(Kakashi) All right, with that being said, our mission is now over!

You're all dismissed.

Already?! It's only ten in the morning! Our missions have been so boring!

When are we gonna get an S-rank mission? Come on!

Hmph! "S-rank?" Yeah, right. A loser like you?

What are you talking about? We're still only genin, remember?

I want something with more pizazz, more oomph! So...?

There just aren't any missions. Anyway, dismissed!

[groan]

You heard him! So, Sasuke, how about today, the two of us...

I'm going home.

Wait. Just hold on a minute.

I know of one S-rank mission the three of us could actually do right now.

Hm?

A mission that's failed again and again, one that only we can pull off...

(Naruto) To see what Kakashi Sensei's face really looks like!

Let's find out our target's best-kept secret!

Do you even know what you're saying?

Listen, just forget about that. It's impossible!

I mean, right, Sasuke?

This would be the perfect mission for a day like today!

(giggling) I couldn't agree more.

Sasuke! How could you? You betrayed me! Cha!

[chuckling]

But what do we do? Every single time we try this it never goes well.

[chuckling] Not to worry! I already have a plan!

What is it?

Photographs!

If we go through every single photo Kakashi Sensei is in,

there's bound to be at least one without a mask.

Actually, I never told you this, but I already checked them out once before.

And he has a mask on in every one!

The photo submitted to the Hokage for the Ninja Registration Form.

That should be a picture of him where he isn't wearing a mask.

But of course, it's an extremely classified, top-secret document.

Getting your hands on it won't be an easy task.

He overheard us!

Oh, who cares if he overheard us or not!

Who are you?

I'm Sukea. I'm a photographer.

I travel from east to west looking for stories.

Not north or south?

Naruto! Stop getting hung up on insignificant details!

Well, anyway, I was on the hunt for a scoop,

and I happened to overhear your fascinating conversation.

He did hear us! Let's get rid of him! Ready?

Idiot!

Owie...

This guy's right.

That is the regulation. The Ninja Registration Form photo must show your face.

It's so obvious, but none of us even thought about looking there before now.

So listen, do you think you guys would let me tag along with you on this little adventure?

And why would you want to do that?

It's simple! If I'm able to capture this Kakashi guy without a mask on,

it'll be the biggest scoop since the Leaf was established!

Even if it were to get hushed up, I'd be sure to make a lot of money on this.

Oh! Hey! Hey! Hold on! When you get the money, you gotta treat us to ramen! Promise?

I'll even throw in some gyoza. Does that sound good?

Hm! Now this is getting interesting.

[sighs] I don't know you guys.

Aw yeah! I'm getting excited about this! [giggles]

This is where they store secret documents.

This'll be an infiltration mission. Sukea, you think you'll be able to keep up?

I don't think it'll be a problem.

Before I became a photographer, I was a rank-and-file ninja.

All right! Let's get this mission started!

[yawn]

You're still not done, Sasuke?!

Shut up! Just hold on!

Can we switch places? Just for a moment?

Hm?

Wow, it opened! That's awesome!

So, Sukea, what division did you belong to before?

Oh, I was in the Intel Unit that reported to Lord Hokage.

Wait, he means the...

ANBU Black Ops.

[gasps]

Well some things happened, and now I'm retired.

Given your past, is it wise for you to be doing this?

(Sasuke) You'll be targeted by the ANBU.

Don't worry about it, I'll be just fine. C'mon, let's go!

(Sakura) We have to search all these?

(Sukea) Let's hurry.

Found it! This is it!

All right, let's open it up!

No way! The moment is finally here!

(ANBU) Don't move!

[gasps]

We're taking you in. Make a move and we'll assume you're resisting.

And we may have to take you down.

Uh oh! I feel like I'm gonna sneeze!

Idiot! Hold it in!

Damn it! And we were so close, too!

Really? An infiltration mission?

I know. I'm really sorry about that. I tried to stop them, but they insisted on doing it.

What? You jerk!

So right from the start, you planned on blaming us if this failed?!

They just wanted to see what your face really looked like!

You're a former ANBU Black Ops, right?

Honestly, it's ridiculous! Who cares what I look like underneath this mask, anyway?!

[uncomfortable chuckle]

You've really got some nerve blaming us!

I thought it was pretty strange that you wanted to join us.

You're skilled and a former ANBU, so you could've easily done this alone.

I can't stand handsome guys who think they can get away with awful things.

Sorry, sorry!

How about I make it up to you by helping you photograph Kakashi's face?

Take advantage of my photography skills!

What? You still wanna do this?

Why not? Are you gonna give up already?

Uh, all right. So what's your plan?

Let's go for Kakashi himself.

We'll lure him out to a meal, then photograph him while he eats.

We already tried doing that a whole bunch of times, but nothing we did ever worked.

Every single time, right at the very moment when we'd have a chance to see his face,

we'd get interrupted.

Well, with this multi-exposure camera I built, I bet we can get at least one photo.

Sensei! I need to talk to you about something very important, ya know?!

What is it?

Uhh.

[chuckling] Actually, why don't we eat some dumplings while we talk?

Okay, I'm ready to go.

Well all right, don't mind if I do!

Oh, hey, Naruto! You guys out taking a little break, too?

[worried gasp]

Don't bother us right now! We're doing something really important!

Like what?

