(Third's Point Of View)

After hearing the explanation of their mission, they all head home to prepare and collect themselves so they can be able to focus. Minato and Ruby race each other home because Minato has his Flying Thunder God Jutsu while Ruby has her speed which can be determined by her music. They warm up outside the Hokage mansion. The sister is flipping through her Walkman to find the song "Red Like Roses part II" for her speed to go to close to max. She would keep some of her aura for tomorrow.

"Are you ready dear sister of mine?" Minato asks her after she picks her song. Ruby smirks as the song starts to flow through her headphones then to her feet. "Oh yeah, let's do this!" Rin looks up from her timer while Obito is holding his hand up for the race to start. "Alright, on your marks, get set, go!"

The only thing that could be seen was dust and rose pedals.

"I guess that it was a tie, but since we both were not doing all we can do, we don't know." It was true, so Ruby nodded her head while they both walk inside there humble home with Minato's girlfriend Kushina.

"Welcome home, you to, great timing too because dinner is ready!" Kushina comes out of the kitchen with a pink apron and a pot of ramen. "That's great, we are starving!" Minato says smiling at her while he sits down. Ruby sets back as she watches the two love birds smile and laugh with each other. Frowning as she thinks that she is just... not important to the family. 'I guess we shall just have to see... if they marry.' She thinks to herself as she sets herself down at the table with a smile.

Waking up the next morning, Minato and Ruby got ready for there mission. The blonde sensei goes to his sister's room very slowly because of... uncertainty.

(Minatos Point Of View)

'Alright, just knock and take it slowly for her to understand' Minato says to himself. Knocking on the door twice, a little huntress opens the door with a smile. "Hey nii-san, come in!"

He sits himself on hey desk in the corner of the room. Ruby starts rambling off about how she is almost done packing, and how excited she is about going on her first C-Ranked mission. "Alright Ruby just calm yourself and sit down. I need to talk to you about something very important."

She looked at me suspiciously, but at least she sat down and composed herself. I put up some silencing tags around the room so no one can hear us outside. "Okay, now, what I am going to say is very important, and I want you to make sure you are alright with this."

My sister gives me a confused look, but urges me to go on. "I...I am going to ask Kushina to marry me after our mission." Her eyes widened and mouth gaped. I'm scared she is going to reject this, yet some part of me wants to just give up on it. What I did not expect to hear was squeals.

(Ruby's Point Of View)

"I...I am going to ask Kushina to marry me." Now that was a shock! Minato-nii looks down and closes is eyes, probably expecting rejection. I knew it.

I was right about seeing those looks in their eyes signaling that they love each other very much while I don't see that kind of love given to me. Well, that is probably a good thing because I am not supposed to be over loved that way by my own brother, and his girlfriend.

A fraction of me wanted me to say absolutely not because I want him to be with me and for me to be with a family. If he married Kushina-nee then he would break off from me and leave me all alone! But, I want him to be happy, and Kushina-nee is a very nice; welcoming person that I would consider my sister. If he wanted to go and be happy with the one he loves, I too shall be happy. So, I shall go and do what I can do to show that i can agree. Squeal with excitement.

(Minatos Point Of View)

She... She... She's happy? I was very surprised to see her kicking her legs and making high pitched squeals. "Omg! You are finally asking her to make her your wife! I was wondering when you were going to all her since it has been 6 years since you've been dating her. What took you so long, idiot?"

I don't even listen to what she had to say to me after see said omg because I was expecting her to say no. Our history had made her want to be with only me until Kushina came to live with us. After she called me an insult, I got down off the desk, and hugged her like there is no tomorrow. She hugs me back as I tell her with a cracky voice. "Thank you."

The four genin run in front of three Land Of Rain ninjas with Minato in the back.

"Okay guys, for this mission we shall be escorting ninjas from another village. One of them is carrying a secret missive. Namely that is what we are gaurding. There will also be three other escorts from the requesting village. If fighting breaks out... first and foremost, I want you four to make sure you are safe. Understand."

That is what the four kids remember their sensei telling them before they left. Obito smiles to himself, excited to be in a c-ranked mission.

"All right! I am going to show my stuff big-time and become the Hokage!" Rin and Kakashi look over at him disapprovingly. "It's not going to be that easy." Rin says to him while Kakashi looks so Obito boringly. "Obito, were you even listening to Minato sensei? We are not too engage in battle. Besides, we works only get in Minato-sensei's way."

Obito widens his eyes when something claws his mind. "Is Minato-sensei really that amazing?" Ruby decided to join in the conversation since they were talking about her older brother. "Haven't you heard of The Yellow Flash Of The Leaf?" He nodded. "I have, he's an incredible shinobi whose fame has spread to other villages too." Rin explains with a knowing look.

"And he's our teacher, and my brother, Minato Namikaze. The man touted to be the next Hokage." Ruby says looking back at hey brother for a moment seeing his face with no emotion. That probably means he did not hear us talking about him because he would blush. She noticed that over the years.

"Seriously, someone that great is teaching us! I feel my blood rushing." Obito exclaims with how in his eyes. "Man, I wish someone would attack us!" The genin's listening to the Uchiha sigh while Rin puts a smile on her face.

