37. Behind Kakashi's Mask. (Part 1)

Shizukana's P.O.V.

A week has passed since Kakashi Sensei and Sasuke's recovery and they refused to stay hospitalized. So here we are, doing D rank missions.

Lady Tsunade was appointed as Hokage and everyone went back to their daily lives. But there was this feeling hanging around in the air. Many people try to ignore it but they know its there.

Just like the old times, we went on missions, mainly D-rank, and trained. Naruto being goofy as usual and Sasuke being the emo he is. Sensei kept his nose buried in his little book. This was what I missed.

"Okay team. That's it for today." Sensei said giving us a thumbs up. We had just finished two D-rank missions. The first one was weeding an entire field. We were careful not to rip the important plants out, but that made it even harder. Naruto screwed it. The second one was painting the walls of the Daiymo's grand house. The walls were 8 feet tall and they covered over 2 acres of land. Surprisingly we weren't covered in paint. Maybe just a few drops here and there. Naruto didn't mess this up. Well, considering his experience with paint.

"Finally. That was very boring." Naruto said. He was jumpy as usual but you could see the boredom on his face.

Sensei just gave us a smile before puffing away. I sighed before facing Naruto. He seemed to be coming up with a plan.

"I'm leaving," Sasuke said walking away.

"Hey, I know what we can do." But Sasuke just ignored him. "Ever wonder what's under Sensei's mask?" As soon as he said that, Sasuke stumbled in his step. I looked at Naruto with curiosity. Is this what he thinks all day?

Sasuke just looked at Naruto's direction but then turned away. This caused Naruto to smirk.

"What if he has huge buck teeth?" Naruto said wiggling his eyebrows. I watched in amusement as Sasuke's walls crumbled piece by piece. "Maybe, he has blimp lips?" Naruto said as I imagined Sensei with huge lips.

I covered my mouth as I laughed. Sasuke stopped walking. Just one more Naruto. You're so close to cracking him.

"I know, he must have so small lips that he has to cover them," Naruto whispered towards Sasuke.

And he broke. Sasuke snapped his neck towards Naruto then looked at me. I just gave him a cheeky smile. He sighed in defeat. "And how are you planning on doing that?" Sasuke asked and Naruto struck a weird pose.

"Just leave it to me." He said. He started walking and Sasuke and I followed him.

Timeskip...

So this was his plan. We are currently at Ichiraku Ramen store. We took seats and watched as Sensei took a seat.

Naruto sat on the right side of Sensei and Sasuke next to Naruto while I sat in the left side of Sensei. Kakashi Sensei gave us suspicious looks and eyed his bowl of ramen.

"So, why treat me to ramen?" Sensei asked. He looked around in suspicion.

"Oh. Well, we just thought that we would do this as a thank you." Naruto said. Sensei nodded but then looked at me and Sasuke. Both of us smiled sweetly.

Naruto and Sasuke started eating their ramen so they won't make Sebsei more suspicious. Sensei looked at me and noticed that I wasn't having anything.

"Shizukana, aren't you gonna eat anything?" He asked me.

I looked at him and shook my head. "No, I have this pet peeve about eating main courses at restaurants," I explained. Sensei hummed before reaching for a pair of chopsticks.
