Kakashi looked over his Genin team, as they sat in Ichiraku's ramen bar, after catching a cat for their first ever mission. He hadn't had any need to go through the bell test, as the Hokage told him that, no matter what, his team was passing. They had to pass, the Hokage told him, otherwise Madara and Hashirama would become rivals yet again, and destroy another valley, thus creating another Valley of End.

Speaking of the two old geezers, Kakashi had decided that he absolutely despises Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. Tobirama was okay in his eyes, but the other two were demon spawn.

What had the two done?

Well, on their cat catching mission, they had somehow managed to convince Sasuke that the cat was Itachi in disguise. And, by the gods above, Kakashi had never seen so much carnage come from a twelve year old. It scared him slighty.


And now they were all celebrating, Hashirama and Madara smirking, Tobirama shaking his head and sighing, Naruto wolfing ramen down, Sakura cooing at the replacement cat they had to buy for the client, and Sasuke sitting smugly, eating a plate of tomatos.

Kakashi sat a little ways away from the group, in the case that he had to make a quick get away. He shivered in remembrance of the look on Sasuke's face as he pretty much slaughtered everything in sight to get to the cat.

Kakashi stood, and left the ramen bar silently. He was not ready to teach a Genin team yet. "...I wonder if the Hokage will allow me to resign from Jounin and return to ANBU..." He wondered out loud to himself, as he sped towards the Hokage's tower. 'Please, dear god please, let him say yes!'
