Alone? (A Naruto Fanfiction)

10. Mission Tora

This is gonna be short. Mostly because one of my friends found this and she wants me to update this. raymae1013 go check her story out pls, she's a way better writer than me, Oh, and thank you. Also, the song doesn't relate to the chapter but it reminds me of duckbutt but I feel like it highly relates to naruto for some reason. Plus I love this song.

After that night full of storms and small talk, my days have been filled with odd jobs. And when I say odd jobs' I mean jobs ranging from gardening to babysitting. These few missions make me question if I'm even a ninja or and personal slave to the village. Which is what brings me to right now.

"Sasuke, I'm at point B."

"Sakura, I'm at point C."

"Adrienne, I'm at point D."

"Naruto, I'm at point A, believe it."

Kakashi sighs before replying to the hyperactive boy. "You're slow, Naruto."

"Target has moved! Follow it!" Kakashi yells through the headpiece.

We immediately run from our spots and chase after our target. All four of us dodges behind some trees to keep cover. Naruto spots the moving target as we move in on it.

"What your distance from the target?" The grey-haired Jonin whispers through the mic.

"5 meters," The short blonde responds. "I'm ready, just give me the signal."

"I'm ready too." The other boy says quietly.

"So am I." The pink-haired girl says.

"I'm good too." I say even though I have no clue as to where the target is. But Kakashi continues.

"Okay.... NOW!"

The three rush out while I just follow after them, to see Naruto tackling a struggling brown cat with a red bow on its right ear.

"I got him! I got him!" Naruto screams as the terrified cat preceded to attack him. Sakura and I stand there admiring the aggressive cat that was now quite literally beating Naruto up.

Sasuke was giving Kakashi all the details on the lost feline.

"Lost pet Torah captured. Mission accomplished." Kakashi tells us.

"CAN'T WE GET A BETTER MISSION THAN THIS?!" Naruto proceeds to scream into the headset causing all of us to fall from the ringing.

Once we made our way back to the Hokage, we give the cat to a plump woman. As soon as the cat was in her hands, she starts giving it a suffocating hug and squishing it.

Poor cat.

"Stupid cat. That kitty deserves to be squashed." Naruto says with a little laugh while scratching his head.

I poke him before glaring at him. "Don't be mad you got your ass handed to you by a cat." I chuckle.

The Hokage starts to talk about different tasks we have to do as Genin. Ranging from babysitting a 3-year-old to digging up potatoes. But before he could finish, big mouth Naruto interjects.

"Noooooo!" He then jumps out in front of us with his arms like a big "X. "I wanna go on a real mission, something challenging and exciting, not this little kid stuff!"

I mean, he's not wrong.

The others seem to agree and or expected this from Naruto. Although Sakura and Kakashi looked highly annoyed.

"How dare you!" Iruka-Sensei abruptly stands up and scolds Naruto.
"You're a brand new genin with no experience. Like everyone else, you start with simple missions to develop your skills and prove yourself!"

"Are you serious?! Babysitting is not a mission! It's just a stupid-"

Bink

Kakashi then punches Naruto over the head to shut him up, causing him to land on his face. "Will you put a lid on it?"

The big baby on the floor starts whining and rubbing his head where Kakashi punched him at.

"Naruto. It seems you don't understand the tasks you've been given. Many different tasks come into this village every day, from babysitting to assassinations."

And that's where the old man lost me. I heard bits and pieces about how based on your rank, say how difficult your mission will be. Plus, you get paid for it, but other than that, I was too focused on Naruto talking about ramen.

The knucklehead had his back to the Hokage while all of team 7, including Kakashi, listened. "So I had this Tonkotsu ramen yesterday, and in thinking miso ramen today."

"SILENCE!"

Kakashi rubs his head before politely apologizing.

Naruto then starts yelling about him not being a brat and that he's ninja now, and wants a ninja mission. He soon follows that by turning around on the ground and pouting like a 4-year old that's throwing a tantrum.

"So be it, I'm gonna give you a C ranked mission. You're gonna be bodyguards on a journey." The old man finally declares, shocking us all.

"Really?! Yes! Who? Who? Is it gonna be a princess? Or some counselor?" Naruto says as he finally turns around after hearing the news.

"I'll bring him in now. Send in our visitor."

We all turn to the door as it slides open. I notice the smell of Sake immediately as a drunken man walks through.

"What the? A bunch of snot-nosed kids?" The strange man then chugs the drink, causing some of it to spill onto his grey beard.

I already don't like him.

"And you, the little one with the idiotic look on your face. You really expect me to believe you're a ninja." I chuckle at the man's words knowing who he was talking about.

"Who's the little one with the idiotic look on his-" Naruto laughs while looking around before realizing he's the shortest one out of Sakura, Sasuke, and I.

"I'll demolish you! Let me get my hands on him, I'll destroy him!" He screams as Kakashi holds him back by his jacket.

"You can't do that to him, Naruto."

The man introduced himself as Tazuna, a master bridge builder, or something like that. And he has to get back home to finish a bridge that will change their country. And he needs us to escort him there safely. Seems simple enough.

As we leave the Hokage office, Kakashi tells us to meet back up at the gate of the village at 12. But before that, I need food. I'm staaarving. The four of us Genin head to get ramen before our big mission.
