"Your late, Kakashi-Sensei!" A blonde haired genin and a pink haired genin yelled out to a young man who was crouching on the top of the bridge gate.
"I am the jounin, I am never late, you all are just early," Kakashi replied calmly, still staring down at a red covered book.
"Yeah, whatever," The pink haired girl said before turning to the raven haired boy, "Are you ok, Sasuke-kun?"
"Yeah, Sakura, I'm just tired of waiting," Sasuke replied before turning to the blonde genin, who was pointing at Kakashi and yelling at him for being late, " Naruto, baka, quit yelling,"
Nauto growled but quieted down as Kakashi spoke. Kakashi stared down at the three,"This is different... Ever since the attack from the Sound and the Sand, we have not been able to promote you all to chuunin status. Hokage-sama decided to change this,"
Naruto's ears perked up at the mentioning of the Hokage, 'What did Obaa-san do?' He turned to Sasuke and Sakura quickly before speaking out," What is Obaa-san planning?"
"She has decided for a A classed mission, to be used with the cooperation with the teams of Asuma's, Kuruenai's, and Gai's teams," Kakashi told his students, "We are to meet at the Hokage's office in 10 minutes to meet with the other teams before Tsunade-sama briefs us for the mission,"
"Let's go then!" Naruto yelled before taking off at a dead run, leaving the other three sighing in embarressment and amusement.

"Unless your Kakashi, you are most likely wondering why you are here," The blonde haired Hokage spoke out as she looked over the four teams.
"Yes Tsunade-sama! Please tell us so that the fires of youth may fill ou-" A tall man in a dark green outfit with orange leg warmers began speaking, but was hit in the back of the head quickly by Asuma, Kuerenai, and Tsunade. Tsunade shook her head in disgust before beginning to speak again.
"Because of the lack of a chuunin exam, Shikamaru has been the only one who has been promoted to the chuunin level, in which he turned down for it being...'Too troublesome'," Tsunade said through gritted teeth,"So the council has decided to agree to having a mission in which all the teams will participate in and will be promoted to chuunin on a successful completion of the mission. If you do complete this mission, your promotion is immediate and final, but your new team leaders will still be your jounin team leaders,"
"Quit stalling! Just tell us the mission already!" Naruto yelled out, which caused Tsunade to twitch involuntery to attack Naruto, sending him flying into the wall.
"I was just getting to that. The mission is an A classed mission to the Hidden Village in the Sand to speak to Gaara, the Kazekage and to speak with diplomatic issues. Then you will all head to a large builden hidden in the forest and you will train for two years under the training of your four instructors. Afterwards, you will all then go to the Village Hidden in the Waterfall, and the Village Hidden in the Mist and speak with the Mizukage on an alliance to help defeat the Sound and Orochimaru." Tsunade explained before sitting back down behind the desk and stairing at the teams.
The door opened behind them and four people entered the room, three teenagers, and one young man about the age of 20. The four teams turned to stare at the four new arrivals in surpise and confusement before the dark-blue haired man stepped forward to introduce himself.
"I am Akito Shaoku," He said before bowing low to the large group massed in the room, he then pointed behind him to the three teenagers and began to introduce them as well," The white haired cheery little fellow is Shinrai Flarea. The blue haired girl is my little sister, Enko Shaoku. Last, but certainly not least by any accounts, the brown haired girl standing beside Shinrai is Sabriel Zango,"
"You're late," Tsunade snapped as she glared at Akito and sighed a bit, shaking her head," You're as bad as Kakashi,"
"Well Kakashi is usually late, we were late because we just finishing rebuilding the bar because we had finished with the houses already..." Akito replied quickly, a hint of steel in his voice before leaning against the wall with a slight smile,"You don't have to explain it again though, we were listening in as we came up the stairs,"
"Well then you know that your team will also be joining the exam, since you had to be away from the last one," Tsunade responded with an evil grin and spun her seat around," You have two days to get ready for your mission, you are not to speak to anybody about the mission, not even your parents or lovers. The rest of you except for Akito may leave," Akito winced as the other four teams began to leave the office, leaving only Akito's team and Tsunade in the room. Akito turned to his students and smiled lightly before motioning to the door with his head.
Shinrai, Enko, and Sabriel nodded in response, knowing their teacher would be busy being yelled at for a good few hours, and that they now had permission to leave. the three left very quickly and began to head down the stairs, but not before hearing the screaming of the Hokage in full glory.
"What the hell were you thinking! I am the Fifth Hokage!" Was all that they heard before hurrying from the room, partly in fright from the woman with super human strength.

