Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.


Kakashi groans as his genin leave the training ground.

The pink one—he should re-christen her the terrifying one—had glared at him with brilliant green eyes, her mouth curled in a snarl and lifted a kunai to her neck.

"Never." She had spat at him as he held the squirming ball of sunshine that was his sensei's son.

He had been struck by such a blow of affection and sadness that he had to blink before letting Naruto go.

As he watches Sasuke keep his hand on the girl's waist and Naruto beam at her with happy eyes and a trembling mouth, he wonders how he will fit into this team if this girl can already lead these boy with a simple look.

(Inside, he grins—it has been a long time since he's seen someone with such love for their teammates.)
