The wind blew down across the hills and through the trees of Konoha, a single leaf blew down and landed on someone's hand. He had been training out in the woods for hours, White hair drenched in sweat, toned muscles aching and exhausted, mind and spirit at their limit from chakra exhaustion. Leaned up against a tree he Looked over the leaf A good omen I hope He tucked the leaf into his jacket pocket and slowly rose to his feet. He made his way along the trail back to Konoha, wondering if he had pushed himself hard enough As he entered through the gates of the village every person instantly recognized him, and either smiled or nodded to him. He could hear people whispering about his and his exploits. hmph am I ever going to be as good as everyone thinks I am ? He made his way through the village to his apt and stumbled into his room after taking a quick shower in an effort to relax his muscles, he collapsed on his bed. He awoke the next morning to find a scroll with the hokages seal another mission so soon? His mission this time was to protect a high level government official, this was an elite mission , which would require about 6 other jounins against an assumed 9-12 opposing ninja's ,unfortunately it would only be him and two other jounins going because of the drastic shortage of Ninjas lately. The lack of teammates worried him until he read their names, Heh with the 3 of us this should make things about even. After he had dressed and prepared for the mission he walked to the door and noticed the other door to this 2 bedroom apt closed still, smiling to himself he reached in his pocket and placed the leaf on the table ,and then he was gone .As he approached the gate he noticed the two other jounins waiting for him. With nothing more then a nod they followed him into the woods towards their destination.
Later that night deep in the woods Konoha.
The ground was riddled with destruction, kunai lay sticking in the ground and shuriken in trees, Huge mounds of sand of shield and scorched earth from explosive tags. Three ninja of the sand sat crouched behind a bush, wondering what had happened, how their mission could have gone so wrong. The captain of the 3 muttered under his breath "damn it this was supposed to be a simple assassination mission" Yet the team of 9 that they had brought was down to 4 the three in the bushes and the female ninja writhing in pain, bleeding to death in the open ground. On of the ninjas whispered "we have to help her" the captain grabbed the man "If you want to go out and get her go ahead but I am not going where they can see me" They knew why she wasn't dead, she had been left as a trap for them, hoping that they would go out to save there fallen companion. If they wanted to save her then they had to expose themselves. The captain knew that the mission had already failed, by now the one leaf jounin had already escorted the target to its destination. The captain muttered to his remaining squad "we might as well leave while we can". the other men protested " But what about her? We cant just leave her" the captain laughed "if you really want to save her your on your own…im not dying here today" and with that he was up and running away from his comrades who where left stunned. The wind whistled through the leaves and the captain stopped in his tracks. Out of the shadow of a tree stepped the white haired leaf jounin " I can respect you realizing when you have failed your mission , but even if your mission fails you are still responsible for the lives of your team". The white haired ninja snapped his fingers and another form dropped between the two other sand ninjas still hiding in the bushes. The other leaf jounin smiled as he stopped his kunai just short of their throats "should pay more attention". The white haired jounin raised his hand and released the Genjutsu in place over the 3 sand ninjas. Seeing through new eyes the sand captain looked back at the open area and noticed the female ninja had long been dead. "We are efficient not cruel" the captain turned back to the white haired leaf jounin in front of him, and growled "you bastard, how dare you!" The calm leaf jounin had heard enough…"ME! Im not the one who not only abandoned my dying teammates, but also left his companions die as fodder while he ran…." he drew a short sword from its sheath on his back as he spoke focusing chakra into his hand and through the sword. "and as a captain myself" The sword began to pulsate with unusual chakra and was soon visible flowing around the blade "that I CANNOT forgive" The captain of the sand ninjas eyes widened with fear, he turned to see his two teammates already dead. The other Konoha Ninja whipping his kunai clean "Its not me you should be paying attention too….its him you pissed off" The sand captain turned back to the white haired ninja short sword glowing with chakra. "…White chakra….you cant be him…..no you cant be…" He stammered as he fell backwards. . The air around the leaf jounin crackled with energy as he disappeared before the sand captains eyes, his eyes danced around as he tried desperately to locate him. He scrambled to his feet to run and felt the hair on his body stand up. He turned around surprised to see the white haired ninjas back to him, he reached for his kunai pouch, only to have his hand shocked and snapped back when it came into contact with the kunai. The other leaf ninja nodded to his friend and jumped away into the trees. The white haired ninja turned back to the sand captain " Oh….it usually takes awhile for the heart to stop beating, the charge from my chakra keeps the heart beating for awhile " the captain looked confused "what ?" the leaf Ninja calmly tapped his chest as if to show him where to look.. The captain looked down to see a hole in his jacket soaked in blood. His vision started to go black as he fell , the captain laughed "haha… no wonder….we never stood a chance against Konoha's White Fang.
Sakumo returned to the village with cheers and waves from the towns people for a successful mission, he returned to his apartment to find the door next to this room open. Leaning against the door jam was a small white haired boy "tell me about your mission dad " Sakumo smiled " haha alright Kakashi but then straight to bed its late"
