Jiriaya had been away for a few weeks. Nero had realized being the son of the spy Master was going to be rough. His only saving grace was Naruto kept an eye on him. It had been 1 year since Jiriaya adopted Nero. Naruto was standing in the training field of his father and mothers house. "Alright Nero. You have mastered, the substitution Jutsu and the transformation jutsu. I know you are having problem with the clone jutsu and the reason is because of your huge reserves," said Naruto.

"What do you mean Aniki?" asked Nero.

"For the clone jutsu you need decent chakra control," said Naruto. "I guess I will teach you how to climb trees."

Nero looked confused. "I know how to do that."

"Without your hand," said Naruto. He walks up the nearest tree. "Put chakra in your feet and just walk.'

"Sounds easy enough.'

Nero runs up but is blast back. "Too much chakra will send you flying," said Naruto with a chuckle. "Try again."

Nero runs up again getting slightly further a little bit lower then half way. Naruto watches as Nero gets slightly farther up. "Take a quick break for lunch," said Naruto. "Let's get ramen."

The two head to the village. The whispers about the two where not subtle. "How can Namikaze-sama stand that kid?" said a person.

"Does he know what that thing did to his father?"

Naruto looked at the populace with a glares. "Let's go," said Naruto. "We don't have to listen to them."

The two were at the Ramen shop. Naruto and Nero were enjoying their food, when an Anbu appeared. "Namikaze-sama, you are requested for a mission."

"Nero, head back to the house after you finish. I have to see what the mission is," said Naruto. The blond disappears.

Naruto was in the Hokage's office. He looks around and sees a brown haired female with red marks on her cheeks. Next to her was a man with a bandana and a Senbon in his mouth. He wore a standard Jounin jacket. "Naruto," said the Hokage. "This is your new team.'

"Hokage-sama," said Naruto. "Doesn't a team have four members?'

A man with a bandage on his nose appears. "Sorry I am late," said the young man.

"Kotetsu," said the female. "You're late."

"Sorry Hana-chan," said the young man. "I just by to gather my weapons."

"Introduce yourself!" ordered the Hokage.

"Genma," said the young jounin.

"I am Hana Inuzuka," said the female. Naruto looked at her and blushed.

"I am Naruto Namikaze," said the blond genin.

"Kotetsu," said the last young man.

"Good," said Sarutobi. "Now your mission is to eliminate some bandits near the border of Land of Rice and Land of Fire."

"Hokage-sama," the three other member announced.

Naruto looked at the Hokage. "Rank Hokage-sama and who is the cient?'

"C rank, client is a merchant," said the Hokage. "He wants you to eliminate the bandits so he can do business."

"Hai," said Naruto.

The team quickly disappeared. "Everyone have their tool?" asked Genma.

"I have some storage scroll, around five hundred kunai in it and five hundred Shuriken," said Naruto. "I need to tell you three something."

"It will have to wait," said Genma. "We move out immediately."

Naruto bit the inside of his lip. "Damnit," he thought. The small group finds the bandit camp. "I don't like this."

"Why?" asked Genma.

"Me and Jiriaya-sensei traveled near here and we heard some unpleasant things," said Naruto. "People went missing. Strange monsters, be on your guard."

The ninja launch their attack. The bandits mobilize quick. "Shit it was a trap," Genma shouted realization dawned on him.

The bandits smirk. "We knew you were coming," said the leader. "I owe the snake a thousand ryo."

Naruto eyes widen. "We have to retreat."

"We are winning," said Hana as she tore through another bandit.

Naruto slammed a Rasengan into a group increasing its size at the last minuite killing the bandits. "We were led into a trap," said Naruto. "Why."

Naruto stabs a bandit in the chest with a kunai. "Naruto-kun," said slithery voice.

"Where is that voice," asked Hana. She is kicked back by a foot. She lands into a tree and goes right through it.

"Hana-chan," said Kotetsu. He finds a kunai in his chest in a non vital area

"Don't move ninja," said a voice. "Our leader wants to test out the Namikaze heir."

A fog descends on the battle field. Naruto goes through hand seal and blows it away with a guest of wind. He sees a pale skinned man with snake eyes. "Shit.'

Genma's eye the newcomer body shaking. "No way, Orochimaru.'

"Two down two to kill," said the man.

"Genma-sensei," said Naruto. "We have to take him together."

"Right."

