The Hatake Siblings (Naruto Fan Fiction)

Five: The Land of Waves

- Kaito's Point of View -

"Sasuke, I'm at point B" "Sakura, I'm at point C." A moment of silence fills my ears before Naruto confirms that he's at point A. Looking around the tree, I see the black figure. "Kaito, point D confirmed," I speak softly into the microphone. Kaoru confirms his and we're about to attack until the target moves.

Sighing, I quickly jump to the tree across from me, hopping up into the branch above where Sasuke is standing. "Over there," Naruto whispers, pointing to the bushes. Once more, I dissapear and reapear and the stree opposite of Sasuke and glance around it. "What's your distance from the target?"

"Five meters. I'm ready, just give the signal," Naruto says, readying himself. "I'm ready,too," Sasuke chimes in, followed by Sakura. Kakashi readies us and then gives the signal, allowing us to pounce. Before I'm able to catch it, Naruto already beats me, his arms wrapped around the large, brown cat. It begins to scratch at Naruto and I hear Sasuke confirming the cat's ID.

Sighing, I grab the cat from Naruto and place her in my arms, she struggles until she's confortable and then relaxes, mewing in contempt. "Right, lost pet Tora captured. Mission accomplished."

"CAN'T WE GET A BETTER MISSION THAN THIS?! I HATE CATS!" Naruto yells into the ear piece, making me cringe. I smack him on the back of the head and glare at him. We regroup and head back to the Hokage's Office.

I watch in pity as the brown cat gets squished against the cheek of the wife of the Land of Fire's Daimyo. Naruto lets out a laugh as we stare at the two. "Stupid cat. It deserves to get squashed," he laughs. "No wonder she ran away," Sakura mumbles. "Now, for squad sevens next mission, we have several available tasks." I zone out while Old Man lists lame D-Ranked missions.

Naruto yells about how he wants a real mission, to which Iruka Sensei yells at him for not understanding that he's only a new genin. "Iruka Sensei, did you forget that Squad seven also consists of two chūnin and a jōnin, too?" I ask, staring at the scarred faced man. He looks at me and blushes before looking away.

"BABYSITTING IS NOT A MISSION! IT'S JUST A STUIPD-- AHH!" He yells in pain as Kakashi punches his head, causing him to fall flat onto the floor on his face. I jump over to the right a bit seeming that Naruto nearly fell on me, causing me to bump into Sasuke. He looks down and I smile sheepishly as he just grunts. Before I can move, he slings his arm over my shoulder and pulls me closer to him.

I can feel Sakura glaring at me, but ignore it. We zone off as the Hokage begins explaining the ranking of missions.

"So, I had this Tonkotsu Ramen yesterday and I'm thinking Miso Ramen today," Naruto begins but is cut off by the booming voice of Old Man Hokage. "Silence!" Kakashi notices what's happening and apologizes half-heartedly, scratching the back of his neck.

"You always lecture me like you're my grandfather or something! But, I'm not the little brat who used to pull pranks all the time! I'm a ninja now and I want a ninja mission," Naruto cries,huffing and turning away, his arms crossed over his chest and his cheeks puffed up.

"So be it," the Hokage chuckles, taking a drag from his pipe, "since you are so determined, I'm going to give you a C-Ranked mission. You'll be body guards on a journey," he explains, staring at the back of Naruto's head.

Naruto jumps in excitment and begins to bombard with questions about who we would be escorting. "Don't be so impatient. Send in our visitor," he instructs. We all turn our heads to the door, which slides open to reveal a drunken man, a towel hanging around his neck and a bottle in one hand as he clutches the door for support. My eyebrow twitches as I stare at the man.
