You have slept in your bed. HP & CP are fully restored.
In the three months that had passed since graduating from the academy, Naruto had done little else but train his ass off and do the missions assigned. And somewhere in all of that he also improved his life skills, fuinjutsu, and reputation building daily quests. It left him quite a bit better off for money and best of all . . .

Uzumaki Naruto is the dead last of this year's graduating class, rating so low because of his inability to create a basic bunshin. Naruto proved his worth after the test when he stopped a traitor and learned two A-Rank kinjutsu. And finally he has gotten some answers to his past but still mystery remains. Who is his father? How did the Kyuubi escape?

Still, Sasuke had him by a level still but they were so closely matched now it was amazing. Even if Sasuke was still faster and more skilled in taijutsu. Their taijutsu only spars were becoming closer and closer things to watch. Sadly, Sasuke had also picked up a lot more ninjutsu along the way, not from Kakashi.
Of course not from Kakashi, that guy was a prick about teaching them new stuff. In the three months they had been a team he had worked on their taijutsu, taught them tree climbing, and team tactics. That's it. No other chakra control exercises, no elemental affinity training, no ninjutsu. Add to that the daily bull shit D-Rank mission and you had three very unhappy genin.
Well, mostly Naruto and Sasuke were unhappy. Sakura was just fine with it because it gave her the chance to learn some more iryojutsu, apparently the hospital just about gave scrolls away to any shinobi that asked for them, up to a certain level anyway. Speaking of levels, she had gained four levels in the last two months and was now proudly sitting at level eighteen.
So, once again Naruto and his teammates were standing in the Hokage's office, collecting a mission when something finally snapped in Naruto.
"That's it, no more!" he all but shouted.
"What seems to be the problem, Naruto-kun?" asked the old man, happily sitting in his throne-like chair.
"I can't take any more of these," pleaded Naruto. "Please, just put me out of my misery and give us a C-Rank, just one."
"Well, I'm surprised it took you so long to demand such a mission," said the old man, barely stifling a chuckle.
"I held out as long as I could but I can't do it anymore," said Naruto. "So what do you say?"
"And do you really think your team is ready for this?" asked Sarutobi.
"Hell yeah," said Naruto.
"Kakashi?"
"Mah, I guess they could do with a bit of a challenge," said Kakashi.
"Well then, I suppose we can give you a C-Rank," said Sarutobi, picking one off the large stack of scrolls next to him. "One C-Rank mission for Team Seven it is then."
"So what is it?" demanded Naruto. "Clearing out a bandit army, saving a princess, or maybe overthrowing a corrupt business man who is strangling the economy of a poor nation for his own gain?"
"You will be protecting a certain individual," said the old man, laughing lightly at Naruto's conjecture.
"So who is it?"
In walked an old man, a red glow to his face, he stumbled slightly and hiccupped once, a jug of alcohol shook and sloshed from a string wrapped around his wrist.
"Meet Tazuna, he's a bridge builder," said Sarutobi, introducing the man. "You'll protect him on his trip back to wave and protect him until he completes construction on his bridge."
"Protect him from what?" asked Sakura.
"Maybe himself?" asked Naruto, earning a small giggle from Sakura and smirk from Sasuke.
"Are you sure these brats can protect me?" asked Tazuna.
"They are capable but even if things get out of hand I'll be there to step in," reassured Kakashi.
"Well, I expect you to do a super job," he said, taking a long pull from his sake jug.
"We leave first thing in the morning. Get some rest and be ready to go at first light," said Kakashi. "We'll meet at the south gate." He then vanished a moment later.
The three kids frowned.
"I'm going to drink, you kids better be super ready," slurred Tazuna, turning and stumbling away.
Quest Alert: C-Rank Mission . . . as if.
Protect Tazuna through the process of completing his bridge.
