Shiro looked up at the hokage hesitantly, her team had just caught that ladies cat again, Shiro shrunk back a little as Naruto argued with the hokage
"Naruto-kun... Hokage-Sama has his reason for us to do D-rank missions" Shiro said smiling softly at her friend, Naruto pouted
"But shiro-chan! These missions are getting boring!" Shiro smiled
"I know that But it's for our own good that we continue doing D-ranks" the hokage nodded
"That is correct... Well done Shiro" Shiro smiled softly at the hokage and stood beside Kakashi who was quietly watching her and Naruto. The hokage then continued explaining about the ranks of a ninja and the missions those ranks were capable of. Kakashi sighed as Naruto began to argue again with the hokage,
Shiro sighed. Sakura glaring at her.. Shiro then smiled and stood behind Kakashi, head down slightly.. She then reached for kakashi's sleeve and pulled on it gently, kakashi looked down at her in response and raised an eyebrow
"What's the matter Shiro?"
"Hatake-Sensei... Will we train more on the mission?" Kakashi smiled at her
"Of course Shiro, don't wanna waste time" Kakashi said nodding, Shiro nodded her head slightly and tightened her grip on his sleeve..
"H-hai" Shiro whispered.. Iruka watching Shiro and Kakashi closely, a slight irk mark on his forehead as he watched them.. A sudden weird feeling filled the young teacher.. He knew he cared greatly for Shiro..but seeing her so close to kakashi, it made him feel somewhat angry... Sasuke too watched Shiro and Kakashi from the corner of his eyes. Glaring at Kakashi for being so close to thier Shiro. The hokage then said team 7 would have a C rank mission as escorts to the land of waves. Shiro frowned but nodded. Not ever being outside of the leaf ever since Naruto first found her, the hokage then asked for the client, the door then opened to reveal a sober old man holding a sake bottle. Shiro covered her nose and frowned, the man stared at her wide eyed
"You don't expect me to be protected by a bunch of snot nosed brats do you?!" The man shouted, Shiro then walked forward and smiled
"Sir, we will do our best to bring you back safely to the hidden mist" she said bowing and smiling, "okay?" Tazuna stared at the child and smirked
"Fine then" Shiro smiled at her team members getting a intense glare from Sakura who scoffed
"You can't even land a punch, there's no way you'd be able to protect this guy" sakura stated,  Naruto frowned at the hokage
"Old man! Don't let Shiro on this mission!" Naruto shouts, kakashi narrowed his eyes at the blonde although understanding the blondes reasons for Shiro not coming along, it would still be good experience for her.
"I agree! She can barely do jutsu!" Sakura shouted
"Actually, she has improved a lot more then you three put together" Kakashi spoke up, arms crossed "Shiro has been training hard, I personally would agree with you Naruto, however. It would be good experience for her" kakashi stated, Shiro looked up at her teacher and smiled a little.. Naruto frowned
"But she can't even throw a kunai right! She can't preform the jutsu!" Naruto and Sakura protested, shiro's ears lowered, even her best friend thought she would be useless in the mission. The hokage looked to the white haired girl with a soft look, thinking about it, both arguments had good reasons, both kakashi and Naruto + sakura's reasons were true. Shiro had been improving but very slowly, the client then frowned
"Excuse me?! Maybe I want the girl on this mission?!" Tazuna shouted frowning arms crossed, the whole group looked to the client
"I'd like that girl on the mission, that's finale!" Tazuna shouted, the hokage smiled a little
"That's its, Shiro will be accompanying you all to the land of waves" kakashi nodded. Sakura and Naruto then glared at Tazuna and kakashi, kakashi smirked and flinched as he felt Shiro take hold of his sleeve again
"A-arigatou.. Hatake-Sensei" Shiro shittered quietly. Kakashi nodded
"No problem Shiro, team 7!" Kakashi ordered getting all of his students attention, Shiro still attached to his sleeve
"Go get packed and meet at the gates in an hour!" Kakashi ordered, the team all nodded running off, Shiro then followed kakashi out, Tazuna as well.
"Oh I never introduced myself, I'm Tazuna, expert bridge Builder"  Tazuna said smiling, Shiro smiled back and nodded
"Arigatou for allowing me on this mission.. Tazuna-San" Tazuna blushed a little at the little girl and nodded
"No problem girly" kakashi smiled at shiro as they parted ways, Tazuna going to his hotel room and kakashi going to his place leaving Shiro to wait for an hour alone..
