Chapter 13 : Twilight

Team 7 was standing in front of the Hokage. Naruto was standing in front with Kurenai and Anko on his sides. Sasuke and Sakura were behind their back with Hinata standing last.

"Mission complete, Hokage-sama." said Naruto curtly

On the other side of the room stood Hiashi, Kakashi and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Any civilian casualties?" asked Hiruzen sternly

"None, they have been transferred to the nearest local police, they will take care of the paperwork and send them to their homes safely. A report has been given to me to hand it over to you." said Naruto and handed the file to Hiruzen

"Very well, enemies?" asked Hiruzen seriously

"Killed till the last man, the heads of Taro and Sasame are in this scroll. Enemy camp has been totally destroyed." confirmed Naruto and handed over the scroll containing the dead bodies of the missing nin.

"He sure has grown" thought Kakashi proudly.

Kakashi then looked at Anko who was looking at him a little warmly, he gave her a small wink that didn't went unnoticed by Naruto. Kakashi and Anko had gotten together a few days back and were now deciding on marriage. Naruto was very happy for both of them.

"Excellent work, you performed the mission faster than I expected. Now give me a brief report on the team's performance." stated Hiruzen simply

"Anko and Kurenai performed as expected, they got the job done. Sasuke was a little hesitant at first but he controlled his emotions and got the job done too. My performance was satisfactory. Sakura gave the best performance in this mission, she not only protected us but also destroyed the enemy. We owe our success to her." said Naruto with a short smile

"Sakura, you have done very well. Konoha is blessed to have such skilled shinobi like you in our forces, your contribution is definitely going to be taken into consideration for your promotion to Chunin." announced Hiruzen happily

"Its nothing Hokage-sama, all of us did our part." said Sakura a little embarrassingly, getting praise from the Hokage was a really Big thing.

"Naruto-san, how was Hinata's performance?" asked Hiashi seriously

Hinata who was standing in the back flinched a little when she heard her father's voice. She feared of what would happen now.

"Pathetic" said Naruto harshly

"What?" asked a shocked Kakashi, Hinata was his new student, she was a little shy but to call her pathetic was a little harsh.

"Care to explain Naruto-san?" asked Hiashi a little angrily. No one insulted a Hyuga in his presence, less his daughter.

"She was tasked with helping Anko in rescuing the hostages, but she failed, she couldn't kill the enemy, she left her comrade open to attacks, she was trembling in front of the enemy, if not for Sakura and Anko, I would be handing over her corpse to you Hiashi-sama." said Naruto truthfully

"HINATA" said Hiashi loudly

Hinata came forward, she was shaking from head to toe, her father was always angry when someone brought shame to the Hyuga clan and she had done just that, and worst of all she was the clan heiress.

"Now, now Hiashi calm down. Naruto, it happens sometimes in the field." said Hiruzen calmly

"I understand, that's why I gave her a second chance too." said Naruto tiredly
