You were up on a tree branch with Kakashi watching the three imbeciles eating their lunch with the exception of Naruto.

"I bet they're going to feed him." You spoke up.

"Mm. I don't know why, but there's something special about those three." He replied.

"Besides the fact they're a little stupid." You added, a little quieter. Kakashi sighed.

"Y/n, you shouldn't be putting your teammates down like that. You're learning just like them." He scolded.

"I already know that, but their heads aren't even on straight..." You replied quietly.

"Y/n." Kakashi warned.

"What? It's the truth. Naruto wants to become Hokage and prove everyone wrong, which is very admirable, but he's missing the point, Sasuke only cares about avenging his clan and killing Itachi, and Sakura is too busy trying to seduce Sasuke and have his babies." You said while rolling your eyes.

'She has a good point.' Kakashi thought.

Y/n, you're very observant.

'Cer, It's not that I'm observant, anyone can see what I just stated.'

However, they'll grow.

'Yeah, but I can't help but feel something bad is going to happen...'

Trust your gut, kid.

Naruto then started rambling on about how he can go DAYS without eating anything. (Bullshit) You then saw Sasuke handing over his bento to Naruto and Sakura trying to get him to stop.

"It's fine. I don't sense him or Y/n near us." You heard Sasuke say.

'Hm. He's not so inconsiderate like I thought, but he's only doing it so they can pass.' You thought while narrowing your eyes. Sakura then held the bento out towards Naruto and started feeding him.

"Let's go, Sensei." You said while disappearing. Then a HUGE puff of smoke appeared and Kakashi broke through the smoke bomb.

"YOU!" He exclaimed while you were leaning on a nearby tree, watching the scene unfold.

"You broke the rules, I hope you're ready for your punishment..." He said as he did a hand sign and dark stormy clouds appeared with thunder and lightning.

"Any last words?" He asked.

'This is amusing.' You thought while smirking.

'Oh lord chicken ass, I'm sadistic...' You thought again.

"But you said..." Naruto trailed off.

"Yes?" Kakashi asked.

"You said! You said! You said!" He ranted.

"There were three of us and... Sakura, Sasuke..." Naruto trailed off.

"We're a team, and we're ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!" Sasuke (sang) said.

"That's right! The three of us are one!" Sakura said.

"YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!! BELIEVE IT! THAT'S RIGHT!!" Naruto screeched. You sighed.

"The three of you are one, eh?" He repeated while walking forward. They all started to grow nervous until they heard slow clapping. They all turned their heads and saw you walking towards them with a smirk on your face.

"Congratulations." You started.

"You pass!" Kakashi finished.

"Eh? Why? How did we?" Sakura asked.

"You're the first squad that ever succeeded. Up until now, the others would follow exactly what I said." He explained as the dark clouds of evilness went away.

"They couldn't think for themselves. A ninja must see through deception." He explained.

"In the shinobi world, those who break the rules are scum... but those who abandon their friends are even worse than scum." Kakashi said. Sakura and Naruto were all teary eyed while Sasuke smirked.

"Nice job you three. I can already tell this is going to be one hell of a (butler) team." You said. The three stared at you dumbfounded.

"You just complimented us..." Naruto trailed off.

"Exactly... don't get use to it." You said before turning around and leaving. Kakashi just sweatdropped.

'Heh. It's a start.' He thought. What they didn't see, was the tiny minuscule smile on your lips.

"HEY WAIT!! I'M STILL TIED TO THIS FRICKEN THING!!" Naruto yelled. You chuckled.

*cue intense music*

"Sasuke, I'm at point B."

"Sakura, here at point C!"

"Y/n, here at point D."

•

"Naruto here. I'm at point A!"

"You're too slow, Naruto." Kakashi scolded.

"Okay, squad seven." Kakashi started.

"Target has moved!!"

"Follow it!!"

"Distance, from the target?"

"I'm 2 meters away, give the signal, and I'll tackle it." You said.

"Okay..."

"Do it!"

"COME HERE YOU PSYCO CAT!!" You screamed while tackling it.

"Positive ID." Sasuke said.

