"Same story, new beginning."

Chapter 4

"Rin. Need I say more?"

#Rin's POV#

I was not amused after hearing the latest news leave my sensei's mouth.

My friend and oldest comrade Obito Uchiha has just been captured.

Again.

Not only that, he also dragged his entire team down with him. I'm actually surprised the kids are still alive at one point. I thought shaking my head. That dummy can't light up a lamp with a switch without getting himself burned or electrocuted and jet Minato sensei gave him the most unstable genin squat ever since the three sanin's. Yeah I failed to see logic in this too.

"And what am I supposed to do about this sensei?" Of course I know the obvious answer. I'm going to have to save his butt again aren't I?

My sensei only gave me his infamous "mischievous" grin.

"You're going to leave immediately after I explain the situation to your partner." Wait…I had a partner in this?! I wonder who'd that

Crash!

"Oh my glorious leader! I apologize deeply for the destruction that I've caused! I'll pay for it with all my youthfulness!" My eyes went wide at the sight of the village's most popular talking migraine dressed up in green spandex. You. Can't. Be. Serious!

Unfortunately for me…yes they were serious.

"It's about time you showed up Gai." Minato-sensei smiled at him. "I have a mission for you and Rin."

"Most glorious leader!" Here comes the headache! I cringed. "I'm most honored by your request! I give my humble promise that I'll do my best!" Then I was blinded by his infamous super grin. "I'm incredibly honored to be your partner oh beautiful Rin." God I wish I had my sunglasses. I thought nodding my head in a greeting.

"Okay enough with the greetings you two." Minato sensei said getting our attention. "I have a special plan I would want you to follow." We leaned closer to him. "As you know Team Seven has been captured by two individuals: The Silver Fang of The village hidden in the mist and the Demon of the Hidden Mist." I snorted. Way the go Obito. To get captured by two people. That's just embarrassment to the whole Uchiha clan. I thought shaking my head. "Now the thing is the first guy I told you about is the Mizukage's son." Sensei said but Gai interrupted him.

"You mean Sakumo Hatake's son oh so wise sensei." Yes you heard right. Because of not having enough taijutsu teaching people that could stand his "youthfulness" Gai was placed on our team.

Minato just gave him an irritated glare. "I know who his father is Gai now will you let me continue?"

Oh please do. I encouraged him with the move of my hand.

"All right then. What I want you to do is go undercover. Your role Gai is to befriend him. Pretend to be a lost rouge ninja who abandoned his gang and wanted to find a place to call "home"." The taijutsu master nodded firmly letting the Hokage know he understood.

Sansei then turned to face me.

"Your mission my dear Rin is to seduce him." He said with a grin.

Say WHAT?!

"But Hokage-sama why?" Wouldn't it be easier to just free the knucklehead and his team when the guy slept?

"Because you need to make him drop his guard enough to free Obito and his kids. He's the son of the White Fang so I expect him to be highly trained. As a ninja myself I can tell it's hard to louse focus on a mission. But with you playing the "lost, frightened puppy" role he'll have no choice but to pay attention to you." So my purpose was to get the kid to develop a crush on me. I smiled. That shouldn't be hard. A lot of men send me love letters every day! Take for instance yesterday: I found 4 letters from Obito, 3 from Genma, 2 from Jiraya (distuuuuurbing) and hell even one from Asuma who everyone knows has a crush on Kurenai!

"So what's my story sensei?" I asked to break the silence.

"Your name is Meiko Inara and you're a kunoichi from the Hidden Lock village. Your rank is chunin. After failing to complete the jonin exam you decided to quit being a ninja and left the village. On the way to your grandmother that lives somewhere in the land of Water you were attacked by a group of assassins and taken hostage. But you met Gai here and managed to convince him to free you so you two ran away together."

I nodded. The story wasn't a masterpiece but I can work on it on the way there.

Minato then turned to Gai.

"Your name on the other hand is Tobi Caiden and you're a rouge ninja from an assassination group of rouges called "The Black Fingertips." And…" He paused to glare at us for we are trying our best to contain a laugh. "What?!" He yells annoyed.

"Really sensei?" I manage to choke out. ""The Black Fingertips?!" what, was the name "Black toenails" already taken?" I laughed at his pissed of expression. Darn it! I'm turning into Obito!

"No you're not." An angry voice in my head snarled. "Only you can come up with something so lame and expect somebody to laugh at it."

Oh yeah, did I mention that I'm a jinchuriki? I didn't? Oh…sorry. Anyway now you know. How did it all start? Well we were on a mission near a bridge during the war. Sensei told us to stay put but Gai and Obito decided to turn the mission into a challenge and see who can kill the most enemy ninja by the end of the day. I tried to talk some sense into them but my words fell to dead ears and before I knew it I was captured by the enemy but used me as a host for the three tailed demon called Isobu. The pesky ninja wanted to use me as a weapon but Minato-sensei and a bunch of other sealers managed to seal the turtle demon before it went rampage.

"Well if you don't like the name we can always use the substitute." My attention snapped back to my mentor. ""The Fluffy Huffy Puffies"".

The intensity of Gai's glare was almost visible.

"No need oh glorious leader." He answered his voice low. ""The Black Fingertips" will do."

Okay! Now with that problem out of the way let me continue. Before the boys freed me Obito got his clans ability the sharingan the stupidest, most ridiculous way possible.

From what I heard from sensei, when they were searching for me Obito fell and some dirt fell into his eyes. When he rubbed his eyes to get rid of the dirt they got so irritated he somehow activated the sharingan.

Obito's reaction: COOL!

My reaction: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

Seriously the only way this could be more ridiculous if that happened when Obito was making pancakes and some oil splashed into his eyes.

I snort. I wonder what he would tell his kids. You want to know how I got my cool eyes kiddies? Well it happened during a faithful breakfast time when…hey what's with the long faces kids? You didn't seriously think I got it in the middle of the battle did you?

"Will you STOP thinking about that guy?!" Isobu's angry growl echoed in my mindscape. "I'm TRYING to take a NAP so shut UP!" Yeah…as you can see big guy and I don't quite see eye to eye. "And STOP thinking about me will ya?!"

He is so lucky he's somewhere I can't reach him or I'd be having turtle soup for dinner today.

"I HEARD that!"

I THOUGHT you were ASLEEP!

Luckily Minato-sensei's voice blocked out whatever the demon responded.

"So are you willing to let me continue or do we have to change something else to?" The blonde Hokage asked glaring at us with his sky blue eyes.

"No need sensei." I replied with a smile.

He nodded. "Good. And you Gai?"

"I do not have any problems with your plan oh wise Hokage." The spandex wearing ninja replied with his thumbs up.

"Alright then. As I was saying: you left your home village Konoha after being experimented on by Orochimaru and joined the "Black Fingertips" after they recued you from the ANBU that were sent to by the Hokage to ensure the village's secrets didn't get to the wrong hands. You pretend to be dangerous and to have a strange liking to injure people but deep down all your looking for is for a new place to call home."

When he finished he handed us the scroll and with the rushed into the young night towards the target called….er…

"Hey Gai?" I asked jumping right next to him on the tree branch. "What's our target's name?"

He rubbed his fingers against his chin and made an 'I'm-thinking-about-this-real-hard' face before answering.

"I believe his name is Kakashi my dearest Rin."

I smirked. Scarecrow huh? I smiled to myself. Something tells me this guy I'm gonna like.
