Chapter 6 Waving to the wave

As the blond boy walks, or more like runs, towards the Hokagetower he's starts to feel a lot of the strain that his body often feels after a long day. Even with his healing-ability's, that he had learned about, he had learned a few sets of functions on the suit that he had grown very accustomed with. He had learned about a lot of these functions, and a few other things, after about a month though Rikka...

"Flashback about a month after the incident, in the Kages office"

Naruto was talking to the Hokage about his progress the past month and he wasn't happy with himself. Well first all of the weights he put on didn't affect his movements, they felt like they were non existent, a kind of large problem if you want to grow stronger.

The problem was in the suits systems, as it automatically compensated for the increase in weight, causing a lot of frustration to build up for Naruto.

"hey old man, you knew my pops, did he tell you anything about this thing at all, I mean you are the professor and all, so you must know about it." The blond was in a pissed state, as all attempts to get stronger didn't work. The Hokage just shook his head as he wondered how to solve his students problem. 'Gravity seals don't work either, as im sure the Naruto isn't ready for them yet, maybe when he is 8 or so but not earlier' he thought for himself

'Naruto, I have a thing I must ask you, could we meet in person.' Rikka asked, and Naruto mentally nodded Naruto found himself inside the mindscape of his mind, sitting by the lake. "Naruto, I have searched through all of the memory that you absorbed about a month ago and I found something interesting" Rikka said as she walked out from the house and sat down next to Naruto. "I have discovered a few things about the suit that I find very interesting...

As Naruto returned to reality, he suddenly started to make seals to the Kage bunshin. As he did this the Hokage noticed small amount of red chakra, followed by a large "Poff". As the smoke dispersed a clone was standing there, but it wasn't Naruto, as the old Kage almost gasped.

In front of him was a beautiful girl, probably as old as Naruto. Sarutobi noticed that the bunshin had a red tail, red fox ears within the beautiful red hair and a cute face that could make anyone scream Kawai. "Naruto, am I wrong or is this..." the Hokage started but was interrupted by the bunshin, that he presumed was the...

"Yes I am the Kyubi," at this the Hokage did a noticeable flinch. "but I am only a bunshin, I only have as much power as Naruto" which calmed the old man, and was about to ask why she was here but yet again, interrupted "Well I asked Naruto to summon me through Kage bunshin, so I could tell you that I have discovered a way for Naruto to become stronger, or at least solve the weight problem, so to speak" at this the Hokage raised a questioning eyebrow. "you see the suit is built to relieve the user of physical encumbered, by increasing the strength on the 'Muscles' to increase in power to compensate. This was because of the ancients, they weren't able to become as strong as we can. As such this system was integrated." Both the Hokage and Naruto nodded, both by different reasons, as she continued.

"...but that system can also be reversed. By reversing the function on the suit, you cause the system to restrain the body instead of relieving it." at which the Hokage looked questioningly. "let me explain. If your body can move at 100 speed, maybe 10 miles an hour, what happens when you restrain it to half that, 5 miles an hour. You get slower, right" she said getting a nod from the Hokage.

"Well if your restricted to move at 5 miles/h, when you train so your back at your usual speed, what happens when you release the restraint" she asked "Well you're speed multiples" he answered. "Correct, instead of 100 from you're usual speed, your at 200 of what you had" she said as she continued yet again. "if you keep on restraining the body to about ¼ your speed every time you reach your original, you only use ¼ of your top, am I right" she said as she let the Hokage understand what she meant.

Normally weights were used to increase a persons strength and speed, but since his suit nullified that ... at which he understood her implement. "So you mean that the suit is capable training him as easy as it helps him" he asked. Now it was Naruto who answered the old man "correct old man. This suit gives me many possible advantages over my enemies. I can switch between restraints and improvements without anyone knowing, giving me a massive array of surprises for those who haven't been fighting me before. And because the suit reacquires constant charging with chakra, my stores and control have already been increased, and I can control it a lot easier, but not good enough for any major Jutsu's, though" he said as he looked a bit depressed over his lack of control over his powers.

Sarutobi just chuckled "Well we all start from the bottom, even those who have very little chakra as well" he said as he looked at the two children standing in front of him, both nodding that he was right. "Well I have said everything I wanted to tell you, so if you don't mind id like to go back home, I have nothing left to share with you right now" she said as she turned her face at Naruto "See you later Naruto-kun" she said with a grin, as she disappeared in a cloud of smoke, but she still saw the confused Sarutobi's face. " See ya Rikka-chan" Naruto replied, waved good bye to the old man and went to training with Kakashi... after a quick stop at a certain stand he liked.

