(AN): authors note.

AN: sorry for the delay but a virus erased the chapter, real life got in the way. And most importantly I'm starting to loose interest in the pairing because of how much crap it has been writen for it ( seriously I can count the good naru/hina fics i've read recently with one hand) as such it has been chiping away my desire to write the pairing (I will still continue)

C ranked mission

Naruto woke up grumbling about slave-driving grandmothers that had no respect for others. It was beyond him why the hell did he have to get up so early. The sun was barely out and because Kakashi was his sensei he could afford to sleep another hour before he had to go train with his family or clansmen.

A moment later he arrived to the trainning ground he was told to go, he abstently noticed that it was the same trainning ground he used when Setsu trains with him in doton jutsus.

In the middle of the trainning ground stood his grandmother while Kyokudai was several meters behind her resting on the ground observing his partner doing something he had seen a thousand times before, and yet, it was as amazing as the first day.

Uzumaki Tatsuki was surrounded by a flowing river of hot, active lava that danced as she moved her hands and chakra accordingly.

The Uzumaki woman had her eyes closed, just reveling on the feeling of using her bloodline after so long. Then for a moment everything stood still, it was like the time had frozen everything in a tridimensional picture. Then she opened her eyes as her hands ran trough a hand-seals sequence at blinding speeds ending with dog.

"maguma no muchi (magma whip)" as soon as those words left her lips her left hand was covered in blue chakra, that in turn had a thin red string of lava coiled around it incapable of reaching her arm. When the whip was ready Tatsuki flicked her wrist making the weapon sail trough the air and lash at the tree several meters in front of her taking a good deal of the bark and leaving the part where the whip struck in flames.

She discarded the whip and started another hand-seal sequence ending in dog again and called the name of the jutsu while striking the floor with her rigth fist "youton: funkazan tsunami no jutsu (magma release: volcanic tidal wave)" and like its name a huge wave of active magma raised in front of her and moved foward ten meters before crashing down and setting avery combustible thing in it's path on fire.

"that was really cool!" exclamed a voice to her right startling her. Since she was so focused on her exercise she didn't sense the presence of her grandson until he spoke up.

"yeah it was, wasn't it?"

"I wish I could do that"

that comment was something Tatsuki winced at, as it was her wish to see her bloodline in use as well. It was known that Sumire and Naruto had the bloodline in their genes, if the elemental affinities of her daughter and the high prowess of Naruto with katon and doton were any clue of it, however Sumire was incapable of mixing it the elements and Naruto didn't even had the affinities to begin with.

But seeing his face she couldn't help but to hope, who knows he migth be able too.

"while it was good that you saw that I called you here for reflex trainning," Naruto groaned at the comment, knowing that he will be sore the rest of the day.

Naruto moved trough the streets of konoha while rubbing a particular sore spot in his left arm from the morning's practice, if he didn't know any better he could've sworn his grandmother was trowing those blunt kunai that hard on purpose.

When he arrived to the bridge as usual a interesting person was there along with his team. It was none other than Mitarashi Anko, who was tapping her foot on the ground and for teh looks on her face, she had been waiting for him for a while.

"where have you been gaki? I've been waiting for nearly an hour an a half"

"I had reflex trainning with grandma," was Naruto's answer.

Anko however wasted enough time already so she was not in the mood for smalltalk "so do you have it or no"

"yeah I have it arigth"

"so where is it?"

Naruto shook his head from left to right and spoke in a tone akin to a father chastising a child "Anko-chan did you really think I would give it's location to you just like that? What kind of shinobi do you think I am?"

"a dead one if you don't fullfill your agreement" growled Anko.

Hinata, who was wachting the whole ordeal was panicing, was the love of her life involved in something illegal?

Naruto turned serious and asked "what about you? Do you have your part of the agreement"

The tokubetsu jounin took out an envelop from her trench coat "right here"

The blond gave a nod to his animal partner who dissapeared into the forest and came back with a folder in his mouth "here's what we agreed on. Iruka sensei's daily schedule"

Some migth ask why would Naruto give something that important to someone like Anko, the reason was simple; to Naruto Iruka was way too stiff, don't misunderstand to the blond genin Iruka was like the older brother he always wanted but never had, so when he found out that Anko was interested in the chunin he seized the oportunity to hook him up. After all if he was with Anko he was bound to loose up a little.

