Chapter 4
Kakashi observed his team as they took turns sparring with each other. He had surprised the other Jounins and even the Godaime herself when he had finally given the green light to Team 5. In his test they ended up showing great potential. Also Lupin and the Aburame boy had worked well; the Lupin boy insisted straight away that united they were stronger when facing a jounin as an opponent. The Yamanaka boy had heard their argument, which was pretty logical, and joined in with the plan, making Kakashi realize that the 9 year old knew some pretty big words. They got the purpose of the test from the start unlike the majority of their peers.
It was the third week he had had them. They completed assignments during the day and met in the afternoons to train. The kids were all pretty different; the Yamanaka boy was more into recon as he could pry information from his opponents' minds, which he had proven when against the Aburame boy. Said bug nin was good at information gathering as well. His kikai were not yet trained to drain his enemy's chakra but that was a task best left to his clan. Finally there was the younger boy. He had no obvious skills other than very fast reflexes and strength that with honing could match Tsunade's freakishly strong levels. He did not have a bloodline limit, as far as he knew, but he would tire out his opponents with his superior stamina. He was also better in close combat than the other two and stealthy enough to set up traps. All in all, Team 5 was more suited for infiltration and espionage, unlike Team 7. Kakashi had enough experience to help them along since they all had traits he had used in Anbu, but they were still too young to learn the finer points of information gathering and, should they have the stomach for it, interrogation.
He started them on the tree walking exercise by their second week and now he was moving on to water walking even though none of the boys had water as an element.
"Okay,' he called out, pocketing his orange book. "Enough for today. You are dismissed."
Kenji and Akihiko stopped sparring and then turned to him with bright smiles.
"Yes, sensei!" all three chorused.
Kakashi watched them some more before adding, "Meet me in the mission room at eight."
"Yes, sensei!" they repeated and left.
Harry waved to the small child that was now pressing her nose against the surface. Her happy mother was smiling.
"Isn't she tres belle?" Fleur proudly cradled her second daughter.
"That she is," Harry told the Veela. "Going for a third now?"
Fleur blushed. "Bill wants many enfant."
"Then I wish you the best," Harry told her. "And what is this young beauty called?"
"Esther," Fleur replied. "She 'ad to meet her uncle."
Harry smiled. "She's a beauty Fleur."
The proud mother smiled even more. Then it fell a tiny bit. "We all wish you were 'ere."
"Me as well," he told the witch.
"Harry!" Teddy's voice echoed across the house.
"In the study!" Harry called back.
Soon his nine year old godson entered the warm room and saw the Mirror was open.
"Fleur!" he exclaimed.
"Theo," the Veela cooed. "So ansome!"
"A real heartbreaker this one," Harry added.
Teddy blushed under the comments the adults made. He of course noticed the cute baby in Fleur's arms, dressed in a frilly pale yellow dress with little white doves moving around.
"Is that the baby?" he asked in wonder.
"Teddy, meet Esther Weasley," Harry told him.
"She's so small," Teddy said in wonder. "Was Victoire as small as her?"
"She was. And so were you," Harry told him.
Teddy fought another blush. He remained in the study a while longer but soon they ended the Mirror-call and the surface was blank again.
"Another Weasley," said Teddy.
Harry snorted. "Hermione and Ron are on to Menace no. 3 and George and Percy's wives are both pregnant now," Harry told him.
Teddy whistled, impressed.
"I know," Harry replied.
Then the young boy eyed his godfather hesitantly.
"Don't you want kids?" he asked. His tone was rather blunt but he would not take it back.
Harry processed the question and then shrugged. "I like kids. And I wanted a big family," he admitted. "If we were in our home world I would have an army of 'nephews and nieces'. I have you and I love you more than anything," he told Teddy. "But I will not force myself or any poor woman into a miserable farce of a wedding just to have a bigger family."
"I just… I don't want you to be alone," the younger wizard softly whispered.
Harry smiled. "Teddy, I've told you again and again, there's no need to worry about me."
His godson snorted. "Aunt 'Mione warned me about you."
Harry rolled his eyes while making a mental note to contact her boys and have them play a prank on her later that week; that would be enough revenge. "Enough about me, how was your day?" he asked his godson. The boy let the subject drop and replied with ease.
