3AM Ramblings

Depth Perception


Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto


A/N: Woot! Second-last chapter! One more chapter left to go guys! Thanks for the support (in advance) and yes, I will be quickly finishing all my unfinished stories before going on temporary leave for about a couple months to a year. So...yeah.

SereneGrace: I was originally going to make Team Yamato's plot going to work. But yes, I am evil so I denied SasuNaru fans the awesome yaoi action.

iluvninjas: Glad you liked it :) Your review made me super happy X) Extra smileys for you! C: C: C:


To those who knew him well (there were a lot), Naruto was very curious. About anything, really. It obviously didn't help that he was known to be a loudmouth, unable to keep things to himself but prefer to shout it out loud for the world to hear. So it wasn't surprising to Kakashi that his student sidled up to him one evening after training looking a bit sheepish.

It was, however, surprising to see Naruto be quiet for once, his mouth shut tight and his eyes shining with thought. Kakashi, being the true ninja that he was, saw each flicker of thought pass by the blonde's cerulean blue eyes.

"Ne, sensei…" Naruto looked a bit pensive, "I've been thinking…"

"Yes, Naruto?" Kakashi urged his student on.

Naruto rubbed his head sheepishly.

"Sensei, doesn't having one eye affect your ability to dodge?"

Kakashi looked up from the tattered orange book that he held in his hands lazily as he looked at his neon orange-clad student. He chuckled, snapping the book shut and stuffing it into his weapons pouch. He eye-smiled at his genin student.

"Naruto…to a true ninja, things like depth perception have no meaning…"

"Oh." came Naruto's reply.

"You see? I can walk around town with one eye without hitting into anyth-"

The silver-haired jounin was cut off with a loud "WHAM!" followed by the sound of birds when his head collided into a tree.


A/N: eh. This one is super short because I wrote it on a whim. Anyways, read and review! :)
