"Kakashi, will you accept this mission?" The Godaime held out the scroll to the Jounin, "I can find another...but for Naruto's sake it would be best if it were you."
Kakashi was especially glad for his mask today, looking at the scroll from where he was perched pretending to read the latest of the Icha Icha Paradise series, he'd been listening.
"It was to my understanding that you have no current attachment in that department and that you seem to have a reputation for talent in this as well." The Godaime set the scroll on the edge of the desk. "If you refuse I'll have to ask someone who probably would not make it easy or...even relatively painless for that matter. I'm sure that you've noticed the signs, the wild fluxations and exhaustion that Naruto has been dealing with as he's attempted and so far succeeded in controlling the Kyuubi's impulses, but that will wear down."
"Why not a Iruka or Sasuke?" Kakashi asked as he turned the page his eye directed at the book.
"Iruka and Sasuke are only Chuunin's they wouldn't have sufficient talent to overwhelm the Kyuubi, even sealed, if Naruto wants to resist, also it would probably destroy their relationships with Naruto. Naruto sees Iruka as an older brother figure and will probably need comfort after this mission is completed. Sasuke...well Sasuke would probably reject the mission out of hand, you've seen how their relationship as rivals is, Sasuke if he did accept it, hasn't the experience to make it a pleasant one, he'd follow it to the letter and not allow for Naruto to take charge at any one point...and Naruto would resent Sasuke being in charge... as mature and grown up as they've...well as grounded as they... as they are they have insufficient balance in their relationship for a task like this to be successfully accomplished." The Godaime paused then added, "Beside that there is a likelihood of the two of them having a sexual relationship in the future at some point, probably after Sasuke has gotten married and has children...he'll realize...ahem. There is also the fact that Sasuke hasn't been cleared to go on killing missions." The Godaime shrugged and sipped sake from the container she'd opened when she'd proposed Kakashi take the mission.
"What about a female Jounin?" Kakashi wasn't refusing and he already knew he would take the mission, as potentially traumatizing as it may end up being, he even knew why she'd chosen him for the mission, but he wanted to figure out how much the Godaime had concealed about the Kitsune no Kyuubi.
"Because he's too potent, also that there would have to be multiple female Jounins involved, one or more would end up in bad way, also there are indications that Naruto isn't excessively interested in females despite his infatuation with Sakura all those years ago," Godaime, "Besides with the exception of Anko, most of the female Jounin aren't willing and those that are too weak. Despite the face that Naruto is only a Chuunin, he's stronger than most of the Jounin. You and I both know that the reason Naruto is still a Chuunin is because the village elders don't want Naruto to be powerful, whatever his strength they don't want to see him raise to a place where he can master the skills that will allow him to be qualified as a candidate to be the next Hokage. This mission will take care of both his... instability and force the council to accept him as a Jounin nomination it'll clear the way for the wayward favorite son of the Konoha to be approved for Jounin standing as well." The Godaime gave Kakashi a shrewd look, and tipped back another saucer of sake.
"We'll leave in 3 days for mountain country, it'll take 4 days to get there, between three and five to track the missing nin, at least one to access the situation. Naruto will dispatch them." Hakete Kakashi shut his book, making a cracking noise as he stood up, "Upon which we'll go on to complete the second part of the mission." The Jounin picked up the scroll and tucked it into his vest, "Was there anything else you wanted, Hokage?"
"Just be...careful, he'll be fragile after he kills the missing nin." The Godaime sucked back more sake, "He's not had a lot of care, so please treat him gently."
"I'll inform him of the mission, I take it that the second part of the mission is unlimited, as much time as necessary so that he comes back complete and whole? Will there be a clean up crew?" Kakashi tucked his book into his vest as well.
"Yes, yes, thank you Kakashi, I knew I could count on you." The door shut behind Kakashi and the Sannin brought out a second bottle of sake and drank straight from the bottle, life was going to be...upsetting until her favorite Konoha nin returned from his mission, worse yet he wasn't even gone...
~~
"Hokage-sama, are you ready? I have the scrolls, they've just arrived from cloud country. I wonder what kind of jutsu...Hokage-sama..." Sakura saw the Hokage passed out drunk on top of her desk the ground littered with sake bottles. What this time? Over the years the Tsunade had become a decent Hokage, she rarely drank to horrible excess except when under extreme stress... After Rock Lee's accident she'd even taken to continuing to do original research to provide the medic-nins with new jutsu to help fix dire injuries.
