Naruto Shippuden (Male Reader Insert)

Chapter III

Tsunade: What? Have you got a problem with that?

Naruto: Since you're asking, yes. Lousy C-rank mission, it's beneath my dignity.

Everyone sweatdropped at Naruto. (Y/N) laughed.

(Y/N): You haven't changed, Naruto.

Iruka: <sighs> Naruto, your skills may have improved, but mentally, you haven't matured at all.

Tsunade: Naruto, I've chosen an easier mission to start with to break you in. You've been gone from us for a while. And (Y/N) has too.

Naruto: Well, who says I want an easier mission?

Sakura started giving Naruto a noogie, while looking at Tsunade, apologetically.

Sakura: So sorry, milady. Let me talk to him. I'm sure I can bring him around.

Tsunade held out a paper.

Tsunade: The details of your mission are here.

Kakashi: Right.

Naruto: Hmph. I miss the Third Hokage. That old man was smart. He knew what he was doing.

Tsunade: Huh?! What did you say?! 💢

Sakura gasped and started choking Naruto.

Sakura: Just shut up, will ya?!

(Y/N): How about the both of you calm down?

The door opened, and the woman from before rushed in.

Woman: Lady Tsunade, terrible news!

Tsunade: Now what is it?

Woman: An emergency dispatch from the Sand.

Naruto: Huh, the Sand?

Tsunade: Where is this dispatch?

Woman: <handing Tsunade the dispatch> I deciphered it as quickly as I could.

Tsunade: <reading it> What the—?

Iruka and Shizune read it from behind Tsunade's shoulders.

Iruka: <gasps> It can't be...

Shizune: <shocked> No way.

Naruto: What is it? What's happened?

(Y/N): Did Gaara get kidnapped or something?

Tsunade, Iruka, and Shizune all shot (Y/N) a look of horror and shock.

(Y/N): Uh, oh.

Tsunade: Yes. He's been taken prisoner by the Akatsuki.

Everyone was surprised.

(Y/N): I shouldn't have said that.

Naruto: So they're back again...

Flashbacks of Itachi and Kisame came flooding back to (Y/N) and Naruto.

Tsunade: We've been studying them. We know more about the Akatsuki than any other village. Therefore, the Sand Village has officially requested our help.

Shizune: <gasps> You're not suggesting that Team Kakashi—

Tsunade: This is urgent. I haven't time to form another squad. And besides, we have someone here who's actually fought the Akatsuki.

(Y/N): Well, I've technically fought them too. Not well admittedly, but I skirmished with them.

Shizune: Yes, but even so—