Obito thinks in his head for a moment then asks his question outloud. "I wonder who is stronger, The Yellow Flash Of The Leaf or The White Fang Of The Leaf?" Kakashi and Ruby's eyes widen while Rin stutters Obitos name in shock. Obito tracks on anyway. "The hidden Leaf had a hero named The White Fang. But I heard he died protecting the village. Haven't your heard of him?".

Kakashi runs forward and says "no, I haven't" Rin looks at him questionly, "Kakashi?" Obito narrowed his eyes, "What's wrong with him?". Ruby sighs and gives Kakashi, who was ahead a few feet, and gives him a sad look.

While this was happening, Minato looks around him trying to sense if anyone was coming or was near. 'This is strange, were surrounded. There's quite a few of them. What's going on?'. He thinks to himself. Normally in a c-ranked mission, there should not be any ambushes. 'This is far more dangerous then the rank assigned to this mission. I have to stop them here before I'm completely surrounded.' He looks ahead of him to his team. 'Bringing along the team might have been a mistake. Who can I depend on?' He narrowed his eyes to Kakashi and Ruby's back. 'They will be able to guard one. I'll have to guard the other one.'

Minato rushes up to team seven to tell them the plan. "Everyone, listen up," They all look at him, "looks like the enemy is on our tail." Obito's eyes sparkle. "Seriously, we are going to fight!". Obito says with a big smile. Their sensei looks at him with a serious look. "Obito, the isn't a game. There are quite a few of them. Obito and I work track back to confront them. In the meantime, Kakashi, Rin and Ruby will complete the mission. It's imperative that you three escape." All four nod there heads showing that they understand.

(Minato's Point Of View)

Obito and I retracted from the rest of the group to keep our followers from getting any closer.

"Oh man, Minato sensei! To pick me instead of Kakashi... This shows that your depend on me." I look down at him shocked, but went back to my neutral face. "Obito, we are going to lure the enemy without a fight, and separate them from the main group." Obito nodded. "I know that."

Right at that moment, I sensed kunais behind us coming at a high speed. Luckily Obito noticed it at well, did a "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu". "Oh, not bad.". He smirked of pride after it was over. "I wasn't kidding about training everyday. I'll take down every, single one of them!"

Obito rushed forward so our enemy, I panicked. "Don't get carried away! I said no fighting!". I notice he was already in a battle with one of them. I know he is not ready to engage in Jounin level shinobi. "Obito!".

I rushed forward to save him, but the rest of the ninja get in front of me. How dare they get in front of me when I need to save someone precious to me! "You're in my way!". I knock out all the ninja in front of me. How dare they come between me and trying to safe someone precious to me! Once I got there I see Obito about to get stroked down by the ninja he was fighting. Right before he touched him, I got between them and knocked him out with my kunai. "Are you all right?" Obito looked down at me with tears in his eyes. "Minato-sensei!"

Before I could check for any injuries, we got completely surrounded by Rain ninja. We stood back to back to defend our self's, and for what I could see there was about fifty to one hundred ninja.

'This is not good'

**********Yes, I know, another time skip**********

(Third Point Of View)

Back to our main group, Kakashi has just told Rin and Ruby to go on ahead because he sensed other ninja behind him. Kunais come flying at him for which he deflects, except for one. "Damn!"

It hits one of the Rain ninja they were protecting, making him fall off the side of the bridge and into the river. The two girl genins gasp while Rin calls out to her male teammate. "Kakashi! We have to go save him! Minato sensei is still nearby right now! If we turn back and let him know..." Kakashi cuts her off, "No! A shinobi's duty is to complete the mission!" She looks at him with a sad look "Kakashi."

He turns to look over his shoulder at the group of people on the bridge waiting for his orders. "Run! Getting away is imperative! Once we are in the forest, we will be near to the village! They wont pursue us that far!" Rin and Ruby understood and ran into the forest ahead of them with Kakashi tailing behind.

**********Ugh, another time skip**********

Once into the forest, they stopped in a clearing to speak more of what to do with the rest of the mission. Kakashi looks around while Rin and Ruby are trying to catch their breath from running for so long. "We've come this far, we should be safe." Rin looks over to her best friend with a concerned face. "What about Obito?" "Sensei is with him, I'm sure they are fine," Ruby says with a small grin.

The leader of the Rain ninja come to confront the Genin on the matter of the mission. "Thank you. I must hand it to the Yellow Flash's team. Thanks to you, the secret missive will be delivered safely." Ruby rubs that back of her neck "Don't mention it," she lowers her head a little, "unfortunately, one man had to be sacrificed." He looks down as well saying "That could not be helped."

Unknowing to the four, the rest of the Rain ninja smirk behind their leader. "However...he won't be...the only sacrifice!" They said this at the same time while pulling out a kunai, and slashed him in the back making a X formation. The Genin looked shock at to what has just happened with all thinking in their minds 'What the...What's going on!' The leader falls forward on to his stomach, but lifts his head to look over his shoulder with a pained expression. "S-so you're...the traitors!" They gasp for they have heard, and look at the two Jounins.

One traitor steps forward with the other coming in from behind, "Since you were just so focused on completing the mission, you made our mission easy." The other traitor steps forward, "Even someone like the Yellow Flash can't span this distance quickly. Sorry, but you're going to have to die too." The Rain Jounins crouch down into an attack stance while Kakashi does the same. Ruby reaches up to her headphones to get them ready to play. Rin stands back a little while having the look of being scared. They all still have the same thought rolling through there small heads.

'Not good...'
