Kakashi was not having a good day. First, the waiter tried to kill him, so he had to kill him in turn. He'd stabbed the man with a kitchen knife through the ear. The knife had broken and Kakashi had been left weaponless, because he had been on the deluxe yacht's pool at that moment and thus wearing only his mask (a special version that wasn't part of his shirt and covered his Sharingan too) and a Speedo (because the ladies deserved to see the epitome of sexy that was his body), which gave him nowhere to hide his kunai and shuriken, his favored weapons since he broke his father's blade.
Then, the other waiter tried to kill him, except this one carried no weapons. Kakashi had been forced to engage in hand to hand with a pirate who clearly knew what he was doing. Of course, Kakashi wasn't a legendary ninja for nothing and still managed to easily outmaneuver the man who could have easily been made a genin in a ninja village with that kind of skill. He broke that guy's neck.
Ah, if only the waitress hadn't attacked him too. He could've sworn he saw her eyeing his groin earlier, and he had been looking to sample the pleasures of her flesh. Unfortunately, that plan was ruined when he broke her spine by bending her over his knee in a way she wasn't meant to bend. Bummer, that.
The fact that he'd utterly terrified even the other jounin with the speed and efficiency of his kills only reminded him that he really was frikkin' awesome at what he did, and he nodded to the two jounin who immediately came to him for leadership, despite both being his seniors. One was from Suna, though given that Kakashi didn't recognize him it was likely he was a pretty junior jounin, and the other was also a rookie jounin from Konoha, from the prior graduating class.
"Find your teams. They'll target our genin to hold them hostage. Find and guard the clients you were assigned." Kakashi drawled, bored with the situation he'd been in a million times already. "Priority is your clients, send clones for your teams."
Both of the other jounin nodded and went off, following Kakashi's advice. The Copy Ninja yawned and, with a single handsign, produced five shadow clones. The clones nodded before shooting into separated directions.
Kakashi then turned to his audience, the other patrons who had been enjoying the pool, and noticed that there were sizable holes in the crowd where the six assassins that had been there at the time were terminated. Too much blood for it to belong solely to the attackers, Kakashi mused, which meant that the jounin were even worse than Kakashi had guessed at first glance.
They promoted anyone these days…
"Folks, so long as I'm here, you will be safe. Please do not move from this deck-"
"B-B-But my family!" A fat man who had a slim woman (who was one of the worker girls the boat had hired) in a tiny bikini hanging off his arm yelled, getting up and making a move to head towards the ladder that would take him to the upper deck that held the entrance to the upper class chambers where his family was likely hiding from the commotion.
"—under any circumstances." Kakashi said, glaring at the man with his one eye. "Your families will be safe, since they'd be more valuable as hostages than as corpses. Well, so long as nobody does anything stupid, anyway." The silver haired jounin yawned again.
"W-Why are you so bored?!" One of the fearful waitresses, dressed in a ridiculously tiny maid outfit which showed her bikini below nearly in full, asked. The outfits, designed with the fetish in mind, happened to fit Naruko perfectly, which made Kakashi snicker. She'd been popular entirely due to the moe factor she carried, though Kakashi wouldn't put it far past some of the less respectable nobles around to have less than innocent intentions…
"I've been doing this kind of thing since I was six." Kakashi spoke, shrugging at the awe he saw in the girl's face. "I'm not world famous for nothing, you know?" He boasted, winking at the girl. While most would ask just what the hell he was doing flirting at a time like this, Kakashi would answer that he was braking the tension and keeping them distracted. Making sure that nobody did something entirely idiotic due to the tension.
Of course, unlike the other, distracted people who surrounded the swimming pool, he was fully alert and thus could very easily intercept the knife thrown at the back of his head by an over eager pirate with the most delectable pair of tits he'd ever seen. He'd, of course, immediately thrown it back and punched it straight through her eye into her brain, killing her instantly and making her fall back, toppling over the railing and into the lowest deck, which was populated mostly by the servants of the many nobles aboard.
"Woah! That was amazing, jounin-san!"
"Well, I am amazing." Kakashi said, offering everyone a one-eyed smile. He also expertly hid his anger at himself for throwing the knife back. He should have kept it, because he was still weapon-less and that was bound to cause trouble after. Oh well, no use dwelling on it at this point.
More than one person was looking a little green, seeing the brutal way he'd dispatched most of his attackers and how easy it was for him to kill people. Heck, it'd take him thirty seconds tops to kill everyone on the deck, make it a minute or two if the other two jounin were present. Three if they pulled their heads out of their asses long enough to work together against him.
"Trust me, you're perfectly safe with me and as we speak, my clones are taking care of anyone who might have snuck into your rooms to steal from you or hold any of your family hostage to secure your cooperation." He neglected to say that only three of his clones had been sent on that task, while the other two had gone to fetch his genin students.
He really hadn't expected the mission to go this wrong, and he knew for a fact that his team wasn't prepared for this. While not as strong as ninja trained by a formal academy, these pirates had experience and age over his students, and that accounted for a lot when it came to combat. The skills necessary to perform an infiltration on this level were all too deadly in single combat.
Kakashi took a small comfort in knowing that the fact that his students were very pretty young girls meant that they likely wouldn't be killed, and hoped against hope that his clones would get to them fast enough to prevent the ugly fate that surely awaited them. He dearly wished to go ensure their safety himself, particularly Naruko's (she was on the other side of the damn ship! He should've known something was up when the teams got separated from their jounin, but he'd assumed it had been done on the whims of the nobles who wanted to keep the jounin close!), but Kakashi was nothing if he wasn't a soldier, so he endured, because he had to do his duty.
The jounin grit his teeth as he easily saw beyond the sloppy genjutsu that washed over him while three assassins jumped at him, all from behind. The idiots had forgotten to mask the sound of their approach, and Kakashi scarcely needed his eyes to fight in melee range. Closing his remaining eye, he became a whirlwind of nearly-naked murder.
Leaving the genjutsu caster alive was a chore, but very much necessary. Uncovering his Sharingan, Kakashi hoisted the man up and dangled him over the pool. Both of the man's arms were broken, possibly beyond repair, while Kakashi held onto his legs, so there wasn't much he could do about it. "And now, you're gonna tell me what I want to know or I will have to do very unpleasant things to you."
The man whimpered in fear, but as Kakashi got ready to start asking, a blood curdling scream cut through the grim silence.
