"What're you doing?" Minato asked his female student as he watched the girl sort through a medkit that wasn't her usual, checking to make sure that everything was in place.
The medkit in his student's hands was a rather nice beginner's medkit that came complete with miniature storage scrolls full of bandages and other supplies one might need out in the field, but didn't come with the surgical supplies that a medic of Rin's caliber would usually equip herself with, which was somewhat odd. Marking the medkit further as an anomaly was the fact that Rin's usual medkit was in its normal spot in her pack.
"I'm doing a last-minute check to make sure Kakashi's Jounin present is in order." Rin replied with a slight blush, clearly imagining Kakashi's reaction to said present.
Kakashi's...? Oh crap.
Minato's stomach sank upon the realization that he'd completely forgotten Kakashi's present, which he'd meant to go to the bookshop and get. He could be excused for his negligence in picking up the copy of The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi that he'd planned on getting his student, considering the fact that he'd been rather busy for the past month what with the training of his team, missions, and the making and testing of his new Hiraishin kunai in every spare moment he could get away from the rest of the team that wasn't spent wolfing down a quick meal, tending to his hygiene, or getting some much-needed sleep, but he didn't think his rather prickly student would forgive him if he turned up to congratulate the boy for making Jounin empty-handed.
He had to give Kakashi something, but what?
After mentally running down a checklist of the supplies he had on hand and marking down the ones that looked new enough, he suddenly had an idea. Considering the fact that he'd been making them in secret, and that they were being shipped to the battlefield where he would be doing his final test-run in secret as well, he was reasonably certain that Kakashi wouldn't be able to recognize the Hiraishin kunai that he'd kept as a bit of a souvenir, since it had been the first successful one that he made. Parting with it would be a bit of a wrench, but...
