(On Hold) Retribution (Act I)

Shifting Sands.

"So in celebration of the finished product of the bridge-"

Tazuna looked around with a grin as many of his friends, family, and team 7 was chilling around. All celebrating the opening of the unnamed bridge, as the Man had cleared his throat.

"-I have decided to name the bridge...The Great Tazuna Bridge!"

The old man did jazz hands. He getting into a stance as he had a wide smile. He looking at everyone else for their opinions, but his smile faded at many of the villagers lip curled dislike of the name. Even if he was the builder, he didn't really do much building.

The man sighed in defeat, before chuckling. He wanted to test his hand but, smiled before looking to the people.

"I know well that wouldn't have worked. But, I digress, I wanted to formally say...thank you from Team Seven for putting the time and dedication into helping out in the process. To Zabuza and Haku, thank you for not killing me..."

Zabuza snorted as he nodded. Haku just chuckled slightly.

"However, as thanks i wish to formally name the bridge...The Seventh Division Bridge. Named after the Seventh Division of Shinobi that was dispatched with what little money my fellow friends and people of the town could spare. I thank you all for this help, and without it...we would still be in dispair...and a as a show of gratitude...we have etched your names into the side of the bridge, with all of those who have fallen while the bridge was being built...and finally.."

The old man bowed. Many of the other villagers repeating a similar process, as the words left all of there mouths.

"Thank you For everything!"

Four Days Latee...

Naruto was walking besides a still limping Satsuki as the pair looked at one another. Each blushing slightly before gently putting there hands out, as they locked hands. Both smiling at eachother. The villages gates on the horizon.

"Granted I was nervous about arriving, You know, everyone will be shocked that the Ice princess of The Academy was tamed by the Loud mouthed blond...but what do you want to do with our relationship? Sakura, Kakashi, Haku, and Zabuza know of us. Should we..."

Satsuki, the one who was speaking had asked the question that was on both of there minds. Now, Naruto wanted to answer, but a hand was placed in his and Satsuki's shoulder.

"You know, If you want it to be kept a secret, you will need to learn how to manage yourselves. You both were locked in each other's embrace and, the other day you were licking lips. you have a basic concept to hide it, but even then...it's obvious to anyone seasoned with love, or someone who knows well what love is, that you two are madly in love. Also the slight Limp Atleast doesn't give much away, but it's obvious what you two did. Surprised you went at it like animals."

Sakura had joined there conversation. Grinning rather evilly as both stared at the Pinkette. She getting the message quickly, before dropping the grin.

"W-well, your secret is safe with me. Zabuza and Haku will be finding there own place to stay so it's going to be interesting...then there is also Kakashi, who-"

Kakashi cleared his throat before slipping his hand into pocket. He pulling out his Icha Icha Paradise book with a smile.

"I'm going to be reading the new edition of Icha Icha Paradise. We will begin training in two days, unless one of you wish to be trained by myself. Then I'll gladly train you."

Sakura nodded, while Naruto and Satsuki walked arm in arm, there firm grasp on each others hands not letting go, as Naruto decided to speak up.

"Let's keep us a secret for now, with only a few aside from us few to know. I'm pretty sure your mother would have questions so it would be...smart if I go with you. Better she know who her daughter is with."
