A/N: I decided to write something in honor of Team 7's reunion in Chapter 484. In this short story, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi have defeated Sasuke and restrained him to a tree to give him a little lesson about teamwork. Enjoy. ^_^

"Sasuke...Do you still know the meaning of teamwork? Or have you forgotten?" asked Kakashi. He and his students had just fought Sasuke and had him bound to a nearby tree. Sasuke scoffed and spat in his former sensei's face.
"Teamwork is unnecessary. It is a burden. I'm strong enough to handle things on my own...unlike you, you weak scum! LET ME OUT! LET ME KILL YOU! ALL OF YOU! I'M GOING TO CRUSH THE LEAF, AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" screamed Sasuke, trying to break the ropes that bound him. Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi merely ignored him while Naruto took a piece of tape and covered Sasuke's mouth to shut him up. Sasuke...what have you become?, Sakura thought, tears streaming down her face. How did he become this way? This was what hatred did to their former friend and teammate. Hatred...had turned him into a monster - a monster that only cared about itself, and would do anything to get its way.
"According to the dictionary, the definition of a team is: 'a number of persons associated in a joint action.' My definition of a team is a group of people who will stay with each other through thick and thin, a group of people who are always there for each other. A group of friends. And-" Kakashi continued. Naruto interrupted him before he could finish.
"I would like to say something." he muttered.
"What is it, Naruto?" asked Kakashi.
"Sasuke. You are still part of Team 7. Do you know why?" Naruto asked. Sasuke scowled and shook his head.
"Why?" said Sakura.
"Tell him, Naruto." said Kakashi. 'Naruto is sure to bring Sasuke back!', thought Kakashi.
"Because..." Naruto paused. He grinned and inhaled deeply. "WE'RE THE THREE BEST FRIENDS THAT ANYBODY COULD HAVE! WE'RE THE THREE BEST FRIENDS THAT ANYONE COULD HAVE! WE'RE THE THREE BEST FRIENDS THAT ANYBODY COULD HAVE, AND WE'LL NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER,EVER, EVER LEAVE EACH EACH OTHER!"
