This is my first time writing a story so please be patient thank you

Who are you?

It was a grey November morning, squad 7 was training in the Leaf Village training grounds; Sasuke was training his chidori against a stone pillar, Sakura was sat reading a book, and Naruto and his clone were making his rasengan appear between them. They where all waiting for their sensei…

"Naruto ….. Watch out you knuckle head! You nearly stood on me," screamed Sakura

"Such a loser," hissed Sasuke wiping sweat from his brow.

"Hello every one I'm sorry I'm late but I was getting followed by a strange shadow so I took the long way round," said Kakashi their sensei as he sat on the gate of the entrance.

"YOU LIAR!!" screamed Sakura and Naruto.

"Why don't you just turn up on time instead of making excuses all the time?" questioned Naruto.

"Hey I got here, relax. Are we all ready for our next mission?"

"Yeah yeah I'm ready what we doing this time? Are we battling with big, bad ninja? Or saving a new village? What what?" asked Naruto eagerly.

"No none of those, it's even better," replied Kakashi.

"Wow even better? What is it?" asked Sakura.

"We're going on a recovery mission … some where in the woods is a scroll that was left by the sand village ninjas as a peace offering," replied Kakashi.

"That's boring…" snorted Naruto as he sat down with his arms and legs crossed. Sasuke walked over to join in the conversation.

"When does this mission start?"

"Right now, are you ready?" asked Kakashi. Sasuke sighed, placed his hands into his pockets and headed out of the training grounds.

"Sasuke wait for me!" Sakura shouted running to catch up to Sasuke.

"Come on Naruto it's a good navigation training exercise, all good shinobi need it"

"Yeah yeah I know I'm coming," huffed Naruto as he got to his feet and slowly started to follow Sasuke and Sakura out of the training field and into the surrounding woods. Kakashi stood there for a while then suddenly looked over his left shoulder.

(I can sense you but can't find you. Who are you and why are you following me?) He watched the trees swaying in the breeze then set off after his squad.

As they entered the woods Kakashi gave them the coordinates of where the scroll should be.

"Ok it's not a race to get it first Naruto…. But the quicker the better, ok guys?"

(Something's not right sensei seems like he doesn't want to be in the woods at all.) thought Sakura "Sensei what's wrong? Is there something out there we should be worried about?"

"What? No no it's fine anyway I'm here so nothing will happen," replied Kakashi. He set off towards the coordinates hands in pockets, looking down on the ground. Sasuke and Naruto were walking fast trying to outdo one another, Sakura sighed (I'm getting a bad feeling about this). She hurried to catch up to Kakashi (If things were ok why wasn't he reading his stupid book like he always does?) She looked at him puzzled he glanced at her for just one second then turned away again.

(If I tell them there is something in the woods that I cant trace then they will go into attack mode and that will make it worse. With three Genin running round looking for a fight its best I wait till I can make out what it is. Let's just hope I'm not too late).
