Chapter 86- A new mission! Off to the Land of Tea, Cha no Kuni!

'Normal thought...'

"Kyuubi/ Bijuu speech..."

'Kurama communicating with Naruko inside her head...'

'Kurama's thoughts, Naruko can't hear...'

"Normal speech..."

Jutsu name...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Naruko cheered as she looked at the Chunin, who were handing out missions in front of them. "Yay~ Let's do it~ Another mission!" But then her excitement faltered a bit and she sweat dropped. "....Hopefully not a babysitting mission again... I've had enough of that."

Kurama nodded frantically at that inside their mindscape. 'Agreed. Totally agreed.'

"Hn." Sasuke just grunted and crossed his arms.

Naruko rolled her eyes at that and sighed. 'Is it just me or did the duckbutt get even less talkative since what happened... Geez, his ego can't take a blow...'

"Huh? I don't see Kakashi-sensei around here." Sakura noticed and looked around in confusion. Normally, their jounin sensei would come along with them, except when it's a D-rank mission they have to do.

Naruko sweat dropped at that in fondness. "Kashi-sensei is probably late again... Geez, I really have to get that out of his head."

"No, Kakashi will not be coming." Tsunade said seriously as she walked inside the room.

"Huh?" Naru turned her head and as soon as she spotted her godmother, a warm bright smile formed on her face. "Tsuna-baa~" And with that....she crashed the Godaime Hokage into a hug while giggling cheerily.

Tsunade sighed at that in fondness and ruffled Naruko's hair. "How often should I tell you gaki to call me Hokage-sama when we meet in formal conditions?"

Naru just huffed at that and smiled foxily at her while waving dismissively with her hand. "That will never happen, Tsuna-baa. Just give up on it already."

Kurama snorted at that amused in her mind while Tsunade just sighed again.

"You can be lucky that I'm fond of you, Naru." The Godaime Hokage huffed at her, a small fond smirk present on her face before she sat down by the table while Naruko went back to her teammates.

Sasuke and Sakura had until now just watched surprised how their blonde teammate interact so casually with the Hokage. Sakura then shook her head and looked at Tsunade in confusion. "What do you mean by Kakashi-sensei will not be coming?"

"As you three already know, most of the Jounin including Kakashi are being sent on different missions. So, this time, the three of you will have to execute a mission by yourselves." Tsunade informed them seriously and threw a small, pointed look at Naru.

Naruko narrowed her eyes and gave a small, almost unrecognizable nod back in Tsunade's direction. 'Looks like Tsuna-baa wants me to watch Sasuke and his mental condition closely in this mission.'

'Meh... I don't care about that... Just let the Uchiha get crazy for kami's sake and everything would be easier to handle without him around here.' Kurama grumbled at her, still not being able to let go of his hatred against Uchiha's, thanks to two certain Uchiha controlling him before.
