It was a sunny day out as we heat voices over some radios.

"This is Sasuke, arrived at point B."

"This is Sakura, arrived at point C"

"This is Ai, arrived at point D"

"This is Naruto, arrived at point A"

"You're slow Naruto." Came Kakashi's voice over the radio "Okay 7th unit…" A black shadow was seen jumping out of the trees "The target has moved. After it." Rustling noises were heard in the bushes and every one was seen poking their heads out of the trees.

"Okay he's here" Naruto replied every one went forwards farther and their backs against the trees.

Kakashi was talking over the radio "What's the distance to the target?"

"Five meters. I'm ready to go." Naruto replied

"I am, too." Sasuke replied

"Me too." Sakura replied

"I'm ready." Ai replied

"Okay." Kakashi said his eye then widened "GO!" With that every one then took off Naruto then grabbed the cat from behind.

"I got you!" The cat then began struggling which meant it started scratching Naruto. Sakura watched this with funny seen. Ai was confused but was standing next to Sasuke who was reporting in with Kakashi over the radio.

"Does it have a ribbon on it's right ear? Is it our target Tora?" The cat was still scratching Naruto in the background.

"It's the target for sure." The cat then started stomping Naruto in the head.

We then go back to Kakashi "Okay. "Operation Capture Tora the Lost Pet" complete."

The Naruto's loud voice came over the radio "Isn't there a more exciting mission we can work on!" The sound was so loud it cased a ringing noise and Kakashi almost fell over.

Important Mission! Heading to the Country of the Wave!

We then return to the Hokage's office were a fat lady was hugging the cat "Ohh, my cute Tora-chan. I was so worried about you!" We then get a subtitle of who she is and that's She's the wife if the Fire's Feudal Lord Madam Shijimi.

They watched as the cat was smothered 'That cat's getting what he deserves.' Naruto thought.

Sakura then whispered into Ai's ear "No wonder why it ran away." Ai nodded her head in agreement.

The Hokage then started speaking "Now then, Kakashi's 7th unit's next mission is… Babysitting Yojyu-sama's boy, Grocery shopping at the neighboring town, Helping dig up potatoes at…" He was then interrupted

"No!" Naruto screamed he then crossed is arms to look like an X "No thanks to all of those. I want a more exciting mission! Choose something else!"

'There's some truth to that.' Sasuke thought

'Naruto-kun is right I want something more exciting… though baby sitting wouldn't be too bad.' Sakura thought

Ai stared blankly 'I have a feeling I should be paying attention.'

Kakashi sighed 'I knew he was going to do this soon.'

Iruka then put his hands down on the table "Baka! You're still a novice ninja! Everyone needs to start with the easy missions to gain experience!"

"But, but…! We've only been doing dumb missions lately!" Kakashi then hit him on the back of the head. Naruto was now face planted into the floor.

"Cut it out." Kakashi said.

"Naruto!" The Hokage called. Naruto then sat back up and began rubbing the back of his head. "It looks like I need to explain to you what missions are." Naruto then looked up at him confused "Listen, a lot of clients come to this village every day. They request things from baby sitting to assassinations." He then looked down at all his scrolls all labeled but this author isn't going to get into that.

"On a request list, a variety of requests are listed on it and they are separated into ranks A, B, C, and D according to difficulty." We then see a chart "In this village, we separate the people into Jounins, Chuunins, and Genins according to their abilities." The peoples faces appeared were their rank was. And then we go to another chart. "We higher officials assign the missions to ninja with the appropriate abilities." The A ranks had a line going to Jounin the B and C ranks had lines going to Chuunin and the C and D ranks had lines going to Genin.

"And if we complete the mission, we receive a fee from the client." We see Madam Shijimi pay for her mission. The Hokage then pointed to them "You have all become Genins just recently, so D rank missions are best for you." But the Hokage realized that no one was listening to him and Naruto was still sitting on the floor talking to every one.

