Kakashi and Sasuke glanced at each other across the table.
"You don't suppose..." began Sasuke.
"She's going to try and steal the ring? Oh, I'm certain of it," said Kakashi.
Fzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap! "AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"So why is Naruto sleeping late?" asked Sasuke, not bothering to ask why Kakashi was letting him.
"One more try!" said Sakura from Naruto's room. Ka-WHAM!
"I'm glad his anti-theft protocols include nonlethal methods," said Kakashi with a glance in the direction of where Naruto was sleeping.
The door flew open, followed by Sakura running out with a glowing blue mallet adorned with lettering that read "5 tons" that was not only following her but taking frequent swings at her.
"Hnn," said Sasuke, accepting a cup of tea from Inari's mother as the chase scene continued through the kitchen.
"As to your question, you know the phrase 'he could do that in his sleep'?" asked Kakashi.
Sasuke nodded.
"Well, Naruto's gotten to that point," said Kakashi. "He finally stopped making shadow clones around 3am."
"You suppose the enemy nin just got tired of killing them?" asked Sasuke.
"Something like that," admitted Kakashi.
"So you didn't find the enemy ninja yesterday?" asked Sasuke.
"Oh, I did," said Kakashi. "He was having such fun killing Naruto's shadow clones that I almost felt guilty about interrupting. He brought Sakura's chopped-off head back to his hideout and was bragging to someone about how he'd finally gotten the real one."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow and looked back at where the hammer was still chasing Sakura around a coffeetable. "Do tell."
"At which point Sakura's head began singing 'Deadman's Party' - and doing a pretty good job of the song until Zabuza started having a nervous breakdown," said Kakashi.
Sasuke put down his empty cup. "Really?"
"I've never seen an S-Class Missing Nin go into a literally frothing murderous rage and then just collapse and start crying before," admitted Kakashi. "It was quite disturbing."
Sakura collapsed on the floor, wheezing and panting. The hammer seemed to consider pounding her for a moment, then simply dissipated.
"So what did you do?" asked Sasuke.
"I couldn't resist, I appeared, told him that I'd already run into Gato. He made the mistake of ordering his men to kill me." Kakashi shrugged. "Once Zabuza found out that his boss was dead, he just started twitching a lot."
"I see," said Sasuke.
"More tea anyone?" asked Tsunami.
"So, basically, Naruto's reputation as the number one unpredictable annoying ninja of the Leaf continues," said Kakashi.
"Hn," agreed Sasuke.
"B-b-but you can't beat Gato," said Inari, who'd been quietly freaking out while watching all those copies of the same ninja go running around. "He's too strong."
"No, he just had some low level mercenaries for the most part," corrected Kakashi. "Gato himself wasn't much of anything. I would have left him alone, but he attacked me and that really isn't a good policy to encourage."
"Bu-wha?" asked Inari as he tried to wrap his worldview around this information.
"Oh, and I saw a 'Waffle Haus' nearby," said Kakashi. "After I start you on training, I may have to swing by there. I haven't had waffles in years."
