Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze1117 – Thanks, I like to use jutsu that aren't used very often.

ZeroKaze – Thanks for the translations.

Ryuujin96 – Thanks and they did as the seal wouldn't have worked without Sasuke and Hinata, also Naruto is the leader of the team. Yeah, that was the only way I could think of to show he has some limits.

MidnightHunter563 – Yes the Henka Kūeki will get more modes as he gets more powerful with the more rings, it will also have a surprise. And I hope you like how I have the Wave mission planned.

Chapter 8 – New Life Begins:

Naruto's Bedroom –

Naruto woke up with a pounding headache; he kneaded his forehead and sat up slowly. "That seal is a killer." He moaned as he stood up and looked around his room and saw a note on his bedside dresser. He walked up to it and picked it up. It read:

"You passed but try to calm down with the seals their Blondie."

"He's just asking to be pranked." Naruto said to himself.

Naruto walked out of his room and walked down stairs and saw Kushina in the kitchen. He walked in. "Hey Kaa-chan, how long was I out?" He asked.

"You were out for a few hours. What Fuinjutsu did you use that knocked you out?" Kushina asked.

"Fūinjutsu: Sanpō Fūin"

"Naru-kun, you know that seal is too powerful for you."

"I know but Hinata and Sasuke helped to power it, also it was the quickest and most painless way to stop Kakashi-nii."

"OK fine, just promise me that you'll not use that seal until you are a Level 4 Fūin Meijin (Seal Master)."

"Ok only another two levels to go."

"Good boy. Now here's dinner and Kakashi said to meet with Hinata and Sasuke at Ichiraku tomorrow at 9am."

"Thanks."

Naruto took the plate and went into the dining room to see Minato sitting at the head of the table. "Hey Tou-san, what's up?"

"Nothing really Naruto, I heard you passed the Bell Test."

"Yep."

"I'm proud of you. I used that test on my genin team."

"What was your team like?"

Minato got a sad expression on his face. "Troublesome, is the only word that comes to mind. There was Obito Uchiha who was a motivated kid who dreamed of becoming Hokage, there was Rin Nohara who was a medic nin who loved her comrades and was the crush of Obito and finally Kakashi, who was different to how he was now, he was arrogant to the point he thought he was better than Obito and Rin. The team didn't work well until the mission that killed Obito; to this day I regret not being on that mission."

"Sorry for bring up bad memories."

"No it's fine."

"What was your team like?"

"My team?"

"Yeah the gennin team you were on."

"Oh, I wasn't on a team as Jiraiya-sensei took me on as his apprentice straight from the academy."

At this moment Kushina walked in with her dinner and sat across from Naruto.

"What was your team like, Kaa-chan?" Naruto asked.

"I wasn't on a team either; I was the apprentice of Tsunade-sensei for a while before she left."

"Oh, so basically you both are like the new Sennin."

Minato and Kushina looked at each other and nodded. "You could say that." Minato said.

The rest of the night was normal, the family finished their dinner and Kushina helped Naruto with his Fūinjutsu lessons for a couple of hours. Naruto went to bed.

Ichiraku Ramen –

Naruto walked into the stand at 10am to see Hinata and Sasuke just receiving their orders. "Hey guys, what's up?" He asked the two.

"Nothing Naruto-kun, just ordered some ramen." Hinata said.

"How long you been here?"

"5-10 minutes." Sasuke replied.

"Oh ok. Anyway Ayame-chan, can I get my usual?"

"Sure Naruto-kun, it's almost ready." Ayame replied.

Naruto sat next to Hinata and waited a minute before Ayame came back with Naruto's Miso Ramen. They chatted for a bit before Kakashi walked in.

"You're late." Naruto said without turning round.

"Sorry a black cat walked out in front of me so I had to go around, the long way." Kakashi lied.

"Hmm, interesting never knew The Stone was a black cat." Naruto said.

"What are we doing today Kakashi-sensei?" Hinata asked.

"Well we'll do some training this morning, starting with the Tree Walking exercise to help with chakra control, then depending on how fast you do that we'll look at some elemental training, then this afternoon we'll be taking some D-rank missions." Kakashi answered.

