Chapter 6
One year later,
"So any drawbacks." Asked the Sandaime.
"No just some annoying Iwa ninja tried to kill me." Said Naruto.
'The Iwa ninjas most probably are sixteen feet under the ground now.' Thought the Hokage.
Kurenai, Itachi and Naruto were promoted to chunin a year ago. The trio still did mission as a single team joined by different other chunins in various mission or a special jounin. This last mission was in Waterfall country where they had o escort their leader. While returning some Iwa ninjas recognized Naruto as Yondaime's son and as such tried to kill him.
"Okay team you are dismissed except Naruto and Itachi. You two stay." Said the Hokage. Kurenai left nodding towards the boys.
"I have a secret mission for you." Said the Hokage looking towards Itachi and Naruto.
"When do we leave Hokage sama?" asked NAruto.
"Report to me after three days at 7:00 Am. You would be detailed then." Said the Hokage.
"Now you may go."
Itachi and Naruto bowed and left.
Konoha Streets.
"What did the Hokage want with you two?" asked Kurenai.
"Mission." Said both the boys.
Kurenai nodded and became silent. She knew the Hoakge sometimes assigned secret missions to the boys.
"Okay guys I am going to hit the bed. See you tomorrow." Said Kurenai
"I am going to do some personal training." Said Naruto.
"Me too." Said Itachi.
The trio said their good byes and departed.
Hokage Mountains.
'Still not perfect.' Thought Naruto looking towards the forest.
A large part of the forest was totally devastated. Uprooted trees were lying everywhere with a crater at the middle.
"One more time.' Thought Naruto and the wind around him stated speeding up in a rotating motion.
Three days later.
"I have information that Kusagakure which is our ally is making some deals with Iwagakure regarding military purpose. We cannot let that happen." Said the Hokage.
"your mission is to infiltrate the village kill the elder named Kurosaki who is influencing this deal and make it look like work of Iwa."
"Now you would be joined by Kakashi Hatake as the leader."
A tall silver haired man wearing a mask over his face and one of his eye appeared in the Hokage's office.
Kakashi eyesmiled and introduced himself to Itachi and Naruto.
"Now submit your head band. This should not look like work of Konoha in any way." Said the Hokage.
The three shinobis submitted their head bands and exited the Hokage Tower.
Forest outside Konoha,
'Well he looks exactly like Minato sensei but ...' thought Kaskashi.
"Anything wrong Kakashi ." asked Naruto when he noticed Kakashi staring at him.
"Nothing Naruto. Lets increase our speed. Shall we." Said kasha.
Naruto became silent and the trio increased their speed heading towards Kusagakure. It was already night when they reached Kusa.
Kusagakure.
"Two chunin guarding the gate with a third one on a tower 30 meter right to them." said Itachi looking towards Kusa gate.
"So how do you suggest we infiltrate?" asked Kakashi.
"Distraction." Said Naruto
"Yes, I would cast a genjutsu on the chunins near the gate and.." said Itachi
"I would create a distraction for the chunin on the tower." Said Naruto.
"We then pass the chunin guards and dispel then genjutsu on the guards allowing them to respond to the chunin on the tower." finished Itachi.
"Excellent observation.' Thought Kakashi.
"Lets go we have a 20 second loop." Said Itachi.
After some time,
The infiltration was successful as they had planned and now the trio was hiding on a large tree.
"Kurosaki's bedroom is on the third floor and there is a guard outside his room." Said Itachi observing with his sharingan.
"Okay here is the plan. Itachi use your genjutsu on the guard and prevent him from going in Kurosaki's bedroom by any chance."
"Naruto your duty is to enter Kurosaki's room without alerting anyone and kill him using a common Iwa technique and leave the rest to me." Finished Kakashi.
"Now go."
Naruto and Itachi disappeared without a trace.
Kurosaki's Chamber
Wind blew inside Kurosaki's bedroom and Naruto appeared beside his bed.
"I have implanted the genjutsu on the guard. Kill him." Said Itachi through his radio transmitter.
Naruto stared at the sleeping elder.
Suddenly a large earth spear appeared from beneath Kurosaki's bed and pierced him through his chest. Kurosaki opened his eyes to see a large earth spear coming out of his chest. He gurgled some blood from his mouth and his vision turned black.
"So I guessed right." Stated Naruto and turned back to see Kakashi with a Iwa ninja standing beside him.
"Yes this one was drunk enough so I hypnotized him quite easily and behold a Iwa ninja killing the elder Kurosaki." Said kaskahi.
"Okay as soon as I close my sharingan we should escape." Said Kakashi.
One hour later,
"So whats the verdict?" asked Kakashi.
"The Kusa leader has imprisoned the ninjas from Iwa and all the villagers are demanding their head." Said Itachi
"No more deal then." Said kakashi eye smiling.
"Now lets wait a few hours and then return back."
The mission was over and they were now hiding in a underground chamber made by Naruto using earth manipulation. The only thing left was to escape Kusa without alerting them but that was easy too.
'You have become a splendid shinobi Naruto and Itachi you too.' Thought Kakashi
One day later,
"Yes Hokage sama the mission is successful. The Kusa leader won't make the deal with Iwa." Said Kakashi.
Kakashi had to give full report of the mission.
"Well done team. You can leave now except Kakashi." Said the Hokage.
Naruto and Itache bowed and left.
"So what do you think Kakashi?" asked the Hokage.
"Both Itachi and Naruto are what they are rumoured to be. Prodigies born only once. Their observation skill is excellent. Silent like atrue ninja. Excellent control over their emotion. Naruto is expert in nature manipulation whereas Itachi is very subtle. In a few years they would surpass me quite easily. To be frank Hokage sama Konahoa at last hascreated two deadly weapons." Said Kakashi and turned to leave.
"And yes they are more than ready." Saying that Kakashi left leaving the Sandaime to his thoughts.
