Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor any character but the cuties that my brain has concocted.

A/N: Hello, my lovelies. I know you all have been waiting impatiently for this story to come out. You are all lucky that this one is coming out right now as it is. I'm trying to get my mind off of losing my cat, which she died of old age today. We rescue all of our animals and she's on that I have grown attached to really quickly because she's a special needs animal. She was abused by previous owners who ended up declawing her and in the end they dropped her off at a power plant. A friend brought her to us and we have had her since. What I mean by special needs is that her hips were deformed due to a previous accident that her previous owner didn't even take the time to get fixed via the vet. When I was told by a specialist that she would die if I were to get it fixed so we have just been enjoying watching her walk around, even if she did kind of look like she's one of those old men who lived on a horse. She had her own quirks but they were cute, and she loved meowing to get my attention a lot, and cuddling with me when everyone is in bed. She decided that since this is such a good home to finally end her time and stopped eating. I was told that cats do that when they are older and are comfortable in a house, not counting with her fractured rear teeth she was probably having issues eating and decided it was too much of a hassle. She still did her normal things, like cuddling and everything until a few days ago where she wasn't able to keep her balance so we just waited, knowing it was going to happen. I just know that I've been crying for hours because she became one of my babies in the short amount of time that we have adopted her. If you guys want, I did put a short video up of her on Tiktok, I'm anniekitsune69 so I'm not hard to find. Anyway, my mind was so set on starting this one that I hope you all will enjoy it and as of now I'm still having computer issues and this is the 6th computer that decided to stop working for some apparent reason. We might just give up and get me a gaming laptop since they are higher strength and can hold all of my back up, except my triple backups that have to take an external hard drive to even do. Anyway, since I've lost my writing buddy I have just been dealing with the two who are begging for food instead of my fuzz ball lap warmer. I hope you all will enjoy the start since I've decided to just go ahead and start it at the beginning of Shippuden where he arrives back at the village. Well, here goes everyone:

Chapter One

Multiple footsteps are heard, walking through the gates of Konoha, drawing a few people to their attention as the group of four continues on walking slowly. They look up around them and the nostalgic feelings overwhelm them as the two older recognize the buildings that don't seem like they have changed all that much. "It's been about 2 and a half years…" A feminine voice says as it is full of wonder.

"Indeed…" The older man says and they stop towards the center of a familiar road where the teen girl drops one of her bags to the ground, she jumps up to climb the power pole, while Jiraiya stands still with a young child with black and blond hair is snuggled up to his shoulder, watching the people walking by. "Haha…she's certainly cheerful today isn't she…"

"Alright! I missed this place! It hasn't changed one bit!" She shouts out as a little red headed girl is glued to her back. "Yeah! Yeah! Eh?!" Naruto's ponytail is tugged on by the girl.

"Mommy, isn't that Granny?" The little girl points to the faces on the Hokage monument.

"Hehehe! So they've added Tsunade's ugly old mug to the mountain! Ha!" She giggles as the little girl starts getting excited and climbing up onto her shoulders.

"You've grown a lot, haven't you…Naruto." Kakashi says as his face shows a little shock at seeing the girl climbing on her. Naruto and Jiraiya both look over to see the man reading one of Jiraiya's novels. "Yo!" He says as he holds a hand up in greeting. "What's with the little girl?" He asked her and his jaw drops when the girl jumps off of Naruto to slide down the pole and jump onto the roof where he is sitting.

"Is this your old sensei, mommy?" She asks as she pokes him on the chin wondering why he is wearing a mask. Kakashi's jaw drops when he notices that the girl looks almost exactly like a younger version of Kushina minus the whiskers on her cheeks and the bright blue eyes she got from her mother and grandfather.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shouts out in glee and she jumps from the pole to the roof. "Haha! You haven't changed at all!" She tells him and rubs the little girls head and introduces her to Kakashi. "This is Shina-chan, my daughter." She says and the man's eyes widen. "Wait! Oh yeah!" She starts rummaging through her pouch on her hip. "Hey! Hey! I have a present for you, Kakashi-sensei!" The man looks at her with wide eyes, still not comprehending that the little girl is Naruto's daughter.

