"kurama why do people hate me?" i asked as i sat on my bed with tears staining my face

"i dont know naruto, but you dont need them" kurama replied and i sniffed and wiped my eyes with my sleeve "i guess" i said then heard a knock at the

Door "who's that?" i asked as i walked over and unlocked the door "be careful naruto" kurama said as i opened the door "oh sasuke" i said and sakura hid behind him "the hokage wants us" sasuke said and i sighed "fine" i said walking out and shutting the door "sakura stop hiding behind sasuke its annoying" i said and she jumped away from sasuke

"s-sorry" she stuttered nervously making me sigh "listen i didn't mean what i said yesterday" i told her and she nodded

Still nervous "you're so annoying" i sighed as i walked to hurizens office.

"ahh naruto you're here" hurizen beamed and kakashi looked at me as me, sasuke and sakura walked in

"what?" i asked and he cleared his throat and looked at some papers "i have a misson for you" he smiled and i stuffed my hands in my pockets "hmm?" i raised an eyebrow slightly intrested "yes, you have to help a farmer harvest his crops" he said and my eyebrows lowered into a glare "like im doing that" i said walking off but kakashi grabbed my collar "you have to obey hokage-sama naruto" he said with a closed eye smile but i saw rigjt through it "really?" i asked and he nodded "i want a harder misson" i argued and hurizen sighed "you only just became a gennin" hurizenargued iswell "a gennin that can kick your ass" i growled and he glared at me but then sighed "fine I'll give you a C-rank misson to escort a bridge builder to the land of waves" he said and i smiled slightly "its better i guess" i mumbled "so who's the person we have to escort?" sakura asked "come in!" hurizen called out and an old man came in and i looked at him "why am i being escorted by gennin?" he said angrily and my eye twitched

"this is tanzo and he needs to get to the land of waves" hurizen said and i rolled my eyes "its okay tazuna I'm a jounin" kakashi smiled and tazuna sighed "fine, lets go" tazuna said and we all followed him to the gate.

"ok so from now on we will protect you woth our lifed tazuna" kakashi smiled and i rolled my eyes

"lets go" i said walking ahead "wait!" sakura shouted and everyone ran up to me "naruto can i talk to you" kakashi said and i shrugged "sure" i said and we slowed down so we were a few feet behind everyone "yeah?" i asked uninterested

"i want you to protect sasuke and sakura" he said and i looked at them "why?" i asked

"they're not strong like you and they could end up walking down the wrong path" kakashi said and i closed my eyes "i guess"

I said and opened my eyed "fine I'll look out for them" i said and he sighed out of relief"thankyou naruto" he said making me stopped dead iny tracks "what did you say?" i asked bewildered "i said "thankyou naruto"" he said confused and i smiled "thankyou kakashi" i said walking ahead "why are you so happy" sasuke asked and i opened my mouth to say something but kakashi was suddenly wrapped in chains and torn apart making my eyes go wide slightly then i shot my head towards tazuna "damn" i mumbled as a man went to take his head off but i jumped towards the man and pinned him to a tree "dont you fucking dare touch my team" i growled and placed a kunai to his throat but he smirked and another man went to tazuna but sasuke kicked his head and i slit the mans throat and saw the crimson blood stream down his neck making me relax and grin "that felt good" i said and threw the body away and kakashi appeared

And my eye twitched "bastered" i said and he walked up to tazuna "why are there ninja after you?" kakashi asked and tazuna smiled nervously "well you see there's this guy called gatou and he took over our village

So we're making a bridge so gatou can't push us around anymore" he said and kakashi sighed "this is an A rank mission why didn't you just apply for that and grt chunnin or jounnin except gennin?" kakashi and "our village is small and we dont have much so i couldn't afford an A rank mission" he said and i started to walk back to the leaf "my daughter would be heart broken if i didn't come home and my grandson would cry my name everyday in case i could hear it" tazuna said trying to guilt trip me "yeah? Try telling that to someone who cares" i growled and kakashi sighed "i thought you wanted a hard

Mission" kakashi said and i stopped "this could be intresting naruto" kurama said and i looked back and smirked "fine I'll go" i said as i walked up to them "but you owe me ichiraku when we get back" i said and kakashi chuckled "fine" he said and i chuckled atop of kuramas head "hope you're ready for a large bowl of miso ramen" i said and kurama chuckled "who isn't?" kurama replied and i fell back onto his heaf and opened my eyes to see sasuke and sakura arguing with kakashi and i smiled slightly "lets go kurama" i said softly.