Naruto takes a three pronged kunai. "I don't have the skill to use this, but we have no choice."

Genma spits out his Senbon at the Sannin. "Striking Shadows Snake hands," said Orochimaru. He neck extend and goes to bit Genma.

A yellow flash appears. "Rasengan," right in the Sannin's face.

The neck snaps backwards. "Not bad Naruto-kun," said Orochimaru as another Orochimaru appears out of the mouth. "Jiriaya taught you well."

Naruto goes through hand seal. "Summoning Jutsu.'

A small male toad appear on Naruto shoulder. "Pa, I need a little bit of Natural Chakra."

"Who are you facing to require that," said the old toad.

"Orochimaru,' said Naruto. "I know I can't handle too much just a little to get us out of this."

"Sage mode?" question Orochimaru. "Not completely.'

"Sage art," said Naruto. "Great Breakthrough."

The wind becomes a giant tornado. The snake ninja is blown back. He slams into a tree. "Not bad, Naruto-kun," said Orochimaru. He dodges a punch courtesy of Genma. Orochimaru then catches a kick and tosses Genma a few feet.

Genma does a flip in the air and land gracefully on his feet. "You're under arrest."

"Oh, a jounin and a genin think they can take me?" asked Orochimaru. "Cute.'

Orochimaru dodges a punch launched by Naruto but is thrown back. Naruto reappears in a body flicker and slams a Rasengan in the Sannin body. "We have a flee."

"What?" asked Genma.

"Get the other two and retreat sensei," said Naruto. "I will cover you and join up later."

"No chance in hell!" said Genma.

Orochimaru smirks. "As fun as I have had. It is time to end it.'

Come on then," said Genma.

So eager to die," said Orochimaru "However I will let you all go for now."

The Sannin disappears in the floor.

Naruto collapses on his knee. "Naruto-chan," said the toad. "Get up.'

"I am ok, just need to recover some chakra," said the blond. He takes out a chakra pill and eats it. "How are the others?'

"They'll live," said Genma."We have to get back to Konoha and get them medical attention."

Nero was in class. He was listening to his teach talk about the third Ninja world war. Am Anbu appeared. "Umino-san, Uzumaki-san needs to head to the Hokage's office," said the Anbu.

"Nero, please head out with the Anbu," said a brown haired chunin with a scar on his nose.

Nero was in front of the Hokage. "You wanted to see me?" asked Nero.

"Yes your brother has returned from a mission," said the Hokage. "I thought I would let you know.'

"Is he alright?" asked Nero.

"He is the squad Jounin are fine. His other two team member are in the Konoha hospital," said Sarutobi. "I will take you to Naruto."

The two head down the street of Konoha. Getting to the hospital. Nero see the blond hair. "Aniki."

Naruto looks down then the door to the ER. Next to him was Genma. "It's not your fault, Naruto-san."

"I should have reacted faster," said Naruto.

"If anyone is to blame it should me as the squad leader," said Genma. "All of us are alive thanks to you Naruto."

"Well said," said Sarutobi.

"Hokage-sama," said Genma.

"I want a report in a few hours from both of you," said Sarutobi. "I can already guess the client lied about the mission."

"Nero, after my meeting with the Hokage, let gets some training done," said Naruto. "Genma-sensei, would you mind helping us?"

"Not a problem," said the jounin.

"Office one hour,' said Sarutobi. He disappears in a shunshin.

Later the two ninjas where in the office. "We took out the bandit, but then we were attacked by Orochimaru of the Sannin," said Genma. "I was helpless, Naruto faced him."

"How did Naruto face down Orochimaru?" asked Sarutobi.

"I used a little bit of natural chakra to enter a weaker version of sage mode,' said Naruto. "Unfortunately, I was not full master of it and it took a lot of effort to use it. In the end I forced him to retreat."

"Forced or did Orochimaru feel like leaving?"

"He was toying with me, Hokage-sama," said Naruto. "He had the power to take us out. He showed us mercy in a twist of the word. Or he was testing me."

Sarutobi cocked an eyebrow. "I see either way good job for keep your teammates alive."

"Thanks you Hokage-sama," said Naruto.

"One more thing, your battle with Orochimaru proved that you're ready for chunin rank," said Sarutobi. He hand Naruto a chunin flak jacket.

"Thanks Hokage-sama."

"I believe you two have a little student to train," said Sarutobi.

"Thank you."
