Kakashi

I flipped through the pages of Make-out Paradise deluxe edition; a get well gift from Master Jiriya. Unfortunately, as I looked through the pages all I could think of was Rin when she discovered exactly what it was that I was reading.

"Well, it sounds like they're finally here." I closed the book and placed it on my nightstand as Lady Tsunade, Shizune and a familiar face walked in.

"Long time no see Kakashi" I stared at him slight surprise.

"So this is the Yamato you were talking about. Go figure" I shrugged slightly but flinched at the motion.

"That's right. While I'll be filling in as Captain for Team Kakashi Yamato is my codename sir." He explained.

"You don't say." I replied.

"Which leads me to why I brought him here, if he's to be heading out with your team Kakashi I want him to know what exactly he'll be dealing with" Lady Tsunade began and I nodded slightly.

"What we're about to tell is the main reason you were selected as Kakashi's replacement" Jiriya started.

"Is this about Naruto sir?" Yamato asked and I nodded.

"Exactly. You already know that Naruto has the nine tails fox spirit sealed inside him. There are times that the nine tails chakra will start to leak out of Naruto's body and take on the fox spirits form. We've been referring to it as the nine-tails cloak." I explained and noticed his eyes widen.

"The nine tails cloak, my god. How often has this been happening to him?" He demanded.

"As recently as our last mission. When he's overcome by his emotions the nine tails charka begins to surface engulfing his entire body; revealing the nine tails cloak. Judging by the shape the cloak was taking, the number of tails will grow and eventually there will be nine." I explained.

"That about sums it up." Master Jiriya added.

"How many tails have you seen?" I asked and he began to pull off his vest.

"There have only been two times in my life that I've been close to death; the first time I broke six ribs, two arms, and ruptured a handful of internal organs. That's when I was caught doing research at a hot spring and Tsunade beat me like a drum" I glanced at Lady Tsunade who seemed not have any shame or regret of the incident.

"The second time was back when Naruto and I were off training together and the fourth tail appeared" I stared at the gaping scar in his chest; it looked like someone had dug into his skin and pulled out a chunk.

"Is that all then?" Yamato asked and Lady Tsunade sighed.

"No, there is one more problem. Rin Uchiha"

"The Princess?" Yamato replied and she nodded.

"As I've read from the missions report she's made herself much more presently known. You're mission requires you meeting with a spy for Orochimaru; Rin has currently been training under him so you may encounter her."

"Nothing I can't handle" He replied confidently and I supressed a snicker.

"Kakashi why don't you explain?" Lady Tsunade asked and I nodded.

"Rin has become brilliantly powerful and with her sharingan she pays exceptionally close detail to the entire battle. Plus her sharingan also gives her an extremely dangerous genjutsu ability. She's a master swordsmen; excels in lightning and fire jutsu and keep in mind that she is known for her skills as an assassin"
