We weeded the vegetable garden, got our mission reward and went to train and dispersed home in the evening. The next day we took the weeding mission again, got the reward for the mission, went to train and went home. The next day we did it again. And so on for two months.
- Heh heh, it's nice to just not think about anything and do such a simple job. No complicated missions, no stress of feeling threatened, no long term days out of the village, just peace of mind. What bliss...
- What the hell is "bliss"?! - I was the first one who couldn't stand it. We've been doing this for TWO MONTHS now!!! Why would we do that? We're Shinobi! Where are the normal missions?! I'm sick of doing this!!!!!!!!!!- no, seriously! First time I tolerated it, because we just became Genin, especially younger than the others, but to do the same thing for TWO FUCKING MONTHS!!!! I think I've already picked all the grass in Konoha. All that's left is the Daimyo's and Hokage's gardens, and that's it!!!
- Calm down, Menma. You're too young for complicated missions. Until you become more experienced, you won't be able to do missions above D level. What's wrong with it? It's not hard and it's enough to live on...
- Sensei, I expected more from the Genin rank and Shinobi missions. When are we going to get at least a C rank mission?! Money isn't my biggest concern. The worst part is that I was hoping for missions to kill bandits, Nukenins and other nasty guys for which I could accumulate a lot of Soul Crystals! Genes are not cheap, though they are cheaper than others, but information, weapons and scrolls are expensive, and I'm not even talking about skills! But I've already spent two months on simple weeding!
- Soon. Patience is one of the best qualities of a shinobi.
- Calm down, Dai-kun. Do you want to practice in the Forest of Death today? - and the smile of an angel.
- Yes, Menma. I'm sure we'll have some interesting missions soon. We just have to wait and practice. - and the smile of the cute bishonen. Why are all Uchiha so handsome?! Or is it just Saki, Itachi and his brother? Never mind. Weeding the garden is weeding the garden.
- Okay, but I'm sick of doing it today, so...Mass Shadow Cloning Technique!" about a hundred clones appeared around me and quickly started pulling out all the weeds.
- Well, now that we're done for the day, I'm going to go file the mission as completed. You can go, I'll take care of it myself.
- Good! -We answered with glee when he left Shunshin. Speaking of this technique. It doesn't work for long and mostly helps you get away. It's a technique for moving quickly from one place to another. You can't use it in battle, as concentration disappears and the opponent can easily attack you. That's why in the anime, this technique was only used to escape. I learnt it when I was still learning academic techniques and didn't use it much. After Shikaku left, we went to train at the training ground. By the way, our team is numbered "Team Number 10". In the two months I've been training with them as a team, I didn't show my full strength, but only the minimum to beat Itachi to the max. The clones were also practising techniques they already had. They couldn't practice their skills, only those that were chakra-based, probably because I used chakra to create them. In addition to that, I pumped and trained the Eyes. Since I was developing both eyes, the development of Sharingan had slowed down, but even so, I still wanted to develop them at the same time. All of this was done without getting caught by the ANBU that was watching me. With his attitude towards his assignment, it was more than easy. After training, I went to the Hokage Mountain. It was a habit I had developed again after I stopped lingering with Saki in the clearing until the evening. Sitting on the head of my father's statue, pondering on my own, when....
- Menma! Run to Naruto right away! Your clone is in a panic! Something's happened! He's asking for help!
- What!?
- Run!!!
- YES!
In his usual invisibility camouflage, he quickly ran towards the shelter. If the clone and Kurama are panicking, something's definitely wrong. Going round all the houses and fences on the orphanage grounds I ran into Naruto's room, where there was this picture....
My clone was fighting with a girl, who seemed to be an orphanage worker, but since she was so dominant over the clone, she was no lower than a Chunin! Timing it right, he went round behind her and forcefully pounded her in the carotid artery. She was knocked out. Then ran over to Naruto and checked on his condition. He seemed fine, she probably hadn't had time to do anything yet. After I reappeared, the clone calmed down and waited while I put up the Soundproof barrier. I don't seem to sense anyone nearby, which means they weren't making enough noise for the Slavers and Shinobi to run over here. Naruto didn't have an ANBU tail, and I'd gotten rid of mine on the way to the Mountain, so there was nothing to worry about.
- What's wrong?
- You're about to find out..." and he scattered. Feeling the chakra returning from the clone, he began to receive his memories as well. It was easier than I thought. This girl, she's new to the orphanage. She got a job and seemed to be working hard. She'd been here for about a month and seemed to be preparing to attack Naruto. Clone hadn't noticed her as a threat, but today, she came to Naruto's house at a different time than usual. The clone waited and when he heard her say, "Finally, how long have I waited for this. You little demonic monster. You are not worthy to live. You bloody demon! I'll avenge your parents!" - Immediately rushed to attack. She didn't expect it and was panicked and fought weaker. Then I came in.
