We met up at the rooftop again and walked to the Hokage tower. Hinatame-sensei lead the way and we just followed behind her. When we got there, Hinatame-sensei knocked on the door and heard the old man's voice say, "Come in."

"Hello, Lord Hokage, we came for a new mission." said Hinatame-sensei and bowed.

"Ah, yes, Team 13 you will be getting a C-ranked mission, due to an addition to the team." said gramps as he looked at me and then handed Hinatame-sensei the scroll. "You are to escort a client to Suna, safely."

A man around his 30s came from the door.

"This is your client." said gramps.

"These guys probably can't put up a fight." said the man.

"Now, now, Tsuzuka. These ninjas are fairly skilled and been ninjas for a year expect for a certain troublemaker here." said gramps.

I just smile sheepishly when everyone in the room turned to me. Then Naruto's team, I believe is Team 7, barged inside, well Naruto did.

"I'm sorry, Lord Hokage. Please forgive Naruto's rude manners." said a guy wearing a flak jacket and had gray hair, probably their sensei.

"Hey, Shitamo!" said Naruto.

"Hey, Naruto." I said. "Who's the old dude?"

Naruto's sensei's ear twitched. "I am not old! I am 26!" he said.

"That's Kakashi-sensei." said Naruto.

"Well, you look old." I said. "With that gray hair of yours, do you ever think of dying it?"

"Shitamo! I think that's quite enough." said Hinatame-sensei. I then zipped my mouth.

"Are you guys gonna talk me to Suna or what?" asked Tsuzuka.

We, by we I mean Team 13 and Tsuzuka, started walking out the door and left for our 3 day trip, we already packed since Hinatame-sensei knew we had to go to Suna.

When we arrived to Suna, we went to... well, I don't know where we were going but all I know what that we went inside a building that was like made out of sand in the outside. While we were walking down the halls of the building we were in, I saw this kid with red hair and light green eyes, maybe light blue, I couldn't tell. I looked at him as we walked down the halls, he seemed to give me a death glare. Why? What did I do to make him so mad that he gave me a death glare? I think he is one of those weirdos that are insane and stuff. We recieved our payment and started walking down the halls but Hinatame-sensei couldn't find a way out or where a person was, so when the red-haired kid passed by Hato asked how to get out of the building.

"You get out of the bulding by dying like all the others." he said, with an insane look in his eyes, but when I looked more closely I saw sadness and loneliness.

"Your crazy." said Hato. "I just asked how to get out of the building not how to die."

A blonde haired girl that had her hair in four pigtails. Hato walked up to her.

"Hey, lady. Do you know how to get out of here? Mr. Insane over there wouldn't ans-" he started but stopped when he turned around and didn't see the red-haired kid anymore. "Where'd he go?"

"Does he have red hair?" asked the blonde. Hato nodded. "He's my brother, I'm sorry for what he did or said. He can be insane sometimes. I'll show you the way out, just follow me."

We followed her and we were finally out of the building.

"Finally!" I said. "I thought I was gonna be stuck there forever!"

"C'mon, let's go." said Hinatame-sensei. "I need to report back to Lord Hokage."

We started to walk but I tripped then I saw sand around my right foot.

"What the...?" I asked, I followed the trail of sand and ended up with the red-haired boy earlier.
