Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or any of the drastically changed characters that are appearing in this chapter.

The ninjas were all stationed around Kakashi's apartment. Their headsets were fully operational and they had gone over the plan a million times. The only problem was that Naruto still thought it was bogus.

"Just go take it off! How hard could it be?" Naruto pouted.

"That won't prove anything, baka!" Sakura said.

"…forced…evil Hinata…dumb plan…" Naruto grumbled.

"Naruto, listen to me. If you mess this up, you. Are. Dead." Gaara explained, gripping the front of Naruto's jumpsuit. Naruto sighed and grabbed his headset.

Sasuke jumped on an old stump, surveying his team. "Okay, today at o'five hundred hours we strike!"

"First Hinata becomes all confident and bossy, then Sasuke starts talking to people, what is going on?" Naruto said to himself, "maybe I should turn all dark and moody, see what Sasuke thinks then."

"NARUTO! You are ignoring the pep-talk! Do you want this to work or not?" Hinata said, clubbing Naruto over the head, "Oh my gosh, Naruto. Did that hurt? I didn't mean it, I'm so sorry!"

"Oh no, Hinata's getting all shy again. I guess it's because morning is coming." Gaara said.

"Well we had better hurry then. Besides, I happen to know that a bunch of girls are throwing a party in the apartment over!" Said Jiraya.

'This is such a waste of time… wow, I sound like Shikamaru. I'm so glad Sasuke is in charge of all this, he is so hot.' Ino thought, smiling.

"Alright everyone, get to your stations!" Sasuke declared.

Ten minutes later

Kakashi was just starting to wake up. The sun was just starting to peek over the horizon. 'Not another day…' Kakashi thought. 'Wait… Today those kids are still working on their assignments. I get the whole day to myself!' Kakashi was thrilled. He rolled off his bed double checking that his mask was still on.

"Good morning Kakashi."

Kakashi whipped around. "Who said that?" His room was empty, his window open and curtains blowing softly in the wind. He scratched his head, "…anyone there?" 'Oh boy, I really do need a vacation.'

Outside

Outside Hinata was scaling down the wall. 'That was way to close for comfort.' She had been on Kakashi's roof when he woke up. If he hadn't rolled over, she would have been caught for sure. She hardly had enough time to finish her part of the mission. Now all she had to do was wait.

"ARGGG!"

Hinata giggled. Apparently her little prank was a success. Kakashi was bent over his Icha Icha Paradise with a horrified look on his face. Concealed in the pages were numerous post-it notes, all mocking his mask.

Kakashi's House

"It's happening again… I just know it," Kakashi was muttering himself, pacing his room. He smacked his forehead against his doorframe, taking a deep breath. He turned back to the book, and gasped. All of the notes were gone. "Illusions? Whose sick idea of a joke is this?"

Kakashi just put the book away in his pocket and left the room. He opened the door and… whoosh. Naruto shot a fist out at his sensai. Of course it was easily dodged and Naruto ended up on a collision course with the ground… from Kakashi's window.

"WHAT ON EARTH NARUTO?" Kakashi shouted down at the mangled ninja smashed into the pavement. Naruto just twitched, and then groaned out in pain. "I take it that your mission didn't work out so well!" Kakashi turned and went to grab himself some breakfast.

Outside

"You actually tried to punch him," Hinata was shaking her head at the foolish Naruto.

"Didn't I say I was GOING TO KILL YOU if you messed this up?" Gaara growled, "You're lucky he didn't suspect much."

Naruto just sat there, pouting at the two ninjas. "So what are you gonna do to me?"

"Lucky for you, you still have one more role in this plot, so you will not be hurt, yet."

Inside

Sasuke was ready with the cameras. He was going to catch Kakashi without his mask on. Kakashi was preparing some quick toast, taking his sweet time. Sasuke pressed up tight against the wall in the next room. 'Oh I hope he doesn't decide to come in here…' Finally, the toast was made.

Sasuke's finger tightened on the remote, he had ten cameras all perfectly positioned, there was no way he could fail. Kakashi sat down at the counter, grabbed a piece of toast and… and… nothing. He stood up, and walked back into his room, and stuck his head out of the window.

Outside

"Alright, alright… I'll play my stupid part." Naruto agreed reluctantly, "but really, couldn't we be actually TRAINING INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TAKE SENSAI'S MASK OFF?!"

Both Hinata and Gaara made a dive for Naruto. They covered his mouth and rolled into nearby bushes. Not ten seconds later Kakashi poked his head out of the window suspiciously. Naruto had almost ruined their plan for the second time.

Gaara was furious. He took out a small book from his pocket and scribbled down Naruto's name.

"Mmuf ssatt?" Naruto mumbled, his mouth still covered. Hinata released him. "I said, what's that?"

"Oh not much, just my list of people to kill."

Naruto shut up and walked quietly to his next post.

Inside

Kakashi returned to his breakfast, finally going to eat. As he raised his hand to lower his mask, Sasuke took a deep breath in and… pressed the button. There was a small click as all ten cameras went off simultaneously. Sasuke was overjoyed; he may have just gotten the pictures!

He poked his head around the corner to get a better look. Kakashi's face was covered, by non other than his Icha Icha book. The pictures were ruined. 'And this is why we have plan B.' Sasuke ran to the window, and jumped out, joining his comrades.

Note: I'm going away for two weeks (eek! I know) Really sorry, it's summer school, can't do much about it! Although if it turns out that I have a spare moment or two, I'll try to slip in a chapter! Lots of love to my faithful readers and to all those who review!
