Chapter 1: Return to Konoha

(A/N) In this story when Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Yamato went to retrieve Sasuke he was glad to see them and joined them quickly to escape the clutches of Orochimaru.

"It's great to finally have you home Sasuke!" A certain hyperactive blonde ninja shouted just as they entered the front gates of Konoha.

"Hn," Sasuke replied in his monotonous voice ", I'm just glad you guys got me away from that creepy snake bastard, he gave me the power and training but one night I overhear him talking to that silver-haired freak Kabuto about how he was almost ready to take my body."

The two Chuunin on duty at the gates immediately got in a defensive stance as they saw the 'traitor' enter the gates.

"It's okay, he's with us." Captain Yamato explained to the guards.

As they continued to cross through the village people were giving them off looks about bringing Sasuke into the village. Eventually Sakura spoke up for the first time since they'd hit the road.

"Won't the civilian council disapprove of this?"

"Hmm I would think not, they love their 'precious Uchiha' I highly doubt they'd get rid of me.

"Well let's hope so." She replied.

10 minutes later.

Although they did not show it, the civilian council was glad they had not lost the Uchiha boy to Orochimaru, they thought of him as a valuable solider. Tsunade, the current Hokage was not as pleased but was relieved that he wasn't used as a vessel for Orochimaru. She wasn't happy that he returned because he had nearly killed Naruto but she convinced himself she could forgive him.

Tsunade had called Tam Kakashi plus Sasuke into her office.

"Sasuke," Tsunade spoke loudly, "I'll have you put on probation from missions for a week so you can receive a physical and mental check-ups at the hospital and eventually I'll have some missions for the reunited Team 7."

"Hai, Hokage-sama." He replied softly.

1 and a half weeks later.

Naruto woke up to a loud banging on his front door.

"Ano…Naruto, you in there?"

Damn, it was Sai. Now, Sai didn't have a knack for social conduct and therefore he simply hit the door loudly until whomever was inside responded. Eventually Naruto swung the door open, his hair messy and his eyelids drooping.

"What is it Saaaaai?" Naruto responded he didn't particularly know why he dragged "Saaaaai's" name out like that but he was so tired he didn't bother questioning it.

"Well, ano… I heard the Hokage yelling in her office to the rest of your team about how many times you "Are so fucking late."

"Oh shit!" He remembered he was getting his first mission since the retrieval of Sasuke today at 8:00am and it was 8:24am.

He slammed the door and hurriedly got dressed into his normal black and orange jumpsuit (The usual Shippuden one). He bolted out the door past Sai before he had even turned around to leave and sped down the street at speeds that would put Lee and Gai to shame. He busted into the office 26 and a half minutes late for his mission and acted as if he was there the whole time and asked.

"Hey Baa-chan what's the hold up?"

Wrong words.

He was sent fly back across the room leaving a nice Naruto shaped hole I the door. Several minutes later he entered the room clearly in pain.

"Why do you always gotta hit me so hard Baa-… I mean Tsunade."

"Because of what you almost just said gaki." She loved him like her own son but occasionally he pissed her off.

"Well then," Kakashi spoke," What's our mission then?"

Simple, Iwagakure has been manning forces at our border some of or Hyuuga scouts reported seeing at least 10 squads of 3 setting up individual camps we hope they are just checking for our own troops but it seems as if they are planning an ambush on some of the small towns near the border, we want you to check it it and if it seems the slightest bit suspicious plant explosive tags around their camps at nightfall.

"Hai." All four ninja answered simultaneously.

"We will meet at the front gate in 15 minutes, everybody pack your things."
