The Will of Fire is something that Konoha nin hold dear to their hearts; a representation of burning passion and loyalty. I, however, never had the tenacity nor the desire to simply charge my way through my doubts and fears. No, I am more similar to water. Flowing, maneuvering, and adapting as each problem is thrown my way. Water, which smothers passion in favour of logic. Coldness instead of the warm vigor most Konoha ninja possess. Perhaps that is why I was never particularly close with any of my classmates, the differences between them and myself are obvious. Water versus fire. Water will extinguish fire, or should the flames be hot enough, water will evaporate. The two mixed together brings nothing but tragedy.

Although, admittedly I had loved my class. They had given me a sense of community, a family almost. I had done my best to help them before I was pulled out to join T&I. Resolving arguments, bringing extra bentos to class, or even just being there to help if someone needed it. That is my greatest downfall. I care too much. It is a foolish thing, but I cannot seem to disregard it no matter how much I try. Caring is a fatal flaw for a ninja. While it may drive one to become stronger, it can also have you fall into despair.

Another truth I would not dare to admit out loud- I do not like Konoha. Prejudice, betrayal and politics fill up every inch of this village, and no one seems to notice or try to resolve these matters. It is painful to watch how absolutely incompetent some people are. Not that I blame them of course. Most people born here are unable to see past all the propaganda that the teachers shove down our throats as children.

"Hey Gaki! We have an appointment, unless you've forgotten." Anko-chan calls, pulling me out of my thoughts.

Looking at the purple haired woman with a slight smile, I nod and rise from my padded office chair, "So I assume I am being reassigned?" I ask, looking up at her as I clasp my hands behind my back.

"Probably. Too bad, I won't have anyone to shove all of the paperwork onto. It's fine though," She says with a grin, brushing her violet hair out of her face, "You can still buy me dango when I come to visit."

Shaking my head with a sigh, I mock glare at her, "You are going to make me use up all of the Kamoto Clan's funds on you. I have other things to spend my money on you know."

Pulling the dango stick out of her mouth the only smirks back, "I am the best investment you've ever made."

Rolling my eyes I smile back, closing my eyes with false cheerfulness, "Buying you dango? Worst mistake an academy student could ever make."

"Oi! That's rude you little brat." Anko says as she pulls me into a headlock, ruffling my hair.

Shifting my hands into the tiger seal I quickly mutter, "Body Replacement Technique!"

Disappearing in a puff of smoke, I jump onto the ceiling and wait for the area to clear up. The door slams open as Ibiki-sama storms in with a scowl on his face, "What's all this racket abou- Anko what the hell are you doing?"

Anko freezes as she realizes she's no longer head locking me, but instead hugging a log. Her face darkens as she snaps her head up to glare at me as her left eye twitches, "Oh Setsu-chan, come down here and we can play a game~" She says in a sing song voice.

Nope. It seems like I'll have to bribe her; I don't want to show up to the meeting too damaged. It would make a poor impression on the Hokage.

A bead of sweat rolls down my face as I smile nervously, my hand landing on my kunai pouch as she radiates faint killing intent, "Ah... Dango on me after the meeting Anko-sensei? My treat?"

In a significantly better mood than before, Ibiki leaves with a neutral expression on his face. His equivalent of being cheerful; likely because of the blackmail he just got. Looking back at my Sensei I cringe at the dark smirk on her face, "That's right," she replies, "But we're going to Kazues tea house this time."

I choke in alarm as my hands fly to my wallet, "But that is the most expensive tea house in Konoha!"

Dodging the dango stick she throws my way, I watch as a bubbly smile, makes its way onto her face as she replies, "That's the point."

Pulling out my wallet I sigh, staring at it gloomily, "We'll have to stop by the bank then."

Anko's expression turns smug as she grabs me by my battle kimono and shunshins us to the Hokage Tower. The two of us jump into his office via the window and the two of us quickly kneel before the elderly ninja.

"Why must you always come through the window?" Hokage-sama sighs as he places his pen down, "Either way, you are late. And so is Hatake. Again."

