'wood release technique' . . . oh my gawd, it's so bad it's hilarious. am laughing too, too hard over here.

Is a pun I've been wanting to use like forever. ♥ I'm really kind of surprised that I haven't seen it done elsewhere, even if Yamato isn't terribly popular. Much like Chouji's Partial Multi-Size being used for prep, y'know?

HILARIOUS. I love Tenzou's reaction so much.

[tj_dragonblade]

Glad I finally had an excuse to write such an obvious pun. All things considered, I think Tenzou's reaction is probably the smartest. ^_^ My response in that situation would be decidedly violent. ^_^;

I just love how Tenzou is totally serious at first -- what, seriously, I'm exhausted but that's important before he realizes Kakashi's just being an ass, and waking him up for no reason. (Well, no good reason, given how tired he is.)

I was sitting here, completely serious, thinking "It can't be the sharingan, that can't be used to copy blood line techniques" and then I reached the punch line and nearly snorted the Easter egg I was eating up my nose!

I love how silly this is while still being completely believable coming from Kakashi :p

[tj_dragonblade]

I'm thoroughly pleased with your response (although I definitely wouldn't encourage the snorting of eggs, Easter or otherwise). XD I've been dying to use the pun somewhere ever since I found out 'mokuton' can be literally translated as 'wood release' and this prompt was apparently what I was waiting for. ^_^ Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for reading!

Hah, well, thank you, and thanks for the prompt! ^_^ It was a lot of fun to write.
