(On Hold) Retribution (Act I)

Promise.

Sakura stood within Team 7's Training Ground. A smile on the Pink headed face of the Civilian made Shinobi girl as she relished in the rays of sun that basked the field. It had been quite the experience that she and others had , and quite the amount of bonding spent. However a thought graced her mind as she  turned to see Satsuki appear. Naruto normally was the last to appear, even more late then Lakashi, a nickname she had given to Late Silver haired Shinobi.

However, she didn't think to much on that as her main attention was prone to being set towards Satsuki. The Female Uchiha had been awfully quiet the past few mornings, and she didn't know why. Of course, she made it apparent to ask but never went through with it. So in the end, she stood up and walked over to her friend and crouched down besides her.

Satsuki and Sakura glanced at one another, as She was given a small, but still subtle smile.

"Hey Satsuki. I've been meaning to ask but, you look like you have been having something on your mind. You wanna talk about it?"

Sakura had relaxed next to her friend before turning her attention to Satsuki who, remained silent. No words being spoken as the latter pondered on the question.

However after a moment, she focused her attention to her friend. "Am I okay? I don't know...with everything that's been going on, and with the revolution of what Naruto is, and who exactly he is, or Atleast from what he told us...it's just been a thought at the back of my mind. Will we be strong enough to help him? Am I strong enough? Are you strong enough? Thing is, I realize now that...you remember when he kissed me, the old him?"

Sakura had giggled at the mention and nodded. Oh she remembered it clearly...then something clicked and she became serious. "Yes I do. It was a big deal and every guy wanted to kill Naruto that day. Why?"

Satsuki simply looked forward as she sighed. "Is the bad thing that I actually liked it? Thinking about everything now, and how this Naruto has suffered much more then our old one, with him and the other having similar fates...although he hasn't told us, it's so visible. He has a mask that he wears to suppress his emotions and something like that...you don't know what can happen. I just hope we can be there for him a-"

She was cut off by Sakura staring wide eyed at the Uchiha.

"Wait wait wait, Satsuki repeat the words again were you said you Liked it? Do you have a crush on N-"

She was silenced by two hands being placed on her mouth.

"Sakura Shut it, I don't know if I do or not, but I never actually disliked that!"

"Dislike what?"

Satsuki jumped up In a squeal, something that took the voice by surprise, as Sakura had gotten up as well, before tripping. She, falling on her ass as she just laughed.

Behind them stood Kakashi as his lone eye was just blinking in confusion. He hadn't exactly heard any of what was said, even despite his good hearing, he remained quiet...before putting his hand up to help both girls up.

Satsuki, blushing a bright red color, took the hand after a moment of recollecting herself, and Sakura after her fit of laughing ended.

"So, what exactly happened. If I may ask, I didn't ease drop but I heard dislike and thought something happened so, I made myself be known."

He helped both of his female Genin up, before retracting his hands. Waiting for an answer from one of them.

"Well, we were talking about Naruto. Mainly about what has been going On up to this point and generally, it's greatly interested me with how much we have grown. And also, Satsuki here has made it clear she wants to grow stronger, and I actually remembered, since we finished the required amount of D-Rank missions, I was wondering. Do we have anything coming up for Any future C Rank missions?"
