"And where were you this morning?"

"I can't take you serious in your apron. Not this early" you snorted at the sight of an annoyed Kakashi leaning in the doorway of the kitchen, you were about to enter.

"(y/n), you have been sneaking out every morning. Where do you go?" he asked serious.

"I have taken up the habit of running in the mornings. So next time I don't get my ass kicked by rulebook Ebisu" you snorted stepping close to him and looking up with a devious smirk. "Got a problem with that sensei?" you purred while your finger tapped his chest. His visible eye narrowed on your finger, slowly going to your challenging eyes.

"Not really" he grinned under his mask, his arms wrapping around your back, trapping you against his body. "But if you overtook me it would trouble me" he purred swaying you with him.

"I will overtake anyone I have met" you mused, "and everyone I will meet". With a squeal you were dropped and barely caught. You glowered playfully up at the chuckling silver haired man.

"You still have a long way to go" he mused.

"That's cause you drop my guard" you said, punching his chest lightly. He chuckled and pulled you back up.

"Do I?" his eyes twinkled.

A harsh punch into the stomach send him flying back against the wall. You blew the top of your knuckles with a grin. "I also drop yours".

He groaned as he slowly got up. "Since when do you punch so hard?"

"Since I can punch hard. I regained my chakra control" you mused and stalked over to him. His muscles tensed to brace for another hit but you surprised him with a kiss on his nose. "Thank you for making breakfast" you said before dropping down and digging into the food. He blinked, chuckling as he took a seat as well. "You are welcome".

"So today you will be training the team again?" you questioned looking up. Kakashi nodded, his lazy eye focused on the food. "How is it going?"

"They all have reached the level of walking up trees".

"That doesn't mean much, I learned walking on water first" you huffed, "so can they walk on water?" he shook his head.

"I think they are on a level I can propose their participation in the Chunin exam". You blinked in surprise, "serious? Aren't you projecting your own achievements on them, mister Chunin at age 6" you snorted. He looked up with a deadpan look, making you sigh. "I think better of you than that don't worry" you waved him off.

"Mind if I train the girl?"

Kakashi's head snapped up in curiosity and shock.

"Where did that come from?" he arched a brow.

"Unlike the other two, she doesn't have any head start from birth, I'd like her to get the attention she needs to be a good Kunoichi" you shrugged, picking up the empty plate and cleaning it at the sink. "Do you doubt-"

"You know I don't doubt your training capabilities" you interrupted looking over your shoulder, "but I also think you don't know what it's like to start form zero".

"Says the woman with the white eyes" he retorted. "It gives me better sensing capabilities. It's not like the byakugan which can see the chakra veins or how Sharingan enhances genjutsu for example. It's just a wide area of seeing" you crossed your arms, looking at the silver haired male.

He stared back for a while. You didn't drop your gaze until he sighed resigned. "Come with me today. You can train with Sakura while I handle the boys". A grin appeared on your lips as you skipped over and kissed his masked mouth. "Thank you" you purred, taking his plate, turning back to the sink.

A pair of warm arms wrapped around your waist. Heat rushed from there to your cheeks, painting it in a light shade of red. Your white eyes glanced over at the lazy coal eye of the Jonin. His knees slightly bent and his back curved to match your height.

"Your hair has grown" he muttered, one hand releasing your waist and gently taking a strand. "It's been a few weeks" you murmured turning back to cleaning the dishes. Kakashi let the strand go and returned his arm around your waist, squeezing lightly. "Still no memories of how you died?" he questioned, "or revived?" you shook your head. "I have spoken to Kuro yesterday. He told me what he had told me since the beginning. I appeared and Master had taken me in, fixing my arm" you sighed and put the clean plates on the dry rack. "I told you already, I will tell you when I know more". Kakashi seemed to think over something before letting out a sigh. "What?" you frowned, turning in his arms to look up at him.

"You tell less than you think you do" he said, one hand moving up your spine causing shivers to run through your body.

"That's what you think" you retorted, ignoring the pleasant feeling.

His eye softened, "you always were stubborn".

"Takes one, to know another" you grinned. He shook his head and let your body go. A feeling of loss fleeting in your body for a mere moment.

"You were the only person I could not handle". You arched a brow, "you seem to handle me fine though".

He shook his head, "not as fine as I'd like to have it".

You rolled your eyes and pushed his chest so he was trapped between you and the bar structure. "Again, that is what you think" you whispered, your eyes twinkling with mischief, "but you have more a grip on me than you'd like to believe it seems".

