"I could walk this fine line between elation and success,
but we all know which way I'm going to strike the stake between my chest.
So, "You have to prove yourself".
You'll have to prove it to me."
It was day like any other so why would Kakashi expect it to end any differently, Sasuke was returned to Konaha by Naruto, Sakura and Sai, and he was resting in the confines of a maximum security facility.
"Yo! Hatake!" A male voice called out.
"Yess..." Kakashi turned around finding himself face to face with Asuma sarutobi.
"Tsunade wants to see you immediately"
"Concerning what?"
"she said it was classified, so probably important"
"I see" Kakashi nodded and turned on his black standard issue Jonin sandals, and headed toward the hokages office pondering what she could possibly need to see him about.
Kakashi knocked firmly on the hokages door.
"Come in" the raspy hokages voice said.
Kakashi walked in closing the door behind him. Tsunade sat behind the desk with a fire engine red file on her desk. Her expression was one of uncertainty and seriousness. She signaled to him to sit down.
"Kakashi, what I am about to reveal must be taken seriously." She paused. "we have found someone suitable for gaurding the Uchiha boy, she is my niece...on my husbands side, shes a jonin in the village hidden in the clouds. I worry though about putting family in this position so I would inquire for you to help her seeing ass you and your team know sasuke best. Shes set to arrive tommorrow afternoon I would like you and your team to meet her at the gates."
"How will I help her if I myself am not strong enough to gaurd sasuke? and how will I know who she is if Ive never seen her?" He asked.
"Here's her file, the picture is from a few years ago but you will get the basics of her appearence, you know facial structure, hair and eye color and whatnot." She answered sliding the red folder to him.
He gripped the folder and stood. as he headed out the door, Tsunade uttered words that made kakashis throat dry anxiously.
"I'm trusting you Kakashi. Dont let me down."
