Author's Note: I'm so sorry that this took so long to get out guys!!! I just got sooooooooo wrapped up in life. I had school got a job (money!!!) Boyfriends (yes plural) and more exams as well as visiting relatives as well as major's writers block.

Also this chapter probably wouldn't have been done for another month if not for Pheonixmirage and distant6. These two people helped me get through my writer's block Pheonixmirage kicked me off of my butt to get to work and one of distant6's stories made inspiration hit me like a semi and sent me running around for ten minutes like a chicken with its head cut off looking for my notebook in which in the course of a hour I wrote eight pages.

Beta's Note: To be detirmined.

This chapter is un edited by letta because as soon as I was done typing I wanted to post it imediatly.

Worries and Weapons

The fox looked at him. He looked at the fox. There was something wrong with this picture, but what was it? Well maybe the fact that the fox was grinning, yes grinning(!) at him in such an insane way that he almost expected an anvil to drop down on him at any moment in an almost comical Saturday morning cartoon fashion. That was until the little fox snickered and ran back into the forest at which the silver haired twenty-six year old sweat dropped at.

What on earth was that all about?'

"You did it Fuzzy?"

The little fox nodded before dissipating.

Naruto then turned to his teammates with a smirk. "Stage one complete. Stage two initiate. Sakura you got that genjutsu I showed you down. Right?"

"Yes but I'll only be able to hole it for a few moments though..." She sounded slightly nervous about the whole ordeal.

"That's fine he only needs to glimpse it anyway. Sasuke?"

The midnight haired boy turned to him. "Hn... I know what to do."

"Excellent. Alright let's go!"

With a last nod they all sped off to where their sensei was currently waiting.

"Kanton: Goukakyouu no Jutsu!"

Following the shout was a giant intense ball of flame making a bee-line for his head.

He deftly dodged to the right only to find himself covered in blonde haired clones holding him in place. When one of them shouted.

"Now Sakura!"

The Said genin jumped out in front of them and began a chain of around six hand seals. She stopped on hare and shouted out.

"Kikan Jitsu no Jutsu!" (Mirror of Reality Jutsu)

A mirror materialized out of thin air in front of the girl.

'What the...?'

It was then that the masked jonin noticed the image...

"I – I – I – I'm wearing a g – g – green tutu!!!!" He looked down at himself and all he seen was his jonin uniform. 'What?' Sakura giggled as the mirror faded. "Yep sensei but it's a special genjutsu that is not visible to the victim."

Naruto now joined in, "Exactly, but it is visible to everyone else... and cameras... Sasuke?"

The blonde and his clones lept away from their sensei, as soon as they were clear Kakashi heard a 'click' and out stepped Sasuke, camera in hand.

"Y – y – you never!" He pointed aghast at the black mail his students now had.

"Oh but that's not all sensei..."

He turned, 'Now what?' His eye widened as the shortest member of the team waved his little orange book in front of his face.

"Missing something?"

He made a dive for his precious book when the one holding it threw it high in the air. "Now!"

"Kanton: Goukakyouu no Jutsu!"

The speeding fire ball was enclosing in on the book as Kakashi lept after it and the Naruto clones went after him.

A few seconds later there was a cry of, "Sakura! Catch!" and the pink haired genin caught the two silver bells easily into her hands.

The clones poofed out of existence as her sensei and teammate once again landed on the ground. Devoid of any injury except a bit of singed hair and glove for Kakashi.

She turned to Sasuke and offered him a bell, which he readily accepted... just as the bell went off.

The three genin paused mid breath and swiveled their heads as one to stare at their sensei. To normal people this was enough to make one scream and hide under a rock but this time all you could see was Kakashi tenderly stow his saved book back into his pouch.

"Well?"

Kakashi looked up. "Well what?"

And that was when Sakura snapped. "What do you mean 'Well what?'! I'll show you 'Well what'! Did we pass or not!!!"

The three males in the vicinity stared at her with wide eyes. Shocked.

