I don't own Naruto, if I did... the pairings would make more sense...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Investigation team hastily set out to prepare for their mission. Naruto used shunshin and appeared in his room, a look of determination adorned his face. He went to his nightstand and pulled his father's Kunai out and stabbed it into the bedpost. He reached his finger through the loop, and like that, he was on a very familiar hill. Naruto looked around, he could feel a darkness looming over the peaceful fishing village, everything, from the trees in the distance, to two graves behind him felt eerie. He stared at Haku's marker for a moment, but his mind snapped back to his promise to Sakura.
Naruto cracked his knuckles and plucked the Kunai from the ground, and in a yellow flash, he was back in his room. He put the matching 3-Pronged Kunai on his bed and went into his closet, where Mitsuki had recently moved his things.
Naruto stripped down and grabbed a mail vest. He pulled it on and then fished through the closet for his lucky orange shirt. He pulled the long-sleeved tee over his head, and checked the seals woven into the left sleeve. All of the weapons and camping supplies were accounted for, so he looked for the rest of his Ninja attire, chiefly the armor plates for his torso. On the shelf above his clothing, he saw a box with the 'NON-WASHABLE' on it. He hopped up and snatched it off the shelf and rifled through it. He pulled out his forearm guards and slipped his hands into the attached gloves.
Mitsuki poked her head in the doorway and wordlessly tossed Naruto his orange ankle-wraps and his flak jacket, Naruto smiled in reply as she disappeared back into the spacious bedroom.
Naruto was about to walk out of the closet, but he saw his black Haori on the floor. It was inside out, and he noticed that it was reversible. The other side was exactly the same, save for the coloring and the kanji on the back. It was white, with the same orange flames licking the bottom, and the golden kanji inscribed in the spiral said 'Foxy'. Naruto would have laughed, but A booming voice ruined the idea.
'I like it… You do take after me a bit. Huh Kit?'
'Eh? Shut up.'
'Or what?'
Naruto sighed and addressed his freeloading inner-demon as he walked out of his closet.
'I'll muzzle you again!'
'I haven't said anything in quite some time, what's got you on PMS?'
'I enjoy having my thoughts to myself from time to time. Reminded me of when you couldn't talk to me at will.'
'What could it possibly be that has you so pumped up? It's kind of annoying.'
'The hell? Like you can talk about annoying! Why do you even care?'
'First, you're the only thing I can interact with. You won't mate with any females for reasons unknown to me. I can feel my intelligence ebb away with every passing hour, and you haven't done anything worthwhile in the past two years. That's a long time, regardless of life-span, especially when you're trapped in another body. So yes, you've forced me to take at least some level of interest in your social life, it's the only form of entertainment I have.'
Naruto scratched his head and replied to the demon. 'Okay. Well, I have an S-Rank mission to investigate sightings of Orochimaru and Sasuke.'
Naruto could feel the demon's chakra spike as he laughed and clawed at his cage. 'Are you gonna let me come out and play? HAHAHA! I CAN'T WAIT TO RIP THAT SLITHERING FOOL TO SHREDS! YOU'RE BOYFRIEND IS ALSO ON THE GUILLOTINE!'
Naruto shook his head. 'That's why you can't come out and play, you damned fox.'
The Kyuubi's booming laughter echoed through Naruto's skull. 'We'll see about that, Naruto.'
Naruto frowned as the Kyuubi's roaring laughter faded into silence. He walked over to his bed and pulled his sleeveless haori over his flak jacket. He stared at the matching three-pronged-kunai on the bed, and put them in his thigh holsters. Ready to leave, Naruto used shunshin and appeared at the front gate. He was still 20 minutes early, so he opted to go to the ninja equipment store and buy some explosive tags, he would need them should the need to fight Sasuke arrive.
Sasuke groaned as he was awakened from his nap for the 4th time. He was lying on the roof of a hidden cabin, he wanted to catch some sleep before he resumed his training, but the old snake was busy torturing (and likely experimenting on) a leaf spy he captured.
