an:/whoa guys, Sasuke and Sakura will be with Naruto. I just can't give you any info without spoiling the story! Let me do my thing! Don't make me spoil the story for ya! Now where was I? Oh yeah, I found so many grammatical errors and spelling, and things that don't make sense. Point it out if you see it! Bleh, I need to improve my writing skills, so I'm gonna try to write as perfectly as I can, if and of the "i"s aren't capitalized, tell me! If there is a sentence that looks like shit, tell me! If there is an inconsistency with the plot, tell me! Of all that is holy, if there is an error, please point it out! Also, I'm not a dubbed kinda person, so no "Believe it!" Puh-lease! its "Dattebayo!" You have know idea how much that bothers me. Anyways, on to the story -ttebayo!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (I gotta switch to this kinda scene splitter, the other one isn't showing up)

"Urg, Baka-Kakashi, are we gonna do more than these ridiculous d-ranks? How 'bout some with more action?"

"Shut up, Reno. As if a retard like you could handle anything above a d-rank."

"Urg, YOU shut up, dumbass."

"Says the deadlast to the top student."

"You-"

"Guys! Calm yourselves! We gotta listen to Kakashi-sensei for the mission details."

"Uh, as I was saying. Today's mission will be the classic d-rank, Mr. Hiyashi wants us to clean out the weeds in his field. We will take four hours then take a break for lunch. In the afternoon, we will start training."

"Urg! Him again? His weeds grow back every freaking week! Can't we do some douton jutsu and level that shit out?"

"He has some herbs that are important growing on that lot, we can't just level out his herbs."

"We can always remove them first then plant them again after leveling out the lot"

"Thank you, Naruto...wait, Naruto's agreeing with me? WHAT? Has the world ended? Is it an apocalypse?"

"Shut up, loser"

"That sounds like a good idea, Naruto"

"Hey! That was my idea, Baka-Kakashi!"

"Whatever, loser"

"SHUT UP, NARUTO!"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Douton-Tairana Heijun no jutsu!

The ground shook as Naruto and Kakashi placed their hands on the ground and called the jutsu. The ground leveled out and Reno toppled over.

"Hey, watch it!"

"Aw, wittle Reno-chan needs an apology? Sorry you didn't apply chakra to your feet like a normal person would've, loser."

"Shut up, Naru-shit!"

The boys kept bickering as Kakashi stood by Rei.

"You'll take care of, more like heal, your teammates right, Rei?"

"A-ah, maybe, if they don't kill each other in the process. I'm not that good yet."

Kakashi and Rei looked back at the two boys who were now at a full out spar with weapons and jutsu flying everywhere. The flat ground became a war zone.

"Uh, we might have to do the jutsu again, Kakashi-sensei"

"I think you're right, Rei..."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Hai, Hokage-sama, Our mission is done"

"Na, Hokage-sama, can't we do any missions with some actions? I don't know, maybe c-rank? Something awesome!"

"Shut up, Reno. Didn't Kakashi-sensei say we aren't ready? And don't talk to Hokage-sama like that" Rei reprimanded..

"Tsk, I'll be hokage soon, so I can do whatever I want"

"Uh, no. I'm gonna be Hokage!"

Reno and Naruto got into one of their arguments again as Minato, Kakashi, and Rei sweatdropped.

"Ok, here's the deal. I've got one c-rank for border patrol. If you can do this kind of mission easily, I'll get you another c-rank. Prepare yourself, It will be in one week."

"AW, YEAH! Thank you, Hokage-sama! You won't regret it! Naruto, your dad is the best!"

"You don't think I know that already?"

"Hey! No need to be mean, I was giving you a compliment"

"If thats what you call a compliment then you need to recheck the dictionary"

"Hey!-"

"Enough, boys! Kakashi-sensei and I will be at training grounds 7. If you're done with your little argument, you can come and join us."

"W-wait, Rei-chan! Ha, I bet I can beat you there, Naru-shit"

"You wanna bet?"

"You're on- hey, wait!"

Naruto had already flashed leaving Reno to trip on the floor again before jumping out of the window. Minato was still at the hokage's desk amused at the relationship between his son and his teammate, a bit surprised by his son's nickname but amused nonetheless.

"Don't let me down, Team 7."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Come on, Baka- Kakashi, we've been running for the past freaking hour! How many more laps do we have to do? ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? QUIT READING YOUR FREAKING PORN!"

Kakashi looked up to see Reno fuming. Naruto ran a little farther and stopped for a break but kept his eyes on Reno and Kakashi. Kakashi's eyes then glinted with pure evil.

"Are you not running, Reno-chan? Shouldn't your little legs be moving instead of standing there?"

Reno visibly shivered and turned to run away, but it was too late. Kakashi jumped onto Reno who fell to the floor and stood on Reno's back. Kakashi pointed forward like a triumphant statue, shouting out nonsense.

"MUSH, MY LITTLE GENIN! MOVE ONWARDS! WE HAVE AN ADVENTURE TO TAKE PART OF!"

Naruto let out a "-eek" and started running when he saw Kakashi look at him dead in the eye with the same glint. But it was also too late. Kakashi had set out a kage bunshin which landed on Naruto with a yell of "DROP KICK! WHY AREN'T YOU MOVING EITHER, NARUTO!", successfully faceplanting the poor boy into the ground. If you thought Gai was crazy with training, wait till you see Kakashi. When Kakashi is interrupted from his book, he is freaking psychotic. Rei was on the sidelines watching the whole thing while continually running. Why am I stuck on a team full of weirdos.

By the time training was over, the three little genin were panting, Naruto and Reno both sported red marks on their face from being faceplanted into the floor.

"Okay, my little genin, time to go eat for a celebration on acquiring our first c-rank. Anywhere in particular you would like to go to?"

