"Take my hand,

Drips of tears.

Lead me out of here.

Fear,

everywhere.

Tears continue to pour.

I start to fade away.

What was once Bright,

Turned Black,"

The child sings in tunes, rocking back in forth in the dark place.

Then the child crawls over to a body and starts talking, "It's okay mommy, I'll take care of you. I'll keep the people away," and strokes her mothers face with her bloody fingers. "I looove you"

-No One's POV-

"This is Sasuke, arrived at point B," Sasuke said on the little receiver.

"This is Sakura, arrived at point C," Sakura said on the little receiver.

After 5 seconds, Naruto said, "This is Naruto, arrived at point A."

"You're slow, Naruto," Kakashi said on the little microphone, connected to his ear. "Okay, 7th unit... The target has moved. After it!" Kakashi said.

Three heads pokes out from behind tree and Naruto said, "Okay, he's there."

The three moves to different trees, and Kakashi asked, "What's the distance of the target?"

"Five meters. I'm ready to go," Naruto said.

"I am, too," Sasuke said.

"Me, too," Sakura said.

"Okay. Go!" Kakashi whisper-yelled into the tiny microphone.

The three jumped towards the target. Naruto yelled with his hands out and grabbed the cat yelling, "I got you!"

"Does it have a ribbon on its right ear? Is it our target, Tora?" Kakashi asked through the microphone.

The cat was scratching the living hell out of Naruto, while he tried to pull its body away, and Sakura was just watching them with a happy face.

"It's the target for sure," Sasuke said.

"Okay. "Operation Capture Tora the Lost Pet" complete," Kakashi said.

Naruto then yelled, blasting the microphone in Kakashi's ears, "Isn't there a more exciting mission we can work on?!"

"Ohh, my cute Tora-chan. I was so worried about you!" The fat lady A.K.A Wife of the Country of Fire's Feudal Lord, Madam Shijimi, said, squeezing the cat while it was crying and meowing.

Naruto laughed a little and said, "That cat's getting what he deserves."

"No wonder he ran away...," Sakura said.

Sitting not that far from them, the old Hokage said, "Now then, Kakashi's 7th unit's next mission is... Babysitting Yoju-sama's boy. Grocery shopping at the neighboring town. Helping dig up potatoes at... -"

"NO!" Naruto interrupted. He made his arms an X shape and yelled, "No thanks to all of those! I want to do more exciting mission! Choose something else!"

'There's some truth to that,' Sasuke thought.

'What a troublesome guy,' Sakura grunted/thought.

Kakashi huffed and thought, 'I knew he was goin to do this soon.'

"Idiot! You're still a novice ninja! Everyone needs to start with the easy missions to gain experience!" Iruka-sensei yelled, standing from his chair, next to the Hokage.

"But, but... ! We've only been doing dumb missions lately!" Naruto yelled, then Kakashi punched the back of his head, making him fall flat on face first on the floor.

"Cut it out," Kakashi said.

The Hokage said, "Naruto! It looks like I need to explain to you what missions are."

Naruto rubbed his head and said, "Huh?"

"Listen, a lot of clients come to this village every day. They request things from babysitting to assassinations. On the request list, a variety of requests are listed on it... ...and they are separated into ranks A, B, C and D according to difficulty. In this village, we separate the people into Jounins, Chuunins, and Genins according to their abilities. We higher officials assign the missions to ninja with the appropriate abilities. And if we complete the mission, we receive a fee from the client. You have all become Genins just recently, so D ranked missions are best for you," the Hokage explained pulling up the D ranked missions after words. "Hmm," he looked at Naruto.

Naruto was turned around, sitting on the ground, talking, "I had tonkotsu ramen yesterday, so I'm going to eat a miso ramen today."

"Listen!" The Hokage yelled.

Kakashi rubbed the back of his head and said, "I am sorry."

Naruto turned his body, still siting down, and said, "Aah ah, You always lecture me like that, pops. But I'm not the kid who used to pull pranks anymore!"

He humpfed and turned back around.

Kakashi rubbed the back of his head again and looked down and thought, 'I'm going to get scolded later...'

Iruka-sensei just grinned and the Hokage chuckled and thought, 'He was only able to express himself through pranks, but... '

He continued talking, "Okay, I understand."

Naruto looked up and said, "Anh"

Sasuke looked up and Sakura looked up too, all three looked surprised a little.

"If you insist.. I will allow you to take on a C ranked mission. It's to escort a certain person," the Hokage said.

"Really?" Naruto turned his head, excited. "Aah Haa," turned his body towards the Hokage again and asked, "Who? Who? The feudal lord? Or a princess?"

"Don't get so hasty. I'll introduce him now. Can you please come in now?" The Hokage said.

They all faced the door behind them and waited for someone to come in.

The door slowly opened and a dude said, "What? They're all kids!" The man took a big gulp of Alcohol and said, "Hey, is the smallest one there with the idiotic face really a ninja?"

Naruto laughed and said, "Who's the smallest one with the idiotic face?"

Sasuke and Sakura took a step close to Naruto and Naruto found out it was him.

"I'm going to kill you!" Naruto thrashed around while Kakashi held him back. Kakashi said, "Don't kill the man you're supposed to escort, idiot."

"I am the bridge building expert Tazuna. Once I have returned to my country, I will have all of you protect my life with yours while I complete the bridge," Tazuna said.

After everyone left to get packed, Kakashi and the Hokage went to go talk in private. (If ya know what I mean teHAHA! Lolz sorry I've been holding in a lot, BACK TO ZE STOREH)

"Kakashi, we need to talk about miss Shiro," the Hokage said.

"Ah yeah, she hasn't showed up since after the test. The only time she talked to me was when she showed me the bell she caught, which I still don't know how she got. And after I said they all passed, she said she would only show up when it's important. It's strange, lately when you discuss about her with the other three, it's like they don't remember her being there. Sir, I honestly don't know what to say about her or what I should do," Kakashi said.

"And I can't find any information about her either. She came to meet me and said she would be living here now and attend the school. She didn't tell me where she was from, just told me her name. I don't even know where she is staying. But every word she has told me seemed out of full honesty and hasn't been a threat so far. Just go with it for now, and keep me up on any information if she ever shows up. I would also assume she will appear for important things," the Hokage said.

"Yes, well I need to go and meet up with them," Kakashi bowed and disappeared.

Okay so yes yes, Shiro does not appear a lot BUT DAT'S JUST HOW SHE BE!
