097: Heaven

.

When Kakashi was a child and had felt big about advancing to chūnin, he went searching to get hit by lightning. And he did. (His hair had yet to recover from it.)

In hindsight, it was like heaven above telling him to cut out that hubris shit right now before he got himself or others hurt. Who did he think that he was, that he could control everything without pain? Kakashi missed getting the message then.

Years later, he was in a similar position: paralyzed, electrified and utterly terrified as he watched Sakura look at him in a new way.
