Chapter 1

Under the mid-autumn sunlight, the Hokage was reviewing the financial records of the village in his office. A figure suddenly appeared in front of his desk and bowed, "Hokage-sama."

The old ruler put down the scrolls and looked up, "Hmm, so you are finally here, Kakashi."

The Jounin straightened himself up and guiltily chuckled, a hand rubbing the back of his head, "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama."

The Hokage stroked his beard, and laid back to his chair. "That's fine, it was all within expectation. That's why I told you come two hours earlier. You are right on time," he told the dumbfounded ninja arrogantly as Kakashi glared back. He didn't quite like that idea of being read so accurately by others, not even the Hokage.

"So, what's up?" All the formalities disappeared instantly.

"You've been assigned to a new mission," the Hokage simply stated, picking up another scroll on the side of his grand desk. He unrolled it and read, "Capture the perverted criminal, who has been stealing women undergarments in the past three weeks after nightfall."

"..." Stunned by the job description, Kakashi was speechless for a while. His usually-sleepy eyes widened slightly, "Excuse me, Hokage-sama. But that's definitely a C-class mission, if not D!"

The man closed his eyes, ignoring the boy's complaints, and inhaled from his pipe. "In fact, that's a Class A-B mission. According to the report, the suspect is a quite skillful thief, possibly even a ninja," Hokage explained and handed over the report. "Here are the details, read it over."

"If the thief is that strong, let an ANBU take care of it," Kakashi was still unwilling to take the job. The seventeen-year-old Jounin mumbled some more about how a well-known ninja genius shouldn't be catching perverts.

"ANBU is a special assassination unit for missions that are more challenging than that of Class A," the Hokage stated as-a-matter-of-factly. "Too bad you aren't one."

"Just watch, I'll become one in no time," he snorted. Eventually, he took the scroll reluctantly.

Night fell. A hideous shadow sped through the alleys near Main Street East. The Jounin observed the surroundings sharply, making sure he had every inch covered. After waiting for thirty minutes, he started to become impatiently. Just then, he noticed a speedy figure jumped down from a roof.

'Not bad at all,' he acknowledged the smooth and skillful movements of the criminal. 'But I'm about to show you who's better.'

Immediately, he chased behind the figure. 'He's fast,' he thought. After a couple more blocks, he lost him. 'Damn!'

Just as he was trying to figure out what to do next, he heard a noise from behind. Someone was approaching him at high speed. He quickly turned around and prepared for the head-on fight. Several kunai were thrown at him in a flash. He blocked them easily with his own. 'So, he's really a ninja, huh? Good, we'll fight the ninja way.'

Kakashi performed numerous number of complicated hand seals within two seconds, and released a blast of fire toward his enemy, who jumped up and did a flip in the air. As he was about to land right on the Jounin, Kakashi took a step backwards and twisted his arms in a nasty way.

"OWwwww~~!!!" she screamed in pain.

"A woman?!" Kakashi was a little shocked. 'Why would a woman be stealing women panties?'

"Let me go, you perverted jerk!" she yelled, struggling to break free.

"Who are you calling a preverted jerk?" he asked, confused. "You are the one who's stealing bras and panties!"

"WHAT?" she could not believe what she had been accused of. "Why would a woman be stealing things like that?"

"I don't know," Kakashi finally let go of the lady as he started to realize that there had been a misunderstanding. "Maybe you are a..."

"Don't you even dare try to blame me for everything YOU did! Who are you trying to fool?" she pointed a finger at him angrily. "I'm bringing you to the Hokage!" She was about to attack again, but was stopped by his words.

"But Hokage is the one who sent me," he explained.

She gasped, eyes wide. "You...you mean...he was the one who sent you to ..." he nodded with his eyes closed, glad that she was finally catching on. But then she finished her sentence, "...steal underwear?"

Taken off guard, Kakashi shook his head violently. "No!! He sent me to capture the thief!"

The girl blinked, and her mouth formed a small o. "Oh."

"Are you trying to capture him too?" he asked.

"Yes, some of my friends were victims, so I decided to see if I can help," she explained, and held out her hand. "Uchiha Yukiko."

"Hatake Kakashi," he shook her hand casually. Yukiko recognized the name well. Hatake Kakashi was the renowned ninja genius who was the youngest Chuunin and youngest Jounin in ninja history.

"Ah, the famous Kakashi," she complimented, as the boy smirked under his mask satisfyingly. She tried to make out the features on the boy's face. Unfortunately, the moonlight was too dim.

"Well, looks like we let the real pervert escaped tonight, huh?" Kakashi yawned. "See you around then."

A/N: My first two Naruto fic were my first fics and now I realized how short those chapters were. Anyway, I hope this one would be more satisfying for you all. Please Review!!!
