Note: Sorry the annoyingly short chapter! And I already KNOW this chapter focuses more on a minor character, who is only minor for this fanfiction, but he'll be back. :) And I know there isn't a lot of romance between Kakashi and Obito in this chapter, only a little bit in that small section... Well, I promise to have more of that in the next chapter, and less of the evil twenty year old redhead and two year old, goof off blond... But it's obvious these two will be in the story later, since they WERE in this chapter, which starts most of my fanfiction... Anyway, if you can figure out who the "Evil redhead" is, before his name is mentioned later in this chapter, I'll be proud. :)

The "Blond's" name is not mentioned, but if you can guess who it is, go ahead and try. His name will be mentioned later on... Kakashi is 13 in this fanfiction. He is 28 in Shippuuden... He and the "blonde", during Shippuuden, have about an 11 year difference, therefore, when Kakashi is 13, he is two. The age difference between Kakashi and our red headed friend is seven, therefore, our red headed friend is 20. I am just ASSUMING he went all evil on everyone's butt's by the age of 20... ANYWAY, ON WITH THE FANFICTION! XD

Chapter 2: Mission Beginning

-----------------------------------------

"You're certain you want us to attack them directly, sir?" A man asked a red headed man, who appeared to be leading them.

"Yes, and I refuse to say it again." The red head said, his voice getting deep with anger. It was clearly obvious he was annoyed by all the constant interruptions.

"But sir, they have Konoha's Yellow Flash as their sensei. We can't possibly—"

"You can, and you will." The red head shot, sounding ready to kill the other man.

"Sir."

"You've already made me angry enough. I suggest you leave and start your assignment. Immediately."

"Uhh, right…" The elder man said, and quickly left.

The red head just sighed and walked away. Why did he have to end up with the idiot Suna Rogue Ninja?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"All right, everyone! Let's go!" Yondaime said to his team, as he led them out the door after saying goodbye to the family who let the stay at their house for a while. Not that they wouldn't be back. It was only natural they were going to come back. The mission wouldn't possibly end so soon. Besides, they were simply going out for training, that's all. But that training turned out to be essential for their mission. Yondaime was with Rin, walking around the city, which is where he had heard that there were some Suna Rogue Ninja around, and they had to be stopped. Yondaime later told this to Kakashi and Obito, and left them to train a while longer, this time with Rin. However, Rin later left to ask their sensei about the missions's details.

"Obito, stay behind. You could get hurt." Kakashi said seriously, when they took a break from training. Obito knew right away what Kakashi was talking about.

"You could, too, Kakashi." Obito sighed. "You're probably thinking I could die again, huh?"

"It's possible."

"It's just as possible for me to get killed as it is for Sensei to be killed, you know? If our enemy is really who everyone's saying it is, even Sensei is gonna have some trouble…"

"Obito, if you get killed--" Kakashi started to say. He stopped after he felt Obito's arms around him, and it shut him right up.

"I'm not gonna die, Kakashi." Obito said softly. "Not today."

"You're sure?"

"Positive."

"You'd best be."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sir!" A Rogue Suna Shinobi called to his master, quickly approaching him.

"What is it, now? Can't you ever leave me alone? For even only an hour?" The red head sighed.

"Sir, the enemy has found out about our plans! Konoha's Yellow Flash is currently taking down at least half of our team!"
"Don't worry about it." The red head scoffed. "They were only going to get killed later, anyway. I only need them for this one mission. After that, they'd all just be in the way. In the end, the others who are not currently being attacked will just end up the same as the ones who are, anyway."

"What are you saying…?" The elder man asked, suddenly rather surprised.

"I'm saying that all of them would end up dead anyway, one way or the other."

"And what's… the other way, other than being killed by Konoha's Yellow Flash?"

"Simply being turned into puppets, causing them to die, but also making them more useful.
Therefore, their souls would be able to rest knowing they were still, and more, useful." The red head said, sounding like he didn't have a care in the world.

"You're not really suggesting you should turn that many people into puppets…" The elder man was completely shocked.

"I'm not?"

"Sir… Surely…"

"Surely, I'll be turning the remaining Shinobi that live after their mission into puppets. I'll see you later, then, yes? If you don't die?"

"Er… Yes…" The man said, and quickly left. His master was really freaking him out.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later in the day, some of the Suna Rogue Ninja arrived at the Stone Village, later to go to the Cloud Village, seeking volunteers to help them fight off the ones they were going to fight, and also seeking information on Konoha's Shinobi. However… two of the men who were partnered together were not expecting a two year old blond to be following them.

"I swear, this kid is stalking us." One of them whispered to the other.

"Definitely." The other responded.

"I heard that!" The blond shouted. Sadly for the Suna Rogue Ninja, who kept their headbands hidden from sight, so nobody would know they were Rogue Ninja, the blond was already able to walk around just fine at his age. He could also talk just fine, and he could talk a lot.

"Who cares?" The first ninja sighed.

"I do! ME!" The blond had picked up a stick, and was now poking both ninja back and forth.

The second ninja swung around, glaring at the blond boy, and was face-to-face with him. The blond boy only glared back.

"What's you name, kid?" He asked rudely.

"None of your concern." The blond shot at the ninja.

"Wow, he can talk pretty well for such a young brat…" The first ninja mumbled.

"You shouldn't talk like that around strangers, should you now?" The second ninja said in a dark voice.

"Too late. Already did." The blond said happily. He suddenly poked the ninja's eye with the stick he had, and skipped away, still holding the wonderful stick that angered the ninja to his limits. He was so frustrated with the blond boy that he tired to attack him, but, because he was so angry, he missed.

"Man, you suck." The blond half laughed, raising an eyebrow at the now red-faced ninja.

"C'mon, let's just leave this brat." The other man said, sighing.

"I'm not just gonna let this runt go!"

"Oh, yes, you are! We have a mission to accomplish! Master Sasori's gonna be really mad at us if we don't get enough information to please him."

"Ohh…" The second ninja felt ready to explode.

"Hah hah!" The blond boy laughed. "You guys suck… Hee hee…" He giggled over the situation for a few seconds, then ran away laughing.

"Dumb brat…" The first ninja muttered after the blond had turned a corner. The boy was certain the man would be talking about him after he turned the corner, but he didn't really care. Not right now, anyway. Besides, what's a two year old to care about something like that? He wouldn't know any better at his age…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like I said, I know it's short, but R & R, anyway. XD

Annoying little blond boy... Hee hee... 3