"Whaaat?! You…h-how…th…this is…" Kakashi stutters out as Naruto holds out the newest book of Jiraiya's.

"This is the latest in the Icha Icha series after 3 years! It's really boring, but you'll still like it…I think!" Naruto said as the man is now enthralled by the cover of the book.

'Idiot…a kid like you wouldn't understand the beauty of that book…it's still an unreleased rare item too…' Jiraiya thought as he pouts and the child wiggles, making him put him down on the ground. He runs up and jumps up to join his sister and mother as they are talking to the man.

"So, are you a pervert like Gramps?" The little boy asks Kakashi as he jerked his eyes away from the cover of the book to jump back a little when he saw another little kid with black and blond hair staring at him with very familiar black eyes. "Hi, I'm sorry if I startled you, my name is Futarou Uchiha, and that's my little sister, Shina Uchiha."

"I think you might want to correct that, bud." Naruto stares at her son wryly.

"But it's too long, and don't you want us to share the same name as daddy?" He whines to his mother who sighs.

"I still have to decide if I want your last names to be the same as mine or your fathers." She said as she picked the two up and put them onto her hips, hopping down off of the roof with Kakashi following her.

"Umm…Naruto, when did you have them?" He asked her and she looks at him.

"I had them a little early considering they are twins so I would say seven months after I left here." She tells him and he sighs as he watches her put them down to start walking besides her, after she picks her bags up, making the other two carry their back packs.

"Does he know?" Kakashi asks as he starts following her with the book closed in front of him.

"You mean Sasuke?" She asks with a wry smile on her face. "How am I to tell him when I haven't seen him since he left me on the banks of the river? Looking at Futarou is the closest I will ever get to see his face, Kakashi." She tells him with a sad tone and tries to perk herself and the kids up. "Right! Next stop, straight to Ichiraku Ramen!" She shouts and the girl is the only one who gets excited while the boy shakes his head and rushes off after them.

"As promised, I'll leave Naruto back into your care…" Jiraiya tells him as they slowly walk behind the other three.

"Do you mind telling me why I wasn't told about the twins?" Kakashi asks the man with an irked expression in his eye.

"There's only a few of the village that even knows about the two, you do know they will have to be protected right?" When Kakashi raises his brow he smiles sadly and looks at the two kids. "The Kyuubi has told both me and Naruto while we were training after she gave birth to them, that they will be future Kyuubi holders." The man stops and Kakashi follows suit. "Now, don't get confused on me when I say that the Kyuubi will not be transferred to the two like we thought. It seems that Kyuubi's two oldest will be their contracted souls and are already inside of them as we speak." He sighs as he knows what else he is about to say to him will aggravate the man as well. "I fear Akatsuki has been growing impatient…they may make an attempt on Naruto soon…I'm going to head around and gather as much information as I can…" He stops taking a deep breath. "I brought them here to be protected since the Akatsuki do not have the knowledge about the tailed beasts inside of the twins, but that still doesn't mean that they will be unprotected. We never leave them alone without having a beast guardian guarding them. The fact that they are now the holders of three old families is another factor that we cannot overlook." The men start looking towards the three when Naruto screeches out.

"Sa…Sakura-chan?" Naruto stutters out when she saw the pink haired Kunoichi standing there.

"Eh? Naruto?!" Sakura points at the girl, who no longer sports pigtails. "How do I look? Do I look more like a woman now…?"

"You look fine! You haven't changed at all!" Naruto says and Sakura now takes in the appearance of the girl that she practically grew up with. She's a little bit taller than Sakura now and her hair is braided from her bangs up to the ponytail holder with one long braid dangling with the other strands that are free in the braid. Her blond hair has changed a lot since now it has a streak of red to it, which is the strand that is braided. What changed the most that she's noticed is that Naruto's hips are a lot wider with her bust size rivaling Tsunade's making the girl wonder why she's too small compared to Naruto.

