聞こえよがし is for when you’re intentionally saying something with the clear purpose of letting the intended person overhear you. So it’s like a ‘loud-whisper’ in that you want the other person to hear whatever sarcastic or mean comment that you have to throw. Guy is so sassy~

女の子を引っ掛ける means to pick up a girl~ So 敵のくノ一をひっかけていた = picked up an enemy kunoichi. Though the root verb is sorta like “to catch/cheat/ensnare/trap”. 女を引っ掛ける basically means colloquially that Guy thinks that he seduced her :P

Even though Kakashi is saying 分かった = I know/ I understand over and over again literally, he means more like “Urgh, I get it already!” or “Okay, okay, enough!” because he’s just frustrated at everyone for trolling him and chastising him about hitting Naruto.

The last line has a subtle connotation to it. Usually when ‘Spring is just around the corner’ is mentioned, it can sometimes be a metaphor for ‘blossoming love’ (=the romantic kind because of the blooming sakura trees in the spring). It don’t interpret it to mean that (I think they have a friendly/platonic work-relationship going on). But this line made 2ch explode on this light novel’s release day… because of the way that you could read it.

The other way to interpret the last line (the way I would put it?) is that it refers to the ways things will be changing and looking up from there onwards (like a refreshing new start on something). The time-skip in this chapter is March, so you could also take the ‘Spring is coming soon’ to be literal~
