Chapter5-C-Rank Mission

Kakashi and his team stood in front of the hokage's desk. The jounin gave the Third the report from their last assignment and

returned to stand by his teammate's side.

The third read the report he was given and after a while he put it away."I've just gotten a new mission,"he said."Tending to

the plants at the flower shop while the owner is away."Aw man!"Naruto and Kiba cried in unison.The third looked at

them."Getting tired of D-rank missions?"he asked.Hell yeah we are!'Kiba yelled."Quiet Kiba,"Kakashi said where are your

manners?"The third just laughed."It's okay Kakashi,"he said."The boy is just expressing himself."I guess I could give you a

C-rank mission,''he said."Do you think they are ready?"he asked Kakashi."Well,they have been doing well and their

teamwork has improved vastly,"Kakashi replied.Well, judging from what Kakashi told me about you guys"the third said,"I

guess I could give you a C-rank mission."With those words he picked out a scroll from his pocket.

The next morning the three genin were waiting in ront of the village.Kakashi walked forward with a scroll is his hand.

"So what's in that scroll?" asked Kiba.

"It's the mission"Kakashi replied."We will be heading to the Land of the Waves...with him."

At the very same moment, man walked aside him. He had brown hair in a ponytail. "You mean i'm paying for three kid's and a

mutt!"the man yelled,pointing at Akamaru.The nin dog bit him."Ouch!"Tazuna yelled."The mutt bit me!"

The genin laughed."Good job,"Kiba told Akamaru. "Can you please settle down Tazuna,"Kakashi said looking annoyed.

The journey to the Land of the Waves was a long one.Tazuna was nothing but annoying,insulting the genin every five

minutes.Kiba was still trying to close the deal with Hinata,but she did'nt seem to pay attention.She kept glancing back

nervously as if she thought someone was following them.Naruto,however saw what Kiba was doing and secretly planned

what to do to him when Kakashi was'nt around.Akamaru made it no better,running after every animal he had seen.Kakashi

lead the group reading his novel,as always.The farther they walked,the more and more puddles they began to see.

"Stop!"Kakashi suddenly said."Do you sense that?"

''I've been smelling them for the longest,"Kiba said.Naruto and Hinata looked at them confused."Hinata,use your

Byakugan,"Kakashi told her."Byakugan!"Hinata cried.Seconds later her eyes went back to normal."Oh,''she said nervously.
