Naruto wiped his hands on the grass, awkwardly trying to remove most of the blood and grime.  Beside him, Kakashi spoke quietly into his headset, relaying co-ordinates for hunter-nins and the Komugigakure police force, not bothering to do anything about the spreading redness on his left sleeve.

It hadn’t been that difficult to take the man down. ( Read more... )

 “You should sleep now,” Kakashi said, noting the low hang of the sun on the horizon and Sasuke’s unsteady breathing.  “Tomorrow we’ll start again.”

He was always bringing her honey dumplings.  Not that she ( Read more... )

From his position in the tree, Kakashi couldn't get a good enough view of Sasuke's lips to determine just what he said in order to make Naruto scoop a handful of leaves from the ground and chuck them at the other boy's face as hard as he could.

“What’s this?”

Sasuke held out the small box of chocolates and gazed stubbornly past Kakashi’s right ear, his cheeks and nose a rosy colour that was probably caused by the cold wind.  He made a small noise of annoyance and rattled the box underneath Kakashi’s nose.
