'You want to

what? '

'I know you heard me Shiranui. I 'm not repeating myself. ' Kakashi replies, unimpressed.

Genma looks him up and down. He doesn 't

look

like he 's sustained significant head trauma, but with Kakashi it 's sometimes hard to tell. He is acting '

jumpy

though, or as jumpy as an ex-Anbu captain is capable of acting.

'But

why?

'

Kakashi looks away tellingly. 'My pack needs more space to run around in. ' He hedges.

'Bullshit. You run them outside the village at least twice a day, and even if they were complaining, that 's still not enough of a reason for you to crack open

this

particular can of worms. ' Genma pauses mid thought, reanalyzing Kakashi 's wording, and another idea slots into place, painting a clearer picture. 'Unless you 're not talking about your dogs. '

The copy-nin looks distinctly uncomfortable at that, detectable even underneath the mask.

Bingo
