Umiko's POV

"Sakura, point B."

"Sasuke, point C."

"Umiko, point D."

"Naruto, where are you?" Sensei asked into the mic.

"Point A."

"You're slow, Naruto." He said. "The target is moving! After it!" We all moved forwards and hid behind a tree.

"What's your distance?" Sensei asked.

"5 meters. I'm ready to go at anytime." Naruto assured.

"Same here." I said.

"Same." Sasuke said.

"Me too." Sakura said.

"All right." Kakashi sensei said. "Go!"

We all dove out of our hiding spots and towards the cat. "Got it!" Naruto wrapped his arms around it and it started to claw at his face. I reached out and the cat jumped in my arms, snuggling into me and me petting it on the head.

"Does he have a ribbon in its right ear? Is it our target Tora?" Kakashi sensei asked.

"Yeah, it has a ribbon. It's our target." Sasuke spoke.

"Good. Missions to capture the lost pet 'Tora' completed!" Sensei said.

"CAN'T WE HAVE A BETTER MISSION WITH MORE URGE OF A EMERGENCY?!" Naruto yelled so loud that me and Kakashi screamed and probably lost our hearing for about a few hours.

[AT THE HOKAGE OFFICE]

"Oh my sweet Tora-chan! I'm glad you're safe!" The Firelord's wife shrieked, while hugging the poor cat to death. I had to hold back the urge to take the cat and smack her.

"Now, for your next mission," The hokage said. "Pick herbs for a client....babysit a councilor's boy..."

"No!" Naruto yelled. "I don't want anymore of these missions! Give us harder ones!"

I couldn't help but agree. "Yeah! Come on gramps! Give us harder missions instead of these baby ones!"

"You fools!" Iruka sensei yelled who was next to the hokage. "You're still at the bottom and you need to go up by gaining experience from simple missions!"

"B-But! Everyday it's like blah blah mission!" Naruto argued.

I was about to go on but Kakashi sensei punch us both on the back of our heads making us fall forwards.

"Naruto! Umiko!" The hokage started to explain about the rank missions but me and Naruto weren't listening.

"Yesterday was beef ramen, so today will probably be miso ramen." Naruto said.

"I might have pork ramen today since I had miso yesterday." I admitted.

"Listen!" He yelled.

"S-Sorry." Kakashi sensei apologized.

"Jeez, gramps! Everyday you always lecture me! Me and Umiko aren't the pranksters anymore!" I nodded agreeing with him.

"....Alright. I'll give you a C-Rank mission. You will be bodyguards for someone." The hokage decided.

Naruto stood up quickly. "Really? Who?! A feudal lord?! A princess?!"

"Wait Naruto. You can come in." The door opened and the first thing I smelt was sake.

My nose wrinkled. "What?! It's just a bunch of snot nosed kids! And you with that idiotic face, are you sure you're a ninja?!" He yelled in disbelief.

Judging from his voice, he's probably half sober and is old.

Naruto started to laugh. "Which one with the idiotic face is he talking about?" We all lined up and it was Sasuke, Sakura, me, and Naruto.

"I'll kill you!" Naruto yelled as he was held back by Kakashi.

"Naruto! You can't attack the client." He scolded.

"And you! The blind one, are you sure you can protect me?" He looked towards me.

"Yes." I assured.

"Very well. I am Tazuna, a veteran bridge builder, from the land of waves, and I expect you to take me home safely, even if it costs your life." He explained.

"Good. We will meet at the front of the gate in an hour." Sensei said.
