Tsunade was healing herself and Jiraiya. Erza has no signs of injuries or damage even her clothes were seemed untouched which made everyone stand in awe of her. When she stepped towards Team 7 she tripped and before she touches the ground a hand held her gently catching her up. When she raised her head to check he saw Kakashi looking at her with both worry and anger. Worried that she might been wounded badly and angry because she was hurt and he was not there to prevent it. "Thanks" she whispered "Were you hurt? Do you have injuries? Let me see" he asked in a demanding tone without any tone of request it sounded like it's a command that needs to be obeyed with urgency. "What's got into you? I'm fine" she said "No you're not, do you want me to search your whole body or you'll cooperate" he said with a stern look, her eyes widen surprised to the copy nin's actions "Okay- okay, I think I twisted my ankles when both of them attacked me at the same time I barely dodged them twisting my ankles. It's not a big deal though. I can heal myself" She explained.
kakashi signaled her to sit on the rock formation and he squatted in front of her and took off her stockings. Her stockings are at her thighs and when Kakashi pulled it down he slightly touched her skin that made her blush, his hands were too close to her forbidden parts "wait! What are you doing?" she was flustered. The academy staff watching them suddenly had their nose bleed they scan her thighs going down her legs, the pale smooth skin and the well-shaped parts "kakashi si a lucky guy" one of them commented "Why? Are they together?" Mighty guy asked and no one answered as they are busy with their thoughts of her. Kakashi looked at her quizzically "Let me take a look" he said "I'm fine. I can handle myself" she insisted. He saw the swollen ankle and touched it gently "aww" she muttered and he stared at her with an angry glare "then heal this now" he commanded "alright" she felt that she needed to obey him "she placed her hand on the swelling part and a green magic circle appeared and the redness slowly disappeared. kakashi held onto her foot assisting her after it completely healed he put the stocking back in place. Erza stopped his hands "I can do it" she said. The ninja ignored her and took her hand placed it on her lap and continue putting the socks back on slid her slippers back on her foot. Then he reached out his hand to help her stand up and she took the offer.
"You better get some rest, I'll walk you home" Kakashi instructed "I'm not your student. I'll beat you up if you don't stop" she gave her a death stare "Try to get home early, okay?" she said as she leaps away. They were summoned to the hokage's office. There were four people in there beside the hokage. Sai Yamanaka - a former anbu from root. He has short, straight black hair, and dark eyes which contrast with his translucent-looking pale skin. He is carrying a small backpack with his brush, scrolls, and ninja ink in it. He wears a short black-and-grey jacket with red straps, his outfit consisted of a high-collared midriff shirt, black pants, shinobi sandals and gloves with his index and thumb fingers exposed. Beside him another man stood- Yamato tenzo- an anbu turned jonin and is a reserve teacher. He has short brown hair and black, almond-shaped eyes. He is wearing the same flak jacket with all jonins. Kakashi is beside them. "We are waiting for just one more before we start" the hokage said. The door flung open and there was a beautiful young woman with red hair and black eyes in a jonin uniform and panting head bent down hands on her knees. She catches up her breath and stood straight slightly bowing her head to the village leader "I'm sorry for being late, I just got the message from the hawk and I came as fast as I can as soon as I read the letter" she explained.
kakashi just gave her the eye smile and nodded and invited her to stand beside her. Yamato was star trucked not only with her beauty but with what he witnessed in her fight battles and he blushes as he stares at her while Sai remained emotionless. "I am reviving team RO not as anbu but jonins. You will be an elite group that will serve directly under me. The team will consist of Hatake, kakashi captain- Tenzo, Yamato- Yamanaka, Sai and Uchiha Erza. I'll have Anko Mitarashi cover team 7 in your absence " He explained. "Your first mission is to catch the terrorist group Akatsuki, news said that they are around the village outskirts so I need you to investigate and get them, protect the village and the people. Your quest shall commence tomorrow at sunrise" he added "sandaime with all due respect, I don't think Erza should be with us on this mission. I am tasked to protect her from them and I will not walk into the enemy's camp with her." Kakashi protested "I know you will say that. That is why I added Sai and Yamato to this team to help you protect her. Her skills are highly valuable in any S- Ranked missions" he explained. The copy nin glanced over the girl and she smiled at him in return "Don't worry about me, I won't let anything happen to myself" she assured him. "Kakashi will brief you about your mission in detail tomorrow, you are all excused" the leader instructed.
Sai bowed and went towards the door, "see you tomorrow Erza chan" Yamato greeted and Kakashi gave him a warning look to stay away from her, he just smiled and went off. Kakashi grabbed Erza's hands as usual like he's holding the hands of her girl fingers hugging tightly. He liked how her hands fit his perfectly like it was meant to be together. His other hands in his pocket. He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes as they walk out the office. "I'll meet the kids to tell them that I won't be with them during our mission and introduce Anko to them, wanna join me?" he invited "I'll pass and will take my leave, I'll see you at home- just promise me you'll get home early okay" she told the copy nin. For the first time he heard her say that made his heart warm the ice surrounding his heart suddenly melted and he felt like he is no longer alone. "Sure, see you later" he said hiding his blush as he leaps towards the kids and to meet Anko.
Kakashi arrived at the training grounds where naruto, Sasuke and Sakura was doing their usual routine. "Hey guys, I won't be with you while I'm out on a mission, Anko sensei will be taking over. She is a tokubetsu jōnin who teaches at the academy. " he introduced "Hi guys, My name is Anko Mitarashi- I will be with you I don't know'til when I'm sure we'll have some fun" she said. She is a fairly tall woman who was of slender frame. She has light brown, pupil-less eyes. Her hair - black with a viiolet tint which is styled in a short, spiky, fanned-ponytail.She wears a fitted mesh body suit that covers her from her neck down to her thighs. Over this, she wears a tan overcoat with a purple in-seam and a pocket on each side, a dark orange mini-skirt, a dark blue belt, and pale grey shin guards. she also wears a small pendant that looks like a snake fang and a wristwatch. "Where's Erza sama? Wouldn't she covering for you kakashi sensei?" Sakura asked in disappointment "Oh, She's going on a mission with me" kakashi explained "Just the two of you?" Naruto teased. "The details of the mission is classified. So scram" He mockingly answered.
