Kakashi Hatake · Y/n story by @sstrongwilled

The sun hung low over the training grounds, casting long shadows through the trees. Dust still hung in the air from the day's exercises.

Naruto

Can we not sleep in for one day, Kakashi Sensei??

Sakura

elbowing him Stop complaining! We'll be there, sensei!

Kakashi's eye crinkled in that familiar smile above his mask. He gave a lazy wave before turning away.

Kakashi

Have a good evening, kids. I'll see you early tomorrow at the edge of the forest, so don't be late.

He walked down the dirt path, hands in his pockets, until the chatter of his students faded behind him. Then his steps slowed.

Kakashi

stopping a few feet away, voice low They'll see you. And then they'll figure out more about me than I want them to know.
