I don't own Naruto period end of story
--Ch8 wave mission start--
Time skip two weeks after first mission
"This is kogane in position, 10 meters from target" a voice said over the COM channel
"This is Beni, 4 meters from target" another voice said through the COM link
"White lily in position, over" a feminine voice said softly
"Swarm here in position" a monotone voice announced
"Acknowledged move on my mark…" everyone tensed "…GO!"
A lone figure jumped from his hiding spot towards his target. The target startled couldn't get away fast enough and was tackled, but started clawing at its captor's face.
"Kogane here capture of Tora the cat successful" Naruto said as he sighed into the communicator
"Gah this damn cat is scratching me again!" Kaoru shouted as he wrestled with the cat having received some scratches already
Kurenai's voice came through their communicators "All right team 8 meet up at the rendezvous point. Job well done this is the 50th mission completed"
The four gennins sighed, Kaoru having given the cat to Hinata. They made their way to meet with Kurenai then headed to the Hokage's tower to report the mission success
When they arrived at the mission briefing room they were greeted by the Hokage and Iruka who had a warm smile on their faces
"Why hello everyone, I see your mission was a success" the Hokage said as he watched the cat get hugged to death by its owner. He shrugged "well your next mission is…"
He was interrupted by a scream of "TORA!!" the cat had gotten out of her grasp and was about to jump out the open window when it felt a strong murderous intent
Everyone looked at Kaoru whose eyes were glowing slightly "TOOOORRRRRAAAAA" he said in an almost demonic voice while glaring at the cat almost daring it to jump out the window.
Tora was frozen in place by fear; it didn't even register getting hugged by the fire daimyo's wife.
"Ah thank you dear for stopping Tora from running away again" she said as she paid the mission fee again
The aging Hokage coughed into his hand "Right well now your next mission will be…"
He was interrupted again by the entrance of team 7 with Kakashi in tow.
When Sakura and Sasuke saw team 8 they sneered "Hey where are those two losers you call teammates and who are these two?" Sasuke asked in an arrogant tone Sakura nodding her head in agreement with stars in her eyes as she looked at Sasuke
Kiba on the other hand was conversing with Shino in low whispers just so that Sakura wouldn't bother him
"Seriously, those two are Naruto and Kaoru?" Kiba asked incredulously
"Yes they are" Shino answered in a monotone voice
"Wow so cool" Kiba said in awe as he watched the conversation between the brothers and the Uchiha and his follower
Hinata blinked then pointed at the two Kazama brothers "these are our teammates Kazama Naruto…" Naruto waved "… and Kazama Kaoru" Kaoru also waved eyes forming an upside down U signaling his smile
"WHAT!! There's no way those two losers could look like these two and besides their names are different!" Sakura yelled out
The two siblings stared "Anou we faked our appearance to fit in with the class and we changed our names for the academy so the council would leave us alone" Naruto spoke hand slightly raised as if he were in class still
Sasuke smirked "Heh so you two dobes had to fake your ages because you failed somewhere else and wanted to try to become a shinobi hear in Konoha?"
"Wow Sasuke you're so cool!" Sakura shouted as she stared at him with hearts in her eyes
Everyone except Sasuke and Sakura had a sweat drop forming on the back of their heads
This time Kaoru answered "No that wasn't the case Naruto is 12 years old just like you guys, this is what he really looks like, and I faked my age so that I could graduate with some friends and because I didn't want to deal with the council right away" he said nonchantly.
Kiba spoke up "So Kaoru how old are you then?"
"I'm 18 years old now" Kaoru said tilting his head in thought he paused then turned towards the Hokage "Now Hokage-sama about that mission…"
He was interrupted when he heard Sasuke shout "Dobe don't ignore me!" Sauske was angry how this no clan loser dare turn away from him, an Uchiha
Kaoru ignored him as he began to speak with the Hokage again
"Dobe! Listen to me when I talk to you!" Sasuke shouted louder than the last time
"Yeah listen to Sasuke-kun you baka!" Sakura screeched
"Well you keep calling me dobe and I'm not a dobe…bakas" Kaoru retorted as Naruto and Kiba started laughing under their breath
Sauske stormed up to Kaoru and grabbed his arm tightly to turn him around, Kaoru shrugged his arm off mumbling "Jeez if you want another mission so badly just ask no need to be so rough damn violent Uchiha" he muttered more to himself than anyone else although everyone heard him as he stepped back towards Kakashi
Having quite enough of this the Hokage coughed into his hand "Well now Sasuke-san your team's next mission can be: painting Takeshi's house, helping out a clinic, or…"
"No more of these chores! Give us something harder Hokage-sama!" Sakura yelled
Iruka who had been silent the whole time stood up "Sakura! Your just rookies you aren't ready for a higher ranked mission" he then explained the ranking systems
Sakura who had only half-listened spoke out again "But we have Sasuke-kun if he's with us we would never lose" Naruto rolled his eyes
'Has she forgotten that he lost to aniki even though aniki didn't even move a muscle?' he thought to himself as he watched the scene unfold
Kakashi shook his head at his arrogant student the looked at the young man standing next to him
'Looks so similar to his father… if his father had worn a face mask…I guess' he mused to himself
Iruka was about to shout again when Kaoru stepped in "How about my team assists theirs? With two teams it shouldn't be a problem right Hokage-sama, Sensei, Kakashi-san?"
Kurenai looked at Kaoru with a raised eyebrow then pondered the situation "It's fine with me I think my team is ready" she said after several minutes
Kakashi sighed "Well if she's up for it then I guess my team will go along they need the experience"
The Hokage smiled "Okay then, bring in the client. For this C-ranked mission you are to protect this man until he finishes the bridge he's building in Nami no kuni (1). Ah here he is, Tazuna-san these are the shinobi that will protect you."
