Chapter 1
Taihei's POV:
"Taihei-kun," Shizune said to me, "Tsunade-sama said you need to give Kakashi and Yamato a summons right away, and that you are to take over team Kakashi for a period of five months."
"Yes, Shizune-san" I said respectfully.
After I had given Yamato his summons it was off to find Kakashi… I found him sitting underneath an oak tree reading Icha, Icha Paradise. I walked over and said "Kakashi-senpai here's your summons to Tsunade-sama, you and Yamato have a mission."
"Who will take care off Team Kakashi?"
"I will,"
"Are you sure you're up for the job? We have Naruto on that team."
"I'm up to it Kakashi."
"Good, because you have a training session in the Forest of Death in 30 minutes. Meet outside gate 1. Have a pleasant five months."
"I'm sure I will." I said as he walked away. Then I ran to meet with my new team.
When I got there the only one who seemed to be on time was Sakura Haruno, and Sai.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked me, innocently
"I'm your new team leader."
"But where's Kakashi-sensei?"
"He has a five month mission with Yamato. By the way, where's Naruto?"
"I don't know he's not usually late, but how old are you?"
"17, why do ask?"
"Thanks, but I don't think we need a seventeen year old looking after our team, besides Naruto and I are seventeen ourselves."
"Uhm, Sakura," Sai said, "He may be seventeen, but he's my boss in the Anbu."
"You mean he's Tsunade's right hand?"
Sai nodded, and Sakura looked queasy.
"Ahh, Naruto, You're LATE!" I said with very little emotion.
"Sorry, I had-"
He went into attack mode and brought his kunai to my throat or… To what he thought was my throat, but which actually turned out to be his own.
"Let's see…" I said ticking things off of an invisible clipboard, "tardiness and attacking an Anbu, leads to…" I calculated in my head… "15,000 push-ups!"
Naruto's jaw dropped when I gave him his punishment, "15,000!! HOW THE HELL CAN ANYONE DO 15,000 PUSH-UPS!!"
"Complaining makes it 16,000! I suggest you shut-up unless you want more!"
When Naruto got to doing his push-ups, I gave Sakura, a little work to do, as well as Sai. They had to make a chart on the Chakra system, and then after Naruto was done, I had them all do a survival test against me.
"Tell you what we'll do. If I lose, I have to treat all of us to a meal at anywhere you guys want for as much as you can eat. And if you lose the first one out has to treat all of us to a meal of my choice, for as much as everyone eats till their hearts are content."
Naruto's eyes lit up and he licked his lips. "DEAL!!!!"
We spread out and I was left in the middle of the forest of death with three ninjas hidden around me. I used my senses to find out where they were, and I threw a kunai to my right. Hitting Sai, I scoped the Area, and decided to go all out; I summoned my wild cats, and had them search the area. They found Naruto and I used Time-space-continuum to get exactly where he was. I knocked him out quickly with a few punches. Sai came up and tried to sneak attack me with his ink, but I knew too much about that, I got rid of him quicker than Naruto, then All I had to worry about was Sakura. Which probably wasn't too much to worry about.
All of A sudden the ground beneath me collapsed and Naruto Sai and Sakura came out at me, Ah so they used Shadow Clones. I used lightning clone jutsu, and took them out one by one. First Sai, then Naruto, and Sakura was a bit more challenging, I had never met anyone besides Tsunade who was almost as strong as me. Sakura threw punches and I used Substitution and held a kunai to the back of her throat.
"I guess you guys lose…" I said solemnly.
"Taihei-kun, how many S-rank missions have you done?" Sakura asked.
"198,"
"How many of them were assassinations?"
"All of them." I whispered in her ear. She turned around and kissed me passionately. I was surprised for a few moments, but then I had kissed her back with force. We kissed for so long I didn't catch who got up first.
"Wow!" I said amazed.
"Oh, sure! You'll kiss him but not me!" Naruto said loudly, that's when I punched him in the face.
