Quick Author's Note: Yeah, yeah I have other fics that I really, REALLY need to finish, but this plot bunny was annoying the hell out of me so I just had to get it down. It's completely finished and the whole thing will be put up in a few days. Thanks for reading and I promise I will finish my other fic as soon as my computer stops being a dick.

The first time Umino Iruka saw the great Hatake Kakashi, he hadn't been too impressed.
He had been out with his father when they had run into none other than the "Yellow Flash", Namikaze Minato, and his newly formed Genin team. Iruka's father had known Minato through a mission they had together and after introducing his new students they talk amiably while his team stood behind him. Although there were two others Iruka hadn't ever heard of before (a pretty kunoichi and a loud mouth Uchiha), it was the quiet masked boy at the end that piqued Iruka's interest.
He had heard all about the child prodigy of the Hidden Leaf and honestly he had been expecting someone with a little more pizzazz. While he hadn't imagined an eight-foot tall beefed up six-year-old, he defiantly hadn't expected a normal sized boy two years his elder who looked as if he were barely out of preschool, let alone a renowned ninja academy. The silver haired kid was stoic and stiff, with shoulders back and head held high, and frankly Iruka didn't see what the big deal was. All the small four-year old saw in his naive eyes was a poor boy that had lost his childhood due to his disgrace of a father which he didn't really understand at his young age.
As his father and Minato said their goodbyes he politely waved as the Uchiha and the girl said farewell, but all Iruka could remember was the cold way Kakashi had turned and just walked away, giving Iruka the worst first impression you could leave on a four-year old.
