Naruto Mitarashi. The abandoned child of Kushina Uzumaki, left to die in the village, after his father's death. All because his mother thought he was a demon. Abandoned by his godfather, because he wasn't the child of prophecy, abandoned by his fath...
*We see Kakashi and Kurenai standing guard outside in the shadows, while Anko is inside the temple. After a bit of searching, they found the location of the rebels in this civil war and were currently looking over their paperwork and information. Anko grabbed one of the many scrolls of the temple and opened it up on the floor. She then took an empty scroll from her back and placed it on top of the first scroll. Anko did some hand signs, and the information on the original scroll was copied to the new scroll. Anko placed the original scroll and repeated the process with the next.*
Anko: "I'm almost done just 7 more, and we go to the leader's house."
*Anko thought to herself as she continued to work, since this is what it meant to be a real shinobi, to work in the shadows and leave without any bloodshed, to make it appear like nobody was here to begin with. Unlike in Canon, where almost all the missions were failures for comedic effect, or this grand spectacle where they would have to fight for their lives. Most missions aren't like that. There were very few missions that ended up like that. Anko stopped and hid away as she heard the secret sign that someone was coming. Anko saw what looked like a bald monk walk in.*

* The monk walked further inside, sitting in the middle of the temple on the prayer rug and kneeling, starting to pray. Anko started to think about what she should do. She could hit the man with some sleep poison and finish her work, but that could put in risk them finding out that Konoha was involved. At this point and time would be a problem, since they haven't gotten enough information to choose which side to join in this civil war. She could escape through the window and finish this later when the monk leaves, but then there's the risk that the monk would take papers that Anko hasn't copied yet. Anko weighed her options and jumped out the window without being seen, and dashed to the second location with her team next to her, none of the 3 saying a word as they dashed away.*
Meanwhile, in Konoha
*We see grandfather and grandchild in Hiruzen's house. They were having dinner before Naruto had to go to sleep. Naruto gagged as he finished his Brussels sprouts, but he did since, like his grandfather told him, "real shinobi eat all their vegetables." Hirzuen held an amused expression as he ate, hearing his grandchild suffering over the vile vegetable. How curious that Naruto's plate was the only one with Brussels sprouts. Naruto looked up at his grandfather with a question on his mind.*
Naruto: Jiji?
Hiruzen: Yes, my little monkey?
*Hiruzen asked as he stopped eating his fish and gave Naruto his full attention, wondering what curiosity had the boy's brain come up with now, that Hiruzen would have to explain. He didn't mind it, mind you, Naruto was just a very curious child, and Hiruzen was more than ok, feeding that curiosity, since that's what makes Naruto, Naruto Naruto opened up his mouth to speak, and what he said next took his grandfather completely by surprise.*
