Author's Note: Now, now, now I could tell you who Naruto's so called girlfriends were, but that wouldn't be much fun. Also I have decided on the harem before writing after all its kinda easy to figure out who gets who in these harem fics.

Sorry it took me so long, I hit some major writers block. And I needed to work on some research for later chapters. I like to be prepared!

Where we last left off…

As soon as Naruto took gauge of all that was there, the food, the girls, and the guests, not exactly in that order. He smirked feeling quite content, he strode over to a table feeling ready to begin feasting on food, sadly it was true at the moment he was focusing on the food, he was hungry. Before he reached the table he was brought down to the floor by a squealing raven haired female with a pair of high pigtails in her hair.

"Naruto-kun!!" she chimed in cheerfully as she sat on his back feeling triumphant of her greeting on the boy.

"…Look'it all the pretty birds…" he cooed as he was essentially knocked for a lopp, by the bum rush he had received from the girl. The girl whom was wearing a high collared shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back and a pair of cargo shorts she smirked feeling mighty proud of what she had done, she had no sense of shame, and seemingly didn't carry herself like one of the Uchiha.

"MIRAI! How many times must I tell you it is uncouth and unlady like to tackle someone, I don't care if you have a crush on him!" quickly scolded another raven haired girl, who had a prim and proper air about her, this was Uchiha Kako. The girl was dressed in a long black dress and a high collared shirt like her sister. "Ima, aren't you going to say hello to Naruto-kun?" she quickly sassed her other sister, through this action Naruto could tell Kako was a bit bossy, not that bossy was bad, bossy girls always knew what they wanted.

"…Sup…?" the third girl greeted with a nod of the head, she was the tom boy of the Uchiha triplets, Uchiha Ima. She stood out from her sisters very much, with her boyish hair cut that was spiked, sleeveless high collared black shirt which bore the Uchiha fan on the back, and camouflage jeans. She could almost pass for a boy that was if she didn't have a noticeable bust line.

"Oh nothin', just your sister tackled me to the ground…" the ever cheerful blonde responded as he looked towards Ima quietly. But peace couldn't last at the party for long, not by a long shot.

"Just WHAT, do you think your doing sitting on MY, Naruto-kun!!" roared an angry platinum haired female as her hands began twitching with blood lust. Yamanaka Ino, the ever merciless self appointed leader of the Naruto fanclub took it upon herself to grab Mirai by her left pigtail, pulling the raven haired girl off Naruto forcefully. "It's a miracle he didn't get a collapsed lung!!" the girl with cornflower blue eyes shouted at the onyx eyed girl.

"…Wha…HOW DARE YOU SAY I'M FAT!! I'm gonna kill you, you little anorexic bitch!! Since when have you had exclusive rights to Naruto-kun!? I'M GOING TO BREAK YOU IN TWO!!!" Mirai roared in furious anger as she clenched her fists flinging herself towards Ino to commence a beat down. Naruto was left speechless, a large drop of sweat on the side of his head as he saw this. He was much too young to appreciate what he was witnessing, girls fighting, it was considered the one thing all men wanted to have happen, especially if the girls were fighting over them.

Crawling away under the cover of the brawl that erupted Naruto began to make his way towards a table where the food was. He was getting hungry and when he got hungry he just wasn't able to focus. He was almost there to the holy land of food when two figures blocked his path, smiling nervously as he raised his gaze to see who was denying him food now.

"Oh ho ho ho, what's this? Hiding from me?" began one female with her hair pulled back tightly into a high ponytail, her bright energetic eyes beamed happily at the blonde genin. She was none other than Kasegi of the Nara Clan. She was pretty much evidence that the Nara clan was plagued with strong willed women. "You know…we're going to probably be spending more time together if I'm assigned to your team" the dark haired girl continued with a cheeky grin on her face, this didn't make Naruto feel anymore comfortable with her around, in fact it made him even more frightened.

