"Winner: Hatake Kakashi!"

A pair of medics came to carry away the unconscious genin, perhaps pinning the Kumo-nin with wire and then electrocuting him was a bit much but-...

"Pathetic little monster, I bet your father can't stand you. Your sensei probably only entered you so he wouldn't have to deal with you any more- he was likely disappointed you didn't die already."

...-he really didn't care.

Kakashi walked off the field on his own power, slumping slightly when a medic accosted him in the exit tunnel but he didn't argue over being fussed over. It was there that Tousan and Sensei met up with him, the blond grinning while his father took on an amused expression at his resigned posture to the medic.

"He's fine." the medic eventually declared. "Tired but that's expected. Make sure he eats a hearty meal then gets a good night's sleep- have him sleep in if possible too, extra rest will only do him good."

Sensei nodded to the kunoichi as Tousan stooped to grab him and place him on the man's shoulders. "I'll request to be informed of the decision on his promotion rather then him being summoned." Sensei promised.

"That leaves the meal, hmm?" Tousan said musingly, "I wonder where could we possibly-"

Kakashi huffed, tugging on his dad's hair. "Snack Akimichi. You promised if I did well and I won." He reminded.

"Hmm…" Tousan hummed thoughtfully. "I don't know...I can't remember saying something like that-" He grabbed a handful of hair and yanked. "Ow-ow-ow!" But Tousan was laughing so he knew it was fine. "Alright! Snack Akimichi it is! Who am I to argue with the Tournament Champion?"

Sensei deadpanned. "Certainly not his father." And Kakashi tossed a kunai at the blond, not even having to look for him to know his teacher had caught the weapon and stowed it away. "So cranky, Kakashi-chan, one would assume you'd lost or something."

"I won the Chūnin Exams," Kakashi protested. "Drop the '-chan'."

The blond sped up slightly, turning so he'd see the playful mischief lighting his teacher's face. "Maybe a nap would put you in a better mood, ne, Kakashi-chan?"

"Children." Tousan said, amused, before he'd done more then reach for his weapon pouch. It was satisfying to see Sensei turn a light red and cough embarrassedly at the admonishment. "We're here."