"You've changed a lot more than I have, I see." Sakura says as she doesn't even notice the two kids who run straight over to Tsunade who swoops them up into her arms, hugging them tightly. "You've…you've gotten taller than me?!"

"Yeah…" Naruto says as she looks every so often at her kids out from the corner of her eye.

'Hmm…Naruto…you've become really strong since I last saw you…' Sakura thought as she smiles gently at her teammate.

"Naruto Neechan!" Konohamaru shouts to get her attention as he performs the seals to the Sexy Jutsu. His body transforms into a naked woman and Tsunade had to cover the children's eyes so that they wouldn't see as Naruto smacks him out of the Jutsu, making Jiraiya glare at her. "How was that?! A real drool of a Jutsu, wasn't it?!" He asks her as he rubs his head where she hit them, making Naruto giggle at him.

"Konohamaru, I'm sorry but I'm not a kid anymore. From now on, you shouldn't use that Jutsu either…" She says and the teen's eyes widen.

'So…Naruto hasn't just matured in appearance…this makes me feel a little sad. You really have become amazing…Naruto. I'm sure you've come back with a lot of great new Jutsu too, right…?' Sakura thought as she watched the girl.

"…at least don't do it in front of my kids, you moron!" She raises her voice up at the teen that follows Sakura's movements as their jaws drop and their eyes widen as they look around to finally see the two toddlers being held by Lady Tsunade. Sakura's eyes narrow as she punches Naruto, making the girl fly off with blood flowing out of her nose and mouth, as she didn't expect the pink haired girl to hit her. She grabs the girl by the front of her shirt that has changed greatly and is now a dark blue with orange stripes covering the top, while the bottom is orange with blue stripes. It is open with a black shirt underneath it, tight against her breasts.

"Why the hell do you have two kids, Naruto? I thought you loved Sasuke? Why would I ever stick up for you being with him if you end up getting pregnant while you were gone, idiot? What happened in the two years that you were gone?!" She shouts at her while shaking her. "What about that wonderful feeling of respect I had for you just now?! Ahh! I can't believe you cheated on Sasuke!"

"Hey, hey, Sakura, calm down…Konohamaru here's terrified…" He says as he has a shaking teenager standing behind him with a petrified look on his face. "Not counting the two that look like they want to kill you," he says pointing behind her at the two kids who are glaring at her with red eyes, making hers widen when she notices the little blond/black haired boy.

"He looks like…" She stopped her words when Tsunade shakes her head at her student.

"Jiraiya, I told you that it might be bad if Sakura didn't know…Yes, Sakura, these two are Naruto's and Sasuke's children," she tells her as she walks closer and closer to the two who are now calming down since they have seen their mother get up and wipe the blood off of her face, showing the steam that emits off of her cuts, healing them quickly.

'That beauty and strength…it would seem as though you've raised another Tsunade, no?' Jiraiya thinks as he slowly walks away from the girl.

"Right. The nostalgia ends here though. Kakashi," Tsunade says as she closes her eyes and puts the children down as he closes his book with a clap.

"Well…it's been a while, hasn't it?" He says as the two look at him. "From now on, the two of you will come with me on team-related missions. It's different than before. It's no longer teacher and pupil. Starting today, we're equal Konoha Shinobis," he tells them as he holds out the two bells, showing them. "Well…first I'm a bit curious as to how you've developed. The rules are the same as when I first met you two. If you don't come at me with the intent to kill, you will never succeed in getting the bells!" As he speaks the two start grinning at the man who is now fastening the bells to his waist band.

~3~

They decided to meet the next day at the same place that they did the same test, making sure that it was just Sakura and Naruto since Kakashi didn't want anything to happen to the two kids. "The rules are the same as before. No matter how, try to get the bells from me. You have until sunrise tomorrow."

"Well, this place…I've missed it," Naruto says as she looks around the area, not missing the three posts sticking out of the ground.

