Chapter 5 A mission

"Shizune, please bring in the visitors."

"Yes Tsunade sama."

Ash,Dawn,and Li walked into the Hokage's office with Piplup,Luxray, and Pikachu trailing behind.

"Why don't you introduce yourselves. I am the Hokage Tsunade." Tsunade said.

"Hi! I'm Ash from Pallet Town! This are my friends Dawn and Li!"

"Ash for the last time nobody cares you're from Pallet town! They don't even know where that is!" Li said disgustedly.

"I've heard that one of you recently took out some sound ninjas."

"Damnit Ash! I told you to keep your voice down!"

"Anyway I am quite impressed. I was wondering if you would consider escorting a team of our ninja on a mission. You see one of them is a target for a powerful crime syndicate called the Akatsuki. Problem is that we don't have many leaf ninja to spare."

"I'm sure we'd be happy to help out!" Dawn said enthusiastically.

"Dawn stop answering for me!"

"Well do you have a problem?"

"Pip?"

"Well not really but its the principle of the matter!"

"Then its settled then! You leave tomorrow!"

"Yes Tsunade sama!" All three answered without a thought.

"What just happened?" Ash asked himself.
