Rescue mission.

The two teams were running in the direction that Hiruzen had spoken, they ran in silence until Ino spoke.

(Ino): "So... Is Kusa no Kuni too big?"

(Kakashi): "No, it could even be considered small, although she has Shinobis."

(Ino): "But how do we know which part of the border they are coming from?"

(Naruto): "I can take care of that."

(Kakashi): "Are you sure Naruto? You haven't been reunited with any Team 8 members before your kekkei genkai activates."

(Naruto): "But I met their parents at that Gramps summons, and the children smell similar to their parents."

(Asuma): "My father talked about his kekkei genkai, but I'm still a little confused about it, isn't it just manipulation of the elements?" - He asks a little confused.

(Naruto): "No, my kekkei genkai transformed my body like a dragon and that includes the enhanced senses of one."

(Chōji): "Like the Kiba clan, which gives them canine characteristics?" - He is impressed.

(Naruto): "Yes, so I am immune to the elements."

(Sakura): "Naruto, you said all the senses, didn't you?"

(Naruto): "Yes, my vision and hearing have improved a lot too. Even with all those people in the village whispering, I could still hear as if they were on my side talking normally."

(Asuma): In information gathering missions you can be a key element." - He says he is increasingly surprised by the new Uzumaki.

(Naruto): "But, it reminded me of something, do you know anyone who has an affinity with Fūton?"

(Asuma): "Yes, I have an affinity with Fūton, why?"

(Naruto): "I would like to ask for some handling tips from Fūton."

(Kakashi): "Are you going to try to use Fūton on your kekkei genkai?"

(Naruto): "Yes, and from what I discovered, dragons related to the wind had healing skills."

(Sakura): "Our team is going to have another Iryō-nin."

(Naruto): "Not exactly, I will not be able to heal, because my own power does not affect me."

That left the others a little surprised, he would have a healing power, but he couldn't heal, that was a little disadvantageous.

(Kakashi): "But in the case of the Wind Dragon can you just suck in the air to refuel?"

(Naruto): "First, dragons that have the wind as an element are called Sky Dragons, second, no, only if they come from a jutsu, although I can 'taste' the air to see if there is something wrong with my others senses perceive nothing."

(Asuma): "How did such a powerful race just disappear?"

(Naruto): "They didn't disappear, they were exterminated, a black dragon went crazy and started killing all the other dragons until he was left, and in the end he just perished."

(Shikamaru): "Troublesome..."

(Naruto): "Indeed."

They kept running, stopping just to take a short rest, and at night, to be able to sleep. The next day, they woke up early, although Team 7 was incredulous that their Sensei wears that mask even to sleep.

They kept running until Naruto smelled several different smells.

(Naruto): "Several people ahead, I think it's the nukenins."

(Kakashi): "How many are you aware of?"

(Naruto): "About 20."

(Asuma): "Let's take it easy, to make sure they are nukenins and not just a merchant group, but get ready in case they need to fight."

(Team 7/Team 10): "Hai."

They went cautiously until they found a clearing where there were 20 people, all with bandanas that had a risk, indicating they were nukenins, they hid for fear of being spotted, they were still a little far away to be able to hear them, but Naruto managed to.

(Nukenin 1): "Shit! How can only 4 Shinobi, 3 of them genins, be so much work?"

(Nukenin 2): "I don't know, even though they were genins, they were keen."

(Nukenin 3): "Well, soon, our companions will bring them here, or find out where they hid."

(Nukenin 4): "That red-eyed bitch still pays me because of that genjustu... I will have a lot of fun with her."

(Nukenin 5): "Let's splits, then we treat the little girl."

Then everyone laughed at what the scoundrel said, which made Naruto seethe with rage, he treating women like simple objects already made Naruto furious, but they were also talking about Hinata.

(Naruto): "Kakashi-Sensei..." - He says with anger in his voice, which made the others a little worried, by the reaction.

(Kakashi): "You managed to hear them, didn't you?"

Naruto just nodded.

(Asuma): "Because of their reaction, they are part of the group. How do we proceed?"

(Naruto): "Can I go beat them up?"

All the genins stared at the blond-red-haired with concern.

(Kakashi): "Very well, we cover you."

(Naruto): "Thank you."

Naruto comes out of hiding, and goes towards them, after a while the 20 people noticed his presence.

(Nukenin 6): "Look... the Hitai-ate is an ally of those 4."

(Nukenin 7): "Did you come to die boy? I will fulfill your wish." - He said while making a seal - "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu." - He finishes the seals and shoots several small fireballs out of his mouth.

All the fireballs hit Naruto hard, but he just keeps going, leaving the nukenins with wide eyes.

(Nukenin 7): "WHAT?!"

(Naruto): "My turn." - He says invoking flames in his hands, making his eyes even wider.

