Disclaimer: Masashi Kishimoto. Not us. Thanks for rubbing it in.


Kakashi Hatake was at the stove making breakfast for his fifteen year-old charge, Benitora Ramen, who was still asleep. He was a little relieved and worried that they white haired boy was still asleep. Usually he would be up a good hour before Kakashi intended on getting up, begging ht copy-nin to make breakfast. The reason the young ninja wasn't up yet was due to a nightmare that had kept him and Kakashi up for most of the night. The copy ninja was couldn't help but frown as he thought of the source of the nightmare. Two months ago Benitora was kidnapped by an enemy ninja and tortured for who knows how long. Sense Kakashi had found the poor boy curled up in a cave, the only time he let the young ninja out of sight was if Kakashi knew where he was going and if he had somebody the copy nin knew he well and trusted with him.

Kakashi went to wake Beni so that they could eat and go to the meeting that the Hokage had called for all the Jonin. According to the clock the meeting had started five minutes ago.

After breakfast was eaten and Beni cleaned up the two ninja finally showed up for the meeting. "Sorry we're late," Kakashi said as they entered the room.

"You're not late," the Hokage said with a smile. "You're right on time."

"What? I thought the meeting started at eight, it's nine now."

"The meeting started at nine I told you it started at eight so that you and Beni would be on time. Now that everyone is here let's start. I have an important scroll that needs to be delivered to the Kazekage."

"You called us all here for that? Why not just assign it as a mission," asked one of the jonin.

"It's a very important scroll and I thought I would be nice and let somebody have a chance to volunteer before I assigned somebody to do it."

"Why," asked the same jonin.

"I'm Hokage don't question me. Now would anyone want to volunteer."

"Oh me! Pick me!"

"No Beni, not this time."

"Oh why not you haven't let me do anything fun for the last two months. And besides I want to see my angel, Temari."

"Fine then Beni be here at seven tomorrow morning to pick up the scroll."

"Yaaahoooo!!!" the white haired boy ran to get packed.

"Umm…Tsunade do you think it's the best idea to let Benitora go on this mission alone. I mean he would probably see a butterfly and start chasing it getting lost for weeks and-" Raidou was cut off.

"Ok I get it. Kakashi you go with him and make sure he gets there in one piece. Genma you go and make sure the scroll gets there safely. Dismissed."