"I had tonkotsu ramen yesterday, so I'm going to eat a miso ramen today."

"Listen!" The Hokage yelled at them.

Every one turned towards him Kakashi scratched the back of his head "I am sorry." Naruto then turned around to face him.

"You always lecture me like that, Oji-san. But I'm not the kid who used to pull pranks anymore!" Naruto the humped and turned away from the Hokage.

Kakashi sighed again and rubbed the back of his head 'I'm going to get scolded later…'

Iruka and the Hokage laughed a bit at this 'He was only able to express himself through pranks, but…' The Hokage thought but then spoke "Okay, I understand." Everybody perked up a bit at this "If you insist… I will allow you to take on a C ranked mission. It's to escort a certain person."

Naruto looked back "Really." The here comes the spas attack "Who? Who? The feudal lord? Or a princess?"

Ai blinked a few times 'Does he really believe that those people would possibly be a C rank mission?'

"Don't get so hasty. I'll introduce him now. Can you please come in now!" He yelled everyone then looked behind them to the door. The door then slid open.

"What? They're all kids!" He then took a drink of his sake. The old man face was red from drinking and he wore a large backpack on his back. "Hey, is the smallest one there with the idiotic face really a ninja?"

Naruto laughed at this. He then looked at the others "Who's the smallest one with the idiotic face?" Every body looked at him and he stopped smiling. Everybody stepped closer to him and imaginary lines went through and stopped until it reached the smallest one… which was Naruto.

He was very mad about this "I'm going to kill you!" Naruto screamed He was being held back by Kakashi.

"Don't kill the man you're supposed to escort, baka."

He took another gulp of his sake "I am the bridge building expert Tazuna. Once I return to my country, I will have all of you protect my life with yours while I complete the bridge."

Somewhere else a shadow was seen running through the forest. We then join our hero's at the gate of Konoha. Naruto was ahead of them he then pumped his fists into the air "All right! Let's go!"

"Hey, how come your so excited Naruto?" Sakura asked.

Naruto the looked around "Because I've never gone outside the village before."

Tazuna then pointed at him "Hey, will this kid really be capable of this mission?" Tazuna asked Naruto was pissed at that.

Kakashi laughed "I, a Jounin, will be accompanying you. There's no need to worry." A dark aura was around Naruto.

'Will a kid like this really be capable…' Echoed in his head her crossed his arms and his eye twitched 'This geezer is the worst client ever. I need to say something.'

Ai was over near him wile he was in thought "Umm Naruto-kun are you…"

"Hey, geezer, don't underestimate ninjas!" Ai backed off at the sudden explosion "I'm a great ninja! I'm the elite ninja who will receive the title of Hokage some day. The name is Uzumaki Naruto. Remember it!"

And now we see a black shadow running threw the forest again.

Tazuna took another sip of his Sake "Hokage is the village's number one ninja right? I don't think a guy like you can become one."

Naruto shouted back "Shut up! I'm willing to go through any hardship to become Hokage! If I become Hokage, you'll have to take notice of me."

Tazuna looked over at him "I won't kid. That is, even if you become a Hokage."

Naruto was then being held back by Kakashi again "I'm going to kill you."

"Stop it, baka." Kakashi said wile Naruto struggled

"No! No! Let me at least hit him once!"

We then see the shadows two ninjas look upon the unsuspecting group.

Later

"Nee, Tazuna-san." Sakura asked

"What is it?"

"You're from the Country of the Wave, right?"

"What about it?"

"Kakashi-sensei, are there also ninja in that country?" Sakura asked Kakashi.

Kakashi replied "No, there are no ninja in the Country of the Wave. But while the culture and customs of other countries may be different, hidden villages and ninja do exist."

We now see a scroll (Man there are a lot of scrolls today) that shows a map. "To the many countries that exist on this land… the existence of ninja villages is the equivalent of the country's military power. In other words, that is how they are able to maintain the relationship with neighboring countries. But the villages aren't under control of that country. They are supposedly equal in position. On a small island like the Country of the wave, were it is difficult to be influenced by other countries… There is no need for a ninja village."

