"So what's this letter, Naruto?" the silver-haired jounin asked his six-years-old charge.

"P," the boy answered, sounding confident.

"No," Kakashi shook his head. "Try again."

"B?" the little blond tried.

"Good," the masked man praised him. "And what is this one?"

"O."

"You got it on the first try," Kakashi smiled. "So what's this one?"

"It's the same. O."

"Right. And the next one?"

"B," the child answered. "This is boring."

"You're doing well. And we're almost done. So what's the last letter?"

"Z?"

"Close, but not quite," the jounin shook his head. "What is it?"

"Do I really have to do it?" Naruto whined. "I want to train to be an awesome ninja."

"You can't be an awesome ninja if you can't even read your mission assignment," Kakashi pointed out. "So what's the last letter?"

"S?"

"Very well," the man ruffled Naruto's hair. "So what does the word say?"

"B, o, o, b, s, hmmmmm... that's boobs," the boy said. "What's that?"

"That's a good question," a stern voice interjected. Kakashi jerked up. He hadn't noticed the newcomer until he spoke.

"Oh, Hokage-sama, what are you doing here?"

"I'm the one asking questions here," Sarutobi scowled. "I came to see how you were doing and what do I find here? Are you seriously teaching the child to read using Icha-Icha Paradise?"

"Uhhh... I can explain... it was the only book I could find..."

Kakashi was sacked immediatelly.
