"YOU'RE LATE!" Was the shout that resounded throughout the field. Said children who shouted this obvious fact were Leaf residents, Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura. If you listened close enough, you could hear a small grunt from the brooding Uchiha.

Kakashi, their teacher, didn't even look up from his book, "Well you see, I drank some milk and then checked the date on the carton. When I realized the milk was spoiled, I ran as fast as I could to the hospital. As soon as I arrived, I noticed there was a long line for those who didn't have life-threatening wounds. I waited for a few hours until checking the date again. It turns, out I read the expiration date wrong!"

"LIES!" The two children screamed again. Kakashi just snapped his book shut in response.

"Welp, let's go Hokage-sama's office to receive a mission." He eye smiled at his cute little genin. He started making his way through the town, the preteens following close behind.


When arriving at the Hokage's office, Naruto rudely ran in. "Hey, old man! We're here for a mission! Can it be a C-rank? Please!" He begged, smiling so wide it looked somewhat fake. Sakura immediately hit his head.

"You moron! Don't speak to Hokage-sama like that!" She screeched, hitting the blond upside the head.

"Hn."

Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe before responding to the question. "Well, sorry Naruto-kun, but I have a D-rank mission that was requested for your team. It's at the local orphanage-"

Immediately Naruto became panicked. 'Don't be the one two blocks west! Don't be the one two blocks west! Don't be-' His breath slightly quickened.

"-That is two blocks west of here!" The elder continued cheerfully, blissfully unaware of the panicking ninja.

"Kuso!" Naruto swore under his breath.

"You will be working there for the next six weeks. Any questions?" Three of the team members shook their heads; the only blonde was silently freaking out.
