"Are you sure this is a good idea, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune stood across from the Hokage. Tsunade shook her head.
"Shizune, I've told you time and time before, there is nothing to worry about. We will only be showing them a small amount of ninja abilities, Genin level. And after contacting the Headmaster there, I know this is for the best. If another war breaks out in their world then the good side will have more of a chance of winning. Besides, if they are able to manipulate chakra, then they deserve to learn! It would be depriving them not to know, and in this case, what they don't know could hurt them."
Shizune opened her mouth to object again, but a particularly loud voice stopped her.
"TSUNADE BAA-CHAN! WE-RE STILL HERE! Come on, we've been waiting out here for ten whole minutes!"
"Shut up dobe, you're going to get us in trouble."
"HEY! DON'T CALL ME DOBE BAKA!"
"Urgh, how troublesome."
"Shikamaru, you could at least do something if you think it's that troublesome!"
"Munch chew munch chew!"
"I agree with Naruto! WHAT THE HELL IS TAKING SO LONG!"
"Arf arf!"
"TSUNADE BAA-CHAN!"
"Naruto baka! SHUT UP!" THUMP!
"Ow,"
"N-Naruto-kun!"
"That's right Sakura! LET THE YOUTH FLOW!"
"Lee… sweat drop…"
"Fate really seems to hate me."
"…"
"Sigh"
Tsunade sighed as well. "Better send them in Shizune, urgh" Shizune nodded and opened the door.
Outside, Naruto was rubbing his head while Hinata helped him up, Sakura was still fuming at him with Lee grinning stupidly behind her. Tenten was giving Lee a disbelieving look while Neji and Sasuke had his head in the air, his nose high as if to say 'I'm too good for all of you guys'. Kiba was impatiently tapping his foot, Akamaru resting on his head, next to a lazy Shikamaru who was lying down on one of the benches, who Ino was still yelling madly at, something about being lazy, how he should get off his ass and do something, etc, etc. Meanwhile, Chouji, Shino and Kakashi played the part of spectator, Kakashi reading his book, Shino mumbling something to an ant he had on his finger, and Chouji, with a bowl of popcorn replacing his usual packet of chips, watched the scene with interest, like a small child at the movies.
"Uhh, Tsunade-same will see you now." Shizune said, sweat dropping at the scene before her.
"Yes! Finally!" Naruto yelled, abandoning Hinata and running through the door of the Hokage's office. The other followed in suite, only a lot slower. Tsunade looked at the blonde idiot standing in front of her. How did I ever lose that necklace to this kid she thought.
"Well, I guess you're wondering why you're here." No reply, not even from Naruto, but they where still waiting for an answer to the unasked question. 'Well it's because I have a mission for all of you."
"Wait, you mean for ALL of us? Together?"
"Yes Sakura. I'll explain why if you just let me finish." Sakura blushed in embarrassment. 'Now, as I was saying, this mission is for ALL of you, and it will last a whole year, and-"
"WHAT?! A WHOLE YEAR! WHAT KIND OF MISSION IS THIS?!" Kiba exclaimed.
"THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU!" Tsunade yelled back, a vein popping out of her forehead. She sighed, taking a swig from her sake bottle. She always had one handy, and she was glad she did. Fing kids, she thought. Fing migraines too. She rubbed her temples. "Anyway you will be going to Britain to a school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Naruto cracked up laughing, but Tsunade's harsh glare halted it immediately. "Kakashi will be the only Jounin going on this mission. He will be teaching some ninja skills to some of the students there who have shown some signs of being able to manipulate chakra. The reasons that I have put someone from our village forward for teaching these students is so that if another war breaks out, they will be more prepared. The second reason is that, as you know, chakra can be dangerous if not kept under control. Also accompanying you on this mission will be the sand siblings. They will meet you along the way there. Any questions?"
"Yeah, what do we do while Kakashi sensei is teaching?" Ino asked.
"You will be training. You will also be helping Kakashi out I some of his lessons and learning about wizarding life, history and such and such."
"Well, how are we going to get there?"
"Everything else you need to know is in these scrolls." She said, holding up a set of three scrolls in her hand. "You will get a set each. It contains the mission brief, you timetable for the year and in what lessons you will be helping Kakashi in. I took the liberty of doing that for him, as I'm afraid if I didn't, the students wouldn't learn anything." She smirked at Kakashi, who just sweat dropped. Naruto laughed.
"You will be leaving in a week. Pack only one trunk full, so some of you might have to pack light to fit it." She eyed Sakura and Ino. "So you know, you will be able to wash clothes there, and the meals will be provided. And another thing, make sure you DO NOT tell anyone else in the village about this mission."
"Huh?" said Naruto. "Why not?"
"Because wizards aren't meant to be real. No one else is to know. Is that clear?"
"HAI!" chorused the students.
"Hai… sigh" Kakashi said lazily. Another class of students. Kakashi thought. And if anyone of them is the slightest bit like Naruto, sigh, I don't know how I'm going to survive this year.