Ai's voice then interrupted him "What about the Kages?"

"I'm getting there be patient. Were was I oh yes. Among the countries that have a ninja village… Since the five countries of fire, water, lightning, wind, and earth…" As he said them the emblems of the hidden villages appeared on the places on the map. "… occupy a large mass of land and their powers are immense, they are known as the Five Great Ninja Powers. Country of Fire's Hidden Village of Konoha. Country of Water's Hidden Village of Mist. Country of Lightning's Hidden Village of Cloud. Country of Wind's Hidden Village of Sand. Country of Earth's Hidden Village of Rock." All the emblems lined up as he said there names.

"Only the leader of each hidden village is allowed to carry the name of "Kage". Hokage, Mizukage, Raikage, Kazekage, and Tsuchikage (I laughed at this one), otherwise know as the "Five Kages", are the ninjas that reign over the tens of thousands of ninja that exist in the countries throughout the world."

Sakura then smiled "Wow, so Hokage-sama must be a great man!" Inner Sakura then popped up 'Is that old geezer really such a great man as he says he is? Sounds fishy…'

Ai was then thinking about something else 'So Hokage-sama rules over all the ninjas in the village… I wonder how much that is…. Mehhh my head hurts trying to think about it.'

Naruto was having a flashback moment 'It must be a lie, yes, a lie.' He nodded his head but his thoughts were then interrupted by Kakashi.

"Hey." They all stopped "You all just doubted Hokage-sama, didn't you?" Naruto and Sakura shock there heads no.

Kakashi then put his hands on Sakura's and Ai's heads "Don't worry. We won't have any ninja battles in a C-ranked mission."

Sakura smiled "So there's no worry in meeting a foreign ninja."

Tazuna looked worried and Sasuke and Ai seemed to notice this "Of course." Kakashi replied and laughed

OK were going to fast forward here to here we are there walking past a puddle Kakashi notices it they pass it and the ninjas from before come out of the puddle and he troughs his partner at them.

The chains then wrapped around Kakashi and everybody watched in shock as Kakashi was torn to pieces (OMG) "Second one" Naruto then looked behind him to see them. The enemy ninja's chains were all jingling and stuff.

The Sasuke leaps into action (Sasuke: Not funny… SM:3) He then throws a shirken at the chains so they then get stuck to the tree, he then throws the kunai in the center of the shuriken. So the ninjas were now stuck Sasuke then landed on top of the two ninja's claws. He then kicked them in the faces. (Belch battles not my strong point). The ninjas then separated one went after Naruto and the other when towards the bridge builder.

'He's coming.' Sakura thought 'I have to do it…. I have to do it.' Sakura then took out a kunai and got in front of Tazuna "Stay back mister!" Then everything when in slow motion Ai appered in front of Sakura her fist in a ready position. But before the ninja got to the girls Kakashi intervened he got the ninja. Naruto looked up from the ground.

Kakashi just stood there "Yo!"

Well Sakura was all happy 'Kakashi-sensei! He's alive!'

Ai and Sasuke had smug looks 'show off.' They thought at the same time

Naruto then looked behind him "Then that was." There was logs were Kakashi was "Kakashi-sensei used the replacement jutsu.'

Kakashi then looked behind at Naruto "Naruto, sorry for not helping out right away. I got you hurt. I didn't think you wouldn't be able to move."

Tazuna let out a sigh of relive 'I'm saved…'

Kakashi then walked over to the others "Anyway, Sasuke, good job. Sakura, Ai, you guys to."

Meanwhile Naruto's mind was in turmoil 'I… couldn't do anything. But Sasuke was able to in his first real battle… He wasn't afraid at all? Are you saying he helped me with that calm face without soiling his cloths at all?'

Sasuke then looked back at Naruto "Yo." Naruto jumped a little in surprise "Are you hurt Mr. Scaredy Cat.'

