Minato did not like being interrupted when he was training and this thing had done just that. He had just been perfecting one of his new jutsus Jiraiya-sensei had taught him when it came bursting through the trees, chasing after something. He'd just barely managed not to hit it as it tumbled to the ground.
Now it was sitting on the ground, trying to collect itself. Minato stood in front of it, arms crossed, looking down his nose. His fiercest glare was on his face, trying to make it very clear that he was not happy. Then it looked up at him through its red bangs.
"Look where you're aiming, you nearly hit me!" The it was actually a she, he could finally tell after getting a good look at her face, and she obviously had no idea what she had just gotten herself into.
He was Namikaze Minato and he was seriously ticked off at the little girl before him. He was a full fledged genin and she looked a couple of years younger, obviously still an Academy student. She was glaring at him and her entire attitude just seemed to tick him off for some reason.
"Just get out of here kid, it's not safe." He wanted to sigh, but he managed to restrain himself. He'd never quite managed to get the hang of expressing emotions to other people, no matter what they were. He always came off as polite and well-mannered. It was starting to get on his nerves.
The little red-head looked at him for a second before jumping to her feet. She crossed her arms as well and somehow managed to look down her nose at him even though he was a foot taller. "My name's not 'kid' its Uzumaki Kushina! Got that blondie?"
Just once he wished he could express his annoyance. "Very well then Uzumaki-san, I'm Namikaze Minato. You should head back to the village, these training fields are dangerous."
She seemed to think about his words before grinning at him and running back the way she came. Before she left his sight she turned around once more. "It's Kushina-chan not Uzumaki-san! See ya later Mina-kun!"
'Mina-kun'? He almost shuddered, thinking about what the girl had decided to call him. As he went back to training he hoped fervently that he never saw her again.
A/N: I've wanted to do a series of drabbles for forever and I finally got around to doing it! Since they're drabbles obviously they're going to be short and I hope to be able to put up one everyday! I realize that this is my fourth project going on at the moment, but if I have pressure then I do better. Please review with any prompts that you want me to do! Hope you loved it!