Next evening…
Teddy returned the next day bursting with excitement. It made Harry wary.
He washed his hands of the ingredients he had been handling and braced himself. "What's got you so excited now?"
His godson gave him a bright grin. "We're going on a mission outside Konoha!" he announced.
Harry's heart skipped a bit. "H-how nice," he finished. "Can you share any details?" he asked. It was still early and the mission was probably not of great importance and he hoped the rank was not high either.
"Well, it's a C rank," Teddy told him. "We have to meet with an informant and deliver him a package and receive his."
"Then I wish you good luck," Harry told him. "I'll find you a bottomless pack."
Teddy smiled. "The one we used before coming to Konoha?" At Harry's nod he gave a nostalgic dream. "I've wondered about it."
"Wash your hands," the older wizard told him. "I made stew."
Next morning…
The members of Team 5 found themselves at Konoha's gates before dawn. They were all giddy and nervous. It would be Kenji and Akihiko's first time outside the Hidden Village of Leaf. Teddy was just glad he could roam the lands again. For once their sensei arrived only a couple of minutes after them. The package they were supposed to deliver was hidden in a rune-seal somewhere in his vest.
"Ready?" he needlessly asked.
Three emphatic nods answered him.
"We're heading for our outpost near Grass," he told the kids. We travel in the shadows and in the trees. I want you to work on speed and stealth. If you tire then say so, so no one's ego can damn the rest of the team." He added a hard stare at that.
"Yes, sensei," they chorused.
"Let's go then," Kakashi told them.
He let the kids run in front of him, choosing to be last in the line to both keep an eye on things and to observe the kids better. By mid-morning the Aburame and the Yamanaka boys were tired while the younger kid looked unfazed.
"We stop for a break," he announced.
"There's a stream nearby," Teddy piped up, remembering that time where he and his godfather had played in the cool water.
Kakashi lifted an eyebrow. "Correct. Did you study the map Teddy?"
"Not really," the wizard replied. "I wasn't always in Konoha. Harry liked travelling but because of the many bandits and missing nin it was getting dangerous and he decided to settle down. We ended up in Konoha on a whim." He shrugged at the looks his team mates gave him. "Suna was too hot."
"Hm," Kakashi did not comment or ask anything about the mysterious origins of the Lupin boy. They reached the stream soon after.
They all had a drink of water and refilled their bottles. Teddy took out his bottomless bottle and did not bother refilling it. One of the first charms Harry had taught him was about his survival and he had learned to do them wordlessly and wandless. If anyone noticed they did not comment on his actions.
They were on the road for the majority of the day, snacking on energy bars whenever they were hungry. They had made one fifth of the way by nightfall when they finally stopped and set camp while Kakashi went to hunt for a rabbit. He returned shortly and found the fire already lit. Teddy bit his lip while the meat was roasted. He was craving rare meet again, not oblivious to the phases of the moon. It would not be full moon for another seven days. He had discussed this with Harry and the older wizard had told him that should his ancestry become a subject that could compromise his mission then they would inform his jounin sensei and the Hokage. If not, then they would continue keeping quiet about it. So Teddy swallowed and ignored his urge.
"How are good are you at your cloning technique?" Kakashi asked them.
"Academy level," Kenji replied.
"Me too," Akihiko answered.
Teddy bit his lip. "My henge's are good," he answered as well.
"Tomorrow you are going to learn how to use them for information gathering," he told his students. "So rest well."
They all nodded.
Teddy found that travelling was taking up the majority of the trip. They did nothing but run really. What little werewolf blood he had in him enjoyed the freedom and the wilderness of the forests.
Whatever training Hatake was giving him was all about speed and agility. Teddy was a smart boy and he quickly realized that they were being trained not as a heavy power team but as a recon one. He knew that his team mates wanted to join the Anbu corps and he did as well. With his metamorphmagus ability he would be as fluid as a chameleon. He knew that Harry was planning to teach him human transfiguration but not before he hit fourteen so his core could grow a bit more. Then he would be an Animagus as well.
So Teddy decided to enjoy this freedom and his first trip away from Konoha and away from his family as much as he could.
But as usual, Shinobi missions never went as planned.
