Loved it-- you move from seriousness to humor easily, but never really leave the seriousness behind. I liked the second half of the fic best--interacting with Rin and Kakashi. I love fics with Jeraiya and Kakashi, either at odds or in agreement, or just them talking about the fourth or old times or whatever. Or Jeraiya scolding Kakashi for failing his responsibilities as a teacher while he's doubly failed as a godfather. I think those two have the potential for such a great, edgy dynamic. *
I have this idea now that Minato might have at some point told his students "If the old creepy dude with white hair ever falls down in the street, help him up, because he was my teacher and it's important that we respect our elder, wiser shinobi." And just left it as an open directive.
* Oh man, I just had a thought about how Jeraiya would feel, in a hypothetical AU future when everyone's alive and slightly older, about hearing of kakasaku. I bet Jeraiya's opinion of Kakashi would probably drop even more. ...Of course, I also like the idea that Jeraiya is his uncle or great uncle or something (I'm fuzzy on their ages) and failed in that too.
