RECAP: "Are you two still fighting." Naruto asked and practically yelled. "Come on ill treat you two to ramen, one of the perks of being Hokage, I get free ramen!" Naruto said while dragging them to the nearest ramen stand.

Chapter 2: Naruto's Plans
Naruto sat in the Hokage's office trying to think up devious plans to make his two best friends because friends again. Sigh why do they both have to be so stubborn! Naruto was scribbling down his first plan when he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in." Naruto said not looking up from his plan at work
"Oh um gomen Naruto-kun are you busy right now?" Hinata said from the door way.
"No come on in what did you need Hinata-chan." Naruto said making Hinata blush she still couldn't get over the fact that he called her Hinata-Chan.
"Well you summoned me."
"Oh yeah I almost forgot, I was wondering if you would let me take you out to dinner tomorrow night?" Naruto said while for the first time looking up from his plan. Hinata turned a deep scarlet red. "Uh Hinata-chan are you ok?" Naruto said and started to walk towards her. He put his hand on her forehead making her faint. Naruto then picked her up bridal style and was going to take her to Sakura's house, now would be the best time to put Sasuke Sakura Friendship Revival into action. Naruto approached Sakura's apartment but not before stopping and talking with a shady looking figure.
Sakura was just about to head out of her apartment when she heard a knock on her door. She opened it to see Naruto holding an unconscious Hinata in his arms.
"Naruto you baka what did you do to her!" Sakura yelled and quickly grabbed Hinata from his grasps and laid her down on her couch.
"Nothing Sakura-chan, i only asked her out on a date and she got really sick!" Naruto yelled in his defense.
"She will be fine but i have to go meet my team for practice, so you stay here with her and don't touch anything." Sakura said as she walked towards the door. Five minutes after Sakura left Naruto quickly scribbled down a note for Hinata if she woke up while he was gone and left to go find Sasuke.
When Sakura reached the training pitch she wasn't surprised that they were waiting for her.
"You late." Yuri said
"I'm sorry I had an emergency with the Hokage, but lets get started. Today we are going to work on-" Sakura started but stopped when she heard a kunai flying towards her. She quickly turned around and knocked the kunai out of its path.
"Come on out and show yourself." Sakura yelled in the direction that the kunai was thrown from. A shadowy figure came out and immediately surged up a chakra ball similar to the Rasengan and the Chidori but Sakura could tell that it wasn't either of them. She was preparing to block he worst from this ball when the figure ran past her and went towards her team. Sakura mentally cursed and ran to get in front on her team, she just barely made it, but suffered a direct hit. The man then jumped back into the shadows. Sakura got back onto her feet was desperately trying to heal herself but it seems that she had the chakra sucked from her.
Naruto was searching different training pitches until he finally found Sasuke and his team practicing.
"Hey Sasuke-teme come here." Naruto yelled across the field.
"What do you want dope cant you see that I'm busy." Sasuke yelled back.
"Just get over here now."
"Why cant it wait?"
"Because I'm the Hokage and you have to listen to me." Naruto yelled back finishing the argument. Oh how he enjoyed being Hokage. Sasuke appeared next to him in a madder of seconds.
"What do you want Naruto." Sasuke said slightly irritated.
"Just come on." Naruto said while walking off. Sasuke followed but not before telling his team that practice was over for the day.
"Where are we going." Sasuke asked.
"To my office." Naruto lied he just needed Sasuke to walk past Sakura's team training. As they both got closer they heard and saw a loud crash, they both saw Sakura take a direct hit in order to protect her team. Sasuke looked at Naruto and then ran off towards Sakura he saw her trying to heal herself but something seemed to be wrong, she didn't seem to have any chakra left. He saw her attacker charge up another attack and was getting ready to hit her again, one more hit was deadly.
Sakura desperately tried to grab a kunai from her pouch while her team just stood there paralyzed with fear. Sakura closed her eyes and waited for the next hit but it never came, when she opened her eyes she saw the all to familiar Uchiha clan symbol, she looked up to see raven hair, Sasuke had come to save her and had deflected the attack. He looked around for Naruto but didn't see him anywhere, figures he would leave this to me to handle. Sasuke was pulled from his thoughts when the attacker came at him again this time he made some hand signs and charged up his chidori. Both balls of energy met, but his chidori greatly out did this mysterious attackers charge. After being slightly hit from Sasuke's chidori, the man sunk back into the shadows retreating. Sasuke then took this opportunity to turn towards Sakura and her team.
