"Riko?" The girl called out into the hallway. From down the hall, she heard distinct sounds of banging and muffled curses, but Akira was far used to the girl's actions. "Are you ready? It's time to head out."
Riko emerged from her doorway, an excited grin on her face. On her back, was a bag two-times her size.
...
"Are you an idiot?" Akira raised an eyebrow, an amused smile flicking across her face.
"It's all extra food. Y'know. In case we get stranded or something." The short-haired girl raised a thumbs-up.

"I'm a Jounin so there will be no need to worry." Kakashi responded to his question.

The most she ever sparred back in Konoha was when she teamed up with Riko and went against Naruto and Sasuke.