"Rei! Stop trying to scare him, no wonder Shikamaru say's you're just like his aunt." interjected the other girl, Akimichi Tonbo. Oddly enough she wasn't what one expected from a female of the Akimichi clan, she wasn't on the big side in fact she was quite the opposite, she wasn't thin either. In fact she had a healthy physique it could be suggested she stored her calories where females need them most, hint, hint. Her sandy brown hair came to her shoulders, albeit it was covered by the bandana style hitae-ate.

"No. He said that I was going to be the bane of some unfortunate man's existence. Don't know why he would say something like that. Do I really come across as being that troublesome, Naru-kun?" the kunoichi of the dark brown hair asked as she looked to where Naruto was, only to discover that he was no longer there. In fact he had replaced himself with someone else, someone who was far more annoyed with her.

The annoyed individual was her cousin, Shikamaru who had a rather unhappy look on his face as he raised his right eyebrow. He then grabbed his leading annoyance at the moment by her collar and began to drag her. "Okay now that you're done harassing Naruto, its time to go. I would rather be home, than at one of Ginshin's notorious parties." he said with mild irritation to his voice as he dragged the girl he considered a sign of the end times out of the house.

Needless to say all the evening, Naruto was accosted by his fanclub and some how escaped when they began arguing. Needless to say an interesting life was ahead of the young boy, there was no telling what would come his way next.

The next morning…

Silence, it was almost too quiet in the house, and that was never good. The sunlight was breaking through the window as dawn was coming, but the silence was broken by a small giggle followed by light foot steps that came faster and faster. "ONII-CHAN!!!! GOOD MORNING!!!!" came a sudden shout from the energetic Ginchiyo as she flew through the air, the culmination of this flight planted her knees into her brother's stomach.

"GAHHHHHHHH!!!!! THE PAIN!!!!" Naruto shouted out in agony breaking the silence of the morning.

Sipping on his coffee Ginshin was hardly fazed by the sound of the painful awakening his foster son suffered. He seemed to enjoy hearing it, but not in a sadistic manner, just like it was comforting to have.

"Gin. I really think we need to teach Ginchiyo not to do that. Now that we have neighbors I don't think they will like hearing that every morning! I don't want our neighbors saying, 'Yeah, that's where those people live!' then we will be asked to leave the village!" Shizune began as she was starting to freak out, and overreact to the behavior of their daughter. She tended to worry about things too much, but her husband didn't worry at all about stuff, he figured it was all just the natural course of things, that, and the fact he thought it gave his daughter character.

"How do you know they aren't already saying that? It's pretty odd for a guy to have two wives. But it's an upgrade from what they used to think about me, I used to be referred to as Gin the Manwhore. And don't worry your pretty head about it. I'll find ways to break her of that habit. Trust me! Have I ever let you down before?" as he finished this sentence, he came to realize one time he let her down, and began to dread having said that sentence. Laughing nervously, he rubbed the back of his head, "Don't answer that." is all he could say.

"Gin-tousan...this is your fault!" exclaimed Naruto as he walked into the kitchen where Ginshin and Shizune were, he then pointed to Ginchiyo who was smiling quite proudly of her previous actions. "I don't have to be up for five hour's and this devil in the flesh of a girl planted her knees in my stomach…"

"That's the third time that's been told to me. I wonder why...?" the silver haired Jounin queried as he rubbed his chin, though in his defense this was the first time it was told to him outside of child delivery.

"Uh…Gin that's what most women say when delivery a baby because it is your fault after all..." Tenrei coldly stated as she walked into the room her blonde hair a complete mess, from behind her bangs a demonic glare came, this caused her husband to double over in pain from the sheer force of the glare. "Now…I'm going back to bed…keep Ginchiyo quiet…and give Naruto some breakfast…and no. You cannot give him Ramen cooked with beer!" that said the blonde woman stormed off heading back to bed to get some more sleep. The literally ugly truth was that Jinketsu-Hananosei Tenrei was not a morning person.