"Yeah," Sakura agrees.

"Ah, that's right; this is where you first trained, isn't it?" Kakashi says as he looks at the two with his new book opened.

"Team 7…" Sakura said as she looked down deep in thought.

"The three-man team…" Naruto's eyebrows furrow as she has a vision of Sasuke flashing inside of her mind.

"That time…Sasuke was around too, wasn't he…?" Kakashi asks, reminiscing about the years that passed. His eyes widen when he noticed how hard it hits the two that Sasuke is no longer with them. 'Sasuke's name is a taboo word for these two, huh…?' He thought as his expression turns exasperated and he closes his book, drawing Naruto's attention to him. "Well then, shall we begin?"

"Hehe…you won't do it while reading the book this time? Kakashi-Sensei," Naruto asks as she tightens her head band around her head.

"You've already finished it?" Sakura wondered as she adjusts her cloves with a grin on her face.

"No, I think I should save the enjoyment for later," he says as he rummages inside of his pouch. "Besides, this time, for some reason…" He raises his head band from his Sharingan activated eye. "I get the feeling I should take it a little seriously too." They stared at each other, gauging how exactly they should start when the bells clink on his hips, making Naruto throw some Shuriken at him, while he releases three of his own towards her. Kakashi ducks down to avoid hers while Naruto jumps over him and he decides to throw three more, causing Naruto to create a Shadow Clone to pull her real body out of the pathway of the spinning stars.

'Clever, she couldn't move in the air, so she used a Shadow Clone for movement!' Sakura observes with a smirk on her lips, watching as the girls clone then transforms into a huge Shuriken until Kakashi grabs her hand, halting her movements as he also grabs the back of the girls head, drawing the Shuriken closer to the back of her head. What startled the man was that the girl already thought of that happening and she already created another clone, who is now pointing a Kunai at his back.

'Her use of the Kage Bunshin, the very timing, clever.' He thought as he looks down at the girl. "Well, your haste hasn't changed…" Kakashi says as the girl giggles. 'You've matured, haven't you, Naruto…' He smiles down at the girl. "Alright, start!" He says and his clone disappears.

'Right, above…' Sakura starts looking everywhere. 'Left, behind, if he's not anywhere…' She balls up her fist really quick and shouts, "Below!" She hits the ground right in front of her causing it to break apart in huge chunks all in front of her, making Naruto's eyes widen in shock at the force the girl used.

'Wha…what insane power! The fifth, you didn't just teach Sakura medical Ninjutsu…did you…?' Kakashi thought as his eyes widen in shock.

"Found you!" Sakura says as she stares at the man.

'I should stop playing around in front of Sakura, she could kill me…!' Naruto thought as she stands behind the girl, watching.

'She builds up the maximum amount of Chakra in her fist, then releases it in an instant, without precise Chakra control, she couldn't do that. It's a real feat. Medical Ninjutsu plus amazing strength, no, that's not all. Because Sakura was originally a Genjutsu type…' He thought as the bells jingle from him climbing fully out of the rocks that were surrounding him. 'She may become an even better Ninja than the fifth…' He thought as he stands straight. "Alright, this time should I also do something on my end?"

~3~

As the hours went by, the two find themselves resting behind a tree, away from the eye sight of Kakashi. "I already knew it, but the Sharingan really is amazing, and not only that, his seal-making speed, it's too fast for me to follow…" Sakura pants out as she looks at Naruto from the corner of her eye. "If we could somehow stop him using both hands, we could get to the bells."

"Yeah, Kakashi-Sensei's unreasonably strong. He's smarter than Shikamaru, and he has a better sense of smell than Kiba, he has a better Sharingan than Sasuke, and better Taijutsu than Bushy Brows," Naruto says as she looks around the tree, keeping an eye out for the man.

"But even Kakashi-Sensei has to have a weak point…! If we think it over well…" She pauses as she notices that Naruto is thinking really hard on this.

