Kakashi's POV:
                          
"These are more of Sasuke's mission reports."
                          
Tsunade slides the folder across her desk to me.
                          
I reach out and take the folder, flipping through the big stack of papers.
                          
"You, Naruto, and Sakura need to be completely familiar with everything that's detailed in his reports. It's imperative for the success of this mission. There's a lot of new information here."
                          
I nod my head reading one that describes his death ritual in depth.
                          
"Kakashi, a single drop of blood. And you're dead." She looks at me harshly. "Not to mention his unique skills with his scythe."
                          
"I have previous knowledge of his ritual due to the death of Kurenai Yuhi. But this will really allow me to understand everything."
                          
I close the folder and look up at her.
                          
"How is Sasuke doing?" 
                          
She sighs. 
                          
"He's been providing us with vital information. However, I do worry about him on his own gathering intel on these two."
                          
"Me too."
                          
She nods her head silently.
                          
"Please make sure that you and your teammates know this new information by the end of this week. At this point, we're simply waiting on Sasuke to give the word."
                          
A knot forms in my stomach. 
                          
This mission is coming. And fast.
                          
"When he does, you'll be leaving almost immediately the day or two after."
                          
"Yes ma'am." 
                          
She clears her throat and looks down at her desk.
                          
"How is Akari doing?"
                          
"She still doesn't know any details about the mission, if that's what you're asking."
                          
She gives me an apologetic smile.
                          
"Good. I'm sorry. I know it must be difficult to keep something like this from her Kakashi. Just remember it's in her best interest."
                          
It definitely hasn't been easy. She's right though. If Ari knew about any of this, who knows what she would do.
                          
Probably try to keep me from going.
                          
Or run off on her own. 
                          
That. That would kill me. The thought makes me sick to my stomach even imagining it.
                          
That's why we led her to believe that this mission would be happening months from now and not so soon.
                          
"Well, we'll be in touch shortly. I may have a small mission for you next week but we'll see how it goes."
                          
I nod my head and stand up from my chair.
                          
"Thank you Lady Tsunade."
                          
"Thank you Kakashi."

I head to the clearing feeling overwhelmed.
                          
I don't know how the fuck I'm going to keep this from her.
                          
She's the only one I want to talk to about this and the only one that can't know a single thing about it.
                          
She's my best friend. She's going to know somethings up.