The Hokage just sat there in his chair, seemingly stunned what the Kyubi had said to him but also what she had called Naruto. "Naruto-kun, eh...seems like you found someone my boy..." he said to himself as he pulled out a little red-cover book, then sat there with a nosebleed and a smile.

End of flashback

As Naruto walked inside the Hokage's office he saw three people. One was the Hokage, sitting behind his desk, one was his silver-haired teacher/friend Kakashi, still holding his 'smut' book, and the last was a white hair man he knew as Jiraya the Sannin, or his personal favorite title, Ero-sennin.

Ever since he threw him in the wall he never underestimated his skill, well not overly, he still received a few beatings for his 'research', often resulting in a large number of broken bones, equally from him and the girls he was spying on.

He had also created the 'Orikone no jutsu', that could cause massive nosebleed to any pervert. Well that was true for all but one until now...

flashback, about 3 year in the academy

Naruto was talking with the Hokage about the problems of the village and about the council, cause he had been attacked again, but the only injured was the Anbu agent that had assaulted him. He had received some minor concussions and injury's, but that would be his smallest problem. He was now having a talk with Konoha's to most sadistic people.

As he was talking about how they should counter the 'problem', they were interrupted by the door flying up. "Today you're going down, old man" the young boy, Naruto recognized as Konohamaru, fell as he tripped on the long scarf. As he crashed on the floor, "What is it, six, seven..." he asked the old, now sighting heavily, man, that was . "i believe it is the Eight today, I wish he dedicated to train with the same determination" he said.

"Young master, are you okay" A man with round glasses walked/ran in front of the door. "We don't have time for this, we need to resume your training and..." he didn't finish as the boy stood up. "You..." he screamed as he pointed at Naruto "you tripped me". He yelled as he walked up to the blond while pointing at him, but as he got close Naruto grabbed him by the collar.

"Two things, Never ever blame another person for your own mistakes, and second, don't point at people, you might lose a finger or the whole arm for that" he said calmly still looking at the Hokage. The Hokage was not afraid as he knew the blond would never hurt anyone from the village if they didn't break any of the laws or rules Naruto had.

"Let go of the young master, he's the grandson of the Hokage" the man Naruto now recognized as Ebisu, standing in a fighting stance, pushing his glasses in place. At that Naruto lifted his head bit higher, which the Hokage interpreted as a question about what he should do. The Hokage just closed his eyes, puffed his pipe and nodded. Naruto, at this gave a creepy smile right after that, one that scared the young Konohamaru out of his pants, just as the blond started to turn his head at him.

"You know, Ebisu, even if the old man was his grandmother, I wouldn't care. He broke one of my rules, and that is punishable by..." at this both the teacher and student palled at what they believed what he would say, as they believed he would say the worst word possible.


"A one hell of a spanking" he said calmly, causing Ebisu to face fault, just as a clone poofed into existence, grabbed the boy and started to spank him on the butt. "What are you doing you damn, brat, blaming someone else for your own faults, that is just what cowards do" said as the clone put down Konohamaru down, winching about the pain in his butt. Just then Naruto walked towards the window. "sorry old man but I must go, got to eat something. We can resume training tonight. Right now Jiraya was supposed to return, but he still haven't turned up" he said as he left. The old man just sighed. "He grandpa, what did he mean by that" Konohamaru was asking with wide eyes and gaping over what the blond had said. "Well Konohamaru, he is a student of mine, im training him personally, together with a large set of other teachers"

This caused the little boy to drop his jaw. Someone was being trained by his grandpa, the Hokage, his student, and other teachers in the village. He came to one conclusion as he ran out of the room , he had to find this guy.

"Young master, wait..." Ebisu yelled, prepared to run after him, but was stopped by the Hokage who now was standing next to him. "Don't I think this could be a good experience for him. Naruto is strong, and also has the ability to make people to work their hardest. I think we should at least give him a chance for this. Just make sure he doesn't teach him any... crazy Jutsus" he said chuckling as he let go of the Jonin that disappeared at that moment. Sighting, then shrugging, he walked to his desk, and thinking about how this day would get interesting.

