The Foldan trio stared at Kakashi in shock, dumbfounded and confusion. Having many questions in mind.

"So....you're living with us?" Asked Sothis slowly and carefully. Still heavily confused on the current situation at hand.

Kakashi gave a sharp nod, looking up from his book, "only for a while. Lord 3rd said he rather keep you all under supervision."

~

"so, you want me to babysit them?"

Kakashi was in the Hokage's office. He stood in front was of the 3rd Hokage, who was smoking in his pipe.

The 3rd Hokage puffed up some smoke, letting out a small hum, "not the words i would put it, but pretty much" he placed pipe down on the table, "i need someone to keep a eye on them. They are not from this world and need guidance and protection."

"they seem to protect themselves just fine" Kakashi rubbed the back of his head, remembering the beatdown the Fodlan trio gave him.

The 3rd Hokage let out a small chuckled before getting serious, "i know people will be after them from this world and possibly those who have may traveled to this one from theirs. Pneuma may know our enemies, but Sothis and Edmund don't. People may try to use them to destroy the leaf or the world."

Kakashi nodded in understanding. He was aware the Akatsuki are probably the biggest problem if they find out about the Foldan trio. The ability to control time is dangerous, but in the hands of people like the Akatsuki is even more. Who knows what kind of troubles that group will do with it.

But then again, Kakashi felt like this was out of his league. Not that he doesn't have confidence in his own skills. He is one of the strongest in the leaf but then again, he was unsure if he can handle the Akatsuki by himself if one of them were to show up.

That's also not mentioning any unknown enemies that may show and try to take or even kill the Foldan trio. At the end of the day, he is going to be fighting unknown enemy.

But then again, that's what he signed up for the moment he decided to become a ninja. Every enemy is unknown and dangerous. Not only to protect his village but for those who can not protect themselves. Even though Sothis, Edmund and Pneuma can defend themselves pretty well from what he has seen.

"Very well" Kakashi spoke, finally making his choice. Plus it's temporary, right? Not like he has to live with them long term or have to protect them forever. Just keep a eye out for them, "leave it to me"

~

Pneuma just was annoyed during this whole conversation, "i survived just fine by myself and i am sure i can protect my own sister and Edmund" to a certain level, that is true. Pneuma manage to stay away from the public eye for year. Nobody has yet to find her in the leaf or was aware of her powers.

"I can protect myself and Edmund, ya know?!" Sothis's eye twitch in annoyance. She hated the feeling of being treated like a child, even though she technically looks like one and in the eyes of many, is one.

"Yes, but now there are more of you" Kakashi pointed out, crossing his arms as he placed his book down, "and people will find out one way or another. And who knows, enemies from your world may show up. We rather not risk them finding you and using your power for themselves."

The trio can't argue with that logic and as strange as Kakashi is, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions with them.  Outside of his very questionable taste in reading chooses. Seriously, what joy does he get from that? Sothis didn't really want to know.

"Anyways, can i take a nap now?"

~

"Sasuke, I'm at point B"

"Sakura, I'm at point c"

"Pneuma, point D"

"Edmund, Here are point E"

"Sothis, point F"

"Naruto, i'm at point A. Believe it!"

Kakashi sighed, inching the bridge of his nose in disappointment, "to slow, Naruto. Okay, squad 7." he paused, noticing their pray has moved, "The target has moved! Follow it"

The 6 members moved towards the bushes, using the trees as cover. Sothis really found this pointless, why can't she just use her abilities to just grab the damn feline?!

"what's your distance from the target?" Asked Kakashi, who was a good distance away. Speaking through this thing called a mic.

"5 meters" Said the dark pink haired male, "we're ready. Just give the signal"

"Okay....now!"

Team 7 jumped into actions, cornering the brown cat. Sothis was first to pick up the cat, gentle holding him in her arms.

"Such a small thing..." Sothis hummed as the cat. Byleth spend a lot of time with animals in the monastery, mainly cats, she grew somewhat fond of the creatures.

"can you verify a ribbon? right ear?" Asked Kakashi, why was he still hiding in the trees? The mission is just to pick up one cat.

"Yes, sir" Edmund said as he went over to pet the cat. He purred a bit under the touch, "we got a positive ID"

~

Sothis now understood why the cat, now known as Torah, ran away. He was being smushed to death by the owner. If she was that cat, she would ran away too. Better at it, dig a hole and die.

