Kakashi's hopeless sqaud meeup

Kakashi sat onto a stool under a little camp, waiting for Neji and Lee to show up.

Lee stood beside Neji and waved, "Hello!" =)

"Hello Kakashi sensei. Sorry about the wait.We're ready to go."he said.

He nodded in confirmation. "first, I need to warm you two, up...." he said as he slowly brought up his hands and quickly did the water dragon jutsu as it crashed towards Neji and Kakashi kneed Lee in the gut before smashing her into the sand.

Lee curled up and held her chest gasping for air wishing her lungs would stop doing this to her and then caught Kakashi with a sweep of her leg. She backed up panting heavily and then swung her leg along the sand floor rising a barrier of sand that fell on Kakashi and in his eyes.

"Go Neji sama!"

Neji,who had been able to escape the speeding water dragon,rushed to Love lee and, coming through the sand he used a hurricane kick to make some distance between them.

Kakashi easily dodged the sweep and dove into the sand, then later grabbing Neji by the legs and submerging, holding him upside down and shaking his head. "You need to enter full defense if you wanna deal with this mission, Neji..." He then put him down and put out the campfire. "Alright, let's move!"

Neji fixed himself,bowed and then got ready to go. "I will be more alert during this mission."

Lee watched in disbelief to the previous event of a sudden attack and then...normal? These leaf shinobi were something. She just hoped she could meet their expectations with her style and ability in combat. For now, all she did was follow them happy she was greatly familiar with their environment and location.

"So-" she began, "-what is the mission? Where are we going-um-" she forgot she didn't know the man's name yet and quieted sheepishly diverting her eyes from his and continued hoping she would not recieve a beating for her failure to remain proper and formal.

Kakashi looked over suspiciously at her and slowly paced with his hands in his pockets. "The name's, Kakashi. And we're on a mission to investigate why and how a team of ours here in the village got killed, and to find the ones responsible." He then placed a hand on his chin and turned away from them. [This girl seems pretty clueless...... but she'll do] He then looked above his shoulder, still walking as he said to them both, "Oh, and by the way- this is an S-Rank mission."

"Kakashi? Hm....okay. I am Love Lee of the sand. Please, allow me to assist you both if you need help. I know this place like the back of my hand! Oh-what is this?" she said while slowing down to ease her breathing. She had never been affected by an injury like this. She worried it was permanent and shook the thought off before coontinuing as if nothing happened.

"S-Rank eh? So today I will have some fun! Master hasn't been in much trouble lately so my missions with him have been as low as B and such so this is great!" she yipped smiling to herself before continuing in almost a gallop like skip.

Neji looked ahead of him but felt so guilty for hurting her and causing her to have trouble breathing. "S-rank you say...interesting."he nodded.

"Neji kun, how often do you engage in such thrilling adventures, hm?" she asked with a slight smile and continued forward a lot more comfortable with the sand than grass. Her steps were a lot more graceful and less cautious now needless to worry of roots or burrowing animals.

Neji looked at her and shrugged."Whenever we are assigned.Sometimes,the missions are simple and sometimes the missions mean that your life is at risk.I go on missions quite often."he said while looking at the area.

She smiled at him and said, "Well I expect you to be alive after this one. After all, if I could not kill you myself nobody can."

Lee then looked at the man leading them, "So-why is your face so covered? I am curious to know um-Kakashi? Are you not sweating beneath it all?" Lee was leaning towards him more now staring at his bizarre choice in clothing. She of course looked crazy being that she wore summer things all the time telling people to lighten their layers of clothing in even the coldest of weather.

He stopped and softly grasped his konoha headband, closing his eyes in grief. "That's not for you to know, but if you want to know what's under my mask............." he said, slowly clutching it and pulling it down. "....Then you'll need skill to get there." he rudely said as he pulled off his mask and another mask appeared behind it. "But thats not today's mission, Lee. You two must work together as a team to fight off the hordes of the sand village gang, known as the Reapers of Dust. Of course, I mean, I'll be helping, but I need to know if you qualify for any further missions like this." He then turned around and thought to himself once more... Lee, that name is very familiar...... could she be the sister of......... He then shook his head and raised his hand in command to stop as they reached the cave the gang was supposedly in. He then said quietly to Neji "Go up to that rooftop and see if you can find a way in; me and Lee will enter the front door and meet up with you in the shadows."

He then acknowledged a go signal.

Neji nodded and activated his Byakugan.He left quickly,with his Byakugan showing him the inside of the cave,he easily found a passage above and entered it quietly.He landed soundlessly in the cave and found he had not yet been detected.

Lee unsure of why she was told nothing as to understand where Neji left to simply watched Kakashi feeling a growing impatience with him. It was unlike her but she felt anxious around him. She wasn't sure if it was because he creeped her out or because....he was annoying? She had no idea but wanted to get moving.

"Now what?" she asked quietly wondering how bad this gang truly was for it to be an S-rank mission.

He stopped and halted Lee, as the gang was right in front of them, lined up. "Hm..... about a hundred in this section. You ready to prove yourself, new meat?" He said as he slowly walked out and smiled brightly, approaching the hundred members. "Oi! What're you doing here? This place is off limits to civilians! If you value your life, leave now." An elite member said to Kakashi as he put his hands behind his back slowly and did hand signals so the gang didnt see. "Oh? But I was sent here as entertainment for your ringleader, friend...... and you're about to experience a grand show...." He said as he revealed his One eyed Sharingan and yelled out "Water Dragon Jutsu!" and a huge dragon of water crashed towards the hundreds of members and they staggered out of the way, flying back and forth by the deadly waves. Kakashi then concealed his headband so Lee wouldnt see it, looked back at her and said "Okay, go and finish them off." He then called into his microphone. "Neji, now!" He yelled as he jumped along the beams on the ceiling, looking for the ringleader's quarters while Neji and Lee distracted the frontlone.

Lee cringed having lost an opportunity to see something and nodded with a slight grin. She sped of and used the water he cast in the place to her advantage. She did a leg sweep that thrusted up water and then after thrashing back some, she hid shuriken between her fingers and used them to pierce as she punched and made direct contact killing them off by the dozen with rapid slashes.

As soon as she finished after stomping on an elites skull she turned to Kakashi with blood marking her and asked with a wild smile for the morbid situation she was in, "What now?"

Neji heard the call and was on the scene in no time flat. He had the whole front line down and out,with the help of Lee of course.Neji looked at the slightly sick looking Lee and frowned. "We're done here. We should go back up Kakashi."he said to her and left to follow the masked jonin.

Kakashi was dead on the ringleader's trail. He could smell a thick aroma filled ramen fit for only such a type of person. He then stopped and held two fingers on his ear. "Neji, I'm in front of the Ringleader's quarters. You and Lee follow my trail of breadcrumbs and it'll lead you to my position. Oh, and they arent literally bread crumbs..." He then silently landed in front of the sliding door- he could see the Ringleader's shadow behind the thin cloth door. He knew one quick movement and the Ringleader could be alerted, so he hid in a trash can and waited for Neji and Lee to show up.

Neji grabbed Lee's wrist and led her to Kakashi's position.He looked around then at the trash can.He sat beside the can and whispered. "Kakashi sensei?"

His head poked out of the trash can. "Yeah, you found me. Now lets find a way in without alerting the Ringleader and getting killed."

Neji smiled and nodded. "Understood Kakashi sensei."he said and looked inside with his Byakugan. "He is with only two others. We should each enter from a different side to surround them don't you think?"he asked him.
