It's been weeks since Naruto left the village hidden in the leaves and already he missed it.But ever since a fight with the Akatsuki he felt like everyone was starting to dislike him for some reason.So Naruto decided it was best if he left to be on his own for a while.
After stopping at a nearby inn Naruto lets his bag drop on the floor as relaxed a bit,when he was checking his money to see if he had enough to pay for a room some ninja from the Hidden Mist walk in.
"Why would those guys be here?"Naruto thought to himself while shaking his frog shaped wallet.
"Excuse me,but we need rooms."one of the Mist ninja stood near the reception counter,while another took a sip from a soup cup he had obviously bought along with him.
Of course,we'll have a few rooms ready for you.Please wait over there."the inn keeper gave the men a bright smile before returning to her other duties.
"Hey kid,you're waiting for a room as well?" one of the Hidden Mist ninja with dark brown hair sat down next to Naruto who was still counting his money.
"I'm not a kid,I'm Naruto Uzumaki of the Hidden Leaf village and a ninja."Naruto's answer made the man chuckle as he continued to drink his soup.
"Hahaha!I could tell from that headband you're wearing,are you on a mission or something?"
"Uhh....sure!Yep,I'm on a top secret mission that is too classified for me to reveal any details."Naruto rubbed the back of his head nervously as the man puts his soup cup down.
You're a terrible liar kid,with that amount of gear in your bag there's no way you could be on a mission."the man said while leaning back.
"I guess there's no point in me lying then,I left my village for a while,"Naruto replied.
"What for?"
"I don't know.....I just felt like I needed to be away for a while,me and my friends had a fight in the past so that might have something to do with it I guess.Why are you asking these questions anyway?"Naruto closes his wallent as the man picks up his soup can.
"Maybe there's something I can do to help,you're pretty skilled aren't you?"
"I sure am!I even took on the Akatsuki."Naruto flashed a big grin while the man had a look of surprise on his face.
"Are you serious?If so then that's great news!See we are having trouble in the Mist and our Mizukage ordered us to find someone who can help us from the Leaf village.Since you say you had experience fighting the Akatsuki you can help us out here,the Mizukage will reward you greatly as well.
"Sure I'll be happy to help."Naruto said.
"Great!Since we'll be working together I guess I should tell you our names.My name is Tatzuka and that guy with the bald head is Guri."Tatzuka introduced himself before the inn keeper ringed him and his teammate to let them know their rooms are ready.
"We'll speak more the next day,see you then kid."Tatzuka got up and followed the inn keeper along with his teammate as Naruto starts to get impatient while waiting for his room.
"Hey!I've been here longer so when is my room going to be ready?"Naruto asked.
"I apologize,your room is this way." one of the inn workers shows Naruto to his room as it became night.
The next day Tatzuka,Guri,and Naruto began their trip back to the Hidden Mist.
Meanwhile.....
"(Sighs) I have my hands full dealing with all this paper work and these criminals aren't making things easier."Mei looks at the piles of paper on her desk as she signed each and every one.
"I hope Tatzuka and Guri return with those extra reinforcements soon.They should be back in a few days."Mei signs the last piece of paperwork before taking a small breather.
