I don't own Naruto in any way shape or form

Asuma watched as his cute soon to be genin(hopefully) walked into training ground 10. Standing up he decided to explain the rules quickly to get this over. "I'm glad you're all here on time( he received 2 glares and a yawn for that) Now if you can get me to drop my cigarette before I finish it you are officially team 10. How about we get this show on the road shall we? Begin!"

Hopping a few distance away he watched as Shikamaru grabbed Ino and Naruto and jumped out of the clearing. Well at least one of them has some common sense.

wriggling out of Shikamaru's grasp he yelled "Shikamaru what the hell? Why did you grab me I was about to clobber that guy!" He glared at shikamaru when Ino bopped him on the head

Sighing Shikamaru hated to be the one in charge, he just wanted to look at clouds all day.. "Naruto you couldn't defeat him and neither could we so we need to come up with a plan so I need to know what your able to do.

Blushing a bit Naruto calmed down what would Kurenai-sensei think if she saw him blindly rushed in? Scratching the back of his head "Well I know a few genjutsu, I can make real clones and I can make a few traps...not much but it's all I got."

Nodding his head the young Nara closed his eyes and put his hands into a O shape. Opening his eyes he started to tell them his plan.

Asuma was getting tired of waiting for them and the cigarette was burning out too. Taking a long puff he spotted the tell-tale signs of a genjutsu. Seeing that his surroundings changed he quickly put his hands into the release sign and whispered "kai." he saw a barrage of shuriken fly his way. Dodging to the side he purposely set off a tripwire that sent a tree trunk flying towards him.

Grabbing a kunai from his back pouch he charged it with wind chakra and threw it at the trunk, effectively cutting it in half. His eyes widened when he heard a male voice call out "Bringer of the darkness jutsu" and everything around him went dark as he was enveloped in a world of Asuma wasn't an experienced Jonin for nothing pulling his hands into the seal for release he noticed that he couldn't move his limbs. Using all his muscle power he broke the jutsu and quickly broke the genjutsu..only for him to feel a presence invade his mind.

Finally pushing Ino out of his mind (boy did that girl have a strong will) he noticed that Shikamaru was holding his lit cigarette in his hand. Smiling "Well done I'm impressed with the plan you came up with. To celebrate the forming of team 10 how about I treat you guys?"

Throwing his hands in the air and dancing around like an idiot at finally being on a genin team "RAMEN *coughing* I mean how about we go get ramen?" Asuma smiled at Naruto and ruffled his hair.

"Sure why not? Lead the way Naruto" He, said as he and the rest of his team followed Naruto towards the ramen shop how much could a small boy eat anyway?

Watching Naruto eat his 20th bowl of ramen in shock, Asuma couldn't help,but feel sorrow for his wallet. So much for asking Kurenai out on that date tomorrow...Deciding to put an end of this before he went bankrupt he clapped his hands together "Well I'm sorry to end this so short,but I must get going meet me at the Hokage's office for our first mission tomorrow" putting his money on the table he quickly shunshin'd out of that place.

Walking into the hokage's office Naruto couldn't be any happier today he was finally going to get a real mission "So old man what do you got for us? are we gonna go rescue a princess or are we gonna save a village from a mean old tyrant?

Chuckling at his surrogate grandson, this was the very part about being hokage crushing young genin's dreams with D-rank missions. ah the life "I'm afraid not Naruto-kun, but I have a lovely mission that is of the utmost importance your team must paint 's fence"

Slumping his shoulders he groaned as Asuma-sensei lead them out the door to begin this horrible mission. Hopefully they wouldn't all be like this right? Thus Naruto started his horrible ninja career with crappy D-rank missions.