As Naruto walked down the street he noticed someone trying to hid behind a sheet of cloth masked as a fence. One problem he had put it on the side. Clapping twice he ripped the sheet out of the young Konohamaru's hands"okay, that is enough, you have caught my attention Konohamaru. What is it you want" he said.

"I see, so you saw through my disguise, that means that your..." he started, but Naruto just turned and continued to walk. "Hey, im not done!" Konohamaru yelled. Naruto stopped, just to lift his hand and moved it in a 'follow' motion . "Why waste your breath on trying to buttering up to me, because I wanted to help you already, but if you don't want to I could leave?" he said as he started to walk away again. Having a huge grin on his face, the boy just ran after him.

Later that day the two youngsters were confronted by Ebisu. "Young master you should stop being with this boy he isn't to any help" he pointed out. "Well, sensei, I now understand that, all of the 'shortcuts' you have been talking about, is noting short of bullshit" he said with a mocking tone as he made seals for a Jutsu. "Orikone No Jutsu" he yelled, exploded in smoke and standing there was...

"Ebisu-saaammmaaa" the girl the boy had transformed into said as she blew a kis at his sensei, then returned to his original form. Ebisu just stood there a moment, then...

"What have you been teaching him, you friggen brat" he yelled. "That was weird, I thought that everyone who saw it would pass out by nosebleeds, huh a world first" Naruto just snickered. "well I guess I should correct that, don't like to have any of the Jutsu's I make to have a fail rate at all" he said as 20 clones poofed into existence, all screaming hengen into... a harem of girls, clinging to Ebisu. Even if he's a gentleman, the closet pervert flew back by the massive nosebleed he had. Laughing Naruto just turned to Konohamaru.

"You see now Konohamaru, if it doesn't work the first time, then make a better one. Train to become strong by your own way, not through shortcuts. They make a person weak, because they overestimate their ability's, and die. From this day on, you should not be my student, but my rival. You have the potential, you just have to see it, and work for it. Well, see you later, Konohamaru-san" Naruto said as he disappeared into flames.

Appearing in the Hokage-office, he just smiled at how he also was smiling behind his hat. He knew he had created a new great Shinobi prodigy, even if it would take some time for it to evolve.

End of flashback

"Well, old man, what have you planned for me. I heard I was to be assigned under you, Kakashi and other teachers. But could you please tell me why you did that". He asked as he crossed his arms, and looked with expectation at the Hokage's answer.

"Well Naruto, why you were assigned your own squad is because you have enough skill and strength to compensate for the lack of teammates. But that doesn't mean you will not work with them" Sarutobi said, causing an eyebrow to rise on his forehead. "What do you mean?"

"It means that you will help the different squads with their missions, or at least on those that are more dangerous" Kakashi answered. "If a squad is assigned a C-ranked mission for the first time, you will accompany them to help them if the mission gets more dangerous than expected." he continued. "Most missions that are C-ranked, mostly contain parts like bandits, and protecting people. Like you said last year, most of the dead genin die because of their first kill. You will help the squad-leader, so that no one dies because of that." he finished, as he still read his book.

"I see, so im seen as a sort of safety-insurance, to make sure that no one is killed" he asked, getting a weak nod from Kakashi. "Well, I think I could fix that problem right away, but that would mean a reform of the academy-studies" he said causing a few eyebrow's. "Well you all know about Kiri, they had a exam that consisted of killing their best friends. But I know how to kill a person without him really dying" he said, cutting his hand as he made seals. "Blood bunshin" as he said this a clone was created next to him. Both men looked a bit confused over his actions. Sarutobi looked at his old apprentice that just shrugged looking just as confused.

"Naruto, please explain what you mean." Sarutobi said with eyebrow's high, as he looked at him again. Just as he did this the real Naruto stabbed a kunai through the heart of the other 'Naruto', but instead of exploding in smoke, it started to bleed as it slumped onto the floor, scaring both men as they believed the bunshin just killed its creator. But the Naruto that still stood up just smiled.

"You see, I have created a Jutsu that makes a copy of oneself, able of personal actions, that can only die like a normal person. And it is only dispersed when I cancel the Jutsu, creating the image of a real kill." he said in a plain 'So-you-know' tone, as the body dispersed into pool of blood. As he looked at them they were impressed that he already had created such a advanced Jutsu. He continued the rest of his lecture. "By creating these you can simulate most graduating genin's first kill, through possibly a search-and-rescue exam, where a Jonin kidnaps a teammate, so they are forced to rescue that person by killing the 'kidnapper', in a secure and controlled environment when they graduate".

