Chapter 3: D.S.I
Despite the storm, there was still a few parts of the forest out side of Konoha that survived. After Kakashi talked to Jiraiya and caught up on some well deserved rest with Iruka, he decided it would be the perfect time to track down everyone else. Iruka was confused about why Kakashi was doing this in the middle of the night, but Kakashi was Kakashi after all.
“It’s the middle of the night.” Kiba rubbed his eyes and sat up, his back against a downed tree with his elbows propped behind him on top of it. “You couldn’t have waited until the morning?” He asked with an annoyed tone.
“I would have done it sooner but a black cat crossed my path and I had to go around.” Kakashi said. Iruka glanced over at him and shook his head, smiling in amusement. Kakashi was…an interesting person, he often wondered how he ended up with an ordinary guy like him.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and sighed exasperatedly, he was fine with Kakashi and usual lateness…in the daytime. Now it was just annoying, “We’re all here.” He said, prompting Kakashi to hurry up. Konohamaru, sitting next to him, could barely keep his eyes open though he was determined to try. Konohamaru wanted to help Konoha, even if that meant the loss of sleep.
“Yeah, come on already!” Naruto shouted, Kakashi was interrupting a well deserved sleep. Not Naruto’s though, as tired as he was Gaara was the one who needed sleep. Needless to say Gaara was pretty mad that Kakashi decided to do this now, more so then anyone else. He was also the most coherent and alert out of all of them, he could easily go back to not sleeping so whenever he was awake he was always ready to do anything.
The same couldn’t be said about everyone else who were barely ready to do this.
Kakashi reached into his back pocket and pulled out the sheets of paper he’d gotten from Jiraiya earlier today. “I got the information.”
“So we have permission to do this?” Kiba asked.
Kakashi shook his head, “No. No one else knows about this unless one of you said something. Has anyone?” Kakashi looked around, each of them gave some type of a negative answer.
“Then this wont work.” Neji said “If the Konoha’s counsel doesn’t want us to do this, then they’ll stop us before we can take our first mission.”
“Is there anyway around that?” Kiba asked.
“No.” Kakashi said plainly.
“So there’s no way we can do this?” Naruto asked.
“I didn’t say that.” Kakashi sat down against a tree next to Iruka, “We can still do this with out alerting the counsel, but there’s one condition.”
Everyone listened carefully, all of them watching Kakashi though they could just barely see him through a stray ray of moon light that shined through the trees “We can’t associate in anyway with Konoha or the village of the leaf.”
“Huh?” Maybe it was because he was barely awake but Konohamaru didn’t quite understand that. “What do you mean?”
“You all know that if other villages think that we have the capability to perform missions, our chances of getting help from them are next to none.” Kakashi explained. “So if all of you are serous about doing this, your going to have to disown and disavowal Konoha completely. That‘s the only way we‘ll be able avoid interference.”
“So the only way we can do this is as mercenaries.” Gaara wasn’t apposed to the idea, he wasn’t technically with the Leaf anyway and everyone knew as such. He was called Gaara of the sand, disowning the Leaf wasn’t really that hard for him.
It was however for a few other people, “There’s no other way?” Naruto asked, Kakashi shook his head, there really wasn’t any other way to do this. With a sigh he held his head down and reached back, slowly untying the forehead protector.
Iruka watched as Naruto looked down at it, he knew Naruto was reluctant to part with it. He’d done so much and waited so long to obtain it, for him that was the first steep to achieving his dream. It wasn’t something he enjoyed watching. Naruto finally shoved it into his back pocket, he didn’t have a chance to become Hokage anymore, what was the point of still wearing this?
Following suit, everyone else did the same, removing the last symbol of a destroyed village. “Can I hold on to them?” Konohamaru asked, his gaze steadily down on his shirt which held the Leaf’s insignia. He also was reluctant to part with it, it was his favorite shirt, and if he wasn’t old enough to go to ninja academy and earn the official proof of the leaf, this was the next best thing to him.
Though he didn’t know exactly why Konohamaru wanted to do this, Sasuke handed his forehead protector over to him anyway. “Here, go ahead.” Kiba tossed his over to Konohamaru, Neji did the same, followed by Naruto, Kakashi and Iruka.
He look down at them gratefully, then noticing he was one short. “Gaara…Can I have yours too?” Gaara looked at him questingly, he wasn’t sure why Konohamaru would want his since he was from the Sand. He took it off the strap of his gourd and handed it over to the boy unadversely. “Thanks, I’ll hold on to these.” He said, giving the items a slightly protective look.
“If we can’t do this as ninja’s of Konoha, what do we do this as?” Iruka asked, “Every mercenary organization has a name.”
“I got one!” Konohamaru said excitedly. “Konohamaru corps…number 2.”