"I miss the missions back at the academy" Sothis said, mainly to herself, "Like I know they are dangerous but at least more entertaining than this...." Lately these missions bored her, the first few were okay but lately they were getting the same old story.

"Yeah..." Edmund somewhat like the easy-going missions, but they didn't feel the same as the ones back at the academy in Foldan.

Pneuma had her hands behind her back. Humming in agreement, "and Ayla she was entertaining to watch" Yeah, that Red haired girl. Sothis remembers her from mostly working in the Golden deer class but does often come along in missions for the Blue lions, due to the class being fond of her. Funny that woman was.

"yeah.....good times" Sothis said. Oh, how much she missed her world. Yes, it wasn't perfect but it was hers. She missed Byleth, the students, her granddaughters....

Sothis has zooned out of whatever conversation team 7 was having with the Hokage, even when Naruto started yelling about how he wasn't a little kid anymore. Like she said, she didn't pay any attention. At least until this smelly guy walked in pretty sure he is somewhat drunk.

"What the--" The guy stared at team 7 in shock, annoyance and a bit of disappointment, "a bunch of little snot nosed kids?" before drinking more of his beer...or was it alcohol? Sothis didn't care.

Sothis stared back, surprised when lord 3rd said this guy was the one they were supposed to protect, ".......HIM?!"

When the man finished his drink, he leaned against the wall, "and you two, the ones with the pointy ears and weird clothes and you, the one with the idiotic look on your face. You really expect me to believe you three are ninja?"

Naruto started laughing, "who's the one with the idiotic look on his face?" he had his hands on his hips, "sucks to be him"

Team 7 lined up. Sasuke was the tallest, then Edmund, then Sakura, then Naruto. Sothis and Pnuema were around the same height. Sothis took note that she looked a bit taller, but that could be because of her hair.

Sothis then realize.....did that man just insult her, her sister and Naruto?

"we'll demolish you!"

Kakashi held back Naruto with easy while Pnuema held back a very annoyed and upset Sothis, "you both can't demolish the client, Naruto. Sothis. It doesn't work that way"

"Sister, calm yourself" Pnuema said before sighing, "We really need to get you new clothes after this misson..." come to think of it, why are they taking so long to even go shopping? Oh well...

The man said his name was Tazuna, a master bridge builder. Something about returning to his home country and needs protection until he completes his mission, which the group agreed to. Some more willingly then others.

~

After packing, the group began to leave the village, Naruto seemed to be the most excited about leaving since from what he claimed, never left the village before. Which Tazuna scoffed at.

Naruto pointed at Tazuna, annoyed, "someday, i'm gonna be Hokage and you'll look up to me! My name is Naruto Uzamaki! Remember it!"

'Will the old man even live that long?' Sothis thought to herself, she somewhat doubts it since the man has a drinking problem and will probably be dead in the next few years. If not this one.

Sothis's ear twitch, she heard movement coming from the forest. She turned her head, facing the direction of the forest. Nobody was there. She could have sworn she heard at least two people running in their direction.

"sister?" Pnuema tapped Sothis's shoulder, getting the older Goddess's attention, "we're leaving"

Sothis didn't noticed the group was ahead of herself and her sister. The older goddess didn't realize how lost in thought (all alone) she was. I guess she should brush off the feeling of being watched for now.

Sothis and Pnuema catch up to the group just in time to hear Sakura asked Tazuna, "Hey, Mr. Tazuma?"

"What now?" Asked the barely sobber man, already annoyed with whatever the cherry blossom gal was going to ask.

"You're from the land of waves, right?" Sakura asked. Didn't he already answer that earlier? Oh, well. Sothis didn't really care.

Tazuna rolled his eyes, "yeah, what of it?"

Sakura then looked at Kakashi, "um, Kakashi-sensei? Are there ninja in that contrary too, aren't there?"

"remind me again why she is dubbed 'the smart one'?" Pnuema leaned over to whisper to the older goddess. Earning s snicker from the sleepy goddess.

