The little urchins' apparently still had not inspired enough fear in their parents for them to forget to pack lunches, Tsunade noticed with approval as she watched the young children sprawling in their spots along the wall to eat. Tsunade sighed and sat down at her own designated spot, nursing a mug of coffee in her hands as she watched the class. They all were eating in relative peace it seemed, being deceptively quiet. Even the little boy in the white shirt who had been crying moments before seemed to be a little calmer than he had, his sobbing now reduced to hiccups.
The calmness was good. Even better was the fact that it seemed that nine of the students always were to go home for lunch, and about five mercifully did not take classes during the afternoon.
The boy with the mask and the one who wore the goggles had not been in that group, sadly. She sipped her coffee wistfully.
Then, out of nowhere came the frog. It did not ribbit or leap in the manner of normal frogs. Instead, this one seemed to be screeching in terror and its 'jump' had the precise arc of a projectile weapon.
It landed in her coffee cup and she promptly dumped it, as well as the rest of the contents onto the grass.
That she could not even blame Jiraiya for. The pervert did, in his defense, take care of his summoned toads.
And most of them would not have fit in her coffee cup.
The little boy with a white shirt ran over and grabbed the frog, stuffing it back into his lunch box.
"You found it!" he squealed joyfully. "You found my froggy!"
The small child hugged her impulsively in a vice grip, and after a second, Tsunade had worked her arms free to pry him off enough. Smiling a little at his idiotic grin on reflex, she touched a thin line that ran across his face and sent him off to finish eating his lunch.
One look at the sky and she gave an idiotic grin of her own, thinking about what would come in the next five minutes.
Nap time.
