Important Mission
Hokage offices
3rd Hokage spoke, "Kakashi's team, your next mission is babysitting an elder's grandson, shopping in a neighboring village, and helping with the potato digging." "No!" Naruto interrupted him crossing his arms making and X, "No thank you! I want to do, you know, a more incredible mission! Find us a better one!" He yelled out, getting his frustration out. Sasuke silently agree with Naruto and Hinata did too. Kakashi lower his head thinking I thought it was about time he'd complain, boy I'm going to be in trouble. Iruka stood up and yelled, "You idiot! You're just rookies; everyone starts off with the simple duties and works their way up!" Naruto than yelled, "But, we keep getting the crappiest-possible mission…!" Bang… Kakashi hit Naruto on the head before he could continue knocking him to the ground. Kakashi than said, "Be quiet, you," as Hinata whisper, "Naruto." "Naruto (Naruto starts rubbing his head) It seems I have to explain to you what these mission are all about," the 3rd Hokage started explaining. Naruto look up as did.
"Listen, everyday the village receives numerous requests, from babysitting to assassination. Each request is written down on these lists and divided into an A, B, C, D ranking based on the difficulty. The village is also divided based on skill. From me down to the Jounins Kakashi, Chunnins Iruka, and Genins you guys. The missions are then handed out by us at the top to the ninjas, based on their abilities. Jounin are given A's, Chuunin B's and C's, while Genin get C's and D's. If the duty is completed successfully, we receive payment from the client. You guys just recently became Genin. D-rank missions are perfectly suited for you guys… Huh?"
"So yesterday I had pork ramen, so miso sounds good for…", said Naruto to his team, which was listening intently. "Listen", Yelled Hokage! Kakashi immediately put his hand on the back of his neck and stammered out, "I-I apologize". Hinata blushed and stammered her apologizes too, while Sasuke look like he could care less. Naruto finally brought up his attention to the Hokage and said, "Geez! All you do is give lectures like that, but you know what!? I'm not the troublemaking brat you still think I am!" He than turn around and started to pout with his arm crossed on chest. Kakashi than thought in his mind, I'm going to get yelled at later for this…. To Kakashi surprise Iruka and the Hokage just smiled at this outburst, and they thought He used to only be able to express himself through pranks… "Okay, I understand." Everyone heads snap up and look at the Hokage in surprise.
"If you want it that much, I'll give you a C-rank mission. It's the protection of a certain individual", Hokage finished. Naruto turn around and immediately became excited saying, "Really!? Who, who? A noble lord or princess!?" Hokage interrupted saying, "Calm down. I'm about to introduce him. Will you come in here?"
Team 7 turn there heads around to the door opening, to find a drunken old man. The drunken old man had a grey beard and brown eyes with glasses. He was standing in the doorway saying, "What? They're all a bunch of brats, especially the shortest one with the stupid-looking face. Are you really a ninja?" Naruto started laughing than to his sides saying, "Who's the shortest one with the stupid face…Huh." Sasuke thought to himself idiot! Hinata was trying to say something to Naruto when Sasuke grab her arm to bring her closer to Naruto. Than Naruto saw for himself he was shortest, Hinata was maybe 3 inches taller and Sasuke was a foot taller. Naruto was about to run up to him and punch him screaming, "I'll kill you!" However Kakashi grab his shirt saying, "What's the point of killing the person we're supposed to protect? Idiot!" The drunken man decided now to talk, "I am the super bridge construction expert Tazuna. I expect you to provide me with super protection until I get back to my country and complete the bridge." Hinata than decide to introduce themselves to him too by saying, "I'm Hyuuga Hinata, this is Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi Sensei, Uzumaki Naruto." Tazuna than said, "At least one of them has manners." Naruto was still struggle to kill Tazuna as Kakashi said, "All right everybody get your stuff pack and meet me in front of Konoha gates in an hour."