"Well you heard that Nag, what would you like for…-WHOA!!" the wolfish shinobi suddenly yelped in shock as a kendo shinai was thrown in his direction.

"I HEARD THAT!" she shouted in furious anger. This could be considered an average morning for this unusual household, and every morning Ginshin thanked the powers that be that he wasn't married to Shinka, because frankly she made Tenrei look like she loved to get up early.

Later that morning, at the academy…

Naruto strolled in to the room casual fingers laced behind his head as he walked to an unoccupied seat in one of the back rows. He had been fortunate, as it seemed that the war of the Fan Clubs had come to a cease fire after a few members of the Sasuke faction defected.

"Hmph…I see you haven't got the nerve to notice me, Naruto." coldly a voice came from behind the blonde didn't even crane his head to look as he stretched his arms. The voice came from a dark eyed girl her white hair was held back in a loose bun, her face covered up by a black mask, to be frank she was a spitting image of a certain other white haired ninja when he was younger. This was due to the fact she was a member of the Hatake clan, she was none other than, Hatake Seika. "Are you listening to me?" she asked as her brow furrowed in frustration at the fact he was seemingly to ignore her.

"Awwww! Naru-chan is sleeping!" chimed a cheerful girl wearing a Gothic Lolita style dress, her purple hair held up in a loose pony tail, she smirked as she peered at him intently. Mitarashi Goma, the much younger sister to a certain exam proctor, one would have to make the guess that their parents were rather obsessive with dango to be blunt.

"Typical! I try to talk to him and he won't listen to me!" exclaimed Seika as she glared at the boy whom irritated her so much at the moment.

"Seika…you might want to gripe and complain about the womanizer in training later, it's almost time to for them to announce squad assignments." interrupted another girl, wearing a former fitting sundress, her long wavy tresses falling elegantly over her shoulders as she pointed down towards the front of the class room. She then walked towards Goma and grabbed her by the collar of her dress pulling her away from Naruto before she could start to cuddle him. The niece to the Genjutsu Mistress, Yuuhi Kurenai, this was Yuuhi Sumire.

"Thanks Sumire." the heiress to the Hatake family said softly as she walked away quietly, she struck the whisker marked boy across the back of the head first waking him up from his nap in the process.

"Merrr…you know there are more polite ways to wake me up Seika!" the boy groaned as he rubbed the back of his head, he was not pleased with the strike to the back of his head. In fact he was very unhappy since he was having the most pleasant dream ever. He then shifted his eyes to the right, and then to the left, and he hung his head in sorrow. The President and Vice-President of his fan club were sitting next to him. Somehow they saw their opening when the other three girls left to move in and sit next to him.

"Alright, everyone please sit down and we will begin squad assignments!" exclaimed Iruka as he stood at the front of the room holding a clip board. Once everyone had quieted down, he cleared his throat and began to read off the list.

"Squad one, shall be comprised of, Uchiha Kako, Aburame Ari, and Heika Junko, with Hyuuga Kikka as the Jounin." as the instructor announced this, there were two nods from the class, and one crestfallen sigh. Kako the most feminine of the Uchiha triplet was displeased to know she wouldn't be on the same team as Naruto. Heika Junko was a bit of a brainy girl, a book smart girl by any measure she would perhaps be the team's genius. Aburame Ari, hidden under a hooded sweat shirt and sunglasses, she seemed to keep quiet like most of the Aburame, not really one for conversation.

"Squad two, shall be composed of, Uchiha Mirai, Hyuuga Tsukiakari, Yuuhi Sumire, with Houyoku Shinka as Jounin." as the instructor announced this there was yet another sigh, but this time it was followed by the sound of a head meeting the desk. A well rounded team it would seem, if you didn't take into account the nature of their Jounin, an accused pyromaniac kunoichi in her youth. Sumire stood to be the genjutsu expert of her team, seeing as her clan specialized in genjutsu. Tsukiakari would probably be the tracker of the team using the gift of the Byakkugan, she appeared to be a bit arrogant as an air of superiority surrounded her, she seemed to be from the main house as well, a very sharp contrast to Hinata. Lastly Mirai, a bit of a loose cannon as far as the Uchiha went, rather strong as Naruto could testify having been tackled to the ground by her.

