First Mission
The team are on a mission in the forest searching for a target.
"Naruto here, no sign of the target here" Naruto said.
"Tatsu, nothing here" Tatsu said.
"This is Kaname, no sign of it" Kaname said.
"Masaki here, no sign of. Wait, target is heading north" Masaki said.
"Tatsu, intercept the target" Naruto said.
"I got it" Tatsu said.
The team caught Tora the cat and return to the mission assignment desk with Madam Shijimi wating. They return Tora to her and she began hugging the cat, which is the reason it kept running away. Tsunade and mission tactician Shikamaru Nara begin to give them their assignments.
"Just like the old days" Naruto said.
"Well then, I already pick out some new assignments for you" Tsunade said.
"Can you at least give us a better mission. I can't take it with these lame missions" Tatsu said.
"What a drag, your should be lucky you haven't died in any of them" Shikamaru said.
"It's no challenging in any of them. I want to be out there and showing everyone that I can do better" Tatsu said.
Naruto smiled as he remember the first time he want to go on a higher mission. Tsunade had the same impression.
"Well, If you want to prove youself, fine. I'll give your team a C-rank mission" Tsunade said.
"Seriously" Tatsu said.
"Yes, you four will go to a boat that is carrying supplies to the land of shells to help with villagers who go caught in a storm" Tsunade said.
"A storm" Masaki said.
"Yes, we have Kurenai and some chunins there helping the villagers so it is unlikely that you will find trouble. Now then, get prepared you'll all leave in a hour, good luck" Tsunade said.
Naruto await the team at the gate to head out to the boat.
"So you went on a C-rank mission when you were our age, Naruto sensei" Masaki said.
"Yes, then it evolved into a B-rank" Naruto said.
"You went up against ninjas on this mission" Kaname said.
"Yeah, me and my old team went up against two powerful foes" Naruto said.
"Wow" Tatsu said.
"Yes, wow" Naruto said.
They reached the boat to the Land of Shells and Naruto was thinking about Zabuza and Haku and how they died.
Meanwhile at the Land of Shells, Kurenai and the rescue team began experiencing some difficulties on the island.
"Ma'am, we just got lost some communications with two of our ninjas" leaf ninja said.
"What do you mean we lost them" Kurenai said.
"They haven't contacted us or returned" ninja said.
"Something is not right here, stay on guard everyone" Kurenai said.
Kunais with explosive tags were thrown and cause an explosion.
"We got trouble here, ma'am" leaf ninja said.
A group of unknown ninjas attacked Kurenai and the rescue team. They fought back and held them back as long as they can. The enemy ninjas retreated while Kurenai and the others were injuried.
"Contact the Leaf Village and tell them of our situation" Kurenai said.
"Ma'am, we can't contact them, something is jamming us" leaf ninja said.
"They're trying to keep up from getting help. Looks like we're on our own" Kurenai said.
Meanwhile on the boat, Naruto tries to contact Kurenai but fails.
"Is something wrong, sensei" Masaki said.
"I don't know, I'm try to contact the rescue team but no response" Naruto said.
"You think their radio is down" Masaki said.
"There's plenty of radios there, and yet no response" Naruto said.
"Are you saying there's trouble on the island" Kaname said.
"If there is, we maybe entering a B-rank situation or higher" Naruto said.
"Could we turn the boat around" Masaki said.
"There is a storm coming in the path were we left, if we go back we'll get caught" Naruto said.
"So we are going straight to the island" Masaki said.
"We have no choice and no idea what surprises awaits there so be on your guard when we get there" Naruto said.
Naruto is getting worried about Kurenai on the island and his team for entering a dangerous mission.
Meanwhile on the island, the mysterious leader heard back from the squad about a boat approaching and orders them to await the boat and destroy it along with its passengers.
