MenuCHAPTER 009 - The Worst Client 
Deep inside a forest, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura prepare to
ambush their target. Kakashi gives the okay for everyone to
attack. Naruto leads the charge and captures the
target… a cat. Kakashi announces that
they’ve completed their mission and they return to Konoha to
return the cat, “Tora”, to its owner, the Fire
Country’s Daimyo’s wife, Madam Shijimi.The Hokage readies to give Team 7’s next mission; the duties include babysitting, shopping and helping dig 
potatoes. Naruto has had enough of these lame missions and
demands a better one. Iruka yells at Naruto that all rookies
start with simple duties and work their way up. The Hokage
explains to Naruto that the mission requests they receive everyday are
broken down into A, B, C and D ranks based on difficulty. All
shinobis are also divided based on skill from the Hokage at the top,
then the Jounins, then the Chunnins, then the Genins. The  missions
are handed out based on ninja ability. Genins receive C and D
rank missions, Chunnins can take B and C ranks and Jounins are reserved
for A rank missions. Once a mission is complete, the client
pays the fee to the village. But since Naruto and the others are only
Genin, they only get D-rank missions.Naruto argues that he isn’t the trouble making brat he used to be, so finally the Hokage relents and offers them a C rank mission to protect a client. Naruto gets excited that it could be a princess or feudal lord, but the person who shows up is a drunken old man. The old man is not impressed that his 
bodyguards will be young kids and adds that Naruto is particularly
stupid looking. He introduces himself as Tazuna, an
expert bridge builder. He needs Team Kakashi to escort him
back to his village in the Land of Waves so he can complete a
bridge. 
Later on at the main entrance to the village, Naruto is all
hyped up about the mission. Tzuna insults him again by
doubting that Naruto has the ability to protect him. Naruto
tells Tzauna not to underestimate him and announces that he will be
Hokage one day. But Tazuna isn’t impressed and
keeps on drinking his liquor.
The group begin their journey, but a pair of masked shinobis
are watching them from the trees. As they are walking,
Kakashi starts talking to Tazuna about the Land of Waves.
Since Wave Country is quite small, it does not have a shinobi
village. Kakashi explains that a shinobi village is
equivalent to a country’s military power. The five
most powerful shinobi villages are the Leaf, Mist, Cloud, Sand, and
Stone hidden villages Each village is lead by a Kage  (Shadow),
who is the most powerful ninja of that village. For example,
Konoha is led by the Hokage (Fire Shadow). Kakashi tells everyone that
they won’t encounter any foreign ninjas on a C rank mission,
so they don’t need to worry. However, Sasuke
notices that Tazuna still looks concerned.
