Kakashi Hatake, of the Sharingan. Known in the Bingo Book in the past with an A ranking. That, though, had since upgraded to a S rank since he got rid of his slacker personality and began to show how deadly he truly was. Taking over the Hidden Leaf Village, at Lady Tsunade's request, he became one of the most feared Hokage second to Hashirama himself, even surpassing Minato Namikaze for his use of his Sharingan. There was only one thing rumored to take him down. And that, single monstrosity, was the bane of all kages...Paperwork.
He sat there looking at it with his Sharingan, hoping the Paper would be caught in a Genjutsu and complete itself. Ever since he disbanded the Council and replaced it with only one person from Each clan and allowed the civilian's to "elect" a leader, the paper work seemed to double. Some of it, mainly about sixty percent, was burned due to the fact it asked for the revival of the Civilian and Shinobi Councils. The other forty percent, the ones he couldn't ignore, had to do with the day to day running of the village.
A knock appeared outside the door as he lifted his hiate and removed a single kunai from the bottom of his desk.
"Come in." he stated easily, not belying that he was prepared for what would come through the door.
"Calm yourself, Sensei, I can smell the anxiety from almost a mile away." A familiar voice rang through the room. Kakashi couldn't believe his lone eye, but his Sharingan detected no Genjutsu as he looked at the man before him.
'Wow, he's grown up...Almost Looks a little like Minato-sensei.' he thought to himself. "You're looking well Naruto. The Bingo Book doesn't do you justice now and days." Kakashi replied.
"I know right, I tried multiple times to get them to change it but, considering the fact that Every time I pop up somewhere, someone has to die, I try not to make it a habit of showing myself too much." Naruto stated grinning.
"Lame...Just, Plain lame Naruto." Kakashi stated as he placed the Kunai back under the desk and hid his Sharingan once again. "I'm guessing Jiraiya and Sasuke informed you of why we want you back in the village to help with a problem?" Kakashi asked.
"Not a clue, they said something about Akatsuki or something. I heard about them, and how they're tracking down Jinchurikis but I don't feel them to be a threat to me." Naruto replied.
"That's because you too cocky now and days, Baka." Sasuke gritted out. Naruto looked at him a bit uncaring until he closed his eyes and inhaled.
"Not my fault I'm just that good." He stated. He then held up his hands, still bound, "You guys gonna cut these now that we're here?" He asked. Sasuke removed a kunai and cut the ropes. "Thank you." he replied. "So this, Akatsuki...you Guys don't have a Jinchuriki any more, what threat are they to you?" Naruto questioned.
"Gaara. He's the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand village now. He's their primary target. Gaara needs to be protected and while he has a whole village protecting him, it's not enough. It took you guys a while to get back from the training trip, so you might not know, but we received word from the Hidden Sand that Akatsuki attempted to kidnap him a few days ago." Kakashi replied.
"Luckily, we had to go through the Hidden Sand before we came in contact with you, so we were able to foil the attempt, that's why we seemed a little beat up. Those Akatsuki are no joke." Jiraiya responded.
"Ok, so the Sand needs Konoha's help. What does that have to do with me?" Naruto asked once again. "I understand that I'm a Jinchuriki, and using me as bait is a DUMB idea because if they've seen my record they're bound to send three or four after me." Naruto stated.
"Not likely, the Akatsuki's numbers are thin, they can't afford to stretch that many out, they'll send their strongest, and that's probably the Leader. I haven't been able to obtain the identity of the Leader, but I've heard things about him. They call him 'God'. " Jiraiya stated.
"There are no God's in this world." Naruto said while looking down. "Besides, if they're calling him a God, then there must be a reason why." he asked. "Any details about him?" Naruto asked.
"You know of Hanzo the Salamander correct Naruto? You're a book smart kind of guy?" Jiraiya asked. Naruto nodded and Jiraiya continued "Well, during the prime of us Legendary Sannin, Hanzo was able to take all three of us down, and because of our battle, he bestowed us with the title of Sannin. " Naruto chuckled for a second.
"You mean to tell me, you guys went three on one against this Hanzo character, lost, and became known as the Legendary Sannin because of it!?" Naruto was full blown laughing. "And they say Tyrants don't have a sense of humor. You've been carrying around a second place trophy as a name!" Naruto laughed.
"Damn brat..." Jiraiya fumed. "Hey we had to get through a WHOLE army before we got to him!" Jiraiya let out. Naruto calmed down on his laughter.
