[Next Day]
Naruto woke up late, he rubbed his eyes.
"Oh, I'm late, my pupils must have been waiting for me." Naruto said to himself nonchalantly, as he lazily yawned and scratched his chin.
Naruto lazily stood up from his bed and saw Sayuri laying sleeping where he slept, her body without a blanket on them, her body tucked in a fetal position as her face like a doll, sleeping with soft breaths escaped her slightly parted lips.
Naruto ignored her and headed to the hall and started to do push-ups, to warm-up his body.
After working up a sweat, he went to the bathroom for a refreshing shower, washing away the perspiration. Stepping out, he dried himself with a towel and glanced at his reflection in the mirror.
After showering he took a towel and dried his body with it, and then looked at himself in the mirror.
His face had become more masculine than before, and his body bore several small scars, likely from encounters with swords or kunai. His eyes held a cold intensity.
He used his finger to lift up the corner of his mouth to force a smile, before it broke, chuckling to himself, he ignored his actions and went outside to the wardrobe and took a new pair of freshly cleaned jonin outfit all in black.
Once dressed, Naruto left his apartment, walking leisurely as he breathed in the fresh air. The bright, peaceful sun bathed the village in warmth.
'I like it here.' A thought crossed his mind, which he never expected, his urges to cause chaos and destruction, sometimes battled his desire for peace.
It was complicated, Only a man spills blood while desiring for peace.
Naruto walked while sometime stopped by some eager girls, asking him to accept gifts while some young ninja's and some chunins asking for advice, though younger than them, his achievements were more than enough for others to take him seriously.
Naruto reached the training ground and saw his pupils glaring at him, while Sasuke was grabbing her head in frustration, Sakura had her hands on her hips as she glared at him, while Hinata sighed as she spoke in a meek voice.
"W-where were you sensei?" Hinata said as she stuttered cutely.
Naruto looked at them before he ignored them and rubbed their heads and continued on, without saying anything.
"HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" Sakura screamed as though stunned by him patting her head, recovered quickly unlike Sasuke and Hinata who were still in a daze.
"To do missions, aren't you coming?" Naruto said as he waved his hand to them washout turning, before all of them ran towards him.
"Hey, you still didn't say anything about why were you so late!" Sasuke said as she looked at him from the side.
"I was busy." Naruto said as she scoffed.
"You always say that, i hate that word." Sasuke said as she pouted, her cheeks puffed.
"Haha, you look cute when you do that, pupil of mine." Naruto said as he grabbed her cheek, pinching them a little.
"Hey, stop that." Sasuke said as her face turned red, her face twitched at the pupil, remark.
Naruto teased and chuckled when he got a reaction out from her.
While Sakura and Hinata looked from the side in shock, never seeing Sasuke so venerable, like a girl in love.
'But Sasuke is a Boy, right?' Sakura and Hinata, had the same thought cross their minds.
The squad walked to the Hokage office and looked at one of the mission, on the mission board, and Naruto picked a C-rank mission from it.
"Huh? S-sensei, why are you picking a C-Rank m-mission, don't we have to do D-rank missions first?" Hinata asked as she asked Naruto.
Naruto who was looking for a specific C-rank mission, turned to look at her.
"Well, Hinata, you are not in a normal team, I am your sensei, and because of me you will all become elites, a force to reckon with, and doing D-rank missions are nothing but a waste of time, keep in mind ...we are not normal." Naruto said as the squad listened while he turned back to the paper.
---
"This one." Naruto said as he went to the counter.
"Yes, Naruto-sama." The secretary said as she showed respect in her eyes, as she smiled at him.
While Sasuke seeing this, frowned, clearly displeased.
Naruto was popular in these parts, his achievements made others a fan of him, while to someone, it seemed she had to endure these kinds of things.
Naruto took the poster, and waited for the client, it was a mission for escorting someone to the specific place.
They waited until the client appeared all drunk while the smell of booze was all over him.
"What are foooour little brat, are gonna do? Huh, I need someone more, someone stronger, not some brats." He said as the moment he saw them he frowned.
"It's only a escort mission, Old man, nothing more, or is it something even more." Naruto said as he gave him a cold smile, which made the man shudder, it almost left the old man feel like his secret was out.
"If not, lets go, I don't want to delay the mission much, since my pupils are eager to do a mission." Naruto said as he walked while the squad followed behind.
The Old Man clicked his tongue as he followed behind.
When they reached the gate, Naruto abruptly stopped.
"Sakura, Hinata, Sasuke, if you are forgetting something, go get it, if not the mission will start and there is no turning back." Naruto said as he for any response.
"Then let's go."