It's clear. Looks like she's one of those who wanted to kill Fox after being orphaned by his attack. Now, she was lying unconscious on the ground. A girl, about fifteen years old. Quite pretty. Pink hair, but it wasn't Sakura, maybe a relative? Whatever. Eyes are the same green, but the size of her upper arms...it's definitely not Sakura!!!! But what to do with her? Kill her? You could, but...she might come in handy. And it's not because of her looks and size four! That's right! It's...I've been thinking about having someone who obeys me in the orphanage for a long time. So we take the body in our arms and activate invisibility on two people, leaving the clone behind. It costs about twice as much to use invisibility on someone else, but my reserve allows it. And I only use Tsuchikage's technique. Killer Step and Phantasm only work on me, so I got out through the window instead of the wall. On the street, we jump over all the obstacles. Quickly running the whole distance to the house, went in and left the body lying on the couch. I opened the Player's Auction myself. The Auction has all sorts of potions. Healing, enchanting, sex change, just about everything! But the potions are very expensive and it's very costly to buy them. There's a love potion, which I want to use. It's very strong, of course. So strong that she'll do my every command without question. For someone who hates me and Naruto so much it's worse than death, but she tried to kill my brother, so my conscience is clear. I spent almost my entire supply on the potion, yeah. But I think it's worth it. Now I'll have my own person at the orphanage who can provide a better life for Naruto. Taking the pink glowing potion bottle, I opened it and inside was a pink heart. Yeah, the special effects were awesome!!! Afterwards, he brought the girl back to consciousness.
- Hey, wake up, come on! - I rubbed her shoulder and said.
- Mhmh, what...? - and immediately looked at her with Sharingan, plunging her into an illusion.
After that, I gave her the potion and she drank it in one gulp. There was no change, and then I remembered that she was still in Genjutsu. Taking it off, I looked at the girl who was slowly regaining consciousness.
- W-what!? Where am I?! I...- after she looked at me, she immediately threw herself into a hug, and I, on instinct, applied Juken to her and knocked her out.
- Ooops...- the girl passed out again and didn't move. After that, I noticed the notification window. After opening it, I read the following...
Reputation with Minami Haruno +20,001
It worked, but oooh....is she really her relative?! Why wasn't she in the anime?! Although, Naruto wasn't killed in the anime, so maybe she died when Fox attacked Konoha? I'll ask her when she wakes up. I don't think she'll kill me after the potion, so I'll put her in the guest room and go to sleep....
***
When I woke up this morning, I felt something soft on my arms. According to the rules of anime, you have to feel it first and then ask what it is, so I did.
- M-soft. What is it? - I didn't get a slap, but a gentle voice of the owner of this softness.
- Good morning, my love. And the most loving eyes stared at me in anticipation.
- Um, Minami?
- Yes, my love?
- Why are you in my bed?
- Because I want to be with my lover when he sleeps.
- Mm, I see. Minami, do you know who I am?
- Sweetheart!
- No, I mean my name. What's my name?
- I-I don't know. Why is she crying?!
- Minami, don't cry.
- Okay, love.
- Mm. Favourite? Okay, I like it. Now, you can get off the bed and stop hugging me while holding me against-- "Fuck! How does this happen?! I've got a girl lying on my bed ready to do anything and she doesn't care that I'm holding her breasts! And I'm asking her to get off the bed. It won't take long for her to degenerate into a real YASP. Although, nothing's working for me yet anyway. So I'm forgiven. But it's a dream come true to enjoy the delights of a girl. I've never even seen one in real life in my previous life! So I don't care about my conscience. She's mine now! Which means we can do anything we put our minds to. Plus, she looks a lot like a bitch who also calls herself Sakura, which ruins the reputation of this beautiful tree, so it's not like I feel sorry for her at all!!!"
- Sweetheart? I'll do anything! Please, do whatever you want!!!-she's a mind reader?! No! That's rubbish! Or-- Okay, stop! I'm off course again! Ahh, a woman's breasts are so soft~ And what a nice figure she has and a very appetising looking ass!
- Minami, you're just beautiful!!! and took my first kiss in this body! And then...
***
After a fun morning, I don't care if I don't work, the fact that I did something like this with a girl...! Ahem. Anyway, after that, I walked with Minami to the Kitchen, sending the clone to meet my team.
