Little Misfits

Chapter Thirty

Akumi POV ___

I found myself falling into a routine.

Sakura was going through medical texts and with her chakra control, she was becoming one of the best in the field.

I was technically her co-worker whenever I was not training or on a mission. My weekdays consisted of three days of hospital duty and Four of missions and I trained every single day.

Himeko had continued to act like a stupid civilian so I had quickly sent my formal complaint to Tsunade.

Unfortunately for her, she did not know that Naruto and I were actually close to Tsunade baa-chan (Even if Naruto is the only knuckleheaded idiot to call her that to her face.)

I am not going to lie I was happy when she was pulled out for remedial training. She was also not going to be placed on my team again. And even if the dumb bitch didn't know it, her chances of moving ranks went down.

Because who wants a Jonin leader who can't handle diversity on their squadron and she is definitely banned from higher rank mission so that she does not place future teammates in danger.

Guess letting Tsunade know how my first genin sensei died due to her squealing and trying to push me away on a mission gone wrong was enough to make sure she was no longer qualified for missions like that.

But even if it does seem like an asshole move, I rather her not be in those kinds of missions if someone is going to end up dead because of it.

"Hey Akumi, when is your lunch break?" I turned to see Sakura with a clipboard in hand. "I just have to finish checking on a few patients and I am off." I replied with a shrug as I looked at her.

"Well hurry up, I'll wait for you. I just got off." She stated and walked off. "Uh, Okay. Wait for me in the break room." I called out as she was leaving and I looked down at my clipboard. Just three more people to go.

I walked quickly to the break room and smiled when I saw Sakura waiting for me. "So what are we eating?" I asked her and she looked up at me with a smile.

"Barbeque, Sasuke is meeting us up there." She grinned as she got up and I nodded. "Sure, I have the rest of the day off as well. Maybe I can do some light training with him." I shrugged as I followed her out of the building.

"Yeah, Well I have to go back since I have an afternoon shift today. Heard he was taking Kenjutsu. " She stated and I glanced at her. "Really?" I cocked a brow and she nodded.

"Yeah, But honestly this is the first time I meet up with him in a few weeks. We are both getting ready for the upcoming chunin exams in suna that we haven't had time to meet up."

"Do you guys have a third teammate?" I ask as I glance at her and she nodded. "We got someone to participate with us. We are going to meet up in a few days for some teamwork exercises, We didn't do it sooner because of how busy we were." She stated as she lightly stretched.

"Oh." I nodded as I opened the door to the restaurant. "Hello, Welcome to the Michi barbeque, I'm Mira your host. How many in the party?" A brunette woman smiled at us.

"We are here with Uchiha Sasuke, He should already be here." Sakura smiled. "Ah, so a party of three? Yes, He is here. Follow me. I'll get you set up." She smiled politely as she led us to the booth were Sasuke was sitting at already looking over the menu options.

"Hey, Sasuke-kun." Sakura smiled as she took a seat. "Took you guys bit." He stated as he looked up. "I was running behind on my rounds." I shrug as I sat down as well.

"What would you two ladies like to drink?" The hostess asked. "Two waters and two cokes." I stated with a shrug and looked back at Sasuke.

"So how have you been, I haven't seen you in a few weeks." I stated as I looked at him.
