Chapter 9

Kakashi glared at the wall in front of him. He was trying to come up with a way to get Tsunade to let him take care of Sasuke. He'd been sitting there for hours and still no solution. That was why the poor way had to be glared at for something it had no control over.

The masked man had a brilliant idea just then! He would go to Tsunade's office in the morning and tell her that the raven would be much happier at his house than he would at Iruka's. It had to work! With this thoroughly thought plan in his head, the Jounin headed to bed. In the morning his plan would commence.

Naruto sighed in frustration. He had been in the same spot in Tsunade's office ever since Shikamaru had dragged him here. Currently he was trying to convince the fifth Hokage to not put him in protective custody of the anbu. "But, Baachan! I know they're after me and all but I can defend myself! I don't need anbu to protect me!" "Naruto. I know that but the Akatsuki are very dangerous and most likely will kill you for the Kyuubi."

" I do not wish to see you dead, for I think of you as my little brother. I can't stand to see another person I care about dead. You will be in the custody of the most skilled anbu in the force, even if I have to drag you there kicking and screaming. That is the end of our discussion." "But-" "No buts Naruto!"

Naruto couldn't be in custody of anbu! He had to make sure he would be able to protect Sasuke from his brother! Cause if he couldn't then Sasuke would be taken away from the village and then he couldn't see him ever again! Naruto couldn't just let someone take his best friend away without a fight.

"Fine." As soon as that one word left Naruto's mouth a plan of escape was forming itself in his mind. "I'm glad you see it my way" Tsunade stated pleased with Naruto's complience. "Go gather your things from your apartment and I'll send for anbu." "Okay Baachan" The whiskered genin hopped out the window and raced to his apartment.

Tsunade called for Dog and Cat to take her otoutou in to custody. When that was finished she picked up her sake and once again started on the never ending paperwork that somehow found its way from the trash back to her desk.

A/N: I'm sorry it's such a short chapter but until I'm done with this week of school the updates will be short. Sorry. R&R
