Serenade of the Crimson Rose
Chapter 3: Danger in the Forest!
When they arived at the Hokage's home, they saw the Fourth standing on his balacony, looking out over the Village, his face appeared emotionless as though carved of out rock. They all landed next to him on the balacony with a soft thud of their feet on the hard wood flooring. Yondaime seemed not to notice them, but slowly he shifted his gaze towards Hayate.
"Are you the Sqaud assigned to me?" He asked, the question seemed directed toward Hayate, more then them as a whole. Hayate, merely nodded his head to him.
"Very well, I have an assignment for two of you." He paused as though expecting them to answer "There have been some strange activity in the Forest area near Orochimaru-Sama's home, I need you to check into it, as well as check with the Anbu in the Area and bring me a report" His gaze went back to the village, and Kakashi noticed something was weighing heavily on the mind of his Sensei, his brow furrowed underneath his white Anbu mask, then the Signal was given from Hayate and Susande and Obito headed off to the forest. Yondaimes face lightened a little as his eyes went to the mask of Kakashi, he smiled and slowly walked inside his home, the Anbu both to post on the outside of his door, their ears open keenly so to taken in any noise. Soon the footsteps of the Hokage were heard, his head poked out of the door and he pointed to Kakashi.
"Come with me please" he said, as he withdrew back into his home, he walked across the room and slumped his form into a armchair, they were out of ear shot of Hayate when he began to speak "So Hatake, how do you like it so far?" He asked a wry smiled coming to his lips as he could invision Kakashi's eyes becoming wide behind his mask. He tried to hide his surprise, after all this was the Hokage, nothing was impossible.
"Oh, so you know it's me Yondaime-Sensei, how? If I may ask" Kakashi asked, his voice was forced out, so that it seemed he wasn't surprised in the least, but Yondaime knew better.
"Well, I receive information on everyone who will be my bodygaurds, when I requested the two anbu to leave, I knew that they probably wouldn't send someone so new to the field out without supervision of the squad leader. So therefor that put you here" He smiled as he explained, Kakashi couldn't help but chuckle deep down inside.
" I see Yondaime-Sensei, So far, It has been more of a chore to me I-" He stopped short, he didn't want to seem ungratful or to complain infront of the Hokage. "I am sure, I will do fine in this position" He finished. Yondaime's smile brightened
"As I am sure you will also Hatake, now back to your post" he said waving a hand in the air to excuse him. Kakashi smiled and walked back to his post. Once outside Hayates gaze was obviously on him, and Kakashi was almost sure he would have spoke, but Obito and Susande had returned at that very moment, their bodies heaving as though they had lost breath.
"Hokage-Sama!" gasped Obito, as Kakashi and Hayate made their way towards the two. Within a few seconds Yondaime was back on the balcony, his brow furrowed with question.
"What is it? What did you see?" he asked as Obito put his hand to his Chest. He took a few seconds to answer "The tree's in the forest were covered with bloodly hand prints, Hokage-Sama..fresh blood, W-we followed them, and there become more and more, suddenly they stopped, and we had found ourselfs in a clearing.. we saw a figure in the trees sprint off, but it was too fast and we soon lost it, we couldn't find any Anbu in the area". Yondaime's brow furrowed further, but this time it was from deep thought.
"One of you take this information to Sarutobi-Sama" He said motioning to Susande, she then took off immediately flying fast across the rooftops towards the Third's home . "The rest of you, follow me" he ordered jumping off the balacony onto the nearest roof and sped off toward the forest area, the rest following at his heels.