Afraid that he might let loose some PMS he quickly answered her. After all that whack from Anko last month did leave its impression.

"Y – yes you passed."

Sakura had seemed to calm down when she asked her next question. "Wha – what?"

"I said... You pass."

A wide grin spread across her features as she punched the air. Meanwhile you could hear a resounding "Hell Ya!!" from Naruto and a small satisfied "Hn" and a smirk from Sasuke.

"Alright you three, listen up."

They all snapped to attention at the tone of his voice.

"Okay from now on this area is our meeting point. We will meet here at seven am. We will have our first mission tomorrow."

Before he left he said one more thing, "Congratulations team." 'I can't believe that they actually passed, then again they are so much like my old team... It makes you wonder.' and poofed off to where ever it is that he goes.

Naruto then turned to his 'new' teammates. "Um... Uh... Do you guy's wanna get some lunch with me and Hinata-chan?"

Listening to this Sakura was immediately about to say 'no'. 'Why would I want to anyway? He's just an annoying idiot.'

Just as she was about to open her mouth she heard another voice.

"Fine."

'Sasuke-kun!' Was her only thought as they began walking towards town.

'I want to find out more about the dobe... Something isn't right. Except that stupid smile but even that seems to have a deeper meaning to it now. He's definitely hiding something... and his new companionship with Hinata is curious as well...'

"Hey Hina-chan! I decided to bring my team is that okay?"

Hinata smiled at the blonde boy. "Of course Naruto-kun! Um where do you want to go to eat though?"

In the end they ended up going to this little stand that sold dango among other things.

After which Naruto and Hinata excused themselves after paying and decided to train for a bit. Leaving Sasuke (somewhat evilly) with a Sakura ecstatic that she would get some alone time with the object of her obsession.

When they reached the clearing that they would be using for training, Naruto looked straight into lavender eyes and spoke softly. "Now what?"

She could see the despair and the lost look in his eyes. 'He knows his goals and where he wants to go but he doesn't know how to get there...'

Hinata hugged him and replied with a slightly evil grin in hopes of cheering him up. "We get as strong as possible and kick anyones butt that gets in out way!"

That one sentence put a smile on his face and eased the tension. For now at least.

For now they would walk up trees until they could not walk no more.

About a month later rings us to this moment. The three young nin from team seven were currently resting in a clearing by the river.

Sasuke had continued to be weary of Naruto and his oh so sudden burst of intelligence, power and maturity. So far the aspiring shinobi had continued to make progress in making them closer as a team even if it was so very subtle that it was barely tangible that he was doing it. But it was there definitrly there.

They were more team like you you could say somewhat disjointed in the way that they fighted.

As Sasuke became more tolerant (really just more interested in the puzzle that was Naruto, he hated when he couldn't classify a person) Sakura slowly became able to stand and listen to the short one as well.

All in all what brings us to this fine afternoon by the river was thing statement from Sakura...

"I wish we were given a real mission."

Both boys looked at her. Both of them had said it many time before but for Sakura to say it was like she had just said, "I love Ino." or "Meh... It's just Sasuke." It was next to inconceivable for the ever uncomplaining Sakura.

After a few moments of their blank looks she continued. "I mean sure we have had missions but nothing really real in a tangible sense. We are stuck weeding, babysitting, and finding Tora the cat."

She paused for a moment to glare accusingly at the sky. "I'm starting to get sick of it."

Sasuke offered a small "Hn..." and a nod in agreement. 'I'm starting to get frustrated by the lack of growth myself.'

The eyes of sapphire however had an idea but nodded anyway.'This subject could be quite beneficial.'

'You sound like a psychotic mad man, you do realize that right kit?'

'Shut it Fuzzy...'

A moment later he suggested this to his teammates.

"If you guys are bored, and I am to we should..." he paused here, eyes glinting as they both looked at him. "Train like the devil's at the hind parts and get weapons, real weapons, sword weapons. Then ask, seemingly randomly, for a higher ranked mission and blow Kakashi-sensei's mask off."

