A/N : Hey here is chapter 2 on Born to Be. short on purpose do to a long upcoming chapter. THX FOR THE SUPPORT!
Naruto sat on a tree above 200 of his clones going through kata's, he had at least 500 more doing other training tasks, but he wasn't really paying attention to them.
What naruto was paying attention to was the duplicate scroll he had just been given by one of his clones, it read 'Forbidden scroll of sealing' and had multiple signatures of previous hokage, ending with the most resent, 4th.
When naruto had iruka and the scroll brought back to the hokage, he had his clone make another clone and together they copied down most of the jutsu and seals onto a separate scroll. That of course was now the scroll that naruto held, he skimmed through it casually before making 50 clones and assigning them to memories everything in the scroll, he would focus on learning what he wanted from it at a later time.
So far naruto had yet to actually go into konoha himself, everything he did, the missions, the team training, everything had been done with clones. Though today was the day team 8 got their first c-rank mission, and naruto had decided to go back into his once hated village once again.

Naruto walked through the crowds of people staring at him with his mask down, he didn't really care if the civilians still hated him, he was used to not getting along with people. He hadn't actually spoken out loud in years, he had his clones handle conversations, he really disliked normal people, the only person he really talked too much was kyuubi, who wasn't the most pleasant of friends.
From what he learned, from his d-rank missions, his team were also pretty timid, but also nice and caring, which weren't traits naruto thought himself to have. Maybe he would stay, as long as no one steps on his toes that is.
Naruto approached the hokage tower, standing outside was his team, who greeted him with nods and or smiles, after grouping they headed upstairs to acquire their first C-Rank mission.
As the team made their way upstairs sounds of yelling and arguing could be heard in the hokage's office, when they arrived inside they noticed the hokage sitting rubbing his temples in his chair whilst an older women squeezed the life out of her cat, off to the side team 7 stood yelling about wanting a c rank mission, sasuke didn't actually yell as much as brood, but with kiba and Sakura they made up for it quite well.
Their sensei, a tall white haired man cut them off from their babbling with a stern yell "Enough! Alright, i know you want a c-rank mission, but their is no reason to get this worked up over it". Sakura and kiba hung their heads whilst sasuke could be heard mumbling some sort of 'hn', kakashi continued "though, i do agree our team is very strong, and i believe we are ready for a simple c-rank mission hokage-sama".
"alright kakashi-san, but one moment, let me check with team 8, they are here to obtain a c-rank mission as well . after responding to kakashi the hokage turned his attention to kurenai and her students, who all stood in a straight line with straight faces, though a certain pale eyed girl was also poking her fingers together nervously under the stare of the proclaimed 'professor', "kurenai-san, is your team ready for a c-ranked mission as well?"
kurenai looked at the 3 genin she that were starting to grow on her and spoke "Yes hokage sama i believe with our strong close combat and sneak attack combo we have a very strong genin team, along with naruto-kun already having a high B-rank mission under his belt, not to mention shino and Hinata both being from 2 of the strongest clans in Konoha, we are more then ready, sir".
With that a smile crept across the old mans face, he noticed all of team 7 in shock, probably from hearing about naruto's B-rank completion, though he suspected that they would soon understand why he was able to complete that with such ease. "Now, normally i would hand this mission out to one team, but because i did some research on it and found something that puts the mission at the highest possible level c-rank, i will give you, team 7 and team 8, a joined op mission, your client is Tazuna, please show him in.
As requested the door swung open and a slightly intoxicated man walked in with some kind of alcoholic beverage in hand. When the man stumbled in he looked straight at the 6 12 year olds beside him, and spat out "Kids, their just kids, how are they supposed to protect me, the almighty bridge builder Tazuna".
after a fed words of anger from kiba, who was held back by kakashi, the hokage cut in.
"please Tazuna trust that all of our ninja are ready for any mission they are on" the hokage pausing to take a puff of his pipe was cut off by the drunken man before him.
"Oh please, Look at this one (points at kiba) he carries around a dog, like a fruit, and then there's an emo, a pink haired little girl, a stupid Blondie, a shy wreck and this creepy glasses kid, what could they possibly do to anyone".
The hokage was about to respond when kakashi did instead, "Please Tazuna, do not worry, these kids have been trained for years in the art of combat, and if anything goes wrong you have me, hatake kakashi, the most beautiful konoha jonin around, also red eyes over there is a jonin as well but mostly, me". kakashi finished with a thumb pointing towards himself and an eye smile.
The sheer look of shock of the kids faces when kakashi completely serenaded himself with ego was astonishing, though kurenai was just smiling, probably holding back the urge to slit kakashi's throat.
kurenai regained her composure and addressed the room, "alright meet at the front gate 9AM tomorrow morning, dismissed".
