"Sasuke, I'm at point B."
"Sakura at point C."
"Che, Kagome at point D"
"Naruto, I'm at point A. Believe it."
"You're slow Naruto." Kakashi said through the transmitter his voice sounding in all their earphones. "Okay squad seven…hmm…target has moved!" they all chased after the target.
"What's your distance from the target?" Kakashi asked
"5 meters" Naruto responded "I'm ready just give the signal."
"I'm ready too" Sasuke murmured
"So am I" Sakura
"Ready" Kagome came in with.
"Now!" Kakashi signaled. All four of them rushed to the target but Naruto got there first. How ever with his ever-horrible luck the cat fought back.
"Positive ID Sensei ribbon on the right ear." Kagome rang in. She tried to not get close to the cat. She hasn't ever been on good terms with cats. In her whole life the only cats who didn't hate her were Buyo and Kirara.
"Mission: lost pet Tora accomplished." Kakashi said.
"CAN'T WE GET A BETTER MISSION THAN THIS? I HATE CATS!" Naruto shouted.
0o0-O.o.O-0o0
'No wonder the cat ran away…' was the almost unanimous thought in the room. The woman paid the Hokage and left, still squishing the cat.
"Okay, for the next mission for team 7, there's baby-sitting and elder's grandson, helping his wife with shopping, digging up potatoes, or-"
"NO!" Naruto complained "I want a real mission! Something exciting! Not these little kid missions! I'm not the same kid I was before!"
"He's got a point" Kagome and Sasuke said. Sakura just punched Naruto in the head. Not the best idea because by doing that she not only angered Kagome but got within her reach. So as it happens, she punched Naruto she had her face on the floor with a large bump on her head.
"What was that for?" Sakura yelled at Kagome.
"You hit Naruto and I'll hit you." Kagome responded with a weird glint in her eyes.
"How dare you!" Iruka shouted, "You are a new Genin! You start with simple missions to improve yourself."
"Naruto, missions that come in to the village can range from babysitting to assassinations. These are analyzed and ranked depending on difficulty. You are Genin so you receive D-ranked missions." The Hokage explained then looked at Naruto.
"So yesterday I had beef Raman and today I'm thinking miso Raman." Naruto was telling Kagome.
"I still say we should go to this oden stand I found." Kagome chimed in.
"Listen!" the Hokage called
"You always lecture us like you're our grandfather!" Naruto yelled
"We are not the same brats who use to pull pranks all the time!" Kagome supported
"We are Shinobi and we want a Shinobi mission!" They finished together and turned around in a huff.
"Fine, since you are so determined I'll give your team a C-ranked mission. You are to guard someone on a journey." The Hokage said.
"Who? Who?" Naruto asked excited.
"Don't be so impatient. Send him in." the Hokage called out the last part. The door opened to reveal…an old man with a sake bottle…
"What, I'm gonna be guarded by a bunch of snot nosed brats?" the old man asked. "And you can't except me to believe those two midgets are actually Shinobi." That comment sent Naruto in to a frenzy yelling about destroying the man.
"Naruto you can't destroy the client." Kakashi said then he saw Kagome walking up to the man.
"I may be short, but don't underestimate me, it's the worst thing you could do." Kagome said in a voice that said 'do it again and you will have seen your last sunrise'. The man looked to Kakashi to see if it might happen and Kakashi nodded.
"Okay I'll let you guard me. I am Tazuna, a master bridge builder. I need to return to my country to finish a bridge that will change our world." Tazuna stated. "So I expect you to get me there safely even at the cost of your life."
0o0-O.o.O-0o0
"YAHOO!" Naruto cheered "What are you so hyped about?" Sakura asked
"Pinkie, it's his first time leaving the village," Kagome sighed
"Yep! So I am officially a traveler now!" Naruto told everyone
"Am I really supposed to trust my life to this kid? He's a joke." Tazuna said
"Don't worry I'm a Jounin and I wont let you die." Kakashi smoothed over
"Don't insult a Shinobi! It's a bad idea! And I am one of the greatest Shinobi over! I'm gonna be Hokage one of these days!" Naruto shouted.
