Kakashi! and Baki?

Shisui turned to see two familiar people "Uncle! Baki-Sensei! Hey, how are you two doing!", he exclaimed as he turned to meet his uncle and Sensei again after that one, long month.

"I'm good.''says Kakashi.

"I'm doing fine as well...", Baki sighed. Then, uncharacteristically, Kakashi sighed as well.

Baki chose to answer that one for Kakashi. "they posted the match-ups for the final round just the other day.''

Now that the matches had been decided Shisui wanted to know who's fighting who."What about the other matches?"

"Hmm? Oh yeah, Tayuya will be fighting Tenten. Naruto vs Kiba. Your Friend Gaara vs Shino and Ino will be fighting Sakura.", Kakashi said.

"Really... I hope they're up for it.", Shisui muttered, getting a little worried. Tenten had effortlessly disposed of Temari and Tayuya's match was only overshadowed by Gaara in terms of pure brutality.

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. As far as I heard, your sensei here had them train 24/7. I wouldn't be surprised if they're a lot stronger now.", Kakashi said with a laugh. For a moment there.

"So how about you, Shisui? Did you train or what did you do in that month while you were gone?", Baki asked, an eyebrow raised. It had surprised everyone to learn that his new teacher had taken him out of Konoha, even Baki who hadn't a clue whom his student was learning from. So now he was naturally curious to see the results for himself.

Shisui pumped a fist in the air in confidence. "Oh, I trained a lot! I've gotten a lot stronger too, just you wait. So, who am I going to fight first?" he asked.

Baki and Kakashi looked at each other and Baki said." you'll be fighting That Neji dude" a evil look came from Shisui when he heard that he'll be facing Neji, he wanted to pit the Hyūga's Byakugan against his Sharingan, to test out which was better

"Yeah well... good luck with your fight, Shisui.", Kakashi said with a pat on his shoulders and turned to leave again.

"Huh? Wait, where are you going?", Shisui asked curiously.

"I'm helping out my Kurenai a bit. I promised her I'd Pick up something for her is.", Kakashi explained.

"And I was just on an errand for Lord Kazekage when I met Kakashi. It's troublesome, but by talking to you guys, he's probably gonna yell at me again. So, I better get going too.", Baki explained himself as well.

There was nothing to say against this, but Shisui still had a question left he needed to ask, lest he would be wandering the village for a while. "Alright... uh, any ideas where I can find the Temari?"

Baki seemed to think about it for a moment before answering. "I think she should be at Ichiraku about now. She wanted to head there after training. You know, she's been driving Everyone crazy about wanting to try Konoha Foods.'' Baki said as Shisui smirked with a reply: ''That does Sound Like her.''

As Kakashi and Baki waved him off and went their own ways, leaving him to do the same. And his way brought him straight to Ichiraku Ramen. Not only did he have to go without it for nearly a month, but he also hoped to find his girlfirend there, so it was win-win here for him...
