"Kakashi-sensei," Sakura said randomly, four months later.

Kakashi turned to her. "Yes, Sakura?"

"We want a C-rank soon or we trap the field again."

Kakashi paled, but his mask hid it well. They still caught it. "I'm sure the mission office has a minor C-rank we can do."

"Yay!" Naruto cheered, "We can finally use those really really good storage seals I can draw up!"

"Naruto," Sasuke said, "We use them anyway."

Naruto frowned, pulling out a seal. "No, the people storing ones!" He proudly showed the seal to Kakashi, who inspected it, then pulled a nearly identical seal out of his weapons pouch.

"I see," Kakashi muttered, checking over Naruto's seal carefully. "This is actually better than the one sold in the supply shops." Kakashi decided to get Naruto in for a chat with the Hokage about supplying ANBU with seals. It would be much appreciated, as with Kakashi not around to copy the seals, with all the dangerous missions they went on, they simply couldn't afford prisoner transport seals like this, as they tended to burn out after a single-use.

"Well, yeah, all supply shop seals suck," Naruto said casually.

"If you can keep it just in this team, I'm sure the Hokage would be open to allowing you to have a secondary source of income, but we'll have to discuss it with him." Kakashi shushed them as he led them to the mission room, only to find the Hokage there. "Lord Third, I believe my team is ready for a C-rank."

"We do have a C-ranked escort mission," the Hokage said, selecting the scroll. "If you wanted something else, you should've been earlier, Akiko's team came in and took the other minor C-rank."

Kakashi nodded. "We'll take the escort mission."

"Send in the client," the Hokage called, the door opening slightly after. An older man with a sake bottle in his hand walked in.

"These are just a bunch of snot-nosed brats!" He announced. "That short one, is he even a ninja?"

Naruto looked up from where he was drawing another seal and pouted at the man. Then he went back to work, Sakura keeping an eye on the seal. She didn't see any explosive symbols, so it was probably safe. But, better safe than sorry, so she kept an eye on it.

Naruto finished it with a swirl in the middle, then walked right up to the client, and stuck it on his arm, activating it as he did so.

The client's eyes cleared, and he didn't seem drunk anymore. "What did you do to me kid?" He asked, staring at him astonished.

"I turned off the alcohol. Sakura-chan says it's bad for you," Naruto informed him.

Sakura blinked. The hospital would kill for seals like that. And so would the majority of the Shinobi population. They could get drunk, then be sober within seconds.

Kakashi knew exactly what Sakura was thinking. Mostly because he was thinking it himself. It would be a useful seal to have. For anyone. He nodded to his Genin. "We leave tomorrow morning. 9:00. Come packed and ready for a month-long trip. Lord Third, may I have a chat with you for a moment?"

Kakashi's genin nodded, darting out the door, Tazuna following almost dazedly.

"What did you want to speak to me about, Kakashi?" The Hokage asked, watching him.

Kakashi decided that it was fine having the other shinobi in here, they were all chuunin or above, they'd be fine hearing it. "Naruto has created a prisoner transport seal that is miles above the one currently sold in the supply shops. I wanted to discuss setting up a system so he could have a secondary income from the seals he makes. I know the ANBU are going to want to get their hands on as many of these transport seals as possible, they can most certainly be used multiple times. And they're more stable and can store anything, not just humans."

Iruka whistled under his breath. "I know most people would kill to get their hands on those. Prisoner transport seals are useful but ridiculously expensive."

"And with his shadow clones, he can create thousands of seals in just a little while," Kakashi added.

The Hokage nodded. "You make a good point. I'll talk to him after the mission and see about setting him up as our main seal supplier if we can."

Kakashi nodded. "Out of curiosity, what mission did Akiko and her team take?"

"They took a delivery mission, out to Rice. Nothing should go wrong. Like yours," Iruka said. "Do try and avoid blowing Wave up though, it would be highly ill-advised."

Kakashi nodded. "I will endeavor to keep them from pranking the living kami out of the inhabitants as well."

"Perhaps introduce Sakura and Sasuke to practicing medical ninjutsu on fish," Lord Third suggested. "And set Naruto on a seal that makes medical chakra when you put chakra into it. He'd have some fun with that one."

Kakashi nodded, filing those ideas away for later. "I will keep those in mind. Good day, Lord Third, Iruka-san."

"Have a good day, Kakashi," Lord Third replied, adjusting a scroll on the desk.

Kami apparently didn't want Kakashi to get a break because he ran into Akiko right outside the tower.

"Hello, Kakashi, how are the little hellions?" She asked, greeting him.

"Hello Akiko," he replied tiredly. "The hellions are fine, we got a C-rank today."

Akiko bobbed her head. "You heard we got one as well?"

Kakashi nodded. "To the land of Rice?"

"I have a secondary mission to get some intel," Akiko said, sighing. "My genin will be staying with the client for a few days while I do some scouting and poking around."

"Be careful," Kakashi advised.

"Of course," Akiko replied, smiling at him fondly.

(A/N) *Starts cackling* *subsides to giggles* *grinning cheekily* Wasn't that sweet. Yes, I did all of those things, in that order. Ending with the cheeky smile, which is most certainly still on my face. *smirks*
