"If I kept Sai on the team, that would make a five man cell," Tsunade said slowly, pensively chewing her thumb. "And we usually have three or four to a team." She sighed and put her chin on her upturned palm. Dismally bored, Naruto stared her down, urging her to make a quick ruling on the future of team seven. Sakura stood also in front of the Hokage, and nodded thoughtfully, as if she too were thinking of the ramifications of having a large team. The other members of the squad stood stoic and solemn as they waited for a certain indecisive, busty blonde to hurry the fuck up.
"Well," She said, after an antagonizing pause or two. "I suppose there's no harm in trying this team out for a while, see how you work together. Would that work with you, Kakashi?" The sensei of the team looked up from watching his students' backs, as Sakura's fingers uncrossed themselves and Sasuke's fists became tight. He smiled, or you could say the fabric of his mask wrinkled, and gave a quick nod.
"I would love to see this team through. Perhaps you could check in on us again in a month to see how we're progressing." He suggested. Tsunade's eyes narrowed for a moment before she stood up and nodded, dismissing the ninja with a curt hand gesture.
Team seven walked out of the Hokage's office and into the bright daylight.
"Alright, our first time training as a team will be tomorrow at six in the morning—" Naruto's mouth fell open and Sakura rolled her eyes, as the two other young boys on the team stared glassily waiting for more instruction. "—don't look at me like that, Naruto. We'll meet at our usual training pitch. Incase anyone forgot, that's by the lake. Have a nice evening." Kakashi said. He waved and disappeared, leaving the other four members of the team in the dust.
"What the hell! We could have trained today! It's not even noon!" Naruto complained. Sasuke had also disappeared when Kakashi did, so Naruto looked to Sai and Sakura to agree with him.
"Maybe sensei was busy. Anyway, I'm going to the library, I'll see you guys tomorrow."
"Alright, later." Sakura smiled and walked off. Naruto sighed and also left. Sai remained for a moment or two, seemingly waiting for a resolution to an unseen problem, but he also left.
Naruto jogged quickly through a part of the forest he knew to be close to the stream. He'd gone looking for team 8 an hour ago and was having difficulty finding them. Then he heard a distant "Yahoo!" and ran in the direction it came from. "Hey! Naruto! What 'cha doin'?" Kiba asked him. Naruto grinned and came up to Kiba and Akamaru.
"Nothing. No training today. Wanted to know if you'd like to go swimming or something."
"Good idea. I think Hinata said something about swimming with Tenten today. You up for some scoping?"
"Knowing them, they're probably wearing their dad's baggy t-shirts."
"Yeah, but think of their fine naked bodies underneath." Naruto shrugged. Him and Kiba started to walk further down the stream towards Red Pond, the pond people swam in the most because it had direct sunlight, making it warm.
"Sure." Naruto said. "Do you like Tenten or something? Because I can't see you picturing Hinata's naked body."
"Dude, have you seen her tits? They're huge. She's hot. But you're right, I'm kinda in to Tenten."
"Why?"
"She's different, and she's free 'cause she ain't with Neji no more."
"Holy crap, I should have guessed. He's been acting like that stick up his ass got shoved by like a meter more than usual."
"Yeah, he's pissy 'cause she left him and he thinks he's really great with the whole fancy clan shit." They heard quiet voices talking and knew that they'd found their gold. "Hey ladies! Mind if we join you?" Ino was there too, and they knew that she'd be the one to let them in or send them off. She was braiding her hair, and looking the boys up and down.
"I don't think so."
Kiba kicked at a group of rocks along the path. "Queen dumb blonde must have her period." He mumbled. Naruto nodded and put his hands behind his neck, supporting the weight of his head as he looked up through the canopy of the trees.
"Hinata looks good in blue." Naruto said.
"You want me to talk to her for you? I think she used to have a crush on you, you know. Remember when she would faint all the time when you were around?" Naruto opened his mouth in recognition, but closed it again, the empty look in his eyes coming back.
"No."
"Well, she did. Maybe she likes you."
"Maybe. I don't really want a relationship, or anything. I'm too restless, and it'd get in my way."
"I won't let you use Hinata for a quick fuck, Naruto."
"I know. I would never do that." Naruto sighed and rubbed his hands on his pants. "Not my thing. Maybe I'll ask her out in a year or two. I'm not ready for anything long."
"I know what you mean." Kiba said. "I heard that the Hokage's gonna send a bunch of us out on a trip to Suna, for some training with their youngest black opps members. They've got kids as young as fourteen there, they're really good. Did you want to go?"
"Woah, yeah. Totally. When's it?"
"Next week I think."
"Yeah. Sign me up."
