... Honestly I have no idea what I'm writing so this might throw people for a loop but I think it's funny so if you enjoy it too please continue.

Sakura's mouth was wide enough for a bumblebee to fly in… maybe a few..at the same time. And though Sasuke was a bit more subtly his eyes were the widest that Naruto had ever seen,

"...You're early"

Naruto felt offended,

"Of course i am! It's our first c-rank mission i wasn't going to be late!"

Sakura's mouth closed slightly but the squint in her eyes clearly said she didn't believe him,

"You're late to EVERY mission…"

Naruto looked away rubbing the back of his neck as he usually did when he was nervous,

"Y-yeah well i'm here… ya know…"

Sasuke finally returned to the stoic cockiness that he had. And he scoffed,

"Lady Kushina probably made him."

Naruto gulped because it was true.

Somehow in the middle of the night he had once again managed to break his alarm clock and therefore was most likely not going to wake up on time. And he had been resting quite peacefully until his demonic mother had barged in the room screeching like a howler monkey that he was NOT going to be late for his first C-rank mission and well….. His mom wasn't called the red habanero just for her hair color.

But it wasn't like he intentionally tried to be late to all the team meetings. Sometimes his alarm 'broke' and other times he just ran into people. Like Guy who since Kakashi gave him so much attention had declared him a second rival and challenged him whenever they met. And then there was Obito, the hokage, who could be seen lingering around the village COINCIDENTLY on the days that he had important meetings. There were so many people he knew, not among civilians but in the ninja community the name of his father was spread wide so many would stop him and ask how he'd been; which wasn't his fault. There was only one person that he purposely stopped for, Rin. She was always kind and gentle and he loved her company but she was always so busy that on the rare occasions that he did bump into her he didn't care how late it would make him he was going to talk to her; speaking of…

"Hey Sakura when are you meeting Rin again?"

Rin was in charge of training future Medical ninja a program that Lady tsunade had proposed but had not been fully established in her time. Sakura blinked tapping her chin in thought,

"Not anytime soon, Lady Rin is really busy and right now she's running a course for Medical Chunin"

Naruto Hummed when they returned he'd have to hunt her down…

"My my is that my precious Naruto? Early?"

The three genin turned to look at their jounin who was walking toward them lazily,

"I CAN COME EARLY WHEN I WANT TOO!"

Kakashi gave a smile,

"That i am well aware of…"

"GOD! DON'T YOU START IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THAT CRAP YOU NASTY PEDOPHILE!"

"I really think i'm gonna be sick…"

"So you're from the land of waves?"

Sakura turned to the drunken man that had almost lost his life after making snide remarks at Naruto; the genin almost forgot how strong the jounin was.

"What of it?"

At least the man wasn't as drunk as yesterday,

"Well… I just don't see why you didn't just hire your own ninja? Why outsource to Konoha?"

"That's because The Land of waves doesn't have ninja"

Kakashi said. Sakura thought on it,

"Kiri would be the next village over…"

She turned to the Blue eyed child who walked carefree with his hands behind his head,

"But Kiri is going through some stuff right now so they are not assisting anyone, Not to mention Kiri's protection rate is nowhere near Konoha's whereas their assassination stats are top gun."

Sakura just watched the boy as he looked around absorbing the bright forest. There were times like these that Naruto scared her a bit. She hadn't met him until they were 8 and he had transferred in the academy. But the civilians were wary of him and often gave him dirty looks. His physical ability was no joke but he tended to sleep during class and failed most of the theory test. But every now and then he knew things that even she hadn't read about and she wondered how 'stupid' he really was.

"If you're so smart then tell us what's wrong with Kiri?"

Sasuke challenged slightly peeved that Naruto once again knew something he didn't,

"Ehhh…"

Came a confused sound that made Sakura sighed,

"Don't be jealous! Duckbutt!"

"WHAT DID YOU CALL SASUKE!?"

"...Dobe… you want to come over here and say that to my face?"

Tazuna, the client, raised a brow at the fighting children,

These were the ones who were supposed to protect him?

"Maa maa, everyone..!"

All three genin suddenly stopped instantly as they turned to see their teacher wrapped in chains and then pulled ripping him to shreds.

"One down, four to go"
