A/N: Sorry for not updating so long; as I said, my weekends are extremely busy, so I can't write or update anything then. So, from updating once a day, change that to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday- probably Friday.

Thanks for waiting so long, and I'm sorry for this mess- my real, non-virtual, life got in the middle.

THE WAVE ARC part 1

The blonde haired boy, barely a teen, pouted while glaring not-that-harsh daggers at the grinning Yondaime; his father in short.

Ever since they became genins (awesome ones, mind you) they've been doing nothing but weeding gardens, delivering packages, walking dogs and chasing after that she-devil, Tora. Well, Naruto thought she was quite cute and docile, with her snuggling up to him whenever she sees her and that adorable purring. Naruto felt quite bad giving her back to her owner, damiyo's wife- the poor cutie was terrified of her! He even cried together with her every single one of the 28 times they gave her back.

But let's get back to our main business at hand; bloody D-rank missions. But still, couldn't they get some more thrilling missions? Even Sasuke agreed with him- Sasuke who detested other people being around them, for reasons unknown to Naruto. Sai… Well, Sai was cool with whatever was thrown their way; but Naruto wasn't! He was a shinobi, missions no matter how dangerous were his life now! Why wouldn't his father see this; he was one too!

Naruto was full out pouting at his father, his eyes narrowing dangerously. Again, he denied their wishes- and that was to do some C-rank. Minato chuckled; his sweet, little boy. If Minato had an saying in this, and he had every, Naru-chan will forever stay bound to the village, never to set foot outside of it. Yes, that was quite a good plan, an incredible one! That way, nobody could hurt his precious baby boy and Minato will have him all for himself!

Cackling evilly to himself, and scaring the genins and chunins in front of him, Minato hummed. Kakashi and Naruto were acting as if everything was normal; Minato wasn't the most normal fish in the see.

Gathering his courage, Naruto decided to do one thing he detested so, but gave most delicious fruits.

"Hokage-sama," He started, taking pleasure in the slight wince he noticed in Minato's posture. "If my team doesn't get a bloody C-rank mission now…" Here he sent his mightiest glare, which wasn't all that bad (but still, Naruto was glaring at Minato, who hated any kind of dislike his son held for him) "I will move to Iruka's." Oh God, that never gets old.

Sasuke and Sai were looking at him, stupefied; Kakashi was sniggering behind his book and the two Chunnins beside his father were gawking.

Minato had frozen over completely; his eyes bulking, mouth gapping and body trembling. He just couldn't believe what he heard; Naru-chan promised him not to say those… awful things again!

"Wha… Wha… Wha…" He repeated like a duck, unable to let out a single, coherent word. He quickly stood up, but after a thought sat down again. "You can't be serious… no…" By now, Sasuke's eyes were glinting mischievously, happy that somebody (more important, his Naruto) was unsettling the Blondaime. Naruto whipped his head, away from his father, still pouting.

"I am, and I'm seriously thinking of doing it, if you do…"

"Team 7, meet your new charge!" The Hokage shouted, waving maniacally a scroll around his head, his eyes pleading to Naruto; who jumped up, smiling brightly. A drunken looking man walked into the room, holding a bottle of sake; his puffy and red eyes scrutinized over them. He watched as a blonde kid bounced over to the distress looking Hokage, and gave him a wet kiss on the cheek. Hokage's face relaxed instantly.

"Thanks dad! You're the best!" With that, the occupants snickered at the Hokage's relief filled whoop of joy. Tazuna didn't know what exactly happened, but he did realize the mighty Hokage just got suckered into something.

He took a swig from his bottle, wondering why the heck he came here.

Next: The clash with the Demon of the Mist! With a little side fun…
