Soon after the Hokage a old man walked out drinking sake, seemingly very drunk. He quickly slurred out "This is what I paid for? Three midgets and a cyclops? I guess he looks okay other than that but the duckbutt hair boy looks like he'll run the second there's any fighting, the pink haired girl will just do her hair the whole and the other guy... Is a mini Yondaime wannabe." Sakura and Sasuke had to be restrained by Kakashi while Naruto was confused and said to the Hokage "Jiji, do I look like the Yondaime? How come? Does that mean I'm related to the Yondaime and this has been a big secret to keep it from me?" Kakashi and Hiruzen looked uneasy about the question but the Hokage quickly said "Yes you look him, and maybe you are related to him Naruto, if you do really well in this mission I will tell you of your parents. If you don't do well enough you either get to learn of your mother or neither." Naruto just nodded enthusiastically and Kakashi sighed "Meet at the west gate in two hours." Kakashi then left in a swirl of leaves, Naruto sprinted straight to his apartment while Sakura stalked Sasuke looking for a date.
Once at his apartment Naruto decided first thing to do was to set out his gear so he quickly grabbed everything he needed and took a extra scroll to read on the way there. After this he went to have a shower quickly. Once out of the shower he put on his usual shinobi clothes, put the scroll in a pocket and ran across the rooftops to the west gate to find Kakashi and a slightly less drunk looking Tazuna. Naruto immediately put his hands in the ram seal and yelled "Kai" but nothing happened. Kakashi sweatdropped and said "I'm on time for all C-rank and above missions." Naruto sighed but nodded and waited for their other two teammates too arrive, who immediately copied him on arrival not believing Kakashi to be here. Kakashi quickly explained why he wasn't late and they took off.
While heading towards the land of waves Sakura was bothering Sasuke asking for dates. Sasuke was seemingly ignoring her if you didn't count the heavily twitching eyebrow. After finally giving up begging Sakura quickly asked Tazuna about the land of waves and if they had shinobi, to which he explained why the didn't. While this was happening Naruto was reading a scroll about elemental manipulation and affinities. Kakashi noticed he was reading a scroll and immediately questioned him on it "Naruto, what are you reading?" Naruto looked up from the scroll quickly and replied "Elemental manipulation." Kakashi was wondering why Naruto was reading about Chuunin level stuff already and decided to voice his concern "Naruto, you shouldn't be reading that, it's for chuunin level shinobi or people who's clan focus on elements." Naruto just sighed and said "I've done most other things to a descent level already, I can already use some forms of elemental manipulation although I do not know if they are my current affinity." Kakashi narrowed his eyes at that, where was Naruto getting all this information? "Naruto where are you getting these things? I don't think the Hokage would like you learning this..." Naruto got annoyed and shut the scroll for now and said "The Hokage knows, Konan has been helping me for years. He helps her get the stuff to me sometimes too so stop worrying, now I'm going to test my affinity." He said this and pulled out four pieces of Chakra Paper from his pocket. Sasuke ran over to Naruto trying to snatch the paper from him saying "Give it to me dobe, I need to know my affinity." Naruto just growled and kept the paper away from him. Kakashi decided to solve this and said "Now now Naruto, just give everyone a piece, you have four so one for each of us." Naruto just sighed and gave everyone a piece before walking a bit of everyone to test himself alone.
Kakashi just sighed and said "Okay you two, channel chakra into the paper and see what affinities you get. We won't be learning any jutsu for them yet but it's good to know I guess. I'll show you mine." He channeled chakra into his paper and quickly wrinkled up before a small part crumbled while another got wet and burned. He then said "As you can see, I have lightning as my main affinity while I have very small affinities to Earth, water and fire due to extensive training." Sasuke and Sakura nodded and charged their own chakra into the paper. Sakura's paper quickly crumbled showing a Earth affinity while Sasuke's wrinkled before burning showing Lightning as a primary with Fire as a secondary affinity. Kakashi said "Well done Sasuke, two affinities is rare." Sasuke just smirked and said "Lets go see what the dobe got." They nodded and went over to Naruto who was just finishing the scroll and about to test his affinity. He charged into it and it quickly sliced in half before one half burned and the other wrinkled to show Wind, Fire and Lightning affinities. Kakashi was shocked but managed to say "Well done Naruto, even elite Jonin don't always have three affinity and very rarely as strong as yours already are." This caused Sasuke to scowl and Sakura to yell "Naruto must've cheated! There's no way he has no more affinities than Sasuke-kun!" Kakashi just sighed and said "You can't cheat, Naruto just has more for some reason" 'Wind is probably from his mother, Fire might be the Kyuubi and Lightning from his dad... incredible'. After this they just carried on walking with Sakura bugging Sasuke again who was still scowling how Naruto had more affinities than he did.