"Don't worry Jiraiya, I'm only joking. Besides, I didn't have much of a sense of humor as a child, not after the Mizuki incident any ways." Naruto reminded. An eerie silence swept over the office before Kakashi spoke.
"Any ways, we need your help to stop the Akatsuki. The power of the tailed beast are nothing to laugh at. And any organization looking for them can't have a world friendly goal. No one collects power just to save it. Orochimaru was a good example of a power hungry shinobi." Kakashi reminded. Naruto nodded.
"I have my own rules about power and what comes with it. But that's a different story for later. So you need my help with Akatsuki. After that, I'm free to go? You're not going to try and hold me here against my will are ya?" Naruto asked leaking a little bit of chakra. The room felt as if it was getting denser. It became slightly hard to breath as Kakashi's single eye widened.
'Such unbelievable Chakra...It feel's human but it's way too overwhelming.' Jiraiya thought to himself.
"It would be bad for you and the village if somebody was to try and forcibly restrain me. I may have forgiven the village for how it treated me long ago, but I have not forgot, and I will not let my guard down. There are still some of you I treat and trust as friend. But know this Kakashi. If they try to harm me, or come off wrong to me, they'll be brought to you in a body bag." Naruto stated as he folded his arms. "I'll try not to make a habit of it though." He said with a smirk as he eased the amount of chakra down to a minimal amount before it dissipated all together.
'What...was That..' Sasuke was thinking to himself.
"You won't have to worry about that anymore. After you left, somebody..." Kakashi looked at outside the window and a fleck of pink hair hid behind a part of the building. "Let it slip you are the son of the Yondaime Hokage. There was a minor incident with Iwa but that's water under the bridge now." Naruto turned his head to look at the window.
"Busted, Sakura." Naruto let out. Sakura stuck her head out and was blushing a bit.
"Gomen...I Couldn't resist the urge. I had to know what this was about." Sakura stated as she opened the window and jumped in. After landing on her feet she brushed herself off.
"You're too noisy for your own good Sakura." Kakashi stated. "Any how...With Me as Hokage, I'm going to have a large load to pick up. Since you all have been training for a long amount of time, I'm going to reactivate Team 7, but you'll not have a sensei. Also," Kakashi removed two scrolls from his desk. He tossed one to Sasuke and Naruto. "Congratulations. You are now Chuunin of the Hidden Leaf Village." Sasuke took the scroll and opened it up, Naruto looked at the scroll. He opened it and looked at the chuunin vest.
"No thanks. I'm doing this freelance." Naruto stated as he sealed the scroll back up and placed it in his back pocket. Kakashi threw him a head band and Naruto caught it throwing it in his side pocket. "But if anyone asks, I'm a Konoha Shinobi." Naruto winked at Kakashi. Kakashi closed his visible eye and smiled at Naruto.
"Well, at least you get the gist of it." Kakashi stated. Naruto turned to walk out the door. "One more thing. This squad, will be stealth. You are not going to be as you were before. You're all going to have to take a lot of stealth based missions. Naruto is pretty much a Jack of all trades. Sasuke, you're more equipped for front line battles. Sakura, from what I'm hearing from Lady Tsunade, you have been stepping up. But before we make this completely official." Kakashi stated. He threw a brush to Jiraiya as he removed his Hokage robes revealing a Jounin suit underneath. "Let's see how much you've grown." Kakashi stated. Sakura and Sasuke's eyes widened while Naruto grinned.
"Now that's more I like it. Meet you at Training Ground 7?" Naruto asked and Kakashi nodded. "Later." Naruto stated as he disappeared in a blur. A small burst of wind flew out the window as he ran from rooftop to rooftop.
'Well he's a lot faster.' Kakashi thought. "See you at ground seven." Kakashi said as he took the stairs and began walking down."
"Oh...this Is gonna be a long day." Sakura stated. She disappeared in a shushin while Sasuke just "Hmph'd" and disappeared as well. Jiraiya stood there dumbfounded with the brush in his hand.
"Did...Did He just stick me with his PAPER WORK!" Jiraiya yelled out. "No more Icha Icha for him!" Jiraiya stated at he began to sit down in Kakashi's desk and placed a henge on himself to look like Kakashi. "Blasted one-eyed Hokage's and their stupid urges to challenge old students!" he mumbled.
