Naruto sat with natsuki in the training grounds,managing to slip away from the others for a while."so,should we practice the kagebushin first or the hiraishin?"natsuki asked.

"kagebushin,it won't damage us as much"naruto replied,opening the scroll."i'll go first"he preformed the needed hand seals."kagebushin no jutsu!"after a puff of smoke,natsuki found herself surrounded by six narutos.

"whoa!"natsuki looked around."alright naruto,my turn!"the blonde boy dismissed the clones as natsuki formed the hand seals."kagebushin no jutsu!"after a large puff of smoke,the clearing cleared to show six natsuki's."nice"naruto commented."okay,we should head back now natsuki,kira said we have a mission after we meet for some ramen!"a pleased mile crossed his face as he left the training grounds,natsuki following.

natsuki and naruto arrived just as sakura and sasuke did."hey guys,get any training done?"

"ofcourse dobe,that is the whole reason we're here any way"sasuke sneered.

"yeah naruto-baka,you should have known atleast that since your dad is the one who convinced the hokage to take us here in the first place"sakura chimed.

"look here pinky,the only one who calls naruto a baka is me! if you have any comments or concerns feel free to let me know so i can kick your loud ass!"natsuki snapped.

"Okay kittens,put your claws away,"kira joked padding up."we have a couple warm-up D-rank missions than a C-rank one"the Ōkami said."i have specific instructions from the hokage and your sensei to let you guys practice fighting and other stuff with what ever summons chose to be with you,so hurry up and pick so we can leave"

"I want you kira!"natsuki said,drawing a smile from the wolf pup.

"i guess i'll take the fox"naruto pointed to the blue kitsune who smirked.

"great,i get the gaki"kyuu remarked making naruto glare at him.

"then i'll take the bird"sakura pointed to the slightly large feathered creature,leaving sasuke with a orange and white cat.

"okay!,everyone has partner! now lets get going!"kira instructed,hopping on natsuki's head as they walked pass the gigantic gates.

After successfully completing their war-up missions an heading back to town,Team 7 met their summons at the training grounds.

"okay pups! it's time to train before our last mission of the of you take a position in the field and work on making new jutsus to use with your partners"kira said before everyone broke up into groups.

with Naruto and Kyuu

Naruto flopped into the grass."so kyuu,whats your element?"

"i specialize in katon based jutsu,and you?"

"well,i mostly know Fuuton but my dad did teach me and natsuki two suiton jutsus!"

"hm,well let me show you mine!"kyuu twitched his left ear twice before leaping into the air."Katon: Kitsuhonoo!"A huge fireball erupted from the fox's mouth and destroyed everything in it's path.

"Woah!"naruto exclaimed before giving kyuu a smirk."alright! it's my turn now!"after going through needed hand seals naruto took in a large breath."Suiton: Teppoudama!"large water bullets erupted from the blond's mouth and collided with several trees,breaking smiled sheepishly.

"nice kit,maybe this could work."kyuu complemented.

"yep,if our attacks were to collide,it would create a large amount of steam!that would give our team the upper hand!"naruto concluded.

"well naruto,i guess i finally know whats bigger than your mouth"Kyuu chided.

"well it's my head ofcour-HEY!"

(A/N: srry,i gotta skip everyone else,moms almost back...hehehe)

After training they met at the village gates and embarked on their first C-rank and kira led the group with naruto and kyuu taking up the rear was sasuke&sume,and sakura&hane was a peaceful walk,until kira tensed on top natsuki's head making the blond girl ofcourse didn't go unoticed by her team mates who folled the suit."we're being followed"kira growled.

Kyuu and naruto exchanged a swift weaved through hand signs while kyuu's ears twitched furiously."Kitsuhonoo Teppoudama!" naruto and kyuu's attacks combined,creating a large amount of giving them a chance to escape.

"why don't we just fend them off?"sasuke objected.

"right now we just have to worry about getting to the next village and completing our mission,plus those are just some low class bandits"kira said.

the uchiha snorted but continued to follow his team.

Naruto then took lead of the group as they continued down the path before them."So kyuu,what vilage are we going to?"

kyuu looked up at the blonde."Yuki pakku,a village run by have to guard some ancient artifact that they have due to a couple of rumors that someones planning to steal it."the kitsune explained.

"What artifact do we have to protect?"sakura asked.

"some acient sword thats said to grant ultimate power to who ever weilds 's Yuki pakku's secret weapon when their losing in a war or battle,thats why their village and our village are allies"kira spoke up.

"yeah,who would want to get in a fight with some stupid weak village that has one strong trump card"sume nodded in they need to depend on that sword so much,their not as strong as you all say right?"

hane shook her feathered head."no,their also feared in battle because of their savage nature and impeccable stamina"she explained.

The entire group came to a stop."we're resting here for now"kira said."we'll be at the village tomorrow morning."

They all settled down around a small fire,thanks to natsuki and naruto,and began to discuss their mission again."Even so they must have some sort of weakness!"sakura said.

kira shook her head."Their wolves,we're strong creatures and always believe in working as a pack or when we're apart our minds are connected and we can locate the other pack members no matter the to mention how fast we are and our keen a contract with wolves also signifies that you are now part of that is a saying that we wolves use,'the pack is life,the pack is forever'"

"or maybe your all just to proud to admit your weaknesses"sume muttered.

"what your problem?"kira growled.

"right now,you! your entire race,species,or what ever is my problem kira!"sume hissed

"cool it,now!"Hane skwaked, whacking both summons on the head.

"sume started it"kira glared at the cat before padding over to natsuki,curling up in her lap and closing her eyes.

said cat rolled his eyes before laying down,eyes closed.

"maybe we all should get some sleep?"kyuu exchanged a swift glance before they to settled down and drifted off to sleep.
