Chapter 5

(Naruto's house)

Naruto woke up and stretched to work the last traces of sleep out of his system. Going through his normal morning routine Naruto got ready for the day. After he finished his morning routine Naruto began to pack supplies in to a backpack. Sealing extra weapons and supplies into storage seals stitched into the fabric on the inside of the pockets. After Naruto packed enough supplies for three weeks of survival, Naruto shouldered the pack and shun shined to the gate of the compound. Going through the gate Naruto made sure to lock the gate behind him to stop anyone form getting onto his property. Turning away from the gate Naruto started running to the mission hall to meet Anko.

(Mission Hall)

Naruto arrived at the mission hall and walked inside. Naruto looked around and saw no sign of his sensei so he decided to get a C-rank mission for the team while he waited for Anko to arrive. Walking up to the Chunin at the desk Naruto smiled and said, "Hey, I would like to get a C-rank mission please."

The mission Chunin nodded and said, alright and what Genin team are you on? Just need to make sure your team cleared the D-rank mission requirement."

Naruto smirked before saying, "I am on Team 11 and we finished thirty D-rank missions yesterday so I believe we can get a C-rank."

The Chunin looked at Naruto with amusement and said, "Thirty huh well let's just check to make sure." The Chunin took out Team 11's file and looked at the mission log.

After a minute the Chunin looked at Naruto then the file then back to Naruto before saying, "Thirty but that blows the old record for most number of D-rank missions in one day out of the water. I mean the old record was six and that record was set by the Third Hokage's Genin team."

Naruto smiled at the Chunin and said, "Well I doubt many Genin know the shadow clone technique.

The Chunin nodded dumbly at the blond and said well there is a note in the file here that says you will be receiving your first C-rank from the Third Hokage personally so you can head up there and wait for your sensei before you get your mission.

Nodding, Naruto simply shun-shined in front of the Hokage's office and walked inside. Naruto gave a wave to the Hokage as he walked in and said, "Hey Jiji, why did you want to see me?"

The Hokage sighed before saying, "Hello Naruto it is good to see you. The reason I called you in is to talk about the C-rank mission but since you are here early I have something else I need to tell you."

Naruto gave the old Hokage a questioning look before the Hokage began to speak again, "You see Naruto since you have such a powerful and important blood line, you are by Konoha law to be put under the Clan Restoration Act so you can rebuild your clan."

Naruto gave the Hokage a blank emotionless stare before saying in a monotone voice, "During my training under Kyuubi she made me learn about Konoha's laws both Shinobi and civilian so I would know my rights and could defend myself against the civilian council, one of the laws I came across was the CRA and I was afraid this may happen, but it is law I won't dispute it or the fact that I qualify for it, since I do. But I have a few stipulations since the certain terms of the CRA are dictated by the current Hokage. One, I don't want to be forced into a marriage; I would rather marry out of love. Two, my future wives can choose whether to have kids or not, it is their choice and no one else's. Three, the council can't demand me to have children and can't dictate how many children I have or I will leave the village.

The Hokage nodded and said, "That will be fine I would hate to force you into a relationship that you were unhappy with, but according to the CRA You must marry at least three women before you turn eighteen which gives you six years to find get married. I will eventually have to tell the council about your doujutsu but I don't plan on announcing your status in the CRA to the council until after I announce your heritage at the end of the Chunin exams because at that point I hope that the fact that you have a doujutsu will be out of the bag."

As the Hokage finished the door to the office opened revealing a cheerful Anko.

The Hokage looked at her and said, "Ah right on time Anko nice to see you, and I called you and Naruto here to give you your first mission outside the village. For that mission you will be investigating reports of a bandit camp in a town nearby and eliminating it before it can become a nuisance."

Naruto and Anko nodded and the Hokage handed Anko the mission scroll. Anko looked over the mission details before bowing to the Hokage and turning to leave. Naruto waved bye to The Hokage and followed Anko out the door.

Once outside the room Anko turned to face Naruto and said, "Alright I want you to go pack for two week mission and meet me at the west gate in a half hour."

Naruto nodded before saying, "I am actually already packed so I will see you at the gate in a half hour but right now I am going to go kill some time."

"Alright then see you at the gate and don't be late, got it, I would hate for you to become like Kakashi."

Naruto laughed before saying, "Don't worry about me I am just going to go read in the park near the gate so I won't be that far."

Anko nodded before making a hand seal and disappearing in a swirl of leaves.

