It was quite a fine evening in Konoha.

Not to mention, in a few minutes will the sun set over the monument of four great ninjas, giving the whole village a golden glow before finally disappearing into the darkness.

Also, on this rather warm evening, a certain Team 7 had just completed their daily list of glorified chores-or D rank missions, which seemed to multiply infinitely for some reason.

"GAH!! We water 30 miles of wheat fields and get only 600 RYO!!! What's with this Granny!!" Naruto complained, which wasn't per say and extremely rare occasion, but the oddity was his two teammates actually AGREEING to his rant.

Sakura gave a diplomatic smile, while still expressing frustration and said, "For once, Naruto is Right. My parents are out of town a while and all I have is what I earn by missions this week."

"Hn" Sasuke grunted, somewhy leaning toward affirmative.

"I know right!! AND I HAVE MY WHOLE MONTH TO SUSTAIN!! NOT JUST A WEEK!!!"

Well, those electricity, water and god knows else bills aren't gonna pay themselves.

Tsunade just rubbed her temples and gestured towards Kakashi, who gave a long sigh as he snapped his orange book shut, gaining the attention of three inquisitive teenagers.

"You know, back when I was a kid, for a task such as this we would barely have scrapped 250 Ryo. Inflation aside, these are the side effects of war. Back during the Third great ninja war, the average payroll for a C-rank mission was around 750 ryo, what you guys usually get for a D-rank mission. During war, every one, is affected. Shinobi lose lives, the civilian stock market crashes, even the Daimiyo goes insanely poor. And even though konoha seems in a good shape, we had a home assault from a major as well as minor village, essentially waging a 1-day war with them cost the village. Deal with it."

Naruto pouted.

The Fifth Hokage cleared her throat,
"However, to address some of your financial problums, you can always request another mission"

Celeruan orbs lit up.

"Now we have this house cleaning mission, which for some reason is worth 1200 ryo to each of you. Do you want to take it?"

Kakashi frowned. That was exceptionally high, for a D-rank that is.

"And what may be the mission, Milady?"

Tsunade cast kakashi a weary look and said, "We had a request from Tamaki Nohara, to clear her dead daughters bedroom. She is having another child and would want to make that a baby room."

Kakashi stiffened.

His blood turned cold.

Violent flashbacks of Rin coughing up blood and repeating his name started filling his mind.

"Are you okay Kakashi?? You look rather pale." Asked shizune as she bought in a new stack to paperwork, much to Tsunade's dissappointment.

Meanwhile, naruto and co. Had decided to accept the mission, and were now heading out.

"C'mon sensei, we need to find Tamaki-obaa's house"

Oh, Kakashi knew where was the house was alright, he was going down a trip to memory lane. This time with monsters.

A/N- Well lets say Tamaki was pregnant with Rin when she was 16 so this way she is 42ish now that is legitimate according to civilian standards.