The Hokage had a lot of thoughts as he heard his students suggestion. He knew he was right about the death-rate concerning peoples 'First-kill', and as he thought through the idea he understood that it was a perfect way of taking away the problem of such thing happening. He looked at his older student that looked at him now, and he was smiling.

"You know old man, this kid is a real genius for coming up with such a plan. Don't you believe his idea would go through right away, cause it could save a lot of lives" he said. The Hokage smiled as he nodded. "Naruto..." he said as he turned to him "...could you teach this technique to other shinobi?" he asked. "Well, it is a technique that I created, so I am the sole owner of it, as such I deem a payment for me to teach it to others to be in order. Because otherwise I will personally rank it a Kinjutsu, because if you do it wrong, you would die of blood- and chakra-exhaustion. I ranked it for the moment as a S-rank Jutsu, for the requirements" he said with a fox grin, as he raised one hand to his face and made the money-sign with his index-middle finger and thumb rubbing against both. This caused the Hokage to flinch a bit for the boy's antic but chuckled afterward.

"Well, I guess I could pay up but im guessing it's a hefty sum, right?" he said as he put his elbows on the desk with his hands twined together in front of his face. "Correct, but I will be the one to judge who can learn it. I don't want anyone that is going to use it in the wrong way having it. I have already decided that I won't give it to any supporters of the Uchihas, or Danzo" which caused both Jiraya and Sarutobi. "Naruto, I can understand Danzo, but why Uchiha" Jiraya asked as he stepped forward.

"One is that I don't want them let him copy it with the Sharingan, another is because I don't approve to their damn twisted 'honor', that they call it. They believe that, just because they have the ability to steal Jutsu's from other's, that they have right to do it without repercussions, no matter of it's a enemy or a fellow shinobi. I don't want him to have the arrogance to say that he learned it and brag about how great he is." he snarled the last part. This caused both men to look sad, as he was speaking the truth. "It was only Itachi-sensei who actually never did such atrocity. He always worked for his power and skill, so he is the only Uchiha that I recognize as a true Shinobi" he said, now with sadness eminent in his voice.

"Naruto, its not your fault he did what he did, or why he left." the Hokage said, in a attempt to encourage the young blond. A weak smile traced on the boy as he sighed. "Yeah, I know. But I have had an idea for why he killed his clan" he said. Eye browning again, the Hokage motioned him to explain.

"I believe he was tired of his clans constant pushing around about how he should be. I met him once in a training-ground about two years before the massacre. We had a spar, and after we talked. He told me that his father, together with other Uchiha's were not pleased that Itachi didn't use his eyes to become powerful. He said they called him a 'weak-minded fool' who didn't understand the greatness with the Sharingan. But he knew that his eyes were nothing else than tools. 'A tool is only as great as its user' he said" the blond told them.

"Im guessing that they went on his nerves with their arrogance about their clan. So he wanted to erase the arrogant ones from the clan, but in the end their would not be anyone left, safe from his brother and mother, yet she died that day as well." he continued as both men nodded in agreement at the idea.

"But in the end Sasuke became just as arrogant, not from the event, but from the villagers actions. By giving him everything he wants, he slowly gains the idea that everything belongs to him, and that he is above every law and rule there is. This is my reason I don't want to give him the ability to learn it. Because not even his eyes can copy this technique, am I right Kakashi-sensei?" The last sentence scared both men as they looked around and suddenly kakashi appeared out of the shadow in the corner of the room.

"No, my eye wasn't able to copy it, so you are correct. But may I ask if you could teach it to me?" he asked not reading his book but focused on his friend/student. "Sorry Kakashi, but I know you are obliged to repent for what happened Obito" causing Kakashi to flinch "but I don't want to risk the Uchiha to learn the technique, because I know you would teach it to him, just to 'help' him, the same goes for the Chidori/Raikiri. Please don't fail both Obito, father, and me by helping his arrogance to gain new levels. If you teach him it, my guess he will use it to kill people for power, friend as foe"

At this Kakashi first looked down, then regained himself as he picked out his book. "Okay, I will try to turn him around, but If he ever gets in trouble I will help him in as many ways as possible" he said as he eye smiled.

Naruto turned towards him and smiled in his face now, you know that scary look with the creepy smile.