In Front of Konoha Gates
Naruto was excited about his first real mission as a ninja and scream, "All right! Let's go!" Sasuke replied, "Dope, what are you so excited about?" Naruto start to look around and said, "Because I've never left the village before. And it a bright and sunny day for a mission" Tazuna than pointed to him, while looking at Kakashi and said, "Hey, Am I really going to be safe with this brat?" Naruto look really pissed while Kakashi just laugh and said, "Well, I am a Jounin. Don't worry." Naruto thought to himself Damn it, this geezer is the worst possible client. Hinata than said in Naruto defense, "W-we will work really hard to protect you." Naruto look gleefully at Hinata, making Hinata blush. Naruto than thought he should finish off by saying, "Hey, geezer! Don't disrespect ninjas I'm incredible!" He than pointed toward him and said, "One day I will take on the super-elite ninja title Hokage! Remember it!" Tazuna took a big swallow of his drink and than look at Naruto and said, "Hokage is the village's number one super ninja, right? I doubt someone like you could become it…." Naruto was really getting piss by this old geezer and shouted, "Shut up! I am prepared to do anything to become Hokage! Once I become Hokage, even you will acknowledge me!" Tazuna just said, "No I won't, you brat. Even if you did become Hokage." Naruto tried to punch him but Kakashi stop him by grabbing his backpack.

Few minutes Later
"Ummm Tazuna", Hinata ask quietly. Tazuna look over to the quiet girl and said, "What." "Umm, y-you're from the Wave Country, right?" He replied, "Yes, what about it?" Hinata than turn to Kakashi and asked, "Do they have ninjas in that country too?" Kakashi answered, "No, not in the Wave County, but in most other countries, the culture and customs may be different, but hidden villages exist, and so do ninjas. To many countries of the continent, the existence of shinobi village means military power. This is how they hold and maintain advantages over each other. It's not that the villages rule the countries; they merely stand equally with the country's government. A small island country like the Wave Country doesn't receive much interference from the larger countries and may not need a shinobi village. Within the many countries that have shinobi villages, Fire, Water, Thunder, Wind, and Earth are large and powerful, and thus are referred to as the Great Five Shinobi Countries. The Fire Country, Hidden Leaf Village, Water Country, Hidden Mist Village, Thunder Country, Hidden Cloud Village, Wind Country, Hidden Sand Village, and the Earth Country, Hidden Stone Village, only the leaders of these villages are allowed to receive the name "Kage": Hokage, Mizukage, Raikage, Kazekage, and Tsuchikage. These five are referred to as the "Five Kage." They reign over the thousand of ninjas in the world.
Naruto said, "Amazing", but was actually thinking it has to be a lie the 3rd Hokage is a Geezer. "Hey", Kakashi said, bring Naruto out of his thoughts. "Did you guy just doubted Hokage," Kakashi finished. Naruto shake his head saying no. Kakashi than put his hand on Hinata head and said, "Don't worry there won't be any ninja combat in a C-rank mission." Hinata sound a bit relieved saying, "Then, we w-won't come in contact with foreign ninjas?" Kakashi laugh and said, "Of course not."

Minutes Later
Team 7 was walking when Hinata knew something bad was going to happen because she had a feeling, but couldn't figure it out what. She continues walking even if she had this feeling, because she thought she was imaging it. Splash… Naruto jump into a puddle and ran to front laughing because he splash Sasuke. Sasuke growl and sent kunai at Naruto head. Luckily Naruto dodge it as Kakashi put up his hands and said nervously, "Please, don't use your throwing knives so abusively. It dangerous in the first place." Tazuna, Hinata, and Kakashi sweat dropped.
Hinata continue having this bad feeling until she heard metal clanking against itself and look around to find Kakashi getting wrapped in a spike chain whip. Sasuke and Naruto turn around to find out Kakashi in that state with two ninja holding the chain whip. The ninjas had gas mask on with black spike hair and on there arm they had this gauntlet looking claws that connect to the chain. The ninjas than shouted together, "One down!", as Kakashi was cut to pieces by the chain.