Sasuke could care less if it weren't for the fact that the man's constant screaming was keeping him awake. Sasuke cursed as he hopped down and opened the door. He passed Kabuto, who was sharpening his scalpel on the kitchen table, and went into the basement.
"Oi, Orochimaru."
The pale man turned around, slightly annoyed, as he seemed to really be enjoying the torture session.
"What is it, Sasuke-kun?"
"Is there really any point in torturing this man?"
Orochimaru gave Sasuke a patronizing smile, his shiny fangs made Sasuke feel unsettled. "Why the sudden bout of compassion, Sasuke-kun?"
"I'm trying to sleep."
"Oh. Well, I've had my fun." Orochimaru slowly turned to the writhing man in the chair, he made Sasuke twitch when he abruptly snapped the leaf ninja's neck.
Sasuke, stared at the twitching body in mild disgust as he asked another question. "Why did you bring me to Wave country if we're not even staying in Kirigakure? This is a fishing village."
"If you really must know Sasuke-kun, we're going to steal the Kinjutsu scroll from the Ninja village. Staying in close proximity to the target would be… problematic."
"We didn't have to stay in a place with such horrible accommodations, this house doesn't even have a bed. The only thing in this entire village worth a thought is the bridge, which I almost died on a while back."
Orochimaru laughed. "We'll make our move in due time Sasuke-kun. For now, we must figure out what to do about the reinforcements that the leaf will inevitably be sending since I was unable to catch all of this poor man's friends." He gestured at the still twitching body.
Sasuke considered the possibility that Tsunade would send Naruto and Jiraiya after him, surprisingly, he was somewhat interested in fighting Naruto once again. The Uchiha sauntered out of the basement and gave Kabuto a sideways look. Sasuke asked a question, it was the same question he'd asked every day since he'd defected to the old snake for training.
"What's for dinner?"
Kabuto didn't even look up as he inspected his other ninja tools. "Foodpills."
"Fuck."
Sasuke would be going into town for food that day.
Naruto had been browsing the effect tags for kunai for 15 minutes until he noticed a tuft of hair sticking out from behind a shelf in the back. He grinned and yelled, much to the annoyance of the other ninja in the building.
"OI SHIKAMARU!"
The tuft of hair jumped and Naruto could hear a small laugh.
Shikamaru walked out from behind the shelf, holding some smoke bombs. "What's up Naruto!"
"I hear you're on the mission with us!"
"Yeah, the Hokage wanted my recommendation on personnel for this mission. I don't know who this Mitsuki person is though, the Hokage added her to the team."
"She used to be ANBU with Kakashi, she's also my bodyguard now."
"Bodyguards? You gettin' soft Naruto?"
Naruto punched Shikamaru in the shoulder. "Not on your life Pineapple-Head!"
Shikamaru exhaled as he rubbed his shoulder. "Troublesome… We can catch up on the way to Kiri, for now, pay for your stuff and we'll meet everyone outside. Five minutes 'till we leave."
Shikamaru exited the store and Naruto grabbed some explosive tags, some smoke tags, and some expensive ones labeled 'Lighting Rod', apparently it would absorb chakra from Raiton techniques.
Naruto turned to an older ninja in the store.
"Do these work?"
"Sometimes ... I think they're from Kumo."
"Okay, Thanks."
Naruto purchased his tags and exited the store. As he walked to the gate, he could see the team materializing. He looked at Anko, who was twirling some bandages around her finger. When she noticed Naruto's gaze, she winked at him. Naruto turned a little red and cleared his throat as he walked over to the group, everyone excepting Kakashi and Jiraya appeared to be present.
Naruto was about to ask, but Jiraiya appeared in a swirl of leaves, carrying Kakashi like a sack of potatoes. Kakashi was reading his porn and didn't appear to notice or care that he was literally being carried along.
Shikamaru spoke first. "I assume we all know each other?"