Meanwhile, Kakashi is keeping a look out with his Sharingan for the two. 'Hmm, using the Sharingan this much, if I use it, soon I'll run out of stamina, that's my weakness…' Kakashi thinks as he crouches in some bushes right behind a thick trunk of a tree.

"Ah, he has…a weak point…!" Naruto says out loud in a quiet voice making Sakura look straight at her.

"Re…really…?!" She asks.

"Hahaha, Sakura-chan! If you really think back about how Kakashi-Sensei's been until now, you'll understand…" Naruto says as she giggles.

"Stop being such a know-it-all Naruto, what's the weak point?!" Sakura shouts at the girl.

"Heeheehee, well, it's…" Naruto giggles as she tells the girl.

'But, their growth is brilliant, I shouldn't be so cheerful…Maybe I should be on the lookout for signs of how they'll approach…' Kakashi thought as he looks all around him, trying to figure out where they will come at him from.

"Of course…! I can't believe he has a weak point like that…!" Sakura shouts out in glee and leans closer to her teammate. "In…in that case, while we force his hands up, if we're clever, maybe we can be protected from his Sharingan too! If we take that chance…Naruto, you really are the number 1 most unpredictable person!"

"If we prepare like that, we can win with the initiative. Let's get going!" Naruto tells the pink haired girl.

"Right! Let's go!" Sakura says and they start rushing towards where they think Kakashi might hide.

'They're here!' The man notices that they are rushing straight at him. 'They really have to be joking, making a direct attack…'

"Now, Naruto!" Sakura shouts to her.

"Let's go! Kakashi-Sensei!" She shouts as she gets closer to the man, whose eyes widen. "The last joke in Icha Icha tactics...! The truth is that the main character…"

'Wha…what?!" The man's eyes widen when he realizes that she's about to tell him the plot of the new book that he got from Jiraiya, so he covers his ears. 'Oh, oh no!' Then he realized another factor, 'Dammit! Because of the Sharingan, I might know what she says from her lip movements!' He shouts in his mind and squeezes his eyes shut tightly, making the jingling sound from the bells drawing his attention, he turns around.

"Hehe, a Ninja should look underneath the underneath." Naruto says as she holds up one of the bells.

"Right, Sensei?!" Sakura says to him as well as throwing him a peace sign with one hand while her other jingles the bell in her hand.

~3~

"Well, you have become strong, huh? I'm amazed you were actually able to get the bells." Kakashi tells them as they were walking through Konoha.

"Hehe! Maybe I've even surpassed you, Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto suggests as she looks at him over her shoulder.

"What are you saying? Such conceit…" Sakura shakes her head at the girl.

"Haha, but anyway. I'm still young, and recently, I developed a brilliant new Jutsu…" Kakashi brags with a closed eye as Naruto's stomach growls.

"Ah! Yeah! We haven't gone home or to Ichiraku Ramen yet!" Naruto says while rubbing her grumbling stomach.

"Yeah, I'm a bit hungry after training from yesterday too…" Sakura says to her as Kakashi is looking at the two with sad eyes.

'Back then, they'd react to every little thing. They were cute back then…' He thought while sighing.

"Right! It'll be Kakashi-Sensei's treat!" Naruto suggests to the girl.

"Alright! Sensei!" Sakura shouts and turns to the man.

"Sorry. I have to create and submit a list of formations of the new teams. So it's goodbye for now," he tells them as he disappears before their eyes.

"Ahh! He ran away!" Naruto shouted while looking at the cloud of smoke he left behind.

"Saying something like that, he's just thinking to continue reading the book, probably…" Sakura tells her.

"Hehe, so, the two of us are on our own, with no man to escort us, how about we go in halvesies…" Naruto starts saying then Sakura interrupts.

"Ok, but it's all your treat!" She tells her and the girl frowns when she looks inside her almost empty Froggy purse. Shikamaru starts walking towards them with Tamari walking besides him.

"Shikamaru! Tamari-san! Hey! Who do you think it is?!" She shouts to get their attention, while pointing at Naruto.

