i dont own naruto
After getting the ok from the old man, Naruto headed towards the hokage's training grounds, he then made a 500 shadow clones, and 200 chakra clones, and had them get to work. He then started his own workout, and decided it was time to up his resistance seals another level, but he was at level 100, so he did a few handsigns and said, "Resistance seal level increase, master level two, sub level 1." then seals glowed on his body and he was now at the equivalent of level 101.
After training till dark he went back to his apartment. After taking a short shower, and having a meal, he laid down, and went into peaceful sleep.
Naruto woke up at about 7, he sat up and stretched after the good nights sleep, he then got up and got dress, then made a chakra clone and had it teleport to the Hokage's training grounds and make as many clones as it could, only about 350 in all, but it was better then nothing.
After eating breakfast he looked at the clock, it was 15 to eight. So he collected all the dirty dishes and washed them. As that only took a few minutes, he took off walking towards training ground seven, as opposed to shun shin.
When he arrived he saw Sakura already there training, and Sasuke sitting under a tree brooding. "Hey Sasuke, Sakura." he said as he walked into the training grounds.
"Oh, hey Naruto." Sakura said as she stopped practicing her tiajutsu and walked towards him and Sasuke.
"Hn." was Sasuke's reply.
"Gee, whats his problem today? He usually at lest says 'hey'?" Naruto asked Sakura.
"I dont know, he's been like that all morning, mabey he's just didn't get a good nights sleep?" Sakura said, trying to come up with any excuse why Sasuke could be acting like that.
"Hmm, hey Sakura, I have an idea." Naruto said with a smirk.
Sakura wasn't sure she was going to like it but she leaned closer, "What is it?" she asked.
Naruto then leaned over and whispered into her ear. "So, what do you think?" Naruto asked.
"I think it could work." Sakura said with a smirk. They then put there plan into action.
"Hey Sakura, mabey Sasuke's upset because he realized he couldn't beat me." Naruto said with a broad smile.
"Hmm, that could be it." Sakura said thoughtfully.
"I bet he couldn't even beat you now that you started training." Naruto said in a serious manor.
"You know, your probably right, I could kick his butt!" Sakura said enthusiastically.
Sasuke was fuming, "First he thinks I cant beat him, then he think's I cant beat Sakura? Who does he think I am? I'm an Uchiha!" sasuke thought angrily as he stood up. "Hey, dobe you think you can beat me? Then how about a spar?" Sasuke asked confidently.
"Hmm, I think that's a good idea." Naruto said with a smirk. Sasuke smirked back and they both walked out to the middle of the clearing.
As they both got into fighting stances, Sakura walked up, "Ok, anything is allowed except killing blows. Understand?" she asked, receiving nods in return. "Then, begin!" she said then jumped back to a safe distance.
As soon as they heard begin, they both charged forwards, Naruto sucked under a sound house kick, dodged a few punches, then tried to his Sasuke with a punch to the face, but he dodged to the side. Then he tried to hit Sasuke with a quick leg sweep, but Sasuke jumped over it, Naruto smirked, Sasuke realized what happened, but it was to late to dodge the kick that was about to connect with his side.
Naruto smirked, he got him, then his foot connected….with a log? "substitution!" thought, then looked around and spotted Sasuke crouched on a tree branch. "Hm, not bad dobe." Sasuke said smirking.
"Your not so bad your self Uchiha." Naruto said as he returned the smirk.
Sasuke went through handsigns which Naruto recognized, "Fire style grand fireball jutsu!" he said then launched a large fireball at Naruto at great speeds. It seared the ground as it approached Naruto. Sasuke smirked when it connected, then it dawned on him, he just incinerated a Konoha ninja!
Sasuke jumped down and ran towards the where thee fireball had hit, but was suddenly kicked in the chin, sending his airborne, courtesy of Naruto.
Sasuke righted himself in the air and looked at Naruto in shock, "You made me think I killed you!" he said in anger.
"You know what they say, deception is the ninja's best friend." Naruto said with a smile.
Sasuke growled, but then smirked, Naruto was right, he should of caught that, after all Sakura could of dodged that fireball, its not really like Naruto couldn't have.
It was then it hit Sasuke, everything they said about him being weak, was to get him in a better mood, by sparing with Naruto. It was a little crazy, but it worked. "So they went through all that trouble just cause I was in a bad mood?" Sasuke couldn't understand it, would he of done the same for them? Probably not, he would of just sat there.