"Are you kids ok." He said looking at the three kids. They just nodded and Miki looked at him with dreamy eyes. He then turned his gaze down to the kunoichi at his feet.
"Figures i would have to come save you like i always do." Sasuke said and bent down to help Sakura up she just pushed his hand away and barely managed to stand on her own.
"I don't need help from you." Sakura yelled and as she said that she lost her balance and was about to fall again when Sasuke caught her. She pushed on his chest to get him to release her, but he didn't he just picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.
"Practice is over go home." Was all Sasuke said as he walked with Sakura thrown over his shoulder.
"Put me down where are you taking me." Sakura yelled while pushing and kicking him.
"I'm just taking you home now relax before i knock you out." Sasuke yelled.
"I didn't need your help back there but i guess you just needed to boost your already huge ego a couple more points." Sakura yelled as they reached her apartment.
"Fine Sakura, next time ill just leave you and your team to die." Sasuke yelled back.
Naruto was sitting in Sakura's apartment waiting for Hinata to wake up, when he heard two familiar voices yelling. He sighed his first plan failed. Sasuke then entered her house still yelling and Sakura yelling at the same time. He was surprised to see Naruto and Hinata there.
"Where did you go dope?" Sasuke yelled when throwing Sakura down on the couch across from Hinata.
"Well i forgot i needed to watch Hinata here." Naruto said
"You left Hinata! What would have happened if she would have taken a turn for the worst." Sakura yelled
"I'm sorry, Sakura-chan I just really needed to talk to Sasuke-teme." Naruto replied. After all the yelling Hinata finally awoke and looked around to see three pairs of eyes looking at her.
"Where am I, Naruto-kun" Hinata asked while looking around.
"Your in my house." Sakura said. "You fainted in Naruto's office and he brought you here." Hinata blushed and apologized numerous times. Soon Sasuke left and then Hinata and Naruto leaving Sakura to her thoughts. Well I'm surprised he even helped me today, i would have thought that he would have left me there to die. Sakura then left to go see if she could find her team to get practice going again, after all she was feeling way better now. She went to each of their respective houses and found all three of them easily.
"So Sakura-sensei, is that hot guy who saved you your boyfriend?" Miki asked with a gleam in her eyes.
"No hes not she just used to be on my team when we were younger and i wouldn't go so far as to call him hot, i mean come on look at his hair style it looks like a chickens butt." Sakura said making herself giggle a bit.
"Miki you should be focusing on improving your abilities not worrying about guys who are way to old for you." Kenji said making Miki look down at the ground.
"You know Miki when i was your age, that guy who saved me was the only person i thought about and i dreamed of the door that we would get married, but things will change, and don't let people like Kenji here put you down. But he is right now is not the time to think about boys. Now come on let work on your taijutsu." Sakura said while pumping her fist in the air. "Ok now all three of you come at me at once." They all tried different tactics on Sakura but nothing seemed to be getting to her.
"Ok who can tell me why all of you three combined failed to hit me." Sakura said. They all stayed quiet. "TEAM WORK!" Sakura yelled while slapping Yuri on his back making him cough. " Now i want all of you to go over there under that tree and work out a plan that using teamwork to attack me only using taijutsu to hurt me." Sakura said and the three went off.
"Ok So if we each hit from different directions it should work." Yuri said.
"We don't need Miki though, she will just get in the way." Kenji said while shooting a glare at her making her look down to the ground.
"Don't be dumb Kenji, Sakura-sensei wants us to use teamwork, we will be at it all day if Miki doesn't help." Yuri said making Miki smile. Maybe Yuri wasn't as bad as everyone thought he was.
" I have an idea how about i make a clone of myself and attack Sakura-sensei with my clone first and then when she dodges that attack her." Miki said.