Anko snorts, "Is that really a surprise?"

The Hokage huffs with mild irritation, "True."

Hatake...? That sounds rather familiar. Hatake, where have I heard that before? Ah... Him. The one Gai-san is always going on about. The chronically late, genin team failing pervert. However I had heard that he passed a team from Iruka, who was going on about it in the chunin lounge last night. That means that... oh no. Please anything but that. I don't want to be responsible for a bunch of little brats!

A silver blur bursts threw the window as said copy nin lands on the other side of Anko, raising his hand with a casual, "Yo."

Just as the bingo books describe, a black mask covered the majority of his face and silvery hair sticks up in an alarmingly porcupine like fashion. He smiles, with his single obsidian eye closed as he radiates displeasure, "So why did you call me here, Hokage-sama?"

The Third sighs again and then passes a file to the silver haired shinobi, "Alongside Team Seven, you will also be given a Chuunin aid to help with any… unsavoury situations that may come up. The specific chuunin chosen for the task is Kamoto Setsuna."

Bowing the the silver haired man while hiding my mild confusion I say politely, "It's nice to meet you, Hatake-san."

Kakashi narrows his eye at me thoughtfully before shrugging, "May as well take on another cute student. This one looks like she'll be fun to tease."

Anko laughs and slaps me on the back with a grin, "No breaks here, Gaki. The sensible one is always left with the paperwork. By the way Kakashi, Setsuna here will do any paperwork or task you assign her with, so be careful when saying things jokingly."

"Why would you say that Sensei? Now I'll have to do your paperwork and now his. Why me?" I groan, glaring at the purple haired kunoichi.

She smiles gleefully as she winks, "Revenge part two is now in theaters."

The Hokage blows smoke out of his pipe, and looks at Kakashi curiously, "You're not refusing the chuunin aid? What a surprise. Then again, you never were of the predictable sort."

Kakashi smiles falsely, "I assumed that I didn't have a choice in the matter. After all, I didn't want poor Setsuna-chan feeling unwanted."

Sighing and then staring at me with the faintest amount of killing intent, the Hokage shifts his attention to me with a stern expression, "Chuunin Kamoto Setsuna, you are to protect Team Seven, while also helping to train them. I expect that you will do your best."

Tilting my head slightly I frown, "Why would you chose me over a more experienced Chuunin? I- Ah. It's because I was in their class before I was pulled out."

Allowing more smoke to roll out of his mouth the Hokage nods sagely, "Correct. They will be more comfortable with someone they already know. I also needed to place you with someone with a dojutsu, and I do not think you would take kindly to the Hyuuga interfering with Kamoto business, so Hatake was the only other option."

That makes sense. The Council wants me to perfect the *Mirai Kagami, the kekkai genkai my clan is graced with. Since Asuka and I are the only members left of our clan, and the fact that even with our bloodline it is rare, they wish for me to achieve *Wakkusa Ga Ke Kagami, which is the third form of our dojutsu. So obviously they wanted to put me somewhere I could learn more about eye jutsus. Other than Hatake, all the other dojutsu users are Hyuuga, and would likely try to take advantage of me politically. It seems like the Hokage really thought this through. I owe him one.

I bow again, "You have my thanks, Hokage-sama. I appreciate all the effort that you have exerted on my account. I will gladly take up the duty you have assigned me."

"All of you are dismissed, here's the paperwork for your transfer Kamoto-san." The Hokage says with a slightly irritated tone, "I trust you will have it back to me within an appropriate amount of time, unlike a certain silver haired jonin."

Scratching the back of his head Kakashi chuckles sheepishly, "Maa, I was lost on th-"

The Hokage interrupts him with a half hearted glare, "the road of life, yes I know. Now get out of my office, I have important things to do."

"*Hai, Hokage-sama." Kakashi says as he pulls out an orange book and quickly leaps through the window, followed closely by Anko who has a large grin on her face.

I step towards the desk and pick up the transfer papers. With a quick bow, I dart out of the window after my new superior, wanting to catch up with him before he disappears. If he can escape Maito Gai then he must be nearly impossible to track.

