Chapter 5: First C-Rank


Jiraiya says, "I'll be out of the village for awhile. I'd like for you to do at least one C-Rank mission during my absence. You can obviously do more than one, but I'd like to train you a bit more. All though, you could perfectly do a C-Rank, or higher, and be perfectly fine. Me saying that doesn't mean you shouldn't train."

Jiraiya then disappears in a Toad Shunshin, because if Itachi can disappear into a murder of crows, then he can disappear into a knot of toads. And by the way, a "Knot" is the actual term for a group of toads.

So Naruto grabs, Temari by the waist, and Ash Shunshins in front of the mission Assignment Room. It is located within a huge, wide-open space with six windows and high ceilings with two stick-like lights. The ceiling also has the kanji for the word "shinobi" printed on it. There is a long table where the Hokage and other ninja sit when distributing the missions. On the front of the desk, there is a white banner with the kanji that says "mission assignment this way", and at the top is another banner that says "everybody, do your best".

Naruto, and Temari enter the room to see the Sandaime, Iruka, Kakashi, and Kakashi's team. Temari says, "The Pervert wants us to do a C-Rank mission."

The Sandaime quickly thinks for a bit, before grabbing a folder. He says, "You are just in luck. You'll be going on a C-Rank mission with Team 7. You five are to escort, and protect a bridge builder named Tazuna on his way home to Nami no Kuni, and while he builds his bridge. ANBU bring Tazuna here."

A couple hours later, an old man enters. He is a grey-haired, bespectacled man with a large beard and dark eyes. The old man wears a sleeveless v-neck shirt with an obi, pants and a pair of sandals. He also carried a towel around his neck and wore a pointed hat on his head.

Naruto guesses that this old man is Tazuna, which he is correct in that guess. Tazuna then says, "So I'm going to be protected by a bunch of Gakis? Me a Master Bridge Builder?" He then point to Naruto, and Temari, Tazuna continues, "At least Tomato, and Fan looks competent. Anyway, protect me with your lives."

Kakashi says, "Pack for a month long mission, and meet at the South Gat in two hours. Ja ne."

And two hours later, Naruto, and Temari are the first to get to the gate. As they are sitting against a tree, Sasuke comes. Obviously, Sakura is the last of the Genin. She probably wanted to do her make-up for her "Sasuke-kun", and slightly forgetting about packing for their first C-Rank mission. After Sakura, Kakshi, along with Tazuna appears.

Kakashi says, "Let's get going."

And so they walked through the gate. Sasuke, and Sakura are excited about going outside Konoha. All though Sasuke is an Emo, so he didn't show it.

A day of travel later, Kakashi, Naruto, and Temari notice a puddle Genjutsu. Naruto unnoticeably facepalms. It hasn't even rained in at least a month. And when two missing-nin from Kiri jump out of the puddle "killing" Kakashi, Naruto quickly says, "Haiton: Jigoku Gēto no Jutsu (Ash Release: Breath of Hell's Gates Technique)!" Naruto then proceeds to exhale a narrow and continuous stream of heated ash particles. Killing the Shinobi, with a tiny hole straight through his chest.

Naruto then freezes. He killed someone. Somebody died, and it was because of him. He then felt his wet cheeks. He his crying. Naruto then smells the blood coming from the dead shinobi, and pukes. Temari quickly goes to his aid, as Sasuke attacks the other Shinobi.

Sasuke ducks under a slash from the opponent's claw, and punched the Shinobi in the stomach. He quickly jumps up in the air, flipping around heel kicking the Shinobi on the top of the missing-nin's head. Making the former Kiri-nin fall face first into the ground, knocking him out.

Kakashi appears in a puff of smoke. He says, "Good job Naruto, and Sasuke. Naruto, this happens. Find a release, like with me reading Icha Icha, and being late all of the time. We'll wait for Meizu to wake up, then I'll interrogate him. Also Tazuna I want some answers."

After Meizu wakes up, he sees Kakashi, with his Sharingan, staring right at him. Meizu doesn't say shit at all. Making Kakashi look at Tazuna, as he asks, "Now Tazuna, why are the Demon Brothers after you?"