The group nodded, and Shikamaru looked toward Mitsuki.
"You're Mitsuki right?"
She nodded.
"What kind of Jutsu do you specialize in?"
"Genjutsu and taijutsu."
"Any trumph cards or secret techniques?"
"It's a surprise."
"Fine, but we did need a genjutsu specialist. Once we reach the Great Naruto Bridge, I'll give further details."
Jiraiya spoke up. "Naruto Bridge?"
Kakashi hopped off of Jiraiya's shoulder and closed his book as he answered the Toad Sage's question.
"Team 7's first real mission was to ensure the completion of that bridge. Naruto was instrumental in said completion, so the people named it after him."
Jiraiya smiled at Naruto, who was still buried in Anko's cleavage and ruffled his hair. "I learn something new every day, you failed to mention that one, Gaki."
Naruto wasn't struggling, it was this, or another hickey, but it's not like he was complaining. Whatever scent Crazy Snake Lady was wearing smelled pretty good. Anko let Naruto go after a few more seconds and began to walk toward the gate.
"That's enough standin' around! Let's go!" With that Anko jumped to the nearest tree branch and waited for everyone else to follow suit.
Naruto straightened his haori and cracked his neck. "You heard her! Let's get movin'!"
As the team blasted through the tree tops, Naruto thought about the early days of Team 7, back when things actually made sense.
"Sasuke-teme, I'm dragging you back here this time whether you want to or not. Sakura won't have to cry over you any more, dattebayo."
The retreival team sprinted from tree to tree at a breakneck pace, trying to cover as much ground as possible before sunset. As they were chasing the disappearing sun, Jiraiya was the first to question the frantic pace of travel.
"Shikamaru, we're a recon team, right?"
"Correct."
"At this rate, we'll be in wave by sundown. I figure it would be better for us to avoid Orochimaru until we have a plan. It's likely he'd be hiding in the fishing village next to the bridge to make escaping an easy task."
"I know, I just want us close enough so that we can move into the village at a moments notice."
After several more minutes of jumping, Shikamaru saw the bridge peer over the horizon, to his right, he spotted, about 3 miles to his right, a tiny clearing in the forest. He pointed to it and issued his orders.
"We'll set up camp over there!"
Naruto thought for a second. "Shikamaru, I know someone who'll take us in!"
"Not today. We can't risk getting spotted in the village until it's absolutely necessary."
The team made it to the clearing and caught their breath for a few minutes until Shikamaru started speaking again.
"Set up camp and we'll discuss the plan for tomorrow."
The six ninja set up some tents and a camp fire. Naruto sat in his tent as he began unsealing kunai from his sleeve seals. He spent several minutes attaching the explosive and smoke tags to the kunai, but he miscounted the number of seals he bought at the store. He used up all his kunai for the smoke and explosive tags and didn't have enough left to test the lightning rods on. Naruto crawled out of his tent.
"Oi, Kakashi-sensei!" Kakashi appeared in front of Naruto.
"Yo."
"I need you to test these lightning rod tags for me."
"How?"
"Can you shoot lightning at it or something?"
Kakashi raised his eyebrow at Naruto.
Naruto's puppydog eyes watered. "Pleeeeeeeeaaaaase!"
Kakashi sighed and pointed. "Fine. Stick it to that tree and we'll see what happens."
Naruto jumped over to the designated tree and stuck the tag to it and ran behind Kakashi. The rest of the camp began to stare in their direction as Kakashi started sparking with electricity.
"Are you gonna use Raikiri on it?"
"Not exactly."
Kakashi pointed at the tag and the Raikiri leapt off of Kakashi's hand. It appeared as a hound made of pure lightning and in a flash, it crashed into the tree with and explosion of electricity. The tag appeared to suck the cloud of electricity into it and began to glow shortly afterward. Kakashi raised an eyebrow in amusement and shot another hound at the seal, which again, absorbed the attack. Seconds later however, the tag burst into flames and the released electricity fried the tree to a crisp.
