Chapter 5:
Two months have passed since Team 7 was formed. They've done one mission each day, as well as training everyday as well.
"Say, Kakashi-sensei? When will we get a better mission?" Naruto asked.
"It's rare for Genin to get any mission higher than D-Rank just two months out of the academy. You need to prove to your Jonin Sensei that you're ready for it. However, I will try to get a low level C-Rank mission for us to go on, as a test. If you do good, I'll consider allowing this team to get more C-Ranks. Just so you know, to do good by me means to do what I say, when I say it. If I tell you to abandon me and continue the mission, I expect you to do as you're told."
"But Kakashi-Sensei, we're not going to abandon you!" Sakura complained.
Kakashi sighed in exasperation.
"Look, if it was up to me, I'd be proud of your dedication to your sensei. But it's not. By not abandoning me, and possibly losing your life in a situation where you could have fled is not honorable. it's stupid. I'm sure you've seen the memorial stone at our training ground. Those have the names of those who died honorably in the line of duty. It's mostly comprised of Chunin and Jonin, but there are a few Genin on there, like Obito."
"Wait, Obito Uchiha? He died honorably? I was told that he sacrificed himself for a stupid cause." Sasuke commented.
Kakashi frowned. "I take it your family told you that. Well, it was because he sacrificed himself that the mission I was on succeeded. It was only because of my new Sharingan eye that we managed to hold the Iwa-nins back enough for Yondaime-Sama to end the war."
The three Genin nodded. Sasuke especially knew what it felt like to lose someone you cared about.
Team 7 arrived at the Hokage tower and entered it, going up to the Hokage's office, and entered.
"Ah, Team 7. Here for another D-Rank mission, I presume?"
"Not this time. We're here for a C-Rank mission."
"You have done 60 D-Ranks. That should be enough for a C-Rank, and I've got the perfect one. Bring the client in."
The office door opened shortly after, and in stepped an old drunkard. he carried a sake bottle, and was currently inebrieted.
"So, is this my protection? They all seem weak, especially the short one."
"What? Which short one?"
Sakura and Sasuke got closer to Naruto, and what looked like dotted lines showed each member's height. Naruto was the shortest by an inch. This infuriated him, and he tried to get at the man, but was held back.
"I'll show you!"
He focused chakra to his right hand, which caused his glove to glow red.
"Take this! Katon: Endan!"
A fireball appeared in his hand. He made a motion as though to throw the fireball, but was stopped when Kakashi used his other hand to grab Naruto's arm.
"We're not allowed to blow up our client. Save it for your enemies. Now, Sir, I believe we didn't catch your name."
"That was because I didn't throw it. The name's Tazuna. I'm a master bridgebuilder, and you are assigned to be my protection on the way to my home in Wave Country. You are to keep any bandits or low-level Nuke-Nins away from me on the way there, as well as while I finish my bridge."
"By low-level, you mean D- and C-Rank, right?"
"That's right."
"So we won't meet any Nuke-Nin registered as B-Rank or above?"
"There's always the possibility."
"True. Team, pack for an extended mission. Approximately one month. Meet at the North exit in one hour.
"Yes, sir!"
The team dispersed to get ready.
Team 7 is preparing for their first C-Rank mission. What dangers will they meet. Find out in the next chapter of Kistune Saiyan Refurbished.
A/N: That's the end of the chapter. Please R&R.
