The morning at the academy had been hectic for Iruka-sensei - the kids were all full of the excitement of the festival and it was almost impossible to get them to settle down at all. Iruka felt mildly guilty for assigning four detentions in one hour but justified them with the fact that if some punishment hadn't been handed out then his sanity would be at great risk.
Sometimes, though not often, he wondered if he should reconsider his career choice.
Smiling to himself as he walked out of the academy, he knew perfectly well that he would never change his job - being a ninja on dangerous missions was one thing, but there was something fulfilling and wholly rewarding about teaching and watching his students grow from unruly kids to dedicated ninja.
Rewarding, but tiring he thought, running a hand over his hair as he strolled towards the Ichiraku Ramen Bar - he thought he'd treat himself after the rough morning he'd been subjected to. Ramen without Naruto was an unusual occurrence but generally speaking, a cheaper one than ramen with Naruto...
Ducking under the cloth panels, Iruka greeted the waitress as he slid into one of the stools, picking up a menu to deliberate over what to have for lunch.
