Future plans and Important matters
(3rd POV)
" What's your distance from the target?"
" Five meters and we have clear sight on the target."
" Okay. Go."
3 Gennin ran towards a cat and catch it.
" Ribbon on the left ear. Are you sure this is Tora?"
" Yeah.."
" Good, lost pet Tora, caught. Let's go."
They are non other than Team 7, on a mission to find the infamous run away Cat.
They start walking back for mission completion report. While walking Sakura trips on a Stone.
" Oww..." Sakura whimper
" Ara Ara~ Kakashi, it was already hard for her to carry her forehead, now she has to carry a forehead protector too, which doesn't even cover her forehead." Naruto said playfully, Kakashi sighs and sakura becomes dejected at the comment.

### In HOKAGE office ###
.
A crone could be seen, harassing a cat. Crone is Fire country Lord's wife and cat's name is Tora.
" Now Kakashi's team 7, Your next duty is..." Old fart (hokage) is interrupted by a rather calm yet loud voice.
" No No No.." Naruto interjects
" But I haven't even said anything, yet" Old fart protests
" I know you were going to say ' Your next duty is babysitting, lawn cleaning, blah blah blah'. And now you are going to say 'How did you know'." Said Naruto while making a strange pose.
" How did yo-" Old fart gasps and everyone's eyes goes wide in surprise.
( Hive Five if you get the reference )
" Well, that doesn't matter. I want mission worthy of me or I'll send a clone from now on."
" Sigh, Fine I will give you a C-Rank mission. It is an escorting mission for a certain individual. Will you come in already." Old fart spoke defeated.
An old man comes inside the room, wobbling and bottle of alcohol in his hands. Age? I know, I can't tell age just by looking.
" Huh?, What's this they are a bunch of Super brats." He said looking at the Gennins " I'm The super expert bridge builder, Tazuna. I expect you to provide me super protection until I get back to my country and complete the bridge." Old man who is now Tazuna said.
" Ok, Team you will meet me at the Main gate in 30 minutes, bring whatever you see necessary for the mission." Kakashi said, team is going to prepare and Naruto vanishes in a puff of smoke, Not surprising anybody as they are use to it now.
### At the Main Gate ###
The team and Tazuna are going to wave country.
" Umm... Tazuna-san? you are from the wave country, right?" Sakura asks tazuna and starts the conversation as in canon, Naruto tunes them out.
(Naruto POV)
It's almost been a month since i became a part of team 7 and things are going great.
I can now sense all the Anbu watching over me and I don't like it, not one bit but patience is a great virtue.
We have completed many D-Rank missions and I got bored on 3rd day so i send a clone for D-Rank missions.
As others are talking, i just tune them out and talk to kurumi.
" You have become strong, brat. But it's not good enough." Kurumi spoke appraising Naruto strength
" I know. My taijutsu is decent but not good enough, i think I'll need the Power Of Youth." A shiver run down KURUMI's back as he understands what Naruto is talking about.
" Yeah, those creatures might be the thing you need."
" Hmm and my ninjutsu is good, I'm efficient in using all the jutsu i have, I'll work on nature change of Wind, Fire and Lighting after some time. My kenjutsu is developing well, Gekko is really good in kenjutsu, that i have to agree. He was surprised to see my progress is an understatement, He is running out of things to teach me, thanks to my 'Quick Mastery'.
Fuinjutsu..hmm...now there's a problem there. No on here will give me the required knowledge or help for that and I can't count on jiraiya, He after all, did abandon his god son for his 'research', knowing full well what would happen to me. To be honest, i kinda lost majority of my respect for him."
" I think think you should learn Medical jutsu too. It will help you in critical moment and now that you have a good control over your chakra, it won't be that difficult." Kurumi suggests
" That's a good idea. So I will learn basic Medical jutsu after this mission and Improve it with Tsunade's help. And I think I will leave village and go Uzushiogakure for training, I have no doubt there will be appropriate scrolls for learning Fuinjutsu and i might find some treasure there." Naruto contemplates
" Hmm, but when, it's not like they let their precious Jinchuriki leave the village, then theirs Akatsuki." Kurumi said with I hint of sarcasm
" True...So instead for going to train with jiraiya, i will go to Uzushiogakure." Naruto and Kurumi decides.
As Naruto and Kurumi are done with their future plans, They come across puddle of water. Kakashi watches one with suspicion but doesn't let it show on his face. Just as they cross the third one, Naruto speaks
" Can they be anymore obvious?" As in right on cue 2 ninja jumps from the puddle and wraps chains around Kakashi, Kakashi shows a panic expression and the ninjas pulls the chains wrapped around Kakashi, tearing him in pieces.
"One Down" The ninjas say in unison and disappear from their previous spot, appearing behind Naruto, who shows no panic, he just grins and disappear from his spot, appearing behind the ninjas.
He then moves his hands at such high speed that all anyone see, is a blur, He grabs both their heads at the same time and slams against each other, but he is not done, his grin grew wider and he slams their faces on the ground.
This all happens in a couple of seconds.
" Seriously, this is all you've got? Weak." Naruto spoke in Disgust.
' They are weak?' Sakura and Tazuna thinks bewildered at how strong Naruto is.
' He is faster than before, I wasn't able to follow his movements at all. Naruto...How are you getting so strong this fast...' Sasuke clutches kunai in his hand, his hand gets white from the strength he is gripping.
" That is quite enough, Naruto." Kakashi's voice is heard from a tree, Sakura and Tazuna turns their head to see where the voice came from, to see Kakashi walking towards Naruto, or the ninjas in front of him to be precise.
Sasuke just glares at Naruto, who just shrugs it.
" Ohh you are alive... and here I thought we will get a new jonin for sensei. Well, Saves me the trouble." Naruto playfully said almost sounding depressed at Kakashi being alive.
" And here i thought you liked me." Kakashi said. " Sorry Kakashi, I don't swing that way, but i believe there's someone better for you." Naruto says and An image of guy giving thumps up comes to his mind.
" Anyways, Sorry for not fighting from the start but i had to see who the target was." Kakashi said totally ignoring Naruto's last words.
They then have their canon talk, With kakashi stating that this is at least a B-Rank mission.
" We aren't ready for this mission,yet. Let's quit." Trash (Sakura) suggests.
Naruto was about to speak up but Surprisingly Sasuke beat him to it.
" NO. We will complete this mission. C or B Doesn't matter, I'm not the one who would be scared of these Mist Ninjas." Sasuke retorted
" He is right, you know. I take a mission, I complete the mission. Simple as that, besides we should hear Old man's side of the story too." Naruto says casually while leaning on a tree with his eyes closed.
Tazuna looks at Naruto with a grateful look in his eyes. He then proceeds to tell his story about Gato(Or whatever fatty's name was) and involvement of Zabuza, which Naruto doesn't pay that much attention.
While Tazuna is telling his story, Naruto is contemplating Important matters.
' Hinata isn't developed yet, but looks cute being a loli. Hmmm I think I should wait till Shippuden for a relationship, after I'm strong enough. Then There's Tsunade, How should I approach her.'
Seeing Tazuna is Done with his story, Naruto speaks up
" See, We should help them and we can't pass a chance on fighting strong enemy, now can we?" Tazuna looks with even more gratefulness and... admiration? at Naruto, who doesn't know shit Tazuna said.
" Sigh, Fine, lets continue the mission but you have to be alert all the time and listen to my orders." Kakashi sighs in defeat and spoke with a serious look.
" Hai " Sakura says scared, Sasuke looks happy at the chance of proving himself and getting stronger and Naruto...well he is busy eating chocolate.