"Squad three, shall be composed of, Haruno Bara, Uchiha Ima, and Iron Yue, with Jinketsu Tenrei as Jounin." as Iruka announced this there could only be one benefit for this choice of instructor, a team meant for infiltrations. It was the only logical conclusion, this was due to the fact that Tenrei was extremely feminine. Now the two other members of the team, Haruno Bara and Iron Yue, Naruto had no idea who these two were. He shifted his eyes about he lecture hall. He could only guess about the two, Iron Yue, she had black hair in a long braid, and seemed to be fond on Chinese clothes, he had heard some rumors that she had a brother with giant eye brows but never looked into it. Haruno Bara, on the other hand, Pink hair, held in a loose pony tail, green eyes, and a curvaceous figure. She seemed to be the more gifted cousin to Sakura.

Ima didn't show any visible disappointment at the fact she wasn't assigned to the same team as Naruto. She simply put wasn't likely to show any signs of affection for the boy. Truth of it was her feelings were much more genuine that those of her sisters, her affections were based on the bonds of friendship, rather than those of a schoolgirl crush that her sisters often exhibited.

"Squad five, shall be composed of, Nara Kasegi, Akimichi Tonbo, and Mitarashi Goma, with Jinketsu Ginshin as the Jounin." as this was announced Naruto simply winced, he felt very sorry for Ginshin having to tolerate two pains in the ass and the baby sister of someone he dated…or is dating. He wasn't completely certain on the matter to be honest since he had no idea who Ginshin dated and was dating, he really didn't want to know. He didn't want to be involved with every girl he met, maybe a few girls, but not enough to constitute manwhore status.

"Squad seven, shall be composed of, Sakuretsu Rekka, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke." as this was announced their were too loud cheers from the two girls, followed by a groan of disappointment from the one raven haired boy, as he was not pleased with the fact he would be stuck around annoying fangirls. A smirk of satisfaction crossed Naruto's face at hearing this, it was sweet, and the very fact someone he didn't like much had to suffer some was delightful.

"Squad eight, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, with Yuuhi Kurenai acting as Jounin." as Iruka was saying this there was a preoccupied look on the face of one of the three announced. That one being Hinata, she seemed to be rather sad at the prospect of not being on the same team as Naruto, she had high hopes that she would be able to be around him again. She would have to bide her time and wait for her chance, that is if she developed the courage to talk to him.

"Squad nine, will be composed of, Uzumaki Naruto, Sarutobi Saiyuki, and Hatake Seika, with Uchiha Furuchi as Jounin." as this sentence was finished, a loud groan of displeasure was heard through out the room. Naruto was most displeased by the fact he would have to be on a squad with Seika who he considered the bane of his existence, for numerous reasons. The biggest reason was simply put because Seika had the tendency to be condescending. A satisfied smirk could be made from behind the fabric mask that the white haired girl wore, since it would simply mean she could continue to give Naruto grief about his methods.

"Finally, Team Ten, will be composed of Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji, with Sarutobi Asuma as Jounin." as this final squad assignment was announced, there was a blood curdling scream of anguish. It would seem that Ino was most disappointed by this, decision.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THERE IS NOT JUSTICE!!! I SHOULD BE WITH NARUTO!!!!" the platinum blonde haired girl screamed in anguish as began to pound the desk with her fist throwing a tantrum.

"…What a drag…" groaned an irritated Shikamaru, rather displeased that he would be stuck with possibly one of the most annoying girls in the village. By his standards that is to say.

"Where you are to meet your Jounin's will be posted on the wall. You are dismissed and good luck." Iruka finished as he surveyed the students one last time, he knew it would be hard to accept that these are someone else's students now.