"I'll take them back to my office and start reading them..." Sakura said out loud, it gave her a feeling like she was actually talking with Tsunade-sama, instead of a comatose body, but then over the decades of heavy drinking Tsunade had learned to take in information even passed-out, dead drunk.
Sakura went back to her office, it shared a door with Tsunade's other assistant Shizune's office. Sitting at the table she read the scrolls, she wished that Sasuke would get a girlfriend already. She set the scroll down and brooded at it. She and Sasuke were hardly friends, they'd been teammates before he left and when he came back after being rescued, Sakura had found that the only people that Sasuke wanted anything to do with were Shikamaru, Neji, and Naruto, everyone else he just tolerated. It was ironic that he wanted to hang out with Shikamaru, but apparently he like to brood, and if he had to have company by orders of the council then playing shuugo with Shikamaru was better than gossiping girls.
It was distressing to see it when Sasuke and Neji got together, Neji 'supervising' Sasuke had for the first few months had consisted of the two trying to kill each other, Sasuke had at first been better than Neji due to the combat experience he'd logged killing people for Orochimaru, while they were both Chuunin the sparing matches had even ANBU and Jounin showing up to watching, betting who was going to win that day, or if it would end up in a tie.
She'd learned the hard way to leave Sasuke alone. As in he wasn't interested period, when Sasuke had become icily upset at her continued attempts to make him notice her, shoved her into a corner and told her that if she didn't stop coming over to 'shake her ass' at him he was going to cut off her nose...he'd taken his rescue badly to put it lightly. He'd been so out of it for the first month or so that watching Sasuke had been Kakashi's full time mission.
Sakura after that incident finally got a clue, Lee had still been hanging around in love with her and she decided if she couldn't have Sasuke, she'd have 'fuzzy eyebrows' whom at 18 looked a bit less freaky then he had at 13. Sakura had even managed to talk him into letting his eyebrows be plucked, after which he'd refused to go near a salon again. Which coincidently made him pretty attractive since his hair grew out enough to have a longish pony tail. A bit more convincing, with rewards, bribes, and punishments as appropriate had gotten him to lose to green training outfit--at least when they were together doing something that wasn't training. However he was still as genki and happy as ever.
Lee was pleased and properly cowed by the inner Sakura, he said he liked beautiful women with attitude. Sakura blushed as she thought about how their relationship had bloomed the past two years, Lee knew better than to propose, but that didn't mean that he didn't do little romantic things, which Sakura had carefully pointed out when they first started dating.
It's just that Sasuke at 20 was hotter than Sasuke at 12, 13, or even 17. It would make it easier on the girls if he just found someone to restore the Uchiha clan with, she doubted that he'd even have to marry the girls...he could probably sweet talk a few into having his babies even if he cheated and got several girls pregnant, which a drunken Kiba had suggested at the last part with alcohol. That had really spiced up the party as he'd ended up hung by his boxers from a roof tied up in wire so he couldn't free himself until Akamaru's barking had called someone responsible enough and also brave enough to brave Sasuke's wrath.
As things stood Sasuke was distressingly single and had her fellow Chuunin throwing themselves at the bad boy, with the exception of Ino and Hinata. Ino was dating Choji, who while still pleasantly plump was tall and muscular under all his extra weight. Hinata was in a strange relationship with Neji, not dating, but certainly spending a lot of extra time with him. He seemed to be helping her grow a backbone, Hinata also seemed to be in a strange relationship with Naruto, but that one despite his friendship with Neji, was frowned upon by her family, as far as Sakura had gotten Hinata to talk they were just friends. The family seemed to be trying to urge Hinata to if she wasn't going to choose someone like 'that Nara boy' then to find someone to strengthen the bloodline. All the Genin were after him too, even some of the enterprising newly graduated boys much to his frustration.
Sakura was about to explode with sexual frustration on either his or Naruto's behalf. Naruto hadn't to her surprise retaken up his infatuation, instead he'd gone to being completely oblivious to girls workings single mindedly on getting good enough to get Sasuke away from Orochimaru. The two boys much to her frustration weren't dating, she would have preferred that Sasuke if he didn't want her to be gay... When Naruto, Jiraiya had rescued Sasuke in assistance to Tsunade, and a lot of ANBU, well InnerSakura twitched, in the course of killing Orochimaru and disposing of the Sound Hidden Village, before Orochimaru could get the body of the youngest of the remaining Uchiha clan for his own, it hadn't been strictly speaking a rescue mission. It had in fact only become one at Naruto's insistence, he'd engaged Sasuke in a battle to prevent him from helping Orochimaru, it had been something to watch, Sakura had been there as a medic-nin. Naruto and Sasuke had fought to a standstill, will Sasuke attempting to kill Naruto a few time, or so it seemed to her eye. Naruto had his frog sit, on Sasuke when he'd attempted to flee at the end of the battle with Orochimaru's death. Sakura couldn't help but think that the two of them had a strange friendship.
