Prologue

A weary traveller stood in front of the main entrance to the Hidden Leaf Village which prior to his arrival suffered an attack from the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon.
'Its been a while since I've passed through these gates' he gave a slight laugh in remembrance ',never drinking like that ever again.'

As he walked through the village he took note of all places he enjoyed back in his youth despite the amount of damage dealt by the Nine-Tails the village had made a lot of progress.
"They work fast." he said out as he continued his journey to his first destination 'The Hot Springs,' a sheepish grin crossed his face as he looked around 'the women are still as beautiful as ever I had best do some research before I leave.'

Sarutobi Hiruzen the Third Hokage and after the death of his successor the Forth Hokage Minato Namikaze; the years of stress and service to the village has taken its toll on the Third both physically and mentally. The only thing that is keeping the Third going is his Will of Fire that the Second Hokage instilled in him.

A knock on the door brought the Third back to his senses
"Enter." he said

"Hey old timer." the man said

"Ah Jiraiya right on time."

"What are you talking about? Were you expecting me?"

"Yes or rather I was expecting you or Tsunade to come and check on the village."

"Why?"

"I needed one of you."

"Well sensei I'm to help in any way I can;" the Third got up from his seat and handed Jiraiya a file "what's this?"

"It's a detailed report of the Nine-Tails attack I would ask that you read the marked accounts." Jiraiya read most of the pages except one before he stared at his sensei in disbelief

"Sensei this is impossible...there's no way-" Jiraiya was cut off by the Third

"Read the last page." the Third said in a calm voice and Jiraiya obeyed and read it

"This is from...you."

"Exactly I saw these events unfold before my very eyes the sheer power was incredible."

"I don't see how this has anything to do with me."

"We have the Nine-Tails power in our possession that would hopefully stir away any attack but we low on ninja...I want you to train these three Jiraiya you one of the people I trust with such a task."

"Sensei; I know what it is that you want. You me to take around the country training them and when you have mission that your ninja are unable to do for example being spread too thin."

"Exactly. Trust me Jiraiya I would not burden you or these gennin with such a task if I had a choice."

"Let me meet them." with that they left the Hokage's office and went to the training grounds where the three children were.

The three gennin sat near a rock two were the by pond skipping stones while the third one sat with his eyes closed when Jiraiya stepped forward

"Hey kids;" he started "my name Jiraiya I'm going to be your new sensei."

"Hi Master Jiraiya I'm Danaerys Dairuko and this is my sister Natsuki." the boy with light hair said and received a hard knock on the head by his sister

"I can introduce myself baka;" she said and turned on her cute voice "I'm Danaerys Natsuki."

"Nice to meet you two;" Jiraiya laughed and turned to the boy with his eyes closed "and your name is?"

"Uchiha Itachi."

"Aaah the prodigy Uchiha."

"That's what they say about me."

"Alright kids the Hokage himself has put you under my watch and given us permission to leave the village as we please and return at anytime. Which means you three have the privilege of travelling with the Great Toad Sage himself across the Five Great Nations."

"Why can't we just stay here?" Natsuki asked

"Because Natsuki the four of us are the mobile Leaf team for whenever Konoha needs a mission done where failure is not an option and time isn't a luxury they call us."

"That sounds AWESOME!" Dairuko said with excitement and a gleam in his eye

"We move out in a week and from this point forward we are TEAM 0."