"Hey you!" Naruto yelled out as he saw the three genins leave the Hokage's office hurriedly,"Who are you guys... I haven't seen you around the village at all,"
Shinrai turned to Enko and Sabriel quickly before speaking," We were gone on a long mission, and we just started taking missions again..." He told the blonde genin, realizing two more pressences behind him and his two teammates.
"Your the students under Hatake Kakashi aren't you?" Sabriel asked with a small bow as she turned for face the two pressences that were behind them, which were Sasuke and Sakura.
"Yes, and your the students under Akito Shaoku?" Sakura replied, smiling nervously, trying to step in between on Enko and Sasuke, who were beginning to glare at each other. Shinrai nodded before placing a hand on Enko's shoulder and whispering something into her ear, which seemed to relax her.
"Yes, we are just going to our homes to grab our supplies for the mission, and then go to the ramen stand for dinner, you can join us there if you would like," Sabriel told explained, her eyes darting between the six of them, hoping a fight would not start between the teams. Naruto stepped back, his mouth wide open at what Sabriel said and smiled.
"Ramen! I am there!" He said excitedly before nodding slightly and heading to his apartment to pack his supplies. Sakura nodded in agreement before walking down the path with the silent Sasuke.
"What the hell was that?" Shinrai asked, rubbing the back of his head in puzzlement.
Enko sighed before looking to her male teammate, "That, I think, was Team 7, the only team that Kakashi passed,"
"He passed those three? Unbelievable.." Shinrai replied, beginning to head towards his house, Enko and Sabriel in tow, the three of them all lving in seperate but adjacent apartments.

"Neji-san!" A young man with very thick eyebrows, a green suit, and orange leg warmers called out as he waved at the gate entrance. Neji spun around quickly and groaned a small bit before realizing that it was his teammate, Rock Lee.
"Hello Lee," Neji said slowly before leaning back against the gate wall, he had been the first one to arrive at the gate, even when his cousin, Hinata said that she had to make sure a present had been sent. He had not expected Lee to be the second one to arrive.Lee smiled joyously as he began to jog in place.
"Where are everybody else? My flame of youth yearns for this mission to start!" Lee screamed out, posing as he placed his thumb out and flashed a smile to his teammate.
Neji groaned slightly as he saw the pose and shook his head before looking behind his posing teammate and smiled lightly," Hello Tenten, how are you?" He ask the girl that was behind Lee.
The girl,Tenten, was wearing a verly large backpack behind her, which the sound of metal rustling together was heard on each step that the girl moves," I am fine Neji-chan, I am finally packed... I packed enough weapons for two years... At least until I make some more,"
"More weapons? That pack is huge!" A voice from behind of Neji sounded out, and a bark of agreement rang out, signaling that it was Kiba Inuzuka. Neji turned to face the new voice and saw that two people accompanied Kiba. One was a blue haired girl which he had identified as his cousin, Hinata Hyuuga, of the main branch of the Hyuuga clan. The other person accompaning Kiba was Shino, from the Aburame clan.
"I agree with Kiba... Carrying all those weapons seems...Too troublesome," Shikamaru said as he walked slowly down to where the six genin ninjas were already meeting. Behind Shikamaru were Ino and Choji. He shook Neji's hand with a light smile before gazing upwards to the clouds, his eyes already turning unfocused as he began to space out.
Ino began to speak to Tenten quickly, while the others also conversed with each other, until a loud crash came from the Ichiraku Ramen. They all turned to see what the commotion was before realizing that it was Naruto, who was running towards the gate.
"Gomen-nasi!" Sakura said to Teuchi quickly that was working the stand before running off after Naruto. Sasuke followed behind with a slightly amused smile on his face as he walked.
"Where are the instructors and that fifth team?" Sasuke asked annoyed when he realized that the jounin instructors and the team that had arrived in the middle of the Hokage's briefing. Almost on cue, the five jounins, the fifth team, and Tsunade arrived along the path from the Hokage's office.
"Sorry we're late... I had to speak with your instructors, and this team wouldn't leave without their instructor," Tsunade told them, motioning towards Shinrai, Enko, and Sabriel with her head. Shinrai sighed a bit before walking to where the other teams were to recieve the full instructions on their missions.
Tsunade cleared her throat before speaking loudly to address the teams,"You have your briefing, you will reach the large house in a week. You will then train for two years, your Jounin instructors will give monthly reports," She nodded to Kakashi and the others before grabbing the back of Akito's vest and pulling him sharply," He will join you either today or tomarrow... He has to fill out inventory sheets for ALL the stores in Konoha..." She told everyone with a demonic grin on her face.
An audable whimper was heard as he was dragged away by Tsunade, struggling,"W..Why me!"
Tsunade was muttering angerly as she pulled,"Disrespectful son of a b-"
Kakashi turned to Shinrai, Enko, and Sabriel and clapped his hand together before looking to all the teams,"Well he won't be around for a while...So, let's get a move on!"
Line Here.
"But Hokage-sama, why do I have to do this... Can't I just go with my group!" Akito almost yelled in defiance as he looked down to take another item down for inventory.
Tsunade smirked some, nodding slowly,"Oh yes...You can go with your group after you finish your duties..." She pointed to the stores around the street,"Here, there, and the rest of the stores... Then I have my office which needs cleaning... I may even give you a break..."
Akito's eyes bulged from the work and began grumbling,"Damn it... Not even Kakashi gets this when he is late, the damn pervert..."
