Chapter 5: The (Infamous) Puddle and the Demon of the Mist

Three figures stealthily tracked their prey and hid in the treetops above their target.

"Unit A is in position." said an emotionless voice.

"Unit B in position also." said a female voice.

Their was silence for a bit.

"Unit C are you in position?" came another male voice but more laid back.

"Yeah, yeah. Honestly, when can we go on a real mission?" came another male's voice but this one loud and obnoxious.

Their target bolted from its hiding place and the trio charged after it. A loud and pained scream pierced the air.

"Confirm; does target have a blue bow on its ear?" came the laid back voice.

"Yep. Target; Tora "the demonic cat" captured." said Sasuke.

"AAH! GET THIS THING OFF ME!" screamed Naruto as the cat shredded his face.

"YAY! You got the kitty-cat! Be nice to it Naruto." came Siren's childish voice over their earpieces.

"NICE TO IT?! IT'S SHREDDING MY FACE!" yelled Naruto.

"Bring it in guys." said Obito.

Obito and Siren then clutched their ears as Naruto screeched into their earpieces, "WHEN ARE WE GETTING REAL MISSIONS?! I'M SICK OF THESE LAME D-RANKS!"


Hokage Tower; 30 Minutes Later

The team returned to the Hokage Tower and gave Tora back to his owner who was smothering him with "love" and the cat was crying while Naruto was inwardly laughing at the cat's pain while Siren was crying at the cat's pain.

"Okay, we have many more missions available for you. Ranging from weeding, babysitting..." began the Third Hokage (who should really be retired by now) but was interrupted by Naruto.

"No! I want a REAL mission, not one of these CHORES!" yelled the blonde.

"Naruto, you just became genin, you can't just expect to get the higher missions instantly!" snapped Iruka.

"Says you!"

"I HAVE A HIGHER RANK THAN YOU SO SHUT UP!" yelled Iruka using his Big Head Jutsu on Naruto.

"I agree with the dobe." said Sasuke not even looking up.

"And I agree with Sasuke-kun." said Sakura.


10 Mintues Later after the Third's boring lecture on Mission Distribution

"Fine. I'll give you a C-Rank mission." said the Third.

"What? But, Hokage-sama..." said Iruka turning towards the Hokage.

"It's alright Iruka, seeing as how Naruto and his teammates won't settle for anything less...bring in Tazuna."

A door opened and in walked a man that looked to be in his 50s with a sake bottle in hand, a straw hat on his head, and glasses on his nose.

"These are who are gonna protect me? A bunch of snot-nosed brats?" said Tazuna taking a sip from the bottle, "And the short one is an eye sore."

"HA! Who's the short one?" said Naruto before Sakura and Sasuke stand next to him and an imaginary measuring tape appears next to each of them; Naruto the shortest, followed by Sakura, and Sasuke being the tallest.

"WHY YOU-! LET ME AT HIM!" yelled Naruto before he was restrained by Siren.

"Naruto, you can't attack the client." said Siren his voice stern which did not match his personality.

"Okay team, meet at the gate at 8am sharp." said Obito before he warped away.


Next Day; Gate, 9:30am

The team was waiting patiently...somewhat...for Obito to arrive when he warped in.

"Sorry I'm late. I had to help an old lady with her groceries and a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way around." said Obito with an eye-smile.

"LIAR!" yelled the entire group including Tazuna.

"Hey, where's Siren?" asked Sakura looking around.

"Somebody call me?" said Siren appearing behind her causing her to jump into Naruto's arms and he blushed heavily.

"DON'T SNEAK UP ON SOMEBODY LIKE THAT!" yelled Sakura before she noticed who was holding her, "PUT ME DOWN YOU KNUCKLEHEAD!"

Naruto complied and put her down gently.

"Sorry if I spooked you. I was out hunting and lost track of time." said Siren rubbing the back of his neck.

"Liar." said Sakura before she noticed the blood dripping from Siren's chin, "Uh...what were you hunting again?"

