He ran as fast and as hard as he could, making sharp turns and cuts around every corner to lose the other that was chasing him. If he let Iruka catch him now, he would surely make him stay in the village. If that happened, he would definitely be shipped off to war tomorrow morning. “JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!” he yelled hysterically, knocking over a trash can to stall the other.
Iruka, thankfully, was faster than the child. He was able to leap over the trash can without little trouble, though taking the sharp corners and dodging the people on the street was costing him time, and gaining spectators form the crowd. Kakashi was a full-fledged shinobi now; this was too public of a place for a breakdown. The civilians were already on edge, and watching one of their soldiers, a child, break under the pressure was bad for the already low morale.
The chuunin held fast to the back of the child’s uniform, speaking in a low and dangerous tone so as not to draw more attention to the scene they had already made. “Hatake Kakashi, you are going to stop screaming and come back to the classroom with me, or I will hog tie you and drop you in the Hokage’s office myself.”