As they were walking Naruto noticed a puddle and knew it hadn't rained for weeks so was worried something was wrong and said "Kakashi-sensei -" Kakashi interrupted him and said "Naruto, don't bother telling me it's hot, we know it hasn't rained for weeks." Naruto instantly knew that was a hint about the puddle and slowly moved his hand towards his kunai pouch as they passed over the puddle. Once over it two people jumped out and wrapped a chain around Kakashi who looked shocked and was quickly dispatched. The two said "One down." while Sasuke stood frozen in fear and Sakura screamed. Naruto quickly charged at one the two and they tried to wrap the chain around him, he managed to wedge a kunai in the middle of the chain holding it in one hand while he used the other to throw a second kunai at one of the two people's head. The person quickly dodged by jumping backwards which moved the chain and the other person with it. Naruto used this chance and threw a kunai managing to capture the chain and stick it a tree. The two people immediately detached the chain and ran towards Naruto who ran at one and had to duck under a kick to the head but managed to get a punch in the persons chest sending them skidding back. While this was happening the other opponent was running towards the still frozen Sasuke. As he was about to be stabbed by a kunai Naruto appeared blocking it with his own. Naruto was about to be overpowered before Kakashi appeared and chopped the person in the back of the neck. Once done he said "Naruto, well done, you managed to take one down and save your team mates. Sakura, not so well done. True you managed to stay near the bridge builder but didnt really do anything. Sasuke same to you, you just stood there frozen in fear, no harm done, this was a test to see if that happened." Sakura breathed a sigh of relief for Kakashi being alive, Naruto nodded acknowledging the praise and Sasuke was seething about how Naruto had to save him and take all the glory.
Kakashi soon turned to Tazuna and said "Explain why chuunin level shinobi were after you." Tazuna immediately paled but began explaining why they were after him and how he couldn't afford a higher rank mission before he began to try to guilt Team 7 into continuing who quickly agreed to continue but Kakashi sent a note asking for backup back to Konoha to be safe. After this they continued on their way and eventually got to a boat which would take them the rest of the way. Everyone sat in quiet on the boat, going over what happened previously. Once getting off the boat, they were walking for a while until there was a sound coming from some bushes so Naruto threw a kunai and a white bunny bounced out. Sakura began to berate him for it until Naruto quickly grabbed her and yelled "Get down!" along with Kakashi while throwing her to the floor. A sword embedded itself into a tree the same height as team seven's head and a man quickly jumped onto the sword. Kakashi said "Zabuza Momochi, A-rank missing nin..." Zabuza just chuckled and said "Kakashi of the sharingan... it's a pleasure. Hand over the old man and you live." Ignoring the shocked looking Sasuke due to hearing Kakashi had a sharingan Kakashi quickly said "Sorry, cant do that." Zabuza jumped back with his sword before saying "Your loss. Hidden Mist Jutsu!" Soon a mist began to cover the surrounding area and Kakashi yelled "Protect Tazuna!"
-Canon until Kakashi is captured-
Kakashi quickly yelled "Run away while you can! His water clones can't go far away from him." Naruto quickly yelled back "No way, we need to save you." Sakura went to cover Tazuna while Naruto charged forward making two clones on the way while Zabuza made five water clones. Naruto quickly threw 3 kunai and did some hand signs before yelling "Kunai Shadow Clone Jutsu". The 3 kunai quickly turned into 30. One of the clone Naruto's had gone through hand signs and yelled "Wind Style: Great Breathrough" which sped the kunai up. While this happened the other Naruto clone went through his own handsigns and yelled "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu" which set the kunai on fire due to them being in a wind jutsu. The flaming kunai approached Zabuza's clone quickly who attempted to put their swords in front to defend themselves. Three managed to do this but two others were hit by the kunai and quickly dispelled. One of the remaining three water clones quickly charged Naruto who threw two more kunai at him which he deflected into the water. Naruto used this time to back up and say "Sasuke, you could jump in." Sasuke just scowled but ran at the Zabuza clone and threw three shuriken which were easily dodged. Naruto then charge at Zabuza with a kunai but was only clashed with his sword. Sasuke used this time to throw a kunai at the other water clone and dispel it before charging the clone clashing with Naruto and stabbed it in the back of its chest to dispel it.
Naruto quickly smirked but Zabuza said "Don't get cocky I still have your sensei." Naruto just chuckled which got Zabuza confused until he pressure on his on his back. When he looked over his shoulder he was shocked to see Naruto! He just said "How?" Naruto chuckled and said "When I threw those two kunai that weren't on fire, they were clones transformed." Zabuza just gaped at him. That was a true shinobi tactic. He chuckled and said "I guess out of the three your the only ninja here. Well done kid." He then released his jutsu and freed Kakashi before jumping away from the clone. Kakashi quickly said "Well done Naruto, your really impressing me as a ninja. Good assistance Sasuke." He then charged towards Zabuza.
-Canon until Kakashi wakes up at Tazuna's-
Kakashi quickly explained to the three about how Zabuza was most likely still alive and Naruto just had a face of indifference, Sakura had visibly paled and shook slightly while Sasuke smirked, presumably to have another chance to fight Zabuza. Kakashi then said "I will be training you three for the next week, although you wont be able to fight Zabuza it should help you survive and possible fight his apprentice if nececary." The three quickly nodded and got ready to leave for training.
AN: Well, I decided to give Naruto lightning as a third affinity since then it can be said that Naruto has a huge weakness, that being defense due to not having a defensive affinity. I hope this chapter was okay and I look forward to seeing what you have to say in reviews.