Sasuke smiled, not a smirk, or a fake smile, but a real genuine smile, "Well done, I cant believe that was all just to put me in a better mood, Sasuke said as he walked towards Naruto. When he got there he held out his had, "Thanks Naruto.
Naruto smiled, but he new Sasuke was up to something, but none the less, he took Sasuke's hand, "Sure, anytime." but as soon as the words left his mouth, he found himself being flipped over Sasuke's shoulder and slammed into the ground. "I guess we should of ended the spar first." Naruto said as he started to get up, taking Sasuke's hand for help.
"Spar over?" Naruto asked Sasuke.
"Spar over." Sasuke confirmed. Just as they were about to go sit down, Kakashi appeared in his usual puff of smoke, "Sorry I'm late, but I got…" Kakashi started with his usual excuse, but never finished as he looked around at the training grounds, there were scorch marks on the ground, a broken log, and a crater in the ground that looked like a fireball hit. He turned his head back to his team "Do I even want to know?" he asked,
"No, you don't." they all replied.
Kakashi just shrugged his shoulders, "Ok then, lets go get a mission." he said, then took off lazily in the direction of the Hokage tower. Team seven on his heals. When they arrived the secretary saw them, "The Hokage is in a meeting at the moment, but should be done in a few minutes, if you would have a seat." she said as she motioned towards the chairs in the waiting area. Team seven sat down and waited patiently. After a few minutes a jounin squad came out of the office, and team seven entered.
The Hokage looked when the door opened, "Ah Kakashi, what can I do for you and your team?" he asked kindly.
"Hmm, he seems to be in a good mood today." Naruto thought absentmindedly.
"Well Hokage sama, we're here for a mission." Kakashi stated his eyes never leaving his book.
"that book is really getting on my nerves." was Naruto's thoughts who new what was in the book.
"I wonder what is in that book that sensei is so interested in?" were the thoughts of Sakura, and Sasuke's were along the same line as Sakura's.
"Hmm, a mission, lets see, I have helping tend a garden, give a few dogs baths, oh or there's catching tora the cats escaped…..again." the Hokage listed off the missions that were laid in front of him.
Naruto almost wanted to take the capture tora mission just so he could kill that cat….almost. "Hey old man…" Naruto received glares from Sakura and Iruka for the lack of respect, but he ignored them, "…I think we can handle a higher rank mission, at least a low C-rank, please?" Naruto asked while doing the puppy eyes jutsu.
"Naruto, the reason you are given low rank missions is because you need to build your team work, without that any higher rank missions would be a disaster." Iruka lectured in his 'teacher' voice.
Sarutobi looked at Kakashi, "What do you think Kakashi?" he asked.
"Well, I think we could handle a low C-rank mission." Kakashi said lazily.
"Well ok, I have the perfect mission for you, its intel gathering in stone country, we have reason to believe that there is a group of nuke nin hiding out in a small village there, all the details are in your mission scroll." Sarutobi said as he handed Kakashi a scroll. "you leave tomorrow morning, and have two weeks to complete the mission." Sarutobi said. He then smiled in amusement as Naruto was nearly jumping for joy, Sasuke was smiling, welcoming the challenge, even Sakura was happy. "dismissed." Sarutobi said as he went back to his paperwork.
"ok, meet at the gate at 7 tomorrow." Kakashi told them, before walking away. After team seven said there goodbye's, they went to pack there supplies.
Sasuke arrived at the Uchiha compound, and walked into the storage room where he kept all his equipment, he grabbed his backpack and looked around, he got an extra box of shuriken and kunai, he grabbed some explosive notes, and a spare change of clothes, some ninja wire, and a few other odds and ends. After topping off his shuriken and kunai pouches, he set his backpack by the door and went to get something to eat.
Sakura arrived at her house and went to her room to pack for the mission, at first she grabbed shampoo, a hair brush, makeup, and other things that she didn't mean, but then after looking at her bag, she realized she packed for a vacation not a mission. So she emptied everything out. Then after thinking about it for a little bit, she put in a box of shuriken and kunai, a change of clothes and a few other things. She then walked downstairs put her bag next to the door, and sat down at the table to eat lunch.
After finishing lunch, she went outside to start training.
Naruto arrived at his apartment via shun shin, he walked over to his closet, and opened it, he reached back though the clothes and touched the wall, he then channeled some chakra into the wall and out popped a scroll, he looked at it and it said, 'Mission scroll, C-rank.' Naruto always kept mission scrolls on hand in case he was called on an emergency mission, after sealing the scroll into a containment seal on the inside of one of his pockets on his pants he went to go eat some lunch, but after thinking about it for a little, while, he decided that he should pack a backpack so no one would get suspicious of him not having any equipment, or that he new sealing.