"You can become Hokage ten times over, you'll still be nobody to me." Tazuna said as he started to walk off
"I'll show you!" Naruto yelled and tried to attack Tazuna
"Naruto you're supposed to protect the client not attack them." Kakashi said as he held Naruto back. Tazuna smirked at Naruto's outburst. However he soon tripped over a root that he hadn't seen.
"Careful Tazuna-san. We can't protect people from themselves." Kagome said. Tazuna got up and they started to head off.
0o0-O.o.O-0o0
"Tazuna-san, your country is the land of waves right?" Sakura asked
"Yea what of it?" Tazuna replied
"Sensei," Kagome chimed in "is there Shinobi in the land of waves?"
"No, " Kakashi informed them "there are no Shinobi in the land of waves. But there are hidden villages in other countries where Shinobi live."
"Oh…yea…that makes sense. Since Shinobi villages mean military strength and the land of waves is a small island with the sea for protection it wouldn't need a Shinobi village." Kagome muttered remembering the time Iruka had spoke of the Shinobi villages. Kagome zoned out as Kakashi explained the kage.
The group continued to walk for a time in silence. Kagome stared at the ground not finding anything better to do. That's probably the only reason she noticed the puddle on the road.
'When was the last time it rained,' She thought 'surely there shouldn't still be puddles…' that thought put her on edge. So she was not as surprised as the rest when two Shinobi flew from the puddle and chained up Kakashi.
"One down." The new Shinobi said as they tore their sensei to pieces
"Two down" muttered one as he appeared behind Naruto. Kagome ran and managed to plant her foot on his face. Using that as a boost she pulled out her rose and morphed it into her whip. She rapped the whip around the first guys neck as Sasuke pinned their chain to a tree. Kagome landed on said tree and used her whip to keep the man at bay but could do nothing as his comrade went to attack Tazuna. Sasuke and Sakura got in front of the attack, but the Kakashi knocked the guy out.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura squealed. Naruto and Kagome looked at where Kakashi was and saw a pile of logs.
"Replacement Jutsu." Muttered Kagome as she noticed the guy she had been holding back had passed out due to lack of oxygen so she reverted the whip back into a rose and put it in her coat. Jumping out of the tree she grabbed the Shinobi and noticed the symbol on the Hitai-ate.
"Sensei, these are Kirigakure Shinobi." Kagome said
"Yes, these are the Chunin, the demon brothers, known for never giving up on a fight. Sasuke, Kagome, good job protecting Tazuna. I'm sorry I didn't come out sooner Naruto but I didn't think you would freeze up." Kakashi said. Then he turned to Tazuna. "We need to talk." Then he went and tied the Chunin to a tree. A minute after her was done one of them regained consciousness.
"How did you know about the ambush?" He asked
"A puddle on a clear day when it hasn't rained in weeks…" Kakashi said
"Then why leave my life to the kids?" Tazuna asked
"I had to see who their target was."
"What are you getting at?" Tazuna sounded offended
"I mean were they after one of us, Shinobi against Shinobi, or were they after you the master bridge builder. If this is a C-ranked Mission that means we are to protect you from non-Shinobi threats, Such as highwaymen and robbers." Kakashi added, "if we knew Shinobi would be attacking you we would have sent out a different squad. It would have been B-ranked or higher. We are now outside the needs of the mission."
"We are Genin." Sakura whined "We aren't trained for this. Lets go back to Konoha. We need to treat Naruto's Wound." At that excuse Kagome walked up to Naruto and inspected the wound.
"Naruto it's poisoned." Kagome said. At the thought of him being the reason for them having to go back Naruto pulled out a Kunai and stabbed his hand to remove the poison. Then he spoke.
"On the pain in my hand I swear I will never run away or have to be saved by anyone else, I SWEAR IT!" Naruto said
"Naruto…You got the poison out but If we don't stop the bleeding you'll die…" Kakashi said
"Huh?" Naruto said then started to freak out. Kakashi and Kagome sweat-dropped at this. Kagome pulled a roll of bandages out and went to rap the wound. Said wound was healing at an amazing pace. Kakashi also saw this. Kagome rapped it so it wouldn't be infected then grinned.
"I say we keep going." She said.
"Yea we shouldn't give up!" Naruto shouted
"Hn…I agree with the dobe and Kagome." Sasuke said
"What did you call me!" Naruto yelled
"I guess we are continuing on with the mission" Kakashi sighed