The man looked sceptically back. Your cheeks puffed into a pout, "bakakashi" you grunted before pulling his mask down with one hand while the other pulled his collar towards you.

Lips collided with a fiery passion, a sense of relieve filling every nerve. Feet stepping closer to each other and arms wrapping around the body. A fleeting moment of pure bliss, cut short by you pushing away with a knowing grin. "We are already late, let's go" you announced. Kakashi sighed, disappointed with your decision of caring about the time now, but didn't protest as he turned to the door. A devious smirk painted your lips. You smacked his firm ass, gaining a surprised grunt and a glare while your dashed out of the door. Your recuperated stamina and the head start were enough to reach the training grounds first. A sight of Naruto having a one-sided bicker with Sasuke did not surprise you one bit.

Silently you crept over to the glaring Sakura, earning a gasp from the startled pinkette. Naruto paused his bickering to turn and yell indignantly. Sasuke merely glanced over for a moment. "Don't scare Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled flailing his fist in the air. You chuckled, "I merely snuck up behind her. A shinobi should be prepared for everything" you mused, standing straight. Sakura turned to Naruto and waved him off before standing up. "Is Kakashi sensei coming?" she questioned, seeming to ignore the scare you gave her. Something in her eyes told your different though, she was pissed off. With a small chuckle you turned to the direction you came from. "He's not far behind me. I overtook him" you mused. They all turned to you with a shocked expression, with Naruto yelling "Eeeeh!?"

"Don't lie to my pupils (y/n)" Kakashi sighed, appearing behind you. You smirked, straining your neck to look up at him without turning around. "Okay, I left you in the dust" you teased. Kakashi rolled his eyes and turned to his team.

"Today, (y/n) will take Sakura to train" Kakashi announced definite. Naruto eyed Kakashi and then glared at Sasuke, "I have to train Alone with HIM?" he yelled, obviously not happy with that. Sakura on the other hand looked slightly disappointed at Sasuke before turning to you with curiosity and confusion. "Why am I going to train with someone else?" Sakura questioned, not looking away. "Since I asked him" you chimed, looking at Kakashi who was about to answer her. "I think some individual training with me will do you good" you said turning to Sakura. She looked uncertain from Kakashi to her teammates and back to you. "Don't worry, I won't bite you" you said, eyeing Kakashi from the corner of your eyes. "Just him".

Kakashi got a coughing fit in surprise while Naruto fell down to the ground laughing at Kakashi's reaction. Sakura gave a nervous chuckle. "Let's go. We can't train under the eyes of those men" you mused patting Sakura's back. With one last look at her teammates she followed after you, disappearing through the trees.

When you deemed you were far enough from the others to not be bothered by their noise, especially Naruto's yelling, you stopped. Eyeing the surrounding you nodded in approval. It was a small grass field with several tree stumps spread over it. The tree line surrounding it was thick enough to hide the 3rd tree line. "Uhm, what will we be training on?" Sakura asked hesitantly, not knowing what to expect from you.

"Since you are good at controlling chakra I'd like to teach you to sense your surroundings" you turned to her with a smile. Her eyes grew wide, "sense your surroundings? At the last mission I was pretty good at that" she said with a small smile, getting a bit more confident knowing it wasn't any weird overpowered training. "That's nice. Well then you have sensory instinct, that's important for a ninja to have. Of course. But sensing with chakra is on a whole different level" you mused crossing your arms. Sakura's eyes lit up at those words and her ears were strained to take in as much information as she could get. A very nice attitude to work with.

"Sensing with chakra allows you to consciously notice things in a greater area. The span of the area depends on the quantity of chakra and the amount of control you have on it. I have a radius of 3 kilometre unconsciously, 4 if I concentrate hard enough".

Sakura's eyes grew wide, "how come you are able to sense that far? I thought only byakugan and sharingan had such ability". You waved your hand dismissively, "they just have an advantage. Not that I'm one to talk since I have one too. But every ninja with decent control of chakra is able to do it. It just takes a lot of practice. Which we will do all day. We will practice chakra control and taijutsu. This way your mind will have a rest while your body gets to work. We won't be holding any breaks besides lunch and snack-time. I decide when those are. Clear?" your voice was like that of a general but Sakura was too excited about the new things she would learn to feel intimidated. "Clear!" she chirped.
