How Kakashi could even think for a moment that she and Raphael were similar was completely beyond her. Especially seeing his reaction to doing something as simple as ignoring the majority of his comments. While it was difficult, seeing him squirm for once was pretty satisfying.
"Of course it's easy," she returned. "If it weren't for the fact that we somehow wind up in our beds again every morning, our team would've escaped the very first night without breaking a sweat." That, she was sure, was no idle talk either. She had full confidence in their team!
"The ranking exams we took back home when we were only twelve were much more difficult than this and we survived those just fine," hadn't passed the first time, but then... of the many who entered, only Shikamaru had been able to pass his first time through.
"Anyway," she said with a casual shrug, tossing the remnants of her pizza back on the plate "Taijutsu, that's hand to hand combat," she paused to explain, whether or not he actually knew what it meant, "is something I've been learning since I was a child. It would be a much shorter list to try to find things I haven't excelled in. Shuriken, kunai, bladed weapons, chains, it doesn't really matter. But I certainly don't rely on something like that. My fists are just as good a weapon as anything."

And after Tsunade's harsh years of training, her power was strong enough to bring down a member of Akatsuki with a little help. And how often did she actually get to brag? Well, aside from the occasional snide comment to Ino-pig...
