Akari POV

I hate cats. You know why? Because they are mean, they don't die soon enough, and they won't give up without a fight.

Team 7 and I are trying to find the cat version of Satan, who of which, I forgot its name. I don't really care anyway.

I mean, this cat is still alive in Boruto! What does that woman feed that... THING?!

Third POV

"Sakura, point B."

"Sasuke, point C."

"NARUTO, POINT A! BELIEVE IT!!"

Sakura sighed through the earpiece, "NARUTO! Too loud and too late!" She paused, "Hey, wait, where's Akari!"

Everybody waited a few seconds before hearing a hiss and a scream. They went over to see the cat was being held up by Akari, who was on the ground, the cat scratching at her face intensely.

Everybody sweatdropped.

"WHAT ARE YOU FUDGE KNUCKLES DOING?! HELP ME," she screamed at them.

"You were supposed to wait for orders to capture it, Akari," Kakashi scolded.

"H-hey! THIS FREAKING THING ATTACKED ME! I was about to respond to you but that thing just sprang at me like I was food," she explained hastily, hoping someone would get the spawn of Satan off of her. No avail.

"Sorry. I didn't know that," Kakashi said, although not sounding sorry.

Naruto walked up to her and grabbed the cat upside down, and she watched the mini devil scratch up her friend. Welp, no more Naruto, she thought.

Feeling better that the little paws of fury were not in her face, which had healed with too much anime logic, she headed back to the Hokages office with the rest of her team.

When they got to their destination, the Hokage already had a mission planned.

"Your missions will be gardening, babysitting and-," The Hokage started, but was rudely cut off by Naruto making an X sign with his hands.

"But I don't wanna do any sissy missions! I wanna get strong so I can become Hokage! Believe it," he said, ending with his famous American catchphrase.

The Hokage started to explain the rules of being a ninja and the ranks while Naruto had the others hearing ramen interests.

Just as Iruka was about to yell at them, I held up a finger and winked at the Hokage and Iruka, making them look at me weirdly.

I turned to them, each of my hands on my hips and said, "Right guys? That information could save the mission," I finished teasing.

The looks on their faces said "Oh shit." They started to freak out and asking each other what the Hokage said, and Kakashi was sweating badly.

The Hokage started chuckling. I was rolling on the floor.

"Y-you should have s-seen the looks o-on your guys' faces!!! IT W-WAS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER," I sniggered very loudly, making team seven glare at me. Im lucky looks can't kill, she thought.

"Okay, Team 7. I will be assigning you a C ranked mission upon Narutos request. You will be guarding someone," the Hokage explained wisely.

"Who is it," Naruto began to ask, "is it a princess, a feudal lord?!" At the end of Narutos speech, the smell of alcohol made Akari scrunch up her nose, making Sasuke, who was watching her, question why she did it. He couldn't smell anything.

"You may enter," the Hokage called.

Akari scrunched up her nose more as she smelled him on the other side of the door. When the bridge builder walked in, holding a cheap bottle of sake, Sasuke quickly realized that Akari has been smelling him. He noted that she had a strong sense of

smell.

"I expect these brats to protect me," he grunted, "I'm mostly worried about the short one with the idiotic look on their face," he finished, making them all line up. First was Sasuke, the Sakura, then... wait, NARUTO?! That meant that Akari was the shortest.

She walked up to him with a sweet smile, with Kakashi seeing no harm could be done, he regretted it, seeing her eyes turn red. She snatched the bottle of Sake and threw it against the wall, smashing it to pieces. Then, she dusted off her hands, bumping into Tazuna purposely and walking out.

Wow, everybody thought at the same time.

"I am the mighty bridge builder," he declared, as if nothing had just happened, "You are to protect me with your lives." Akari rolled her eyes.

They could see him tense, even in his drunken state, he was sweating badly and his iris's are small. Those were just a few of the symptoms of... stress.

Time Skip

They were just leaving the village and Naruto had a little skip in his step with a smile on his face.

"What are you so happy about, Naruto," Kakashi asked.

"This is first time leaving the village in my entire life! This is so cool," he replied happily

After a little while, if failed attempts to ask someone on a date and walking, Akari saw the puddle.

She came up with around 20 possibilities of how she could do this and came up with an ABSOLUTELY brilliant one.

"A PUDDLE, A PUDDLE, A PUDDLE," she exclaimed childishly, jumping in the puddle each time she said it.

This brat is gonna protect me, Tazuna thought, making a "WTF" face. Everyone else just sweatdropped.

She ran back up to them smiling carelessly, and after about thirty seconds, they emerged.

Time for my strategy... to begin.
