Prologue:
1 A.M. Location: Somewhere in the Konoha Forest
There was a crack of thunder, and the Hokage dropped to the ground, unable to defend himself anymore. Unable to bear the pressure of any further attack, his arms simply dangled along his sides, and his legs no longer had any strength; He was loosing blood.
The wind muffled his desperate breaths, the only faint light was the storm above, crackling like kindling to a fire.
Six masked figures emerged from the darkness of the forest, all wearing similar attire of an ANBU mask with a combat jacket of some sort, size varying. Faint whispers could be heard among them, though the wind muffled them. The Hokage, Soruto Uzumaki scanned for an escape, but there was none. His anxiety was hinted at more and more with each breath he took, knowing they very well would be his last.
The figure facing him directly stepped forward, revealing a completely bald man, with tattoos stretching around his head hiding beneath an ANBU mask covered in red waves. "You've grown weak Soruto" A deep, raspy, yet sinister voice echoed out of the mask.
The Hokage spit out blood onto the man. "So it seems." not breaking eye contact.
"What happens now?" Soruto asked, taking another moment to take in his surroundings. "What do you want with me, Hisoka?"
Before him, the figure quenched his fist after hearing that name. Taking a few steps forward, he thrashed the Hokage's head back into the ground with a kick. Soruto grunted, and his adversary walked overtop of him, grabbing a handful of his hair and pulling him so that the two were face to face.
"I don't care about you, or your damn family. Inu is all that remains now; Your dog Hisoka died long ago, all I'm after is what you're keeping in that vase you tucked away from the world."
Suddenly the Hokage's eyes widened, and a gasp escaped his mouth. "How do you know abou-"
"You're a coward and a traitor!" Inu yelled, ripping some kind of object off Soruto with a special seal sign. He then violently threw him to the ground, breathing heavily as he walked away.
"Red!" He heaved out to a hulking 7 foot tall individual. "Kill him. Akuma will take care of the rest."
8 A.M Location: Konoha Ninja Academy.
"Quiet down everyone, I have an urgent announcement." Kaito, the head Jonin of Konoha's shinobi ranks walked to the front and center of a very crowded classroom, filled only with Jonin from each and every village. Though his face may have not shown it, those who knew Kaito best could pick up the signs and see he was under a great amount of stress. The tone of the room quickly changed, and all were quiet and attentive to Kaito.
Just yesterday the most recent genin class graduated, all of these Jonin were here simply because they were going to pick up their assigned teams. This graduating class was very important, as they would be the first genin to begin a Shinobi career under this new national system. Teams were supposed to be given an hour ago, and with the tone of the building even the most oblivious of the Jonin knew something was up.
"I'm going to state this blunty: Hokage Soruto of Konoha has been assassinated."
A collection of gasps, and a thicker silence engulfed the room. Many of the leaf Shinobi were visibly stunned by the news.
"Intelligence has reported to me these details that they've discovered after hastily working all throughout the night."
"Last night around 1 AM Hokage Soruto Uzumaki was lured out of the village. The cause is unknown, but the detection field around Konoha sensed him leaving around that time without his ANBU body guards, and several eye witnesses can confirm it as well. Exactly what may have occurred in the next three hours we do not know, but intelligence believes this is when he was killed by multiple Shinobi, as evidence from his wounds."
His eyes glared into the eyes of each Shinobi, as if he were searching for something in each of them. "The story doesn't end there however. At exactly 4 AM our database show that Hokage Soruto entered a heavily secured section of our intelligence building, which contained highly classified information. However, the detection field has no record of the Hokage's chakra signature coming back into the village. In otherwords, an imposter entered the village. A perfect imposter that could pass through all the security measures of our facility. Three documents containing classified information were stolen, the exact contents I cannot tell you about though I am allowed to say it involved Jinchuriki. Then, two hours later at 6 AM the Hokage's corpse is discovered in his office. Intelligence confirms it is truly him and not a fake.
He took a breath and steadied himself for a moment, then continued. "Only one Chakra signature entered the village between 1 and 4 AM, and that is the imposter's signature. He or She has not left the village, and is still hidden somewhere, and right now Konoha is on a code 3 Alert. For all you foreigners, this means that a special form martial law has been implemented, in which ANBU are currently out hunting for the culprit. The Public has not been informed of the situation, as doing so could cause a crisis and would interfere in the man-hunt."
"With the current political situation none of our nations can harm come to our genin on Konoha soil. We must get them out of Konoha and away from any immediate danger. You are all to grab your assigned missions, meet your teams, and head out of the village to do them. Do not waste any time. Do not tell your students of what was happened until you are well and out of the village. And finally, do not return to Konoha until the situation has been officially cleared."
"As of current circumstances, according to the chain of command I am temporary Hokage, therefore this is an official order."
"Your team information is being handed out now. You are all scheduled to meet with your teams at 9 and have them out of the village by 10. Good luck, and stay safe."

Mission 37A: The Objector
Rank: B (Has potential to rise or fall)
A new Hokage for the leaf must be found! Luckily, in these times of need there is a potential candidate. Atsushi Masuno is his name, and he no longer resides in the leaf. Being a conscientious objector, Atsushi has taken up a more nomadic lifestyle, and his last location is not known. However, he was last sighted in the land of Lightning, precisely why you have been assigned this mission. You know the lay of the land.
Your mission is to head into the Land of Lightning via train, and search for Atsushi. He could be anywhere, and even has the potential to not be in the land of Lightning. Kumogakure intelligence is currently collecting the details and will relay the information to you upon your time of arrival. Be on your guard, local bandit activity has skyrocketed the past few weeks in the area. Due to the importance a Chunin has been sent to assist your team, you are to show her the ropes of running a team.
Due to the importance of your mission, do not tell anyone outside of your team your mission. Atsushi may be an ally, but he has many enemies. If word leaks out it could jeopardize the mission.
Good luck, and happy hunting.
Head Konoha Jonin and Temporary Hokage Kaito Sonkei
Team 13's Mission:
@Chayliel, @Gabriel Leko, @Pyosimros,
Mission 45J: Find the informant!
Rank: B (Has potential to rise or fall)
As you may already know, last night the Hokage was assassinated. We do not know how, or why for that matter, however recent contact with a contact in the Hidden Mist reveals he might have some information on the matter. We will relay information about the informants details later, however due to your skill set Matsuda you are the most qualified for this mission.
Your mission is to take your team across the land of Fire and into the Hidden Mist, where you will locate the informant. Depending on what Intelligence relays to you from the Mist, you may or may not have to gain this information directly from the Mizukage. Suspicious activity has been reported from the Mist within the last week, be always on your guard.
You are to board a train to the nearest shipyard and begin your journey as soon as possible.
Safe Sailing,
Head Konoha Jonin and temporary Hokage Kaito Sonkei
