TEAMWORK

*After Sauske comes back to the Leaf Village he and his team mates(Old and New) are having quite a few problems with team work, so Tsunade, being the genius she is, comes up with the perfect plan(More of a punishment really.) The only question now is: Will all of them kill each other before they learn to get along, or will they work together to make their team stronger?

*This is my first story so please be nice about the reviews, if you see something I need to fix I will be more than happy to fix it, just please don't be rude about it. :)

Training Grounds 6:00AM...

Sauske was the first to arrive at the training grounds this morning, he was always eager to train and spar, unfortunetly his three other team mates did not share his enthusiasm. Sakura arrived about ten minutes later with Sai right behind her, they both mumbled a quick "Hello" to Sauske who replied with his usual "Hn". Three hours later Naruto had yet to make an appearance at the training grounds and Kakashi was nowhere to be found, the three teamates that were there were starting to get frustrated and angry when Naruto finally decided to show up. Walking up to them in his usual carefree manner he shouted an excited "GOOD MORNING" to his three fellow teamates oblivious as usual to their equally angry faces.

Sakura predictably was the first one to finally lose control of her temper, "Where the HELL have you been you IDIOT! You were supposed to be here three hours ago, do you have any idea how long we have been waiting here for you?" Naruto, being Naruto, gave the wrong answer to this question, "Sakura, I had things to do. Why didn't you just train without me if you were in a hurry?" By this time the veins on Sakura's forehead were standing out and smoke was coming out of her ears, "You GIANT IDIOT, Kakashi sensei told us that we had to train together in order to build teamwork as well as to rebuild our trust again, have you forgotten?" Naruto shook his head,"Oh right, well you could just tell him that we trained together couldn't you Sakura? I mean it's not like there's anything wrong with MY team work, it's Sauske and Sai's fault it's all messed up."

"THAT'S IT." Sakura yelled and the next thing Naruto knew he was flying threw the air to smash into a tree five hundred yards away. "IDIOT" Sakura mumbled.

Sauske was the next to lay into Naruto about being late, "Just what did you have to do that was more important than our training dobe?" Sauske asked with his usual impassive face and tone. "Uh, well I wanted to eat ramen for breakfast and the shop doesn't open till eight and then it took me an hour to eat, so that's why I was three hours late" Naruto stated in an innocent tone. "WHAT, you were eating ramen! That's why you were late?" Sakura shouted, but before she could say anything more Sauske said, "Shut up Sakura, I was talking to him." Naruto was angry that Sauske would talk to Sakura that way, plus he saw the hurt expression on her face when Sauske said that, "Hey TEME, don't you talk to her that way!", Naruto shouted. Sauske just looked at Naruto and said, "What are you going to do about it DOBE?" Naruto narrowed his eyes at Sauske,"What did you just say to me? he asked. "Hard of hearing idiot? I asked what you were going to do about it." Sauske replied in a bored tone. Naruto clenched his fists, "I'm gonna kick your ass TEME!" And with that Naruto punched Sauske in the nose, blood went flying everywhere and the next thing you knew the two of them were rolling around on the ground trying to kill each other while Sai and Sakura looked on in horror.

Sakura and Sai were trying to pull the two of them apart before the sensei arrived which could be at any moment now, unfortunatly Naruto and Sauske were not in the mood to participate. Sauske punched Sai in the stomache when he tried to pull him off of Naruto which resulted in Sai punching Sauske in the face, that started a fight between the two of them, and since they had never really liked each other anyway this fight was even worse than the one he and Naruto had been having. Sauske and Sai both drew their swords and began dualing to see who the better swordsman was. Meanwhile still on the ground Naruto and Sakura were also engaged in a fight now, before when Sai had pulled Sauske off of Naruto he had tried to pull Sauske's hair but unfoutunatly had ended up pulling Sakura's instead, which had resulted in an all out war starting between Naruto and Sakura because he had pulled her hair.

An hour later that was how their sensei found them...Sai and Sauske were both sweaty and bleeding from cuts they had gotten from each other swords and Naruto and Sakura were still rolling around on the ground punching the daylights out of each other, they were both black and blue by this time. Kakashi could not believe his eyes, he knew their teamwork hadn't been that great since Sauske got back, but it had never gotten THIS bad before. "ENOUGH" he roared. All four of his students stopped dead and stared at him in horror, they couldn't believe they had let him catch them like this, but it was too late to do anything about it now. "Sensei?" Naruto asked hesitintly. "SILENCE" Kakashi said. "I can't believe you guy's what on earth did you think you were doing?" he asked. Nobody had an answer for him they just stared at him with ashamed face's, except for Sauske who's face was blank as usual. "No answer? FINE, we'll just see what Lady Tsunade has to say about this latest developement in your team work. Let's go." They all groaned because they knew what was coming, but they followed their sensei just the same. They all had a bad feeling about what Lady Tsunade would say about this latest developement.
