Never underestimate the power of good advice. A few wise words into a pair of young ears leads a young would-be ninja to a decision; the Leaf will recognise him, but not as the fox... now separate from Win Some, Lose Some!

Hatake Kakashi was a shinobi, and as a shinobi, the only people who could give him orders were his military superiors. The idea that a Council made up of civilians and peers was under the impression they could give him orders...displeased him. Or: He was ordered to pass Team 7. He was fine with that, until they actually passed.

There once was a monster, and that monster was slain by a youth, and that youth became king – or so the story goes. But when a young baron finds his beliefs challenged, what monsters will he awaken? "Everything we know about you… is wrong."

Pre-Movie. Was there a possible glimpse at Megamind's true destiny during his days of villainy, when Roxanne finds herself in a sticky situation and there's no one else to help her?
