Team 7 Minus Kakashi.

"What!" screamed Naruto. "You're telling me that we're going to do a mission without Kakashi-sensei??!"

"Shut up, you total moron," said Sasuke.

"You dumb nut Sasuke! Who's going to lead us? You? Said Naruto.

Sasuke opened his mouth to reply, but thought the better of it, as Sakura came running over.

"Sasuke-kun!" Called Sakura. "You're in charge right. Are we ---."

"WHAT???!!" shouted Naruto, "SASUKE IS IN CHARGE OF THE MISSION?! What is that masked perverted lecher thinking? Putting Sasuke in charge.......I should be leading!"

"Idiot! If you so badly want to be in charge then you can be!"

"I will then dumb nut!"

"OK then! Which way do we go??!!"

"We have to go-----!"

At that point Naruto shut up in mid sentence. "What mission are we on anyway?" thought Naruto. He looked up to see Sakura's fist coming straight at his face. The sound of the impact sent the birds out of their trees in alarm.

"Well done, Sakura," said Sasuke, as Naruto's head smashed into the ground. "That moron needed that."

"Are you really going to let him lead Sasuke-kun?" said Sakura as she thought. "Letting Naruto lead would be a disaster. He's lame and he's as dumb as a log"

"Yeah, if he gets too stupid, you can always punch him again."

"Wouldn't each hit lower his IQ?"

"He's dumber than a rock anyway," said Sasuke. "Anyway, we'd probably better get packed up while he's snoring, I'll get his backpack too."
