Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Hidden Powers ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

I don't own Naruto, but I am thankful that Kishimoto-sama created it!

 

Chapter 1

 

The sound of someone running could be heard all through out the area that they were in. Some people looked around for who was in such a hurry. When they saw who it was though, they either turned their heads or went back to their business while others just glared hatefully at the young boy that was running.

 

Now you may think who are they disregarding? Right? Well that young boy that just ran by them was none other than Uzumaki Naruto, vessel to Kyuubi no Kitsune, a genin under the great copy-nin Hatake Kakashi, and team mates to the great Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura.

 

`Kami-sama is that all they can do is glare at me? Huh, oh well I gotta hurry or I'll be late, well not as late as Kakashi-sensei. Hmm maybe I should just send a clone in to do the work for me?' Contrary to popular belief to most Naruto wasn't as dumb or loud as people thought he was. In fact only a few other people actually knew his true power and smarts. But nobody who didn't know needed to know that.

 

“NARUTO YOU'RE LATE!!!” could be heard through out Konoha.

 

“Gomen… gomen, you see I woke up late and…” Naruto tried to explain to his overly impatient team mate, Sakura.

 

“We don't need your stupid excuse, dobe.” Said the ever stoic Sasuke.

 

“Shut up you bastard!!! No one asked for your opinion.”

 

“How dare you speak to Sasuke-kun like that Naruto! Just because he's better then you doesn't mean you should try and be better than him, because your not! Never have been and never will be, right Sasuke-kun?” asked Sakura.

 

`Geez what a bitch I can't believe the Old Man made me do this crap. And baa-chan is making me keep this stupid position for what?! Oh yeah I have to `watch over and protect him' that prick. I could be training or better yet I could be going on a mission with `them'. Oh great Kakashi-sensei is here…'

 

“YOU'RE LATE!!!” was once again heard through out Konoha.

 

“Ahahaha, well you see I was on my way until I saw a turtle drowning and…” before he was cut off, once again by Naruto and Sakura, while Sasuke just stood there.

 

“LIAR!!!”

 

“Ahahaha… yes… well for today Sakura, Sasuke and myself have a mission to do, and Naruto the Hokage wants to see you now… so lets go, Sakura, Sasuke.”

 

BREAK

 

“Hey baa-chan what do ya want?” asked Naruto.

 

“OI BRAT WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT CALLING ME THAT? But besides that you and your squad have a mission.”

 

Standing at attention Naruto asked “I see, what's the mission, baasan?”

 

“You and your team are to follow Team 7 and make sure they return safely from their mission to Suna and deliver this scroll to the Kazekage, is that clear?” she asked while pulling out a scroll from her desk and handing it over to Naruto.

 

“You're serious? What about my cover, it could be totally blown, did you think about that?!” He all but shouted.

 

“Of course I have but you know Team 7 best and there are no other squads that can do this. Besides if your cover is blown I'll just tell them not to tell anyone.”

 

“Yeah, but how they react to it if they do find out, Kakashi will want answers and Sasuke will… well I don't really want to think about it now… but you get the idea don't you? Me, plus this mission equals bad, very bad.”

 

“Relax you worry too much, but this is a B ranked mission, your squad has been informed and are waiting for you at your apartment now. So good luck and have fun!” Tsunade yelled before pushing Naruto out the door.

 

BREAK

 

“Ok team we are just escorting some people to Suna. Oh and an ANBU team will be coming with us to deliver something to the Kazekage, so we'll just wait here until they are all here.” As Kakashi said this he pulled out his ever handy `Icha Icha Paradise' and started reading.

 

Team 7 didn't have to wait long for the people going to Suna to arrive but they still had to wait for the ANBU to arrive.

 

BREAK

 

When Naruto got to his apartment he changed into his ANBU gear and made sure that he covered his hair with a bandana, so no one could see it. After that he packed all the things he would need for the mission, including his katana that he strapped to his back. When he was finished he walked out the door while putting his fox mask on.

 

“Are you guys ready?” he asked his team before turning around to face them.

 

When he turned they all nodded there heads. “Good, then let's go.” With out a word they all teleported out of the building, reappearing at the north gate that they were to meet Team 7, and the group of people going to Suna.

 

BREAK

 

Waiting, they had been doing that for the past 20 minutes now, and everyone was getting tired of waiting when…

 

POOF three men wearing ANBU masked arrived ready to go.

 

“Sorry we're late Hokage-sama had to talk to one of us about the mission that we are going on.” said one of the ANBU.

 

Before anyone else said anything Kakashi asked “Where is your fourth member?”

 

One of the ANBU's looked at Kakashi weirdly before saying “Eh? He's right here” before stepping away revealing their captain…

 

Annoyed with the fact that he was discovered, Naruto shot a glare at the dolphin masked ANBU. But all he got in reply was a smug smile from the other ANBU's that no one could see but you could feel the smugness off of them.

 

Naruto growled then turned to face the gate and said “Let's go.”

 

Fortunately for Naruto his voice was muffled slightly because of his mask, so Team 7 didn't recognize his voice.

 

With that they all left for Suna.

 

BREAK

 

The first few hours were relatively peaceful with Kakashi reading his book, Sasuke brooding, Sakura fawning over Sasuke, and the group going to Suna talking amongst them selves. The ANBU squad was on look out for anything.

 

That was until Itachi and Kisame showed up. Some how, Akatsuki had found out about Team 7's mission to Suna. They did not know that Naruto wasn't `there' with them on this mission.

 

A few minutes ago

 

BOOM!

 

“Oi where is he? They said he was on a mission to Suna with the rest of them!” yelled Kisame not really thinking.

 

“Quiet Kisame, well this is a surprise how nice to see you again little brother.” Said Itachi “If you don't mind where is your third member?”

 

“Why do you want to know?” asked Naruto, already knowing the answer. While Kakashi pulled up his hitae-ate, revealing the Sharingan.

 

“He has something we want.” Itachi answer curtly, weary of the ANBU that asked.

 

“ITACHI!!!”
