Summary:

A weight dropped on top of Kakashi and he let out an indignant squawk, struggling to roll over as his hitai-ate fell down over his eyes. “Ow, Naruto—”

“Wait!” Naruto screeched. “Gai-sensei—"

Kakashi’s heart sank as Gai’s raucous laughter filled the air. Taking a deep breath, he braced himself.

A second body slammed down on top of Kakashi, and he let out a grunt as all the air was driven from his lungs. Pinned and completely blinded by his forehead protector, Kakashi felt his two assailants flail about. In the midst of the chaos, an elbow found Kakashi’s ribs, and he let out a sound somewhere between a cough and a groan.

“Now, now, please don’t squish the Hokage.” Iruka’s voice sounded light, and Kakashi turned his head in the chunin Headmaster’s direction, scrunching his nose.