Moments later outside the academy as the students were exiting and heading for their perspective meeting places. "A loser being trained by a loser. Fitting, because you just got lucky yesterday, it won't happen next time." a sudden insult by the Uchiha clan heir came, this stopped the new squad nine in their tracks. Most notably was Naruto, he was growing sick of Sasuke and his pride issues.

"I wasn't lucky. I'm just what's the word that I'm looking for? Oh yeah. Skilled, I am much more skilled than you are. You wouldn't have survived a week training under the regiment of Yamagakure." was the reply Naruto gave before he walked smugly past Sasuke, seemingly one of the lessons he learned in the seven years seemed to be based on the grounds of psychological warfare. He turned and took a few steps towards Sakura, a grin on his face. "I got a question for you." he said softly, with wink, it seemed almost as if he were flirting with the pink haired kunoichi.

"No, Naruto. I won't go out with you. You're a barbaric liability!" the pink haired Kunoichi responded, obviously jumping to conclusions.

"No, no, no, I was curious…is your cousin single?" this was his question, he seemed to be ignoring the fact that Rekka was even there. This could only be considered as Psychological warfare to say the least.

"WHAT?! HOW DARE HE!! I'M MUCH PRETTIER THAN THAT BIG CHESTED BIMBO!!" the inner Sakura raged in anger, all the while numerous veins popped out of her forehead, her hands began twitching with the desire to strangle the boy. "…No…she isn't seeing anyone…" she muttered as she started to grind her teeth with animosity and hatred towards the boy.

"Thanks, see ya." the blonde ninja replied as he stuck his hands in the pockets of his coat and walked away. A sly grin on his face as he walked, this left the two kunoichi on his team rather befuddled at what he had done, it made no sense.

Moments later down town in Konoha, Seika grabbed Naruto by the ear and twisted. "What the hell was that about? It made no sense! You insult Sasuke's clan, you ignore Rekka whom I remind you, asked if fries came with that shake. And you ask Sakura if her cousin is single?! And yes, Rin taught me the dreaded earlock technique." the usually serene white haired Kunoichi was seething with anger as she kept twisting Naruto's ear.

"Psychological warfare!! Ow, ow, ow!!! Let go!!" he shouted in agony as his arms flailed pathetically trying to get free of Seika's grasp on his ear.

Upon hearing this, the Kunoichi released the blonde, her brows furrowed in confusion, she just didn't understand him.

"It's simple Seika. He played on each of their insecurities. Rekka is obviously an attention whore, Sasuke is an elitist who thinks his clan is better than those from normal families, and Sakura just needed to hear that her cousin is prettier." explained Saiyuki who had remained rather quiet during all of this, she was one of the ones who best understood Naruto and his tactics, she would know him best since the two had got into their fair amount of trouble when younger.

"Hmph. Same old Naruto. You just can't seem to get along with Sasuke it seems." the dark eyed kunoichi replied as a smirk formed under her mask. It relieved her to know that he was essentially the same idiot she knew. "I don't know why I expected you to change, you will always be the baka you are it seems. Let's go, unlike my cousin our Sensei will probably show up on time." she commented as grabbed Naruto by the arm and pulled him towards the direction they were heading.

Later at Training Field #9…

The trio arrived just in the knick of time, and there stood the man who would be their instructor from this point on. Uchiha Furuchi. He was no longer clad in casual wear of the Uchiha but wearing a black flak jacket which was unzipped with a black t-shirt underneath, arctic camouflage pants, and his hair combed back out of the way of his eyes. "Welcome. It's time to administer your test, to see if you truly are ready of being a Genin. I'm certain you three know the reason for this is to make sure you aren't a liability as a shinobi." quick to the oddly tanned Uchiha explained, as he formed hand seals creating three Kage Bunshin. "Your test…each of these Kage Bunshin will be carrying one of three scrolls marked with the following Kanji. Moon. Sun. Storm. I want each of you to retrieve one." he explained as tightened the laces on his arm guards, he then handed each of his replicas one of the said scrolls.

