[if he were anyone else, he might have said, it's okay not to know what to do with it yet. frankly, he doesn't know what to do with sasuke either. he's been out of the village much longer than he had ever been on kakashi's team, and it's sort of strange to think about it that way, to think how quickly these kids — who he had written off within five minutes of meeting — came to matter to him. it happens so rarely that when these bonds take root, there's very little kakashi can do to explant them.
he's glad, in the end, that it didn't come down to one of them killing the other. team 7 escaped the war alive. it's a novelty for kakashi.
but he's not really the sort of person to say that. it might take him a while, but sasuke will probably figure it out. he merely nods.]
I haven't seen him yet. [naruto.] Did see Sakura, though.
