This time around I uploaded 5 chapters since these are rather small... bear with me here!

I sadly, do own Naruto, or else I would have renamed it Kakashi!


White Fang, Lightning's Howl: The Secret of the Hatake Clan

Missing Kakashi

"Where's Kakashi gone to?" complained Genma, as he was given yet another S-ranked mission.

"None of your business," Tsunade snapped. "And try to get it done by the end of the week."

"But it's Monday!"

"Kakashi could do it –"

"So can you," finished Genma with a weary sigh.

This type of conversation had been going on for the past month. It was like bad déjà vu or even worse, some sort of glitch in his karma.

"I hope he's going to come back soon," Raido said. "There's been no breaks since he's left, and the Exam's started now…."

"I had no clue his workload was so heavy," Kurenai sighed, cricking her neck from side to side.

"It's kind of amazing we actually SEE each other," Asumo said, doulfully lighting another cigarette.

Gai frowned. "Without my rival, life seems to have lost it's fire…."

"Ch." Genma said, passing by. "When I see that lazy bastard's face again, I'm going to either kiss him with joy or bash his face in."

The jounins laughed. Then sighed.

Gai frowned. "Nobody's touching my rival – but me! I'll bash him in for you – our score is even at eighty to eighty right now…."

"He was joking," Kurenai said. "I think…."

Raido rose up to stand with Genma. "Got another mission, already?"

"Yep," Genma said, checking his straps on his pack for the last time. "I'm on my way out now."

"Good luck!" The jounins called as the senbon-sucking jounin sauntered down the street towards the gate.
