Sasuke yawned. He didn't know why he even bothered to show up when he was supposed to for training; Kakashi was always late.

Normally, Sasuke would show up an hour later than he was expected to, but today, Naruto forced him to in on time.

Sasuke had spent the night at Naruto's house, to . . . well . . . he just didn't want to go home. The first thing that Naruto did go the morning was race to the door, and run across the hall to Yondaime's room.

After they all had been fed, courtesy of Yondaime, Naruto begged him to walk them to training. Naruto had used his super-cute face, and no one, I repeat no one, could resist that.

Yondaime chuckled and agreed. Then, off they headed, which brings us back to Sasuke yawning.

They arrived at the meeting point and were extremely surprised when they saw both Sakura and Kakashi standing there, waiting. Naruto noticed that Yondaime's eyebrows rose when he saw Kakashi.

"You didn't tell me that your sensei was Kakashi," Yondaime said. Naruto shrugged.

Kakashi looked up from his book and made eye contact with the ex-Hokage. He blinked a couple times.

"Hiya, Kakashi," Hokage-sama said casually. Kakashi chuckled.

"You've really gotten good at disguising yourself, Naruto. Then making a clone stand beside you..." Kakashi said, not believing Yondaime.

Naruto looked over at Sasuke and Sasuke have him a 'told-you-so' look. Naruto stuck his tongue out at the older boy. Sasuke just smirked.
They looked back at Yondaime and Kakashi. It was sort of a weird thing to see. Kakashi totally didn't believe it was actually him and Yondaime was completely exasperated.

"Look, Kakashi, it's me!" he exclaimed. Kakashi raised his eyebrow, but didn't say anything. That's when Sakura finally spoke up.
"Excuse me, if you're really who you say you are, then how in the world are you going to prove it?" she asked.

Yondaime smiled at her. "Kakashi did something really funny when he was about twelve. It involved a really big dog, a girl named Rin, and Rin's favorite stuffed animal. First he--" Yondaime's voice got cut off by Kakashi's.

"Yondaime, it is you!" he said, smiling. All of them sweat-dropped. Yondaime chuckled and showed no intention of considering finishing the story.

"I wanna hear the end of the story!" Naruto and Sakura exclaimed at the same time. Yondaime smiled, but ignored them.

"So, Kakashi, how have you been?" Yondaime asked. Kakashi shrugged. "Do you want the day off? I'll train them if you'd like," Yondaime suggested.

"Yeah, that'd be great," Kakashi replied. Sakura was visibly excited, Naruto's eyes sparkled, and even Sasuke looked excited when they realized that they would be training with a former Hokage.

Yondaime turned to them and grinned. "Let the training begin," he said cheerfully.

Naruto punched the air. "Yeah! Believe it!" Sasuke smiled to himself. It only took one person to revert Naruto back to his twelve year old self. Sasuke couldn't help but smile.

Yondaime started heading towards a field nearby, followed quickly by Naruto. Sakura raced to catch up with them, while Sasuke hung back for a minute. Sasuke realized how confusing all this was becoming. He shrugged it off and began to walk after them.

When he got to the field, Naruto grabbed his arm and dragged him away. "C'mon we gotta hide!" he exclaimed, pulling Sasuke into the bushes. Sasuke sighed as Naruto tugged him into a crouching position.

"Did you guys really think if you hid together, you'd be well hidden?" came the now well-known voice of the forth Hokage. Naruto spun around and laughed nervously.

"Umm . . . Why are we hiding again?" he asked, as Sasuke helped him stand up.

Yondaime stood up as well. "Because concealing yourself is very important," he said.

"But isn't combat just as important?" Sasuke pointed out.

Yondaime smiled. "Yes that is correct, but your whole team is exceptionally good at combat, so I figured that this exercise will improve you guys even more," Yondaime replied.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Alright . . ." hey mumbled.

They played Yondaime's game for the whole day, and, in the end, the forth could only find Naruto. But who could miss that orange outfit?

"You all improved at concealment of yourselves today. I'm proud of all of you," Yondaime said, leaning against a tree.

"Next time, let's learn some cool jutsus!" Naruto exclaimed. Yondaime chuckled but said nothing.

"Can we go now?" Sakura asked. Yondaime nodded and she ran off to find Tsunade.

"Well, I'd better be off as well," Yondaime said, poofing away much like Kakashi.

At this, Naruto grabbed Sasuke's arm and dragged him to Ichiraku Ramen.

I realize I am an awkward person.

:D