(Nukenin 8): "How did he...?"

(Nukenin 9): "It doesn't matter. He's still alone, just get him out."

Realizing this fact that the companion spoke, the same and five more left for Uzumaki.

The first one who came close to Naruto, tried to punch him in the face, but Naruto deflected only by tilting his head a little and then punching him in the stomach until he met a companion. The second tried to give a kick that was deflected with the blond-red man crouching down and then immediately got up and punched the side of the nukenin's body throwing him to a tree.

Another two approached with kunais in their hands, Naruto just made his feet catch fire and propelled the flames, making him spin around hitting the two nukenins in the face with a single kick and sending them away.

Another came forward with a ninja-tō who tried to hit Naruto with his weapon in his face, but Uzumaki stopped him with his teeth, which made the nukenin's eyes widen before he was hit by a punch in the face, making the flying, Naruto took the ninja-tō out of his mouth and threw it back and the last of the six who advanced against him stood up leaving the first nukenin hit on the floor and advances against Naruto, who uses the flames of his feet to give a backflip while hit the nukenin's chin.

Everyone, both the nukenins and their allies, were staring at Naruto's performance.

(Asuma): "How unpredictable... apart from the first blow, everyone was totally unexpected..." - He says surprised.

(Kakashi): "I wonder if his ancestor fought like that."

(Ino): "Incredible..."

(Chōji): "I never imagined that I would see Naruto do that..."

(Shikamaru): "Troublesome, he is playing..."

(Sakura): "Yes, he could have ended it all in a while."

(Haku): "What he heard really pissed him off trying to discount his anger by hitting him one by one."

(Kakashi): "I think he has calmed down a little... the next one ends up with everyone or the majority."

The nukenins were terrified of the red-blond, they thought he was a child jōnin, but it was too late to return.

(Nukenin 1): "We will end it."

Everyone advanced and Naruto, who had calmed down a little after punching the nukenins, although he was a little disappointed that they didn't have a good fight, he descends to finish this fight.

(Naruto): "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"

The flames in Naruto's hands grow to the point that they look like whips, where Naruto swings his arms as he moves forward, hitting each of the nukenis, making everyone unconscious. After finishing, Naruto makes the flames disappear while his allies approach him.

(Haku): "Incredible Naruto-san."

(Naruto): "Thanks Haku-chan."

(Kakashi): "Did you calm down?"

(Naruto): "Yes, I apologize for that."

(Asuma): "It's okay boy, but you will have to learn to control yourself, if you can't harm the mission."

(Naruto): "Hai."

Kakashi went to a nukenin that he hadn't erased for some reason, while the rest tied all the nukenins, and started an interrogation, when he was finished, knocked out the nukenin, tied him up and joined the others.

(Kakashi): "Apparently Team 8 managed to escape them, but the rest of the group went after Team 8, apparently they were west of here. Naruto, can you let us know when we're close?"

(Naruto): "Okay."

They went on their way, it wasn't long before Naruto smelled the other nukenins.

(Naruto): "It seems that the rest of the group is ahead."

Everyone nodded and formed cautiously, until they found the group together.

(Kakashi): "Naruto, can you hear them?"

(Naruto): "Yes, what appears to be the leader, is telling them to look for Team 8 and only come back when they find them."

(Shikamaru): "Troublesome. Can't you handle them all at once?"

(Naruto): "Well... there is a blow that I get rid of most... but I don't guarantee the chūnin and jōnin."

(Kakashi): "Okay. Me, Asuma and Naruto are going to get closer to guarantee the blow, you guys circle everything in case anyone tries to escape."

(Team 7 / Team 8): "Okay."

As the trio continued to advance slowly, the genins circled the area, to ensure that for at least one, they would meet. When they got close enough, they were still dividing the groups, but they were running out, it was now or never.

Naruto made the flames appear in both hands and then immediately joined them, creating a single flame, he raised it above his head.

(Naruto): "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame."

He launched that great flame in the direction of the group where only a few realized the blow and left close behind. When the flame hit the spot, a big explosion occurred, sending more than 20 nukenins into the air, causing them to pass out before returning to the ground. Asuma gave an impressed whistle.

(Asuma): "The more I see this power of yours, the more impressed I am." - He says impressed with Kakashi nodding his head.

The nukenins who escaped the blow, who were five, returned to the site of the explosion, facing the trio, who had left the hideout.

(Nukenin 11): "More Konoha Shinobi, and some famous and an unknown."

(Kakashi): "Why doesn't it make our life easier and just surrender?"

At that time, Naruto felt three smells that were familiar to him and a totally new one.

(Naruto): 'Team 8 is coming.'

(Nukenin 11): "I will not gain anything by surrendering."

(Asuma): "Yes, it will prevent a humiliating beating from us."