Landing gracefully next to Anko on the stone road I turn to the silver haired nin and bow again, "Please take care of me Hatake-san, I will do my best to be of use to you and the students."

He waves me off sheepishly, "Don't be so formal, just call me Kakashi-senpai or something. Anyways, I have some stuff to do so meet me on the roof of the Academy at eleven, okay?"

I nod, "Of course. If you need anything please feel free to visit me at the Kamoto Compound, I will be there for most of the evening."

He smiles, his eye closing happily, "See you tomorrow, little bunny," and then disappears in a puff of smoke.

Anko laughs and then pulls one of my mint green twin tails teasingly, "That's what you get for copying Tsunade-hime, Gaki!"

I huff at the violet haired ninja,"I wasn't copying her! I wanted to have my hair in twin buns but Tenten had them first, so this was the closest thing. Plus, my hair doesn't look like Tsunade-sama's at all."

The older kunoichi snorts, "I was just teasing, Setsuna. No need to get all worked up about it. Now that this is dealt with, I believe a certain chuunin owes me some dango. Come gaki, to the bank!" She exclaims, taking my arm and pulling me towards the merchants square.

Practically vibrating with excitement Anko pulls me towards the bank, "Do you know how long it has been since I went to Kazues tea house, Setsuna-chan? It feels like forever."

I grumble back with a mock annoyed expression, "Likely the last time you blackmailed or threatened someone. Unless of course it was Iruka-sensei. Oh? Is that a blush I see, Anko-chan?" My tone turning gleeful as she glares at me.

She scoffs as we enter the bank together, "Hardly. He's just so much fun to tease, like a little innocent lamb."

I laugh lightly with her as we walk up to the bank teller and turn my attention to the man standing behind the counter, "Good afternoon. My name is Kamoto Setsuna, and I would like to make a withdrawal from my account."

The brunette man with glasses nods, "Of course, Miss Kamoto. How much would you like to take out?"

I glance at Anko, "How much money do you think it will be? On second thought," I say, cringing from her impish grin,"Take out the ryo I earned from my last three paychecks. That should suffice."

"Identification and your bank card, please Miss Kamoto?" He asks as he uses the computer to access my account.

Pulling my wallet out of my pocket I place my ninja ID and my bank card on the counter. He quickly checks the both of them and then excuses himself to go fetch the ryo. Sighing, I internally thank the fact I never have to worry about finances. After all, I inherited a ridiculous sum of money and only have myself to spend it on. At least treating Anko like this wouldn't cripple me financially like it might for more unfortunate chuunin. In fact, I could probably take Anko out to the tea house everyday until I die, and I still would have plenty of money. I should really donate some to an orphanage or something. I don't really need all of this wealth.

I slide both of the cards pack into my wallet and then shove it back into my pocket, glancing back to where Anko is nearly bubbling with joy at the prospect of going to the over priced tea house. No denying it though, they surely made the best dango in all of Konoha. At least she has good taste.

The banker returns with the ryo I had requested and the purple haired kunoichi once again grabs hold of my black battle kimono and shunshins directly to the tea house and pulls me inside with an excited grin, "The dango is calling to me!"

I snort and roll my eyes at the over excited T&I expert as we both take a window seat and watch as a rather petite waitress with sandy brown hair walks up to us with a beaming smile. Passing the both of us a small menu she asks brightly, "Can I get you anything?"

"I'll have five servings of mitarashi dango, and some green tea," Anko cheerfully replies and then looks over at me, "What about you, gaki?"

I glare at Anko again, "Five? You really are trying to bankrupt me," I say with a sigh, " I'll have two servings of hanami dango, and a jasmine tea please."

Taking the menu back the black haired server nods and heads back into the kitchen, which is placed in plain sight of the dining area so we shinobi could keep an eye on those preparing our food. A trusting ninja is a dead ninja.

Reaching over and activating the privacy seal set on the table, Anko leans back against the booth and asks curiously, "So what do you think of your new placement, Setsu-chan?"

