Chapter 40 - A Request of Help [1] (2/2)

'Are you calling me dumb, brat?' Kurama shouted inside his mind but quickly, Naruto ignored the Fox, that kept mumbling things like 'I'll take that and release it as attacks in that raccoon one day...'

Looking towards the sky, Naruto thought 'These days have been boring, only doing C-Rank and B-Rank missions, ah... I wish there had an A-Rank mission just ready for me to do, the last one was boring, I barely fought against Zabuza and Haku, the bandaged creep could've blocked my blade, probably? Well, the Ice boy is doing good, with the records through history about his Yuki Clan, he was able to recreate some of their Jutsu already...'

Naruto then started walking through the streets while thinking about the progress he made in the past month 'The Kage Bunshins sure are a convenient thing, it helps a lot to speed up the progress, I was able to integrate Fuuton (Wind Release) and Katon (Fire Release) into the Rasengan, making a Katon: Rasengan and Fuuton: Rasenshuriken, I didn't think of a name to the Fire one, though...'

'And it also feels that there's something lacking to my Rasenshuriken, I can't throw it and if I use it without throwing, it'll damage my hands, it's still incomplete...' Just as Naruto was thinking of solutions, someone interrupted him.

Sakura was waving at him from afar while shouting ''Naruto, did you see Sasuke-kun? Anyway, do you want to eat some Ramen? Don't worry, I won't tell Kakashi-sensei about it!''

Instantly, Naruto's nodded, to him, Ramen was one of the most precious things for him ''Yeah, you know how to bribe me, eh? So, what do you want for the Ramen?'' he asked with an amused tone.

''I don't want anything, I just want you to help me with some Suiton (Water Release) Ninjutsu, you're good at Fuuton, Suiton and Raiton, it wouldn't be much to help me, right? Principally since you like Ramen so much!'' Sakura said with a smile because she knew that Naruto wouldn't ever deny it, with the excuse of helping her with training, the blonde teenager would be able to eat Ramen without being detected.

'Heh, I know how to exploit things, principally Kakashi-sensei, he's always late, cha!' The familiar imaginary image of Sakura appeared beside her as she punched nothingness.

Just as they were going towards the Ichiraku Ramen, an ANBU appeared in front of them and Naruto could immediately recognize him, it was Itachi Uchiha, more commonly known as Sasuke's older brother ''Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, the Hokage awaits for you inside his office, an important mission was requested, Haku Yuki, Sasuke Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake are already there with the other Team.'' Itachi said before disappearing.

''I wonder what kind of mission would need our Team and another to do together and why they would ask a Team made of Genins to take an important mission!'' Sakura said while furrowing her brows and narrowing her light green-colored eyes.

''We're a Team made of Genins that can easily take B-Rank missions and completing A-Rank ones, the other Team is expected of being able to do the same...'' Naruto said before using flickering away, Sakura following him, her figure also flickering, despite much slower.
