Hiroko Takamaru story

It was an ordinary day for Kakashi, walking down the streets of Konoha reading the new book of Jiraiya's, which he had been enjoying until two anbu black ops members appeared in front of him.

"Kakashi Hatake, the Hokage wishes to speak with you as soon as possible." The Anbu told him quickly waiting for his answer.

"yes, of course," he said sighing as he put the book back in his back pocket and headed to the hokage's office.

When Kakashi got there he walked into the room to see lady Tsunade at her desk hands folded and staying at the others who were already there. Papers were scattered all over her desk, he could barely see the desk at all. Walking in he stood next to his three students.

"Late again Kakashi," Naruto murmured up to him. Sakura nudged him with her shoulder, as if to say 'shut up'.

"Kakashi I have a mission for your squad, Kurenai and Asuma's squads will also be sent on this mission," the Tsunade said as she looking down at the stack of papers, shifting some around she took out a scroll. Rolling it out on her desk, "It's a B ranked mission," pausing she let Kakashi look it over.

"A retrieval mission?" he questioned, "isn't that more of a D of C ranked?"

"It's different this isn't just an ordinary person," her eyes looked over at Naruto, who looked a bit confused, "she's a jinjuriki,"

"I see," he said quietly still looking over the scroll.

"I received this scroll, a bird came but it wasn't from any of the other countries, it was a privately own bird," she said sounding a bit irritated, "in the scroll as you can see, was a profile of the girl Hiroko Takamaru, along with this picture," she picked up the card handing it to him.

"So your assuming the akatsuki is after this girl as well?" Kakashi asked taking the picture.

"Yes I am, we assume that the akatsuki were also responsible for the death of most of the Takamaru clan, though it's a small clan it wasn't unnoticed, it happened about three weeks ago,"

"How long till we leave?" he asked looking up from the scroll.

"Tomorrow, six a.m. you'll meet the other squads there as well,"

Kakashi simply nodded taking his leave, along with Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke who followed.

When he was out the door they all parted ways, Kakashi went back to his apartment. After taking a hot shower he laid down on his bed wearing nothing but his boxers, then fell asleep.

-The next morning-

Kakashi woke up, turning his head he looked over at the clock, it was five forty five, he had fifteen minutes to get to the gates. Pulling off his covers her walked over to his bathroom, doing his daily routine. Putting on his mask and headband he walked over to the door, grabbing a bag that he'd placed by the door, he walked outside shutting and locking the door behind him.

Arriving at the gates Kakashi looked at the group that was gathered there. Sakura and Ino were fighting over Sasuke who didn't really care in the least and was just waiting silently by and Naruto had his back turned looking out the gate looking as though he would've left them all behind.

"So are we all ready" asked Kakashi walking up next to his squad.

"Yes, finally we can leave!" Naruto shouted out sounding excited.

"You're wrong about that," Ino said walking up to them.

"What do you mean, wrong?" Naruto asked looking over at Ino.

"You probably didn't notice but, Shikamaru isn't even here yet," Choji said walking over to them and standing next to Ino.

Naruto looked over them and scanned the others, "Huh, I guess your right," Naruto said squinting his eyes, "so where is he?"

"He's probably still in bed sleeping," Ino said annoyed by Shikamaru's absents.

"Well were going to have to go get him then," Naruto said as he walked down the street, then turned around, "eh where does he live?" he asked scratching the back of his head.

"Idiot," Ino said lamely while she shook her head.

While they were discussing Shikamaru, Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai were discussing who'd be going where. They needed to scan the area and that would take a lot of work and time.

-Shikamaru's house-

"SHIKAMARU! Wake up don't you have a mission today?" his mother yelled up to him.

Shikamaru groaned as he pushed himself up off the bed and looked over at his clock, it was five past six.

"Oh man, Ino's going to kill me," he said as he got dressed and grabbed his bag, having no time to eat he ran out of the house, well walked at a faster pace the usual.

-At the gate-

"Where have you been?" Ino shouted at the sight of Shikamaru walking towards them.

"Calm down, I'm here now," Shikamaru said walking towards them, eyes closed and hands in his pockets.

"Just get up?" Choji laughed.

"Alright every one gather around," Kurenai called them over to a map that was laid out on the ground.

"Here's the plan, my team will be going north through the fire country towards the sound country then head over to the lighting country, Kakashi's team will go south west towards the river and wind countries then when their done there they'll head up to the earth country, Asuma's team will head towards the whirlpool and wave country then head down to the tea country," she explained and then rolled up the map, "Kakashi, Asuma, and I all have maps so you shouldn't get lost," she placed the map back in her bag, "alright that's all,"

"Alright now that we're all here and now where were going can we leave?" Naruto asked being impatient.

"Yes we can leave," Kakashi said walking ahead of them.

"Sweet!" Naruto said throwing a fist in the air and walking behind him.

All three teams then disappeared heading their own direction.
