Sound Ninja

After a few more hugs and tears shared between the team, the genin finally calmed down and now it was time to decide shifts. Currently, the bane of Sakura's existence.

"But why?" asked mildly annoyed pinkette.

"Sakura you're not getting first shift and that's final." said a much more annoyed Sasuke."You fought a giant snake all by yourself, healed both you and I, fought Orochimaru and summoned Lady Katsuyu. Heck I don't even know how your standing with how much chakra you used!"

"But-"

"Sakura-chan your hands have been shaking since we took shelter in here...you need to rest. Let us take care of you for once..." said Naruto. "Do you really not trust us?"

It wasn't that, never that. She trusted them more than anything in her life, but- Dosu and co. were on their way here and if something happened to her team because she was sleeping, she would never forgive herself.

"Of course I trust you guys! I'm just worried...What if something happens to you guys o-or what if someone attacks you guys and you need healing and-"

"Then we'll just wake you up." said Sasuke. "Now go to sleep you annoying woman!"

Sakura gave him an unimpressed look when he called her annoying, before she huffed. "Alright, fine! You guys win, I take last watch." then she started rummaging through her medical pouch. "At least promise me you'll take one of these before you start." she handed them 2, round black pills. "They're homemade chakra pills, they taste horrible, but I'll feel better if I know you took one."

The boys looked at the pills curiously before popping them in their mouths. Then they made disgusted faces as they tasted, quickly Sakura slaped her hands over their mouths to prevent them from spitting.

"I KNOW, ok. I know they taste horrible but they're good for you. Now swallow them." said Sakura, annoyed.

They eventually ate the pills, Naruto with some whining. Which meant that Sakura went to sleep, grumbling things under her breath, about 'bossy people' and some other very colorful words.

"Interesting vocabulary you got there Sakura-chan..." said Naruto, sweatdroping, from where he was standing next to Sasuke, at the cave entrance.

"Hn."

The 2 boys were standing in silence, looking around since neither were very sleepy. When suddenly they felt something slam into their backs. When they looked back they saw it was Sakura's back.

"If you assholes are forcing me to sleep, might as well keep me warm." grumbled a half asleep medic. Naruto chuckled lightly at her statement, while Sasuke smirked. It was common knowledge in the team that Sakura Haruno was a heat seeker when asleep. There were many night, during missions when her teammates found her back pressed to them. No one can escape.

...

A few hours after Sakura went to sleep, one of the traps that Naruto laid around their makeshift camp, activated. The exploding tags laid around, exploding and alerting Naruto who was taking first shift and waking up Sasuke. Both of them jolted up in fighting stances, the Uchiha activating his sharingan. From the smoke appeared 3 slightly singed figures.

"They're here for our scroll. Stay on your guard, Naruto." said Sasuke.

"What about Sakura-chan?" asked Naruto.

"Let her sleep, dobe. We've worried her enough as it is..." said the Uchiha before smirking. "Besides, we can take these guy."

Naruto grinned his way before punching his palm. "You're right teme, let's do this!"

The 3 figures stepped into the clearing, 2 male and 1 female. The one wrapped in bandages, presumably the leader, was the one who spoke.

"We have come for the Uchiha."

"What?!" yelled Naruto. "Like hell we'r-"

"What do you want with me?" interrupted the Uchiha.

"Lord Orochimaru sent us here to fight you." said the girl. "Call it a test if you will."

Naruto growled before he made 8 clones that all launched at the enemy. The girl dispelled some of them with her senbon but the other locked in hand to hand combat with the other 2. Sasuke, not wasting any time, ran towards the spiky haired teen and punched him in the face while he was distracted, before locking in taijutsu match with him. Naruto, not wanting to be outdone himself, also joined the frame as he kicked the girl in the gut. From behind, the one wrapped in bandages took a few steps back before revealing a metal gauntlet with holes in it.

"Kyōmeisen!" yelled Dosu before he sent the sound waves towards Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto managed not to get caught, but Sasuke did. Sasuke spit some blood which distracted him long enough for Zaku to punch the Uchiha in the face. He stumbled a few feet back before regaining himself and sending a Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu at both male sound nins. Meanwhile Naruto managed to overpower the girl and tied her to a tree, and joined Sasuke in the fight.

"2v2, eh? Sounds fun." said Naruto as he made 20 more clones. Sasuke nodded before he punched Dosu in the face. The 2 ninja became a flurry of punches and kicks. The uchiha saw that he was about to use another sound attack, so he sent Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu his way and slammed him into a tree. Just when he was about to regain himself, Sasuke axe kicked him in the head, rendering him unconscious.

All this time Naruto was battling Zaku. He quickly send 6 clones his way, before jumping in himself. Zaku kicked the real Naruto back, but the blonde was smart, so he used the momentum to catch onto a clone and swing himself back towards the sound nin, with a kunai raised. Zaku dodged at the last second, but got his shoulder slashed, making the blonde faceplant into a tree.

And just when the sound nin thought things couldn't get any worse, a certain pinkette woke up, and boy was she pissed. She raised her leg up into the air and kicked the ground with all her might. The resulting wave of earth sending Zaku into a tree. It was at this moment, that he knew he fucked up. So the spiky haired teen swallowed his pride and admitted defeat, giving team 7 the scroll. Luckily it was an earth scroll.

Now that the easy part was done, it was time for the hard part. Dealing with a fuming mad Sakura.

Yeah they were screwed, send your prayers boys and girls.

Naruto and Sasuke might not make it out alive out of this one...
