Chapter Start

A few weeks after the teams were announced, Naruto was heading in to report to his father, the Hokage, that the mission he had been given was completed, using his shadow clones of course. During those few weeks Nagato had taught him everything he could to Naruto about using his Rinnegan to the best of his abilities. Also, as one of the Rinnegan's powers was the summoning of animals without handseals (not sure if this is true but I never saw the Animal Pain use handseals when he summoned those beasts in the anime), he had Naruto see what summons he would be most suited for. As it turned out, he was most suited for the Dragon contract, and after a VERY brutal test set forth by Slifer, the Dragon Boss, Naruto was head of the Dragon Summoners.

"Dad, we're back! That's another D-rank mission in the books!" Naruto proudly exclaimed.

"Wow, Naruto", the Yondaime said, "that's your 50th D-rank mission you've done so far this month!"

"Well, with shadow clones I could probably do 50 more by the end of the month." Naruto joked.

Just then, Team 7, composed of Karui, Sakura, Sasuke, and their team leader, Kakashi, walked in. "Our mission is completed Yondaime-sama." Said Kakashi.

"Yondaime-sama", Karui said, "do you think we could get a C-rank mission now? I mean I'm pretty sure we've done the minimum number of D-ranks we need to do before we get a C-rank mission."

"She's got a point, Yondaime-sama", replied Kakashi.

"Yeah, I mean it would be a nice change", said Sakura while her Inner Sakura (another reason I believe Sakura to be crazy lol) was saying, I'M SICK OF ALL THESE D-RANK MISSIONS, SHANARO!

The Yondaime smiled and asked, "Naruto how would you like to accompany team 7 on their mission?" This got Karui smiling because she'd get Naruto to herself for a while, Sasuke to grunt while thinking Naruto would just slow them down, and Sakura to facepalm and secretly curse the Hokage, not wanting to spend any time in the "blonde baka's" presence.

Naruto readily accepted the Yondaime's proposal with a smile while looking at Karui. "Very well then", Minato said, "bring in Tazuna."

As Tazuna walked in, he said "This is the team that's gonna protect me? They look pretty weak to me." Which got frowns out of all of them, though Kakashi's couldn't be seen thanks to his mask.

"Especially the Duck-Butt Haired kid", Tasuna said smugly, "I bet he's the one who would run away first!" This got Sasuke to throw a few kunai at Tazuna, just bearly missing his neck and right arm.

"You were saying?" Sasuke asked.

"Now I feel much safer!" Tazuna proclaimed, while sweating bullets.

Minato sighed and began to tell them about the details about the mission. It turned out that Tazuna was a Bridge builder and he needed protection from a group of people who apparently didn't want him to finish his job.

"All right, team 7 and Naruto, We'll meet at the front gates in one hour to start the mission." After everyone agreed to the time to meet at the gates, Kakashi shunshined away somewhere in a cloud of smoke.

(Timeskip no Jutsu)

(3 hours later at the front gates)

Naruto, Team 7, and Tazuna were waiting at the front gates with the same question on their minds: 'Where the hell is Kakashi?'

"Sheesh, can't your teacher even show up on time? This really questions your ability to protect me!"

"I wouldn't worry about a thing Tazuna", Sasuke suddenly said, "After all, you've got the best of the best protecting you, an Uchiha, an elite of the village, a-"

"Oh for Kami's sake, Sasuke will you shut the fuck up?!" Naruto yelled. "So you're an Uchiha, oh my god, WHO THE HELL CARES!"

Before Sasuke could think of a comeback, Naruto heard someone scream "NARUTO-KUN!" and found himself glomped by Fu.

"Sorry, Naruto-kun", Fu said, "but I just had to see you off! After all Karui's gonna have you all to herself for Kami knows how long! So I'm just gonna give you a little "good luck on your mission" present." And with that she firmly pressed her lips on Naruto's and snuck her tongue into his mouth the first chance she got.

"Don't be stingy, Fu", Karui said "I may have him for a while, but that doesn't mean I cant do that with him too." And with that she too latched onto Naruto's lips and repeated the same action of putting her tongue in Naruto's mouth.

"Are you done yet, dobe?"Sasuke asked irritated.

"You know, Sasuke", Naruto said, "you could try kissing a girl for once, you know?" which go Sakura getting dirty thoughts.

Sasuke was about to say something back, but at that moment, Kakashi decided to show up. After Kakashi got yelled at by Sakura and Karui for being late. Everyone in the group, minus Fu, set off on their mission.

'Come back safely, Naruto-kun', Fu said, 'I just hope I can stay sane with Kiba and his passes until you return.'

Chapter end