Naruto walk out of the Hokage mansion and headed towards the west gate all the while reading his mother's jutsu scroll. He was currently reading about a jutsu that was an extremely long range fire style technique. It basically shot extremely condensed fireballs over a large distance to harass enemy ninja and cause some damage before the main confrontation. Naruto was trying to memorize the hand seals required so he could practice the technique later when he had time. Naruto enjoyed learning a jutsu himself every once in a while. He especially loved learning his parents' techniques, and from the list in each scroll Naruto could tell they were formidable ninja.

Reaching the west gate Naruto sat down on a bench right inside the entrance to the village and waited for Anko to arrive.

Anko arrived ten minutes later and Naruto got up and joined Anko at the gate. They then ran out of the village. They jumped into the forest and booked it to the town with the bandit problem.

(Time Skip: Hour)

Naruto and Anko had made great time in getting to the town in which they were commissioned. Landing in front of the entrance Anko turned to Naruto and said, "Alright I want you to go book us two rooms at the local inn and then to try to collect information about the bandit group in the area from the townspeople. I will be meeting with the mayor of the town to get information and to hammer out the details of payment and the finer details of the mission. In an hour I want to meet back up and we will scout the area around the town to see where the bandit base is located."

Naruto nodded with a serious face and said, "Alright I will see you in an hour."

Naruto walked down the street while Anko disappeared to complete her task. It didn't take Naruto long to find the inn in the small town and to book the two rooms for Anko and himself. Naruto then explored the rest of the town while trying to overhear the townspeople as they talk and gossip. Naruto was disappoint in the amount of information that he was able to collect for the people that lived in the town, but he was able to get a general location of the bandit camp so that would make searching less of a hassle. Naruto walked to the meeting point to go search the area in which the bandit camp was supposed to be, with Anko. Naruto arrived at the meeting point and didn't see Anko. Naruto looked around and waited for Anko to finish her task. Naruto waited a few minute before he saw her coming up the road to meet him.

Anko walked up to Naruto and said, "Hey gaki, so what information did you find out."

Naruto smiled and said, "I actually found out the general location of the bandit camp so I say we go find the camp and observe them for a while."

Anko nodded and said, "I agree with your plan, so let's go check out what we have to deal with and we will make a plan from there."

Naruto nodded and said, "Alright then let's go, I will lead the way."

Naruto ran out of the town with Anko following close behind. Running through the forest Naruto and Anko searched the area around the village and after about two hours of searching they found the bandit camp. Naruto and Anko sat at the edge of the clearing the bandit camp was in and watched the bandits from the safety of the trees. Naruto and Anko sat in silence watching the targets move taking note of patrol patterns and any people in the camp that may be a threat. They also took note of the largest tent in the center of camp. They observed for a few hours before Anko motioned to Naruto to fall back. Naruto and Anko moved away from their perch watching the camp.

Once they were away from the bandit camp Anko spoke, "Alright this looks like a very low quality operation. The highest chakra level I sensed was around high Genin, but there may be a ninja among their ranks that can suppress their chakra. So I say that we head back to the inn and make a plan of attack."

Naruto nodded and said, "Alright let's get going then."

(Time skip: Several hours later)

Naruto and Anko were on either side of the bandit camp wearing radios so they can communicate.

Anko's voice came on over the radio and said, "Commence with phase one of operation: Hell Fire."

Naruto responded, "Roger."

Naruto made a cross hand seal and created a hundred clones that spread out around the perimeter of the camp. Then simultaneously all the clones went through the hand seals and whispered their various techniques. The bandit camp was bombarded with dragon missiles, fireballs, mini typhoons and giant chunks of earth falling from the sky. Once the techniques stopped raining down upon the camp the bandits were in a frenzy moving in every direction trying to figure out what happened. Naruto and Anko moved forward and started to take out the remaining bandits that were left after the initial bombardment.

(With Anko)

Anko was slashing bandits with her kunai in the frenzy of the initial attack and was making her way to the center of the camp towards the leader's tent. But before she made it there a person stepped in front of her and pulled a blade from his back. Anko made a subconscious slash at the man in front of her and was surprised when the man in front of her blocked the strike. Anko suddenly became alert and focused on the bandit's chakra level. She was surprised to feel it rising from that of a high Genin to that of a Jonin level ninja. Anko fell into her snake style stance and prepared for a fight as the man in front of her suddenly rushed forward in a burst of speed. Bring down his sword at Anko as he ran. Anko met his sword with a kunai deflecting the path of the sword so it wouldn't hit her. The blades met in a clash of sparks and the two ninja glared at each other each trying to intimidate the other.

