Naruto walked alongside Sasuke and Sakura. All of rookie nine now known as the Anbu Elite nine has been called onto a big mission. All four Captains have been placed in charge of the mission. Naruto's team looked around. Everyone was gathered on the Hokages' roof. Everyone was in their uniform already. The mask coensided with each codename. Only the Captains remained standing, everyone else was kneeling. Kakashi, Shizune and Ibiki all stood behind the fifth hokage. Lady Tsunade was currently standing in front of everyone reading of the mission breifing and what to expect. The captains have already read the scroll and memorized everything. It was an just official sentiment.
"You're late Captain Kitsune, Lt. Raven and Medic Slug." Kakashi whispered as they neared close enough as to not desturb Tsunade.
" So it seems Kakashi. Why are you and Shizune here?" Naruto asked.
Kakashi lowered his book and shoved it into his pocket.
"I'm here to make sure no one easedrops on this breifing. It's need to know only and it's SSS class ranked." Kakashi said shrugging.
"I know. But if you ask me the hokage is just begging someone to easedrop holding this breifing on the hokages roof top." Naruto said shifting his mask. When he was in uniform he was a top knotch ninja and didn't hold his normal personality. Even Sasuke was suprised. Speaking of Sasuke, Naruto turned and looked at Sasuke as he had nudged him in the ribbs. He looked to where Sasuke was pointing and-
"Good evening Hokage- sama. Sorry for interupting you." Naruto formally apologized.
"Oh thats alright. Now what were you saying?" Tsunade asked looking like she was about to open his skull.
"Nothing Mil' lady. Just talking about what a nice day it is to be shipped on a mission in a distant land to protect a special little boy..." Naruto said not at all pleased himself.
"You have a problem with this mission Captain Kitsune?" Tsunade asked already knowing what his problem was.
"Your sending your strongest platoon on a genin or chuunin mission so soon after the war. Gee what ever would my problem be?" Naruto snarled quietly. Tsunade sighed. Naruto wasn't the only one to tell her of this. All the Captains have; Jonins; Chuunin and heck, even genin have told her it wasn't wise. But Albus Dumbledore was paying the village a fortune. The money would go to restoring the village and helping those in other lands with the after effects of the war.
"Captain Kitsune, hold your tongue. I am hokage of this village. What I say goes, is that clear!" Tsunade yelled.
"Yes Hokage- sama" Naruto grunted.
"Now as I was saying..." Tsunade said getting back to business.
Kakashi placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto let out a big sigh and gave Kakashi a nod of thanks. He motioned for Sasuke and Sakura to follow him to where they were supposed to be standing. Neji and the other two captains gave him a slight nod to acknowledge him, Naruto gave one back. When he got to his spot he stood at attention while Sasuke and Sakura kneeled.
Sirius folded his arms across his chest and bluntly said-
"Harry isn't going to like this"
Severus Snape rolled his eyes but didn't speak. The the Order of Phoenix was gathered in Sirius's house.
"Well it isn't just for him now is it? Dumbledore said the school as well." Tonks said with an attitude. She liked Harry, really she did, but his thinking that everything the Order did was to snoop, protect or in some other way had to do with him was getting old.
"She's right. All Dumbledore said was that he hired guards to guard the school and to keep a close eye on Harry" Remus said.
"Who's he hired anyway?" Minerva McGonagal asked.
"Some shinobi he trust. He was friends with the late Hoka- Leader of the village. The Shinobi have agreed to send there best shinobi on it. In fact Dumbledore has already gone to greet them." Moody grunted.
"Albus has hired assassins to guard- what was he thinking?" Molly asked frantically.
"Ninja, he's hired ninja. Their cold, rutheless and murderers!" a few other members voiced their objections as well.
"Please calm down. I'm sure Albus knows what he's doing" Kingsley said.
Dumbledore waited for a few minutes before four men wearing mask came out of the forest. Dumbledore almost shivered at his senses failing him. He couldn't hear them, nor smell them and even his sight seemed to be playing trick on him. The only thing that caught his eye was their mask!
"You are Dumbledore Albus?" the man with mad looking dove on the mask asked in perfect English, only with a destinctive Japanese accent.
"Yes I am Albus Dumbledore. I have come to escort you personally to the place I want you to guard. I thought there would be more of you..."Albus said.
"You take us for sight value?" Captain Beetle asked.
"No, not at all. I know what you shinobi of the hidden leaf are capable of. I was friends with Sarutobi- san." Albus said in explanation.
"I see...We are all captains in the Anbu Black op divition of the hidden leaf army. You need to understand Dumbledore-san, that an entire platoon of Anbu have been sent on this mission." Captain Kitsune said menecingly. Dumbledore stood shocked.
"Please hold your anger Captain Kitsune, i'm sure Dumbledore-san knows nothing of the events in our land." Captain Stag grunted.
Dumbledore nodded his head and turned around.
"Please, follow me and tell me whats happened." Dumbledore asked.
"Yes" Captain Beetle spoke. Kitsune gave the signal to follow them.
Severus Snape nor Minerva Mcgonagal had ever seen Albus's face go so pale. They were in Sirius's kitchen with the four Captains standing in the shadows.
"What's wrong Albus?" Moody asked.
"Sarutobi is dead..." was all Albus whispered. The captains noticed he didn't speak of the war, which in their minds was a good thing.
"What?" Moody eyes widen in shock. Albus nodded solemnly.
Albus had to take a few minutes to calm down, which shocked everyone.
"Captains this is part of the Order of Pheonix. Order of Pheonix please meet Captains Kitsune; Dove; Beetle; and Stag." Dumbledore said. The four Captains bowed slightly. The Order just looked at them.
"You look young...too young" Tonks said bluntly. Naruto looked at her and instantly laughed. Dove and Stag rolled their eyes.
"How old are you four?" Molly asked. The four captains looked at Dumbledore who had an 'this isn't going to go well' look.
"They will find out eventually" Stag said.
"Yes but perhaps it is best for them to get to know our abilities for a few months before we reveal our faces..." Kitsune said. The three other Captains looked at Kitsune in shock.
"Dont look so shock you bastards!" Kitsune growled coldly.
"Thats a great idea. lets do that!" Albus said quickly to agree.
"Albus!" Minerva said loudly half confused at why he was so quick to shield the age of the guards and half angered that she was being left in the dark.
Suddenly everyone noticed that the captains were starring out the window.
"Forgive me, I will have to catch up with everyone later" Kitsune said becoming serious.
"Everyone nodded in confusion except for the three other captains.
Kitsune left the kitchen and Stag sighed.
"If they could just stop fighting im sure Captain Kitsune could relax at least halfway" Dove murmered.
"Now...we need to descuss the layout of the school, the village and anything else you deem important." Beetle said. Albus nodded.
