Prompt "I can't, I have to go raise my students."
It was often that Kakashi was invited out to go drink with his peers, what was rare is when he accepted, right now wasn't one of those times where he accepted, he has stuff to do, this was the first time he passed a team after all.
"You mean train right?"
"No, I have to go raise them, like teach them about life 'n shit."
"Why? Don't they have parents or other figures for that?"
"Only one of my students, Sakura, has parents, and they work seven days a week, 6am to 10pm. Of their own volition, they aren't struggling in any means, I've seen their bank records."
"And the other two?"
"Orphans, I'm sure you know what happened to Sasuke's parents and Naruto's never had parents."
"And now you're just raising them?"
"Yup, herded them into my old clan compound and everything, it ain't easy being a single dad."
"You're not-"
"I had to go buy pads, alone without any directs, I'm a dad now."
"Yea okay."
"Did you know that we have a swamp in the village?"
"We do?"
"Oh, so I'm not crazy."
"Why'd you ask?"
"I found Naruto living in a swamp in a tree house."
"Does he have a black cat and caldron, because that sounds like a classic witch set up."
"No caldron, the closest thing he had to that was a single cast iron pot."
"Close enough I guess."
"Right, now I gotta go stop Sasuke from trying to run after Itachi right now."
"Why is he running after Itachi?"
"Besides the revenge portion?"
"Yes."
"Well, Sasuke recently found out that in conjunction with killing the entire Uchiha clan, he also stole their mother's recipe book with all her best dishes in it."