"Kakashi-sensei, you do know that if I ever find out that he has learned something 'unwanted' from you or that he has copied from someone else in Konoha that he couldn't normally, I will personally tie you up in a chair, and slowly tear every single page out of every single copy of 'Icha Icha Paradise' you have, while throwing them in a big bonfire" he stated while still having that creepy smile, at which Kakashi stared at him like he was the devil.

"You, you wouldn't dare to..." he stuttered.

"Oh Kakashi, you should know what I can and cannot" he said as he turned towards a scared Hokage and sannin. "So what have you in mind for missions, Hokage-sama, as I know that I must do missions besides the training" he calmly said. The Hokage just sighed as he opened a drawer and pulled out scrolls, all with a big 'D' on them, marking them as D-ranked missions.

"Well for you to be able to take C-ranked or higher, no matter you skill, you must do a minor amount of these to be allowed. I would bypass this, but its just minor work that shouldn't..." As he looked up an couple of Naruto's were standing in front of him with one scroll each. As they had read them they were off in small blurs. The real on still stood where he was, now smiling.

"Well, now that that is out of our order, when do we begin with training" he said smiling as normal. The Hokage gaped at what he had done, to just sighed and smile. 'So you use Kage Bunshin to complete smaller task's, giving you both a paycheck and time to train. By doing so you can multi-task' he smiled at his students antics as he left in a swirl of leaf's (A/N Leaf Shushin). He chuckled as he remembered the meting for the Jonin-sensei a couple of days ago (A/N: I don't remember if it was yesterday or before that. Sunnimase)

Flashback

As all of the Jonin waited inside the office, they all were waiting for all of the students to come into the classroom. They were watching from the safe distance through the viewing orb. "So have you any idea how the genins are this year" one Jonin asked another. "well I heard that the Uchiha was the top-student a while, but was surpassed by that 'friggen brat'" he said with a huff. A red eyed Jonin, heard this.

'Idiots, don't they understand he is better than the Uchiha, at least thats what I have seen when I watch him.' she thought as she squeezed her hand tightly. "Don't listen to them Kurenai, they don't understand that boy at all" the man next to her said as he held the cigarette with his hand. His hair was backwards spiky raven, with a large beard. He wore a Jonin vest, with a black flack jacket, bandages over his biceps, and wristbands.

"Yeah, I know Asuma, but I just cant believe that they could be so blind sometimes". Just then the attention was focused at the ball. The door had been opened as the blond boy entered the room, but no one noticed him. "He's using a genjutsu, or is he just able to make people look the way he wants" Kurenai asked. The Hokage chuckled "Well he is able to make some powerful genjutsus by his own, but right now he just walked past everyone by his personal skill" this caused confusion, especially the young Jonin.

"What do you mean by 'his personal skill', a person doesn't have anything else than him self, and last I saw he was always alone." she asked. "Well then you have been blessed to be one of the few people to actually be allowed to even see him outside training, or working with him" he chuckled.

This caused even bigger confusion. "Now I don't follow, what do you mean 'allowed'. He cant be able to hid away from everyone, and especially not through genjutsu from me. I am not called 'the genjutsu mistress' for nothing" she said proud.

"Well if your the 'Mistress', then he is the king, he can disappear from existence and still live in this village, if he decided to do it tomorrow, and you would never find him." causing wide eyes on the Genjutsu-specialist and more whispers. If the Hokage said he would be the king of genjutsu, then he knew about how good he was. This meant he must have experienced his skill. Biting her lip, she made a mental note to speak with the boy afterwards. Just as she did this Iruka walked inside the classroom.

"So what do you think about this years batch" the Hokage asked everyone. Kakashi was the first to speak. "Im glad to have Naruto on my team" this caused a commotion in the office. "Kakashi, just because hes the best, doesn't mean hes yours automatically" she said with raised voice, and turned to the Hokage "I would like to have him on my team. If he's as adept at genjutsu as the Hokage says hes perfect on my team." Kurenai voiced with a hint of anger in her words. Asuma spoke as well "Hokage-sama, I would like him to be on my team, as I heard he is a natural wind-user. If hes on my team hes able to learn to control it to perfection." he said. And so it was a battle of words, where each of the Jonin gave reasons for why he should be in their team. But Sarutobi wasn't going to let them bicker about something like this.