So he packed a backpack with shuriken, kunai, ninja wire, explosive notes, and a change of clothes. After finishing that, he went into the kitchen and started to cook something to eat for lunch.
Hokage's office
Anko walked into the Hokage's office looking slightly troubled, "ah, Anko, what has you troubled?" Hiruzen asked.
"Well, I wanted to report something." Anko said.
Sarutobi was listening, Anko only reported things when they bothered her, "Ok, what is it?"
"Well, I was in the forest of death yesterday and I came across a civilian in there, when I found him he was face to face with a tiger, but didn't look the least bit scared, after I told him that the forest was dangerous and that it was for ninja only he thanked me for saving him and left, but a cant help but think he was hiding something." Anko explained.
"Hmm, that could be a problem, we don't need a civilian someplace that dangerous, what did he look like?" Sarutobi asked.
"Well, he was about 6-1 or 6-2, blond hair down to his shoulders, and deep blue eyes." Anko finished explaining.
After already reading about this when Naruto asked to use his training grounds he new who it was, but appearances had to be kept, "Hmm, thank you Anko, I will put someone on it." the Hokage said with a kind smile.
"Sure no problem." Anko said as she turned and left, although she still felt that there was something she wasn't getting.
Time skip next day 7:00
Team seven was already at the gate, all looking exited for the mission, although they all fully expected to wait another two mabey thre hours on there sensei, but then they saw Kakashi walk up to the gate, only 10 minutes late, "Who are you, and what did you do with Kakashi sensei?" Sakura asked.
Kakashi looked up from his book and sweat dropped, "Is it really that hard to believe I'm on time?" he asked.
"YES!" was team sevens answer.
"Well, in any case, lets go, it's a few days travel from here to stone country." Kakashi said the took off jumping through the woods, team seven on his heals.
They traveled for two days, and it went smoothly, then they came to where the land of fire bordered Ame, and they had to take to walking, as no one was allowed to pass the border except on the roads, they had been walking for about an hour when they all sensed a group of people hiding in the bushes along the road, but since they didn't know if they were after them they all just walked past them.
Just as they walked past two bandits jumped out, and immediately tried to run Kakashi through with there spears, but he ducked under them, never taking his eyes off his book. The bandits tried to regain there balance as they didn't count on missing and it only took a second or two, but that's all Sasuke needed to be on them, he smashed one in the jaw with his fist, then spun into a kick, that sent them both flying.
Just as he finished that, around 10 more bandits jumped out of the bushes and encircled them. One that was holding a mace on a chain, charged at Sakura while swinging his mace, he swung it at her, but she dodged to the side, as he was recovering from missing, she ran up and punched him in the stomach, making him double over in pain, but just as he did, she brought her knee up to meet his face, sending him sprawling on the ground.
Naruto looked at her proudly, had it been a two or even one week ago, she probably would have been dead. But he had no time to ponder on that as two charged at him, on with a sword, and the other with a pair of knives, the one with the sword swung at his side, but he jumped over the blade, as soon as he landed he leaned to the side to avoid having his head pierced by a knife.
He then moved backwards to avoid a downward strike from the sword, then before the man had time to pull the sword away, Naruto jumped forward, head butting the man making him stumble back. Then he dodged threw a few knife strikes, and when the man over extended when he dodged a strike to his shoulder, he grabbed the mans arm, and twisted it making him drop the knife, the man tried to stab Naruto in the leg with his other knife, but Naruto caught his wrist with his other hand, and applied enough force to make the man drop it, he then kick the man in the back of the knee, forcing him onto his knees, then knocked him out with a chop to the back of the neck.
Kakashi looked suspiciously at Naruto, just for a moment during that brief engagement he saw his eyes change, into those of a battle hardened shinobi, but it was gone so quickly he thought he imagined it.
After all the bandits grouped back up, at least the two that weren't unconscious, they all charged at once…
well here it is, im pretty happy with how it turned out.
leo, what you pointed out was a good point, i should of explained it better, but here is a little back story, the council had pushed sarutobi into organizing the teams, so they could be apart of it, and they thought sasuke would be the rookie of the year, and sakura would be top kunoichi, and by his grades, naruto would be deadlast, so thats how they arranged it, and even though they werent happy about naruto being on the same team as sasuke, sarutobi forced it, as it was the rules. hope that helps a little.