"You also have until dusk to acquire each. I expect you each to use the talents you have acquired through years of training to get these scrolls." he finished with a serious tone to his voice as he sat down under the shade of the tree, as he took his rest on the ground his three Kage Bunshin took flight into the surrounding forest.

"We have to split up…if we want to defeat them all." began Seika taking it upon herself to act as the leader of the three Genin. She then stopped in her issuing of commands when she saw something out of the ordinary. Naruto was lying on the ground with both eyes closed this didn't sit well with the kunoichi. "Ahem! This isn't nap time!" she exclaimed as her brow furrowed in anger, she was unsure why he was lying down in the middle of a test.

"Shush. I'm listening for which one is furthest away. I bet part of the test is to work as a team, so gimme a moment will ya?" he responded as he opened one eye for a moment giving the white haired female a rather odd look. He then closed his eyes again and began to listen to the surroundings, he then heard the one he was looking for, and swiftly hopped to his feet. "Let's go!!" he shouted with greet energy as he bolted forward vanishing into the foliage of the green canopy.

"There he goes again, running off half cocked. Will he never learn!?" Seika griped as she took off after the blonde. She was just certain they would end up failing the test because of the boy and his cocky nature. She sighed in disappointment and followed after him.

"Heh. You might just be surprised Seika." remarked the brunette Kunoichi as she summoned her steel staff and quickly vaulted into the forest following swiftly after her teammates.

Bounding and leaping through the sea of green the three Genin moved swiftly from tree to tree. "Mind explaining, Naruto? We have only until dusk to do this or we go back to the academy!" exclaimed the dark eyed kunoichi as she managed to catch up to Naruto whom was rather confident with the mission.

"Well ya see…I got this feeling. It's like he wants us to think going one on one is the right option. But we are to be a team. So we gotta work as one." explained the grinning genin as he pushed forward with great determination, his grin broadening as he spotted the first of the Bunshin that was ahead. Slowly reaching to his side, he wrapped his fingers around the hilt of his katana and grasped it tightly preparing to unsheathe it. He then sprung from a branch, diving forward pulling his arm back, he was preparing to strike.

"What are you doing!!! We need a plan Naruto!!" yelled Seika in shock of what her teammate was attempting.

"When a mission is time based no time to think. Unless you can plan while acting…you will be left behind. A shinobi has to think on their feet!" replied the heiress of the Sarutobi as she moved higher into the trees to gain the high ground having the utmost faith in Naruto.

'Perhaps…she is right…Naruto may be thinking…Kakashi said that the Shinobi of Yama may be rough around the edges but they get the job done.' thought the white haired Kunoichi as she moved along the same path she was going preparing some kunai. She knew she would have to use them to distract the replication of their sensei.

From above two Kunai struck the ground, distracting Furuchi whom craned his head to see where the attack came from. As he was doing this he was forming hand seals for a jutsu but this was interrupted when from above came the blunt end of a staff which he narrowly managed to avoid rolling to the side and out of the way.

"RAIJUU TEKKEN!!!" Naruto roared out as he thrust his right fist forth his arm now surrounded by a current of golden electrical charges. The Jounin jumped out of the way but this was just a feint as Naruto held a hunting knife in his left hand plunging it directly into the leg of the raven haired Jounin. With a twist of the knife, the man was brought down to his knees.

Flanking from the right, Seika rush as she sent several shuriken flying towards the Jounin whom despite being a Kage Bunshin still had enough strength to roll back and out of the way. As he was struggling to stand the hard steel of a bo staff collided with his solar plexus causing the replication to vanish into a puff of smoke, where he was standing a scroll marked with the character for storm dropped to the ground.

"One down…two to go, we can't use that tactic again…the remaining two will have figured out how to avoid those techniques. Especially since this one was using Sharingan." explained the masked Kunoichi as she knelt down to pick up the scroll placing it in a pocket on her pants.