"Would you stop CLAWING ME?!?!?!" You yelled which made the cat have a heart attack and pass out.

"Eh?" You muttered.

"YOU KILLED THE CAT!!!"

~
"Ohhhh! My cute Tora! Mama was so worried about you, yes I was!"

"Stupid cat, he deserves to be squeezed!" Naruto said while laughing at it.

"I may not be a cat person, but I feel for that cat right now." You added as you sweatdropped.

"I can see why he ran away..." Sakura added on.

"Now then, we have several open tasks, run an errand to a neighboring town, babysit the chief councilor's three year old, helping with potatoes—"

"Noooo!!" Naruto whined.

"I wanna go on a real mission! Something challenging and exciting, not this little kid stuff! Come on old man!" Naruto exclaimed.

'He's got a point.' Sasuke thought.

'He's such a pain!' Sakura thought.

'Eugh... I knew this was coming.' Kakashi thought.

'Oh no...' You thought.

"How dare you!! You're just a Genin with no experience!" Iruka exclaimed, slamming his hands on the desk.

"But Y/n got to go on a cool mission!" Naruto whined.

"It was a mission to find my clan, but it didn't even last two days since most of them died." You muttered, but still loud enough for them to hear you.

"At the start everyone moves up the ladder! By gaining experience from simple missions!" Iruka ranted.

"Are you serious?! Babysitting isn't a mission, it's just stupid— gah!" Naruto face planted into the floor.

"Naruto, shut up!" Kakashi scolded.

"Listen. Requests pour into our village everyday. It can range from babysitting to assassinations. And while Y/n has been on a few of those assassination missions, she's ready for them. Considering all she's witnessed." Hokage explained. This caused Sasuke to perk up.

'Witness?' He thought.

"A wide spectrum of requests are recorded on the request list, then separated into A, B, C, and D ranks in order of difficulty. In the village, everyone below me is divided up by ability in the order of Jonin, Chuunin, and Genin." He explained further.

"We at the highest level distribute the requests as missions to ninja who have the abilities that suit said mission. And, if the mission is successful, the fee comes in with the client."

"Nevertheless, you guys have just become Genin. Rank D is about the best you can do— hm?!" Hokage realized no one was paying attention to him, except you. You sighed.

"Very sorry, Hokage-sama." You apologized. He sighed.

"Listen!!" He bellowed.

"S-sorry." Kakashi said while rubbing his neck.

"You always lecture me, old man!" Naruto exclaimed.

"I'm not the little prankster that I use to be!" He finished while huffing and turning away with a pout on his face.

"Okay, fine. If you insist." The Hokage gave in.

"I'll have you do a C rank mission." He added.

"You'll be the bodyguards of someone." He explained. Naruto perked up and quickly snapped his head around.

"Really?! Who? Who?" Naruto hastily asked.

"A feudal lord? Or a princess?!" Naruto asked.

"Don't get so hasty, I'll introduce you now!" Hokage said.

"Could you please come in?" The Hokage asked. You all turned and looked behind you to see the door slide open and a man with a bottle in his hand. He lazily looked up at all of you.

"What's this? It's just a bunch of darned squirts!" He said. He had grey hair, a beard and mustache, and he was drinking out of a bottle. His eyes were also red and puffy.

'He's drunk isn't he?' You thought.

"Particularly you, with the tomato red hair, you don't look like a ninja, you're too short." He called out. An irk mark appeared on your head. Yes, you're short. Probably two inches shorter than Naruto who was 4'9 at that time...

"I MAY BE SHORT, BUT I CAN STILL KICK YO ASS!!" You shot back.

"I'm Tazuna, veteran bridge builder—"

"DON'T FUCKING IGNORE ME!"

"—I must get back to the village hidden in the waves. You'll be risking life and limb until I return to my country and complete the bridge!" He said.

'Wait... risk life and limb? Why would we do that if it's a C rank mission?' You thought.

This guy's a fucking liar.

'No doubt he's hiding something. Either that or he's too drunk to know what he said.'

Heh, good point.

'Guess we'll have to wait then...'

Ja ne!
