Kakashi looked up at the sky, and spotted a circleing hawk. He closed his book, and sighed. He was just getting settled in to finish Icha Icha Romance, his book, but now, he was getting summonded to the Hokage's office. He hoped it wasn't something Naruto did again. He stood up, perfromed a few signs, and teleported himself to the Hokage's office. He tilted his head in question, when the Hokage looked up.

"Ah, Kakashi, you're here. That was fast," He stood up, and walked around his desk. "Let's get down to buisness. There is an important person coming here from Suna, and they want some ninja protection from our village. They have one ninja escorting him, but they want you to meet them halfway. You will take a team. Naruto, Kiba, and Shikamaru. They will meetyou at the front gates in an hour,"

Kakashi nodded, and teleported himself back to his home to get ready.

"Kakashi-sensei's late....again," Naruto complained, as he paced back and forth in front of the gates. He looked down at Shikamaru who was laying in the shade of wall. Kiba was running around him with Akimaru, barking.

"Sorry, I got lost," Kakashi said, appearing before them. "Liar!" Naruto crossed his arms, and tried to look angry, but his excitment was coming out. He grinned and started down the road. "All right everyone, follow me,"

Kakashi rolled his eyes, but followed him, and the other two boys as they headed toward Suna.
