Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
It is in the second week that they begin what Sakura calls: Hell: The Limited edition.
Apparently, as Sakura finds out, the rest of the ninja prefers to call them D-Ranks.
"Maa, children. Gather round, gather round." Kakashi tells them brightly, corralling them to the center of the bridge, a gleam burning in his eyes that Sakura does not trust at all.
"Well, how are we this morning?" Their sensei beams and Sakura actually shudders in suspicion. Naruto is staring at Kakashi like he told them he wore thigh-high garters under those loose jonin pants and had stacks of nipple piercings under his mesh shirt.
Even Sasuke—cold, aloof Sasuke—is glaring at Kakashi with a little less edge and a lot more mistrust.
"We're…good." Sakura sniffs haughtily, drawing her arms across her chest and staring up at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Ah that's good, darlings. That's so good. You will need your energy for this after all!" Kakashi grins, even putting away that horrible book of his. "We've got a mission!"
Later, Sakura will realize that absolute horror that Kakashi is—as a human being, as a sensei and as a person who was barely acquainted with common decency—but for now, her thoughts taken over with Naruto's excited shouting and Sasuke's loose shoulders and tiny, satisfied smile, she lets herself live the dream.
It ends after the fourth hour spent chasing the god damn fucking cat.
