place: Konoha

time: 6:30am Tuesday

Sasuke woke up sweating and in a panic. 'Did I really see him last night? Or was it a dream?' Sasuke thought to himself. "No, it was a dream. He couldn't get pass the guards or the Hokage himself, right?" He tried to convince himself. Sasuke got up and took a shower quickly.

After his shower he made his breakfast and checked the time. "Only 7am huh? I still got an hour before we have to meet Kakashi at Training Ground 7." He spoke. He ate his scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast with some orange juice. Once he finished he took his water balloons out to practice some more to be picture perfect when Jiraiya came around. He did that until fifteen minutes before he had to leave.

He left his house and made it to Training Ground 7 to see Naruto sitting peacefully. 'He's mediating?' And Sasuke thinks. "What are you doing Naruto?" He questioned our dirty blonde MC. Naruto didn't respond leaving Sasuke irritated. "Naruto, why are you mediating?" He question yet again. No response. Sasuke took out a basic storage seal which Naruto taught him how to use and took a water balloon out and threw it at him.

"Hey, what the hell duck butt?!" Naruto yelled out loud. Sasuke now stood proudly wearing his new signature smirk on his face.

"I asked what are you doing?" Sasuke repeated again. Naruto looked at him and realize he was spaced out in his mediation.

"Oh, I was, umm, mediating." Naruto said scratching the back of his head. Sasuke looked at him, narrowing his eyes.

"Yes, that much was obvious. I was curious as to the why part." Sasuke said. It was then that Sakura arrived.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" She asked in a peachy mood. Naruto and Sasuke, however, we're still looking at each other. "Guys?" She asked.

"Naruto was just mediating for some reason." Sasuke told the pinkette. Naruto kept his gaze on Sasuke as he did too.

"Why was You mediating Naruto?" She asked. Naruto looked at her.

"I was just trying to see if I could pull my inner strength out." Naruto said in a jokingly manner. He was in actuality trying to make contact with the Nine Tails. Unfortunately, the fox didn't feel like introducing himself at this time. Sasuke let up and Sakura said oh. "Where's Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked his teammates.

"Right here." He said as he appeared in front of his team, "Yesterday was a bit of a success." Kakashi stated.

"No it wasn't! It was just a bunch of mundane tasks!" Naruto shouted.

"Yeah he's right." Sasuke agreed.

Kakashi thought back to yesterday.

Flashback start

Place: Konoha

Time: Yesterday mid day

"Kakashi-Sensei! This sucks!" Naruto said as he was painting a fence. Sasuke huffed and Sakura agreed with her blonde teammate. Kakashi was still just reading his book while his soldiers were at work.

"Hmm, you said something?" Kakashi asked nonchalantly. Naruto turned red at this question.

"I said this sucks! When are we going to get a real mission Sensei!?" Naruto asked. Sasuke was actively listening to see if he would also find out.

"Well, when a Genin cell is made, it takes roughly two months or 180 D ranks before they take on a C Rank. If you guys wish to do a C Rank then you must do as many D ranks in one day. However, the Hokage still has to pas out D ranks to about 30 other Genin squads who are still in rotation." Kakashi explained. (A/n: I have no clue how many d ranks or how long they have until they get a c rank. But we just gonna roll with this.)
