A Ninja's Path (Kakashi X Reader)

Chapter Seventy Seven

"Hmm?" You pulled away to stretch.

The silver haired man cleared his throat. "I- I... we're not ready... yet?"

You paused and looked at him and smiled. "We will see, pervert."

And with a sweep of your imaginary cloak (because you didn't have yours anymore) you strolled back toward the war camp.

*~*

"Remember what Kakashi-sensei said. Don't mention the incident with (Y/N)-sensei." Naruto whispered to his teammates.

"HMMM???" You hmmmed directly in his right ear.

"AGHFDF" Blondie tripped over himself in fear.

"(Y/N)-sensei! We didn't see you there!" Sakura exclaimed. She gulped nervously.

You squinted at your students in suspicion. "What's going on here..."

"Ah! (Y/N)!" Kakashi came up behind you, throwing his arms around your shoulders. "Why don't we get something to eat, it's after lunchtime."

"Kakashi..." You warned.

"What?" He darted his eyes around (just one, because you know, he covers the other one.............................................)

yes. the number of periods is intentional. I am expressing my anger through DOTS................

You scowled. "You're hiding something from me..."

Naruto stood back up, rubbing his head. "Uh... maybe?"

Sakura shoved him in the ribs. "He doesn't know what he's talking about. Still recovering from seeing Kakashi-sensei's face." The pinkette smiled. HARD. Like she was trying to force your suspicions away with pure will power.

"Sakura..." You warned. She met your eyes. You were surprised to find how determined they were. Well, her mind was made up.

You turned to your final student. "Sasuke."

"What?" He asked coldly. He picked at a hangnail.

"What are you hiding from me?"

He tsked. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't play dumb with me, Uchiha." You glared at him. "Of all people, I'd think you wouldn't put up with their shenanigans." You pointed at the rest of your team.

"Hey!" Naruto protested.

Sasuke scowled and crossed his arms. "I..." You leaned towards him earnestly, waiting to hear about this incident. "I..." Poor boy, actually seemed conflicted. "I... don't know what you're talking about."

You blew out a long breath. "Fine.... you guys win. For now." You grinned. "I will find out what this incident was- one way or another."

"Y-you're not gonna torture us- are you sensei?" Naruto asked worriedly.

You ruffled his hair. "Nah. I would never hurt you blondie." You heard him sigh in relief.

"Good. Because I got a lotta live for, ya know?"

"Oh yeah? Like what?" Sakura challenged.

The boy scrunched his face in thought. "For... ramen! And... and... ramen..."

The pinkette rolled her eyes. "It's all about food with you, isn't it?"

"A man's gotta eat, Sakura. You wouldn't understand."

You snorted. "Alright, little man. Since you're all high and mighty, why don't you do a little volunteering around the camp? Make some sort of contribution."
