Time Sure Does Fly...

[Ramen Reply]

Rin got down on her hands and knees and crawled after the slug head towards the window watching its every move, accidentally bumping her forehead hard on the wall due to her concentration. She sat up quickly and covered the bump with her hands, kicked her legs saying, "Ow!" A few moments later her stomach rumbled. She stood up and walked out of Naruto's office and toddled down the stairs and stepped outside the front door walking into the village. Rin wandered around for quite some time in the deserted area until she came upon the Ichiraku Ramen Bar. Struggling to climb up onto one of the seats,Rin grabbed the edge of the counter, her feet dangling in the air. "One ginormous Ramen bowl pwease.." she stated. The cook served Rin her order and she ate it gratefully. When the cook asked if she could pay, the little girl hopped off the stool and walked off..The cook began to chase her. "Come back here you little thief!" he yelled.

"Don't worry. I have it covered," a voice said. From out of the shadows came a man with white hair and a dark blue mask covering his lower face. His left eye was concealed by his headband. He handed the server the amount of ryō the ramen cost. "Oh, and by the way, I guess you didn't recognize that she is my goddaughter, and the youngest daughter of the Hokage."
Kakashi looked around and noticed a young man walk out of the prison after carrying a man in. "You know, you should stop pretending to be someone you're not. After all, I know for a fact that you're not part of the ANBU, nor are you part of the Konoha Police Force."

[Inferuno]

Inferuno freezes once he hears Kakashi's voice behind him. "Hey, I was on a contract." He then crosses his arms and leans against a wall.

[Kaen Uchiha]

"Doesn't matter. And you'd do well to listen to me; I don't care if you're a chūnin or not. I'm a jōnin, which means I outrank you. And generally we don't give missions of capturing criminals out; that's up to the ANBU," Kakashi retorted, looking at the chūnin with disinterest.
He gave a cursory glance to the girl. "Not right now Rin. I have a chūnin who needs to be reminded of the roles around here."

[Inferuno]

Inferuno pulls out a sack with the bounty from the contract and drops it in Kakashi's hand. "Then I think it's time you put tighter regulations on the contract givers." He continues to lean against the wall.

The cook took the money in his hand and began walking back to his shop. "Just like her father.." he grumbled. Rin stared up at the strange ninja and ran back to her father's office slamming the large doors shut and pressed her tiny body against the panels,panting. "Daddy! A scary ninja followed me!" She turned and bent down peering under the door crack to see if Kakashi was following her then she turned back to Naruto, shaking a little.

[Kaen Uchiha]

"That doesn't matter. As a chūnin you should know by now that you aren't authorized to accept such missions. How you managed to pass the Chūnin Exam is a mystery to me. Genin are made chūnin based on leadership ability and overall ability as a ninja. As well as common sense and strategy. You seem to be lacking in some of those areas," Kakashi remarked. He walked toward the chūnin, disinterest in his gaze.

Naruto looked at Rin, bemused. "Who is it Rin? What did he look like?"

[Rin]

"He..he looked like a scarecrow.." she said, still standing by the door. A crow cawed outside the office on the roof which startled her causing Rin to run and hide under her father's desk..

[Inferuno]

Inferuno then takes his headband off. "Then I guess you'll be wanting this." He holds it out.

[Kaen Uchiha]

Kakashi simply shakes his head. "The chūnin isn't marked by his headband. That's given after graduating from the Academy. The chūnin is marked by that flak jacket you're wearing. But a little tip. Just because I'm surprised you became a chūnin doesn't mean you should give up being one.
"Tell you what; I'm in need of new students. Come train with me, and we'll work on your chūnin aspects," the jōnin said.

Naruto chuckled. "That's your godfather and my sensei, Kakashi."

[Inferuno]

Inferuno then puts the headband back on. "Alright then. I'll be your student." He stops leaning against the wall.

[Rin]

"Oh.." she said crawling out from under the desk. She got up and ran back outside. "Kashi sensei!" she called out overhearing him talk with Inferuno. "Can I come too? pwease?" she asked looking up at Kakashi. "I'm strong!" she said kicking Inferuno hard in the shin. "See?"

[Inferuno]

Inferuno grabs the kicked shin. "Ow!" He hops up and down on one leg.

[Rin Reply]

Rin turned her heas to see Inferuno hopping up and down, she closed her eyes turning her body away slightly. "Besides..he's a wimp." she stated.

[Kaen Uchiha]

"Sorry Rin. But I technically can't take you as a student until you graduate from the Academy. And you haven't even entered the Academy yet, so that's a moot point," Kakashi stated to the young girl. He looked to the chūnin, his visible eye expressionless. "Sorry about her... she's a lot like her father. Very... unpredictable."

Lily looked to Bella, upset. "I really hope Kaen will be okay."

Kaen looked up at his parents, a tired smile on his face. "Man... Amaterasu really takes a lot of chakra."
"Just be sure you don't use the Mangekyo Sharingan often. It'll gradually blind you the more you use it," Sakura stated. She turned her gaze to Sasuke. "Let's go, he needs rest. And we should lock the door on our way out. We don't need Itachi or Karasu bothering him."
