'Summons? ' Kakashi-sensei drawls, an eyebrow raised at his three impossible little Genin. 'I leave you alone for two days and you manage to acquire

summons?

'

'Well technically we had the scrolls the whole time, we just chose to

use

them now. ' Sakura reasons.

'Semantics, cub. ' Kakashi counters. 'Summons are no joke, you three. Holding a contract is a defining part of a shinobi 's life. You need to take it seriously. '

'Yes, sensei, ' the three of them echo.

They sit in the heart of training ground three, taking a break from morning exercises. They 're all progressing fantastically on their basic skill sets, the bread and butter of shinobi fighting techniques.

'Don 't practice until you get it right, '

Gai always says

'Practice until you can 't get it wrong! '

It 's good advice despite its source, and Kakashi has always put a high value on being able to react to any situation, to adapt to any variable.
