"Seriously though, you're the seal expert here," Kakashi said. "What do you need us to do?"
Naruto looked up at him from under his eyelashes to see if he was really serious. It appeared he was.
"Well," Naruto hesitated, nervous now that they all were looking at him. "What would really help? If you could somehow figure out how big the reservoir needs to be, and start digging it."
"Sure," Kakashi agreed easily. So as Naruto pulled out his giant scroll filled with inscrutably obscure notes, Kakashi sat down for some calculations of his own. As he wrote out all of the information he had on the spring thaw, he noted Sasuke idly sharpening and cleaning his kunai and shuriken and Sakuraà hovering over his shoulder.
"Carry the three, Kakashi-sensei," she said patiently. He looked down at his equation and realized she was right. A few seconds later, she spoke up again.
"You forgot an 'X' Kaka-sensei," she corrected him. Kakashi grit his teeth and added the 'X' where she'd pointedùafter looking back over his work for a few moments and seeing she was right. Again.
"Kaka-sensei, you need to factor it toà"
Kakashi tossed the scroll at her and plopped down next to Sasuke.
"So," he said. "You come up with a way to make me feel inadequate and completely superfluous today, too?"
"Well," Sasuke said, never looking away from his kunai. "I could show you my two Sharingan eyes if you really want."
Then Sasuke was falling ass over teakettle into a stack of sandbags, and Kakashi was stretching out like a cat on top of the large pile, Icha Icha Paradise in hand as he proceeded to ignore his entire team.