"Cool let's get started." Naruto said as he paid for his ramen and stood up.

Hinata and Sasuke mimicked the action as they paid for their ramen and left.

Training Ground Seven –

Team 7 arrived at their training ground and walked to the wooded area of it. They each stood in front of three of the tallest tree they could find, with Kakashi stood behind them. "Ok guys I'm guessing with who your parents are you already how to do this, so show me how well you can do it." Kakashi said, he then pulled out three kunai and threw them next to each of them, "use them to mark your progress. Now go."

Each of them nodded and picked up the kunai next to them and ran at their respective trees. They all channelled chakra to their feet and started to run vertically up their tree.

Naruto got half way up his tree before the bark under his foot erupted; he reacted quickly by slashing the tree before back flipping and landing next to Kakashi.

Sasuke got three quarters of the way up the tree before his foot didn't stick and slipped on the bark, he also reacted by slashing the tree and back flipped to land on the other side of Kakashi.

Hinata however got to the top of the tree and stuck upside down on one of the branches, she looked down to the others with a smile on her face before she released her chakra and flipped in the air and landed perfectly in front of the others.

"Nice Hinata-chan." Naruto said.

"Good Hinata." Kakashi said.

"That was impressive Hinata." Sasuke commented.

"Thank you." Hinata replied.

Kakashi turned to Naruto. "Naruto your chakra control is lacking compared to Sasuke and Hinata." He evaluated.

"I know ever since my Kongō Fūsa started having a mind of their own my chakra control took a hit." Naruto replied.

"Is there any way to fix it?"

"No way that I or Kaa-chan can find as it's the first recorded time in the Uzumaki history in which the Kongō Fūsa act like this. Watch." Naruto activated his Kongō Fūsa and two chains came out from his back and started his act similar to a snake as wave slightly, "I'll focus on attacking that tree." Naruto pointed to a tree but the Kongō Fūsa just stayed in the same place and didn't move. "See they have a mind of their own, throw kunai at me."

Kakashi looked at the blonde with confusion and worry but did what was ask of him. He pulled a kunai out of his pouch and threw it at Naruto. Kakashi looked on as Naruto didn't react so he was about to intercept the kunai but was stopped when one of his Kongō Fūsa moved and deflected the kunai.

"See, I don't have control over them for some reason."

"Ok, that could be a problem. So let's continue with training, seems as your chakra control is good enough so let's move to elemental jutsus."

They continued for the rest of the morning doing training elemental jutsu. This was until 1pm when they went for BBQ for an hour before they went to the Mission Distribution Centre.

Mission Distribution Centre –

Team 7 walked into the room to see Minato and some chunin including Iruka sitting at a curved desk with tons of mission requests on top. They walked to the centre of the room and stood in front of Minato.

"Hey Minato-sensei." Kakashi said while his nose was buried in small pocket sized book.

"Hello Kakashi, I'm guessing you are here for a mission?" Minato asked.

"Yeah Tou-san." Naruto answered.

"Ok but because you are a newly formed genin team you can only take on D-ranked missions." This caused the genin to groan. "Here is a mission for you." Minato finished as he handed a mission request to Kakashi.

Two Weeks Later –

"Target sighted." Naruto said into his headset. "What's your status?"

"I have eyes on the target." Hinata replied.

"Ready to strike." Sasuke commented.

"Go team." Kakashi ordered.

Sasuke jumped out of his hiding place and ran at the target. The target noticed Sasuke and ran away however Sasuke kept up.

"Hinata now." Sasuke said.

Hinata jumped out in the path of the target. As soon as the target saw this and turned left and continued to run. Hinata just stood there and smirked.

"The target is heading your way Naruto-kun." Hinata said as Sasuke turned to follow the target.

"Thanks Hinata-chan." Naruto said as he made the clone seal causing smoke to appear of tree branches around him.

He looked down to see the target ran just below him, he nodded to the Kage Bushins and they all jumped down to surround the target. Once they were on the ground and surrounding the target the original jumped down and caught the target.

"Mission complete… again." Naruto said with a sigh.

