Chapter One: A New Mission, A Run Away.
"Come on, Kakashi Sensei," Naruto shouted to the air, then he turned to his two teammates and asked, "Where the hell it that perverted Sensei?"
"How should we know?" Sakura snapped at him, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I don't know, you're the smart one," Naruto pointed out.
"It doesn't mean I know where the hell Kakashi Sensei is!" Sakura shouted.
"I'm right here," A voice informed the three teammates.
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke all looked towards the voice and saw their Sensei Kakashi standing there, smiling, and waving at them.
"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura, and Naruto shouted in unison.
"Sorry," Kakashi apologized, chuckling slightly, "I got lost."
"Yeah, sure you did," Naruto said, sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
"Well, how about we go and get our next mission, huh?" Kakashi proposed.
"Oh, yeah!" Naruto exclaimed, excitedly, "A new mission! Alright, let's go!"
Naruto took the lead towards the Hokage's office at full speed, Sasuke, and Sakura, sighed; Kakashi just smirked at the predictable attitude of his student.
"Come on you, guys!" Naruto called back from the end of the street.
Sakura rolled her eyes, and called back to him, "We're coming!"
With that, Naruto turned back around and continued running to the Hokage's office; the rest of Team Seven followed, at a slightly slower rate.
Ten minutes later, Team Seven stood in the Hokage's office waiting for their new mission.
"Let's see, Team Seven," The Third Hokage mumbled as he looked over the mission scrolls before him.
C-rank or higher, c-rank or higher, come on c-rank or higher, Naruto prayed silently. Which was new for him, but Sakura had begged him to stop it, because it was annoying her so much. So, Naruto had bit his lip for the last five times they had gone for missions, and their group paid the price. They had not gotten one mission above d-rank, and it was really starting to get to Naruto. Sure, he wanted to keep Sakura happy so that maybe she'd got out with him sometime…somehow, but this was a bit more than Naruto could handle.
Naruto bit down so hard on his bottom lip, that he soon could taste blood seeping into his mouth. Naruto winced as he still, bit down harder on to his lip, daring himself not to burst out and yelled at the Hokage to give them a proper mission. Naruto stood, stiff as a statue, staring at the Hokage, tapping his foot anxiously.
"Here, how about this one," The Hokage said, picking up the d-rank scroll; Naruto bit down hard on his lip so that now, not only did he have to restrain from bursting out in anger, he had to restrain from bursting out in extreme pain as well.
"Um, Lord Hokage, sir?" Iruka, who had been sitting next to the Hokage said.
"Yes? What is it, Iruka?" The Hokage asked, looking towards the chunin ninja.
"What about that c-rank mission, finding…the…girl," Iruka said, casting a sidelong glance at the four who stood before the Hokage.
"I don't know Iruka, that's a fairly important mission, although the girl's young she still needs to be found quickly." The Hokage said to Iruka.
"Exactly," Iruka told the Hokage, "I hope I'm not talking out of place, but no other group has excepted the mission, and the longer we wait, the higher chance that we find he hurt of killed, or worse," Iruka then added in an undertone, "and, I know Sakura will want to take this mission."
The Hokage thought over Iruka's words, then placed the d-rank scroll down, and picked up the c-rank one, "Alright, Team Seven, I'm assigning you to a c-rank mission."
"YAHOOOOOOO!" Naruto shouted, unable to contain his excitement, blood flew off his bottom lip and splattered the floor with bright red dots.
"Naruto! Your lip!" Sakura exclaimed, looking from the blood on the floor to Naruto's mouth.
Naruto slapped a hand to his mouth as more blood trickled down from it, "Damn."
"Here, Naruto," Sakura said, walking over to Naruto, she pulled away his hand, and touched hers to his bottom lip, she closed her eyes and focused her chakara to the hand against Naruto's lip. She had learnt basic healing techniques.
Naruto blushed a deep red, as Sakura focused her chakara on healing his bloody lip.
"There, all better," Sakura said, withdrawing her hand from Naruto's, now, completely healed lip; Naruto's face fell at the sudden absence of Sakura's warm touch on his mouth.
Damn, she felt really good, Naruto thought to himself, as he sighed out loud.
"So, what was that mission you were talking about, Grand Hokage?" Sakura asked, looking towards the Hokage.
"Um, well, there is a run away," The Hokage explained, "I thought Team Seven could try and find this certian person."
"A run away?" Sakura repeated, "Who would run away from Konoha?"
"Ino Yamanaka."
