As the small group of ninja traveled back to their home village they decided to take a break. This soon led to Sasuke asking to see Naruto's doujutsu.
Realizing that this would lead to a fight to prove who's bloodline is better Kakashi quickly intervened, "Naruto you do realize that until we can talk to the Hokage your situation is currently an s-rank secret.
"Relax Kakashi sensei besides I've been wanting to fight Sasuke for a while now!" Naruto spoke with no small amount of glee in his voice.
"Oh really?" Sasuke smirked, " Just because your eyes got an upgrade doesn't mean you can beat me!"
"Want to make a bet?" Naruto spoke as his eyes shifted to red.
Noticing that before Naruto's bloodline was white Kakashi made sure to note the sudden change to red where the white part of Naruto's eyes used to be.
"Fine!" the Uchiha chuckled slightly as he stared into Naruto's eyes with his Sharingan activated.
"Well I guess I won't stop you then." Kakashi sighed as he stepped aside.
Sasuke darted forward heading straight for Naruto, and seeing this the blonde quickly went into a defensive stance completely surprising everyone. When Sasuke made it within a few feet of Naruto. He threw a punch at Naruto's face the blonde waited until the very last second to move narrowly avoiding the hit. Seeing an opening Naruto quickly lashed out with a punch into Sasuke's shoulder effectively knocking him back.
"Wow bastard not so good now are you?" He asked cockily while Sasuke simply smirked.
"Hn lucky hit." With that the raven haired kid ran forward far faster this time, and this time he made sure to give it his all.
Naruto may have been able to dodge all the hits, but no matter what he couldn't put up a good offense. Sasuke simply didn't leave any holes in his guard.
Quickly thinking on the fly Naruto allowed a kick to connect with him, but in doing so he managed to land a punch of his own. When the two were a fair distance away Naruto quickly made a hand sign while shouting, "Shadow clone jutsu!" Five clones popped into existence, and while three of the clones charged Sasuke head on Naruto grabbed his last clone and flung him in the air.
Naruto himself performed a jutsu that allowed him to sink into the ground so he can sneak up on Sasuke. (Sorry forgot the name)
Sasuke quickly dispelled the three clones since they simply weren't as strong as the original. Allowing a smirk to cross his face he shouted, "Is that all you got?" However the smirk vanished just as quickly as it appeared when Naruto fell from the sky with an ax-kick aimed directly for Sasuke's face. Without any time for him to dodge he crossed his arms over head allowing his arms to take the impact.
Quickly Sasuke grabbed Naruto and pulled him down into a head lock while holding a kunai to the blonde telling him to yield. However shock completely took over as the boy laughed and puffed into smoke while a presence behind him held a kunai to his neck. Sighing Sasuke just laughed and said, "I quit."
In truth Sasuke new he should be mad; the dead last of his graduating class just beat him, however he couldn't help but feel happy for Naruto. He was finally improving after all these years.
Yet instead of gloating all Naruto did was smile and offer to shake Sasuke's hand. Which Sasuke returned gratefully.
"Hey Naruto." Sasuke spoke in a calm voice.
"Hn." the blonde said curiously.
"From now on I will consider you my rival!"
A smile broke out on Naruto's face that everyone could tell was his true smile, and not the fake one he uses to hide his pain. "Well I've considered you my rival this whole time! How else did you think I got this strong?"
That is when Kakashi stepped in chuckling and said, "Luck, a lot of luck."After that he pulled out his book and started reading.
"Hey! You better watch it Sensei! Naruto shouted in his loud voice, "Or I might just end up beating you to!
Kakashi smirked even though it was hidden by his mask. He knew just the way to handle this situation, and so he looked up from his book and stared at Naruto for a second, "Hn? Did you say something?"
This attitude quickly caused Naruto to face fault resulting in everyone laughing.
Once everyone finished laughing they decided to continue their journey to Konoha. A few hours before sunset and the walls surrounding the great village came into view. While some were simply enjoying the spectacle of such a grand village Naruto on the other hand was bouncing with excitement finally the blonde turned to the Uchiha and challenged, "Hey Sasuke wanna see who can get their first?"
A quick nod of the head had both boys sprinting as fast as their body's were capable to reach their destination. A huge cloud of dust rose as the rivals neared the gate, and without enough time to slow down they were about to crash into the gate when Kakashi appeared in front of them, stopping them from crashing, while saying, "Looks like I win right?" then looking at the boys with an eye-smile, "So you two get to buy lunch? Yeah?"
Sasuke and Naruto simply glared at Kakashi before responding in unison, " but we completed our first c-rank! Don't you think you should get is lunch as a reward?"
Inwardly Kakashi was smiling at their display of teamwork, but on the outside he had an image to uphold. "Well I guess I could buy you lunch after all you did prove you had what it takes to work as a team."
"Yes!" The rambunctious blonde shouted.
Sasuke simply smirked in his typical Uchiha way. That is when the rest of the group showed up while Zabuza spoke impatiently, "Are we gonna go in, or do you just want to stand out here all day?"
Kakashi simply walked up to the two ninja on gate duty, Izumo and kotetsu, and told them team seven was reporting in with two possible Konoha recruits.
"Oh!" Kotesu replied, "How did the rookies do?"
"Pretty good for completing a b-rank mission in all but name." Kakashi spoke in a bored tone as if his team's accomplishment was nothing.
"Wow you must have some very talented genin." Izumo said seriously.
"Yeah well besides that blonde one!" Kotetsu joked as he laughed at Naruto's misfortune.
However Sasuke decided to speak up for the blond even though he recognized it as a joke, "Actually something you might find funny is he is the one who did the most during the mission."
Kotetsu just looked at Naruto shocked, "Really?"
Kakashi simply nodded and then started walking in the direction of the Hokage tower, and without turning around yelled to his group, "Are you coming?"
The group simply ran to catch up to the jounin
At the Hokage's tower Kakashi made a verbal report on the details of the mission while the Hokage listened intently. Once he heard about Naruto activating his bloodline he asked all of them to leave besides Naruto and Kakashi.
Once they were out Sasuke Sarutobi, the third Hokage, activated a privacy barrier and then spoke, "So Naruto you finally activated the sage eye?"