"Yeah good idea Miki, out of all the people she will probably suspect you least." Yuri said. With that statement they were off to attack Sakura. Yuri was the first to attack Sakura easily dodged his attack then Kenji but since Sakura had trained with Neji numerous times she knew how to avoid his attack. All that was left was Miki. Miki did a frontal attack which Sakura rolled her eyes at didn't what she said mean anything to the group? Didn't they form some sort of plan? Sakura dodged Miki's attack and was about to tell them off for not listening to her when she saw Miki's clone poof. She looked to her right and before she could hit the ground to dodge again Miki hit her with a punch across the face. Sakura was stunned.
"Good job team when you first started attacking i was worried that what i said didn't sink in to your thick skulls but it seemed it had." Sakura said with a small smile. She was about to go treat them to some lunch when Kakashi poofed up next to her.
"Oh hello Kakashi-sensei." Sakura said with a giant smile.
"Its Kakashi now Sakura were equals remember that."
"Sorry Kakashi, old habits die hard i guess. Is there a reason you came out to see me?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah you and your team are being summoned to the Hokage's office." Kakashi replied
"Ok thanks Kakashi, Come on." Sakura said and both Sakura and Kakashi poofed away.
"It would have been nice of her to wait for us she knows we cant teleport like that yet." Kenji said while rolling his eyes. The three genin then took off at a face pace towards the Hokage's office. Five minutes later they arrived at the tower with Sasuke's team.
"What are you doing here Sasuke." Sakura said with a hint of malice in her voice.
" Kakashi told me i was summoned, Haruno." Sasuke replied. Sakura just rolled her eyes and walked into the Hokage's office, her team, Sasuke's team, and Sasuke followed.
"Thanks for coming Team Sakura, Team Sasuke." Naruto said while nodding in each of their directions. " I can assume that you guys know that your here because your being sent on your first missions as a team."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." the three genin replied.
"As you know we are short on Chuunin and Jounin right now but we have an abundance of Genin, since you have two of the best Jounin leaders and you genin had some of the best scores in the academy i will be sending you on a C-class mission." Naruto said while handing Sakura a mission scroll.
"You need to locate this artifact and guard it from any robbers. This is a C-class mission because there is almost a 100 chance of you guys encountering ninja who also want this artifact for themselves. Are there any questions" Naruto asked
"No i think we got it." Sasuke replied
"Ok you will be leaving tomorrow at seven A.M sharp please do not be late. Your Dismissed" Naruto said. Everyone then left the Hokage's office except for Sakura.
"You sounded so professional when you gave us our mission." Sakura said with a small smile.
"I know did i sound so cool." Naruto said with a giant smile and then he flopped his feet onto his desk. Sakura just laughed at his stupidity.
"So whats going on with you and Hinata, did you two finally decide to get together?" Sakura asked.
"Well i have this feeling that she might like me but I'm not positive that why i asked her out and she did say yes, so i guess that means she likes me." Naruto said.
"Naruto you can be so dense sometimes, but hey why did you assign the mission to me and Sasuke why not me and shikamaru or someone else?" Sakura asked.
"You were the only teams I hadn't assigned a mission to yet, sorry Sakura i know you don't get along with Sasuke all that great but the mission shouldn't take to long." Naruto replied.
"Oh I see anyways I'm going to head back to my apartment to get ready for tomorrow's mission see ya around blondie." Sakura said but not before ruffling his hair. Sakura was on her way back to her apartment when she was pushed up against a brick wall.
"What the hell." was all Sakura could say before her mouth was covered with Sasuke's.
"Sasuke-kun!" another girl yelled when she saw them, this then made the girl turn around and stomped off. Even after the girl left Sasuke continued to kiss her.
"What are you doing get off of me." Sakura mumbled into his lips desperately trying not to kiss him back. He soon let go of her.
"I'm umm sorry I just needed your help and then I'm not sure." Sasuke mumbled out.
"What ever just don't ever do that again." Sakura said while stomping off leaving Sasuke to his thoughts. Whats wrong with me there were plenty of other girls that could have helped me why did I have to kiss her. To make matters worse I actually liked kissing her, I don't get it i hate that girl. Sasuke thought while he was walking home to his own apartment to sleep off his troubles.