"Well then…we'll have to show them what an Uzumaki, a Sarutobi, and a Hatake are capable of if they work together ne?" Naruto replied as he cracked his knuckles feeling energized to give it all he has.

"You got that right Naruto-kun. Besides…it's not like we just have those techniques." Saru-hime replied as loosened her shoulders resting her staff on her shoulders, as she snaked her arms around the shaft lightly.

"Hmmm…you have done well you three…Truth is…the scrolls were all identical." interrupted the black haired Jounin as he stepped out of the brush quietly taking a stick of strawberry pocky out of a box.

"The test was really to see if you could, A. think on your feet, B. work as a team, and C. utilize the skills each of you possess in harmony. Naruto, you are a varied combatant, using ninjutsu and close quarters. Seika, you excel in ranged techniques but also I know you can use close quarters. Saiyuki, you have potential to be a great mid range combatant as you can move swiftly and strike out of nowhere with your staff. Congratulations you three have passed my test. You are now full fledged Genin!" he congratulated the three Genin, actually smiling softly to them.

"Yes! Score!" exclaimed the blonde as he grinned broadly, ecstatic that he was now a full fledged shinobi of the village.

"Don't get cocky, baka!" responded Seika as she pulled her fabric mask down glaring at the boy, an icy cold glare at that. She would work with him, but she would be damned if she would tolerate the cockiness he had.

"Oh yes darling! I will be ever so careful not to be cocky in the future!" responded Naruto with much sarcasm as he and Seika glared at each other since it would seem old habits just die hard.

"Come on guys…let's try and get along!" interjected the brunette kunoichi as she waved her hands nervously standing between the two.

'I may have more than I can handle with these two…' thought the black sheep of the Uchiha as he looked at the three genin.

A month later…

"We have a new D ranked mission for you." began the elderly Sandaime Hokage as he picked up a scroll prepared to give team nine another mission.

"NO WAY!!" responded the young Jinchuuriki as he slammed his hands to the floor, he just couldn't bear to do another mission of this caliber. He was tired of getting groceries, picking weeds, delivering take out, or finding a cat.

"Now, Naruto, you are still Genin and you have to do a required amount of missions of this level. You lack the skills needed for a mission of higher difficulty yet." explained Iruka as he was the one who got to assist the Hokage this day.

"I can vouch for these three. They aren't slouches when it comes to skill. A, C ranked Mission would be good for them. After all they have already finished the required missions after all." explained Furuchi as he rubbed his temples lightly knowing it would be less stress to just get a C higher ranking mission for his team.

"I do have one in mind. Iruka, would you show our guest in?" asked the patriarch of the Sarutobi clan.

Iruka nodded and walked to the door and showed an elderly man in, an elderly man who looked to be piss drunk.

"You will escort, this man back to Nami no Kuni. It is imperative that he get their safely." explained the Hokage as he took a long drag from his pipe, exhaling the smoke through his nostrils.

"These are the ones you can offer? They look like they could barely do anything. Especially the rebel with out a cause." hostilely the old man stated, this caused Naruto to grumble, shortly after there was the sound of coughing and what appeared to be the word douche bag being uttered.

"They will be good enough. It is a simple escort mission, you can rest assured they will get you there." the Sandaime responded, not exactly pleased with how judgmental this man was.

"Fine…I'll be waiting at the front gate, be ready to go as soon as possible since I want to get back there as quick as possible." snapped the man before he walked out of the room. There was collective impression among the three Genin about the man, and that was, he was an asshole.

"Okay you three get your stuff and meet at the gate in an hour. This will be your first C Ranked mission." the Uchiha stated as he stood to his feet walking to the door. The three Genin nodded and headed out to their respective homes to get ready for the mission. Because they were headed for Nami no Kuni, they didn't know what to expect, but it was gonna be a test of their skills.

End chapter II…

Author's notes: And there we go. Sorry it took me so long I kept getting stuck. I will try to get the next chapter out sooner. But there are parts I'm not happy with, but I may come in and retouch them. See you next update!
