Chapter 4: Mission

Saioga couldn't stop talking to Kurashin for more than a minute at a time when the group left the gates of Konoha. You only caught a couple things that he said before you started to ignore him like usual. You know that he said something about his whining finally paying off, but that was wrong. You plan on letting him think what he wants to though. They seem ready for a B-Rank mission. Yeah, they could use a little more training. Well, Saioga could. Jade would probably pull through just fine. Kurashin would be alright. He's smart enough. All in all, you were glad that you had the team that you do instead of the team poor Kakashi has. Sure, Saioga is even more hyper than Naruto, but Jade is more skilled than Sasuke. And Kurashin is smart, like Sakura, but doesn't get distracted all that easily.

Really thinking about it, you felt like Kakashi would need a lot of help to be able to handle his team. Sasuke is self-centered, Naruto is hyper, and Sakura is crazy for Sasuke. Jade is team material, along with being really talented, Kurashin is really smart, and good for strategies as well as fighting, and Saioga... Well... He's worse than Naruto, except for the fact that he'll actually listen to orders in a tough situation. And he's pretty strong. He lacks all intelligence though... Even Naruto has some intelligence.

Knowing Kakashi, he's on a mission having his team build a house and garden while sitting back, relaxing, and just watching them work. Big difference in missions. While his team trains in teamwork, your team trains in identifying and exploiting weaknesses of an enemy. Also, while his team is throwing kunai, and shuriken, you team is placing explosive tags onto weaponry and throwing it at huge chunks of ice, or boulders, making them into dust, whether it be a rocky dust, or an icy mist, depending on the location.

Well, alright, so you were thinking about the difference in missions then instead thinking about training. Well, there was a difference in missions too. While his team is babysitting, catching a runaway cat, or some other pathetic D-Rank mission, your team is off doing C-Rank missions. Like guarding a guy that needs to be protected from muggers. Or even B-Rank missions, like taking out a few rogue ninja. Well, guaranteed Kakashi wouldn't let his team do any dangerous missions. Babysitting compared to fighting rogue ninja... Big difference.

Caught in thought, you didn't realize that you had already reached your destination. You were now in a forest outside the border of the Village Hidden in the Sand, Sunakagure. Good thing you had already told your team to be on the lookout for traps. You weren't really paying any attention. After all, you were only going to be taking down a couple of low level rogue ninja that had decided that being loyal meant nothing. Well, at least they weren't supposed to be high level. Great... He probably lied to you and gave you an A-Rank mission instead of a C-Rank. It was possible. He didn't really think of you as a great person. You really shouldn't have pulled that prank on him a year back. Then again, taking his mask was fun.

Just before a kunai dug its way into your shoulder, you caught it. Then you heard a sizzle of some sort. Before thinking, you threw it right back where it had come from. Once it had dug into a tree, there was a pretty decent boom that sounded. Nice. Oh, wait, this is a team mission, not your mission. Not cool. You wanted some fun.

You nodded to Kurashin, and he went into the bushes. Then you nodded at Jade, and he jumped into a tree while taking out a shuriken with a seal on it. Then, without waiting for a nod, Saioga started to send out electricity through the ground. Right before it shocked you, you jumped into a ditch. You shook your head. He always did that. Never waiting for the signal to start up his LW Jutsu. LW standing for Lightning Wave. It's quite shocking to receive.

As expected, one of the ninja that were hidden jumped into the open to attack Saioga to get him to stop his jutsu. Right when he was in sight, a web of chakra caught him in midair. Jade then went through with his part by throwing the shuriken. It hit the guy in his shoulder, then the chakra web vanished, and the guy was out cold. The other guy, maybe guys, were smart enough to stay hidden after seeing what happened to their comrade. Unluckily for them, it wasn't the right thing to do.

The jutsu Saioga was using was starting to get even stronger with each pulse. There was only one side affect to him using that jutsu. And that was that he actually thought about the situation. Saioga stopped his jutsu then jumped into the bushes. Unexpectedly, Saioga landed on the ground in the clearing only a few seconds after going in. It was easy to tell that someone was there. Kurashin came into sight from the bushes, then jumped into a tree opposite of Jade. He then closed his eyes and reached one hand in front of him slightly. He whispered something, then a scroll appeared in his hand. He opened it and started to do the signs it had written on it. Seconds later, a large white tiger appeared on the ground below him. He pointed into the bushes, and the tiger darted in.

Right after the tiger had jumped into the bushes, a guy jumped out, avoiding the beast. He was about to jump into the tree where Jade was and attack him, but the tiger got him first. It clawed the guy right down his spine after it tackled him. Jade pulled out another shuriken and attached a seal to it. As soon as Jade threw it at the guy, the tiger was told by Kurashin to back off from its target. The shuriken dug itself into the guys shoulder, and the guy was out like a light.

Before realizing it, the third rogue had sneaked up and got to Kurashin. Right before the tiger got to the guy, Kurashin was knocked unconscious, left to fall from the tree, and the tiger vanished. You jumped over just in time to catch Kurashin. The rogue then appeared behind you, and tried to slice your back open. Luckily from all of your training, you moved out of the way just in time. You tossed Kurashin to Jade, and he caught his unconscious comrade. You spun around and kicked the rogue back from you. Judging by the targets skill level, he's the one that knocked out Saioga as well.

There was no way that you were going to let your students get knocked around by some low-life rogue ninja. You appeared behind the guy and pulled his arms behind him. Not letting your grip loosen in the slightest bit, you nodded up to Jade, who had set Kurashin down on the branch. He nodded, and pulled out yet another shuriken with a seal on it. He threw the shuriken, and it hit the rogue just below his shoulder. He struggled for a second after getting hit, then passed out. No one made it out of Jades sleep seals.

You tied up all three rogue ninja and put them all in one big net. You kicked Saioga in his side, and he woke up. He never got hurt by being kicked like that, so you always ended up kicking him to wake him up. Jade put Kurashin over his shoulder, carrying him. Almost back to Konoha, Kurashin woke up, so he walked the rest of the way. The rogue ninja weren't going to wake up until the shuriken were pulled out, so they were easy to bring back. When you got into Konoha, you handed the rogues over to the anbu to let them handle them. Everyone went back to the mission place and got their share of pay from the mission. Everyone was asking you why they got more ryo then what a C-Rank mission was worth, but you didn't answer, and told them to go home and rest. You weren't about to tell them that that was actually a B-Rank mission.

Not really tired, you walked out of Konoha to look around in the forest. The sun was already setting. That mission was a little longer than you thought. Once then the sun set, you turned to walk back to Konoha. On the way back, you saw someone hurt, so you decided to help.
