So here it is, Wanna Fight, Dobe? Chapter 7. Hopefully this one will be more exciting than the last. 3 Oo, and longer. J
----------
"This is Sasuke, arrived at point B."
"This is Sakura, arrived at point C."
There was a long dramatic pause, before a tired sounding voice called in:
"This is Naruto, arrived at point A."
"...You're slow, Naruto." Kakashi said, over the walkie-talkie to the yellow haired ninja. Before Naruto could protest, Kakashi continued. "Okay, Team 7.." He started, then gasped into the walkie-talkie. "The target has moved! After it!"
This mission, it seemed, was quite an important one, having to track down someone...or something. The three genin jumped into the treetops, running after the moving target, before dropping back onto the ground to hide behind trees.
"Okay, he's over there." Sakura spoke, calmly and quietly into her walkie-talkie to alert her team. The target was up ahead, basking in the sunlight.
"What's the distance to the target?" Kakashi asked his team, trying to sound professional.
"5 meters, I'm ready to go!" Naruto said, actually quite tame and calm, for once.
"I am too." Sasuke's voice could be heard, then followed by Sakura's, "Me too."
"Alright, Team 7. Go!" Kakashi ordered, which got a loud, "I got you!", from Naruto, who pounced on the unsuspecting cat. The cat hissed, scratching Naruto as he wrapped his arms around it, so as to not lose hold of it. This only got the cat more angry with the Dobe, where it started to bite at his hand.
"Ow!" He complained, a small amount of blood trickling down his hand. Cat scratches and bites really itched, and now Naruto was starting to figure that fact out.
"Does it have a ribbon on its right ear? Is it our target, Tiger?" Kakashi asked, trying to verify that it was actually the right cat. How embarrassing would it be to return to the Hokage's office with the wrong feline?
((AN: I am using the Manga name, which is Tiger, but in the Anime, the cat is known as Tora.))
"It's the target, for sure." Sasuke said, watching the cat beat up Naruto. 'I don't know who's winning, the cat or Naruto...' He thought to himself, turning his back to the fight.
"Okay, 'Operation Capture Tiger, the Lost Pet" - complete." Kakashi spoke out, as if it wasn't obvious, which got an angry reply from Naruto. "ISN'T THERE A MORE EXCITING MISSION WE CAN WORK ON?" He yelled into the walkie-talkie, causing everyone to cringe and pull them away from their ears.
----------
"Ow! That stings, Sasuke!" Naruto complained as Sasuke held a cotton swab doused in alcohol to Naruto's various scratches. "I said, quit it! It stings too much!" He said, pulling his arm away from Sasuke's grip, cradling it against his chest.
"You are such a baby, Naruto." Sasuke muttered. "If I don't do this now, it will infect and hurt a lot worse...You'll have green liquid pouring out and it will smell bad and-" He was cut off by Naruto shoving his arm back to Sasuke to finish the 'painful' process.
At the moment, they were back in Naruto's house. The sun had set and Kakashi had told them to go back home to rest before returning to cat to the Hokage's office the next day.
The cat was in the -gulp- 'safe' care of Kakashi during the night, but it didn't worry the students. At least /they/ wouldn't have to deal with the whinny cat all night.
----------
Early the next day, Team 7 and Kakashi were in the Hokage's office, having just returned the beloved Tiger to his owner, who was now strangling him with her bear-like hugs.
'Finally that stupid cat is getting what he deserves!' Naruto thought to himself, adding a small after thought of, 'I can't believe he scratched me...'
'No wonder why the cat ran away...The woman is horror.' Sakura thought to herself, but then quickly turned her attention to the Hokage when he cleared his throat.
"Alright, we need a new mission for Team 7. Let's see here... We have:
- Baby-sit Yojyu-sama's boy...
- Grocery shopping at the neighboring village.
Or, oh, this is a good one..
- Help dig up potatoes for-"
He, like everyone else who seemed to speak, was cut off by an angry Naruto. "I want a real mission! I don't want to baby-sit! That's just boring. No! I want to fight bad guys, save people, you know, the cool stuff!" He started to ramble on and on about how unfair it was to give him, Uzumaki Naruto, a boring mission.
'There's truth to that...These missions are boring.' Sasuke thought to himself.
"You know I'm not the kid who used to prank people anymore!" Naruto called out. Everyone was waiting for Naruto to do this, but this act of disrespecting the Hokage angered Iruka.
"Idiot! You are just a genin! Everyone needs to start out at an easy mission to gain experience!"
"But we've only done stupid missions lately! I wa-" Naruto was cut off by Kakashi's fist hitting him in the back of the head, causing him to plummet to the ground.
"Cut it out." Was Kakashi's simple reply to hitting him. 'That cat keeping us up last night really did get Iruka in a bad mood..' Kakashi thought to himself.
"Naruto." Sarutobi's voice spoke out. "It seems that I need to explain to you what missions really are.." He started, before getting into this long, detailed, boring speech about the different levels of ninja, and what missions each levels were sent on.
Naruto didn't listen to any of it as he thought about what ramen he wanted to eat today at Ichiraku. "I had tonkotsu ramen yesterday, so I think I will have miso ramen today. Yeah, that sounds good."
"Listen!" Sarutobi's voice boomed throughout the room.
[After the long verbal fight between Naruto and Sarutobi, the third finally agreed to give team seven another mission
"Fine...Team 7, I have an important mission for you." The third said, looking at Naruto who just smiled. "This one is a C rank mission...You will be escorting someone." He said, and before he could continue, Naruto piped out, "Who? A feudal lord? A princess? A-"
Sasuke's fist hit him in the shoulder and he cursed. "No, Naruto, and if you would let me continue, you will find out soon enough who you will be escorting." Sarutobi said, leaning over his desk to look at the three genin.
"Come on in.." The Third said, and in walked an older man with a beard, an alcohol bottle in his hand. He looked drunk, his cheeks a rosy color, and his graying hair messy. On his head, he had a piece of string tied, which looked awkward and almost like a crown, well, a bad made crown.
"These kids will be escorting me back to my village?" He asked, "I don't think they can handle it...Especially that short one with the strange face.." He said, hiccupping lightly. "Haha, short one! That's funny. Who's the short-" Naruto started, looking between his two other teammates as they started to walk closer to him.
That was when he realized the old man was talking about him. "I will beat you up! I'll kill you!" Naruto yelled angrily. "Naruto, we aren't supposed to be killing him, we are supposed to be protecting him, you idiot!" Sakura yelled at him, and so, another argument started by Naruto arose.
----------
AN: Alright, that's the end of this chapter. I know, it's not long at all, but I want to put out a new chapter every day to every 2 days, and I must say, I wasn't really proud of this chapter, but it was needed to set up for later in the story. Also, thank you for those who reviewed, I really appreciate it, and to those who favored and put me on their watch list. That totally made my day. J I am so glad that I still have readers. Although, some reader did make me a little upset. They were commenting about how wrong my story is, and if you are reading this, I know I PM-ed you about that comment, but seriously, if you do not like this kind of stuff, please, do not read it. I mean, if it was criticism about how I could improve, those are always welcome, but this one was about how sick my story was. Please, if you have those kind of feelings, do not tell me about it, just close the browser.
Anyways, I'll end my ranting. The next chapter will be with Zabuza and Haku! One of my favorite parts in the series. I hope you guys enjoy it. J
Thank you again for reading, it is much appreciated. 3
