Tears. There were tears falling down the kids face and Kakashi was even more confussed by his words.

Tsunade should be here.

I’ve waited so long.

None of it made any sense.

“Go,” he waved the anbu guard away, glaring when they didn’t immediately turn around and leave. “I do not need your company taking care of this.”

“But, Lord sixth-“

“No,” he waved them away “out.”

There was a huff but then the operative was gone. kakashi had no doubt they would be complaining about him in the Anbu locker room later, but he didn’t care all that much.

It was healthy to vent about things. Even if those ‘things’ were their Hokage.

Using a small stack of reports, Kakashi fanned himself in a desperate attempt for a few seconds of relief from the sweltering heat.

“I don’t recall it ever being this bad in here,” he grumbled under his breath, wondering if he’d just been gone during the hotter days and missed this new form of self torture until now, or if the world was punishing him in a new and interesting way. “I’m going to need to redirect resources here for a while.”

“Gai and Yamato are my best friends,” Kakashi corrected Obito as he sorted out some paper that he’s knocked over. “Though, You are my friend and you can trust me, yes. As long as you haven’t tried to murder someone… again.”

Kakashi wasn’t really sure what to expect when Mifune handed him an envelope, but a trip to a dog-centric amusement park was not it.

“You’re spoiling me,” he accused Mifune, though there was no annoyance in his voice. If anything he sounded excited. “And the dogs.”

“The dog’s deserve to be spoiled,” His father laughed as he walked past him, making sure to ruffle his hair before he claimed the seat beside Mifune and settled in. “Especially Pakkun.”

“Pakkun gets spoiled the most out of all of them,” Kakashi objected. “But… thank you. We’re going to have a blast.”

Kakashi reacts without though, placing himself directly in front of Sasuke so that when he falls he lands against his back.

Kakashi’s in the middle of putting together Bull’s costume when Kabuto shows up full of judgement and lies.

“Come on,” The three year old poked Shikaku in the side, trying desperately to get his attention. “Play with me.”
