Disclaimer: First Chapter
Story Start!
1 small mistake.
1 attack collision that changed the course of history.
"Hey, asshole, remember when you tried to kill me, and made our planet unlivable for the foreseeable future?" Naruto tossed an apple he was eating up and down, before he flung it across the room and hit his friend in the head with it.
Uzumaki Naruto, age 18, job... Contract Worker.
Uchiha Sasuke, age 18, job... Contract Worker.
"I remember... and if I recall... your attack was half of the attack that did it." Sasuke caught the apple after it bounced and threw it back at Naruto. The two of them, combined, had launched attacks at each other during their final battle that ended up causing their planet to get fucked over so bad that there was no chance of saving it. "... and if I recall correctly, if we had been a couple hundred kilometers higher in the air... maybe it wouldn't have happened that way." Sasuke pointed out.
Both of them were missing arms.
Naruto his right arm, with his arm being replaced by a wooden arm with a hollow inside that he used his chakra to pilot as if it were his arm. Sasuke was missing his left arm, and he had nothing to replace it.
In their final battle, they flew up into the sky and battled.
They didn't fly up high enough.
They wiped out all plant life on the planet, and destroyed more than half of the surface of the planet itself... all because they weren't high enough in orbit before their attacks collided with each other. At the moment, they were safe and sound in another world, one that Sasuke used his Rinnegan to take them to. After their attacks clashed, it took them finishing their fight before they realized what had happened.
"Fuck you."
"Yes, I know... work sure is slow today." Sasuke was used to this treatment from Naruto. It was an accident, but they both played a part in it. When work was slow, Naruto took to insulting him and reminding him of what they did. Nobody died in the explosion, the Shinju tree branches protected all of the people... but now that the world was not safe to inhabit, they needed to find a new world in order to bring their people to.
They also needed funds.
Along with funding, they needed a large enough space to fit millions of humans from their world, all of which would be freed from their plant prisons after those conditions had been met. It would take hundreds of years before they were all converted into White Zetsu like the previous victims of the technique. They had been on 3 other worlds called Earth, but this 4th one was the most suited so far.
"It sure is slow." Naruto caught the apple and spun it on his finger.
The door opened.
A pink haired woman entered the room.
Uchiha Sakura, age 19, job... Wife of Uchiha Sasuke, Contract Worker, Doctor.
"What are you guys talking about... where is Kakashi... I'm positive he was here not too long ago?"
"He's doing work in China right now..." Naruto told Sakura, since she had been in Russia accepting a private request to heal somebody of their cancer. She made decent money traveling the world as doctor, or rather, a doctor that worked on the black market with her mystical healing techniques. The rich and poor alike used her services, but as to not stir up trouble, she remained a closely guarded secret. "... Job?" Naruto asked her.
She swiped the apple from his hand, and took a bite of it after him.
"Well, yes and no... mystery letter asking us to take a job training some devils... we're suppose to meet them within 3 days if we accept the job... and we have 7 days to train them." Sakura stated as she tossed the letter to Sasuke, instead of showing it to Naruto. "A silver haired maid devil delivered this letter to me from a mysterious client." Sakura stated.
Sasuke flipped open the letter.
Dear Uzumaki Delivery Service,
I am willing to pay a very large sum of money, if you would use your special services to deliver a wonderful 7 days of training to this group of young devils. In 11 days, they will be faced with a challenge, and they have 10 days to prepare for it.
If you accept this job, and train them for 7 days, I will reward you with a payment of no less than 50,000,000 US Dollars.
If they have success in their challenge, I will more than double the amount.
You had 3 days to head to this location.
"The back of the letter is a map... Sakura, how much money is that?" Sasuke asked as he tossed the letter to Naruto, who looked it over. Sasuke wasn't the one who kept track of currencies around the world, he left that job to Naruto and Sakura... both of which were very good with money.
"A lot... that is a lot of money. Teaching some people for a ton of money, and getting them to succeed for even more money is a good deal." Sakura pointed out as they looked at Naruto. She and Sasuke both gave Naruto the final say in what jobs they took.
Both of them were... morally neutral at best.
Naruto was the one with a good moral compass overall, combined with the fact he seemed to always know which course of action was the right one by instinct, made him the best for deciding jobs.
"Where is the location?"
"It's in Japan, just a couple hours away if we run across the ocean in a straight line and stay together... you know I can't run as fast as you too." Sakura stated, since their current base of operations was in Australia. It was a mostly empty place, so they were able to exist without raising any suspicion for the most part. Naruto and Sasuke could make the trip in a few minutes, but she still needed about 4 hours to make the trip across the ocean. "... and to make sure you two don't leave me behind... I'm taking the map." Sakura plucked the map away from Naruto.
She already did all the research on the exact location the map would lead them to.
Naruto asking that question already told her and Sasuke both that he was pretty much giving them the okay to take the request. It would be stupid of them to not accept such a large sum of money, for such a little amount of actual work.
"Considering we're working with devils, this is going to be combat training... I'll go get my sword." Sasuke got up and left the room. Sakura tossed the apple to him. "... No thanks, I don't want to bite anything Naruto has eaten."
"EEEEEEWWWWW!" Sakura jumped back away from the apple.
...
"Ow... I do brush my teeth you know. It isn't that gross." Naruto deadpanned sadly at her overreaction to eating from the same apple as him. Sakura tried to play it off with a cute look, but he sighed and looked at his wall of tools.
"You kissed me and my husband."
"EEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!" Naruto had the exact same reaction as Sakura did as he ran over to the trashcan and tried to puke into it. "... well... when did we kiss?" Naruto asked after a moment.
"During the war, don't worry about it if you don't remember."
"Wait a second... you don't get to say that and then walk away. Uchiha Sakura, you come back here and tell me when we kissed damnit!" Naruto chased after Sakura when she ran out of the room.
How dare she dangle that information in front of him and say nothing else on the subject!
"You two, stop being idiots and get ready to go meet the clients."
Naruto, the Goofball Leader.
Sasuke, the Serious One.
Sakura, the Serious Goofball.
That was their dynamic, and it worked for them.
Chapter End!
Please Leave Me Lots of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
Reworked Mystery Shop a bit because I was bored, and I decided it needed some reworking.
