'Knock' 'knock'
"Enter" Came the booming voice of a certain busty blonde.
Three figures walked in through the door of the hokage's office. "Remove your masks"
"You called, Hokage-sama?" Asked kakashi.
"Yes. I know that your not recovered emotionally from your failed last mission but I have another one for you which requires your team's expertise"
Kakashi looked somewhat unsure and glanced at his former blonde student. His face was blank.
But kakashi knew better, the blonde was not ready to face another mission anytime soon.
He sighed and was about to decline the offered mission but was cut off.
"We accept Hokage-sama"
Kakashi looked sharply at naruto. " You are not in any position to accept the mission, I am the captain of this team. And I am well aware of your mental state."
Naruto sighed and simply said "I am not a child kakashi, I can handle myself. You have to stop belittling me."
Kakashi turned to him fully. " I am not belittling you. I care for my students and always tries to look out for them"
"Yeah. Just like you did with sakura, right? and What students? Last I recall i am the only one left. One is dead and the second is wandering around like a blood thirsty beast to kill his own damn brother"
"You think that what happened was beacause of me?" Silence met him. Kakashi laughed bitterly "You do, don't you? After all this time"
"Enough, I can see that this mission has to be postponed, you are not allowed to take part in any mission or go out of the village until you solve this inner feud. I want my best Anbu team to remain at its best."
Naruto looked ready to protest but tsunade didn't gave him the chance to speak.
"You are dismissed"

"Find anything you can about the whereabouts of any akatsuki, and meet me at the cafe near the market centre."
Team Hebi nodded at sasuke's order and dissappeared.
Searching for about two hours, karin found something after asking the villagers about any suspicious activities around the town.
Suigetsu and jugo came back empty-handed and no one had the courage to ask anything to their leader.
They sat at the table in the farthest corner of the cafe. As the waitress set down their orders and practically flew away from their table sasuke ordered karin to state her findings.
Karin felt ecstatic to be the one to find something, now she can gain some more points in getting sasuke's heart.
"Ahem. So The villagers have seen three people most probably shinobi who were wearing the akatsuki cloak. They were here one week ago. Th-"
"Akatsuki only travels In pairs, they must be fake or someone's trynna copy akatsuki, hahaha akatsuki should sue them for plagiarism" karin glared at Suigetsu for interrupting her. "Don't make that face you look uglier than normal." Karin screeched and was going to punch the swordsman.
One glare from their leader stopped them from further entertaining the people in the cafe.
"Karin continue" he ordered.
"Yes as I was saying before a stupid fish interrupted me," Suigetsu mumbled something under his breath well aware of the glare of his leader as karin continued "They seemed to be searching for someone named roshi"
Karin was waiting for sasuke's praise or maybe just maybe a k-k-ki-
"Their appearance"
"Huh" karin came back from her trance-like state and gaped at her team leader.
"The akatsuki members' appearance?" Came sasuke's cold voice.
"Oh the villagers were not able to see their faces because they were wearing kasa"
As karin said that the waitress from before came to their table. She seem to have overcame her fear after witnessing karin and Suigetsu's bickering.
" um If your talking about the people with black cloaks and red clouds, um they came here in this cafe one week ago. " The waitress said meekly.
Sasuke immediately looked at her with his sharingan. "Tell us everything now"
As The waitress looked back at the manager of the cafe who gave her the go-on signal sasuke growled "I said now"
"Y-yes, first there were only two of them, one of them was wearing his kasa but the other one had discarded his on the table, he was blonde and had an Iwa hitai-ate. Then the third one came and I am sure that it was a woman." The waitress paused to take a breath and was confused as to why that woman with glasses is glaring at her but started talking again when the boy she supposed was their leader shifted a little, his hand on his sword. It was quite intimidating.
" She was wearing a kasa too, but I think her eyes were green. They were heading to nami no kuni pursuing someone who was going to stop there" she finished.
When she thought that sasuke was going to unsheath his sword she squeaked and said quickly, "I think that girl had pink hair too ,that's all I really know I swear."
Her head hit the table as a hand gripped her neck tightly, she chocked and watched with wide eyes as sasuke growled at her.
"Are you sure she had pink hair? Because if your wrong then I will make sure you do not live to tell another lie"
"Y-yes i saw a strand of pink hair even though she was wearing a kasa"
He glared one last time and removed his hold on the poor waitress's neck. He turned and ordered his team "we are leaving for nami no kuni "
He vanished with jugo and Suigetsu following right away. Karin glared at the waitress for ruining her chance to get sasuke-kun's praise and followed her team after a moment.
