So I have been on tumblr (same name) and have kind of just realized I could be putting things from there on here so. Here we are: "Things From Tumblr".

First Mission
.

"Isn't this exciting?" Minato asked his little five-year-old student of two days. "Our first mission as a team! Are you ready Kakashi-chan?"
The boy nodded, mask stretching and wrinkling from the face the boy pulled at the 'chan', "Yes, Minato-sensei."
Sensei. Minato loved being called that even if he had only been able to be called it a handful of times. "Right. Our first mission, D51C, is-"
"Sensei," his little student interrupted, "The i-den-tea-fee-kay-shun-" he hid a grin here at the boy sounding out the word carefully, his student was adorable. "Says that it's '52E35-1C', why call it D51C?"
"Because, Kakashi-chan," Minato answered, trying to mimic his old Academy teacher's tones to create his own Sensei Voice- Shodai knows that his sensei never had one. "When you get more missions under you belt- ah, that is when you have taken more missions-" he added hurriedly when the boy peered curiously at his waist as if he literally had missions there. "Then referring to them by both class and ID become tedious, as the higher the mission rank the more complex the identification becomes, thus shinoi tend to refer to them by the letter of their class, the first number of their ID along with the last number and letter of their ID."
The little Hatake blinked thoughtfully, "But…wouldn't it be easier to just have that to i-den-tiff-eye them then?"
"Perhaps." He allowed, "But remember, there are hundreds of thousands of missions taken each year for each rank plus the years before them so the length expands the more time passes and the more missions of each rank are given."
The mask stretched into a frown that bordered on a pout, "That's dumb. Why can't they be reused a few years later? The shinobi who completes the mission is noted isn't it? Wouldn't it work since different shinobi would be taking the mission?"
"You're thinking too much, Kakashi-chan. It's just how it works." He laughed, ignoring the part of him that wondered why they didn't do things like that- Shodai knows how long mission identifications for A-Ranks will be in a few decades, maybe enough to earn an entire page to write out. "Anyways, back to our mission. The mission is…"
The boy's eyes shined with excitement and he felt somewhat bad when he finished with "…to babysit Nonaka Riku-chan!" and the light wilted away- not entirely though, it was a Sensei's guilty pleasure breaking the news to genin about the realities of D-Ranked missions.
Kakashi-chan was silent for a beat before hesitantly asking, "How old is Nonaka Riku?"
"Riku-chan is four years old." He answered.
A longer silence before, "…Sensei…I-…I don't think this is a good idea…"
"Nonsense, it'll be fine!" Minato waved off, with luck his student would make a new friend. "What could go wrong?"

What Went Wrong (Basically)

"Nya! I don't have to listen to you! You're just a kid!"
"I am a shinobi! And you will get in the shower right now you-" *Killing Intent*
"Waaaah!"
"Kakashi-chan!"
"…sorry Sensei…"
"You're a big meanie face!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"I am not and that doesn't even make sense you- you- you stupid-head!"