Hinata shriek as Naruto yelled out, "Kakashi Sensei"! Suddenly the two ninja appear behind Naruto as the ninjas said, "Two down." Naruto was freaking out by now and didn't know what to do. Hinata shouted for Naruto to run, but it seems he didn't hear her. Sasuke than decide to take the situation into control and jump into action. He jump into the air and took out a Shurikens and a kunai, and he threw the Shurikens first than the kunai. The Shurikens stop the chain whip and pin it into a tree while the kunai lock it in place. Hinata ran toward Naruto as Sasuke was doing this and grab Naruto and move him to where Tazuna was at. Sasuke landed on the men gauntlets that held the chain whip. He than kick both the ninja in the faces sending them flying to the ground. Naruto watch Sasuke thinking wow. The ninja soon recovered and rush to where Naruto and Hinata was now trying to guard Tazuna. The two ninja lunge at Tazuna as Hinata push him back and was ready with her Jyuuken, but Kakashi appeared before she could attack and stopped the two. Sasuke had only one thing going though his mind Show-off. Naruto look back to where Kakashi suppose remains were at and saw logs in replace of body parts. He used Kawarim (Replacement jutsu)
"Naruto, sorry I didn't save you sooner, I got you injured, but I didn't think you would freeze like that", Kakashi said. Naruto look at his hand and saw a cut, Hinata immediately went over to him to examine the cut. Kakashi that said, "Anyway, nice job, Sasuke and Hinata." As Hinata examine his cut Naruto reflected. I couldn't do anything, yet Sasuke was… It was his first real battle. Was he not scared at all? He looks as if nothing happened and so does Hinata. They don't have even a speck of dust on them and they saved me.
Kakashi than turn to Tazuna and said, "By the Way, Tazuna…" Tazuna look taken aback and reply, "Wh-what is it?" Kakashi Sensei said, "I need to talk to you." He than began tying the ninjas up as he said, "These look like Hidden Mist Chuunins, these shinobis are known to continue fighting no matter what." The two ninja than demanded, "How did you read our movement?" Kakashi reply, "On a sunny day like this when it hasn't rained in days, there's not going to be a puddle."
Tazuna than had a question for Kakashi, "If you knew that, why did you let the brats fight?" He replies, "If I had wanted to, I could have killed these two instantly, but… He than look at Tazuna suspiciously, "There was something I needed to find out, who these two were after." Tazuna than said, "What do you mean?" Kakashi than turn to Tazuna and said, "In other words, was their target you or was we the ones being targeted. That's what I mean. We hadn't heard that there were any shinobis after you. Our mission was simply to protect you from thieves or gangs. This has now become at least a B-rank mission. Your request was just for simple protection until you completed the bridge. If it was known that ninjas were after you this mission would have been set as the more expensive B-rank. I'm sure you had a reason, but it causes problems when you lie about the mission. We are now operating outside of our duties."
Sasuke than turn to Naruto and said to him, "Hey, you all right? Sacredly-cat…" Hinata look at Sasuke and just shake her head at him until she notice something. Naruto was going to punch Sasuke when Hinata shouted, "Naruto don't move!" Naruto and the other looked startled from Hinata outburst. Hinata continue, "Their claws must have been soaked in poison. I have to remove it quickly." Kakashi than ask Hinata, "How? Do you have medicine?" Hinata replied, "No we must open the wound and release the poisoned blood from your body Naruto. So don't move so much or the poison will spread." Kakashi than said, "We'll need medicine for Narrator's wound after we remove the poison. We should go back to the village and take him to a doctor. This might just be too much…." Naruto look at Kakashi than at Hinata, he was angry at himself for putting them in this situation.
He grabs one of his kunai and stabbed it into his wound, surprising everyone. Hinata stammered out, "N-Naruto! W-what are you d-doing!?" He step back thinking why is there so much of a difference? Why am I always… Damn it! I should be becoming stronger I've completed many mission, and I practice jutsu everyday. I'm not going to need saving ever again. I'm not going to be afraid, and try to run away… I won't lose to Sasuke. I swear it on this pain in my left hand. "With this kunai, I'll protect the old man!" Smiling he continue, "We're continuing the mission!" Hinata than said, "N-Naruto, it's good to r-remove the poison, b-but any more blood and you'll d-die from b-blood loss," Naruto began to tremble and sweat all over. Hinata rush over after she said that to stop the bleeding. He began waving his other hand and started yelling, "No, no! I can't die like this!" Huh, the wound is already healing!? That can't be possible! There something special about Naruto, Hinata thought. "H-hey, hey, am I okay? Your f-face is s-so serious…", said Naruto in a hushed voice. Hinata blush and started wrapping up Naruto hand, "You'll be j-just fine."
