After a couple of days of travel, they have finally arrived at Iwagakure border. The tall imposing stone walls were visible from where the team was resting. Traveling through the mountains have taken a toll on them, and they were using this brief period of rest to recover from the journey. While the rest of the team was resting, Kakashi who was appointed team leader before they began their journey, is writing a mission report. Telling the Hokage that they have reached the village.
Once he was finish,he rolled up the parchment and put it in his Jounin vest pocket. With his hands now unoccupied, he quickly did the hand signs of the dog, the boar, the bird, the monkey, and finally ending with the sign of the ram. He slammed his left hand on the ground, while saying "Kuchiyose no Jutsu."
Strange kanji letters appear around the area where he slammed his left hand. What follow was a puff of smoke, and once the smoke clear away; a small pug is seen sitting down where the summoning array once was.
"Hey Kakashi, what can I do for you" the small pug asked.
"Hello Pakkun, I need you to deliver this letter to the Hokage" Kakashi replied as he reached into his Jounin vest pocket, pulling out the letter.
"Oh. You want me to deliver a letter to her."
"Come on, don't be so silly, she isn't that bad."
"Kakashi did I ever mention that you're a terrible liar?"
"Maybe, I probably wasn't even paying attention when you said it. Oh, come on don't give me that look. How about I buy you a nice juicy steak if you do this."
"No you weren't"
"It the thought that counts, right?"
"Fine, hand it over" Pakkun grouchily responded as Kakashi handed him the rolled up letter. He picked up the letter with his mouth and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. With that done, Kakashi turn around to face his team and immediately sweat drop at the sight.
Gai was doing push up while proclaiming that if he couldn't do a thousand push up before the break was over, then he would run around the village ten times. And if he couldn't do that, then he would run around the entire country in one day. If he failed to do that, then he would walk back to Konohagakure on his hands while balancing a boulder on his feet. Finally having enough of his rant, Anko kick him, sending him flying to the nearby tree.
"Isn't that bit too extreme" Yamato asked.
"He was starting to get on my nerves with his ranting. Why do you have a problem with that?"
"No, no. I perfectly understand."
"Good" Anko replied with a sickly sweet smile.
"Troublesome woman" said the pineapple shape head member of their team.
"Oh. Do you have a problem with me Shikaku" Anko asked with a dark aura surrounding her. Instead of replying, Shikaku merely continue watching the clouds, while thinking how troublesome this mission was. Ignoring the drama that was unfolding in front of him, Kakashi turn to face the other two members of his team. Hana was feeding her dogs, while Yugao was keeping watch from the top of a tree. Making sure that they won't be ambush by bandits or enemy shinobi. Seeing that her leader was staring in her direction, Yugao jump down from the tree and approach him.
"What is our goals now?" she asked him. After making sure that his team was paying attention, he responded.
"We are going to enter the city by climbing over the wall."
"Can't we just walk up the wall or go through the village gate" Anko asked.
"Afraid not. The gate has a sealing array, that prevents unidentified personal from opening them. And we can't punch a hole through it because of the same sealing array, strengthens the stone making it nearly unbreakable. The wall is a recent addition to the village defense. It was built after the Third Shinobi World War. It is strengthened by the same sealing array, and it is covered with chakra sensitive paper bombs. So, if we were to walk up the wall, the chakra that we are sending to the soles of our feet will activate the paper bombs. That is why, we have to climb over the wall."
"How are we going to climb the wall, if none of us brought rope" asked Yugao.
"Can't Yamato use his earth release to raise a platform to take us over the wall" Hana asked.
"No he can't." Shikaku replied.
"Shikaku is correct. The paper bombs has a detection radius of fifty feet and using a Jutsu like that within the detection range will set off the paper bombs. And the paper bombs have a long explosive radius. We also can't use summons to get us over the wall since they use chakra to maintain their presence in our world" Yamato said.
"Isn't such a defense counter intuitive, since their shinobi won't be able to use chakra near the wall" Hana asked.
"No, the paper bombs detection radius is only on this side of the wall. The other side is safe, meaning that they can use chakra without worrying they will set off the paper bombs. Also the paper bombs can be deactivated" Kakashi replied.
"Can't we set them off from a safe distance and then walk up the wall once all the paper bombs has been set off. Also how do we know that they are even activated" Anko asked.
"The reason why we know that they are activated, is because the Earth Daimyo sent in his own men to discover the reason his shinobi village has fallen silent. The second they tried to walk up the wall they set off the explosive. Their remains were found by the second group that the Daimyo sent. The reasons why we can't just set them off, is because not only is that dangerous; it is also pointless. The sealing array replaces any detonated paper bombs. Whoever designed this seal was certainly a master" Kakashi answered.
"That bring us back to the problem. How are we going to climb the wall without any rope" Yugao asked.
"Don't worry, I will run back to Konohagakure and retrieve us a rope" Gai exclaimed as he prepare to run back to the hidden leaf, until he was stopped by Kakashi.
"That won't be necessary, Gai for I already brought us a rope."
"Ah! I should have known that my eternal rival would have come prepare. But I will beat you one day Kakashi."
"Did you say something?" Kakashi asked as Gai face faulted.
