First Real Mission

Normal P. O. V

Team 7 stood in front of the Hokage and Iruka waiting for their next mission. Hiruzen looked through the D-rank files in search for missions to assign to Team 7.

"Let's see, today's mission for team 7 is," he started listing off the choices, "plough farming, digging up potatoes, finding lost pets-"

"Ie! No, no thank you. I want to do a more exciting mission-ttebayo! Give us something else!" Naruto begged.

He's got a point... His two teammates thought

Kakashi sweat dropped at his loud behaviour. He sighed; I thought it was about time for him to get fretful...

Iruka stood up from his seat next to the Hokage, "Baka! You're still a bottom rookie! Everyone moves up the ladder by gaining experience from simple missions!"

"B-but, it's nothing but trash missio-itte!" Kakashi punched Naruto in the head to shut him up.

"That's enough, Naruto," Kakashi warned.

The Hokage sighed and finally spoke up, explaining to Naruto about the missions that jonin, chunin, and genin are allowed to do and the history behind it in a long winded boring speech.

"...and yesterday I had pork ramen. It was great dattebayo!" exclaimed Naruto.

"Listen!" The Hokage yelled.

Kakashi sighed rubbing back of his head, "Gomen"

"Mannnnn! Jii-chan, I'm not the prankster you think I am! Hmph!"

Iruka and Hiruzen started to chuckle. Letting out a puff of smoke from his pipe, Hiruzen said, "If you insist, we can give you a C-ranked mission. You'll be a bodyguard"

Naruto jumped up in excitement. "Really!? SUGOI! Who is it? Who is it? A feudal lord or a princess~"

"Don't get so hasty, I'll introduce you now. Please come in!" The Hokage called.

Team 7 turned to the opening door. In stumbled an old man holding a beer bottle. He rocked side to side a little before he rested his vision on the team.

"Nani?! It's just a bunch of squirts!"

He took a long swing from his bottle, "

Particularly you, the smallest one with the idiotic face. Are you really a ninja?"

Naruto started laughing and looking around "Who's the one with the idiotic face ha ha?"

Sasuke and Hinata moved closer to Naruto, "Naruto-kun..."

Once Naruto realized he was the smallest he launched himself towards the man, yelling, "I'll kill you!"

Kakashi grabbed his collar, "Naruto you're not supposed to kill the client. You're supposed to be guarding him!"

The old man introduced himself, "I'm Tazuna, a veteran bridge builder. You will guard me limb and life until I return to my village and finish the bridge"

They all nodded in understanding, well, except for Naruto who was still coming into terms with the fact that he had to guard the old geezer that dared insult him.
