Will Of Fire ~KakashixOc (Editing)

Land of the Waves Ch.8

Song- Robot Boy by Linkin Park
"You say you're not gonna fight 'cause no one will fight for you. And you think, there's not enough love and no one to give it to. You're sure you've hurt for so long, you got nothing left to lose... So hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go. Just hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go."

Weeks pasted by quickly after that. Missions were simple and easy, gaining small amounts of experience along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed helping people, whether it's weeding their garden, babysitting, or finding lost pets, but I could tell Naruto was getting sick of it. That boy cracks me up. His temper and personality reminds me so much of someone I used to know...

We were standing in the Lord Hokage's office, waiting for our next mission. My father sat at a desk, Iruka by his side. He shuffled through his papers, shifting through the missions.
"Hmm... Squad Seven's next mission... We have many tasks available. Among them, baby sitting the chief councilor's three year old, " I squeal in delight, beaming at Kakashi.
"Let's do that one!" I say, thinking of the adorable little boy.
"What?!" Naruto yells, crossing his arms. "I want to go on a real mission! Not this little kid stuff! You always want to do the boring missions, Himi-Sensei!!"
"How dare you, Naruto!" Iruka lectured, an irk appearing on his forehead. "You're a brand new genin with no experience. You have to start from the basics and gain experience and prove yourself, like everyone else."
"Are you serious?! Babysitting isn't a a mission!" Naruto complains, "It's just stupid! Himi just wants to play with the baby!"
I blink, feeling betrayed. Kakashi hits Naruto on the top of his head, sending him to the floor.
"Will you put a lid on it?" He asks and I try not to laugh at Naruto's wounded exspession.

"It seems you don't understand the task you've been given." The Lord Hokage says, drawing everyone's attention. "Listen, many different kinds of requests come to our village everyday, from babysitting to assassinations." I flinch, memories flickering in my head. Being an Anbu Captain, I've experienced many of the later types of requests... "These requests are carefully recorded, analyzed, and then seperated into four different groups: A, B, C, D. Each depending on their difficulty. Shinobi are also ranked by Ability. Hokage at the top, Jōnin, Chūnin, and then Genin...." I looked down at Naruto to see if he was still paying attention... He wasn't. I glance at Dad, seeing him realize this as well. Everyone was busy talking about Ramen...
"Silence!" Dad yells, getting everyone's attention again. Kakashi rubs his neck, smiling apologetically and I sigh. The Hokage's yelling didn't even faze Naruto.
"You always lecture me like you're my grandfather or something. I'm not the same brat who used to play pranks all the time." Naruto says, crossing his arms. " I'm a ninja now! I want a ninja mission!"
"...I'm going to hear about this later..." Kakashi whispers, rubbing the back of his neck. I laugh, giving him a small elbow to his side. He smiles down at me and I grin back, glaring at him playfuly.
"We're both going to get in trouble, Dork~" I whisper back, talking behind my hand.

"Send in our visitor."

I turn to face the door, confused. Did Dad change his mind? I thought we were babysitting... I frown, watching a man stumble into the room, a bottle of sake his his hand. Great. I'll be babysitting alright, just not a cute toddler. I'm stuck babysitting a drunkard. Just great.
"Wha? A bunch of snot nosed kids?" He asks, taking a swig of his drink. He looks at Naruto, glaring. "And you, the short one with the stupid look on your face..." I choke on my laughter, looking at Naruto, who was just processing what the man had said. "You really expect me to believe you're a ninja?"

Naruto laughs, looking around for the short one. "Ha... Who's the one with the stupid look..." I grin, watching him realize who the short one is. His growls, lunging towards the man. "I'm going to demolish you!"
I quickly grab hold of his collar, stoping him from assaulting the man.
"You can't demolish a client, Naruto." I say, grinning while I shake my head. "It doesn't work that way."