The gennin looked at the man in the door, he was old, drunk and smelled horrible
"These brats are going to protect me? They don't like anything special especially the pink haired one" He said pointing at Sakura who was being held back by Kakashi
"Don't worry Tazuna-san you will have two jounin with you if anything goes wrong." Kakashi said to reassure the man
"Fine whatever, I'm the super bridge builder Tazuna and until I finish my bridge you will protect me with your life."
Kurenai called her team together "Alright guys pack for a long trip we head out in 2 hours, got that Kakashi! 2 hours not 5!" she then vanished in a swirl of leaves
Kakashi gulped lightly "Alright team pack up and meet at the gate within 2 hours see you later" he too vanished in a swirl of leaves
Kaoru and Naruto sighed "See you guys later" they said in unison before disappearing in a pillar of flames Hinata and Shino simply walked out the door with the rest of team 7
Kazama compound
Kaoru was just finishing putting his things into storage
"Let's see: Katana…check, Bo staff…check, Zanbatou… check, bow and arrows…check, ok good I got all my weapons. It's good that when I alter personalities I end up having the weapon they use." He looked around making sure nothing was missing
"Oh yeah my instruments never know when I'll feel like playing a tune or a requiem. Hmmm that should do, and Naruto should be finished right now after all he uses the same things I do."
He took a moment to think "Oh yeah… Kage bunshin!"8 clones appeared as Kaoru started giving orders "Ok 3 of you go between Makai and here bringing the paper work in my office to my study, another 3 of you separate the paper into three categories: financial, military and clan, the last 2 work on the financial and military paperwork I'll deal with the clan issues myself when I get back" with that he nodded his head and left the room
He walked to the front door and noticed Naruto standing there tapping his foot
Naruto looked up "Let's go" was all he said before dashing off to the gate Kaoru smiled "Yes…lets" as he too dashed off towards the gate.
When they arrived they noticed that they were the first ones there so they sat down and drifted off to sleep trench coats moving with the wind
The next to show up was Sakura who upon noticing the sleeping brothers decided to see what was under their mask she quietly moved to Naruto's side and slowly reached towards his mask, and right when she was about to grab it Hinata showed up smacked Sakura and pulled Naruto close to her as if Sakura was trying to steal him.
"OW! Hinata what was that for!" Sakura asked holding her hand in pain
"That was for trying to unmask my boyfriend, only his girlfriends and family can see his face" Hinata replied sticking her tongue out at her
Sakura huffed in exasperation "Fine! Whatever I don't see what you like about that loser when Sasuke is so much better" she said emphasizing the better as she walked away and sat on a bench nearby
Naruto opened an eye "What was that about?"
Hinata in turn smiled back at him "Oh nothing Sakura-san was being nosy about your mask"
Naruto closed his eyes "Oh well could you let me stay like this until everyone arrives, your laps feels comfortable"
Hinata blushed a nice shade of cherry red "S-S-sure N-N-Naruto-k-kun" she stuttered
Naruto mumbled "I thought you got over stuttering" as he nuzzled into her stomach
Hinata shifted slightly "I was j-just e-embarrassed t-that's a-all"
Naruto turned so that he was facing Hinata's stomach "Okay I believe you but your lap really does feel nice" he mumbled into her coat
Hinata subconsciously ran her fingers through his hair to calm herself down "Thank you Naruto-kun" she was met with a soft purring sound
She looked around but saw nothing that would be purring then looked down and noticed that it was Naruto purring as she ran her fingers through his hair. She giggled 'kawaii'
That was the scene Kurenai, Tazuna, Shino, Kiba, Kakashi and Sasuke saw as they walked up to the gate
Kakashi snapped photos from all angles seeing as Hinata had drifted to sleep as she petted Naruto. Satisfied Kakashi looked towards Kaoru and noticed that he was asleep and mumbling something. Looking at Kurenai, Kiba, Tazuna, and Shino he gestured towards Kaoru then made the motion 'follow me quietly' nodding their heads they crept up to where Kaoru lay then concentrated their hearing to listen to his mumbling
"Umm Tsuki-chan, Akane-chan what are you doing with those handcuffs? Why can't I move?" all of the listeners eyes widened
"Kakashi-sensei what's he talking about?" Kiba asked quietly
Kakashi looked at Kurenai then at Kiba "I think I know but listen and find out"
Interested Sasuke walked over and listened in as well
"No girls please don't I don't like this kind of things honest… Even if your frustrated raping me is not the answer… Ack! Wait stop stripping come on be reasonable I just recovered from that last battle with the rebellion."
By then everyone listening had a nosebleed some more severe than others
Kakashi had actually written down what he heard he was going to submit this to the author of Icha Icha paradise.
Kiba smirked "I think i know what he's talking about Kakashi-sensei" Kakashi gave off en eye smile at his student
Kurenai wiped her nose "Who knew Kaoru had a past like that?" she muttered
Shino who suffered from a minor nosebleed wiped it off "I doubt any one in Konoha knew"
Looking at the sky to determine the time Kakashi spoke out in a normal voice "well let's wake them up I noticed Sakura over on the bench over there we have to get going now."
"Hai!" the gennins chorused as they roused the sleepers
Once everyone was up and ready to go they walked out of the gates starting their first C-ranked mission
Well there you go
Nami no kuni – Wave country
Tsuki - one of the other bijuu also means moon
Akane – Kyuubi

When ever Kaoru changes into someone who doesn't kill like Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin should he also not kill or should he have an 'it was necessary' attitude towards killing?
Yes
No