Kakashi held his chin. "So they store electricity until they overload? Interesting, where'd you get these, Naruto?"
Naruto shrugged. "The store next to the gate sells them, apparently they're from Kumogakure."
"They'll be useful if you have to fight Sasuke."
"Yeah. That's what I thought, but I don't have enough Kunai for them."
"Sorry Naruto, I can't spare any. Maybe you could just attach them to your flak jacket and Haori? If you have enough, they may not explode on you."
"Good idea!"
Shikamaru and Mitsuki got up from the fire pit and walked over to Naruto and Kakashi.
Mitsuki stared at the tree as she talked. "Those would be even more useful if it weren't for the exploding part."
Shikamaru looked at Naruto. "Naruto, could you give me one of those?"
"Yeah, sure." Naruto handed one to Shikamaru, and he walked over to his tent. Naruto noticed Mitsuki was staring at him, like she was expecting something.
"What is it Mitsuki-chan?"
"Anko's nowhere to be found, just thought I should let you know."
The blonde sighed and shrugged. "It's fine, she likes to mess with me, but it's never anything too bad."
"Anko doesn't joke around Namikaze-sama, you'd better mentally prepare yourself for whatever she has in store for you."
Out of nowhere, the Kyuubi interjected. 'If you screw this up, I'm going to TAKE. OVER. YOUR BODY.'
'Huh? Just shut up for a second, I'm in the middle of a conversation!'
"Can't you do something about it? ... Oh, I know! Pretend to be my girlfriend or something!"
"Namikaze-sama, even if I did do that, it wouldn't matter to her. I suggest you just let this happen, it's kind of... inevitable."
"Eh? Let what happen?"
Mitsuki grinned. "You'll be fine! She just wants to suck your blood!"
Naruto twitched. "Wait what?!?"
There was a long pause while the two shinobi stared at each other, Mitsuki's face began to contort until she burst into a laugh, however, she was able to speak relatively clearly.
"Namikaze-sama. She likes you, just talk to her for more than thirty seconds."
'Fucking moron.'
Naruto inwardly pouted in embarassment. '... Shut up!'
Naruto looked back and forth between Kakashi and his bodyguard until Kakashi face-palmed."Naruto. Consider it part of your training... for facing uncertainties. This experience will... round you out a bit more, make you more... aware."
'And less socially inept. You're like the retarded cub that the mother leaves to die.'
'T-that was... cold... even for you... Maybe Kakashi-sensei will understand!'
Naruto stared at Kakashi, quizically, obviously wanting to ask what was going to happen. Kakashi shook his head and gave a bored; "... This is really not my problem." He then went over to the camp fire to heat his food up.
"Namikaze-sama, as your bodyguard and caretaker, I'm ordering you to spend some time with Anko-san, it'll be good for you."
Naruto's big blue eyes watered as he pleaded to Mitsuki. "If whatever this is will be good for me, can't you teach me instead? ... I trust you more."
Mitsuki turned a bit red in the cheeks for a moment as she thought Naruto was serious, but after several seconds passed, she realized that Naruto had no idea what he was talking about. The green-eyed ninja gasped, and fake-swooned. "Oh, Namikaze-sama, what would the maids say?!" Mitsuki chuckled some more as a gust of wind blew by, it ruffled her long and wild black hair, her neon green eyes sucked Naruto in as she looked at him. She somehow failed to notice Naruto gawking at her smiling face.
'Ya know, she's really pretty.' Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts right then when Mitsuki pinched his cheek. "You're great Naruto, but right now, I'd prefer to keep our relationship professional, but thanks for offering."
Naruto's face snapped into confusion. "Nani? I don't unders-"
She sighed. "Like I said, just go see her. Beleive me, you'll thank me later."
Naruto nodded and looked at Anko's tent, she poked her head out, when their eyes met she smirked at him and motioned for him to come over to her.
He was afraid, very afraid... in a good way of course...
