As the genin took turns briefing their sensei on the first two exams, Ibiki found his respect for them and Kakashi growing.
"You picked their pockets?" Ibiki interrupted, finding this hilarious. Naruto looked between him and Kakashi, asking silently whether he was going to get in any trouble over that.
"Hey, I won't say a word," Ibiki said. "I think it's great. Shows you were thinking about the best and cleanest way to achieve the mission objective instead of any personal glory. Although I have to say, it's a good thing you were only picking the pockets of genin. If you try that with an experienced ninja, you're liable to lose your hand."
"Of course. Right, right," Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head with a foxy grin on his face. "I'd never try such a thing on someone able to catch me. Oh, hey, that reminds me. I wanted to show you something I picked up from one of the Konoha genin, Kaka-sensei."
"Yeah, those cards were weird," Sakura agreed.
