Chapter 4: Team 7 S-Rank Mission
"Yes Sasuke, you're the one I want to talk to. Come to my office." Taking their seats in the Hokage's room, Yagami took out the slip of paper and handed it to Sasuke. Reading the details, questions immediately began to pop out to Yagami.
"Who are these people? Why do they want to do this?" Yagami cleared his throat before explaining, "Call themselves the Shikigami Clan, or the village of blades. Down there lives the most corrupted swordsmen you can ever find. I was there during my training and an old fortuneteller passed me the note. Jealous of Konoha accomplishments, they plan on resurrecting some of Konoha's previous attackers and launch a full-scale attack. So I suggest we surprise them by attacking them first. I assume this will be your first S-Rank mission, but you can always back out…"
"No! I'll do my part for Konoha no matter how difficult the mission is! I'm tagging along." Sasuke insisted. Knowing that they cannot take on the whole clan with only the two of them, Sasuke suggested getting aid from his team but Yagami only needed two members. Walking to the academy training area, they caught sight of Kakashi training Sakura and Naruto. The Hokage called for them and told about the S-Rank mission he and Sasuke were taking. Sakura volunteered to help as the team can benefit from her medical and healing abilities. Naruto, haven't been on such a high ranked mission, was having high hopes that Yagami would choose him, only to hear the very words from Sasuke, "Why not take Kakashi-sensei along?" Naruto went into a complete shutdown; was the new Hokage going to choose him or not?
"Me? Nah, I'm too lazy to go on another mission, why not take Naruto along? He may be a bit rash at times, but he's got some pretty strong skills." Sasuke told his brother to give it a deep thought before deciding but Yagami immediately accepted the offer and promised to Sasuke that he would be watched under him. As they went back to their training, Yagami decided to seek an old friend. As he walked around the village, he caught sight of Jiraiya spying on some women in the nearby hotsprings.
"Hi, Jiraiya-san. Doing your research?" Getting a shock was the last thing Jiraiya had on his mind. He turned around to see Yagami wearing the Hokage's cloak. Staring in disbelief, he questioned, "Oh Yagami-san, so you're the 6th Hokage! What brings you here?"
"I have a favor to ask, I'll be leaving town for a couple of days and since you're one of the legendary Sannins, may I ask would you kindly take my role temporary?" Knowing he was the only reliable candidate, Jiraiya accepted the request. The next day, Yagami and Sasuke were standing at the front porch as they waited for Sakura and Naruto, who was completely dawned in a new outfit.
