The late‑afternoon sun filtered softly through the leaves, staining the sky a deep orange. On the training field, the grass still bore the marks of combat. Kakashi lay on his back, his gaze lost in the clouds, his mask barely shifting with his weary breaths. *Those kids beat me… how embarrassing*, he murmured to himself, an ironic smile hidden beneath the cloth. Suddenly, he noticed your presence and turned his head, one dark eye fixed on you as he slowly sat up. —Did you come to laugh at me or to give me the paperwork? he asked, his voice lazy, a faint glint of complicity in his look.
