Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

"Alright, but I don't want to teach you anymore. I'll give you the ninjutsu materials another day, and you can learn them yourself. But for now, come with me to the mission hall and accept a mission."

.........

Mission Lobby.

The Third Hokage, cigarette dangling from his lips, issued a mission. Seeing the four members of Team 7 arrive, he chuckled and said, "Kakashi, are you here to accept a mission?"

Kakashi nodded and said, "Yes, Hokage-sama, they've been training for over a month, it's time for them to leave the village and train some more."

Young birds always have to leave the nest; they can't stay hidden in the nest forever.

"Leaving the village?"

Iruka popped up, looking worried, and said, "Isn't this too fast? They just graduated not long ago, and they're still weak. What if something unexpected happens?"

Kakashi glanced at the three students and said strangely, "Them? Weak? Don't you know their strength?"

Excluding Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke simply can't be associated with being weak.

Iruka scratched his cheek, puzzled. "The story about Kakashi-sensei being beaten up by Naruto and the others and ending up in the hospital... isn't that just a rumor?"

"..."

Should I admit it?

Finally, Naruto helped Kakashi admit it, thus proving his strength and that it was safe for him to train outside the village.

However, Iruka was even more worried, looking at Kakashi who seemed hesitant to speak, "Isn't this a bit too much...?"

Kakashi rolled his eyes, ignored Iruka, and went straight to the Third Hokage to ask for a mission.

"Perfect timing, I have a C-rank mission here that should suit you."

The Third Hokage smiled and took out a scroll. "Protecting an ordinary person back home is no danger, Iruka, you can rest assured."

Iruka said apologetically, "I'm sorry you had to see this, Hokage-sama."

.........

So this is it...

Upon arriving at the gates of Konoha, Team 7 met the person who had entrusted them with this mission.

As Naruto expected, it was a drunken, white-bearded old man carrying a bottle of liquor and a bag.

The Land of Waves, Zabuza, Haku, Gato... Naruto already knows what's going to happen next. It's not very challenging, but it's still quite fun to play around with.

By the way... is Bai a boy or a girl?

It is said to be male, and sometimes female, so... is it a dual nature of male and female?

Naruto fell into thought.

A voice of dissatisfaction rang out.

"Why are they all kids...? Are you really capable of protecting me?"

Dazner looked at the four members of Class 7 with a questioning expression.

Three little devils and a listless, white-haired salted fish—together they didn't look like they could fight.

Tazna shouted, "No, we have to find someone else! I'm a renowned bridge-building expert; you need to send at least a Jonin..."

Otherwise, if we encounter the enemy, we'll all be in trouble.

Jonin?

Isn't that perfect?

Sakura instinctively looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi cleared his throat, preparing to reveal his esteemed Jonin status.

Naruto feigned confusion, asking, "Why send a Jonin? It's just a regular C-rank mission, are we going to encounter enemies?"

Dazna said guiltily, "Well... there shouldn't be any enemies... but just in case, it's safer to have a Jonin around."

Kakashi's eyes gleamed with a strange light: "I am a Jonin, Mr. Tatsuna, please rest assured, there won't be any problems."

Jonin... there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Dazner visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

.........

They left Konoha Village.

On the way, Sasuke quietly approached Naruto and whispered, "There's something wrong with the person who commissioned you."

Naruto calmly replied, "Isn't that obvious?"

Sasuke's eyes widened slightly. "It's obvious? You noticed it too?"

He thought he was the one who discovered it first this time.

Naruto was speechless. "Why do you think I didn't notice?"

Yeah, why...? Probably because he's gone crazy wanting to beat Naruto once.

Sasuke's expression turned somewhat grim. "Kakashi-sensei found out too?"

"Of course, although Kakashi-sensei is a bit weak, he is still a Jonin. Don't underestimate a Jonin's observation skills."

Kakashi, walking ahead of the two: "..."

Don't speak ill of me, I can hear you. Also, I'm not a liar!

"Then why didn't he expose him?"

What do you think?

"Strength... his own strength, your strength, and my strength, the three of us are enough to handle any unexpected situation."

Sasuke ignored Sakura without a second thought.

"What are you talking about?"

Can I join?

Sasuke pushed Sakura's face away with disgust. "Can't you be normal?"

She's been pestering me like a lovesick woman, it's driving me crazy.

Just as Sakura was feeling dejected, a sudden change occurred!

Two strangely shaped Mist Ninjas suddenly emerged from the puddles in front of them, wielding sharp iron chains that bound Kakashi's body.

"W-What's going on?!"

Sakura was stunned and didn't react at all.

Bang!

Kakashi split apart before he could leave any last words.

"Kakashi-sensei is dead again?!"

Sakura cried out in alarm, "Huh... why did I say 'again'?"

"Kakashi-sensei, you died such a terrible death..."

Naruto stretched out his hand weakly, his expression filled with grief, and he almost laughed out loud.

"Could it be... Naruto was right, he really is a fake Jonin?"

Sasuke, whose opinion of Kakashi had changed considerably, frowned, activated his Sharingan, and looked around. He quickly spotted Kakashi hiding in a nearby tree.

So that's how it is...

"Hmm? Sharingan? What a pleasant surprise. Let's take him down first..."

The two Mist Ninja, who originally intended to kill Tazuna to complete their mission, immediately changed their target and rushed towards Sasuke.

Sasuke scoffed, "You're asking for death!"

Trying to steal the Sharingan is a death wish.

Sasuke used his Lightning Release to stimulate his leg muscles. With a flash of lightning, he disappeared from the spot and used the Chidori he had just mastered to pierce through one of the Mist Ninja.

another……

"Kakashi-sensei, you can rest in peace now. I've avenged you."

Naruto waved his hand and unleashed a wind blade, spraying blood as another Mist Ninja's head flew into the air.

"Thank you, but I still have things to finish and don't want to go down yet."

Kakashi, looking at Sasuke's changed Sharingan from the tree beside him, was slightly taken aback. "It's become a three-tomoe Sharingan."

Was it because it was his first time killing someone?

"Three tomoe..."

Sasuke then noticed that his eyes were a little hot. He walked to the puddle, looked at the three tomoe in his eyes reflected in the water, and a wild and wicked smile appeared on his face.

Wait for me... wait for me to take your life, Uchiha Itachi!!!

.........

Kakashi said unhappily, "Mr. Tazuna, you didn't tell us we'd be attacked by ninjas..."

Dazna cried out, "I...I...I had no choice, Ninja Master..."

After listening to Dazna's moral blackmail, Kakashi asked the three students for their opinions.

Naruto didn't want to go against Kakashi, so he said indifferently, "Whatever."
