𝐈𝐍 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐀 𝐅𝐄𝐖 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒, 𝐈𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐌𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 would be finished. Hopefully the bridge will be finished by in a few days, without any interruptions, even though there is no doubt that either Zabuza or Gato will appear at the bridge.
Ayame would rather deal with the latter, since it's easier to deal with him, as he isn't even a shinobi.

Ayame looks around at the table to see that everyone is here, except for Sakura and Naruto. Sakura must still be sleeping, but she's unsure about Naruto. He didn't return last night.

Sakura walks to the table, yawning.
"Good morning, everyone," Sakura says sleepily.

She sits down beside Ayame at the table. Miss Tsunami approaches them with their breakfast.
"Here." She says as she hands Sakura her breakfast.

"Thank you."

Sakura rubs her eye as Miss Tsunami hands Ayame her food. "Thank you."

"Naruto's not here? Looks like he was put all not again," Mister Tazuna says.

"He could be dead by now, using you know, from using too much chakra," Sakura says which made Ayame look over at her. Naruto may be an idiot, but she's sure he knows when to actually stop.

"Well, I certainly hope he's okay." Miss Tsunami says, bringing another bowl to the table.

"A child spending the night in the woods alone."

"There nothing to worry about. Naruto, a goofy kid, but he's also a full-fledged ninja. He can handle himself," Kakashi-sensei reassures her.

"Sakura's right, Naruto's such a loser. He's probably laying out there dead somewhere." Sasuke gets up and heads up to the door. Ayame raises her brow, wondering where he's going.

"Sasuke?"

"I'm just going for a walk," he says.

"But we just started eating."

Sakura looks at Sasuke plate, which is now empty.

"Huh? That was fast."

"Looks like he was hungry," Ayame comments, continue eating her food.

After breakfast Ayame, Sakura and Kakashi-sensei went out to go look for Naruto and Sasuke who still had not returned, yet. Ayame was worried that Naruto was maybe injured since he didn't return home.

"Knowing Naruto, he could be anywhere! And Sasuke hasn't come back yet either. I wonder where they are," Sakura says as they walk through the woods.

A kunai lands at their feet, and they immediately look up to see Naruto in a tree.

"Whoa, Naruto can climb that high now using his chakra? That's great," Sakura says with a smile. "Looks like our advice worked, Ayame."

"What do you think? High enough for you guys? I mean, it's a long way down, huh?" Naruto asks as he clings onto a branch.

He goes to stand upside down on the tree, but then his feet slips, and he starts falling.
"Naruto!"

"Uh-oh," Kakashi-sensei mumbles as Sakura screams. Ayame's eyes are wide, wondering what to do to help him.

Naruto forces his chakra to his feet and catch himself to where he hung upside down. The blonde boy suddenly starts laughing.

"Hahaha, just kidding."

Ayame glares at the boy. "You guys really felt for it! I was up here planning it the whole time!" Naruto laughs.

"We were worried about you, Naruto!" Sakura yells.
