Silence

13. The Puddle Of Doom.

Shizukana's P.O.V

"Team 7, whats your position?" Kakashi Sensei asked through the microphone.

"Sasuke, position 2."

"Shizukana, position 1."

There was silence......... "Naruto, position 3"

I shook my head as Kakashi Sensei scolded Naruto for being late.

I narrowed my eyes as the target moved. "Target heading to Sasuke. 5m." I spoke softly into the headset.

"Alright team, capture." Sensei commanded.

I jumped from my position on the tree and approached the target with ease until a huge orange blob jumped between me and the target and seized the target.

A few seconds later, Kakashi Sensei's voice was heard through the ear piece. "Is that the target?"

Sasuke approached Naruto and looked at the ribbon on the cat. Yes a cat. "Affirmative." The Uchiha spoke.

Kakashi Sensei jumped down from a tree and said. "Well, mission accomplish."

Naruto started insulting the cat which made it scratch his face. I took the cat from Naruto and petted the feline.

We went into the Hokage's office to find the Daiymo's wife and Iruka Sensei talking with the Hokage.

Kakashi Sensei knocked on the door and we entered.

The lady immediately ran towards me since I was holding her cat.

The lady grabbed Tora and started rubbing her face with the poor cats cheeks.

The lady thanked us went on her merry way.

I eyed the Hokage. We didn't end our conversation in good terms.

He looked at me before addressing the everyone. "Congratulations teams 7 on capturing Tora. You next mission includes baby sitting the head council's son, painting the walls of the bakery....."

He got cut of by a screaming Naruto. "Those aren't missions. They're chores. Come on, give us a real mission."

Kakashi Sensei punched him in the head. "Put a lid on it."

"Naruto, you are still at the lowest level a ninja can get. You need to train and improve to get better missions." Iruka Sensei scolded the blond haired boy.

"As you know the missions are ranked accordingly...." The Homage droned on and on about the different types of missions and responsibilities a ninja has. No one was listening to him. Naruto chirped about which ramen he ate last night and what ramen is the best

"Silence." The Hokage's voice boomed attracting everyone's attention.

"My apologies." Kakashi Sensei apologized.
"Come on old man." Naruto whined.

I raised my eyebrow. Old man?

"I'm not some brat who complains about stuff anymore. I'm a Ninja." Naruto exclaimed.

Sensei groaned next to me. I gave him a look to which he just gave me a close eyed smile.

"Alright." The Hokage said.

Iruka Sensei looked at the Hokage as if he saw how erupted from the Hokage's head.

"Naruto wants to prove that he is no longer a brat. So, there is a C ranked mission. You must escort a client to the Land in the Waves." The Hokage explained.

Naruto cheered. "Who are we escorting? A princess? Ooh is it some great Lord?" Naruto asked bouncing up and down.

"Hold on. The client will be here in a moment." The Hokage chuckled.
