The Prodigy Namikaze by SoulReaperCrewe

Chapter 23

"How you doing Mito-chan? You having fun?" Naruto called as he sat on top of a low leveled roof with his elbows propped up as he stared down at his sister who was picking up trash around the Hokage monument.

"Oni-chan stop bothering me," Mito whined which only served to make Naruto laugh as he watched her team complete another D rank mission. Her team mate Shikamaru was lazily tossing some trash into the black bag in his hands while the pale boy Sai got on with the job quietly. Beside Naruto was Kushina who was reading a magazine as she watched her new team completely their mission.

"This is stupid. How much longer are we going to be doing these stupid chores?" Mito called out in a huff as Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me Lazy Ass."

"Then stop complaining. You have done this for every mission for the last three months," he said as he yawned and scratched the back of his head.

"But it's insulting to do this and its embarrassing."

"You know if you keep complaining it will cause you to get wrinkles…flatty," Sai said as he gave Mito a creepy smile.

"….BASTARD!" Mito shouted as she went to lunge at Sai but Shikamaru stopped her as he tried to keep her from killing their teammate. "Come here and say that again. I'll kick your ass."

"Mito-chan," Kushina called lowering her magazine to look at her daughter and making Mito stop and look up at her mother. "These D ranks all help build up your credit and it will get you closer to obtaining the right to going on a C rank mission."

"But Kaa-chan," Mito whined but a quickly stern look from Kushina quickly shut her up. Grumbling and kicking the dirt she went back to picking up litter with a scowl now plastered on her face.

Naruto watched them with an amused expression but got a flick on the ear from Kushina.

"Don't you have anything better to do then rile up your little sister?" she said raising an eyebrow at him.

The response she got was a shrug. "It's too much fun and she is so easy to tease. Besides it's the job of the older shinobi to tease the freshies. You probably did the same when you were in my position," he said to her as she got a faraway look on her face.

That was true since she could remember teasing Minato's students Kakashi, Obito and Rin when they were a team together. Even though Kakashi graduated much earlier than the other two they still had to do D ranks.

"Don't you have a mission today?" she asked as she looked down at her son again who went back to teasing his little sister who was trying to give him the scariest glare she could muster.

"Yeah but it's not for another hour. Besides I already have everything packed," he said as he pointed to the scrolls on his hip and the seals on his arms.

"Hmm okay then," Kushina said going off the topic before she went onto a completely new.

"So are there any girls that interest you?" she asked as Naruto looked up at her in surprise. That was not something he really wanted to discuss with his mother. It was a little too weird.

'Where is this going?' he thought before answering her.

"Urm no Kaa-chan, no girls right now. I'm happy to just be on my own."

"Oh come on now there must be someone to catch your attention. I hear Mikoto's son is still with that girl from the Nadeshiko village. I can't let Mikoto out do me again," she said with a fire burning in her eyes that made him shake his head.

'So that's why.'

"Sorry to disappoint Kaa-chan but there is no girl right now so you will have to wait a little longer," Naruto said making Kushina huff a little before nodding in acceptance.