- So, Minami...
- Please, love, call me Love!
- Erm, no, I don't want to.
- Sweetheart then!
- Also no, don't bother with those nicknames, you'll just be Mina.
- Okay, love! - and looks at me with universal happiness. I'm being cheeky because there's no way she'll fall out of love with me. She'll only fall out of love with me if she undoes the potion, which only God can do, I've learnt. But if she can do that, she won't fall in love with me anyway because she was treated well during the potion. In terms of how much reputation I've gained, I used to have a reputation of -10,001 with her. So I can talk to her any way I want.
- So, tell me about yourself.
- I'm very much in love, my lover! I will always love, love....
- Without that! Enough about me. Tell me about yourself before you meet me. Only shorter and more informative.
- My name is Minami Haruno. I'm 15 years old and clanless. My parents died a year and a half ago in a Kyuubi attack. I was a Genin on a mission outside the village at the time. After that, I trained for a long time to avenge my parents and became a Chunin. Then I got a job at an orphanage where one of the Kyubey demons lived and wanted to kill him, but then I met LOVE!!!!!
- Okay, I get it. I already know the rest. Then now, the Transfiguration Technique! - and turned into Sakura's father. - You know him?
- He's my uncle. My mum's brother. But he's a big, unemployed drunk, so Mum stopped talking to him a long time ago. When my parents died, he didn't come to their funeral, so he doesn't even know about me. What's that mean? Is it a tradition in this world to name children after their wives?! I can see why. My father said that the Uzumaki gene was expressed and my mother wanted me to inherit her clan's name so I could find other clansmen. And with Naruto, it's clear that they wanted to hide him because Father was the only representative of his clan, so he was clanless. Oh, well. Why bother? Let them name it whatever they want...
- That's fine. Then it's all clear. Now, Minami, do you hate me too?
- No! I love the one I love!!!
- But I'm Demon Fox.
- I don't care, I love the one I love!
- And Naruto?
- I hate him!
- Love him.
- Love who?
- Naruto.
- Good! - Wow, she really seems like she'll do anything I say. But it's for the best.
- Now, go back to the orphanage and work as usual, but pay more attention to Naruto. He's my little brother, you don't want to mess him up, do you?
- No!!!
- Also, don't teach him bad things...and don't teach him dirty things either, just play with him in the morning and take care of him like your child. And lastly, keep our meeting and the fact that we know each other a secret.
- All right, love.
- That's it, you can go now, oh yes, kiss me..." she ran towards me at supersonic speed. Yeah, that feels good.

The next few days were uneventful. Naruto's life became easier. He was growing up to his full potential. Mina got to talk to my clone in the evenings, which made her happy. And I used to visit her sometimes.... With the team we did missions and trained as well. My training continued, and then one day.
- Guys, we were given a C rank mission...
- Finally!!!- I don't know why I was excited about the C rank mission, but after all the D rank missions I had done, which included cleaning old ladies' houses, ditches and all that, the C rank mission seemed like something wonderful!
- Yes, yes Menma, finally. Well, the goal of the mission is to find Nana Neko's Ninneko. Actually, to find out the details of the mission, you have to go to this cat lady...-I didn't listen to the rest of the mission, because I remembered what the mission was...I wanted to give myself a big Facepalm after that!!!! It's Itachi's mission! The one where he befriends that clanless guy! And that clanless guy would then have to die in order for Itachi to awaken his Xenos!!!!! Fuck! I didn't want to interfere with his story!!! So I made a mess of it!!!! He needs a dead friend to awaken his Sharingan, and I don't want to be that friend! What should I do?! Well, we have to do something! Sneak out? How do I do it so that I can be replaced by the clanless one?! There's no way! That would be too suspicious. Then...ah, okay! Fuck that! If anything, I'll make sure Obito doesn't kill that clanless, but me...for Itachi of course. Now, let's try to enjoy the first mission of Rank C!
***
So, we're off to this cat settlement, specifically the sewer or whatever it's called? Basically this cat lady's house. I decided to take it easy and make it quick. I was in a bad mood. We put cat ears and headbands on there. By the way, Saki is awesome at this! I wonder if there are Neko girls or kitsune girls in this world. I'm kind of in the mood for beastmen. But more on that later. After that, we went to the centre of the settlement and started looking for a cat. I remembered from the anime that he was in a warehouse, so after asking where it was located, I quickly found Ninkota. Then I put him to sleep and took him to Grandma Neko. The teammates were of course surprised, but I just said that I found him by accident and caught him. Mission complete, and I went off to think about how to get Itachi to awaken the Sharingan....
