(Scene Break)

Last Time…

Zaraki stepped up and asked, "Old man Hokage, Team 2 would like to request a mission."

The Genins of Team 7 looked shocked at the disrespect that Zaraki was showing to the Hokage. But they were too scared to do and or say anything about.

The Hokage looked through his pile of scrolls, before getting the one that he saved for Zaraki and his team and handed it to the said giant, "Here you go, Kenpachi. A C -rank mission to guard the borders between Kumo and us."

"Why do those losers get a better mission than us!? I'm the last Uchiha and I demand a higher ranking mission!" Sasuke yelled at the Hokage, while Sakura nodded her head in agreement. While everyone else in the room wanted to strangle the spoiled rotten brat for yelling at the Hokage.

Team 2 just rolled their eyes when they noticed that Kakashi did not punish his genin for the disrespect.

The Hokage glared at the so called last Uchiha as he answered, "I rather have Iwa invade Konoha, then let Team 2 do a D –rank mission as an invasion would involve less paperwork to deal with. You have no right to demand anything from me, Uchiha. Now get lost."

As both teams exited the Hokage Tower, the Hokage called over one of ANBU and told him to bring Sasuke Uchiha to T&I for physic evaluation to determine if the boy is stable enough to continue to be a Shinobi.

Present Time…

Team 2 arrived at their post at the border of Kumo and Konoha with no trouble what so ever. In fact, Naruto was not very surprised, considering who were the team leader and the members of the said team. No one in their right mind wants to fight Kenpachi, unless you are from Kiri or those who really hate Konoha in Iwa. When they got to the border, Naruto could sense the Kumo Nins running away from them as fast as possible. She was not very surprised, since Kenpachi was the one who caught that Kumo ambassador trying to break into Hinata's room when they were three years old. Still, it was hilarious that other Shinobis run from him. But Naruto was a bit sad that she was not in Konoha right now.

"Hey, Naru, what's up with you?" Yumichika asked. He was the only one in the team who could sense a change in her emotions, immediately.

"Kinda wished that I was back in Konoha right now," Naru answered without going into any details.

"Why is that?" Ikkaku questioned as he expressed his confusion.

Naruto smirked, "I want to witness the reactions of the Genins when they find out that Tora can walk on water,"

The expressions on both Yumichika's and Ikkaku's faces were priceless as their jaws hit the ground and their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

"What's going on here?" Kenpachi asked as he took notice of the boys' shocked filled expressions. Yachiru was laughing at the sight of them while riding on his shoulder.

"She's the one who has been teaching that demon cat Tora new tricks!" Ikkaku exclaimed as he pointed at her.

Kenpachi's grin became even more blood thirsty as he patted Naruto on her head and praised, "Good girl!"

Back at Konoha…

Team 7 was chasing Tora as known as the Demon Cat from Hell, for the last six hours and finally they are going to trap the blasted cat at the lake's shore line like the last they had chased it.

"Everyone in their positions!?" Kakashi's voice came through the Genins' earpieces.

"Hai!" All three of them answered at once.

"Now!" Came the command.

All three of the genins flew from their positions, through the air, and collided head-on with a log painfully.

Kakashi was in shock, he just could not believe his eyes. That demon just switched itself with a log. Apparently, someone has been teaching that cat new tricks in order to escape capture.

"What just happened?" Sakura asked as she held her head, which was throbbing in extreme pain. The other two were not doing any better either.

"I think that we may have serious problem," Sai said as he stared out at the lake.

Both Sasuke and Sakura looked out at the lake, only to see Tora standing there on the surface of the water, looking very smug indeed.

Screams of horror could be heard all over Konoha. And that day will be put down in history books that it was proven that Tora was indeed from hell itself as it was soon discovered that Tora has gotten better at escaping. Now whenever a genin team gets assigned the mission to capture Tora, they will actually break down crying and sobbing. And there will be a rumor which was going around, which was proven true at a later date, that the ANBU put Tora in the Bingo Book and labeled the demon cat as a SS-Class Demon Cat From Hell and to flee on sight.

Back to Team Demon…

"Apparently, Tora has been around way before Konoha was even built," Naruto explained.

