FILLER: Kakashi's Face!

Kazumi finished eating a ball of rice, raising a brow at Naruto's edginess. Sakura stood next to her, twirling her finger through a strand of Kazumi's long blonde hair. Sasuke had his arms crossed, also noticing Naruto's mischievous manner bubbling.

Team seven were currently outside, waiting for their sensei to appear and give them demands. Like always, Kakashi was late. Even after they finished their mission, it was almost no point in waiting for his goodbyes.

"Hey... don't you guys wanna see it?" Naruto suddenly spoke, his lips curling up like a cat's, "It's about time..."

"What?" Sasuke asked.

Sakura stopped playing with Kazumi's hair to frown at them. 

"Kakashi-sensei's... real face!" Naruto pulled a scary grin, using a flashlight to luminate his expression when leaning towards the two girls.

Kazumi's brows furrowed down at him, unimpressed.

Sakura flinched back, shrieking, "What are you doing?!" She shouted, smacking her fist over his head.

Sasuke turned around, shoving his hands into his pockets, "That's stupid." He huffed, "I'm not interested. Today's mission is over, so I'm going home..."

"Yeah, I agree..." Sakura instantly straightened up with a dreamy smile, although Kazumi could read her like an open book.

Of course she'd be interested. And as for Kazumi, the topic played on her mind ever since she first met the jounin. 

"Well, I'm in." Kazumi nodded, surprising her team.

Sasuke stopped walking away to look over his shoulder at her, irked, "You can't be serious...?"

"Kazumi?!" Sakura gasped, cheeks red. Without realising it, Kazumi's easiness pulled Sakura's true feelings for the unknown.

Naruto cackled, giving Kazumi a rough pat on the back, "That's great!!"

Kazumi rolled her eyes, ignoring his antics.

Sasuke scoffed, snapping back around to storm off. However, Naruto's mischief did not decline when it came to Sasuke.

"Maybe he has..." Naruto's words paused Sasuke, "Lips like cod roe?"

Kazumi looked up at the sky whilst Sasuke fought an internal childish battle. Her mind imagined Kakashi pulling down his mask to reveal fat lips like piles of traditional cod roe squished together. The moment she looked back down, she watched Sasuke wiggle side to side, obviously intrigued.

Naruto sniggered, "Or maybe buckteeth?" 

Sasuke stiffened, and the interaction caused Kazumi to nearly laugh.

"What about a tiny mouth?" Kazumi suggested, elbowing Naruto's side.

Naruto sniggered louder, struggling to contain the giggles. Sakura placed a shy hand over her mouth, shocked by Kazumi's imagination. The concepts continued eating away at Sasuke's curiosity until he finally spun back to face them.

"Fine!"

Sakura then inwardly cheered, pumping her fists. Naruto and Kazumi shared a knowing look, their own grins buzzing.

"But... this is rare..." Kakashi's voice sighed.
