The Newest Sage

Wave mission- the first kill

  "The target is in my sights, move in Inu."
  "Understood kitsune, Hana you come with me."
  "Hai Tori,"
  "On three,"
  "One
   Two
  Three!!" Three figures shoot out, one grabbing the smallest figure just barely, the other two attempting to control its screeching and claws.
  "Mission: catch tora the cat, success!" The other two sigh in relief as their silver haired sensei walks out from his hiding place in the trees.
  "Nice teamwork you three, right let's get this demo-cat back to its owner." As the man turns and begins walking Sasuke looks up and decides to speak what all three are thinking.
  "Kakashi-sensei.. we need a stronger leveled mission. These D ranks aren't Ninja work, it's just from civilians too lazy or incapable of doing their own work. Please, a C or B rank!" Kakashi looks down at his student, somewhat annoyed, but happy all the same as he spoke his feelings to him instead of directly to the Hokage.
  "Fine, I'll put in for a C rank escort mission. For now, let's go." He speeds off, the three following, Naruto moving slightly slower as he is holding the devil spawn.
  As they reach Hokage tower, Kakashi leads them up the stairs. The receptionists face holds an obvious look of disgust at the blonde haired nin in the group. This does not go unnoticed by Sasuke or Sakura who both glare back.
  As Kakashi reaches the door he knocks lightly, before he hears the squeal of the daimyos wife. As Naruto walks to the front he holds Tora protectively petting her, shockingly she doesn't struggle. As the large woman walks out of the room she grabs her car happily.
  "Ma'am. If I may?" Her grip softens slightly and she nods, "if you did not squeeze Tora so hard, she might not want to run, instead hold her softer and pet behind her ears." As he speaks out both Kakashi, The Hokage, and the ever present Iruka stare in shock at the boy.
  "That... That's genius!" The larger woman softens her grip and continues by petting her cat softly. Tora relaxes and cuddles into her. "Hokage-Dono. I have raised their completed mission to that of an S-rank, and I will pay them as such."
  As the woman leaves She notices Kakashi bashing his head onto the wall, leaving a sizable indent in the stone. 
  After five minutes the Jonin ends his depressed rampage on the wall and turns to the Hokage, "Hokage-sama, I wish to take a C-rank escort mission for my team." The Hokage, still shocked from the end of the Capture Tora missions nods numbly before shaking the shock from his brain.
  "I see.. tokage!" A man dressed in the normal ANBU garb appears, with a lizard mask donned on his face.
  "Yes hokage-dono?"
  "Send in Tazuna." The ANBU nods before vanishing once more. Leaving the Hokage to explain the mission.
  "Now, Tazuna is a bridge builder from Nami no Kuni, you will escort him to his village and protect him as he finishes building a neidhe that will connect our two countries."
  As the Hokage finishes his explanation a tall man walks in, a straw hat on his head and a bottle of Sake in his hand. He sneers at the three kids before him "are you sure these kids can protect me? They look like babies."
  Before the Gennin can react the Hokage slams his hand onto his Mahogany desk (A/N mahoganyyy).
  "I'll have you know.. these three are the strongest of their class, even capable of defeating a Jonnin fresh out of the Academy. If you do not think they are adequate for a C-class mission. Leave." He stares the man down.
  Shaking Tazuna looks to the three once again "I apologize, I'll be waiting at the gate in four hours." Turning away, the man dissapears.
  Sighing Kakashi looks to his students, "you heard him, go eat rest and pack lightly for the Journey. I'll be there ready to go when he is." All four of team 7 preform a shunshin, leaving for their respective homes.

  ~with Kakashi~

Kakashi sat in his room, looking at a picture of his dead team mates, "please.. let this go better..."

  ~with Naruto~

  Naruto sat in his room, only physically. Mentally he sat in a large field, talking to three people.
  "But Kaa-saaan!"
  "No buts Sochi, you are not bringing thirty cases of ramen, I want you to bring fruits and veggies, hunt meat if you need to!"
  "Tou-San!"
  "Sorry. Can't argue with your mother, shed beat me into the ground."
  "Kyū-nee-chan?"
  "No way! I don't want to spend another night chained to the ground!"
  Naruto looks down, crying anime tears. "Oh fine."
  "Good boy, now if I remember correctly, Kyū wanted you to practice senjutsu with her before you leave."