Naruto mumbled something incoherent that everyone except Reno missed.

"What was that, Naru-shit? Wanna share it to the rest of us?"

Naruto mumbled something louder but still incoherent.

"What~?"

Reno cupped his ear and leaned into Naruto who was getting pissed off more by the second.

"RAMEN, YOU BLUNDERING SHITHEAD! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FACE!"

"I don't see what's wrong with that suggestion, Ramen it is, I'll meet you little genin at Ichiraku's then? Jaa-nee"

Kakashi poofed away. Naruto, wanted to avoid Reno's glares, flashed away. Rei and Reno met Kakashi and Naruto outside of the ramen bar. When they all walked in, Naruto and Reno both reached the counter and shouted.

"10 orders of miso ramen, please!"

Naruto and Reno paused, looking at each other for a moment, then glared. They turned to the counter again and Naruto shouted a number only to have Reno say a larger number.

"11!"

"12!"

"13!"

"14!"

"15!"

"16!"

"ENOUGH, BOYS!"

Rei's scream silenced the boy's little competition as she glared down on them.

Teuchi came out with 4 bowls of ramen only to have two already inhaled by Naruto and Reno. They sent each other glares and called another bowl. Teuchi arrived with four more bowls, two for each boy which were immediately gone the moment they were set down. Reno glared at Naruto who exchanged the look with equal intensity.

Oh, it's on.

xxxxxxxxxxxx

"30 bowls. Beat that, you little shit."

"Ha, 31 bowls"

"WHAT! You were so cheating!"

"Uzumaki were born to eat ramen, it's in my genes. You can't beat a natural."

"Natural, my ass."

"There's nothing natural about your alien ass."

"You-"

"See ya later, Kakashi-sensei"

"Bye, Baka- Kakashi. WAIT UP, NARU-SHIT!"

The boys left Kakashi at the bar who was looking at his wallet with tears in his eyes.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Reno followed Naruto all the way up to the Hokage monument where Naruto sat down on the yondaime's head. Naruto took a chance to look into the sky and breathe in the sight of the village below.

"Isn't it an excellent view, Renosuke?"

"Wah- you noticed me?"

"It's hard not to."

Naruto didn't sound as vigor as he was earlier. Reno was a bit curious and stuck around.

"I guess that's what's expected of the prodigy of Konoha"

"Ha, hardly."

"What?"

"Everyone thinks I'm a prodigy."

"But you are! You're really smart and strong, smarter than me!"

"Thats not really hard to be."

"Hey, shut up, tryna help ya here"

"Ha, I haven't really done anything to prove I'm a prodigy."

"Really now? Care to explain?"

Now things were getting real interesting for Reno. The Prodigy finally shows some other emotion other than contempt towards the almighty Renosuke. Reno read as a headline.

"My dad, he made new jutsus and took out entire battalions in war. Kakashi also created jutsu and displayed his prowess on the battlefield. Uchiha Itachi's rise in the ranks, 'nough said. All these 'prodigies' were the real geniuses, their achievements show it. And what have I done? Graduated freaking Academy,. What kind of achievement is that?"

"A freaking awesome achievement, that's what. Come on. Don't sell yourself short. You freaking graduated 3-4 years younger than everyone else! And-and what about that Suiton-Nanatsu Suiko? That is a pretty awesome jutsu right there, still needs work though"

"I guess, but I haven't shown any prowess. I guess I was kind of glad you asked for a c-rank. The d-rank was just plain boring."

"I know, right? Now I can show my skills to Kakashi, and Rei-chan-"

"You like her, don't you."

"W-what? W-what are you talking about?"

"Save it, Reno. I can see right through you. You like Rei, right?"

"M-mm, I guess."

"What's stopping you?"

"..."

"?"

"You."

"What?"

"What do you mean, 'what'? Can't you see her fawning over you? She's always like 'he is so adorable and cute!' or 'the way he said that was so cool!' or 'Naruto is the best!'. Are you a blockhead or something?"

Naruto blushed and looked away but looked back at Reno and said,

"I still think you should ask her."

"What? Are you crazy? With those killer punches, I'll be dead before I finish asking her out."
Naruto chuckled before looking back to the starlit sky.

"You got plenty of years ahead of you to ask her out, take your time"

"I guess you're right. But the sooner the better, am I right?"

"Yeah."

It went silent before Reno snapped up.

"Well, thats the end of Reno's Psychiatrist session, you can pay 500 ryo now"

Naruto swiped Reno's legs and let Reno trip over and fall on the rock.

"Okay, okay. I was kidding."

They both paused before Naruto started laughing, Reno joining in. The two boys stayed up on the Hokage mountain for a little longer before they parted ways. Naruto looked back at Reno's back as Reno walked away. He felt as if he had finally made a friend that understood him. Not like any of those adults who gave him mixed looks. Fear and Respect. He couldn't make out which was worse, gaining respect because of your parents and not because you are you, or striking fear into strangers for no apparent reason. He mostly ignored it but finally, he found someone who knew him for being himself, someone who wasn't scared of him for no reason. Somehow, he felt really happy. But who was he kidding, why the hell did he care about loser? He flashed back home to rest. The entire week, he had a schedule of those blasted d-ranks and hellish training before his first c-rank.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
an:/ and cut! Hahaha, we got to see a bit of the soft side of Naruto who is actually in deep turmoil, there are no perfect people, just people who can act really well. Now he's friends with Reno! Tune in next week, for we will go over Team 7's first c-ranked mission! Sore dewa, Mata Ashita! (hahaha Road to Ninja, can't wait for it!)

Douton-Tairana Heijun no jutsu =earth style: flat leveling techniques
lol the jutsu name sucks in translation, everything in japanese sounds cooler. (one of the reasons why I like subbed over dubbed...)
