Permission To Seek

The Perverted Hokage Mission

Sasuke stood in front of the Hokage desk fixing he gazed at the window past her thinking of that bug nerd. He had almost forgotten about that closet incident, this was understandable since recovery from Itachi’s technique had taken weeks. Once he left the hospital, he went straight to his home and cried until his heart felt nothing but hatred for the person responsible for killing everyone he loved. In vowing to kill Itachi, he also remembered all the reasons he hates that bastard. ...Nice people are so easy to fool... ‘That bastard tried to use me to kill someone.’ The more he allowed the evil deeds of his brother to sink inside him the darker his heart became to match Itachi’.

Later, when ANBU attempted to question him about what occurred in the school, but Kakashi intervened. ‘Tell us what evidence you have? What is he accused of doing in that school?’ It had saved his butt, he never had to confess or lie about what happen. To Sasuke it did not matter as long as he was free to get revenge on Itachi. The next big surprise was the bug nerd showing up during the last couple of months of school. At the time Sasuke did not recognize him, he only wanted to get stronger.

Naruto entered the office and walked over to join Sasuke who stood next to Kakashi.

“Nice of you to join us Naruto.” The Fifth said in a sweet simper.

Naruto flinched, he hated when she acted nice it always meant trouble. “Hokage-sama, sumimasen (sorry) I got delayed uhmm...” he stuttered knowing he was in big trouble even before he could complete his apology.

“Hokage-sama.” Sasuke interrupted; “It is my entire fault, I overreacted and almost got Naruto and me in a fight with the Elder and Aburame Shino.” He said sincerely “Please forgive me.”

The Fifth looked at the Uchiha closely, according to notes the third had left, he felt the Aburame Clan was hiding something regarding the boy’s condition. Especially since, they removed the boy from school and later he returned with grades second only to Sasuke. She felt the Uchiha was a terrible manipulator and was wary of his apology.

“Oh Sasuke-kun you say the sweetest things.” She glared at the three men in front of her they all quailed. “Make me wait this long again and I will tie you upside down, naked and beat you with a paddle.” Her tone was dark and meaningful.

Naruto broke out in a sweat, trembling head to foot.

Sasuke eyed her back just as darkly.

Kakashi on the other hand looked intrigued and the portion of his cheek that was visible blushed. “Hokage-sama you say the sweetest things.” He laughed nervously, wondering would she really go that far.

Sasuke glanced over at him, ‘pervert!’ His gaze quickly shifted to his mumbling teammate, who croaked out that he is sorry and he would not let it happen again, so profusely Sasuke felt disgusted. ‘I am really going to hit this idiot before the sunsets.’

“I am glad I have your attention.” The Fifth said. “Now here is your mission, retrieve this artifact from a friend of mine. It is an easy mission but it will take you at least a week to get there, so watch for bandits.” She handed a document to Kakashi.

Kakashi looked at the shaking Naruto and the defiant Sasuke; ‘where is my happy place.’ The scary women did not frighten him she just tended to get on his nerves; she is a bigger pervert.

“Go wait outside Naruto; you are giving me a headache;” said the Fifth. Naruto jumped making a quick escape.
“Tell me Sasuke, were you really going to fight the Elder; I believe he is Shino’s uncle.” She smiled sweetly.

He looked at her with impatience that he tried to turn into curiosity she was not fooled. “Yes Hokage-sama;” wondering where she was leading.

“Oh, you have done all you want to do in this world?” She continued to smile, but did not wait for him to respond. “He would have killed you so quickly your brain would not have noticed it was not attached to your body that is until he showed you the headless corpse. I know the man he certainly would do just that, if not worse.” She laughed lightly, as she noticed it unnerved him. “A ninja should no his limitations, hey Sasuke-kun.” She laughing lightly again eyeing him.

He stared at her with loathing and disbelief, in silence.

“I will talk with him Hokage-sama; I should add that the Elder was trying to antagonize Sasuke and Shino to fight.” He looked at her pointedly, meaning not over his dead body did he want Sasuke to face that boy.

“That’s fine by me;” said Sasuke darkly.

“Oh is it.” She crossed her hands under her chin and surveyed the boy, clueless. She fell silent feeling the message would not reach past those defiant eyes.

“In other words;” Kakashi continued reluctantly, “you can not defeat that boy at your current level. Please stay away from him.” He felt guilt knowing exactly what Sasuke would do about that, now that he made it plain.

“Oh thanks for letting me know.” He said flatly.

“Well, that’s all just wait with Naruto I have a few words for Kakashi.” she said eying him intently.

Sasuke turned and left the room.

Kakashi looked at her with worried eyes. “I don’t think telling him that will do any good now he is sure to try and fight him.”

The Fifth smiled at him lightly; “he’s going to do it anyway, only now he will work to be strong enough when the time comes.”