Naruto then screamed "Sasuke!" But the Kakashi interrupted

"Naruto!" Naruto stopped because he was about to move before Kakashi spoke up. "There's poison on these guys' nails. We need to take the poison out right away."

"What?" Naruto then looked at his hand.

"We have to open up your wound and leech out the poisoned blood. Don't move that much, or the poison will spread through your body. By the way Tazuna-san…"

Tazuna then turned to Kakashi "W-what is it?"

"I need to talk to you."

A few moments later the enemy ninja were tied to the tree. And every one was standing around them weelll almost everyone Ai was just starting to look through her backpack.

"These guys are Chuunin-class ninja from the Hidden Village of Mist. They are ninjas known to keep fighting no mater what the cost."

"How were you able to detect our action?" One of the ninja's asked

"It hasn't rained for the past few days, and it's sunny today, so a water puddle shouldn't exist." Kakashi explained

"Why did you let the kids fight when you knew that?" Tazuna asked

"If I was up to it, I could have killed these two in the blink of an eye. But…" Kakashi then looked at Tazuna "I needed to know who the target for these two was."

"What do you mean?"

Kakashi then turned towards Tazuna "In other words, were you being targeted, or sometimes from our ninja group? We have not herd anything about you being targeted by ninja. Your request was protect you from armed groups like gangs and robbers. This is a mission that's above a B rank. Our job was to support and guard you until you complete the bridge. If a ninja are our enemy, this mission would have been an expensive B rank. It looks like you have your reasons, but it only trouble us if you lie in you request details. This wasn't apart of the mission."

Sakura then spoke up "This mission is out of our league. Let's quit. We need anesthesia to take out the poisoned blood out of Naruto, too. We need to go back to the village and see a doctor!"

Kakashi looked at Naruto who was looking at his hand still. Naruto then looked back at Kakashi. "This sure is a burden. Let's go back to the village to cure Naruto," Naruto then glared. Kakashi then looked back a Naruto. Naruto lifted a Kunai.

"Ah I finally found it!" Ai spoke getting a first aide kit out of her bag. Ai looked up just in time to see Naruto stick the kunai into his hand. And get freaked out about it like everyone else.

Why am I so different… Why am I always… Damn it!"

Sakura took a few steps forwards "Naruto, what are you doing?"

"I should be stronger… I've accomplished lots of missions and I've practiced techniques everyday…" Drip "I'm never going to" Drip "do something that will require someone to help me." Drip. "I'm never going to be frightened and try to back out of things. I'm not going to lose to Sasuke." Naruto still had the kunai in his hand "I vow that to this pain in my left hand. I'm going to protect the old man with this kunai!" Naruto the others and smiled "The mission is still on."

"Naruto, it's nice that you took out the poisoned blood so spiritedly…But you going to die from loss of blood if any more comes out." Kakashi said calmly.

Then there was awkward silence. Naruto's face then turned blue and he began to sweat… a lot. Naruto's hand was also shaking. Kakashi then appeared next to Naruto with his eye looking like this "It's not good if you don't stop it right away. Seriously." And with that Naruto began to panic.

He was shaking his hands furiously "No, no, no, no, no. no! I can't die like this!"

Sakura was now next to them "You scared me there for a second Naruto!" But Inner Sakura popped up "But you were still sooo cool Naruto-kun."

Ai was talking to Sasuke wile Kakashi checked Naruto's hand "Hey does this mean this isn't needed anymore?"

Sasuke looked at the first aide kit "You have anesthesia in there don't you?" Ai nodded "Why didn't you say something earlier?"

"Weeelllll Naruto was doing his speachy thingy so I didn't want to interrupt."

Sasuke looked at her blankly "You're a baka."

"I guess your right." Ai said blankly

Sasuke eye then twitched "Aren't you at least going to try and disagree?"

Ai then perked up "Do you want me to disagree?"

Kakashi then stared a them "Will you guys knock it off."
