A/N: This is my very first fanfic... please be nice!
CHAPTER I
It was a warm night in Konoha, and there was a celebration. There were fireworks, drinking, dancing, drinking, general partying and more drinking, as Tsunade insisted on buying enough sake to drown the whole village. The people were aware of this.
Why she was doing this, however, very few knew.
The celebration went on all day, and all night. The streets were crowded, namely because our big-busted Hokage, in a fit of drunkenness, declared Konoha open to all the other villages for the day.
"Not to worry," she slurred. "I made sure there's enough sake for everyone!" She slumped on the desk after saying so, and had to be carried to her room.
This was strange of Tsunade- normally she was a tightwad, and hogged all the sake. But all the people were grateful, and too busy having fun to even care.
That was why the streets were littered with sake bottles, many levels of drunken people, and unconscious bastards.
Amidst all the chaos and confusion, a lone kunoichi with short black hair, a blank forehead protector and dragging behind her a large box entered the village, unnoticed because everyone was either too drunk or didn't find anything unusual at all.
She walked down the streets of Konoha, not bothering to ask directions- she knew exactly where she was going.
That same night, Kakashi was on his way to Ichiraku, orange book in hand.
He didn't even look up from his book to think up a good excuse to his team for being late. I'll just probably get yelled at again, he thought. Wait, I've got one! He smiled under his mask.
This one's foolproof…
Team seven had been waiting for two hours.
"Kakashi-sensei's late again! And I'm hungry!" a very upset Naruto exclaimed.
"Yeah, he promised to treat us this time!" a very flustered Sakura followed. Inner Sakura had a more violent- no, murderous- thought.
Sasuke stayed silent, but his stomach didn't. Unconsciously fingering a kunai, he raised an eyebrow at his team mates and let out a "Hn". This one meant, I know that. Shut up.
He pulled out the kunai and was about to throw it at Naruto when Kakashi entered the restaurant.
He smirked. A better target.
Naruto and Sakura noticed his presence and promptly began yelling at him, after which a kunai nearly hit their sensei.
He dodged it, of course, and hit the wall instead… all eyes turned toward Sasuke- who was still glaring at the spiky-haired jounin, Sharingan activated.
"Sasuke, it's not nice to try to kill your sensei." Kakashi said, ignoring the murderous looks shot at him by his students. "Besides, I have a valid excuse."
Three pairs of eyes narrowed. "Which would be…"
"I was on a mission. Honest." Of course, though, he had his fingers crossed behind him.
The three didn't notice this and were sated, while their sensei was happy to have neither been injured nor killed.
"Now, are we going to eat or what?"
