Hatake Kakashi, was an exeptional shinobi, chunin at 6, Jounin at 12, ANBU at 14, and an unspoken candidate for hokage.

But currently, he was also, the glorified babysitter- I mean- Jounin sensei of three, rather 'troublesome' gennin.

Since yesterday, after getting a 6 hour long scolding from the god of shinobi, he was planning on a super-ultra-lame excuse for being later than usual, that would make obito proud.

But, he arrived at the meeting spot, only to find it empty. He shrugged it off. Usually, ninja got a week off after an A-rank or higher, Sakura may have informed them, book-smarts and all, but all he wanted to do was tell his cute little gennin that they were to collect their mission pay.

All seemed fine and well, but today morning, he got another notice from the hokage saying that team 7 needed to pick up some bills.

So he went looking for them.

At first he went to Naruto's little home, only to find it empty, so he left a note at the table.

then he rung Sakura's doorbell. None answered. Alright, if it was Naruto or Sasuke, he would undestand, they lived alone, and were training freaks.

But Sakura? She would probably spend all her time fawning over herself gazing in the mirrior, trying to look good for Sasuke.

Although, after the last mission...

He was not sure.

So he decided to do what he did to inform their blonde teammate, and wrote a note. As he proceeded to stick it on the fridge door however, there was another note from Sakura's mother saying that they had left for an urgent meeting to the Land of Tea, and there were sandwiches in the microwave.

Okay, that explained the absence of her parents, but Sakura?

He quickly checked the microwave and found two unopened foil wrapped sandwiches.

Now he was tense.

Nah, maybe she went to a sleepover or something to Ino's

He'd better get to Sasuke. Maybe he knew of his teammates, Sakura probably asked him out on a date, and Naruto asked him to spar.

Oddly enough, when he visited Sasuke's flat, it was empty.

So there, he spent the whole morning looking for his cute/missing gennin.

To say he was panicked was an understatement.

To say he was paranoid was also an understatement, but he didn't know that, obviously.

Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, Chouji, had not heard from any of them at all,

Hinata had seen Naruto walk over to Team 7's bridge more than 24 hrs ago,

Ino being the fangirl she was asked Sasuke out while he was crossing her flowershop,

Lee and Gai had seen Sakura while doing youthful morning laps around Konoha,

But that's it.

Not any Jounin, Chunin, Anbu, Genin, Civillian had seen three 12-year old's for the past day.

Now he was running scenario's in his head

Maybe the Hidden Stone recognised the son of the Yellow Flash, or Hidden Cloud heard about the rumors that circulated through Wave country, and decided upon the Red Hot Habenearo's son, and Sasuke interfeared and was taken for the sharingan, and Sakura was captured for M rated purposes.

Or maybe Itachi came to finish what he started and killed off the other two for trauma's sake.

Or maybe- No, this was no time for speculations, he'd already failed Minato-sensei, Rin, and Obito, and somewhat his father too.

So, he did the only thing he could think off and summoned pakkun.

Unfortunately, because of the rain the previous night, their scent had been washed out.
