8 Chapter 7

"Sakura at Point A"

"Sasuke at Point C"

"Mylia at Point B "..

"Naruto at Point D! Believe it !!"

"You're too slow Naruto !!" Kakashi scolded.

Currently we were on a mission to capture a lost cat named Tora. Apparently it ran away from the Daimyo.

"Alright team 7, target has moved !! Follow it!" Kakashi ordered.

We jumped in pursuit and followed the cat.

Mylia hid behind one of the trees, her hand fan covering her face.

"What's your distance from the target?" Kakashi asked in the earpiece.

"5 meters! I'm ready, just give the signal!" Naruto said, glaring at the cat.

"Alright, wait for it.wait for it..now !!!" The others, minus Mylia jumped for the cat.

Naruto managed to grab it which startled the poor cat. Mylia watched as Tora scratched Naruto's face, before sighing softly.

Mylia walked towards him while putting away her hand fan.

mylia gently took the cat away from Naruto and started to pet Tora's fur softly.

He automatically started to purr loudly.

"Can you verify a ribbon on the ear?" Kakashi asked.

"Yea, it's a positive I.D" Sasuke replied.

"Alright then, lost pet Tora captured. Mission accomplished." Kakashi stated.

Naruto got up and glared at the cat as we proceeded to head back to the Hokage's office.

We watched as the cat was being smothered into a hug by the Feudal Lord's wife.

Mylia sweat-dropped.

"My poor Tora !!!!! I was so frightened! Why did you run away !?" The lady asked, still mushing the cat in her death grip.

Mylia watched in pity as the cat tried to escape her clutches. Naruto was grinning evilly at the cat.

"Serves you right, stupid cat !!" Mylia smacked the back of Naruto's head softly.

"Ow .." Naruto rubbed his head, while giving mylia a toothy smile.

Mylia smirked behind her fan before they all faced the Hokage.

"Moving on, your next task is to babysit the chief counselor's three year old; helping his wife do shopping; weed the garden-"

Naruto cut off the Hokage.

"No way !!! I wanna go on a real mission !! " Naruto exclaimed, glaring at the Hokage.

Iruka ended up yelling at him, and Grandpa Hokage gave us a really long boring speech about missions we could and couldn't do.

"Grandpa Hokage, with all due respect," mylia began. The Hokage and the others looked at her..well her eyes -_-

"I agree with Naruto. I think we are fully capable of going on real mission. We could use some experience out there in the real world. None of the boring normal stuff." Mylia explained.

Then ,She and Naruto high fived as Iruka slammed his arms on the table.

"idiots! You're still a novice ninja! Everyone needs to start with- " "-sensei no need for all of those stuff .. we aren't that weak. At last we have kakashi-sensei. " She pointed at him while grinning as Iruka shook his head.

" but it's for your safety. " Iruka looked at Mylia with serious look as she blushed slightly and looked away.

Naruto started shouting again as kakashi punched him.

"cut it out." Kakashi said.

The hokage silently listening and watching them arguing.

Mylia silently watch Iruka while Iruka staring at her back, they kept looking at each other. Kakashi noticed that but he didn't want it to seem obvious so he kept looking at the hokage then pulled Mylia close to him. Kakashi felt a glare coming from Iruka as he looked back at him and gave him a closed eye smile.

Mylia looked at both of them as her cheeks turned red. She walked next to Sakura since she was a girl. Mylia started to focus with the third hokage again.

Later she saw Naruto sit at the ground so did Mylia because she too tired to standing.

"Ano...ne, I had tonkatsu ramen yesterday, so I'm going to eat a miso ramen today and try tonkatsu ramen cause I never tried it before." Mylia said while closing her fan as their team stared at them.

"Listen!" The hokage yelled as Kakashi sighed and apologized as Mylia and Naruto turned to the hokage.

Sasuke was interested of how a girl can act like that. To him, Mylia was special even after they kissed a little awkwardness built there because of his jealousy,but still the amount of love for her is uncountable.

"you always lecture me like that pops." Naruto said then crossed his arms and turned away again.

Kakashi seemed to be troubled as he looked at Naruto.

He looked at Mylia which was already looking at him. He blushed but it wasn't visible from the mask 'thankfully I wear a mask.'

The Hokage looked at Naruto and then at Mylia thoughtfully before sighing.

"Alright then, I'll give you a C-Rank Mission. Your job is to escort someone" He said.

