Hello kitties

I'm slowly updating chapters, and some might be short and others long. For I'm going over the stories to remember where I was in them.

Like always I do not own Naruto or Sailor Moon.

CHAPTER 9

Naruto and Usagi leaned against the gates awaiting their other two teammates and Sensei as Asuma had been early but had to go and find their Client as the man was missing or might have over slept.

Outside of civilian bar Asuma's right eye twitched as he found his client passed out pissed drunk. 'You have to be fucking kidding me. I should have known this man was a drunk when I met with him yesterday. But I just wrote it off. Just thinking he just had a few drinks once he arrived in town.' He thought to himself shaking his head. He let out a sigh as Kakashi walked passed him with his nose in his little orange book.

"Having trouble with your client?" Question Kakashi putting his book down to look at the drunk old man on sitting against the wall passed out.

Asuma looked over at Kakashi with a glare. "Yeah you can say that." He said taking another drag of his cigarette. "Do you think you can use a low level water jutsu to wake him up for me?" He question with a little hope on his face.

Kakashi let out a sigh now. "Yeah. I guess I could." He said as he went though a few hand signs and spit out a low power water stream from his mouth at the passed out drunker before them.

Coughing could be heard. "Wh-what the hell? Why in hell am I water?" Asked the old drunk as he looked up at the two men standing before him.

Kakashi just eye smiled at the old man. "Well you have to leave now to return to your own Land and Asuma here and his Genin are waiting for you." He said with that same creepy smile.

"Good Morning Mr. Tazuna-san." Said Asuma as he let out another stream of smoke from him mouth.

The now named Tazuna just glares up at the two Jonin standing before him. "You could have just shook me awake. There was no need in getting me wet." He grumbled at that two men.

Letting out another sigh. Asuma now glares at the man on the ground before him. "I do." He told the old man. "It is time to leave before my Team comes looking for us." He growled out as he already had enough of his mission and was about to offer it to Kakashi. But knew better as Naruto was would raising hell. For this is the first C-rank mission that has come to the village in the past three months and he had to jump at it once it came in yesterday after meeting with his father.

Ino and Shikamaru come walking down the road seeing their sensei and an old drunk and Kakashi just standing there talking.

"Sensei." Said Ino looking at them a little confused.

Both sensei turn to look at the blonde in a dark purple ANBU outfit standing next to a lazy teen in a dark hunter green and black ANBU outfit. "Hey you two. Head to the gate and the Client and I will be meeting you four in a few minutes." Said Asuma as Kakashi just chuckles as nods to the two teens as they nod their heads back at the silver hair man.

"Alright sensei." Said Shikamaru with a yawn. "Come on Ino. You know Naruto and Usagi are waiting for us and we don't want to be late." He tells the blonde next to him. Ino nods her head as they take off walking leaving behind the old man staring at them.

Naruto let out a sigh. "What is taking them so long?" He asked looking back into the village as he spots his two teammates.

"I don't know. But Asuma-sensei did say he had to find out client. So that might what is keeping him." Said Usagi as now Ino and Shikamaru are now standing before them.

"Yeah we just ran into Asuma-sensei. He and Kakashi-sensei are standing before a drunk old man." Said Ino to her two teammates.

Naruto nods his head. As Usagi just hums to this.

Rounding the corner is Asuma and Tazuna. "Your team better protect me on my way home and while I finish my bridge." He tells the smoking man next to him.

"You do not need to worry about my Team. They are the best we have." Said Asuma with a smile on his face as he thinks of his Genin team that is as strong was the best ANBU team and that team belongs to Commander Kitsune. He just chuckles as he has the same man training his three other members of his team as well as himself.

They come to a stop before the four teenagers. Tazuna just blinks looking at the three blondes and the only boy with raven locks. "You're telling me that children are going to be protecting me?" He question as he wasn't sure if he felt safe anymore.

Naruto tilts his head to the right looking up at the old man. "You have nothing to worry about old man. We have the best track record out of all the Genin and at this moment we are as strong as the best ANBU team out there." He said with a cocky smirk on his face.

Tazuna narrows his eyes at the blondes claims. "You best be brat." He grumbled out as he began walking out of the village as Naruto had already signed out the whole team along with the client.

Forest outside of Konoha

Two men hide in the shadows watching for their prey to their way.