Kakashi, scratched the back of his head not feeling it was still a good idea; but he could understand her reasoning.

“Now Kakashi, my assistant Iruka; he has been very distracted lately especially when you come around do you know anything about this?”

Kakashi felt a warm sensation inside; so he is nervous when I come around, I wonder what could have caused this sudden change. “No.”

“Humm, well maybe he just needed sometime off?” she glanced at him “I sent him on an extended mission he will be gone for sometime; so you won’t have a chance to see him for a while.” She gazed wistfully out the window; “he deserves the time off he just turned eighteen, after all.” She eyed the Jonin knowingly.

‘Pervert,’ Kakashi thought. ‘She is just fishing for the details; wish I had some to share it would be fun.’ “Oh, his birthday I should get him something where is he?” He asked eagerly.

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” An evil grin spread across her pretty face. “If you do not know what has come over him, then I’m not telling you where he is since it does not involve you.” She chuckled lightly.

Kakashi looked at her in disbelief, ‘she may be a bigger pervert than me, but she is a stingy one at that.’

********
Naruto stood outside thinking about the fight they almost got in and that person Aburame Shino he gazed at the sky.

“What are you doing idiot?” Sasuke said.

Naruto looked at him, then blushed slightly and looked away. “What did they want you for?” he said.

Sasuke glared at the back of his head wondering if he should get the hit in now. “Nothing, just that I should not fight that kid.” He looked away from Naruto wondering what the Shino talked to him about; he smiled derisively.

“Really?” Naruto turned to look at Sasuke’s profile; he has a very handsome face. Naruto turned away as Sasuke turned; catching the blush on his face, he smirked.

“Yeah, she said he’s not very strong it’s just his uncle’s way of trying to get the kid some experience with the strong ninja in the village. Just fishing for sparing partners because his personality is so horrible no one will train with him, willingly.” He lied trying to get Naruto to open up.

Naruto felt his stomach flip, considering the new information that Shino just wanted people to train with him, after all everyone Naruto spoke to about Shino had said stuff just like that, he felt sad but did not really understand why. He was impressed when Shino offered to assist him with his training, and told him he was strong and even challenged him. Now it appeared as if it were all a fake, because no one else liked him; he felt sorry for the person. Even if it were just to learn different ninja fighting style, he would try to make Shino his friend.

“Well Sasuke;” he looked boldly at his teammates face; “a ninja got to see beyond what others say.” Naruto walked away like the conversation was over.

Sasuke glowered at him. ‘That little bastard saw through all that. No way! I just need the right angle. Besides I think he likes me;’ he smirked.

“Well let’s go.” Kakashi said

Halfway to the main gate Kakashi could only think about Iruka wondering where oh where could he be. He looked over at Naruto who had a surly look on his face, considering how close the bay is to Iruka, maybe….

“Oh so sorry guys I need to drop something off to Iruka-sensei. I nearly forgot lets go past there before we leave.” Kakashi said doing his own brand of fishing.

“Iruka-sensei is not here Kakashi-sensei.” Naruto provided,

Kakashi smiled behind the mask, while Sasuke eyed him suspiciously. “Oh really I did not realize he left the Village.” He said in false wonder.

“Yeah he told me a few days ago he was going to a market town that had several hot springs some you could even rent all to yourself. Although I don’t know why anyone would want one all to themselves.”
His expression went blank, as he gazed up innocently at the blue sky.

Sasuke glared at him, ‘how stupid can you be, just when I think you reached your limit you go beyond it.’

“Really, do you know the name of it?” Kakashi asked quickly, too quickly. Sasuke cast him a derisive look that clearly said ‘pervert.’ He grinned guiltily at the jet black eyes.

“I do not remember, but I know how to get there.” He said thoughtfully.

“How do you know?” Sasuke and Kakashi asked together in wonder.

Naruto looked at the pair they were starring at him as if he held some great truth. “Sensei is it that important that you see Iruka? Because the place is not on our route I would guess two days off course.” He looked at his sensei. Kakashi has a strange look in his one eye hungry. “Kakashi-sensei, are you hungry?”

“Yes.” But we will eat when we get the Hot Springs.” He said without thinking, his mind on Iruka.

“Chee.” Sasuke sucked his teeth wanting to call him more names; “Sensei that is two days away, we will need to eat before that;” casting him a sarcastic glare.

“Yes I know it will be good training to try to cut that time in half.” He smiled at the boys, Sasuke glowered; Naruto beamed.

“Yeah, let’s go then.” Naruto ran for the exit with Kakashi at his heels

Sasuke watched them jump into the dense trees outside the main gate and thought about the bug nerd. ‘When I get back, we are going to settle this but for now I’ll let this pervert lead us on this mock training mission.’
