*Naruko's pov*
-time skip, almost 10 months passed by- (three years is almost up!)

"What if we mix this?" I asked holding up two different vials of something.

"No. It would explode you nitwit." Kabuto said exasperatedly. I sigh and put them back. "Grab me the angelic root, calendula, cacao, echinacea, juniper berries, white willow bark, and witch hazel." He says.

"Okay!" I chime as I run off to get what he asked for. "We don't have cacao or juniper berries..." I say as I come back with an arm load.

"Tch. Alright. Let's just try what we have." He says. I nod and we both begin to mash them. Adding in the angelic root then the calendula. Mashing them together, then putting in the echinacea, white willow bark and witch hazel. Mashing then together we begin the process of turning it into a liquid. "And now we wait."

"Hopefully we get this one." I say sighing.

"Hello?!" We both turn with eyebrows furrowed as someone calls out. I poke my head out of the lab to see Team Hebi walking around. I feel Kabuto put his hand on my waist and look out the door too. My eye twitches.

"Don't touch me you weirdo!" I yell slamming Kabuto's head into the wall.

"Found them." Suigetsu calls as they run up to us.

"Ugh. I didn't mean to touch you." Kabuto says wincing in pain.

"Well they haven't killed each other yet, that's a good thing." Jugo says standing next to Sasuke.

"NARUKO!" Karin yells hugging me tightly. "He hasn't hurt you has he? He didn't do anything rude to you?" She asks as she spins me around checking over me.

"Eh? No, no. He accidentally touched me." I say shrugging. "So What are you guys doing here?" I ask smiling at them.

"We came to check on you." Karin says happily.

"Heh, how sweet." I giggle at them.

"Hey, you got any food? I'm starving!" Suigetsu exclaimed. Kabuto looks at the time.

"Is it really that late?" He mutters. I look at the time.

"We worked all day again..." I say sighing.

"Did you two stop to eat?" Karin asks in a scolding way. We both looked at each other, took a step back and said.

"No ma'am."

"But in our defense, I think we may have found the cure." I say putting my hands up. She bonks us on the heads and we both mutter an Ouch.

"This is your fault." Kabuto says glaring at me. I grow a tick mark and glare at him.

"Whatever." I say annoyed. "I'll go make dinner, are you guys staying the night?" I ask Team Hebi.

"Yes." Sasuke says simply. I smile at him and nod.

"I'll help you cook." Karin says happily.

"No!" Suigetsu yells.

"What did you say?!" She yells glaring at him.

"I said no! You can't cook bitch!" He says glaring back.

"I'll help you." Sasuke says I glare at him.

"Sasuke, no. You can't cook for anything." I say crossing my arms. "Besides, at the moment it's my kitchen, if you don't want stabbed stay the hell out." I say turning and walking away.

"I wouldn't go in there while she's cooking. She really will stab you." I hear Kabuto mutter.

-time skip, after dinner, nobody got stabbed-
