I don't own Naruto.

"Ne, ne, Kaka-sensei?"

"Yes, Sakura?"

"I'm not sure if you know this or not, but everytime someone describes your eye smiles they say it's an upside down u."

"Of course I know that."

"But 'u' upside down is 'n' isn't it?"

"It is, sometimes."

"Then why don't they just say it's an n?"

"Because when they say it they visualize a capital U, and N is not the upside down version of it."

"So? It's not like capital N is the most commonly-Wait, well, on a mission with Naruto it probably is. But, it's not like it's the most commonly used letter."

"That doesn't matter. Capital letters are usually first in our minds."

"That may be true, but then why do we use lowercase letters more?"

"Because lowercase letters pave the road of life while capital letters outline it."

"Really? Did you really just use your excuse as an analogy?"

"Yes, yes I did."

"I admit it's a good one, but...You're still late, think of more excuses."

"Meh, My excuses are fine."

"Riight, if you're going to make us wait here for hours at least give us new entertainment every now and again."

"Ah, but where's the fun in that?"

"In the creativity."

"Whatever you say Sakura."

"KAKASHI-SENSEI! SAKURA-CHAN!"

"Run! He's coming for us! NOOOOO!"

Poof! Kakashi disappears by shunshin.

"YOU LAZY BASTARD! YOU COULD'VE TAKEN ME WITH YOU!"

Poof! Poof! Kakashi poofs! back and takes Sakura with him. Naruto shows up, wearing his new green jumpsuit to train his muscles.

"I could've sworn they were just here. Aww, well, maybe Kiba'll run with me."

Half-way across the village in the Inuzuka compound Kiba shivers in fear.

"What was that? OH SHIT! He's gonna make us run with him again, HIDE AKAMARU!"

"BARRK! GRRRARRR!" That kid has killer stanima, we haven't recovered from last time yet!

"I know boy. Less talkie, more hidey!"

And so, Naruto finally gave up and ran with Lee and Gai, Kiba and Akamaru hid for a good day and a half, Kakashi taught Sakura the shunshin, and Sakura didn't destroy his book. Or see his face. Poor Sakura-chan, at least she can get away from Lee and/or Naruto now. Maybe.
