I was there sitting alone in front of the fire and warming my hands, staring into the flame. When I felt a presence behind me. I looked up; it was Kakashi; he was hovering over me, watching the fire.

            “I thought you were already asleep…”

            He sat beside me, giving me a deadpan look with a sleepy eye. He shook his head, smirking.

            “Well…I was trying to... but Naruto’s loud mouth woke me up.”

            I smiled and sighed,

            “Oh, that Naruto…what are you going to do with him.”

            Kakashi looked at me with a soft expression.

            “I think the question is…what will you do with him?”

            I tilted my head in confusion, puzzled by what he meant. Then it hit me: he must have overheard our conversation. I threw one last log into the fire as I sat back.

            “You heard that conversation we were having?… I don’t want to step on your toes and tell you how to train your genin, but I think Naruto could learn a lot from me. I think I can get through to him…I want to train him."

            I smiled as I looked over at his tent and heard his loud snores. Kakashi looked over as he laughed with me.

            “I am going to bed…I’m exhausted and need to rest up so I can be ready to get Somato to the village tomorrow. I’ll need my chakra all recharged in case we have any more unexpected guests.”

            Kakashi nodded as he watched me walk to my tent. I got in and zipped up the front; I laid down and was fast asleep.

            The following day, I was awakened by two loud, obnoxious voices going back and forth. I think they were arguing about who would eat the last rice ball. I rolled my eyes as I buried my face into my pillow.

            “Ugh…those boys are going to be the end of me!”

            Kakashi unzipped my tent, sticking his head in. I looked at him with total shock as I covered everything but my eyes and the top of my head with my blanket.

            “Are you up lazy? We have to get going soon if we are going to make it to the Waterfall Village today…  Somato seems to be very eager to be rid of us…”

            I grabbed my pillow and threw it straight at Kakashi’s face. For whatever reason, he didn’t try to dodge, so it hit him straight on. He gave me that deadpan look for a second and slowly backed outside.

            I made sure to get ready, packing up my things before I got out of the tent. I saw the boys finished packing up their things; Sakura and Somato were taking down their tents. I began to take down mine as my stomach growled. Kakashi looked at me with a comprehensive eye.

            “Isamu…was that you?”

            I averted my gaze as I finished putting my tent away; I felt my cheeks flush.

            “No…that must have been…”

            Kakashi handed me a rice ball before I could finish my sentence. I took it reluctantly, eating it as he smiled down at me.

            Once everyone got their things together, we started to move out. We weren’t far now; maybe a few hours left before we reached the main gates. We were all picking up speed to ensure we completed this mission immediately. I could tell everyone was ready to be done and head home.
