Naruto the Gamer of shinobi (Up for adoption)

To Wave Country

A/N hello sorry again for how long this one took, I hope it is good enough regardless.

"Everyone, check in." A lazy voice came through the radio.

"This is blossom, I am in pursuit of the target, she's fast but I'm keeping pace. Over." Said a younger female voice.

"This is duck, I have found blossom and the target, I am getting close. Over." A deeper voice than the last replied.

"Guys, who are you chasing, I caught the target 4 minuets ago, I just arrived at the meeting point." A louder male voice announced.

"DAMNIT NARUTO! He is right, the one we are chasing is missing it's bow." The female yelled, exasperated and winded.

"Good, everyone meet back at training ground 7." The first voice answered. The group arrived after only 10 minuets but where shocked at the sight they were presented with. Naruto was sitting under a tree half a sleep, this was not surprising, what was surprising though, was the ball of fur curled up in his lap, purring and looking like she was in heaven. For the first time in Konoha history, the demon cat Tora, wasn't running or attacking one of their ninja, the 2 were just napping together under a tree. The most surprised was the eldest of the ninja, now clearly Hatake Kakashi. Even in his Anbu days, this cat was the bane of his teams existence, the only one ever able to catch the cat alone was Neko and that was only due to her mask. "Naruto... she... but how?"

"Oh, hi guys, I found her earlier, she's really cool when you give her the space she needs. Well if you guys are here, I guess that means we should return her." He patted his shoulder and begun to stand, in doing so the cat in his lap jumped up and sat on it, rubbing her face against his as she did. He then begun to walk of the the Hokage tower, leaving a surprised team and a sensei more disappointed in himself than he had been in a long time.

*Small timeskip*

It didn't take the group long to arrive at the Hokage tower, the moment he crossed the threshold a large, plump woman with clearly higher end clothing and a heavy amount of makeup, ran towards him and snatched the cat from his shoulder. This though, did not happen before many ninja in the building had noticed the demon cat affectionately rubbing up against the boy, leaving the entire room, excluding the woman entirely shellshocked. "Oh my poor sweetheart, you must have been so scared without mommy."

She begun to smother the cat, pulling it close to her and holding on to it tightly, clearly making it uncomfortable. Some people looked at the cat with a pitying look, whilst others gained joyous, sadistic glints in their eyes. But this all left when they heard the following voice. "Hey lady, you shouldn't hold a cat like that."

Most people paled greatly and a few begun to reprimand him for what the young blonde had just said to the wife of the fire daimyo. Among these were; his current sensei, his old academy sensei -who was sitting behind the mission desk- and even the Sandaime Hokage himself. But once again they were silenced by a single line. "Oh. And how should I hold her then?"

If anyone had been paying real attention to her they would have notice her loosening her grip on the cat, and a small rise overcoming her lips. "It's not to hard, but there is a trick to it. You should let the cat decide how it wants to be held if you can, they like to have a lot of control so never let its legs hang. I didn't carry her at all, they don't really like being 'held' as such which is why I let her on my shoulder. If you need to carry her, you should place her in something you can carry yourself, nothing it feels trapped in but like a small bag would probably be best."

Hiruzen expected indignance, to here the woman call for the boys imprisonment. What he wasn't expecting was to hear a loud clapping. Or even more so for her to follow with the statement she did.