I shrug, and cross my arms on the table, "I am not sure yet. I don't know who will be on the team, other than Uchiha-san of course. Who else's team could Hokage-san possibly put him on? Actually, now that I think about it Uzumaki-san should be on the same team as him since Uchiha is rookie of the year and he's dead last. I would say Yamanaka-san for the kunochi since the clans are favored over civilians, but she is definitely slated for the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. So either the Hyuuga Heiress or the pink haired one."

"I pity you, Setsu-chan. Dealing with snot nosed brats for the next few years is going to be such a pain." Anko says, nodding at my analysis.

I smirk back, "Weren't you one of the ones selected to help with the Chuunin exams this year, Anko-chan? It seems like I won't be the only one dealing with the newbies."

She nods, "Yeah that's true, but it will be fun to scare the crap out of them. Hehe." Anko laughs as she picks up a bendy straw and sticks it to her hand using chakra.

Rolling my eyes I chuckle lightly, "Of course you would be looking forwards to that. You know, I personally think Ibiki-sama gets a kick out of scaring genin too. That's why he volunteers to help with the exams every time it's held here."

"Yeah, probably. That sadistic bastard would enjoy scaring the little midgets." Anko answered with a snarky grin.

As I begin to reply, Anko deactivates the seal as the waitress starts towards us, balancing a tray with our order. She places it delicately on the table and with another blinding smile- which was honestly starting to slightly annoy me.

Pulling the jasmine tea towards me I swirl my finger in the liquid, using my silver nail polish to check for poison. Confident that the drink had not been spiked by the lack of my nails not turning black I take a small sip as Anko tears into her dango. Speaking with her mouth full she looks at my nails approvingly, "Nail polish with silver in it huh? That's smart. I might have to use that trick too."

I shrug and say with a tired sigh, "It was something Asuka and I made up before she left."

She freezes and then looks at me apologetically, "Sorry, kid. Didn't mean to bring up bad memories or anything."

I wave away her concern nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it. I've already worked out all of my issues concerning her. She is an enemy of the state. Bonds before blood. Plus, you're the best sister figure I could ask for, even though I think you may be a gold digger." I end with a wry grin as she smacks my head lightly.

"You used to be such a well mannered gaki! What happened to you?" She asks jokingly as she the gulps down her tea.

Taking a bite of dango I mock glare at her, "You happened, Anko-chan. No one can hang around you too long without going a bit insane. Not that we all weren't insane to begin with of course."

"Of course." Anko sneers back jokingly, sticking her tongue out at me as she finishes off her dango, "Anyways gaki, I need to go pick up some paperwork from Ibiki before he bites my head off. I'll stop by to see how your day goes tomorrow. Try not to die without my awesomeness."

"Yeah," I reply with snark, "and try not to fall over that huge ego of yours, Anko-sama."

She pats my head as he stands up and looks at me with a proud expression, "I've taught you well, gaki. Now get some sleep and beat the shit out of your new students tomorrow."

I salute with a wink, "They'll never see what hit them. See you later."

She winks back and disappears in cloud of illusionary dango sticks, something we had messed around with to improve my genjutsu skills.

The waitress approaches me, slightly bewildered by Anko's disappearance and hands me the pill. I choke. 63 ryo? That is way too much for just a snack. Pulling my wallet out I handed her the amount and shunshin out of the tea house with my favourite genjutsu application: rubber ducks.

Stretching my arms and sighing I start walking home to get some sleep. I can already tell that Team Seven is going to be an absolute wreck. I am going to need all the energy I can get to bullshit my way through the mess that is inevitably going to pop up.

Anyways, I've been planning this story for awhile now and wasn't sure if I wanted to upload it yet. The reaction of you, lovely viewers will depend on how much I update. I have a few other projects to write as well so if this doesn't get that much of a following then I'll put up some other stories then a poll to decide which one I should work on the most. Anyways, I have most of the story for this planned, although when I was writing Setsu-chan decided to be a bit more sassy and sarcastic than I had planned. I may have to account for that in the future. Or maybe it's Anko's fault. Tsk, what a bad influence. Anyways, see you around.
