~ In the forest ~

"Kakashi?!"

"Yo." Kakashi said while still trying to catch his breathe. "You and Naruto sure have a lot of stamina, I'm surprised I was able to keep up."

"Kakashi you're supposed to be at home recovering! Why did you follow me, you baka?!" You said as you helped Kakashi up and walked to where your things were. You gently helped him sit back on the tree. You were checking his temperature, pulse, breathing, whether he had any cuts and bruises. You were overreacting but you were just concerned.

"(Name), I'm fine. It's not like I just came out of a deadly battle. I just pushed my limits so I could keep up with you, nothing a break can't resolve." Kakashi said as he grabbed your hands. You sighed and looked to the ground.

"Sorry, I just... I'm really concerned Kakashi. You shouldn't be here..."

"I won't jeopardize your mission if that's what your thinking, (Name)." Kakashi said while getting closer to you. He held your face up so you'd look at him, but your eyes were still looking away.

"You need to go, Kakashi... It isn't safe for you to be just following me. This mission is more dangerous than you realize... I don't want you getting hurt.." You had on a sad expression until you felt Kakashi's hand rest on your head. You looked up and found him smiling.

"I'm a skilled ninja, (Name). I won't be taken down that easily, so relax. I can help you with you mission. Don't push me away." You sighed as you gave into Kakashi's request.

"Fine, but I still have to inform Lady Tsunade. I don't want her to freak out and think you went rogue or something." You laughed as you pulled out a scroll and started writing your letter to Tsunade.

"Just like a certain someone I know..?" Kakashi chuckled as you gave him a irritated look. After you finished writing, you bit your thumb and slammed your hand to the ground.

"Summoning no jutsu!"

POOF!

Kakashi expected a toad to appear from the smoke, but was rather surprised when he saw a tiny white tiger cub. He didn't show his reaction in his facial expression though.

"Nee-sama, do you need my help today?" The tiny cub said as it jumped onto you.

"Yes, Kimi-chan. I need you to deliver this scroll to Tsunade, as soon as possible okay? It's very urgent that she gets this." You said while petting the little cub.

"Haii! I'll deliver it at top speed! Tell boss lady I said hi!" With that, Kimi had dashed away, leaving behind a cloud of dust. As you and Kakashi coughed and tried to clear the dust in the air, you slowly made your way to him.

"Alright, you need a disguise since everyone knows who you are 'Copy Cat Ninja of the Leaf'." You giggled as you took off his ninja headband.

"I think I have the perfect disguise." Kakashi smirked as he grabbed a camera from his bag which only added to your confusion.

~ To Tsunade at the Leaf ~

"What do you mean Kakashi isn't in the village?!" Tsunade said as she slams her hands down on her desk. The Anbu in front of her were kneeling and hanging their heads in shame. Tsunade sat back down in her chair and rubbed her temples.

"Kakashi couldn't have been eavesdropping on us last night... I thought I gave him a sleeping pill before when I brought his medicine..." Tsunade thought to herself.

Out of no where, the door slammed opened and caused some strong winds to enter. After the winds calmed down, everyone in the room noticed the little tiger cub in the center of the room. The Anbu were about to attack until Tsunade stepped in front of Kimi and grabbed her.

"Leave her alone, you're all dismissed." With that, the Anbu in the room dispersed. Tsunade sighed and put Kimi down on her desk.

"Kimi, I didn't expect to see you so soon. What news does (Name) have to report this urgently?" Tsunade said as she took the scroll from Kimi. Kimi was panting due to how fast she had to run, so speaking would be a little hard.

"See *pant* for *pant* yourself.." Kimi said in between breathes. Tsunade raised her eyebrow at Kimi and opened the scroll.

"Lady Tsunade,

If Kakashi is reported missing from the hospital, please do not worry. He followed me out of the village, I was careless for not noticing him sooner. It's too late and dangerous for Kakashi to go back to the village himself. So he will be accompanying me on my mission.. I won't tell him any details about it, unless he figures it out in his own.

(Name)

P.S.
KAKASHI DID NOT GO ROGUE!"

Tsunade had multiple veins appear on her forehead as she finished reading the scroll. Kimi noticed and poofed away before she got caught in Tsunade's wrath. Tsunade took a seat behind her desk and was taking deep breathes so she wouldn't have a temper tantrum.

"This is what I was trying to avoid! Is Kakashi a complete idiot?! He has no idea what he has gotten himself into."

~ To you and Kakashi ~

"Kakashi are you almost done?" You said as you used your powers to alter your appearance, only changing your hair and eyes.

"Yeah, I'm finished." Kakashi said as he stepped out from behind a tree in his disguise. You turned around to see a completely different person. Kakashi had curly brown hair and purple strips on his eyes that covered his scar, along with contacts to cover his Sharingan. The final touch to it was his mole that he always hid. You're jaw dropped.

"K-Kakashi..?" Kakashi motioned you to be quiet and winked at you.

"My name is Sukea. Nice to meet you, Yuna." Kakashi said while smiling. You decided to use the name Yuna for you disguise, but that didn't matter when Kakashi caught you off guard.

"Wow.." you blushed as 'Sukea' got near you. He took the hair tie from your hand tied up your hair in a high ponytail for you.

"Earth to Yuna, we need to move." Sukea chuckled. You snapped out of your trance and nodded your head.

"Right."

~ Time Skip ~

You and Kakashi arrived at the entrance to this nice village full of businesses everywhere. Ranging from hotels to local food markets.

"The Mizukage arranged for someone to meet us here to give us more detail about ou- I mean my mission." You said as your eyes were searching the area.

"(Name), I'm a part of this too. Eventually, you'll need to tell me about it. That's the only way we'll make it through this alive."

"Hello, you must be the people from the Leaf village that Lady Mizukage told me to assist."

You and Kakashi turned around to find a tall tan man with dark brown hair in front of you. You noticed he had a scar on the corner of his lip. Familiarity washed over you, as if you seen this man before. You felt uneasy.

"My name is Toru."

A/N: sorry with another late chapter! I really need to set up a schedule for my books like the one I used to have in the summer. But my writers block is slowly lifting! Whoo! My creative writing flow was sparking when I wrote this chapter. Wish it was longer though. More chapters will be coming your way! Wait, who is Toru? *giggles*
