Kakashi was never quite sure why he had accepted Gai's challenges but even when doing so he only competed half heartily. Some proved to rather difficult as in the "rock tunnel" or "starvation" ones(both of which, Kakashi had won) to just inane silliness that could barely be described in words, but we're going to try anyway.

The oddest one til the point had been "who can balance themselves on a raisinet longest", and for the record Gai did not win, but the ground on Kakashi's level was ever so slightly uneven. It was. Really and Truly.

Some contests were suicidal, but C'mon these were two highly trained Jounin, what should they fear? Lions, Tigers, Tsunade, and a Hungry Choji were pretty high on the list after a few…er… mishaps if you'd call them that. These daring ( and Dashing!) men were brave and true but never before had they dared to break the law severely. But for their credibility the Third's law about peeping toms had only applied to Jiraiya at the time.

But this time it went above and beyond breaking a law. This might have been the scariest position they'd put themselves in since the Kyuubi attack almost twenty years ago. Small children who adored him to the Elders who, unwillingly, obeyed his laws , no one even dared to question the makings of this particular one. So when Gai in a desperate attempt to pull into the lead 70:70, he announced it.

" ETERNAL RIVAL! I CHALANGE YOU!….Who ever is the first stop Ayame in her one required task of the day… as it is to say, stop the Ramen Rule."

The Ramen Rule, one of Kohana's most bizarre laws ever. It itself entitled three parts:

The Hokage can always eat ramen despite the medical advice given.

All citizens of Kohana must have Ramen at least once a week

No one is to stop Ayame Ichiraku's grocery or delivery route.

To make a long story short, by the end of the day Gai was hung from a tree with little fox kits yipping and jumping trying to bite them. Such cute lil' critters and Kakashi… well he walked off with another win. To simply say Gai was confused and a bit annoyed that he went unpunished.

"Where is Ayame? I tried to start her but these fox here stopped me. Did you forfeit my ETERNAL RIVAL!" As Gai's tears streamed down unto the ground, seeing as he was upside down.

" I stopped her from delivering to Naruto… she never made it to the tower."

"THEN HOW ARE YOU NOT AT THE WRATH OF OUR YOUNGA ND EXUBRIENT HOKAGE?"

"Simple really. He enjoys when Ayame delivers his Ramen. But from my experience its even better when a sand-nin joins in the combo."

"Ah my ever cool rival, how could I have not seen this? Of course he'd want one of his closets friends the Kazekage to have lunch with him! You have won this one Kakashi."

'Gaara? Well he's lost. Temari seemed a little anxious to deliver the Ramen. Hmm maybe he's finally learning from the Ichi Ichi.'

And as Naruto eats his Ramen with his, ahem, helper, both Kakashi and Gai cry tears of joy and sorrow.

In a manly way, of course.
