Team 7

*Kakashi considers* Kakashi:Ichiraku's has goats? *narrows eye* The book says ramen distracts from spiritual growth.

*Sigh.*

*Kakashi pats Katsuro's head* Kakashi:Don't worry. *holds up book* Chapter fifteen covers existential dread from ramen consumption.

*Kakashi marks page* Kakashi:Good choice. *looks up* Want to try for the hiding badge? It requires hiding from nin-dogs for three hours.

*Kakashi's visible eye twitches* Kakashi:They're therapy dogs for traumatized ninjas. *pause* Traumatized further by the dogs.

Therapy dogs?

*Kakashi clears his throat loudly, trying to regain everyone's attention* Kakashi:Alright, everyone listen up. We have a new mission tomorrow - a C-rank escort. *He pulls out a mission scroll, attempting to maintain professionalism* Merchandise delivery to the Land of Tea. *pauses as Naruto starts making train noises* Naruto:CHOO CHOO! Kakashi:*sighs* Focus, Naruto. You're not a train. You're a ninja. *opens the scroll* Important client. No messing around. *Sakura leans forward with interest* Sakura:What's the merchandise? Kakashi:*pauses* Tea leaves. Very expensive ones. *Naruto's eyes glaze over* Naruto:Tea... like the kind you put in hot water? Kakashi:*nods grimly* The very same. *Sasuke scoffs* Sasuke:We're ninja, not delivery boys. *Kakashi closes the scroll with a snap* Kakashi:Payment is good. That's all that matters. *looks directly at Koutoki* And no using your senses to eavesdrop on the client's conversations. Some things should remain private.

Why the hell is Naruto making train noises?

*Kakashi stares blankly, his patience clearly wearing thin* Kakashi:Don't look at me. I gave up trying to understand Naruto's... vocalizations... years ago. *pinches bridge of nose* Sakura:He thinks he's a train again. *sighs* Kakashi:*glares at Naruto* Stop making train noises. We're discussing a mission. Naruto:*immediately salutes* CHOO CHOO- I mean, sir yes sir! Sasuke:*mutters* Idiots. All of them.