"Hey! If it isn't Naruto!" Shikamaru shouts with a grin on his face.

"Shikamaru!" Naruto shouts back gleefully.

'This girl, is that runt…?' Tamari thinks as she noticed the big change in the girl.

"Did you just come home then?" Shikamaru asks.

"No, I came back yesterday," Naruto tells them as she gives him a hug.

"Hehe, so has any of your idiocy left you? And have you changed? Well?" Shikamaru asks.

"No, she hasn't changed at all," Sakura says while waving her hand back and forth. "She did have two kids though."

"Sakura-chaaaaaan!" Naruto whines at the girl.

"Oh, I know," Shikamaru tells her and her jaw drops.

"So, are you on a date?" Naruto asks him in a quiet tone with a sneer on her lips.

"That's not it," he tells her as Tamari walks closer to them.

"You're joking. Why would I go out with such a…There's a Chuunin exam soon. I'm just going back and forth between the Sand and the Leaf for meetings." Tamari explains as she negates even liking Shikamaru even though Naruto knows otherwise.

"And it's troublesome, but I've become an examiner, so, I was told to go and see off the messengers from the Sand," he tells her.

"A Chuunin exam…? That brings back memories…" Naruto says as she looks off into space.

"Yeah!...and Naruto, what are you planning?" Sakura asks her.

"What do you mean?" She wonders what the girls getting at.

"What, you say, it's a Chuunin exam. The only one from our class who hasn't become a Chuunin is you," she says and Shikamaru and Tamari shake their heads at the girl.

"No she isn't," Tamari tells her.

"She's right, Naruto took it a few months after she had the twins," Shikamaru says and Sakura's eyes widen.

"What?! He knows about them?" She complains and then realizes what was said, "How the heck did you manage that?"

"She took it when me and Gaara were doing ours," Tamari said, "Kankuro already took it on the next one after all of that happened, but since I was on a mission and Gaara was getting trained to control the one tail better we couldn't join him."

"That still doesn't explain how you both knew about Naruto having Sasuke's kids," Sakura whines.

"That's because it was us that protected her along with a few other people in the last legs of her pregnancy and labor," Shikamaru tells her like it was no big deal. "Where is the little rug rats anyway?"

"They're spending time with Granny since she hasn't seen them in six months," Naruto tells him and Tamari looked excited when she hears this.

"So you mean that I get to see them?" She says as she starts bouncing on her toes.

"Yeah, sure. They are probably bugging Granny into teaching them a new Jutsu again," when she says this Shikamaru slaps his hand to his head and Sakura's jaw drops.

"Wait a minute; just how much do they know how to do, now?" She wonders as she thinks of the fact that the kids are both Naruto's and Sasuke's meaning they will be brilliant geniuses before they even went into the academy.

"I lost count," Naruto tells her and she looks at her. "The last Jutsu they learned completely was the one Gaara taught them after his ceremony to become Kazekage."

~3~

Naruto and the twins are eating lunch with Iruka-Sensei at Ichiraku Ramen, much to the dismay of Futarou who would rather have Udon instead of Ramen. Thankfully for the little boy, Ichiraku asked him what he wanted and even decided to whip him up some, just for him. "I can't believe that you have already done the Chuunin exams, I thought you were the only one who hasn't yet."

"Nah, Ero Sennin said that it might be best if I at least gotten even stronger and in his opinion going for the Chuunin would be the best. He wanted to make sure that I would be able to protect the twins even though we taught them as much while training, when they started to learn to walk," Naruto said as she swallowed her mouthful of noodles, grinning down at Shina as she hums and bounces on her stool while slurping down her noodles. "I can say that Ero Sennin has no mercy even for the twins!" She wiggled her headband up and down, "This head protector you gave me, too. The cloth got all worn out. So I got it replaced along with my clothes that were also worn out!"

"But because of that amazing training you've gotten a lot stronger, right? You should be happy about that right?" Iruka said and closes his full mouth when Shina and Futarou glare at him.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," they said in unison.

