Oml haha I just realized I forgot to add a chapter name... go me 😂😂
Sakura shuddered as she pointedly turned her back to the scene taking place. Gaara and Naruto had left the room as soon as the two Bijuu entered and knowing Sasuke, he probably went off with Naruto.
She hadn't seen any of them for a while now and really wished that they were here because she could use the help.
She let Kurama and Shukaku decide the fate of Kakashi's newfound artwork. You can imagine how that turned out.
"Give it back Kurama!"
"Hell no! Stay away, or I'll unleash my secret weapon!"
"Wait goddamnit you idiot fox, can't we talk about this-Dear Kami please no,"
"Mysterious puddle no Jutsu!"
-insert ichibi wailing sounds-
Sakura now had two puddles to deal with, one made of Kakashi's tears, and another of Kurama's...bodily secretions that are better left unstated.
Finally having enough, she spun on her heel and all but sprinted out the door. (taking care to not make contact with the questionable liquids on the floor, of course) She would deal with those three idiots who left her on babysitting duty.
Sakura found all three of them conveniently standing together in the lobby of the hotel. They seemed to be deep in conversation, but she didn't care. "What the hell you three! Why was I the one stuck babysitting our sensei and two immortal beings, whom, might I add, are your responsibility!" Naruto and Gaara both shrunk slightly under the pinkette's terrifying glare,
"And why the hell are you three here chatting like teenage girls!" After a long pause, it was Sasuke who spoke up after swallowing thickly.
"Would it be a bad time to tell you that I think your swearing vocabulary could use a bit more work?" Oh hell naw. Both Naruto and Gaara cringed at the ravenette's comment, and silently prayed for his wellbeing as he faced the human-embodiment of Satan on his own.
The three of them quivered slightly as Sakura rolled up her sleeves. "So...is my vocabulary not advanced enough for you?" If she didn't have the attention of everybody in the lobby, she would after her next statement. "Well then," Sakura cracked her knuckles, and before anyone could process what was going on, she had Sasuke by the collar and slammed him into the nearest wall.
"Then is this @%#! Good enough for you, you *$@!%# ?" The pinkette then proceeded to let out rainbows of curses that would put Hidan to shame any day, and soon had Sasuke trembling and begging for mercy.
He looked to Naruto and Gaara for help but damn them. Those traitors were actually laughing!

Not a second after Sakura's extravagant display of vocabulary, Team 7 was politely asked to leave the establishment. Ha, the joke's on them though. Naruto wished he would be able to see their expression when they find an S-rank criminal tied up in their room.
Anyway, after they had packed their bags, Team 7 and co. exited Kumo's gates and were reluctantly on their way to the Leaf. However, despite the suffocating doom and gloom atmosphere that magically appeared whenever anyone mentioned Konoha, the trip so far was pretty enjoyable.
Sakura and Sasuke were now on speaking terms. Their one-sided brawl in the lobby seemed to have settled all scores between the two, and Naruto was happy to see his two teammates getting along once again. Even if getting along meant having lengthy discussions on the proper usage of hair products; a topic that he was shamelessly inept in.
The blonde didn't know what came over him, but suddenly his hand drifted over and clasped around Sasuke's. Against his will of course! And damn his hands! They wouldn't let go!
"Everything alright, Dobe," A gasp almost escaped Naruto's lips as he looked up at Sasuke with badly-hidden widened eyes.
"U-um," Was his intelligent reply, "Of course! Why wouldn't it be, Teme?" An awkward laugh bubbled in his throat as he reached to rub the back of his neck with his free hand.
"Ok then," Sasuke replied with a small smile, squeezing the blonde's hand ever so slightly as he turned back to converse with Sakura. A warm, fuzzy feeling erupted in Naruto's chest, and he couldn't help the grin on his face as he decided to try to include himself in his teammate's conversation.
"Sakura, hairspray is the worst. It gets everywhere except where you want it, and it's so easy to over-spray one spot."
"So what? I would die if I were caught with clumps of hair gel on my head."
"There are mirrors for a reason," Sasuke pointed out,
"Um, aren't they both the same? They both make your hair crunchy and gross." Both Sasuke and Sakura stopped talking when they heard the blonde's meek interjection. Naruto shifted uncomfortably under their gazes as he waited for their response.
"Naruto, it's all about convenience. Think of it like this: On a mission, would you rather carry around a small bottle of hair gel or a can of hairspray that could explode at any time?" Sasuke explained, but then he saw Naruto's face light up at the mention of explosives,
"Nevermind what I just said. Remind me next time we're free to show you how hair gel is better," The ravenette finished, staring pointedly at Sakura as he said the last part.
"Are you three done over there? We're gonna set up camp," Kakashi yelled from his spot a few yards in front of them. The three members of Team 7 stopped conversing after their sensei's statement and instead began to help prepare for the slowly approaching darkness.

Anyway, I hope you found this chapter funny! And Happy Holidays!
