Kakashi's excuses and their explanations

An insight in the life of everyone's most beloved Jounin (my big brother, yay!)

By Hatake Ayanne

It's amazing isn't it, how these situations always start out the same way. Team seven arrives at the bridge in time, sometimes one of them is a little late, but their teacher, Hatake Kakashi, arrives at least two hours late EVERY DAY! The man was a walking disaster, if you asked his team. Anyway, the situation would commence as follows: After Kakashi poofs in (in a cloud of smoke), Naruto and Sakura would both yell "YOU'RE LATE!!!" And Sasuke would add in a "Hn!", just for good measure. After this, Kakashi would scratch at the back of his neck and use one of these excuses…

I lost my way on the road of life

He went to visit Obito's grave, and lost track of time talking to his old teammate

A black Cat crossed my path and I had to take a different route here so I wouldn't get cursed by its evil powers

He overslept.

A turtle came to challenge me to a running match, and I simply couldn't refuse it

He ran into Gai one way or the other, and was challenged to a contest of some sort. Depending on the look of his eye you can tell if he lost or not: Smile curve means he won, lazy eyed twitch means he lost.

I had to go rescue a cat from a tree

He had to do one or the other thing for or with Sasuke (like train, or wake the kid up)

I had to help an old Lady Cross the street

He had a meeting, run-in or meeting with Tsunade, which was either longer than he'd anticipated, or it was unexpected.

I came across a Dolphin looking for the ocean, so I kindly took him to it

He ran into Iruka, or had stayed with said academy teacher to long, usually doing 'interesting things' to the man.

I lost my Marbles and I had to seach for them, and I even had to dissect a toad for it

He ran into Jiraiya and stayed to talk for too long.

I had to groom my dogs

ANBU business.

I found a wounded fox, so I brought it to the Animal hospital

Naruto had a Kyuubi attack, and Kakashi had to do something about it.

I got distracted by beautiful flowers growing on the side of the road, and I simply had to stand still and look at them for a while

Sakura had asked something of him, and he was off either doing it or investigating it.

My clock was four hours early (I saw 7, it was 11)

Clever as ever, these metaphors are exactly what one would expect from a Jounin of Kakashi's caliber. However, his students were oblivious to the art and beauty in these lines, and would now proceed with ending the situation the same way they always did.

"LIAR!!" "Hn!"