"and here's the five thousand ryo I promised," she said while handing the envelop at the same time she took the folder.

The money was just a bonus really.

"so tell me gaki, how did you do it?"

"observing, asking, talking, that sort of thing"

"by the way I have his adress if you want"

Anko pondered on the proposition for a moment before shaking her head and claiming that it wouldn't be fun if there was no secrets.

A little late after Anko left their jounin sensei appeared in a cloud of smoke; only to move out of the way using kawarimi as the space where he was standing moments ago was filled with shuriken.

"now Naruto what did I tell you about doing that?" asked Kakashi with a mixed tone of anger and annoyance.

"not to do it"

"then why are you still doing that?"

"because Chidori-chan told me to" he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Naruto, I don't care what your psycotic cousin told you to do..." Naruto suddenly blanched

"... I'm your sensei and you will listen to me, understood?" Kakashi said in a tone that left no room for discussion.

"he-he-he, good morning Chidori-chan," said the blond.

"Naruto do you actually expect me to believe that psyco is right behind me?"

and before he could get an asnwer or Naruto could provide one a feminine and very pissed voice interrupted them "what psyco is that Kakashi?"

the jounin stiffened and turned around slowly hoping that his imagination was playing tricks on him, unfortunately for him Chidori was standing there with her arms folded beneath her bosom and a scowl on her face that promised nothing but the utmost pain for him And clad in an outfit that if were other circunstances he would have enjoyed it .

apparently Chidori wanted to take a simple stroll on konoha and decided that her old jounin uniform, outfit that she hadn't wore since she was promoted to ANBU seven years ago, as a result it was not only tight in the chest area showing her c-cup, nearly d-cup breasts as they strained the fabric, but it showed her flat belly result of all the training she ahd taken during the course of the years and the pants were doing a great job in showing her ass. Of course that pales to the fact that he is about to be killed, and knowing her it would be in a very painful way. the only silver lining the situation had was that Anko was not in the premises.

"so who is this psyco you were talking about Kakashi?" she asked as her pupils became slitted.

Kakashi only stood there drenched in cold sweat.

She then turned to the genin and said in evened tones "okay brats Kakashi and I are going to discuss an important matter so leave"

Of course Naruto translated in his mind 'I'm about to castrate your sensei with a dull rusted kunai and I don't wanna scar you for life, so scram'

Naruto just nodded and proceeded to guide them out of harms way, and not a moment too late an explosion was heard and Kakashi passed them at full speed, followed by a infuriated Chidori that had in her hands what it looked like a rusted kunai that seemed devoid of any cutting edge.

As Kakashi took the roofs looked back hoping to see that he lost his pursuer and insured the safety of his unmentionables, unfortunately for him the blue haired female was still giving chase and was even more pissed if that was possible.

At the same time the gates opened to reveal a female that was entering the village, she had brown hair that reached the small of her back, brown eyes that showed sincerity and calmness, two rectangular marks on her cheeks and a small on her face that was a byproduct of being finally home after all those years of traveling, she wondered what have changed during her long absence, what remained the same and what was her ex-temamate doing in that moment, will he even remember her?

And as if answering her question Kakashi landed a few feet in front of her gaping behind his face mask "R-r-r-i-n-n-n?"

She smiled kindly and answered "hello Kakashi, long time no see"

And before he could say anything else he was stomped by the pursuer he had forgotten about. And before the blue-haired woman could extract her revenge on the cicloptic jounin a voice stopped her.

"hello Chidori it's been a long time"

the Uzumaki woman took a good look at the stranger in front of her before her eyes widened and moved towards her, accidentaly stepping over Kakashi in the way "Rin?!"

"uh-hu"

she gave the woman a big hug before taking a step back and looked at her, time did make change for the better "oh my god! Look at you!"

"like you, I grew up"

"come on we have a lot of catching up to do, I know a bar near" and both women went to look for the establishment leaving a knocked out Kakashi behind.

