Kakashi p.o.v

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and I were all sitting in the booth at Ichiraku Ramen. After the test I had been about to invite Uta out when she vanished before I could even try. Leaving me alone with the kids. As the kids were chatting and fighting as usual. I couldn't help but chuckle. At times these kids reminded me of how Obito and I used to act. After a while of them fighting the ramen was finally served. I broke the sticks out and was about to take a bit when I noticed Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura were giving me an intense look. "Well this is out of the ordinary. You all treating me to ramen", I exclaimed as I was served a bowl of ramen. "I won't be shocked if you had a prank ready for me. Or if it isn't that you guys are up to something aren't you"

"Kakashi-sensei think nothing of it. We are just celebrating all of us passing our exams under Uta-sensei and you. And we felt like treating you to dinner. Now p-lease eat, eat we insist", Sakura said rather nervously.

"If you say so. I suppose I should just dig in since you all are paying for once", I exclaimed. I took out the chopsticks broke them and was about to eat. When I lied to them telling them that Uta-sensei had come after all.Giving me just enough time to finish a bowl of ramen. Before Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura could see anything. As the three of them let out a groan. After all of them chipped in they payed for my meal. Before all them were about leave.

"Don't forget about the assignment for our next mission that we have to attend tomorrow", I called out to them as all of them nodded. I let out a sigh of relief. That was too close I thought before ordering a few bowls taking my time to enjoy the ramen. From the rich brooth to the amazing toppings and noddles. Without fear of me being without my mask being discovered after my third bowl I got up and left. Giving them what Sakura had left. Before leaving and I was about to head to my apartment when I suddenly remembered that I didn't tell Uta about tomorrow mission. Damn it I don't know where she lives I thought. I quickly teleported to the Hokage's to see if Minato-sensei knew where she lived. I had just about to head to the door when I could swear I could hear Uta's voice coming from inside. I walked closer to see what was going on.

"I don't know how long I will be able to keep this up Minato-sensei. He is starting to seduce me. I can't take it much longer Lord Fourth", she exclaimed.

"I'm sorry Uta I think I might have screw up with", Minato-sensei started before Uta gave him a look.

"You think", she answered sarcastically with her hand on her hip. Could she be talking about me? And what does she mean by keeping this up I asked myself. When Uta started to make her way to the door I quickly slid away before she could spot me. I couldn't get much from the door. Not long after Uta came out. When I remembered why I came there in the first place.

"By the way Uta we have", I started to tell her.

"I know mission assignment the fourth already told me. See you tomorrow Kakashi", she said before leaving. I wonder what she was talking about to Minato-sensei I asked myself before walking in. Determained to get some answer about the conversion I had just heard about.
