A blond kunoichi was sitting just outside the door, looking at the trees that surrounded her house.
The mission to Wave was getting on her nerves, she couldn't stand fooling around without anything to do.
She sighed and patted Ton-Ton on its head, felling worried, lonely, and pissed, for absolutely no reason except that she hadn't seen Naruto for three whole days now. It was the longest time they have spent apart since she and Shizune had found him.
And the fact that the process was completed just before he left only increased her uneasiness.
True, he seemed normal, but the fact was that he was far from it; he's always been, but now more than ever.
What will happen if one of the jounin senseis notices his affinities? Or his control over fire? What if they notice he's masking his chakra? And the village? Tsunade sighed, she had too much free time now that Naruto was an active genin, and it was driving her crazy.
'Maybe Shizune is right, I should take the job of head of the hospital. I definitely can't stay here another second without losing my mind.' With those thoughts the blond Sannin stood up and went toward the village.
"So, you basically had your asses handled to you by this Zabuza guy and his minions?"
"Kiba, mind your language." Kurenai reprimanded him.
The two teams lead by Kakashi and Asuma had arrived at Tazuna's home with their client, and regrouped with Kurenai and her team.
They had also met Tsunami, the bridge builder's daughter, who was now busy trying to make room for all of them.
"Are we sure that Sasuke is alright?" the genjutsu mistress asked.
"Yeah, he's fine," Naruto answered absent-mindedly, "And I hope Kakashi-sensei will remember to report that I had to use a very expensive medicine."
Sakura glared hard at him, while Ino rolled her eyes. The blond kunoichi had realized that no matter what, her teammate could be incredibly stubborn when he wanted to, beside she was sure that he liked to piss people off every now and then.
"Hey, don't glare at me now, you have no idea how much that medicine costs. Hell, it's the most expensive thing I have, except for my kaa-san's necklace." The orange clad boy said.
The three jounin decided to ignore their students' bickering and focus on what they knew of their enemy.
"So we have a former swordsman of the Mist, two chuunin, and a fake hunter-nin skilled with senbon." Kurenai summarized.
"Yeah, the problem is that while we know that the first three are powerful, we know nothing on that boy. Beside, even if they probably aren't aware of your team, Kurenai, there's no way for us to know if Zabuza or Gato will seek help from other missing-nins." Asuma reasoned.
"In any case, one thing is sure: we need to train our students. I'd say to start with a bit of chakra control, then we can take turns: I'll take care of ninjutsu, Kurenai, you will teach them the basic of genjutsu, and you, Asuma, will supervise their taijutsu. That way, while one of us train them the others can look after Tazuna and his family," Kakashi said, demonstrating his abilities as squad leader gained serving as an ANBU captain.
Asuma was pleased because, as much as he liked his pupils, sometimes they simply threatened his sanity, and now he could take a small break. Kurenai was inwardly cheering at the chance to teach someone about her art, especially Naruto who had shown aptitude at it.
Kakashi simply wanted the genins to socialize and grow strong.
"It's useless, there's no way you can win against Gato's men. You're all going to die." The Konoha ninjas turned to look at who spoke and saw a little boy with dark hair and eyes, wearing a hat.
