Uchiha Change

Chapter 7- Mission To The Land Of Waves

Natsumi, Sakura and Sasuke were getting closer to their target, they had to be quiet or else the cat would hear them... Natsumi hated that fur ball, they had been chasing the cat all over the village and they still hadn't caught it, at least it was better than Kushina's and Naruto's mission. Since they were a large team, they sometimes had to break of into to two groups. Kushina and Naruto was always together, while Natsumi might be with them or with Sakura and Sasuke.

"What's the distance of the target?" Kakashi asked. He was keeping an ear out for the other two, since they were helping an old women with her shopping, Maemi Lee was an orphan who chose her last name when she became a shinobi, but now at the age of ninety-three she wasn't able to do much for herself. Her once deep black hair was white, and Maemi kept it at her shoulders, even in her youth, her once bright blue eyes were dull with age. She fell in love with the Uchiha siblings the first time she got team seven's help and since then she always tried to get them to help her with things.

"Five meters," Sakura told him. She was tired of chasing this cat, ever time Natsumi went near it, it ran off like a fox was looking at it for dinner.

"I'm ready to go when you are," Natsumi said. She was going to kill this cat and pretend that it was a training accented... like one of Tenten's kunai going off course, but she wouldn't blame Tenten... instead she could always blame that Hiro kid, he was always missing his targets, so it would be easy to believe.

"Hnn,"

"Seriously, Uchiha speech is getting worse with each generation," Kushina snapped. Sasuke forgot that both she and Naruto could hear them, in fact Natsumi had asked how their 'chore' was going and Kushina told them, that both she and Naruto were doing random 'chores' that have been called missions.

"Got ya!" Natsumi shouted as she pulled the cat into a hug. They didn't know this was the right cat, until Sakura looked at her right ear and conformed that it was Tora.

"Hey Natsumi... what happened?" Naruto asked. They had just done the last chore on Maemi's list, this might be great when Genin were just starting out, but Hiruzen knew what time they were from, they could handle a C-rank by themselves, Naruto could do S-ranks for giggled and laughs, but this was an insult.

"Cat..." Natsumi muttered glaring at the cat in Sakura's arms, Kushina just looked at it and it had the same reaction to her as it did to Natsumi "I think it hates us,"

"There's a reason,"

"Don't worry Natsumi, we'll tell you when we get home," Naruto told her. If they were still getting D-ranks, then they were most likely going to have to put in some training, both Naruto and Kushina were sure that Gai and Lee would be more than happy to join them. They had been for the last two months.

"No wonder the cat ran," Sakura said. She watched as the cat she was holding was squeezed, if she was Tora then she'd ran as well... she was pretty sure that the rest of her team was the same. Sasuke would attack her, along with Kushina and Naruto, Natsumi would hiss and run and she'd ran... but they weren't cats, Sakura was glad for that much.

"Team Seven's next duty is babysitting an elders grandson, shopping in the neighbourhood village and help with the photo digging," Hiruzen said. The Uchiha's were glaring at him, and Natsumi looked like she wanted to scream... they would have to go into two and she was sick and tired of being stuck to doing chores, that was all these were, chores.

"No more," Natsumi yelled, her hands were in fists by her side, she was getting sick of this. She didn't get up with the sun and train, just so she'd have to do something civilians didn't want to, something students at the academy should be doing so they have a better understand of missions and teamwork "Just no more chores,"
