Kakashi ran a hand through his silver hair, the 5th Hokage had assigned his team of Gennin to letting Ari out at night, and it was A rank, a simple A rank, but an A rank nonetheless. He waked slowly to the bridge that his team had always met at, he continued to walk, thinking about his team and his sensei, Minato the fourth Hokage, but he had died just like Obito, for this village. And so that was the reason he was late every day, he was visiting the memorial stone, to ask for forgiveness from his teammate and sensei.

As he arrived at the bridge, he was as usual, greeted by a

"Kakashi-Sensei you're late…. Again!" from Naruto, Kakashi sighed mentally

"Yo sorry I'm late, I had to see the Hokage" he explained, the whole group went silent

"Well at least it's believable this time" the raven haired prodigy stated

"Eh heh heh, well team seven, we have a mission" Kakashi laughed half-jokingly,

But really he was worried. Naruto gave his trademark fox grin

"Yesssss! Kakashi what's the mission" Naruto yelled happily

"Well I have to warn you all, it's an A- rank" Kakashi explained,

The group gaped, they had just been through the chunnin exams, and now an A-rank mission was being thrown at them. What the hell was Tsunade thinking!

"Our mission is to let Ari out at sun down every day for the next week, every ninja has to do it at one point, it's really easy" Kakashi explained,

But his mind was elsewhere, he remembered the first time he had let the eagle like girl out at sunrise.

It had gone well, she had stared at Minato's yellow hair, and said such colour before flying away, up into the clouds, but she had never liked Kakashi, sneering at him and muttering rude things underneath her breath.

He snapped out of his thoughts.

"Sasuke, I want you to work on your Chidori" he called,

Kakashi then turned to Sakura and handed her a scroll,

"Sakura, here are some Juitsu I want you to learn, if you need help just ask" he continued,

But he was interrupted by Naruto

"What about me Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto yelled, a huge fox like grin was plastered on his face, Kakashi scratched the back of his head

"Naruto, in order for you to learn any high level Juitsu you need to improve your Chakra control" Kakashi explained,

Naruto looked forlorn

"But Kakashi sensei, you teach Sasuke all the time, and you just gave Sakura a scroll, why won't you train me?" Naruto mumbled to himself,

Thankfully for Naruto Kakashi hadn't heard.

As the day passed and the sun moved through the sky, team seven was preparing for their mission, as the team followed Kakashi, Naruto had some time to think, why hadn't trained him? Why was it always Sasuke, Sasuke this Sasuke that. Naruto was interrupted by...

"Ok team here we are" Kakashi called, what met their eyes was a horrible sight,

It was a cage, there was straw on the floor along with golden and black feathers, in one of the corners was a bucket, hanging from the ceiling was a swing with a girl sitting on it she had golden hair, she was dirty and her clothes were ragged, she was thin very thin, like see her bones thin.

"Hello, Ari time to let you out" said Kakashi,

Walking toward Ari with his hand outstretched, inside his hand was a chain, to which Naruto held the other end. Kakashi continued to walk forward; finally he reached out and clipped the chain onto a collar that hung around the girl's neck.

Naruto walked in front of Ari leading her, the chain clanked on the ground with a horrible clanking sound. As the team reached the entrance of the building Ari ran past Naruto and leapt up into the sky her wings beating.