"Awesome, believe it !!! So who are we gonna escort !? A Feudal Lord ?! A Princess ?!" Naruto rambled on, while mylia just smiled behind her fan.

"No" The Hokage deadpanned at Naruto.

"You can come in Tazuna" Mylia widened her eyes behind her fans.

"Tazuna? " *Mylia said in a slow voice*

The door opened and Sake immediately filled Mylia nose.

"Huh !? A bunch of snot-nosed kids !? You, the one with the idiotic look on your face, you expect me to believe you're a ninja !?" Tazuna looked at Naruto in disbelief.

"Hahaha, who's the one with the idiotic look on their face?" Naruto dumbly asked.

Sasuke and Sakura immediately lined up next to him and that's when Naruto realized it was him he was talking about.

He suddenly glared at Tazuna.

"I'LL DEMOLISH YOU !!!" Naruto raised his fist, Mylia then placed het hand on his shoulder.

"Ku ~ ku ~ ku..It's been a long time, Tazuna".

Everyone looked at Mylia confused of how we knew each other, as she covered half her face with her Kimono sleeve.

Tazuna looked at her in surprise.

"Mylia? It's been a long time! Where's Tylia? You've been doing well I see" He complimented me.

Mylia giggled behind her sleeve .

"It has been a long time. I've been doing great by the way. As for Tylia, well she wasn't in my team, we have been separate by force and placed in different team.." she closed her eyes and sighed

"Um ... Mylia ? How do you know Tazuna?" Kakashi asked her, looking curious.

Mylia glanced at him.

"Ano ne.. I've visited his home country before with Tylia and Mama to......" Mylia trailed off, not wanting to reveal anything else.

"Interesting .." Kakashi looked at her in wonder.

Mylia stared blankly before looking ahead.

"Now that I know Mylia will be coming along, I having nothing to fear" The Hokage looked at Tazuna before looking at Mylia.

Mylia just shrugged her shoulders.

"My name is Tazuna and I expect you all to keep me safe until we reach my home land" Tazuna lazily said.

"Alright everyone, go home and pack whatever you need. We'll meet at the gates at 1:00" Kakashi ordered .

We all nodded.

"Everyone is dismissed, except Mylia. I need to talk to you about something important" Grandpa Hokage said.

Mylia nodded her head and waited till the others left.

They gave Mylia confused glances before heading out the door.

"Iruka, if you don't mind?" Iruka-Sensei nodded his head before exiting the room.

"What is it?" Mylia bluntly asked.

"Mylia, I need you to be completely honest with me" Grandpa Hokage started.

Mylia nodded her head, already knowing what he was going to ask.

"Kakashi told me you used an A-Rank Jutsu. Is this true?" He asked her.

She nodded her head. "It's true" .

Grandpa Hokage nodded his head .

"I had a hunch it was true. You and your sister're no mere Genin. I sensed a lot of power coming from you two ." Grandpa Hokage confessed.

Mylia sighed.

"You're right. We're not a Genin. We are an S-Rank Ninja" mylia admitted.

Grandpa Hokage's eyes widened as he stared at her in shock.

"We've been trained by our own mother and Tylia personally inherited mother skill about poison and some stuff that very secret of our family and I also been trained by someone exceptionally powerful, I won't say who it is though. I'm extremely skilled with all types of Jutsu's. My Chakra is immense because I have plenty of chakra reserves. Not to mention I have inherited my mother clans Kekkei Genkai; Akuma no devil's Style. " Mylia told him.

Grandpa Hokage observed her before speaking.

"I never thought you and your sister were an S-Rank Ninja. I'm curious to know why you haven't been placed in the Bingo Book" Mylia chuckled in amusement.

"That's because we hid our true skill level. We don't want people knowing our true potential. Grandpa Hokage, I request that you keep this information private." Grandpa Hokage nodded his head.

"Of course, I wouldn't want my granddaughter being targeted, now would I? However, there are two things I'd like to know ..." Mylia looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

"What are your nature types? I have an inkling you have more than one nature type" .Mylia chuckled softly.

"I do. My chakra natures are Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Water Style. Including my Kekkei Genkai meanwhile Tylia chakra nature are Earth, Water and fire and also she immune to any kind of poison because she born with that." Mylia informed.

Grandpa Hokage's pipe fell out his mouth. It took him a moment before he regained himself. He puffed out some smoke.

"May I see your Kekkei Genkai?" Grandpa Hokage asked.

Mylia nodded her head. She closed her eyes and activated her Akuma no devil Style.