The nukenin hesitated at that time, as he had two famous Konoha jōnins, Kopī Ninja no Kakashi, and Sarutobi Asuma, not to mention the boy that his instincts screamed to be careful with him.

(Nukenin 11): "But are you sure that the three of you can handle us?"

(Naruto): "I dealt with the 20 that you left behind alone, and they are not far behind, not counting the 25 now, so we can deal with the five of you."

This made all the nukenins take a step back, while the leader was thinking about what could be done, if the boy was responsible for that fireball then they would have problems, and there was no guarantee that they had no reinforcements yet, but one vision for the trio happened, each of the remaining nukenins started to swing, as if trying to stand.

(Kakashi): "It seems that the people we came to rescue dealt with the last ones." - He speaks while going to the nukenins and knocking them out one by one.

(Asuma): "Nice job arresting them Kurenai." - He speaks in a loud voice, while he and Naruto went to Kakashi.

At that time Team 8 appeared, next to Ino, and soon after the rest of the reinforcement arrives.

(Kurenai): "Thank you for coming, I think we would not be able to do it alone."

(Kiba): "That Sensei, I could handle all of them." - He says arrogantly.

(Shino): "So why didn't you deal before we had to run away from them?" - He asked in his usual monotone voice.

Kiba just snarled, while his ninken Akamaru tried to console him. At that time his attention turned to Naruto.

(Kiba): "And who are you?"

The rescuers then focused on Naruto, he didn't answer anything, but the answer came from Hinata, who recognized him almost instantly.

(Hinata): "N-Naruto-kun?!!" - She asks with surprise.

(Naruto): "One more for the first-rate list. It's good to see you again Hinata-chan." - He says with his classic smile.

Hinata turns incredibly red and passes out with Uzumaki's new look, being held by her Sensei who was blushing due to the same reason.

(Kurenai): 'How did Naru-kun get even more beautiful?'

(Naruto): "It looks like we're back to stake 0." - He says while scratching the back of his neck while looking at Hinata who was passed out.

It took a long time and a lot of persistence from Naruto at the gym until he managed to talk to Hinata without the same stutter and pass out with his presence, before the mission to Nami no Kuni, she still stuttered, but she didn't pass out anymore, but with the new appearance He went back to the starting line again.

Kiba had his chin on the floor due to surprise, Shino, without showing anything on the outside, but inside it was chaos.

(Kiba): "Loser, are you?"

(Naruto): "Yes Itchy, it's me. I'm glad you two are doing well."

(Shino): "What happened to you to change so much?"

(Naruto): "Kekkei genkai."

(Kakashi): "What about the mission, Kurenai?"

This question made Kurenai stop practically devouring Naruto with his eyes, he managed to stop his face from turning red and turned his attention back to Team 7's sensei.

(Kurenai): "It's well kept." - She says showing a scroll to everyone.

(Haku): "Did you happen to say what this package was?"

(Kurenai): "Not just for Daimyō's wife safely... and who are you?"

(Haku): "I'm Yuki Haku."

(Kakashi): "We met her on our mission in Nami no Kuni, so she decided to come with us and I asked Sandaime to put her on my team."

(Kiba): "As for Uchiha?"

(Sakura): "The Uchiha is in the village under a kind of house arrest for attacking a fellow villager." - She spoke angrily.

Team 8 reacted with surprise with Sakura referring to Sasuke by his surname, after all everyone knew her serious case of fangirl.

(Shino): "Was it really that serious?"

(Haku): "He practically spit in Naruto-san's grave when he almost died saving Sakura."

That sparked a rage in Team 8, except for Hinata but if she was awake she would suffer from it too. Although Kiba always teased Naruto, they were very friendly, it was similar to Natsu's friendship with Gray or Gajeel, they pinned themselves, but they would always help each other if needed.

Shino was also furious, because Naruto was his first friend, and it was he who introduced Shino to the other boys, making the number of friends that Shino had to increase. And Kurenai was thinking of talking to Anko about torture techniques to use at Uchiha.

(Kakashi): "Well, let's put that aside for the moment. We will finish this mission."

(Chōji): "But what about the nukenins?"

(Shikamaru): "Troublesome... we just tie them up and call the ANBUs."

After doing this, Kakashi sent Pakkun to warn them, they went to the other 20 they left behind, Team 8 stayed behind with Sakura and Kakashi, took everyone and took them to where the other 30 were. Everyone was very well tied and gagged, and Kakashi and Kurenai put those who woke up in a gejutsu. Hinata woke up and when Naruto went to talk, she stuttered so much that she couldn't even finish the sentence. Naruto updated them on what happened to Nami no Kuni and his kekkei genkai. They camped there that night, with Times 7, 8 and 10, taking turns on the nukenins' watch. The next day, at midday the ANBUs arrived and they headed towards the village leaving the nukenins with the ANBUs.
