38. Behind Kakashi's Mask (part 2)

Shizukana's P.O.V.

I am currently walking towards Ichiraku Ramen. Team 7's designated meeting spot for the next mission.

Naruto and Sasuke haven't still gotten over Sensei's mask and they keep bothering me, asking me to tell them. It's not like I can't tell them, it's just that I won't. Like to tease them.

"Hey. Over here." I heard a voice. I turned around to find Sasuke, Naruto and Sensei already standing near Ichiraku. I waved my hand and jogged over to them.

Naruto smiled at me while Sasuke just nodded his head. I looked at Sensei and felt myself blush but not so much. Just enough to give a light tinge on my face. This caused Naruto and Sasuke to glare at Sensei. Sensei just shrugged it off.

"Alright. Now that everyone is here, let's go over today's plan." Sensei said attracting our attention. "We have been called to work at Kentsuki-San's farm. Its a bit far from here but we will be able to reach there within 3 hours and finish our work in 5 hours. So we'll be back by the end of the day." Sensei finished making us all nod.

The farm was located just outside the village. Just maybe 5 miles away from the walls so we decided to take our time since it was only 9 am. Naruto was rambling on about something while Sensei attentively listened. Sasuke stuck in the back also listening to Naruto but not as attentively as Sensei was. I walked in the front while just looking around and catching snippets of Naruto's conversation.

We walked for around an hour and a half before we came across a hot spring. And everyone decided to take a small break. Sasuke and Naruto came up with this idea, so I'm guessing they still haven't gotten over Sensei's mask.

We walked in and they went into the male section while I hung around in the lobby. I'm not stepping into a pool full of naked women. Even though I've gotten used to some of the customs here, I still follow the lifestyle of my previous life. Like having tea at 4 pm and forgetting to eat. Yeah, we Brits were different than the Yankee's

It was kinda boring so I decided to read a scroll which I packed. I always carry something to read. Always. So that's what I did. I read on different types of poison found in the land of Grass. It was fine until three men in grey ninja clothing rushed past the lobby.

To be honest, they didn't look very dangerous but they did look suspicious. I just brushed them off. I continued to read my scroll. The Land of Grass has one of the biggest ranges of poison and well that's interesting. There are some varieties of poisons in Konoha but they are hard to find even though Konoha is 20 per cent green.

As I was reading, I felt someone staring at me. I looked from my scroll to find an old lady looking at me. When we made eye contact she looked away. I continued to look at her and she smiled at me. I gave her a bright smile and looked back to my scroll.

"Shizukana." I heard someone call my name. I looked at the source to find Sasuke standing near the door. "Come." He said. I nodded and stood up. I smiled at the old lady and followed Sasuke while pocketing my scroll.

We walked into a secluded room where Sensei and Naruto were seated next to a table filled with food. I looked at Naruto and he was grinning at Sensei. Kakashi Sensei on the other was staring at the design on the plate. Who arranged this?

Sasuke sat on one side of the table and I also took my seat. It was quiet until Naruto spoke. "So Sensei. Why don't you start first." Naruto said looking at Sensei with determination.

But before Sensei could respond, Naruto grabbed the jar of water and yeeted it towards Sensei. I widened my eyes as Sensei grabbed the table and used it as a shield to cover his face. Everything on the table was sent flying into the air. The plates broke and the food was splatter all across the floor.
