You watched as Naruto stuck his head out the shoji door. "He's late."  Naruto complains tersely as you read the papers on Iruka's desk. "Test papers.. grading papers.. group papers.." you listed out every kind of paper you found and scribbled on a blank clipboard.

Checking papers is such a bore..

You sighed in tiredness, tucking your hair behind your ear as you gaze up to your friend who was putting up a chalk eraser by the top of the door. "Naruto-chan?" You asked, placing down the papers on the desk.

"I'm just giving him what he deserves, (n/n)-chan!" He grinned from ear to ear as he frolicked.

Your conversation reached the other twos' ears as they turn to stare at both of you.  "Very well then," You took out a small rectangular box
and opened it, taking out your reading glasses inside and put them on, reading the papers carefully. 

Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke were having a short convo while you read papers.

***

Haku was washing some dishes while Zabuza was sharpening his kubikiribōchō when the door bell rang. "Zabuza-san, can you please get it for me?" Haku asked, putting the dry plates into the cabinet.

Zabuza sighed and responds with a simple "sure" and walks up to the front door and opened it. Outside the house, on the porch, was a group of three. Two females and one male.

The silver white haired female spoke, "Hi~! My name's Yuri. These are my teammates; Akamatsu and Akane. We're (Y/N)'s friends, is she here?"

***

You looked up from the paper to see an old companion from the ANBU, picking up the eraser from the ground and held it up. "Hm. How can I put this? My first impression of this group..  You're a bunch of idiots." The rest of the team deadpans while you push your glasses up to your nose.

You smiled at his way, "Hound-kun, it's been quite a while."

He turned to you and showed you his signature smile. "That's right. Hime-sama."

Your team looked between you and Kakashi in confusion. "(n/n)-chan? You know him??" Your lips curled upwards as you responded, "Yes. I do." Although not known to many, your older brother and Kakashi were partners in the ANBU until Sumire disappeared. And you often go with your brother on missions for experience so you talked with Kakashi during those missions.

~~~

You and your team sat by the steps on the rooftop while Kakashi sat on the railing. Taking off your glasses, you placed them back in the box where they belonged and hid it in your pocket. "Hopefully it doesn't fall out as my pocket has no zipper," You mumbled in worry.

Kakashi broke the silence, "All right. Why don't you introduce yourselves one at a time?"

"Introduce ourselves?" Sakura asked. "Well what are we supposed to say?"

Kakashi spreads his arms out and answered. "Things you like. Things you hate. Dreams for the future. Hobbies. Things like that." Naruto comes up with an idea and suggests it. "Why don't you tell us stuff first? I mean, before we talk, tell us about you, so we can see how it's supposed to work."

The grey haired jounin pointed to himself. "Me? I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate—— I don't feel like telling you that." Naruto and Sakura both perked up a little  surprised. "My dreams for the future—— never really thought about it. As for my hobbies—— I have lots of hobbies."

Sakura turned to you and the others, "That was totally useless. All he really told us was his name." She complained as Naruto nodded in response. "Okay, your turn. You on the right—— you first."

Naruto grinned ear to ear and began his speech, "Believe it. I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like instant ramen in a cup, and I really like the ramen Iruka-Sensei or (n/n)-chan got me at the Ichiraku noodle shop. But I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you pour the water in the ramen cup. My hobby is eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage. Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody—— somebody important."

Well, he's grown up in a very interesting way. Kakashi thought.

Kakashi eyes roamed over to Sakura. "All right. Next." Sakura smiled and spoke up, "I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like—— uh—— I mean, the person I like is——" Sakura giggled, looking at Sasuke. "Uh, my hobby is—— uh——" She kept staring between Sasuke and the empty space beside her. "My dream for the future is——" She squealed.

"And? What do you hate?''

"Naruto!"

Naruto figuratively shedded anime tears as you rubbed circles on his back. "It's fine, Naru-chan.." You muttered repeatedly. "Next."

Girls her age are more interested in boys than in ninja training.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone." Despite saying it in a cold tone, you and Kakashi were not affected by child's play. However, Naruto was.

Sweat formed on Naruto's face. Gee, uh, I hope he doesn't mean me.

A blush crept on Sakura's cheeks. Sasuke is so hot.

Kakashi squinted his eyes, Just as I thought.

You meekly avoided eye contact, he seems too emo for me to befriend.

"Last one," Kakashi announced as everyone's eyes were on you. "(Y/N) Saruyame. My likes—— I have quite a lot same goes for my dislikes, and not much hobbies. My dream is to. . ."

"Watch the world suffer in my hands."