"Quiet!" he roared, scaring all of the Jonin. All three of them stopped as they looked at the Hokage, as he sighed. "I have decided that he is to skilled to be placed in any of these teams" he said. All three were about to argue, but was interrupted. "He will be placed on his own team, were he is a apprentice following my orders. This will not mean he will not work with your teams" he said, causing the three Jonin to wonder what he meant. "This means that he will be able to accompany any of these three teams, but he will act as a second in command, after you guys" he said. Now all three got a glint in their eyes as they now knew that they were able to get to work with the best genin out there. But one question came to everyones minds. "what do you mean with ' act as a second in command', isn't that you have to be a chunnin to do such?" Kurenai asked.

"Well that is because he has ability's that exceed some of the best Jonin we have here, and he also has a very powerful intellect." he answered. "when you say 'powerful', what do you mean?". Asuma asked interested. Sarutobi smiled "Well what I mean is that he has a IQ that exceed a Nara". Asuma looked at his father in disbelief. "By how much then?" he asked. Kakashi was the one to break the ice, as a eerie silence had occurred. "Well we did a IQ test on him when he was 5, and he actually made the proctor think their was something wrong with the test". He said. "What do you mean?" Asuma asked now nerved about what he would hear. "Well when we looked at the test, it showed that he had a IQ rate of... over 300. and that was just at 5. He does IQ test ever year, and every time its increasing" he calmly stated, bracing himself for the storm.

Time seemed to slow down a moment, a few seconds later... "WHAT OVER 300 AND INCREASING!!!!" some of the Jonin now screamed. Asuma's cigarette dropped to the floor from his hanging jaw, and Kurenai's eyes was as wide as a human face allowed, and some...

"Over...over 300, doesn't that make him a god among geniuses" Asuma stuttered. Kakashi smiled, as well as the Hokage did. "He never wants to be called a genius, prodigy, scion, or anything that makes him sound superior. As he said himself 'I am only as great as my actions, as such I am no one so far'."

"I believe that Uchiha Sasuke is best suited to be on my team. I am the only one that teach him about the Sharingan. Haruno Sakura, im not sure about her" this caused some whispers. "She is booksmart, adept in Genjutsu, and has almost perfect Chakra-control but she's a fangirl of sasuke, I havent chosen a third one yet, so I will wait. Of course my normal choice would have been Naruto but as such, I will refrain from such thoughts right now." he finished.

As the Hokage looked around amoing the group, Kurenai decided to speak. "I wanted to have Inuzuka Kiba, Hinata Hyuga and Aburame Shino on my team as they together is a perfect scouting team, able to find anything and anyone" she said. Asuma was last "The Nara, Yamanaka, and akamichi is a perfect team, as their fathers have proven" he said bluntly as he was right about that.

As they continued to watch the sphere they saw the entire ordeal that was going on in the class. "heh, it seems the Uchiha and Inuzuka still have quiet an ego. And Aburame actually noticed Naruto, but didn't do anything" the Hokage said as he puffed his pipe.

Afterwards, when all of the teams had been announced, the Hokage turned of the viewing orb, and sat back in his chair, slowly smoking on his pipe yet again. "Well what do you think, will the groups be suffice or do we need any changes now afterwards" he asked, looking at the Jonin sensei's. No one made a comment, and he asked/allowed them to leave. As they disappeared, three were still left, Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma and Gai, (A/N: the 'green spandex monster of konoha', As I personally feel is a perfect title. Oh my eye's, My eye's!!!)

Well here I would write somethings that Maito Gai might say... but I won't, because I want to retain my sanity. Lets just say it includes a lot of Youthful things, and a "hn, you said something" comment from Kakashi. Use your imagination for the rest.

As everyone had left the old man just slumped down on his seat, puffed some more, growled something about "evil paperwork from hell" and a little red book.

End of flashback

3 month Timeskip.

Calling the missions that he had been assigned since his exam, would be easily been rated as 'Horrendously boring' and still it would be an understatment. I mean he had power, speed and skill, to not count intelligence, and he was forced to do things like...

...Laundry...

...caring groceries...

...painting fences and walls...

...babysitting...

...to just add a few. I can go on but you would fall asleep before I would get halfway through. But their was always one mission he hated...

...Capture Tora, the tigerstriped brown cat with a tie on its ear. How many times hadnt he already done it. I guess it was up at 4 times a week, the other teams hunt for it, not accounted for. But he never got any problems with it, as the cat simply walked up to him when he got close. The blond never understood why, but the cat always seemed to like to be around him.