~~
"Naruto, get ready for a long mission, you're leaving in four days." Kakashi stopped by the training fields to speak to Naruto, he'd been sparing with Sasuke, they only ever fought where no one could see them, returning to the village every time in ripped clothing. After their first few fights where Sasuke had managed to shred every orange object of clothing that Naruto owned Sakura had happily dragged him shopping and filled his wardrobe with black outfits. If Kakashi hadn't known better he would have thought that Sasuke and Sakura were in a plot to rid the boy of his orange clothing. Naruto's clothing after he'd taken to wearing all black had resulted in fewer shopping trips to replace clothing. He still had one orange jacket, but it spent most his time in the closet.
"Kakashi-sensei! What is it?" Naruto bounced with all the energy he'd had at 12 he still loved to go on missions.
"A rank, going to take out a few missing nin." Kakashi noticed not for the first time, but maybe for the first time with personal relevance that Naruto had shot up and filled out over the years, his black wardrobe had done wonders to making him look less goofy and more serious. He noticed the pulsating of the seal around Naruto's stomach as he stretched his shirt lifting to reveal his belly button. "I'll be accompanying you on this mission, it'll be your job to dispatch the missing nin." This was the first mission that Naruto was being sent on with the explicit reason to kill, he'd killed by accident before, while making sure that he or whom ever he was protecting didn't die, but never for this sole intent."
"Ah, you better do a good job, dobe." Sasuke who had been standing silently next to Naruto said whapping him on the head.
"Oi! I'll do it perfectly, teme!" Kakashi watched the carefully constructed act between the two young men, Naruto had spent a lot of time around Sasuke while he was under house arrest carefully coaxing him back into their old relationship. Sasuke had given Naruto the silent treatment for several weeks before cracking under the onslaught of cheerful insults from the orange loving boy. Naruto had quieted down in the time that Sasuke had been gone, not so much that he wasn't still recognizable as the "total moron" that had plague Sasuke, but a more serious deadly version of his childish rival, who'd become his most serious foe. Kakashi wasn't certain what Naruto did, but whatever it was enough for the balance to be restored between the two. They were inseparable friends and rivals, unless you across them on a mission which where usually assigned separately to them, you'd find them together doing something. Where you found one the other usually wasn't far. As of yet he hadn't witnessed any sexual tension between the two of them, but then Naruto was so clueless that if it had been there it probably wouldn't have registered.
Sasuke after being released from house arrest had moved into the Uchiha mansion, Naruto had taken up residence in a different room a few days later. They'd ended up the same height, Naruto a few pounds of muscle heavier and broader across the shoulders than Sasuke's narrow, lithe build. Naruto had taken to eating things besides ramen and given up his complaining about missing ramen at death threats from Sasuke.
"Bring your camping gear, you don't need to add extra training before we leave, unless you want to work on your fine chakra control, meet you by the bridge on that morning." Kakashi walked off with a wave of his hand, his ecchi book in hand.
"Teme!" Naruto swore after his teacher, he had an abundance of chakra and using exactly the right amount was something that he was still working on 8 years later, the smaller the amount the worse his control, but he was much better at it than most people, even if he didn't had the perfect control of Neji, Sakura, and Sasuke. He turned to glare at Sasuke as he heard the low, husky chuckle that few people ever ear. "I can always work on it at the Uchiha estate..." Naruto said turning to follow after Kakashi back to town and the Uchiha mansion.
"Dobe, like I'm going to let you walk away in the middle of a match." Sasuke said as he lobbed a ball of chakra at Naruto's head. "We only stopped because someone was watching, come on I'll beat you," Sasuke taunted.
"Yeah, I'd like to see that I'm destine to the next Hokage!" Naruto launched back into the their never ending match, one that never ended it only even briefly stopped.
Kakashi accepts a mission that may make or break Naruto. Set in the future after defeat of Orochimaru. Itachi however is still out there. Naruto age 20, Sasuke returned to the village age 17 he spent two years unable to leave the village and was remanded to Kakashi's care.
