Chapter 1

Me and Gai's team have been summoned into the hokage's office. Once all of us are in the office, Tsunada begins.

"I'm sending team Gai and team Kakashi on a mission to pick up a scroll from the sand village." said Tsunada as she read a book on her desk.

"But Sensei, Yamato and Sai are not back from the last mission you sent them on." said Sakura.

"I know that, you will be doing this mission without them." Tsunada said not even looking up.

"Grandma, why are so many people going on this mission? We are just picking up a scroll!" Naruto wined.

Tsunada shut the book she was reading and looked at Naruto.

"This mission is very important. The scroll you are picking up contains information that is top secret." Tsunada said in a quieter voice.

"Top secret!" Naruto yelled in excitement.

"Shut up you idiot!" Sakura yelled as she punched Naruto in the head.

Tsunada laughed and continued "This mission has curtain rules you must follow. First you will take exactly 5 days to make the trip. Two days to get there, one day spent in the village, and then two days back. Next rule is don't attract attention. which means, no Jutsu can be used unless the group is attacked. And lastly, if anyone tries to take the scroll. Kill them without mercy."

Tsunada looked at everyone in the room. "Are the rules clear!?" She yelled.

"Yes!" We all Said in unison.

"Good!" Tsunada said with a smile. "Sakura, Naruto, Lee, Neji, and Tenten please step outside so I can speak with your senseis."

As they left, Tsunada gave Gai a scroll with a seal on it.

"This scroll will only open when it comes close to the scroll you are receiving. That way you know it's the real one." Tsunada said looking at Gai and me.

"This mission can not fail." Tsunada said very seriously. "Please be careful."

"Of course Lady Tsunada! You can trust that this mission is in capable hands, with us!" Gai said as he put his hand on my shoulder and did a thumbs-up with the other.

"I will not let this mission fail." I said as I shrugged Gai's hand off.

"Very well, you will leave first thing in the morning. You are dismissed." Tsunada said as she opened her book back up.

We walked out of the office to find our waiting students.

"Pack for 5 days, and be ready to go at dawn. We will meet at the main gate." I said as I pulled out Make-out tactics and started reading.

As I started to walk off I heard my Name called. It was Gai of course, so I kept walking.

"KAKASHI! Before we go home and pack, we should do a challenge!" Gai yelled as he jumped in front of me.

"No thanks." I said as I walked around him.

"But Kakashi! Our eternally rivalry needs to be fed! Only a good battle between two men will satisfy its hunger!" Gai said while running after me.

"My rivalry isn't hungry right now, but thanks anyways." I said as I continued reading.

When Gai caught up with me and grabbed both of my shoulders I knew I was in for one of his youthful speeches.

"We are in the springtime of our youth, my rival! We must cherish these youthful times we have together by facing off man on man in a heated battle! The rivalry must be fed so that it stays young eternally!" Gai said looking straight at me.

"Okay, what do you have in mind this time?" I said as I gave in with a sigh.
