Fangs in Your Throat

Rolling Waves

Last Time:

Minato was skimming over missions looking for something to give the unsuspecting Team 6. He skipped all the D ranked missions and went through the C ranked ones. there it was, the perfect mission. Why? It came with a red note, which means the information regarding the mission has been proven false. The hokage plucked the red note off the mission request and burned it.

Naruto shook his head as he saw Kiba sleeping when he should've been up an hour ago, "Ooooh Kiba, it's time to get up." said the blonde sweetly, but when Kiba buried his nose deeper into the pillow Naruto frowned. "Well, I tried being nice, Akamaru, Eliot jump!" The two large dogs broke out into a run and jumped on top of Kiba.

A now fully awake and slightly ticked Kiba got up, "What was that for?!'

Naruto smiled and gave Kiba a kiss, "That was for sleeping in. Now get ready or we'll be late. Just because I'm dating Anko doesn't mean he'll let us get away with being late."

Kiba grumbled and got ready.

XXXXXXXXXX

Anko grinned as he saw Naruto and Kiba with their furry companions coming, "Perfect timing, I thought I'd have to punish you." He said and kissed the blonde.

"And what would've been my punishment?" Naruto smirked as he kissed Hinata.

"It would've involved chains and chocolate." said Anko with a wink.

The blonde pouted, "Pity, I'll make sure to be late next time ... well let's go see what Minato has in store for me." As they walked into the hokage's office they saw Minato sitting at his desk doing paperwork.

Anko stepped forward, "Team 6 reporting in and ready for our first mission!"

Minato's cold gaze landed on Anko, no doubt he realized everything was a ploy, "A mission huh well ... this one should suffice." He gave Anko the mission request.

Anko looked at the scroll before bowing and following her team out.

"We knew he'd try something like this, but this is extreme." said the purple haired jonin.

Naruto frowned, "What is it, Anko?"

"This request is a three week long escort mission to Wave, but this should be a C rank mission and you guys are genin." Anko pondered.

The blonde sighed, "First mission and he's already trying to screw us. Guess we can't do anything about it so lets meet our client."

XXXXXXXXXX

"You're my guards?! You're just brats! And what's with the purple haired weirdo and the freaky eyes and those dumb whisker marks and flee bitten mutts!" said the rather drunk man who was their client, the bridge builder, Tazuna.

Anko glared at Tazuna making him shrink back in fear, "Yes we are your guards and you would be wise not to insult us when we are protecting you." growled the jonin as Kiba, Naruto and Hinata glared angrily at him while the three canines bared their fangs.

Tazuna nodded quickly fearing for his life, "Ok! ... maybe we should go." He squeaked.

They left the gate and made their way towards Wave. So far everything was going smoothly until Naruto sensed two chakra signatures ahead. He silently signaled his teammates to be on guard. When they rounded the next bend in the road Naruto subtly pointed at the puddle and Anko dropped to the back of the group as they passed the suspicious puddle.

Suddenly, two ninjas sprang from the puddle and wrapped Anko up in chains the sliced him to ribbons.

"One down, six to go." said one of the ninjas before charging the group. The second one got close to Naruto a katana appeared in the blonde's hand. Naruto quickly blocked the metal claws and ducked down to slash open the ninja's side and cracked the hilt of his blade on the back of his opponent's head. The first enemy dropped to the ground where he was pinned by Lazarus and Eliot.

When the second ninja saw his partner go down he screamed and ran at Naruto in a blind rage. He never saw Kiba and Akamaru use 'Fang over Fang' and come flying at him until they slammed into him. He was knocked out instantly. Anko reappeared, much to Tazuna's shock, and tied the two ninjas to a tree.

Anko smirked, "Wake them up, Naruto." The used a small water jutsu to splash the captives in the face and as they coughed and sputtered awake the others sat down to eat. "Well, well, you two are the Demon Brothers, Gozu and Meizu. Now, you two are going to tell us who you're working for mmm tasty." said Anko as he munched on the food Naruto packed.

"Fuck you-gah!" Gozu yelped in pain when Anko dug his heel into the gash on his side from Naruto's blade.

Lazarus stretched out, "If they don't talk can I eat one?"

Anko nodded, "Sure."

"Hey Anko, if salt causes pain when put into a wound, what would soy sauce or wasabi paste do?" asked Naruto who was examining his traveling spices.

The jonin licked his lips, "Cute, great in bed and the kitchen and sadistic to boot. Man, did I luck out!"

Akamaru barked, "Akamaru says there's fire ant hill nearby. Can we toss one in there?"

The Demon Brothers started sweating bullets when Anko gave a sadistic grin, "Let's do it! Which one do you want to throw in and which should we test condiments on?"

Naruto smiled, "Can we remove a leg or two for Lazarus first?"

"Of course! Pick your cuts, Lazarus!" smiled Anko as the wolf glided over to the two terrified ninjas.

Just as Lazarus was about to clamp down on his leg Meizu screamed, "WE WERE HIRED BY GATO FROM GATO ENTERPRISES TO KILL THE BRIDGE BUILDER! HE HIRED OTHERS TOO! PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!"

Lazarus scoffed, "I don't eat junk food." The brothers blinked, they were tricked!

Hinata frowned, "So you knew about this ,Tazuna."

Tazuna hung his head in shame, "I ... yes, I'm sorry. Wave is very poor at the moment so I couldn't afford anything above a C rank, but I had to get protection so I could finish the bridge in Wave so we can get out of Gato's control ... but I shouldn't have lied so I understand if you leave now."

Naruto looked at each of his teammates before turning to Tazuna, "It's ok, Tazuna. It seems we all agree that the mission should be finished. We'll help you."

Tazuna shed a few tears before bowing and expressing his gratitude.

XXXXXXXXXX

They were only a few minutes from Wave when a bunny hopped out onto the road. Eliot barked and scared the bunny away.

Anko's eyes narrowed, "That bunny was too white for this time of year ... GET DOWN!"

Naruto kicked Tazuna's legs out from under him making him fall flat on his back as everyone else got down. A split second later a massive blade flew over them and embed itself in a tree where a new enemy appeared on the sword.

"Give me the bridge builder and I might let you live." It was Zabuza Momochi ...
