"Ugh, I really don't want to do it." Groaned a young man, rolling his eyes and running his fingers through his hair. His peach toned skin complimented his unnaturally white colored hair nicely, making it appear as if his skin was glowing.

"Enough, Kakashi," bellowed a beautiful middle aged woman, her golden long hair and stern hazel eyes glistening in the sunlight; her eyebrow twitching in annoyance at the man who still only seemed like a boy. "You are twenty three years old. I know you're famous around here and what not, but it's time you started acting like you care."

Scoffing, Kakashi turned his back to her and started walking away. "Fine," he waved his hand, as if to brush off her comment, "but it's not my fault if something should happened." He knew nothing would happen, as he had been a part of ANBU since he was still a child, and was known for being responsible. He just didn't want to watch four kids as soon as he quit. He had a life to start planning out before he wanted to begin instructing. "Great..." he thought bitterly to himself, pathetically kicking a rock aside as he walked down the path to the entrance of the camp, "now I'm going to be in charge of a bunch of twelve year old brats." He scoffed again. "That Tsunade is lucky she's the Hokage."

ABOUT AN HOUR LATER

"Alright," Kakashi half sighed. "What are your names?"

Right as the boy with short black hair and pale skin was about to speak, a boy with blond hair, blue eyes, and an obvious complete lack of manners jumped up and shouted, "Naruto Uzumaki, here! I love ramen and one day I'm going to change the world!" He was wearing an orange T shirt and dark green shorts.

Everyone stared at him in silence. Kakashi had no words for this seemingly hopeless child. "I didn't ask what your interests were... but moving on." He pointed to the boy that Naruto cut off. "You. What's your name?"

"Oh..yes... I'm Sai." The boy was very soft spoken, and so pale that it was almost like the sun was reflecting right off of his skin. He wore a black tank top that was almost too short, and black shorts with a red trim on the bottom.

"Sai." He nodded. What kind of a name is that? "And you?" He nodded his head towards the only female in the group, a pink haired girl with bright green eyes who kept staring at the kid next to her.

She didn't realize he had spoken to her. "Achem..." Kakashi cleared his throat obnoxiously loud, jolting her attention. "And you?" He asked again, almost in annoyance.

"Right! I'm Sakura Haruno! It's a pleasure to meet you!" She blurted out in embarrassment. She was wearing a red and white... was it a shirt? Or a dress? Kakashi didn't really know, nor did he really care. Regardless, it was long, and it had two slits on the sides to allow easier movement. She wore black knee-length spandex shorts underneath. Not very practical attire, but it could be worse, Kakashi thought to himself.

"Last but not least..." he turned towards the boy who had been seemingly uninterested in all of this, wearing a dark blue shirt and black shorts to accompany it. Well, by the looks of his face, at least I can say I know how he feels. "Your name?"

"Sasuke Uchiha." He stated coolly, not even looking up towards Kakashi's face. "And you are Kakashi Hatake, right?"

Kakashi was taken aback, although he didn't show it. This kid knows who I am? Come to think of it, he has the same family name as Itachi... He smiled gently and cocked his head to the side. "Yes, I am." He looked back towards the group as a whole. "I'll be your instructor." Little did he know he would be in charge of these kids for the rest of his life.

Just as he was about to state what the activities for the day were going to be, Tsunade and another young man appeared. This other person seemed only a few years younger than Kakashi, maybe eighteen or nineteen years old? He had layered brown hair that framed his face nicely, and big, dark eyes that seemed full of adventure. He was wearing Konoha's signature Jonin jacket and blue body armor.

"This is Yamato. He will be working with you, Kakashi," Tsunade let out a sly smile, as if she knew Kakashi would only be more agitated that he would have to work with yet another person. Yamato nodded curtly and let out a soft smirk.

"Nice to meet you, Kakashi Senpai."

Kakashi did a double take at the word "senpai." "S-senpai?" He stuttered, trying not to make it obvious that he was shocked. "But we've never-"

Yamato cut him off. "You were very popular in the academy, and in ANBU. All of us look up to you. It'll be a pleasure to work with you." He grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of his head out of embarrassment.

"Well I don't like it. Don't call me that."

"Sorry, Senpai."

"Ugh." Kakashi pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "Look, just don't get in my way, alright?"

Tsunade let out a boisterous laugh. "He won't be in your way. He's one of the best ninja in the village. He is one of the highest ranked members currently. Doesn't that remind you of someone?" She winked, acknowledging Kakashi's own accomplishments. Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"Alright, I will leave you to it!" She turned on her heel and started walking back towards the middle of the camp. "If you have any questions, I'll be in the camp head quarters." She waved as she walked away, looking back to smile at Kakashi. This will be interesting, she thought to herself as she continued down the path.

Awesome, Kakashi thought bitterly. Four kids and now this guy. Just fantastic.

"Kakashi Senpa-"

"I told you not to call me that," Kakashi barked.

"... What's on the agenda?" Yamato finished slowly.

Kakashi sighed heavily and pulled out a small book from his back pocket. This book was definitely not appropriate to have around the kids, but he figured they were probably all too stupid to read anyways.

"First, everyone will go to their assigned cabins and get their things situated. Then it'll be dinner, which is at seven, and then everyone will meet in the court yard for a bonfire and smores."

"SMORES?!" was the reply of all of the kids.

Yamato chuckled softly to himself and looked at Kakashi, arms crossed, one eyebrow raised, eager to hear his reply.

Kakashi closed his eyes for a moment, and then smiled softly.

"Yes, however I should mention that if you fail to behave yourself I will be sure to ban you from the court yard for the duration of your stay."

"EHHH?!" replied both Naruto and Sakura. Sai and Sasuke remained silent.

"That's right. Now go." Kakashi was over all of this already.

The kids ran off to their cabins, Naruto pushing in front of Sasuke and challenging him to a race to get to the cabin first. "You idiot! You don't even know where the cabin is!" Kakashi could hear Sasuke shout as they ran down the path.

Kakashi shook his head, and started reading his book again, forgetting that Yamato was still standing there.

Yamato stood with his arms crossed, tapping his fingers lightly on his biceps while looking Kakashi over. Never before had he seen such light hair up close, he had only ever been able to admire from afar. He was well aware that Kakashi paid him no mind, and therefore was not surprised when Kakashi didn't recognize him. He decided it would be best to act like they hadn't met before, anyways.

Yamato wondered if Kakashi's hair was naturally that light, or if it had been dyed that way, but didn't venture to ask. All he knew was that he wanted to be just like him; someone revered by the entire town. Everyone knew of Kakashi. He was almost jealous. Yamato could feel himself starting to become bitter, and shook the thoughts out of his head.

"So now what?" was all he could muster to say.

"Hmm?" Kakashi answered absently.

"Now what do we do?"

"Oh.." He closed the book with one hand and stood for a moment. "Well, I suppose since I'm stuck with you, we could go see who got assigned to be a counselor here and see what is it we are supposed to be doing."

"Alright." Yamato nodded, and started walking forward.

"Uhm," Yamato hesitated, "and where exactly is that supposed to be?"

Kakashi replied, "just follow me."
