"Ah! Can't we get a better mission than this?! I hate cats!," Hana watched Kakashi fall over from the loud scream. "It seems Naruto is more active then I'd imagine," Hana said pulling her communicator from her ringing ear.

"Ye-yeah," Kakashi said with a whine in his throat.

A large woman squeezed her cat as it meowed loudly, from the intense hug. Naruto chuckled. "Stupid cat, that kitty deserves to squashed,"

"Naruto, you should treat animals better, I assume that's the reason you got scratched," Hana said to him. He just chuckled.

"Now then for team 7 we have several available task," The Hokage lifted up a paper and read from it. "Helping a counselor's wife do some shopping and babysitting, pulling up potatoes," Naruto interrupted with a loud groan. "Nooo!, I wanna go on a real mission, Something challenging and exciting not this little kid stuff," Hana felt her smile form on her lips. "He's has a point," She said. Naruto smiled at her.

"How dare you?! Your just a brand new genin with no experience, just like everyone else you start with simply mission to develop your skills," Iruka said slamming his hand on the table.

The Hokage began a long speech, of course no one was listening. "So I was thinking about having this miso ramen today,"

"Silence!," The Hokage said to them.

"Is that what you really go by? With the mission we receive we won't get the chance to develop any skills," Hana stated. "Yeah, exactly what Hana said! I'm not the same little brat that used to pulled pranks all the time, I'm a ninja now and I want a ninja mission," Naruto huffed and turned around. The Hokage and Iruka smiled. "So be it, since your so determined, I'll give you a C-ranked mission, you'll be body guards on a mission,"

"Really? Yes! Who are we guarding a princess or some counselor?,"

"I'll bring him in now, send in our guest," The door opened and they all turned to it. "What the, just a bunch of snot nosed kids?," Hana felt her eyebrow twitch. "Kid?," He drank from a large bottle. "And you, the little one with idiotic look on your face, you really expect me to believe you're a ninja," Naruto laughed. "Who's the one with the idiotic look on his face," The three stood next to him. "I'll demolish you!," Naruto shouted. "You can't demolish the client Naruto, it doesn't work that way," Kakashi said holding him back.

"My name is Tazuna a master bridge builder, I only request you escort me back home safely and protect me until my bridge is complete,"

Hana put her finger to her chin and looked at Naruto who of course was still angry. 'I've got a hideous feeling, this is going to turn ugly fast,'

At the large gates outside of the hidden leaf village six figures began walking out. Taking the lead, Naruto expressed his undying excitement. "Have you never been out of the village before Naruto?," Hana asked watching him. "Nope, this is my first time! This is so exciting,"

"Is this brat really a ninja?," Tazuna asked. "I'm a Jonin, and I'll be in charge, so there's need to worry," "Keep talking old man, I'm going to become Hokage one day you'll be on your knees respecting me! Believe it!," Naruto shouted. "He certainly is persistent, I'll give him that," Hana said.

Nanami sat in front of her father. "You have failed to many times Nanami," He bowed until her forehead touched the floor. "I know father. Please forgive me,"

"Your mother must be turning in her grave right now," Nanami balled her fist up. "I keep getting interrupted by others,"

"Others?,"

"The Jonin of the village and Hana's friends,"

"She has friends?,"

"I'm afraid so," She looked up at him.

"Those who associate with monsters shall be treated like monsters,"

"Father?,"

"The next time someone interferes, get rid of them,"

"Yes father, I understand, the next time I see her, no, this time I'm going find her and back her into a corner like a mouse," A small smile appeared across his face. "Excellent Nanami, take this," He pulled out a small sack from his breast pocket. "What are these father?,"

"They are a special orbs," Nanami opened the sac and more than a hundred tiny blue orbs the size of medicine gleamed from the light. "You can only eat one at a time, and they give you a boost of chakra and strength,"

An evil smile appeared on her face. "This is just what I need, I'll make you proud father," She stood up slowly and began to leave the room, holding the sack close to her chest. "With this, I'll definitely kill you Hana,"

The team walked the dirt path in silence. Naruto led the group with Hana standing next to him. "So Hana, I've been meaning to ask you, about that girl who attacked you,"

"It's best you don't know," She said and turned back to the path. "Come on, I mean there must be a reason why she wanted to hurt you,"

"There is a reason for her attempt on my life but as I said, it's best you don't know," She said without looking at him. Naruto gave her a puzzled look. Kakashi was suddenly grabbed by a chain and two ninja holding each end. They all turned around in surprise. 'I thought this was a C-ranked mission?,'

The team became petrified with fear. "Kakashi sensei!," the two hurried behind Naruto. "Now it's your turn," Hana turned to them, Sasuke leaped high into the air and threw a shuriken at the chain, and then a kunai into the hole of it. The chain didn't come off, Sasuke kicks them but the two enemies' breaks the barbed chain off their armguards. One quickly ran towards Naruto and the other towards Tazuna and Sakura. Hana leaped away from Naruto and stood in front of Sakura. The man lifted his clawed arm guards Hana stepped forward but Stopped when Sasuke stood in front of her once more. 'Sasuke?,'

Before the two men could attack, Kakashi reappeared holding their necks in his arm. "Hi,"

They all smiled at him.

"..Sasuke," Hana said his name like a snake. He turned to her. "Did I not warn about stepping in front of me like that? It's dangerous,"

"Hey! Be grateful he save you," Hana felt as if her insides twinge. "Let's get one thing straight, the lot of you, I don't want your help and I don't need it, I'm not a weakling, Understood,"

Kakashi sighed. 'Oh well, there she goes again,'

Sasuke raised an eye brow as she turned away. 'What's with her?,'

Sakura growled. 'What's her deal?! She's such a-Ugh,'

Nanami stood in her room, with her weapons and clothes set to go. She looked down at the picture of her and her two team mates smiling together. Nanami smiled at it. 'If I don't come back, I want you two to know that you'll always be my best friends,' Nanami's smile faded and she put the picture face down. "I'm going!," She said out loud.

"So, you wanna tell me what that was?," Kakashi asked Hana. "What was what?,"

"You nearly bit Sasuke's head off back there, he did save you after all,"

"Kakashi, you know why I don't like others protecting me,"

"I know, I know, but is shows they care Hana," She pressed her pink lips together and closed her eyes. "I can't do that, I can't let them in, I'm sorry," She whispered with her head down. He just watched her and nodded. "I understand,"