This time as he had picked up the cat he delivered it to the employer, the fire daiymio's wife. He felt sorry for the cat as he watched it get crushed in the, as he called it, 'trash compactor hug', painful and never ending. As she left, he could only count on that he would get the mission again. Shrugging he looked at the Hokage as he sat behind the long table with a number of other shinobi's, handing out the missions for the day.

"Well now that you are done with that mission I have a few more if you would like them, some including babysitting, walking inuzukas dogs, some grocerie carring, and some other things." The old man said as he laid out 8 scrolls for Naruto to take. He simply shrugged, as 8 clones pooped into existence, took the scrolls and disappeared in blurs. That was at the same time as team 7 walked into the room. Sasuke first, still with his emotionless brooding, Sakura with her fangirl antics, their other teammate Sai, who showed no emotion at all, but that was expected from a Root Anbu, as he knew he was one. Lastly Kakashi walked in with his nose in his book as normal.

As they walked in Sasuke was first to notice. "Oh what is the dobe doing here. Trying to find a mission that fits someone weak as you". Sakura only cheered on Sasuke with her usual ranting that included "Sasuke-kun is so great" and "Sasuke-kun is so cool", not to mention "No one is better than Sasuke-kun". Sai didn't say anything, nor didn't show any emotion at all. Kakashi only turned towards the Hokage.

"Mission complete, would we be able to get our next mission, Hokage-sama" he asked him as he recived the pay for the mission. "Sorry Kakashi, but Naruto here took all of todays remaining missons." at which 4 sets of eyes were opened widely, well 3 actually, Sai just raised an eyebrow, as they looked at the Hokage, then at Naruto and back "We are out of D-ranked missions for today, so you should come back tomorrow morning" the Hokage said plainly. He did chuckle internally over their response for what he said.

"No way, this idiot can have taken all of the missions, hes just a friggen idiot" Sasuke growled. "Yeah, he cant be better than Sasuke-kun, hes supposed to get most missions and..." Sakura was interrupted in her ranting by laughter, coming from a certain blond. "What the hell's so funny Naruto-baka" she screeched.

"Oh Sakura, if you just could hear how worthless that meaning was, you would understand my laughter" he said as he composed himself and stood tall in front of her. She was a bit intimidated by the aura he gave a few seconds, before it vanished.

"Sakura, it doesn't matter how many missions you do. We only do missions to help people with their problems, and also so that we can live out live's." he said as he turned towards Kakashi. "how many missions have your team done so far Kakashi-san" he asked. He just eye-smiled "Well we have completed around 32 D-ranked one's, why do you ask" he wondered but got an answer pretty fast, as the blond turned towards the Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, I would like to have a C-ranked mission, together with team 7." he said I a formal tone, no hint of emotion. The Hokage chuckled a bit. "do you believe they are ready for it, Naruto" he asked as he looked at Naruto with a serious look. "Hai, I believe that it would be good for them to experience a C-ranked mission. That way I can judge their performance based upon the mission-results" he said standing tall as always. Kakashi looked up from his book with raised eyebrow's. Sasuke was in a different state of mind.

"What the hell gives you right to judge me or anyone else for that matter. I am a Uchiha, no one judges me, I am the one to judge people, and I say that you are nothing but a pathetic lo..." he couldn't finish the sentence as he fell to he knees clutching his throat. Sakura screamed, running up to him to see if he was okay, and turned to Naruto with anger in her tone and face.

"What the hell gave you right to do such a thing to Sasuke, you freak. He's way better than you and..." she yelled, but Naruto didn't take account. He was looking at the old man, asking him with a facial question if he was allowed, and he got a nod, as in a silent 'Yes'. Kakashi saw this, and just prepared for the worst, but his head shot back a bit at what Naruto said.

"Okay, Haruno Sakura..." this was enough to make her shut up as Naruto never said her full name normally. "If you continue to rant about such things, you will be the reason to why your group will be denied to do any missions higher than D-rank ones, until you make chunnin. So I suggest you shut up, or you will be the laughing stock to all other kunoichi's" he said with no hint of anger, but still he was scaring her out of her boots. "I will also tell you that any sort of degrading names you call me will also result in the same manner, so unless you want to quit being a Shinobi, I would recommend YOU to shut up."

Sakura only stood there, as she looked at her sensei. "He has that kind of authority, as he is the apprentice of the Hokage, and because of his skills and brain, he also outranks every shinobi in the village, except the Hokage and the Sannin." this revelation was a shock to the two shinobi, Sai was... well emotionless. Sasuke just growled lowly, as he thought all of the 'im better than him, I should have that strenght, I need it' bullshit, but because he thought all of that no one heard it.