[panting]

I was just about to find that out.

What?! He already ate them?

[giggling] But this time, we got him on camera! [giggling]

How can this be? It's impossible!

Are you kidding? Not a single one?

It feels like some divine power's at work here.

Yeah. that's a shame. Oh well, I guess this means,

we'll have to say that the mission is over and dismissed, huh?

All right! I guess it's time for me to be...

(Kiba) Hey, Naruto!

You wanna tell me what's really going on out here?

Oh, hey! What's up you guys?

[heavy breathing]

Kakashi Sensei! I'm so glad you're here!

Because, you see, um, it's just that over there is a...

It's going to be all right. But first, just calm down and tell me what's wrong.

I think that a woman might have drowned, right over there, on the riverbank!

[gasps] What?!

This is really not good. Her pulse is very weak.

(Naruto) Yes! Sakura did an awesome job! Her medicine's even fooled Kakashi Sensei!

All right, this calls for...

(Naruto) [giggling] He definitely has to take his mask off now!

[gasps]

This woman's in danger! We can't waste any time! We have to get her to the hospital right away!

Plan A has failed.

(Shikamaru) Understood. Everyone switch to Plan B.

Sukea, please get into position.

Roger that.

[sniffing] Okay, he's coming our way now!

Just as Shikamaru predicted, he's gonna pass by on his way to the hospital.

Everyone, get in position!

Huh?

Expansion Jutsu!

Human Boulder! Roll! Roll! Roll! Roll!

What the?

Roll! Roll! Roll! ROLL!

Uh oh.

[crash]

[gasps]

What are you doing? I have to get this woman to...huh?

Huh?

Hmm.

Go! Hidden Jutsu! Beetle Sphere!

Now!

(Ino) 3...2...1...Go!

Scatter!

Mind Transfer Jutsu!

[groans]

Ribbit, ribbit ribbit ribbit!

Look, you guys. I get that you want to see what I look like, but we have a situation here!

She needs to get to the hospital as soon as...[grunts]

[chuckles] Shadow Possession Jutsu! Now complete!

[groaning]

All right, Sukea! Do it now!

[grunts] It finally worked, Naruto.

Guess you get to have those ramen and gyoza now!

Haha! Hey guys, see that? The plan actually worked!

Hah! Yeah, finally.

You should all be grateful to us. The reason is because...

Okay, Kakashi Sensei! I hope you're ready!

Do it, Shikamaru!

It's time for the unveiling.

Wait you guys, hold on! Why don't we just talk things over, okay?

[chuckles]

Hey! Hold on a second! Stop! Just stop!

[inhales of anticipation]

Let's all calm down.

I mean, having this remain as a mystery makes it much more alluring, don't you think?

[scared laugh]

Ramen and gyoza at Ichiraku sound more alluring to me!

You mean to tell me all of you were bribed to do this?

That's checkmate!

All right, now stop! I mean, please you guys, wait!

[gasps]

You're so annoying, Lee!

Please, spar with me, Neji!

What?! Hey, stop! Don't interfere!

Seriously, come on, already! Enough is enough!

[Lee screaming]

Hey! Wait for me!

[grunts]

Sorry!

[yelling]

[grunts]

He was a Shadow Clone?

What the hell is going on here?

Was Kakashi Sensei on to us right from the very start?

Well, it's too bad. But I really am grateful to all of you.

No way! We all had such an awesome time! And it's actually because of you, Sukea!

So thank you!

I'd better get going now.

Call me anytime if something comes up!

I really hope you get that scoop that you wanted!

It seems like they had a lot of fun.

It was quite a coincidence that Kiba happened to show up at the dumpling shop.

Huh, who would have thought that all of them would team up?

I think that something like this is good for them, at least every once in a while.

Yeah, but I gotta say, this really wore me out!

It's tiring to use so many Clones and Transformations.

It was a really close call with my mask because everyone had such good teamwork.

Of course, even if they did get the mask off, there wouldn't have been any real harm done.

Because I'm wearing a back-up mask underneath. [chuckles]

[sighs] I still think food is the best way.

Yeah, it probably is our best chance.

But the problem is, how do we get Kakashi Sensei to eat with us?

Bad timing! Here they come!

[gasps]

[sighs]

(Guy) Hey!

Uh.

Excuse me, but did you notice any trouble going on around here?

Huh? Uh, no, I didn't see anything at all.

Kakashi...

[grunts]

I heard that he and his team were causing a commotion around town.

Anyway, my apologies for stopping you.

It's okay.

(Guy) Hey!

[grunts]

[gasps]

Uh, can I help you with something?

Don't I know you from somewhere?

Uh, no, uh, I don't think we've ever met before.

Really? Okay then, well excuse me.

See you later!

I could've sworn I met that guy somewhere before. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[vocal exercises]

Changing your voice like that really strains the throat.

[clears throat]

It actually turned out to be a good mission after all.

Plus, I have to say, their teamwork has gotten much better than it was,

during the bell-snatching mission.

Well, I'll only be able to do this a couple more times.

(Naruto) Can't use a pervy joke move to distract her anymore.

So I gotta go back to the basics and corner her!

If she tries to escape through that weird window again, I'll enter it with her.

That's where I'll search for Sasuke!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Connecting Thoughts."

I can still sense Sasuke's chakra clearly!
