The sudden arrival of a newcomer turned the teams attention to her but that wasn’t what surprised Airi, what surprised her was the call of the blonde haired boy! Her head jerked back in surprise and her cheeks flushed an uncomfortable red of embarrassment as her gaze moved instinctively to her friend. The surprise reflected in both of their faces but was short lived and replaced by laughter as the pink haired girl raised a fist and planted it against the blonde haired boy’s head who seemed to crumble to the ground at the weight of the hit.

“It’s a pleasure to meet all of you.” She stated with a bright and cheery smile as she arrived to them carrying the basket.

The banter between her friend and the students made her give a genuine smile. He seemed almost at ease with the students and as someone who gets handed S rank missions, it’s wonderful to see him in such a calm manner; he deserved it.

At Naruto’s complaining she chuckled. “I’m told Naruto, that you are a lot like me when I was younger. So that must mean you’re funny, talented, and a charmer.” To that the blonde seemed to blush as he turned away from her.

The next to speak up was Sakura. “Excuse me Airi-Sempai, may I ask what’s in the basket?”

“Oh.” Airi said, her attention to the basket as she opened the flap and tilted the basket to show the eager people the contents inside. “Freshly made Karepan; it’s a roll that’s coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried, filled with a center of smooth sweeter curry.”

“They look like the ones sold at Delicious Delights.” Sakura said following her nose like everyone else.

“That’s because they are; I own Delicious Delights.” Airi’s answer was a simple statement that left the three children in shock that their Sensei would know someone who owned the popular bakery.

As they got closer she slammed the lid shut with a force, causing the three students to jump back. “You each get one once you’ve completed the task Kakashi-chan has set you to do.” A nod rose and fell her head as she started towards a small grassy area. Turning she set down the basket and sat beside it, “Oh and Kakashi-chan,” She said reaching into the basket and pulling out a Karepan, “I have one for you as well. But, you get yours when your students are done.” With a slightly twisted smile she took a bit of her Karepan and watched the training session.