"I actually have higher authority than Kakashi her on the missions, so if I say a misson is canceled, it is canceled, understood" he roared, as he knew what Sasuke was brooding about. "And if you ever think about how you will steal my strength just to satisfy your own greed, Sasuke, I will personally create a seal that will destroy the Sharingan forever" he threatened. "You would never be able to, loser. Besides you don't have what it takes to..." Sasuke only growled, but he didn't finish his sentence before he met a friendly face, mr floor and ms steel

"Sasuke, if you always underestimate your opponents, you will die. But if you underestimate me, you will experience pure hell, as I already have been through it. And don't even say anything about your clan-massacre, because it is a fluffy teddybear in comparison with the hell hound that have shredded me" he said as he stood up, spun the kunai a few loops then holster it, after which he exploded in smoke. Because it was a clone that did all of the work, he just stood in his usual place but disappeared, when he created it, and appeared when he dispersed it. Of course the Haruno was into a fighting fit, but was stopped by death glares from the blond, as she wimpered back in line.

"Well now that that is over, can we get our mission, please, sensei" Naruto asked as he turned towards the chuckling Hokage and a ranting Iruka. "Very well, your mission is to protect a VIP"

he said as he held out the scroll that Naruto took. "Okay Eagle, you can tell him to come in" the Hokage shouted. A few minutes later the door slid open, and a large drunk man walked into the room.

"What, I thought that I would get protection. Instead I get a cyclops, a pinky, a painter, an emo and a blondie." he said, gaining everyones attention "I am Tazuna, the super bridge builder from Wave, and I wanted some super protection, instead I get this." he yelled, obviously drunk by the way he swayed as he stood in the doorway. But just as he raised the sake-bottle to his mouth, it exploded. As everyone looked I terror for what caused the explosion, he saw the blond holding a .454 Casull, in their eyes a long silverly item, that had smoke pouring out of the pipe, in his hand, as he still was looking at the Hokage that didn't seem to have been affected by what he did. He almost shit his pants after that.

"Tazuna-san," causing the man to flinch at the threating tone in the boys voice "if you have a death wish, you should have stayed at home. But we are your protection, so we will protect you with our lives. But know that, if you lie to us, the penalty will be sever, more than just a broken bottle, so don't judge people at the first sight, because you will die one day if you do just that. Are we clear." he said monotony as he holstered the gun inside the trench coat, but one could just feel the killing intent oozing from the boy.

Rikka had asked Naruto to not kill the man, because she knew that if she didn't, he would have hurt him severely, and destroyed his chances for future missions for a long while. Luckily for him he had listened to her arguments and calmed down enough to just scare him.

Tazuna did the only thing he could do or say. "Crystal" he gulped loudly. The blond only scuffed as he turned toward team 7.

"The mission will begin at 8:00 am tomorrow. One minute late will be dealt with sever punishment at our return. After we leave Kakashi will take lead, but I will take command if anything happens outside the C-rank mission borders, Understood" he asked or more like demanded. The entire team nodded without saying anything, not willing to get on his bad side today. "Perfect" he said grinning, waved good bye to the old man and disappeared in flames.

Inside his mind Kyubi/Rikka was hoping around inside the house, screaming all sort of bad words. Why, well she was trying to keep up with the dance move game she was playing on her new TV (the old one was destroyed, if you recall, but this one was bigger)

The next day he meet the team at the gates. Surprisingly, even Kakashi came on time, but Naruto knew he came early because of Naruto's threat, as he was to well familiar with what the blond called punishment. I mean who wouldn't call running around the village, while being chased by a group of Inuzuka's hunter dogs punishment. Why? Well Naruto would spray the scent of a steak all over the victim, then call on the dogs that would chase him without stopping. Though the best part was that, you couldn't wash away the smell until about 6 hour later, that is if you survived that long.

Next chapter. Bloody Swords Of The Mist

A/N I have had some issues with my computer the past weeks so I haven't been able to post as often as I like. But no problems their.

I just want to add that I will alter a statement in chapter 5, where he says that hes on par with one of the sannin. My original thought was actually 4/5 at his own power. As such he would surpass him with the suit. I am sorry for the late alteration but it didn't register until afterwards.

To those who think I am trying to make Naruto to some sort of unbeatable god, I must say that you don't see the point yet. He can be defeated, but not by someone weak.