Ikkaku asked in horror, "If that's true, then what is that cat really?"

To learn that Tora was around for that long was like a nightmare of the worst sort to even think about.

Kurama finally spoke up in Naruto's mind, "They were created by my sister, Nibi before she was sealed away for the first time. This was her way of getting revenge on those who sealed us away."

Naruto blinked and then asked almost fearfully, "They? As in there is more than one Tora running around the Elemental Countries?"

"Oh yes," Kurama stated. "Nibi was only able to create five before being sealed away. So now, I believe there is one in every major hidden village. They are attacked to jinchuurikis, I believe."

"Well, what does the old fox say?" Yumichika asked. They could always tell whenever Naruto talks to Kurama, she gets very still and her eyes glaze over slightly.

Naruto blinked rapidly before she answered, "Yeah, according to Kurama, there are a total of five Toras running around the Elemental Countries."

"Five Toras!" Everyone shouted. If anyone else found out that there were five of them in existence, they would be in a nut house faster than you can blink.

"How?" Ikkaku asked. He was now very interested in the answered. It was like finding the meaning of life.

Naruto answered, "Apparently, before Nibi was sealed away for the first time, she created them in revenge."

"It seems that Nibi really got the perfect revenge on everyone," Ikkaku said with a smirk on his face.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They all remember the time when Naruto was only six years old and she had just crossed paths with Tora and the results were not pretty what so ever. Let's just say that the meeting did not turn out good and it was put down in history books, because Naruto had flooded the market place.

"Where did Kenpachi and Yachiru go?" Naruto asked as she looked around the area, but those two were nowhere in sight.

"Oh shit! They must have wondered off again!" Ikkaku exclaimed in horror as he looked around their area.

Yumichika sighed, "It will probably take all day to find them."

Naruto suggested, "Let's split up and look for them, then."

With that, all three of them went their separate ways in search of their team Captain and co-Captain. They will have to employ the buddy system after this in order to keep Kenpachi from getting lost.

(Scene Break)

A week later…

Kenpachi and his team looked from their lunch when a team of random Shinobis from Konoha landed in their area. The leader of the team gave Kenpachi a scroll, who in turn threw it to Naruto, who opened it and read its contents. She was the one on the team, who fills out reports and paperwork.

"What does it say?" Ikkaku asked as he nodded at the scroll in her hands.

Nodding to the other Shinobi, Naruto stated, "They are taking over our post and border patrol. The Hokage has ordered us to travel to Wave Country and back-up Team 7 on their mission."

The other Shinobi spoke up, "Wave Country is where Gato is located. Word around is that he sucking the country dry of its resources. The man has a habit of hiring missing Nins and after the job is done, he kills them off with his band of goons, when they are tired and weak from battle."

"Thanks for the info, blacky-chan," Yachiru chirped from her perch on Kenpachi's shoulder, while ignoring the groan from the Shinobi at the nickname that was given to him.

Naruto recognized their replacements as the few that don't care about the nine tailed demon that is sealed in her gut.

Ikkaku just realized something very important, as he exclaimed in absolute horror, "Ah man! This means that we're going to be dealing with the freaky-eyed duckbutt, the pink eye-sore screeching banshee, the pale fake weirdo, and their lazy perverted scarecrow of a sensei! This is going to suck big time!"

Everyone heard snorts of laughter from their replacements as the mood in Team Demon dropped down to a new low.

"Well, at least, we will be able to return to Konoha sooner this way," Naruto stated. She was happy about that part.

Ikkaku gave her a perverted grin, "Yeah and you will be able to cuddle with your hubby sooner, too."

Naruto sent him a glare that usually sent others running for the hills, while both Kenpachi and Yumichika chuckled and Yachiru giggled.

Only her team and the Hokage knew that she's involved with Iruka romantically. The two of them had just clicked together. But both of them agreed to wait until she was older to do any of the serious stuff. Their relationship is one of the best kept secrets in Konoha, unlike Danzo's Root Nin Program still being active.

AN: I hope that you all like this chapter. Please write a review, telling me what you think of it. Have a wonderful day everyone!