Kakashi paused before answering, "No. There is no ninja in the land of waves. But in other countries, there are hidden villages" he said, "Each with their own customs and cultures, where ninja reside"

Sothis blanked out when Kakashi started to explain about the different ninja lands and such. Pneuma explained it to her and Edmund before in more detail. so, there was no need to pay any attention now.

"Well, there are no battles in a C rank mission. So, you can relax" Kakashi had a close eyed smile, patting Edmund's head as he tried to calm the nerves of his students.

Pnuema eyes Tazuna, taking a note when she noticed him tense up when Kakashi said there would be no battles. It made her think he was hiding something.

They walked further along the trail, mostly in silence. Sothis noticed something odd. There was a puddle one the side of the path. This wouldn't be odd if it had rain recently, but it hasn't. Also, Even if it had, why is there only one water puddle in the middle of nowhere and not anywhere else?

"Why are you staring at a puddle?" Sakura asked Sothis, noticing said Goddess stopping in her tracks, "You never saw one before?"

"Where you born to never shut up?" Sothis asked Sakura, not even looking at the pink haired female. She summoned the sword of the creator and aimed at the puddle.

Just then, the puddle disappeared swiftly and jumped out two men, chains in their hands. The duo went for Kakashi, wrapping the chains around the man before ripping him appart.

Everyone stared in shock for a moment before Edmund and Sothis jumped into action. The eldest goddess summoned the sword of the creator, using it to cut the chain in half with ease. The aiming the sword and using it to pin one of the chunin brothers to a tree,

Edmund grabbed a kunai, quickly jumping into action. He used this opportunity to slice the other chunin brother's throat when he was to focused on Sothis.

Kakashi showed up from seemingly nowhere. When looking at the rubble when Kakashi was 'killed'. There was wood instead of flesh, much to the students and Tazuna's relief.

Kakashi turned to face the orange jumpsuit ninja, "Naruto, sorry i didn't help you right away. I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I just didn't think you'll freeze up like that"

He was injurd? Sothis turned her head to look at Naruto. Seeing his hand was bleeding. One of the brothers must have target him when she wasn't looking. It made her angry.

Kakashi turned his attention to Sothis and Edmund, giving a closed eye smiled, "Good job Sothis, you too, Edmund"

Naruto bawled his none injured fist. He felt useless. He couldn't help but envy Sothis and Edmund in this battle. He felt like he could have done something besides getting hurt.

"Hey..."

Naruto heard Sasuke's voice. He looked at the emo duck.

"You're not hurt are ya? Scaredy-cat" Sasuke smirked at Naruto. This made the blonde upset and the female goddess.

"Sasuke, don't speak such foolish things. It's only natural to be afraid in a life-or-death situation when you never been on the battlefield before" Sothis scolded Sasuke, her glare fix onto him. For some reason, the crushed Sasuke a little bit on the inside.

Before Naruto could charge at Sasuke, Pnuema stopped Naruto from moving, "don't move too much. The ninja who attack you used poison. It's best healing it as soon as possible" That made Naruto flinch

Kakashi began interrogating Tazuna, "we need to talk..."  The white haired male explained why he let the students do the fighting, to know who the Chunin were after. Calling out Tazuna for lying about who is truly after him.

Before this could go anywhere, Naruto stabbed his hand where he got poisoned, giving some speech about never giving up or something. Sothis just find the action more reckless then anything.

"Does he realize the blood lose will most likely kill him faster then the poison?" Asked Edmund, leaning closer towards Sothis. Naruto overheard and began freaking out.

Sothis let out a heavy sigh, walking closer to Naruto, "give me your hand, child" Naruto slowly showed his bloody hand to Sothis.

The goddess began using healing magic on him. She recalled the lessons Byleth had teach his students. Mainly his magic ones, Mercedes and Annette. Or did she already know healing magic before? She can't fully recall but that matters little. She just wanted Naruto to be safe.

Naruto stared in awe as his hand quickly heals, almost like he never stabbed his hand in the first place, "Thank you, Sothis. You're the best"

Sothis gave Naruto a small smile, it was nice to be appreciated, "There now. Is gratitude so much to ask? i did deem you worth heeling"

After dealing with the last Chunin, the group began heading to the land of waves. After Kakashi had realize they can't turn back on Tazuna now.

"well, sh**" Sothis mumbled to herself. She should embrace herself for a long annoying journey ahead.