"Can you confirm it is Tora the cat?" Kakashi asked through the comm.

"Yeah, brown hair and a red ribbon on her right ear." Naruto answered.

"Well done team meet at the place we agreed."

"Roger." They all said in unison. Naruto dispelled all his clones and took off with a squirming Tora in his arms.

They all met at a clearing in the wooded area they were in. "Let's get Tora to her owner." Kakashi said as the three nodded.

Mission Distribution Centre –

The team arrived to the centre to see a large woman known as Madam Shijimi, the wife of the Fire Daimyō, standing before Minato. She turned and lit up when she saw Tora in the arms of Naruto. She ran up and snatched her from him and started to smother the cat against her face.

"Oh my baby girl, why do you always run away from me?" She said.

Naruto leaned into Hinata's ear and whispered. "I think I know." This caused Hinata to giggle.

Hearing Hinata giggle, Madam Shijimi turned to the genin. "What's so funny?"

"I was just making a joke." Naruto said, bluntly.

"Oh and what was it about?" Madam Shijimi said in a scary tone.

"About why Tora always runs away."

"So you think you know something I don't?"

"Of course, see at the minute you are strangling her, not cuddling her. Be a bit gentler and she won't run away as much."

Madam Shijimi took the advice and the cat stopped struggling and started to purr once Madam Shijimi started to stroke Tora gently. "Wow, thank you young man. What's your name?"

"Naruto Uzukaze, ma'am."

"So you're the Hokage's child?"

"Yeah."

Madam Shijimi turned to the Minato. "You have a good child there Hokage-san."

"Thank you Madam Shijimi, both me and Kushina are extremely proud of him." Minato said with a small nod and smile.

Madam Shijimi then walked out the room with her purring Tora in hand. Once she left Team 7 turned back to Minato.

"Mission complete." Naruto said.

"I can see that Sochi." Minato replied.

"We need another mission."

"Well I have: Help Harvest a Farmer's Field, Clean a Storage Room of…"

"Not chores we want a real mission!" Naruto interrupted.

"Show some respect to your Tou-sama, Naruto!" Iruka shouted, Minato raised his hand to silence Iruka.

"It's fine Iruka, they do qualify for a C-rank mission." He then looked at Kakashi. "I just need your approval Kakashi."

The three turned to their sensei with looks of desperation. Kakashi then looked to his sensei. "They're ready, Minato-sensei."

This caused the three genin to jump up in joy. Minato gave a small smile and looked through the mission requests before he found an easy one for the first of the team.

"I have one for you, you will be escorting a bridge builder of Nami no Kumi (Land of Waves)." Minato said.

"That sounds good." Kakashi said.

"Good," he turned to an ANBU. "Send in Tazuna." The ANBU nodded and disappeared.

After a couple of minutes the doors opened to reveal an old man with grey hair and a sake bottle in his hand, while he reeked of alcohol. He looked at Team 7 and scoffed.

"I paid for a shinobi team, not a group of brats lead by a jonin." He growled.

"I wouldn't underestimate this team Tazuna-san, they are all of the main house of the most powerful clans in Konoha, the one in the left is Sasuke Uchiha from the Uchiha clan, the one of the right is Hinata Hyuuga from the Hyuuga clan and the one in the middle is Naruto Uzukaze from the Uzukaze clan and my son." Minato said.

Tazuna paled and gulped from hearing this. "Fine they'll do."

"Meet at the Konoha Gate in 1 hour." Kakashi said to the three as they did and left the room.

Konoha Gate (1 Hour Later) –

The three genin stood at the gate waiting for their sensei to arrive with Tazuna. After a couple of minutes Kakashi walked up with Tazuna.

"What kept you?" Naruto asked.

"This guy was in a bar drinking his worries away." Kakashi said. "Anyway let's check your equipment."

The genin then proceeded to show Kakashi the equipment they packed. Satisfied by what he saw he smiled and nodded. "Let's get going."

The three nodded and left while showing Izumo and Kotetsu their shinobi IDs and left on their first C-rank mission.

"Let's do this!" Naruto shouted, to the amusement of the rest of his team.
