Hokage Tower
Konoha
In the Hokage Tower all the best Jonins of Konohagakure were present and stood in front of Naruto the Hokage, who sat on his chair in front of his desk. Naruto looked up onto the Jonins and spoke,
" Today I have called you all here for a very important task. As you all might know now we are in a war against several villages two of them being the great ones. Iwa and Kumo are planning to build a defense line on their territory which will make our incursions hard as hell, our current task is to somehow sabotage and sugnifanctly delay its construction. I will group the best among you into a team and they shall be tasked with this mission. So tell me, who among you wish to volunteer for the mission?"
The Jonins talked among themselves and a while later, several hands started to raise. Naruto observed all the volunteers, they were all exceptional shinobi who had proved their mettle in previous missions, but this was an almost suicide mission and thus the best of the best were to be sent. Then some person entered the office and all others, upon seeing him, made way. Naruto looked at the person, it was Kakashi Hatake.
" I want to go for this mission, Naruto." Kakashi said while raising his hand. Naruto was astonished at this.
" B-but sensei, aren't you retired? Besides it's an almost suicide mission and losing the sixth Hokage would be too much for the village." Naruto replied to his sensei.
" Don't underestimate me Naruto, I am still ONLY fifty years old, I have much life force left in me. Besides I have completed missions more suicidal than this so I can at least lead the men you choose." Kakashi says very calmly.
The subject was discussed upon for fifteen minutes more and then the team was selected. The team charged with this dangerous mission composed of Kakashi Hatake, A certain Hyuga named Asahi, Kiba Inuzuka and Rock Lee. Naruto would've preferred to send Sasuke with them but he was already away on a big mission so he was replaced with Rock Lee. After every other person had went away Naruto began to explain the mission,
" The construction of the defense line has already started and is moving forward. Your task would be to destroy the defenses under construction and cause damage to the existent ones. It doesn't matter how you do it, just complete the task. And also, a team from Kusagakure would be assisting you in the mission, your meeting point would be on Sheryuō village on the border of Land of Fire and land of Lightning. The hidden snow village will cause some trouble in the land of Lightning from the north in an attempt to divert attention and make your work easier. Here, take this map, it contains all the information we currently have and you really need."
Kakashi and the others then bowed to Naruto and left.
On the outskirts of Sheryuō village
Kakashi, Rock Lee, Kiba and Sai were inside an abandoned hut, they were currently waiting for the Kusagakure team. Despite being abandoned, this hut was in a pretty good shape. Then Rock Lee asked,
" Lord sixth, can you please tell what is our plan now? You didn't say anything while we were coming here and Naruto also didn't give details."
" Alright I will tell you the plan, but look! The Kusa team has arrived. Let them also join and then I'll start my explanation." replied Kakashi.
And there was indeed a group of shinobi sprinting from the north direction, Kakashi didn't know the faces of his allies but the grass headbands were enough.
The Kusa team had briefly entered the hut when they halted upon seeing Kakashi,
" I wasn't informed the sixth hokage himself will be coming with us for the mission." the Kusa team's leader said while bowing.
" Please, just call me Kakashi. We are equals as of now." Kakashi said in a lenient manner.
" All right, myself Minamoto. But now shall you explain our plan for the mission?" replied the Kusa leader of Minamoto.
Kakashi then lead them to a room of the hut, which had several chairs and a circular table in the centre. Kakashi and the others took a seat and then Kakashi spread out a map on the table, he then started,
" Through this map we can see that we, currently in the Sheryuō village are ten kilometers away from the construction wite of the defense line. If this defense line is successfully built then our incursions into Kumo's territory would be harder than ever, our task as you must've known is to sabotage it in such a way that it'll take a lot of time to recover. Now the best way to sabotage it would be with explosives right? We are also lucky that the construction process is in a very initial stage and not even three kilometers are properly complete. The plan is simple, I have come to know that the walls are thick but are hollow inside, enough to fit an average human with ease. The work of this hollow part is to store weapons and supplies in time of war but we'll use it to our advantage. In this part of the defense line the forests are the thickest and during winter mornings fog limits the view of the naked eye to a couple of feet.
Fortunately its currently december and the morning weather will be in our favour, so go get some sleep. We will depart on two in the morning, we are still a good ten kilometers away from the defense line. The immediate actions and strategy will be told on reaching the target." The ninja nodded and discussed over the plan. In the end the plan was changed a bit to depart at three o'clock, the ninja also needed sleep!
The next morning
Kakashi, rock Lee, Asahi and Kiba and the Kusa team were awake and ready to depart for their mission. They traveled with full speed and by seven o'clock they had reached their destination.
" What now captain?" Asked Asahi.
" Okay, our plan is to somehow enter those hollow spaces and plant explosives in them. Remember these backpacks I gave you? They contain bombs much destructive than the common TNT. To enter those hollow spaces there are various seals on the walls on which you have to pour your chakra into, in very large amounts that is." replied Kakashi, the captain.
" But what about Kiba and I? Kiba doesn't have a large chakra pool and I can't even use Chakra." said Rock Lee.
" That's why we will be working in teams of two, once the two-man squad is able to enter the hollow spaces both of them will run into opposite directions and keep planting the bombs on the way. Soon you will stumble upon another one of us, if so leave the wall with him and retreat back to the current location we are in. It means your task is complete, if any team member needs assistance he can call on these wireless radios." replied Kakashi seriously. Rock Lee was content with this answer. Kakashi then continued,
" Okay, not let me quickly divide the two-man squads.
1. Rock Lee and Asahi.
2. Me and Minamoto.
3. Kiba Inuzuka and Yamato(Kusa team's member)
4. Kitachi and Hayabusa ( both Kusa Jonin)
Everyone clear?"
" Hai!" the rest of the shinobi replied.
" Then, disperse and find the entrance!" Kakashi ordered. All the shinobi including Kakashi went into different directions with their respective teammate and wished to find the entrance seal, though they will have to do it with the utmost caution as the one who gaurds these walls is not someone ordinary.
Author's notes
Alright chapter complete. I have planned out the way this mission will go in my mind, I will just have a hard time probzbly narrrating fight scenes. From these chapters I have learned to not go into detail for missions, so from now on I will only give simp,e descriptions and summaries of the missions that will happen in the story.
And also, a certain viewer asked me why the tailed beasts eould fight against Naruto if the latter was chosen by Hagoromo. Well you need to see also how the Shinobi nations forcefully kept and used the power of Bijuu in the past, they will do it here as well.