(Meanwhile with Naruto)

The blond boy had his clones converged on the camp right after his techniques ended. It was slaughter house and the blond boy could only thank Kyuubi for preparing him for his first kills with the memories of thousands of deaths that Kyuubi had caused or seen, so he wouldn't freeze when he did it. Naruto and his clones were making sure none of the bandits escaped the camp and wiping out the bandits in the process. Naruto himself ran towards the center to confront the leader of the bandits. Naruto made it to the center of the camp and burst inside the tent to confront the leader of the bandits. Once inside Naruto was surprised to see a tall man with huge muscles sitting in a chair facing the door. The man was calm and confident from what Naruto could tell from his posture.

Standing up the man spoke with a deep voice to Naruto, "so they send a Genin to take me out well I guess this will be easy."

At the end of the sentence the man rushed forward and punched Naruto directly in the gut with a chakra laced punch. Naruto went flying back and hit a tree at the edge of the clearing in which the bandit camp was in.

Naruto gathered his wits before thinking, "Damn it this guy is strong I guess I will have to take this seriously." Naruto's eyes changed color from the brilliant blue to a pale purple and he got up to face his opponent. The man had left his tent and he was walking toward Naruto seeing no need to rush in killing the brat.

The man raised an eye brow when he saw the boy getting up and he said, "I am impressed that kind of punch would knock most Genin out."

Naruto looked the man in the eyes with his doujutsu and said, "Well I guess I am not a normal Genin now am I."

The man replied smugly, "Well I doubt you are strong enough to beat me even if you are a strong Genin."

Naruto smirked and said, "It is only a title, true power is earned through hard work."

Naruto disappeared from view with a burst of speed and appeared behind the man. Naruto gave a strong kick to the man's back and sent him flying. The man did a flip in the air and landed on his feet. The man then took out brass knuckles and disappeared from view too. Moments later the two opponents clashed and engaged in a furious taijutsu battle with both of them receiving cuts and bruises. They broke apart and jumped back to gain some distance from each other. Both were panting from exertion but Naruto stood up straight and created six clones and surrounded the leader with them. The man was starting to get mad, how a Genin could compete with him was unthinkable. The man looked around at his current situation he ready for a multi-front attack.

Naruto then called out a jutsu, "Gravity style: Almighty push."

The leader of the bandit felt himself get pushed by an unknown force towards a waiting clone that had his fist cocked. The clone hit the man with a chakra enhanced punch sending him to another clone that repeated the process until the leader was sent back to the real Naruto. With an uppercut Naruto sent his enemy high into the air.

He then appeared above the bandit leader and did a drop kick to the man's back and said in a serious voice, "Uzumaki Barrage."

The kick sent his enemy hurtling towards Earth at an extremely high speed. With a sickening crack the man's head hit the earth below and the body crumpled as it followed. Naruto landed beside the leader and sighed. He had just taken a Jonin in a fight and survived. Naruto looked around and saw Anko finish off a man that she was fighting with a kunai across the neck. Naruto walked towards Anko across a field of dead bodies.

Coming closer Naruto called out, "Hey sensei, I think we can call this mission a success."

Anko nodded her head and said, "We aren't done yet. We still have to loot the place and burn all the bodies and whatever we don't want before we can call it a night."

"Alright then I will make some clones and we can get this done," said a serious Naruto.

Anko nodded again and said, "Good idea why don't you loot and collect anything we can sell or use and I will start to gather the bodies so we can burn them. You can help me when you are done."

Naruto nodded and created two clones and went to work collecting the money and weapons off the bandits. Naruto and his clones collected all the bandits' weapon and sealed them into a scroll. Once Naruto was done he created several more clone and they went to work collecting the bodies littering the camp and putting them in a pile. Once they were done Anko did a quick fire jutsu and incinerated the pile.

As the flames died down Anko turned to Naruto and said, "Alright lets head back to the inn and get some rest we will leave for Konoha at noon tomorrow."

Naruto nodded and said, "Alright let get going I can't wait to get so shut eye."

Anko and Naruto took to the trees heading back to the town so they could get some sleep.

(Time skip: Noon next day)

Anko and Naruto left the town and started back to the village to report their success. A few hours later they arrived at the gates of the village and passed the gate guards showing there ninja licenses as they went by.

Once inside the gate Anko turned to Naruto and said, "Alright you can go, I can give the report by myself."

Naruto nodded and said, "Alright well here is our half of the loot we got from the bandits."

Anko thanked Naruto and walked off to report the Hokage. Naruto headed to his house to get some rest and to read up on his parents' jutsus.
