Chapter 20

Naruto was on the way home walking slowly. He was thinking about some, absolutely some, basic training Kakashi have them do in order to test them.

"Although you guys are doing really well, I still need to check your basic so that you guys will have good foundation." That's what he said.

"Ahh... Really? He knew my foundation better than me and he dare to said that. Man, that's so tiring. He definitely did it with bad intention. I will remember this Kakashi!!"

He arrived home after cursing Kakashi for whole ten minutes while he was walking. He find out that Yugao has not returned from her mission. He didn't think much about it and search for something to eat which he found out in disappoint was that nothing was prepared for him. Thus he take a quick shower and got out of the house again. This time his destination was Ichiraku ramen shop.

########

When he got there it was already noon. He ordered four big miso ramen with pork. Ayame look at Naruto with suprise as he was waiting for his ramen order.

"Naruto!!! Is that you? What happened to your hair? Why did it change colours? But you look kinda handsome with that colours. I am very much interested. Can you tell me what happened??" Ayame asked Naruto as she wasn't present when he comes here with Hinata yesterday. Thus she didn't know why his hair colour changed.

"I didn't know exactly what happened either, Ayame-nee-san. Lord Third said it is because of my bloodlines awakening. But he didn't know exactly what happened to me either. We still need to keep watch of the changes." Naruto replied with the same line he used to explain to other such as Teuchi, Kakashi and Iruka.

Coincidentally, when he's done with his explanation, Teuchi also finish his orders of ramen. He first finished the first bowl very quick and then the last three slowly, tasting them with all he has. Finishing the last bowl of ramen he pays the cost for his food and returned home. But for some reason, even after he arrived at home for one hour, Yugao still haven't returned yet. And fo some reason, he can't contact with Yugao or summons her to his side. He was worry. Thus he make a shadow clone and make him go to Hiruzen.

At Hokage office....

Hiruzen was about to go home after he finishes all his work. But he stopped all he's doing when he saw Naruto coming in while signaling him which only he can see...

"All of the anbu, get out. I want to talk with Naruto privately. And, make sure no one, absolutely no one, approach near us. All dismissed." Hiruzen ordered his hidden Anbu to go away as he was about to talk with Naruto.

"Master. What happened? It is rare for you to look for me like this. You can just summon me to you. Right?" Hiruzen asked Naruto. He was very much suprised. Usually, if Naruto have something to tell him or some orders for him, he would just summons him whenever he wants. But, now it looks like he forget that he can summons him(Hiruzen). And directly come to him(Hiruzen).

"I forget about it. But don't worry. This is only a shadow clone. I am here because Yugao have yet to returned even after such a long time. And I can't seem to locate her or summons her. This make me worry. Thus, I want to know what mission did you gave her." Naruto explained to Hiruzen and asked him about Yugao mission.Hiruzen was suprised.

"I gave Senior Yugao, a B-ranked mission, Master. But it was not a difficult one. It was ranked B because of the large payment. A village at the border of the Fire nation was threatened by a group of Ninja. By report we received, they were only ten Chunin and one Jonin. With Senior strength she can easily beat them to death." He told everything he knows to Naruto.

"It seems something unexpected have happened. I have a bad feeling about this. Send Kakashi, Guy and Asuma to there to find out what happened. And have them make sure to protect Yugao and escort her back here safely. Do it now." Naruto said as he dispelled himself. *poof* sound accompanied with a small cloud of smoke, he disappeared and send the information of events here to Main Naruto.....