Tazuna says, "Do you guys know Gato. Well recently he took over the Wave's Shipping, and In the underground Gato deals in human trafficking, drugs, weapons, you name, he has a hand in it. When Gato took the shipping over he made the country dirt poor. Not even the Daimyo has the money for anything over a C-Rank mission. That's why I'm building the Bridge. If I can finish the bridge, the Wave will prosper again, and we will be happy. My grandson will believe in heroes once again. I beg of you to help me, and Nami no Kuni."

Kakashi looks towards his team, as he asks, "What do we do? Do we still help Tazuna, and his country, or do we stop this mission?"

Naruto, and Temari answers, "We want to help Tazuna."

Sasuke replies, "Hn. It's my first C-Rank mission. I want to complete it."

While Sakura says, "If Sasuke, and the rest want to continue, then so do I."

Kakashi says, "Good answer. Let's stop here, and take a break." Which is exactly what they do.

Days later, just before they make it to the shore, a man appears in front of them. The man is a fairly tall man of fair complexion. He has onyx eyes, under which were long, pronounced tear-troughs. He has jet-black hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail and his face was framed with centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin; the ponytail and bangs grew longer over the years. His overall appearance is very similar to Sasuke's.

Sasuke, Kakashi, and Naruto know exactly who this person is. With those people saying, "Nii-san/ Weasel-nii/ Itachi?"

Itachi wears a slashed Konoha hitai-ate. He also wears a maroon cloak unbuttoned to his mid-chest with his left arm resting there. Under the cloak, is a mesh armour with navy accents under an identical t-shirt with a simple white belt around the waist and dark blue pants. And finally black open-toed sandals.

Itachi see everyone get into a Taijutsu stance. He quickly says, "I'm not here to fight. I'm just here to talk to Naruto in privacy. Follow me."

So that's what Naruto does. When Itachi thought they are far enough away, he hand Naruto a scroll. Itachi says, "Naruto when you get back to the village open this, and do exactly as it says, or if you lose your right eye implant this Sharingan into it."

Naruto opens the scroll, and finds a single Sharingan eye, and a letter. The Sharingan's design is a four-point pinwheel, with four triangle like blades coming off of the points.

Naruto asks, "What is this Sharingan?"

Itachi answers, "It's the ultimate Sharingan: Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. It has two special abilities. One is called Kamui, and the other is Kotoamatsukami. Kamui lets the user be intangible, and have a pocket dimension. Kotoamatsukami is a very powerful mind-controlling Genjutsu. The technique allows the user to enter the mind of any individual within their field of view, and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things of their own free will."

Naruto nods understanding. Itachi then says, "Here is another scroll for Sasuke, when you get back to your team give it to him. It explains the whole Uchiha Massacre, everything leading up to it, and my thoughts about the whole thing. Since you two both were present when the Massacre happened I want both of you to read it."

Naruto pockets both scrolls, and returns to see a male. The Man has long green hair, purple eyes, with an Ame hitai-ate on his forehead. He is tall, and wears a two-tone bodysuit that has a wide stripe going down the middle. On the male's back is an umbrella. He has a black sleeve on his right arm, and a black glove on his left hand.

He is holding a sword in his right hand. The blade glowed bright yellow and was apparently infused with pure electrical energy.

Naruto hears Kakashi saying, "Aoi Rokushō. The former Konoha-nin, who "stole" the Raijin no Ken. The Raijin no Ken was created by the Nidaime Hokage. When Aoi was a comrade, and a Konoha-nin, I heard he was average at best. Sasuke, Naruto, and Temari can handle him. Sakura, and I'll protect the client."

Aoi says, "I'm a Jounin of Amegakure. You'll pay for disrespecting me!"

He then rushes at Kakashi aiming to take his other eye, but Aoi's arm gets stopped by a tendral of burning ash. Making the Ame Jounin drop the Raijin no Ken, from the pain of the ash. Which also deactivated the sword. Kakashi picks the sword, and places it in his weapons pouch for safe keeping.

Aoi then screams in pain, as his hand falls off from how Naruto's ash burned through the wrist. Naruto then says, "Hai no Co!" Covering Aoi with his ash, from neck to toe. Naruto then says, "Hai no taki no keimusho (Prison of the Ash Waterfall)!" The redhead clenches his hand into a fist, compressing the ash. When Naruto unclenches his hand, all that remains is his head.

Naruto then seals the head of Aoi into a scroll. He then walks to Sasuke, hands him a different scroll, and whispers something in his ear. Kakashi then says, "Now that this is over, let's get to Nami no Kuni."
