Section 3: Habits and Reminders
It was getting late though, and Kakashi seemed pretty content with the missions they've completed in the day. The walked along the forest road right outside of Konoha Village when Kakashi halted up the group. He remained silent, keeping the three home-eager genin on the edge of their seats.
"Wait, I have one more mission for you guys..." Their faces looked as if they could melt off in disappointment. Kakashi sat there with a stern look in his eye, until he started leaning forward. Then with a crack of amusement he utters, "Just kidding."
Sakura gasps and say, "Kakashi-sensei, how could you!" with a smile on her face.
"I'm sorry, just had to end today's missions on a good note." Kakashi then turns away from the three flipping open his little novel (once again), and begins walking away. "I'll see you all tomorrow." He stops and turns his head to Naruto's direction. "Bright and early..."
Knowing he was getting singled out, Naruto jumps up saying, "No problem, you bother heard him.... Bright and early! I've got it!" Pointing towards Sakura and Sasuke, "You might want to worry about them though, becau..."
Naruto was interrupted with a fist to the face via Sakura. "What are you talking about you oaf! You were the sack of rice who wouldn't get up this morning in the first place!"
Kakashi chuckled to himself. "I'll see you later." While walking away, he thought to himself, "It's never a dull moment with those three."
Naruto shot up rubbing his reddened cheek, when he suddenly heard the bellowing of his empty belly. He reacted by reaching in his pocket for the frog shaped money pouch he was so, so proud of. He fished his finger around the pouch, and looked up smiling. "Ramen-time!"
"Ugh," Sakura though, "does he eat anything else but ramen? He's going to be unhealthy is he keeps that up..." Naruto prances along into the village happily with his new found plans for the night. Sakura watches him leave, when she turns around with her eyes closed and a smile on her face. "So looks like it's just..." She then notices that Sasuke isn't there anymore. She just stands still for a moment, and drops her head, sighing. "...me."
