"Are you requesting that you bring one of these clansmen back?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"...No, they're well-known for being mentally unstable, so bringing one of them to Konoha would be more detrimental rather than beneficial...Your mission remains the same, eliminate any of the remaining shinobi, recover any of the research you may find, completely destroy the entire base of operations as well as any evidence left behind, and investigate the town. However, if you run into one of these clansmen bring back a DNA sample once he is eliminated...And by eliminated, I mean eliminated. I want no survivors left behind." Obito spoke seriously, earning a nod from his former student.
Getting the information that he needed, Naruto quickly Shunshined out of the room to prepare for his long journey to the border.
Uchiha Household
Naruto immediately reappeared within his room of the main Uchiha household. Even after all these years, he still used the Shunshin that Shisui had taught him. His former sensei had perfected the jutsu beyond shinobi comprehension, as of now, Minato was the only one in the village who was able to boast that they were faster. No swirl of leaves, no poof of smoke, no bursting into a flock of crows, just simply appearing out of thin air.
His sudden appearance in the room earned an 'eep' from the woman who was sitting on the bed, and causing her to drop the tanto that she was running her fingers over.
"Taichou! Don't scare me like that!" Mikoto whined cutely, re-sheathing her tanto into the scabbard strapped to the small of her back.
Normally one would question why there was a person in their room when said person should be preparing for a mission, but due to her playful personality Naruto simply dismissed her presence and moved to gather his necessary equipment.
"Shouldn't you be getting ready for our mission Mikoto-chan?" Naruto asked as he moved towards the dresser that held all his shinobi equipment.
While shuriken and kunai were common tool for a shinobi to carry, Naruto mainly used his sword for melee combat. It would be too much trouble to carry around excess weaponry when he knew that he wouldn't be using it very much, so the dresser only contained a few sets of kunai and shuriken each. He grabbed one of the pre-prepared sealing scrolls that had already been stocked with shuriken and kunai, placing it in the weapons pouch on the back of his right hip.
"I've already finished!" Mikoto exclaimed as she excitedly patted the scroll pockets on her flak jacket. She had most likely sealed several sets of clothes and any other necessary items into sealing scrolls for convenience so that she wouldn't have to carry around a large pack. Many newly graduated genin usually carried around backpacks on missions due to their inexperience, whereas chūnin-ranked shinobi and above resorted to sealing scrolls as they were more effective.
This had not been the case for Naruto though, as he had made sure not to neglect his training in the art of fūinjutsu while he was still training on his own in the cave before he had graduated from the academy. Then later on, Obito had taught him more in depth about sealing and how useful it really was. Konoha had four fūinjutsu masters, Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya, and Obito. Though it was unknown how exactly Obito was so adept in the art, he seemed to have picked up knowledge of it during the period of his life when he went missing during the Third Shinobi World War that even surpassed Kushina's knowledge, a woman who had grown up in Uzushiogakure.
"...I remember everything that was said last night, but I can't just leave it alone...Why'd you request to be put on this team?" Naruto didn't turn around the entire time as he placed several blank sealing scrolls into an extra pouch which he attached to the back of his left hip, so he couldn't have seen the content look that graced Mikoto's face.
Though he may have not turned around because he didn't want to see that very look.
"Hm, it's important to spend what time you have with your family whenever you can...not to mention that before the invasion, things had been pretty boring around here. I mean, now that the other Uchiha children are living within the compound again, I go and check up on each of them and help them out when I can, but other than that there isn't much to do when you and Satsuki-chan are gone...I supposed that I wanted a little more excitement while I was still able to, you know?" Mikoto gave Naruto a charming smile as he turned around.
Not just what she said, but the phrases she used were a little strange and out of character from her usual manner of speech. To most it would have sounded like she was talking about getting older and the previous generation taking their places in the world, but there was something deeper behind those words that was hard to grasp.
Naruto shook his head, dismissing the idea for now, as he grabbed another pre-prepared scroll, this one containing explosive notes, and secured it within one of the chest pockets on his flak jacket. If they were to completely destroy an entire laboratory, they would need the firepower to do so. Naruto could easily do so with his own abilities, but something like this was far more conventional and would draw less attention from anyone else in the area, they couldn't be warning any shinobi taking refuge in the town that they were there. Within the scroll were forty explosive notes, that much explosive power could easily get the job done.
"Well, I'm all set we better get going before we're late...talking with Obito-sensei took more time than I had anticipated." Naruto offered his hand to Mikoto, who was still sitting on the edge of the bed, which she happily accepted.
She had only been expecting to be helped up, but instead was pulled into a passionate kiss as they stood there in the middle of the room. It took a moment for her to react, but she leaned into the kiss with just as much passion. She moved to deepen the kiss, but it seemed that fate was playing with them once again as they were cut short by a knocking on the door.
"Naruto-nii, Kaa-chan! We should probably get going soon to meet up with Natsuki-san and Narumi-san!" Were the Satsuki's shouts from behind the door. It appeared that she was ready to leave as well and had only been waiting on the two of them. "I'll be waiting out front, so hurry up and finish whatever it is you're doing in there!"
It would be rather awkward if she found out that her mother had just been locking lips with her brother figure, but lucky for them, she had most likely assumed that Naruto would be wondering why Mikoto was suddenly taking missions again, just like she had. Whatever the case, she was right. If they had gotten caught up in the moment like usual, then they would have undoubtedly missed the one hour deadline that Naruto had set.
"We'll be right out Satsuki!"
After giving a small peck on the lips to Mikoto, Naruto grabbed her hand and led her out the door to meet up with Satsuki. He somehow had the feeling this would be a long mission.