"Soon we will be heading back to the Land of Wave with our mission carried out." Said one of the men with a gasmask on.

"That we will brother." Said the other man as he grins placing his gasmask back on as he had taken a drink of his water.

Team 10 and Client

Asuma walks right next to Tazuna as the four teens are in formation around the old man and their sensei.

Shikamaru lets out a sigh and looks up to the sky. "This is going to smoothly." He tells the others as they nod their heads in agreement with his statement.

"Something about this mission just feels off." Said Naruto as he looks back at the client as he stretches his arms and lets out a yawn.

"Well only time will tell." Said Ino as Usagi just nodded in agreement with her friends and teammates.

"So old man. Tell us about the Land of Wave. I don't think I have ever had a mission out that way." Said Naruto as he stops and looks at Tazuna who was sweating slightly at the boy.

"Well there isn't much to say about my Island home. Besides as are a Port Island for exports and imports as well as fishing. I just want to build a bridge to open up more trade routes for our land." Said Tazuna as he seemed lost in his own thoughts about what is happening back home.

Naruto nodded his head and looked over at Shikamaru. "Is that what you found out about the island in the research I had you do last night?" He asked the other male member of the team.

"Yeah, Also found out that Gato of Gato shipping has set up base there for his shipping company as he was ran out of Kiri. Because of the Civil War going on and some shady dealing he had going on in the background." Said Shikamaru.

Naruto stopped once more and turned to look at Shikamaru. "What shady business?" He question as he was now kicking himself for not asking before they left the village.

Shikamaru took out a notepad from his pocket and walked over to Naruto as Ino and Usagi gathered around to listen in on what Shika had found out.

Asuma arched a brow at his and looked at the client who was looking pretty nervous right now and walked up to his students to find out what Shika had all found out about this man named Gato.

"Well what I was able to find out from your network is. That Gato has dealings in the black market with human trafficking, drug trafficking and illegal weapons. He has been behind several high profile assassins on Lords of several Lands as well as businessmen." Said Shikamaru as he looked up from his notes.

Everyone looks at Tazuna as if he grown a second head. "What are you hiding from us?" Asked Asuma as Naruto looks at Shikamaru's notes.

Tazuna falls to his knees. "My village is poor. Gato is bleeding us dry and is kidnapping all our women and children. He has killed any men he stands up against him." He said with ugly sobs and tears rolling down his cheeks.

"This mission has gone up. It is no longer a C-rank. By what notes Shika has here. This mission is now A-rank, maybe S-rank. For there are reports that Gato was seeking Zabuza and the Demon brothers to work for him." Said Naruto as he let out an annoyed sigh.

"So are you going to abandon me?" Question Tazuna as fear curls up in his stomach.

Team 10 looks at each other and nod their heads. "No we are not going to abandon you." Said Usagi as she couldn't leave this man in his time of need.

Tazuna beings bowing to the girl before him. "Thank you." He cried looking up at Team 10.

Asuma lets out a stream of smoke and lets out a deep sigh as he looks at his students. "So, Naruto are you taking command of the mission?" He asks the only blonde male of the team.

Tazuna looks at Asuma confused at this point. "Are you not the Sensei of this team?" He asked the smoking Jonin.

Asuma laughed. "I am their sensei. But Naruto here out ranks me. Even though he is playing Genin at time being because the Hokage wishes for him to have friends his own age." He said with a laughter.

Naruto lets out annoyed sigh. "Nah. You can take led of the mission. I will only step in if we run into Zabuza." He said running his right hand though his hair.

Tokyo

Sailor Pluto stands in Rei's bedroom as the girls beg the older Sailor to seek out their missing Princess.

"I am sorry, But with Usagi using the Late Queen's secret passage. I am unable to track her. Unless she wishes me to. As of now. She doesn't wish to be found." Said Sailor Pluto looking at the four girls and two talking cats.

"Thank you for trying Pluto." Said Luna with another sigh.

"Oh Usagi. Why didn't you come to us." Said Luna as she began crying once more.

Rei looked away. "she didn't come to us. For we were horrible friends to her. I can't blame her for not coming to us. Hell I wouldn't have come to us either we I was treated the way we treated her." She said looking away.

The other girls just nodded their heads to this.

I'm leaving off there. Next time we have trouble on the road and bastard princess finds help to get away from the bastard she calls her father.
