Theme: Where's Naruto
"Oi, Kakashi, where's Naruto?"
The silver-haired man overlooked his orange book of goodness to see Sasuke staring at him expectantly. The Jounin lifted a hand and scratched his chin boredly. "He went training with Jiraiya this morning. I don't know when he'll be back, but if Jiraiya is going to teach him something new, he won't be back for at least a week."
Sasuke visibly deflated like a balloon and the man raised an eyebrow. "Oh--uh, thanks."
"Did you need something?" Kakashi snapped the book shut and stuffed it into the safety of his pouch.
"No, not really. Just was going to ask if he wanted to spar with me, that's all." His voice was meek, and his expression distant.
The teacher stared at him. "Do you want to train with me instead? I'll spar with you until he comes back." He offered.
The Uchiha slouched even more, face contorted into one of extreme disappointment. "No, that's okay. I'll go home and study some scrolls."
"Getting lazy already? To think, I was only gone for a couple of hours. Tisk, tisk, shame on you," a mocking voice sounded from behind.
Sasuke whipped around and saw the grinning Naruto. "You're back?"
"Pervy Sage just wanted to check on me and see how much progress I've made. He had me do some fancy tricks and stuff like that, but nothing big" He closed his eyes only to open one a crack to peek at his teammate. "So, wanna train?"
"Yeah! Let's go."
Kakashi sighed at the sight before he headed back to the village in search of some entertainment--preferably a certain Chunin.
