Chapter One - Capturing Tora The Cat
Kakashi sighed heavily as he leaned against the rooftop, watching his team perform the simple D-rank mission in order to build up some funds. To be honest, he hated these mission nearly as much as they did, but it was easy money and they could practice jutsu without it being life or death. Well in all the missions save for this one.
No one wanted to imagine what had led to Tora bursting out of that Jounin's chest and sitting there while nomming on his entrails, so to avoid having to explain that the staff kept the mission as a D-rank. They did however authorize the use of any jutsu known to the ninja running the mission.
Pulling out his favorite orange novel, he settled in for a bit of reading, only to nearly drop it when a huge explosion took out an area of the forest. One would think that his cute little students would know better than to attempt to blow up the cat that they were supposed to be returning to his owner. Judging by the destruction, he would guess that Sasuke was using the Grand Fireball technique. Tucking the novel away, he decided to go and make sure they were still alive.
It was just as he got into the forest that he noticed something disturbing. Every tree, bush, rock, and he almost swore grain of dirt was trapped in a way that made it clear that some insane trap making genius was loose with nearly endless amounts of chakra wire, time, and sadism.
He didn't even want to think what that snare that would drop whoever triggered it into a vat of bubbling green goop.
Terror for his cute little students clenched his heart as he thought of the maniac getting them. Redoubling his speed, he charged towards the sounds of combat while artfully avoiding the multitude of traps littering the area. He was just getting into the area when he had to dodge a tree that literally sprang up in front of him, letting it careen past him. As it sailed beyond him, he noticed a fist shaped indent in the trunk.
Just who the hell was after his students?
Several careful minutes later, he found his students squared off against their foe. The foe in this case was a rather surprising one. For just across the way from them, barely scratched was Tora the Cat. He was wondering just what the hell was going on when Sasuke flung out two fuuma shurikens, Naruto summoned forth a swarm of clones, and Sakura punched the ground. He hadn't expected anything of the ground punch, until the cat was launched into the air. The two shurikens nearly bisected the cat, until one transformed into a cage and trapped the cat inside. Even as Kakashi watched, the cage fell to the ground, only to be caught by a sea of orange.
"Cool! We did it!" the legion shouted with a laugh. "Now can we make cat stew?"
This was a report that he might want to 'adjust' before handing in to the mission room.