***
After that, we started getting more C rank missions, and then suddenly they gave us a B rank caravan escort mission. I don't know what they were carrying, but we were going straight to the Water Country. What can I tell you about it? All I remember is that there was the Bloody Rule of Yagura, who was under Obito's command. And then the feud and the Blood Mist ceased to exist. Zabuza was also from there, but he became a Nukenin long ago and works as a mercenary with Haku. Now, I think the Blood Mist is still going on there and we should stay out of it, but it's a Rank B mission!
For a few days we were walking along peacefully and even boringly, and then we were attacked by bandits. Just a bunch of men with daggers and stuff. They were of Genin's level, and their leader was a weak Chunin. I had been itching for a long time, so I went straight into battle and killed most of them. I did it without paying attention to the surprised Itachi and Saki. Hmm, I think I scared them too much in a fit of anger. Well, the Soul Crystals are level 20. Not bad. Then there were more skirmishes where I accumulated a lot of Crystals, and then OBITO showed up! So this is the mission! Shit! What am I supposed to do?!
- Shinobi of Konoha, you'd better leave the caravan and go. I'd love to, but they're too ignorant of your cheating ways!!!!
- Who are you? Take off your mask and show yourself.
- Whoa, whoa. And if I don't?
- Then we have no choice but to attack. Menma, Itachi, Sarikawa, get ready! Protect the caravan!" and Shikaku started a melee with him, trying to contact his shadow with his. In vain, and Obito was just beating him up, going through his attacks. And I was thinking about how to get out of it here. With Itachi, when everyone was dead and he was unconscious after waking his eyes and Obito saw fit to just leave him alone, it wouldn't work. Then the only way out is to scare him away. But how? Although, there's another option...but would that work?
While I was thinking, Obito had already defeated Shikaku. Sensei had nothing to counter Obito's Eye Technique. Then, we should get started. Looking at Sarikawa and Itachi said.
- Saki, Itachi, stay close to the caravan! I'll try to overpower it, if I can't, run....
- Dai-kun don't...- without finishing her, I quickly ran towards Tobi.
- Fire Element: Big Fireball! - I'm trying to survive Tobi's punch right now. As expected, he instantly passed through the fire and when he reached me, he stabbed me with the scythe attached to the chains. It hurt like a bitch! It all happened in a flash and I didn't have time to react. I fell down and started bleeding...
- Noooo!!!" Saki wailed, and Itachi stood there with his eyes wide open. Obito slowly walked towards them and I saw the eyes of both of them start to change. From the centre, their eyes started to turn red and they started to have one black ring around their pupil and also, their first Tomoe and then the second Tomoe moved away. After that, Obito, as in canon, knocked both of them out and went to the caravan. I'd completely concealed myself by activating Killer Step, which affected not only the volume and precision of my footsteps, but also my very presence. To Obito, I was now like an unconscious man in pain shock who was about to bleed out and die. But I managed to take a medium healing potion, and with my Uzumaki vitality and fast regeneration, I'll definitely survive if I don't get killed, but in that case I always have a plan B or should I say R? Shikaku also gave a stronger potion, trying as much as possible to be unnoticed by Obito. And soon, I really lost consciousness. When I woke up, I saw Shikaku carrying me on his back.
- S-sensei? What happened?
- Menma! You're awake! Thank God! You slept for 13 hours. After that long-haired masked man attacked, we lost. When I woke up, the caravan was completely destroyed and the three of you were unconscious. But you were also bleeding, so I treated and bandaged your wound, but it was too deep and I headed back to the village. Mission failed. But apart from the caravan members, we're all alive. I was very surprised that you stopped bleeding.
- Don't underestimate Uzumaki, sensei.- Heh, right.
- Where are Saki and Itachi?
- They're in the back, being carried by my clones. Even though you've started to regenerate, you shouldn't move much. Don't worry about them. From the looks of it, they've just been knocked out.
- Right. Well, then, I can take a nap.
- Yeah, take a nap.
***
I could have fought Obito to the fullest, and I had a chance to, but that wouldn't have been a good idea, and I didn't want to get caught. After a few hours of travelling, we made a rest stop, where Itachi and Saki woke up. Saki immediately cried and threw herself on top of me and wouldn't let go, holding me with a dead grip. But after a few hours of sobbing, she fell asleep in my lap. Itachi cried too, but not as much as Saki. We discussed our situation for a long time, and after a few days, we returned to Konoha. The next few days went by with the usual missions and soon...the Chunin exam was upon us!!!!
