A/N: Fair warning that this is an AU of Naruto so expect some changes here and there with some plot details and the characters.

Also, not-so light cursing ahead.

REVIEWS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED \(-.-)/

Dumb Luck

...

Humid air was expected once March settled in. The month promised a hot sweltering hell to any of the Villages inside the Fire country but honestly this was ridiculous.

Sweat poured down his skin as Kakashi willed himself to walk down the busy streets of Konoha; the sun was practically unforgiving with its torrid rays. He tried to avoid colliding with any of the sweat stained armpits of old men but to no avail; it seemed that some other-worldly being really hated him up there.

.

His daily schedule was simple enough: Drop by the bookstore, get something to eat before proceeding to indulge himself in the literacy masterpiece that the great Jiraya has once again written.

But ever-so often his hand would twitch against his Jounin vest, oh-so close to the scroll that the Hokage has gifted to him only hours ago.

.

His mind began to wander to the little piece of unwanted information that he had just been informed about by the wrinkly-old legend when a putrid combination of sweat and body odour literally hit him in the face.

Backing away, Kakashi gave the smelly geezer a poisonous glare when the old fart smiled unapologetically at him. A crowd of people pushed Kakashi back; managing to save the man from getting a rather rude wake-up call about baths and hygienic practices.

.

A heavy pant escaped him as the wind once again brought a blistering breeze to his sweaty form.

Tugging at the edge of his collar, the Jounin cursed at the heat wave that decided to blow down on them at practically the worst moment. Picking up his pace, he practically sprinted off the ground as he raced towards the only bookstore that was brazen enough to sell the frog sage's pornography.

With his patience wearing thin; Kakashi sang prayers as he willed the large mass of people to just evaporate so he can finally call this a day.

Though, it seems someone up there really does hate him. Kakashi openly cursed as he saw the lengthy line protruding from the bookstore only to stop a few meters shy the old lady's dumpling shop from across the street.

...

"Fuck"