Mylia opened her eyes and Grandpa Hokage looked at them in pure wonder and astonishment.

"Incredible." He murmured.

Mylia closed her eyes and deactivated her Kekkei Genkai before opening her eyes and whipping out her fan, placing it back in front of her face.

"Interesting. Now that I think about it, the Akuma Clan was supposedly descendants from the Sage of Six Paths himself. Child, you and your sister are more powerful than it seems. It is an honor having you and your sister as a Konoha Ninja, young girl."

Grandpa Hokage smiled warmly at Mylia. She smiled back, her fan in her sash.

"Thank you for accepting me and my sister. I promise Grandpa Hokage, I'll do my best to rid this earth of the evil that inhabits it. I'll do everything in my power to protect this village, my friends, my family and others who are in need and were wrongly convicted and accused. I will save this world from hatred. " Mylia vowed.

Grandpa Hokage proudly smiled at Mylia.

"I have no doubt that you will. You carry the will of fire in your very existence. I'm proud to have you and your sister as granddaughter" Mylia nearly had tears in her eyes before nodding her head.

"The information you have told me will be kept in secrecy. No one will know, only if you yourself decides to tell them" Grandpa Hokage said.

Mylia nodded her head before thanking him and exiting the his office.

"Child, I have no doubt that you will do everything in your power to protect the ones you love. 'Devil softly said.

Mylia hummed.

' Thanks for believing in me Devil. I'll do my best to save those who need saving.'Mylia told him.

'Even if you stumble along the way and face many obstacles in your path, I'll always be here to help, guide, and protect you.' Mylia smiled in her mind.

'Thanks Devil ...' Mylia mentally said.

She went home and packed any necessities in her scroll and exited her house. She walked towards the Gates and waited for the others. When they arrived, we made our way out the village and started our journey to the land of waves.

I'll protect the ones I love ...

**With the team 10**

Tylia pull out the weed carefully, shaking off some if the dirt that came with it.

"This is boring," Ino complained as she continuously changed the setting on the hose.

Shikamaru grunted from his spot in the shade, tired of hearing Chõji eat beside him.

"Tylia tell them to help!"

"What will that do?" Tylia ask, thoroughly weeding around the plants.

"Asuma-sensei left you in charge, at least tell Chōji to stop eating all the food you're weeding." Ino started watering the plants with a light mist.

"Chōji, chew your food twenty times before you swallow." A glance toward Ino told Tylia she wasn't satisfied,

"Shikamaru your shades about to run out." He rolled over further into the shaded area.

"You suck." She says, turning the hose on Tylia.

Tylia shriek as the cold water started drenching you, she changed the setting to a less than friendly stream of water.

"H-hey! Stop it, that's cold. And it hurts!" Tylia try to keep the water aimed at her palm but she occasionally hit her face.

"What do you think you're doing! You're ruining the garden!" The owner yelled as he exited the house, his face turning red.

"Not only have you eaten half of them but you're drowning the ones in the middle." He points to where Tylia were sitting, surrounded by a muddy puddle.

Ino guiltily looks at the ground with an accusing glare at Chōji first.

"Just get out, I'm not paying for this." He says, pulling Tylia up by her arm and shooing her out of there yard.

"I think I'll t-take a shower." Tylia start turning around, but Asuma gently pushes you forward.

"Nope, we're cleaning the river. So let's get started!" He says, appearing with a new mission.

"Can't we get a real mission?" Tylia whine, following her team.

"You have to do these missions before you're ready," Asuma denied.

"We are ready, Shikamaru is smart enough to know when to be serious, Chōji is very good at following plans, and Ino can step in when things go wrong!" Tylia argue, even going as far as stomping her foot.

"What about you?"

"If anyone is poisoned I'm your guy"

"Why am I not surprised?" Asuma sighed before smiling gently.

"I'll tell you what, you do a good job on cleaning the river and I'll see what I can do about a better mission. Deal?"

"Deal!" Ino grins happily, dragging Shikamaru and Chōji behind her.

Tylia trail after the three of them and Asuma follows behind her, carrying trash bags for the mission.

"What kind of stuff have they thrown into the river?" Tylia ask him, matching his pace. He glances down, smoking like he often did, before smiling.

"Lots of stuff Tylia, I'd be careful where you step as there's lots of glass in that river."

"What? Why would anyone throw glass in the river, how dare they! That could seriously injure someone."

"Yes, it could. Which is why you're cleaning it." Tylia mentally groan but nod anyways.

"It'll be spotless, I swear."
