"It's vacation I'm suppose to find trouble.'Nauto tased Iruka bopped him o the head lightly stating.'Not the kind of dangerous troubel and please try to cotrol your trouble making skeem i worry about you.'

"Oh Iruka Sensei you worry to much."naruto replied thought he was tuched by the man's worry Iruka pulled him in a hug saying.'I need to get back to the academy and won't be able to see you before you leave so safe journey and promise me you will stay out of trouble."

"Well I promise to stay out of the dangerous kind.'Naruto offered Iruka smiling replied."I guess that is about the best i will get." before sayiong.'Hasve fun and relax but remebr when you thre get back I still want to talk about what happened on your mission."

Naruto face paled frowning he nodded he didn' mind talking to Iruka about it. It was just hard."

"Kep your spirits up naruto everything will work out.'Iruka promised Hugging the boy again he left them to pack.

Back at the hokage tower, Tsunade looke dtoward her window grunting.'Glad you showed up on time for once."

"I was hanging around figured i might as well come by ."Kakashi answered sitting perched on the window seal with his orange tatci book in his hadn reading.

"Thank you so much."She dryly replied saying.'I have a mission for you."

catching his attention he glanced from his book frowning he spoke.' I assumed I already had a mission one my team and I will be leaving for in the next hour has there been a change.' he questione putting his book away he jumped to stand i the room moving toward her desk.

Tsunade explained."Your mission still the same you will continue on to the resort for the next month I am just adding a personal mission for you to do.'

"Personal.' Kakashi one exposed eyebrow raised curiously.

"yes, it's sort of a mission to babysit.'

"Crossign his ams his brow arched further as he questioned.'Babysit who.'

"I am sending three extra children with you on you mission only they are not a part of the mission merely on vacation i want you to watch out for them make sure they stay out of trouble."

"Mind explaining further."Kakashi demanded lightly placing his hands on the desk he leaned in Tsunade roleld her eyes explaining.'Hinata chouji and naruto have been placed on leave for the next month and pending I am sendign them to the resort for a paid vacation i have already made the arrngement's and please give them these envelopes.'She handed him three very large envelope's Kakashi glanced at them then her asking."What is going on since when do genin get paid Vacation.'He questioned knowing here was more to this story.

"Since they have successfully completed an above average S-Class mission and survived it.' She declared.

"You sent three genin on a S-Class mission. 'Kakashi exclaimed a bit angry Naruto was his student he cared for him and to not be told about this beforehand irradiated him.

Settle down it isn't what you are thinking first of all it was suppose to be a simple C-Class escort only the Rai village deceived us."

"What happened he demanded." With worry.

"Naruto Hinata and Choji were to escort a large band of merchants to the rain village only the truth of it was it was an undercover escort for a princess from the star village she was to wed a villager to the rain to seal a treaty,but several villagers from the rock and the earth country revolted against it and Our three genin were caught up in a very large war it is a miracle they survived reativly unharmed,but Iruka came to me to request leave because they showed up last ight at his door nearly drowned from th rain codl as ice. They came to him because they were scared from it a lot of really horrible things happened and they were ot prepared for the emotional effect but worrie d Iruka th most is there was incident at the academy three student Starled them and they nearly struck them dead with Kunia knifes.'

This is serious."Kakashi stated.

'I realize that Iruka and I talked and we realize the memory is to fresh for them to explain everything that happened they need time to sort the emotions that is why they are going on vacation your mission is to watch out for them take note of any strange behavior we should be concerned abut ad make sure nothing happens you might want to warn your team about starting them .What I mean is yelling or shouting can set them off this isn't soemthign simple they witness true horror any genin there age would probably snap under the pressure."

"They should never have been there in the first place."Kakashi snapped now more concerned about his student's mental state."

"believe me if i had know they wouldn't have and I promise you any request with the rain village will be considered suspsious and will be ivestigated beforehand from now on."

"What about these envelopes.' Kakashi questioned.

That is their pay being as they completed the S-class mission successfully they will get the pay for on as well as a bonus for stay alive. Now there rooms for all of you have been paid for though will admit I may have spoiled the vacation brats a little I owe them that much for sending them out on a mission of death."She sighed feeling guilty.

Kakashi shook his head faintly smiling he replied.' If a month in luxury isn't saying I'm sorry I'm not sure what else could."

Tsunade laughed saying.' Oh alright I get the point,but still I owe them not only did they finish the mission successfully completely unprepared they also brought our village nearly a million extra n cash apparently the rain made sure we still wanted to be allies after what Naruto Hinata and Chouji had been through I thik they deserve some benefit from the payment.'

"can't argue there," Kakashi admitted asking.' Is there anything else." standing up he placed the envelopes in his pocket.

"Just one more thing Iruka mentioned naruto got ill this morning keep a close eye on him make ure he isn' oming down with anything I glance through his medical reords and well truthfully beside the fights and battle he has been in there not even oe bit of evidence he has ever been ill with any bug of any kind it could be the power of the fox imprisoned in him he has fast healing which makes me believe that brat could be sufferign more along te lines of mental exhaustion I want to know if he is so we can do something about it before it becomes a problem."

Kakashi nodded understanding he cared for Naruto he was his student a good friend fi there was something ailing him he wanted to do what he could to help him.

"Well, that' about it I seen Iruka inform them to pack he will tell them to meet you at th gate .'

very well I guess I should be going then.'

"Showing up on time Kakashi," Tsunade questioned with a smirk added in warning.' Be careful they might attack you thinking your someone else."

Kakashi just snorted disappearing through the window Tsunade laughing behind him.