“No way!” Naruto said. “I have a better one, Uzumaki--”
“No.” Sasuke immediately cut him off getting glaring look from Naruto.
Seeing this was going to end up as a large augment, Kiba quickly changed the subject knowing they should come back to it later. Maybe when everyone was more dozy and too incoherent to start a fight. “Hey uh…8 people is kinda a lot to only handle one mission at a time.” Kiba said, a little proud of his quick thinking. “Shouldn’t we split up and take separate missions, we’d gain more money that way.”
“Your right.” Iruka agreed “We should probably break up into something smaller to take on more….groups of 2 might be too small for all of you to handle…so we‘ll split in half.”
Everyone looked around at each other, what 4 people would they really want to work with? “And try to keep it balanced out.” Kakashi said. There was a small silence of contemplation between them, but Sasuke didn’t really even have to think about it.
“I want my team.” He said plainly, and when he said this he obviously wasn’t referring to team 7. Kiba and Neji were a little surprised that he didn’t even conceder anyone else, truth was that he worked better with them then anyone else and it was a somewhat balanced.
Sasuke was the speed of the team, even though Konohamaru was faster chances were Sasuke would try and keep him away from any fights. Neji was the scout and generally informational, with his Bakyugan and his knowledge he filled the position. Kiba was the power, he was the hard hitter of the group that also served as a tracker. This team did have a sense of well-roundedness.
“Guess that leaves us together again.” Naruto said. Naruto was the obvious speed of the team, maybe he could be more if he could control the Kuybi’s charka better. Iruka was the most knowledgeable on these types of matters so he was generally the informant, and with his skills he was an effective tracker. Gaara was the power of the team, and with his sand as a defense he was suited to be the scout, the first person to check out the situation and be in danger. Kakashi was a mix of everything, so he was flexible on other positions.
And clearly the leader of the team were apparent, Sasuke was the head of his team….the other team wasn’t so clear. A first glance it would be Kakashi, but it wasn’t confirmed.
“How about if we use….” Konohamaru stopped, because the other group’s leader wasn’t really curtain, he couldn’t use their names for their organization. “Never mind.”
“How about--” Naruto was once again cut off by Sasuke.
“No.” He said plainly.
“Stop doing that!” Naruto shouted.
Sasuke looked at him sideways, “We don’t want anything that involves any part of your name.”
Naruto shot another glare at him, “Fine! But it was my idea.”
“I got one, How about…” Kiba’s voice trailed off “No, that’s just stupid, never mind.”

They sat there another hour trying to come up with a decent name, or in Sasuke’s case, preventing the ones he deemed unfit.
“I give up.” Kiba sighed “I’m a few seconds away from just calling us those guys.”
“Giving up already? Keep going this is very entertaining.” Kakashi laid his head back against the tree.
“Forget it, it’s imposable to come up with a name that’s up to Uchiha standards.” Naruto said, shooting another look Sasuke’s way.
Kiba looked over at Neji who’d been completely quiet this whole time, “You haven’t said anything yet.” He said, “Got anything?”
Neji lifted his hand to his chin and looked upward thoughtfully… “D.S.I.”
“What dose that mean?”
“Demon Suppression Initiative.”
There was a small silence of contemplation between them, so far no objections. “Sounds good to me.” Naruto said tiredly “Any objections Sasuke ?”
“No.” Sasuke said.
“D.S.I, Not a bad choice.” Iruka said, “Now there is one other thing, positions. We need someone to manage income and profit, I think Kiba can handle that”
“Yeah, I can do it.” Kiba accepted.
“ …And we’ll need some for research on our targets, to get as much information as they can on the demons we‘ll come against…How about you Neji, you’ve always been good at that type of thing.”
Neji nodded, “Alright.”
Iruka looked around again, “And we’ll need someone to keep records, past funds, clients and mission information for future reference…Sasuke?” Sasuke gave a small accepting nod. “Next we need someone to initially go see the clients on DSI’s behalf, negotiate payment….I don’t know why I’m doing this but…Kakashi, do you think you could do that. You’ve always been good a reading people.”
“I can do it.” Kakashi said.
“Next, we need someone to actually spend the money, buy supplies for Konoha and equipment for us. Naruto?”
“Sure.” Naruto said. “But what you Iruka?’
“Yeah, your organizing everything, maybe you could be a manager or something like that.” Kiba suggested.
Iruka thought about it for a moment… He didn‘t think he was the type, but he did step up and take charge to give some direction when it was needed. He knew what needed to be done next and made sure it was done, that’s what was needed for this type of position. ”Why not.”
“What about me Iruka-sensei?” Konohamaru asked “I wanna help.”
Iruka smiled “You can help me manage…I have a feeling I’m going to need a lot of help.”
