"Good, now take a deep breath and raise your arms." Kakashi said calmly.

Erin exhaled a breath as she balanced herself on one foot, on a river, she slowly lifted her arms, two huge water drops floating.

"Now bring your hand together." He eyed her as she slowly brought her hands together.

Erin furrowed her brows as she tried her best to concentrate, as her hands touched the huge water drops connected in front of her.

Kakashi watched her body making sure it stood still, "Keep going." He reassured.

Erin took a deep breath, feeling a bit of cold sweat on her forehead, feeling her supporting leg's muscles work.

She exhaled and concentrated as the big water drop in front of her slowly separated into little drops.

Kakashi looked up at the small water drops, he had a small proud smile under his mask.

Erin then groaned as she slowly focused on letting the water drop float slowly down, back in the river.

Kakashi let out a satisfied sigh as the water drops disappeared into the river, "That was great Erin." He said as she slowly opened her eyes.

Erin sighed and finally let her other leg down, "It's not enough," She walked out to the grass, "None of it is, I feel the same when i train with my team," Erin became frustrated, "I need to get better if i want to become jonin."

Kakashi walked off of the water, "But Riku had been telling me you improved a lot," He walked after Erin, "Plus, you have a lot of time for more training, you won't be recommended until next month." He stated.

Erin nodded as she turned to face him, "I know, but how do you know that everyone will agree that I deserve to be promoted."

Kakashi stood in front of her, "After that stunt you pulled at the Chunin exams two years ago, everyone saw how strong you are." He explained, looking into Erin's eyes, "You will be fine." He placed his hand on her shoulder.

Erin took a deep breath, "I guess." She gave Kakashi a small smile.

Kakashi chuckled, "I got to go, i have a meeting with the Hokage." He said as he let his hand fall from her shoulder.

"About what?" Erin asked, tilting her head in confusion.

Kakashi let out a sigh, "Nothing much. Just a mission probably." He said as he began to walk.

"A mission?" Erin walked next to him, "Then who am i going to train with after practice with my team." She looked up at him.

"With you teacher." He replied with a yawn.

"But he always says it's enough for the day after we wrap up our training." Erin replied.

"Then you should probably listen to him." Kakashi glanced at Erin.

Erin groaned, "You are so annoying." She sighed.

Kakashi snorted, "You are worse." He said in his smug tone.

Erin glared at the man, "Aren't you supposed to be mature enough not to respond." She rolled her eyes.

Kakashi shrugged, "Supposed to. That doesn't mean i have to." He smirked underneath his mask.

"Are you serious?" Erin chuckled, "You are so weird." She still held a smile.

Kakashi chuckled and ruffled her hair harshly, "You better speak nicely to your teacher!"

Erin laughed and pushed his hand off of her hair and fixed it, "Yeah right." She smirked.

Kakashi shook his head with a sigh, "You are way too much Erin Tamaya." He said.
