the tents into a circle with a fire in the middle and a few logs for seats around the fire.
The ninja were soon seated on the logs and discussing the tactics.
"Alright, me and Hinata will take turns on night watch. I will go until 2AM then Hinata will go until dawn." Said Naruto "Now get some sleep guys because we might have enemy ninja after us later on"
"Fine Gooch-Sensei" said Atama as he and Kunou went into their tent.
"Konbanwa Kitsune-Kun" said Hinata sexily as she walked into her tent and switched on her light.
"What the hell…" said Naruto watching this as the others all walked into their tents
His question was soon answered as Hinata slowly started stripping inside the tent. Naruto glued his eyes on the side of the tent that was illuminated. She slowly took off the pieces of her clothing so he could see every curve on her body. Naruto's gaze was suddenly disturbed when she poked her body out slightly so Naruto could see everything while she made no way of hiding herself.
"Goodnight Naruto, I'll see you tomorrow." Said Hinata as she shut the tent gap and turned the light off.
"Damn it, I'm left with a hard on and I've got no chance of relief until later." Moaned Naruto "She's Evil"
He laid back for a few minutes listening to the sounds of the night. All he heard was the sounds of the females giggling and the boys playing Knuckle Poker (Lose a round and you get 5 hits to the knuckles).
----------------------------------------------------
An Hour Later
The entire group was asleep except for Naruto and the night was quiet except for the occasional crackle of the fire.
Naruto was slowly drifting off to sleep until a voice brought him back to reality.
"Hey, a few Genin and a sexy lady alone in the forest, we've hit the jackpot Kakuzu" came one voice
"Shut up you bible-basher" said another voice, which seemed to be Kakuzu
"HEY BASTARDS, YOU WANT A FIGHT COME GET ONE!" yelled Naruto leaping up and looking at the direction the voices came from.
When the figures came into view, he saw that it was a pair of men around 35 years old and were wearing a black cloak with red clouds patterned on it. They were wearing a ring each with a kanji on each. One was wearing a mask as well as a forehead protector that Naruto didn't recognise and the other was carrying a large tri-bladed halberd on his back.
"Hey, we have one awake, let's finish this guy before we enjoy that girl Kakuzu" said the unnamed voice
"Fine Hidan, Just finish up quickly but if you want then we can assume he's worth some money in the Bingo Book." Said Kakuzu
"You're going to wish you kept quiet now aren't you" said Hidan with an evil grin on.
-------------------------------------------------------
Back In Konoha
Tsunade was doing a pile of paperwork that stretched several feet into the air when one of her more experienced Jounin came bursting in yelling like a crazy person.
"Slow down, Slow down, what's up?" asked Tsunade
"Sannin……Hyuuga………AKATSUKI!" yelled the jounin before collapsing from exhaustion
"Oh shit…." Was all Tsunade said before yelling "SHIZUNE!"
The said Jounin came running to the room almost immediately.
"What is it Tsunade-Sama?" asked Shizune
"We have a major problem, I need to get access to the Sandaime's crystal ball network to send a message to all allied-nin in the Lightning Country area." Said Tsunade "I need you to get the damn thing up her QUICKLY!"
"Ok Tsunade-Sama!" said Shizune as she ran out of the door with Ton-Ton on her heels.
Shizune didn't take long and came back with a crystal ball and a small computer monitor attached to it.
"Ok, you know how to work it yes?" said Shizune
"Of course" said Tsunade as she placed both of her hands on the crystal ball and concentrated
Tsunade stayed like that for a few minutes until she opened her eyes and took her hands away from the ball. She then ran out of the room like a bat out of hell and ran down the corridor screaming "GET ME THAT PERVERTED ASSHOLE NOW!"
Shizune was about to follow her when a small beep came from the computer monitor and she stayed to look at the screen.
It said "The Following Message Was Sent To All Shinobi That Are Allied With Konoha: THIS IS A CLASS X RANK SOS CALL. WE HAVE 8 NINJA IN THE FIELD THAT ARE UNDER THREAT BY 2 MEMBERS FROM THE S-RANK CRIMINAL ORGANISATION, AKATSUKI. CAN ALL AVAILABLE NINJA KILL, DESTROY OR ELIMINATE THE AKATSUKI MEMBERS AND RETRIEVE WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THE NINJA. THEY CAN BE IDENTIFIED THROUGH A METALLIC ARM AND THE BYAKUGAN. I REPEAT THIS IS X RANK AND WILL BE PAID FOR AS SUCH."
"I hope you know what you're doing Tsunade-Sama" said Shizune quietly as she ran out the room to follow Tsunade.