Sasuke's obsidian eyes sparked at the mention of swords. 'The dobe continues to remain unpredictable, more information is required...Why am I thinking like a robot?'

Sakura however had something different on her mind, 'His mask? Excellent...' Inner Sakura cackled at the idea of dangerous weapons.

"Well how about it?"

No words were exchanged. Just large smirks and an even larger one from Naruto.

Two days later team seven and Hinata found themselves in the middle of a weapons shop.

Naruto and Hinata had both discussed this and had decided that they had get with the program with Sasuke and Sakura as things were drawing closer and the wave mission would come up in about three months. Just enough time to increase their skill up to at least mid to high chunnin or mid to high jonin in the couple's case.

As they explored the weapons shop they found everything from swords and daggers to clubs and axes. Naruto was easy to shop for as in the past life he had a pair of claws that went over his knuckles. Similar to Asuma's, except that they were three bladed claws that went into holsters on either side of his hips.

Hinata however was a little harder. Before, her weapon had been a staff with a chakra scythe blade that when swung at an opponent did not cut them. Instead it caused massive internal damage and blocked all tenketsu within five centimeters around where it had made contact.

Since this was a very specially made object (It was actually Naruto who thought of it and they had both designed it with the help of Neji and Shikamaru.) she decided to just get a regular staff and to begin work on it so it would hold the jutsu. This jutsu would help in the solidification of the chakra so that one could see it. The staff was made of ebony macassar wood, was about four foot long and would go strapped across her back.

Now Sasuke was having a bit of trouble. He knew that he wanted a sword. He just couldn't decide on which one. In his left hand he had an obsidian sheathed kodachi with a midnight blue grip. In his right he had a one and a half foot longer five foot nihonto with a royal blue sheath with silver clasps and an onyx grip.

After Naruto had finished paying for his claws (the owner made no fuss as he had see the Uchiha and Hyuuga come in with him) he walked over to Sasuke to try and give him a hand.

"What do you want dobe?"

Naruto was now across from him. "We;;..." He started cockily. "I see that you are having some trouble in deciding which sword that you want."

Sasuke looked up and glared slightly. "And did I ask for your help?"

Now with a big grin the blonde continued. "Well no but I just wanted to point out that if you chose the nihonto you would look like a undersized fool and that the kodachi is more your size."

The Uchiha now had a full on glare but put the nihonto back regardless. 'How would the dobe know? He's probably never even seen a person fight with a sword before, let alone know which one was which and their exact names. He just keeps getting weirder...'

As you can see Sasuke is quite suspicious of our young time traveling hero. However we must now turn our attention over to Sakura.

Sakura was the hardest out of all of them to find a weapon for.

Naruto's mind worked quickly as he saw the lost look on Sakura's face as she stared at the rows and rows of weapons on the walls and in cases. 'That's right even in the future she had never even used a bladed weapon aside from kunai and shuriken. She had always just used her fists and medical jutsu.'

The boy then went over to a small case before going over to Sakura and handing them to her.

When she saw Naruto shove something in front of her face her first instinct was to yell at him but the thing he was holding caught her eye. On closer inspection she could see that they were half fingered gloves with a red thread leaf design on the backs. As the pink haired looked at the blonde she said sarcastically. "Gloves? That should be my weapon? Ya right Naruto."

"These gloves are specially made with flexible steel plates on the fingers, knuckles, and back in between the fabric. Also if they were applied right they could even deflect blows from swords."

Sakura was lost for words by the time he had finished and all that she could squeak out was a small "Oh".

A sincere smile then crossed his face. "Also I think you would do well with these too."

He handed her two scrolls and a book. "They're on medical jutsu by the way and Hinata-chan's said that she wanted to learn it as well."

"T – thank you."

"No problem." And as he walked over to Hinata he threw over his shoulder, "Well I was going to suggest a small tanto to you too, to hide it down your shirt... But well you don't really have anything to hold it there do you?"

This next exclimation was heard from a five block radius followed by a resounding bang.

"NARUTO! You Pervert!!!!!!"