The next day was as rutinarious as it can get for team seven: get to the bridge, wait for his sensei to arrive two hours late, get to the tower to gather menial tasks that they call d ranked missions. And among them there was Naruto's 'favorite' mission: to catch that blasted cat.

So now team seven was in front of the hokage with the demonic furball secured by the skin of it's neck courtesy of Senkou who felt mighty proud of himself for catching the thing and keeping it secured within it's jaws. As far as the tiger was concerned the cat didn't deserve the name tora. As it was the tiger's opinion that it was shameful.

"good work team 7, now we still have some missions left: madam Maimyu's wants her bushes arranged, theres groceries to be delivered, fences to painted..." Iruka was interrupted by a familiar scream.

"NO TORAAAAA!!"

"and retrieving the daimio's wive's cat"

in that moment Naruto exploded unable to take more of the situation.

"no, no, hell no! I refuse to do more chores! We're ninjas for god's sake! Ninjas! Give us a real mission!"

"Naruto you're just a genin! You can't go on a difficult mission just like that!" said iruka before launching a speech about the mission ranking.

When he saw that no one was paying attention to him he was angry " hey are you listening?"

"yeah, yeah I know Iruka-sensei, but we've done enough of these chores to get at least a C-ranked mission"

the Hokage thought about it for a moment before adresing the jounin "what do you think Kakashi?"

"I think my team can handle a c ranked mission hokage-sama" he said making Naruto cheer.

He tossed the scroll to kakashi before calling in the client "your mission is a simple bodyguard job"

"who is it? A princess? a diplomat?" asked the exited blond.

As he said those words an old man stepped into the office, he smelled of sake making Naruto cover his nose and the tiger recoil.

"what is this? I paid for ninjas and you give me these brats?" he would've said more but he caught sight of the tiger in the room and how it seemed to acompany the blond kid, and he may be inhebriated, he wasnot dumb enough to piss of someone who had such animal with him regardless of size.

"don't worry tazuna-san they're quite capable of fullfilling the mission parameters, and if anything happens I'm a jounin," assured Kakashi.

"tch, fine, I'm the super bridge builder Tazuna so you better protect me with your life"

"okay team I want you to go and get prepared for a long term mission and be at the gate in two hours"

the two hours went fast and soon the three genin where in the marked gate were the find something really surprising, Kakashi was on time for once.

As they were about to move out two people called to them, they were Chidori and Anko, also Jaban was with them.

"Oi Hatake, we need to ahve a word with you," said the snake mistress.

Kakashi nodded and followed the two kunoichi and the jaguar to a secluded area.

As they reached their destination Kakashi was about to ask what they wanted when he was roughly thrown to a tree stunning him, and before he could recover he was grabbed by the collar of his vest and his unmentionables by Chidori.

"not one scratch Hatake, adn I mean it, if I find just one scratch in him when you return I'll rip your balls of with my own hands.." at this she turned her nails into claws and applied pressure to enphatize her point ".. and feed them to Jaban here. NOT, ONE, SCRATCH!" as she said the last part she was actually toucheng his nose with hers allowing him to see her now slitted pupils. Chidori then moved to let Anko 'talk' with him.

When Kakashi returned a couple of minutes later he was pale as a sheet.

"Sasuke you take point"

"what, why?" asked Naruto.

"because I said so"

"is e-e-v-v-e-erything arigth Kakashi-sensei," asked Hinata.

"yes Hinata, everything is arigth, now let's go"

and that is the beginning of their first c-ranked mission, little tehy did know how much their live's will be affected, specially Naruto's.

AN: done! Now regarding the note at the beginning It's a sad fact that with a few exeptions the quality of the Naru/Hina fics is starting to be greatly reduced and well, it a ffects my writing, I will continue the fic, I just don't know when I will be able to update this one ( seeing as I have other fics to look after)

As ofr the people asking for Kakashi/Anko the reason isin the chapter, I wanted to make a Iruka/Anko pairing, as for Kakashi Chidori won the poll, so the official pairng for him is Kakashi/OC (Chidori)

That's all, please review. constructive criticism is more than welcome. as for flames if you don't have anything good or important to say just keep quiet.

JA NE.