"Deer. They taste so good raw..." said Siren before he noticed the shocked stares he was receiving, "What?! I'm half wolf! You can't blame my genetics for my habits!"

The group then leaves the village and start walking towards the Land of Waves.


4 Hours Later

After walking a few miles, Siren runs ahead and when they catch up to him they see him splashing in a puddle and then when he sees them he gets out of the puddle and shakes himself off, spraying them with water and then his fur puffs up.

"HE'S SO CUTE!" cried Sakura, stars in her eyes.

"Ngh! NO, NO, NO! SIREN NOT CUTE, SIREN SCARY! SIREN NOT CUDDLY, SIREN...THE EXACT OPPOSITE!" yelled Siren running away from Sakura but she caught him and put in a death hug and he struggled to try to get away but she started scratching between his ears and his tail came out and it started wagging (he can switch between wolf and dragon tail or a cross between the two). He caught the surprised stares from the group and he freed himself and (gently) pushed Sakura away.

"Not now Sakura, we're on a mission. Mission comes before petting the wolf/dragon Hybrid between the ears." said Siren sternly and glad he was wearing his mask because he was as bright as a tomato underneath. He began walking and he pulled his tail back under his cloak and then sent a quick glance at Naruto.

'Why am I smelling Ramen and fox on the kid? I know he's the Kyuubi's jailor but that shouldn't mean I can smell the fox. What is the kid hiding?' thought Siren to himself. The group was completely unaware of the puddle that Siren was splashing in a few minutes before had formed into two figures and the next thing they knew Obito was wrapped up in a bladed chain and was sliced into thousands of pieces that splattered to the floor.

"EEEK! Obito-Sempai!" cried Siren hiding behind Tazuna.

"Figures, the second jonin is a coward." remarked one of the attackers as he ran towards Tazuna but everybody froze upon the massive amounts of killing intent released into the air after said remark.

"Coward? Did you just call me a coward?" said Siren pulling of his mask to reveal instead of blue eyes, blood-red eyes, "DID YOU?!"

Everybody paled considerably upon seeing the two attackers ripped apart limb from limb, blood spraying everywhere, the bloodcurdling screams of pain from the two, and Siren eating parts of them. After he killed them, he calmed down.

"Sorry you had to see that." said Siren giving a bloody smile and at that point Obito reappeared, perfectly fine, and everybody except Siren looked back at were his "remains" to see a sliced up log.

"Those two weren't just any chunnins, they...were the Demon Brothers, missing-nin from the Village Hidden in the Mists. At first I was just thinking they were being stupid at attacking two jonin and their genin squad, but upon one of them going for Tazuna before Siren...executed them...I realized something...there's more to this mission than you told the Hokage. This is more than a C-Rank mission." said Obito glaring at Tazuna who was panicking slightly.

"Fine, I'll tell you but not here." said Tazuna.

"Fine." said Obito and the group continued onward.


45 Minutes Later

After the group was given the "guilt trip" by Tazuna for wanting to abandon him due to the mission now being considered B or A-rank and who was after him, Gato of Gato Industries, they were in a narrow clearing when Naruto suddenly threw a kunai into the bushes and Siren went to check on what he hit and his visible eye bulged.

"NARUTO YOU JERK! YOU NEARLY KILLED A HELPLESS RABBIT!" yelled Siren grabbing said rabbit and holding it tightly.

"WHAT?!" said Naruto before he ran over to Siren and began apologizing to the rabbit, "I'm sorry rabbit, I didn't mean it..."

Obito tuned out the conversation and looked around calmly.

'That's a Snowshoe Hare, but it's supposed to brown in the spring and summer not white. So that must mean it was raised indoors for a substitution...' thought Obito.

"Everybody, DUCK!" yelled Obito ducking down and everybody but Siren ducked and he was decapitated and he dropped the rabbit before he caught his head and put it back on.

"I hate it when that happens." muttered Siren rubbing his neck before he turned to face...Zabuza standing on a large sword embedded into a tree. Everybody paled at the killing intent released by the guy except...

"HI ZABUZA!" said Siren waving at said man.
