Tsunade picked up a book and slammed it down with a thump on the desk. Or at least it look like a slam. She had long ago learned how to control her strength enough to manage those sort of displays without breaking anything. Startled, the students settled from their chattering and bickering long enough to sit in stunned silence while she gathered the pile of muddy weeds into the trash can and moved in front to lean on it momentarily before settling into seiza style on the floor in the circle which the students had moved into from the rows that they had started in. Perhaps so that more of them could attack at once? Tsunade smiled softly as she opened the book in front of her. Well, if that was the case, they had made an error since she could see all of them from here and preemptively end their strike. She made herself as comfortable as possible on the hardwood floor and began to read from the parable of the bird and the fox cub. As she began, she could almost see her grandfather sitting in his office and reading the same story to her, explaining how the tale embodied everything that the village was so beautifully that even she couldn't help but sit and listen. She could not imagine how any person could do less.
Which, when a few seconds later as a small boy whom she had privately dubbed Oko since she had yet to find the roll sheet, began to comment and giggle while imitating bodily functions, she decided that her personal opinion of the story was true. No person could ignore it. Unfortunately, young demons apparently could. She raised her voice and began to read louder, emphasizing certain parts the way she remembered hearing it read to her. The noises continued, even to the end, when the bird and the fox cub were trapped in the cave and forced to work together. She sighed and glanced with relief at the clock on the wall as she prepared to question them. When she glanced at the time though, her eyes widened in shock and fear.
Even with the weeds, the arguing, and the flatuently annotated story, only one single hour had passed.
A/N: A bit of background on the story. The inspiration for it came when I walked into the class for my teaching experience and was greeted by a handful of bright shining faces that scared the hell out of me. Especially with the obvious resemblance between a few of my students and younger variations to the older Naruto characters. Yes, I teach a chibi-Gai, chibi-Kakashi, chibi-Rin, and a chibi-Obito as well as the rest of my class. Yes, fear me. That combined with several comments disparaging the intelligence of people who teach young children, erupted into this with the idea of someone with that attitude forced to teach kids for a day and attempting to deal with their antics. Also, I will put this out there, but while my students and my own diabolicalness provide many ideas, I don't mind this being interactive so feel free to review with suggestions of what should happen next to Tsunade.
