Summary: Kakashi got his twelve-year-old Genins drunk. Sasuke forgot about his revenge, Sakura was terrifying on a level Kakashi refused to touch, and Naruto...was silent. One-shot. OOCness.

-

It was a completely normal day. Team 7 had a D-rank outside the Village walls. It was done and they were trudging their way back home under the blinding sun.

Kakashi smiled cheerfully. "There's some shade over there! Why don't we take a break?"

Not even a second later, Naruto was hugging him, babbling about how he was the best sensei ever! Sakura thanked him, her face red from the heat, and even Sasuke looked relieved.

They sat in the shade and talked (or rolled their eyes, in Sasuke's case) until Kakashi said, "Let's have a drink!"

He handed out cups and poured some water into each. When they took a sip, though, it became very clear that it was not water.

Kakashi smirked under his mask.

Naruto proceeded to choke, spray Kakashi in the face with sake, and let out many cuss words that just made Kakashi chuckle. Sakura just spit the alcoholic drink out of her mouth, a scowl on her face. Sasuke was the only one to swallow, though with a great deal of effort.

He then turned to Kakashi. "What was that?"

"A drink," Kakashi said blandly.

"It's alcohol. We're twelve."

Naruto had moved on to words that weren't cuss words, but the way he said them sure made them sound dirty.

"Yeah," Sakura agreed, finally getting her bearings after that surprise, "it's bad for our immune system."

"Nonsense!" Kakashi said.

"Nonsense?! We could get liver disease!"

"Only with excessive drinking," Kakashi said flippantly. "Besides, my sensei, the Fourth Hokage, did it to our team. His sensei, Jiraiya the Sannin, did it to his, and his sensei, the Third Hokage, did it to his, and his sensei, the Second Hokage-"

"Did it to his?" Sasuke finished dryly.

"Yep! It's Team 7 tradition! Your first drink is with your teammates!"

"While that is very sweet and poetic," Sakura said, "we are, once again, twelve!"

"And again, this is a one-time thing! I'll make sure that you don't drink again until you're at the legal limit!" All bets are off after that, though.

Sakura's eye twitched. "...fine."

Sasuke glanced at her. She was a fangirl and very annoying, but Sasuke had to admit her strengths. She had always scored more than him on the written tests, even he had scored the best overall.

Sasuke had known drinking at their age was bad, but he didn't really know any of the specifics. From Sakura's scandalized look, she probably did.

This was just a one-time thing. If Sakura, who seemed to know the most about this subject (bar Kakashi), agreed...

Sasuke hesitantly nodded.

All eyes turned to Naruto.

Naruto's eye twitched.

"Oh hell no! I don't really even care of it's bad for me, it tastes horrible! I refuse to drink another drop!"

"But Naruto," Kakashi said, "the Yondaime, Sandaime, and Nidaime all did it with their teams!"
