This is the original version of chapter 5 for Last One. Just didn't fit the story line any more but it's still a good one so I put it here. enjoy!


Another day passed, then weeks, months and then a few years. Now my little caterpillar is two and chatting as much as Naruto, maybe more so at times. For her age she is incredibly smart. She's already figured out how to arrange the cabinet drawers to climb on to the counter, most of her ABC's and open doors. She learned how to open them by watching me when she was one. Currently she was working on how to open the sliding door to the back yard.

"Aurora, what are you doing?" I asked from behind her, causing her to jump a bit.

"Outside!" she demanded and pointed out the window.

"No, not right now, Daddy has work to do. I promise I will when it's done." I sighed. I was dealing with what missions my team could do. Naruto had been complaining lately they where to easy and I was trying to decide what to do about it.

"No, out!" she whined and pulled at the door. "Fader pwease!" she pouted. I sighed and picked her up. "Come on, why don't we finger paint." I said setting her at the kitchen table and getting paper and paint for her out of the closet. She grinned and begin happily painting. Sighing I sat across from her and got to work on the missions and over due reports.

"Looky!" she cheered about ten minutes later. I looked up and gasped. She was covered in paint; her hair, her clothing and her skin. I nearly face palmed at not thinking about that fact. "It's me and you." She beamed. The only thing not covered in paint where her teeth thank god.

"Oh…wow, caterpillar…it's…beautiful." I said finally looking at the picture. It consisted of a green, blue and white blob and an orange and purple blob. "Is that me?" I asked pointing to the greenish one.

"Uh huh!" Her smiled widened, her face becoming a giant smile. "Dat's you and dats me!" she said pointing to the purple one. "It's for you fader."

"Aw thank you sweetie." I smiled, forgetting momentarily about the mess she made and how hard it was going to be to make her not look like a walking 'modern art' piece.


"Come on old man! Give us something more challenging!" Naruto shouted in the missions room. Again Naruto was complaining about a mission. I will admit it was a bit too easy, even for three Genin. "Chasing a cat, washing dishes…how are these missions?!"

"Naruto, all missions are important…" Lord Hokage said going off on apolitical rant that I spaced off on. I was thinking about how much crap I was going to get from Iruka for asking him to babysit last minute.


"I want to come!" Aurora had pouted.

"No Aurora, this is work daddy has to do." I said kissing the crown of her head. "Iruka will babysit you though." If he ever gets here…I had just called him and hoped he would. The only other person would be Anko and there was no way I was letting that happen.

"Yay!" She cheered. She for what every reason adored Iruka. I found him bland and a bit boring but he was good with kids. I heard a knock on the door and quickly opened it to find a very flustered looking Iruka.

"Kakashi, I swear…!" he stopped when my little girl ran and hugged his leg. "Hey there Aurora." He smiled as the beaming two year old.

"Hi Uka!" she giggled.

"Well, I must be off." I smiled and got out of there before he had the chance to kill me.


"Hear that?! We get to do a C ranked mission, believe it!" I heard Naruto cheer, pulling me out of my thoughts. I sweat dropped and wondered how that had happened momentarily.

"Your mission will be to escort Tazuna back to his home land, the land of waves." Lord Hokage stated. "Come in Tazuna." At that moment a drunken old man opened the door and stepped in.

"You're trusting my life with a bunch of brats?" Was the first statement out of the mans, Tazun's, mouth. I knew what was going to happen and grabbed Naruto, covering his mouth so no smart ass comments would come out.

"Nice too meet you…"


As soon as I got home a book was thrown at my head.

"Bustard! Ever do this to me again and I swear I will personally kill you!" Iruka yelled. I assumed Aurora was down for a nap or he would never say such things.

"I'm sorry, it was a last minute thing." I said putting my hands up in a innocent way. "But I have a favor to ask."

"Oh don't give that bull shit! I know you knew about it before then!" He growled. His face was bright red with anger at this point and I was scared to ask him to watch over Aurora while on my trip. "Fine…what now?" he asked crossing his arms.

"Well…my team and I have a mission." I waited for him to yell but instead he smiled.

"Want me to watch over your little angel? Alright." Iruka said in a way too nice way. "You owe me." He smirked. I gulped at that. I knew he had a reputation of making life a living hell if you didn't pay him back.

"Alright, name your price."

"Let me think it over. Have fun on your mission." He smirked as I went upstairs to pack. Now I was really scared.


Alright! Be ready for the next one! Action is about to happen and shit is going down! :)
