#and kaen just finds him hilarious she likes him

What would a Kenshi and Team 7 interaction look like. Like, would he be an uncle type cuz of Kakashi. Would he meet Team 7 pre-Shippuden, then meet them again when Sai joined and be like, “Sasuke, you look different.” I need to know.

God if Sasuke hadn't made such a show of leaving the village (with Naruto's loud help) that beautiful interaction could have been possible!

I honestly don't know how they would interact though... Kenshi's genins should graduate sometime between team Gai and the 9 rookies. (They're special little kids a.k.a. we couldn't pick a class for them) so they know of them, but maybe don't know them.

Bonus bits for the funeral party for future revisions:

Evarin made her way through the crowd, approaching the stage to wait for Morianon once he had removed his costume. But instead, she found him crouched at the edge of the stage, still fully in costume, tilting his masked head at a gaggle of giggling children just below him. She paused and watched with a gleam in her eyes as he bounced on his feet, flapping his wings to the amusement of the children. He hopped off the stage and landed amongst them, making one elf child squeal in startled delight. The children, all of different species, crouched and tucked their arms into the shape of wings and mimicked Morianon’s funny little dance, following him in a small circle with bobbing heads and skipping feet.

“Careful,” Evarin piped up, walking over to tease her husband, “the Takran is a tricky bird. You never know where it might be leading you.”

“Usually they lead you to food,” Morianon tutted, leaning forward to feign a peck at her pocket. “Have you brought any fish for the hungry Takran?”

“If you don’t, he’ll eat you!” one of the goblin children shouted, throwing lor hands in the air and tackling an orc child playfully.

“Oh, well I had better make sure he gets his fish then,” Evarin chuckled, “come along, Takran, before you get so hungry you start eating the children.”

“Aw, I was only going to nibble them a little,” Morianon flicked his tail and poked his mask’s beak towards the children, making them shriek with laughter and run off. He stood up and removed his mask, sighing cheerfully. “Alright, I’ll save the rest of the act for the new year’s festival.”

“You do make a perfect Takran,” Evarin said, taking him by the arm.

(to be added in place of the current scene where Evarin goes to find Mori.)

Kaen leaned hard on Morianon’s shoulder, swinging an arm around him.

“Loved your dance,” he said, “watching you flap around up there is always a good time.” He laughed and waved his hand towards the stage. Morianon half crouched under his weight, baring his teeth slightly.

“Are you already drunk?” he asked.

“I’m a cultured individual, Morianon,” Kaen stated, holding his cup in the air, “it’s orcish tradition to drink your heart out for a funeral. And who am I to deny traditions?” He pulled Morianon closer as he took a swig from his cup.

“Ugh, at least do it without using me as an arm rest,” Morianon shoved him away with his wing. Kaen stumbled slightly but retained his balance.

“Alright, alright, don’t get your tail in a twist. Hey, speaking of funerals though-“

“No, you can’t taxidermy my wings when I die,” Morianon replied flatly, ruffling his feathers and squinting suspiciously at his brother in law. Kaen giggled.

“Aw, come on I didn’t even ask yet! It’s not like you’re going to keep using them! They could be a family heirloom!”

“Drop the topic before I call Raisha over here.” Morianon crossed his arms and gave Kaen a pointed look.

“Oh, fine, fine, fine, I’ll leave it be.” Kaen waved his hand and winked.

(not sure where this could go, just thought it would be a hilarious way to introduce Kaen’s taxidermy hobby and the ongoing friendly tension between him and Morianon as brothers in law)
