Chapter 3
*~~*
"Wow, what do you think we'll be doing, Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked as team seven left Hokage tower.
"Hmm, likely a little bit of everything, if we're going to fight in a war. We should read our mission assignments thoroughly before we sleep tonight." The silver-haired jounin seemed to be directing his advice at Naruto, but the chuunin was set on ignoring him.
Sakura and Kakashi turned off at the next corner, while Sasuke and Naruto continued down the road. Though Sasuke was silent, Naruto spoke enough for both of them.
"Damn Kakashi-sensei. Does he think I'm stupid or something? Like I'm not gonna read my assignment! Grr…he pisses me off sometimes!" He kicked a pebble on the path harshly, sending it flying into the night.
"He thinks you're immature, Naruto. You act it."
"Shut up, teme! Just 'cuz I like to play around doesn't mean I'm not a good ninja!"
"I know that, dobe. But they don't go together for him. Just ignore it."
Naruto snorted, disagreeing, and waved Sasuke off as he turned the corner to his apartment. Reaching his door, he twisted the key in the lock and threw the door shut behind him. Angrily he kicked his sandals at the door and threw his assignment folder on the table.
"Fuck the stupid assignment, I'm hungry," he growled, throwing his jacket over the back of his sofa and walking to the kitchen.
As he sat down to eat a bowl of instant ramen, Naruto tried to forget what Kakashi had said to him. The jounin was often rough on him, and it normally didn't phase him like this. "Tch, getting touchy. I'm hanging around Sasuke-teme too much," he mumbled to himself around a mouthful of noodles.
Tossing his empty ramen cup into the trash, Naruto stretched and flopped down onto his worn sofa. He pulled the folder onto his lap and opened it to read its contents. Surprisingly, the folder held only three documents.
The first document detailed their mission. The mission, as Tsunade had said, was to protect an important official (name unknown), and to fight as special ops in the client's war afterwards.
The second document listed the ninja assigned to the mission. Since he already knew who would be there, Naruto gave the document a quick scan and set it aside.
The third document listed their destination and employer.
Naruto dropped the paper in shock. He had to be reading it wrong. Pinching himself, he reread it, before shaking his head and placing it, along with the other papers, back into the folder.
He hadn't been reading it wrong.
Sighing, he rose and walked into his room. /It's been a long time since I've been there./ Kneeling down, Naruto popped a concealed drawer on his dresser and pulled out a hidden set of clothes. Folding the secret uniform, he set it in the bottom of his backpack, under several sets of his usual clothing. As a last touch, he prepared his weapons, either laying them next to his pack or readying them inside it.
Thoughts swirling in his head, Naruto took a quick shower before collapsing on his bed. Tomorrow.
