"Kakashi-Kun! There you are!" Kakashi looked over his shoulder to see his best friends Kiro-kun and Enerju-kun. Kakashi smiled under his mask and slowed down his stride so Enerju and Kiro could catch up. "Thought we were never going to catch you. We have some great news! We passed the final exam and are becoming Genins!!"

"We are?!" Kakashi asked, turning to face them. Kiro nodded and a big smile was across Enerju's face. Kakashi nodded and let his friends walk alongside of him, Enerju on the right and Kiro on the left. These three were the best of friends, inseparable.

The next day, the Hokage came to them, a solemn expression on his face.

"Kakashi, Kiro and Enerju. I have a mission for you three."

"What is it, Hokage Sensei?"

"You know the war that is going on between our village and the Sound Village?"

"Yes Sensei." The three said in unison.

"I need you three to join the effort and win us this war."

"Of course Sensei!"

"Good, that's my three students." The Hokage smiled and walked away. Enerju glanced over to Kakashi and Kiro. They looked over to each other and smiles crossed their faces.

"Yes! We can finally fight!" Enerju shouted. Kakashi was as silent as usual as Kiro walked on. Enerju sprinted ahead and spun on her toes. Kakashi smiled under his mask and walked past her.

"Come on, Enerju-kun. Let's go get some rest." Kiro smiled, taking her arm.

"Right!" Enerju grinned. They walked back to their own homes and slept until the alarm bell rang at 2:00 in the morning. Kakashi was out first, Kiro and Enerju met up with him later.

"We need to fight to protect the village. That is what we Genins do!" Kiro shouted. Enerju and Kakashi nodded in agreement and they sprinted off to the nearest battle.
