Kakashi had to admit Team Seven had come a long way since they first met – he now had only periodic urges to strangle and rarely imagined innovative new uses of lemon juicers in ninja training. Still, despite this, he couldn't help wincing when asked by the Hokage himself to undertake a very particular exercise with his young genin.
"Trick-or-treating?"
"An important rite of passage for any youngster." The Hokage leaned back, puffing at his pipe.
"I never trick-or-treated," Kakashi grumbled. "Does this involve dressing up?"
"Of course. Why ask when you already know?"
Kakashi never groaned. He only almost did, which was quite different, especially when wearing a mask.
Fin.
