The strength to believe

Chapter 8

Our first D rank mission was....

Cleaning a river.

Oh, joy.

Well, i guess we get paid, but... come on!

I prod at a cup with my stick, dumping it into my bag and prodding at several other lumps of... um.. i don'y know what they are....

Then i hear a high- pitched shriek, and i look over to see sakura has fell over and is being swept near a waterfall.

Sasuke looks ready to help, but i'm waaaaay ahead!

I throw a rope and she catches on. I wrap the other end around a tree and secure it with a binding jutsu. I run down the top of the rope and grab her hand. I leap onto the shore and sakura falls down beside me gasping.

"Phew! Thanks kurama!" she then faints. I groan and send a water clone to cute the rope because there's no use in just leaving it there.

Sasuke looks jealous. Ha, suck it.

NEXT MISSION

Disabling mines. You may think: WAAAH?! But surely that's a c rank!

Nope, apparently not.

I throw a kunai next to a mine and it almost goes off. Everyone starts going off on me until they notice there is a sealing tag on the kunai. It sealed the mine before it could explode. I disable the rest and we go collect our reward.

THIRD MISSION

Walk a dog. This wasn't that eventfull.

FOURTH MISSION

Help someone in the flower shop. I mysteriously was sick that day XD

FINAL D RANK

A woman was worried if her plants were poisenous, so we had to identify them all.

I wasn't too good at this, but i tried. Or, my clone did. Actual me lay at home eating pocky and soup.

C RANK

"Hm.. these missions are: Growing potatos, babysitting, and.."

"Uh... can we have a c rank now?" i ask dully and iruka frowns at me.

"NO! YOU HAVE TO DO AT LEAST 20 D RANKS BEFORE A C RANK!"

I glare back. "Why? We are ninja! What is the point of teaching us all that ninja crap if we aren't going to do anything ninja-ey?"

The hokage sighs. "Alright, you have a point. I will give you a c rank, to escort a man to the land of waves. Don't mess this up." i nod. Better than a d-rank, though still not what i want. "Bring the client in!"

The door creaks open and i glare at the client. He's got alcohol. I don't like alcohol.

"What? I get a bunch of snot nosed brats? And you, blondie with the idiotic whiskers and face, what are you supposed to be?"

I walk up to him and recite blankly.

"I am Kurama Namikaze Uzumaki. I am 13 years old. I reside in the land of fire. My occupation is genin. My gender is male. I am assigned to escort you back to your home, protecting you from bandits and theives. I hope i can be of use." He looks startled at my response. I can't help but feel bitter satisfaction. GOOD.

"Get your stuff!" Kakashi ordered. "We are leaving in 3 hours!"