"Yeah! I'm probably stronger than you now, Iruka-Sensei!" She says as she grins down at the twins.

"What are you talking about?! I wouldn't lose just yet…" He tells her.

"Ah, that's right! I went to visit Gaara a few days before he was given the Kazekage title; he was shocked with the twins and ended up teaching them a new Jutsu!" She tells him and he grins while looking at the two who were now busy finishing up their meals.

"Yeah…that boy's a little special, you know?" He tells her while watching the two takes their last bites at the same time.

~3~

"You're late!" Naruto shouts at Kakashi, while the kids give him the stink eye.

"Well, this time I was delayed by filling out the paperwork for the new team…" He tells them as he rubs his head. "Why are the twins here?"

"Today we start our first mission as a new team!" Naruto says with a frown and looks down at the two. "There's no one that is strong enough to watch them since Granny is busy today so they will have to go on the mission with us, but don't worry, they're strong enough to take care of themselves not counting," she stops herself as she creates hand signs and summons two huge foxes that immediately wrap themselves around the two. "We have extra protection for them. You need to be more enthusiastic that we're going on a mission together again!"

"Oh, let it go! There's nothing he can do about the fact that he has a face devoid of any enthusiasm!" Sakura tells her and Kakashi glares at the girl.

'I'm…losing my dignity, aren't I?' He thought, and then looks to the sky as a fast flying messenger hawk flies up above.

~3~

The three are standing before Granny Tsunade and Naruto's face twists in displeasure. "Ehhh! That mission…no thanks!" She refuses.

"Eh?! What kind of response is that? Well?!" Tsunade asks as Futarou is sitting on her lap writing on a piece of paper.

'Please don't talk to selfishly, she'll get angry at me…' Kakashi pleads to the girl inside of his head.

"Gah, Naruto, you haven't mentally matured at all, have you?" Iruka asks, while rubbing his head with one hand while the other is balancing Shina on his lap, the two are flanked by the two huge foxes.

"Sor…sorry, Sensei! I'll sort her out!" Sakura says while grabbing the girl around the neck and giving her a noogie. 'I…idiot! You have no idea how terrible the fifth can be when saying those kinds of things…Gaaaragh!' Her inner person says with tears pouring down her face. Shina jumps down off of Iruka's lap and walks over to the two, looking up at Sakura she draws back her foot and kicks the girl in the leg, hard enough to make her fall but loose her grip around Naruto. "What the hell?!" She shouts as she glares back at the little girl.

"Don't you ever abuse my mommy again!" She yells out loud to the girl as she points her finger out enough to poke Sakura on her forehead. "Oceanic sized forehead!"

"Why you little!" Sakura growls out not noticing the winces that Iruka and Tsunade have on their faces when the girl almost touches the little girl, the huge fox gets up in a hurry to roar in Sakura's face, making her face pale.

"The third was more…sensible…" Naruto tells Tsunade as she rubs her neck while ignoring the others.

"Huh?! What did you say?!" Tsunade raises her voice to the girl, while handing a piece of paper to Kakashi.

"Hey, calm down!" Naruto says while walking closer to the older woman's desk. "I'm just tired of you treating me like I'm a Genin, which you do all the time even though I'm almost finished with the requirements to become a Jounin." The door slams open and a woman quickly enters shouting.

"It…it's bad! Fifth!" She stops, panting.

"What is it? You are so loud…" Tsunade tells her as she stares at her.

"The sand's Kazekage has been taken by an organization called Akatsuki! We just received the message!" The woman shouts, causing the team to stiffen up.

'Gaara…? Those guys again…?' Naruto thought about the two that came after her when she was looking for Tsunade.

"Right, team Kakashi, I will tell you your new mission." Tsunade said as she put the mission paper she was about to hand the team. "You are to go immediately to the Sand, find out the situation, and relay it to Konoha, after that, follow the orders of the Sand and back them up."
