Just then Sakura showed up and immediately sauntered over to Sasuke without even bothering to speak to the other two boys. Since Sasuke had returned all the progress she had made on her own had seem to vanish into thin air and she was once again the dumb fan girl. Fortunately for them Kakashi arrived half an hour later and they left for the b-ranked mission. Threw- out the course of the mission, it was as if Sasuke had never left. Kakashi openly praised him or rather kissed ass, Sakura continued her useless flirting and they all ignored Naruto except for Sai. Sasuke noticed too but since it was always that way he didnt really say anything, partly because it was normal for him to get all the unwanted attention and partly for getting back at Naruto for ignoring him. Naruto had even gotten quieter as the mission went on but they still didnt notice. It was the second mission that everything began on a downward spiral.

The mission was actually supposed to be a four day mission. They would be escorting a rich businessman and his daughter to a nearby village. They had traveled threw the first day with Naruto being unusually quiet and when he did speak, it was only to the clients and Sai. Sakura didn't notice since she was too busy hitting on Sasuke and Kakashi was just happy that his favorite was back and had no time for Naruto, not that that was unusual.

"Lets stop here." Said Kakashi when they reached a good camping spot.

Everyone nodded and began unpacking their tents. Naruto and Sai had one large tent that Naruto had brought for the two of them. They quickly worked together to set it up and then they went over to the clients and helped them get theirs together much to the clients delight. They had surprised the other teammates of this since they hadn't even considered helping them or bothered to offer. When they were done they walked back over to their lazy teammates.

"I'm gonna go get some firewood." said told them.

"I'm gonna go catch some dinner." Naruto said to Kakashi.

"Are you sure dobe, you were never very good at fishing so maybe I should go." Sasuke said mockingly.

"Sasuke is so good at everything." Sakura said proudly.

Naruto glared. "A lot has changed since you ran away from the village teme." He said coldly before walking off with Sai.

Their three teammates thought it was odd but shrugged it off.

"Naruto is such a loser." Sakura said rudely. "Unlike you Sasuke." she gushed.

Kakashi just continued to read his book , ignoring them. Sasuke frowned at what Naruto had said and the fact that he had left with Sai. He hated the fact that they were friends and that Sai had seemed to take his place in every way. In his opinion, those two were a little too close for comfort. Even though he had done all the things he had including almost killing his lover, he had always taken it for granted that Naruto would forgive him and take him back. To find that he had been replaced by his annoying look-a-like was too much.

Half and hour later Naruto came back with seven large fish, some herbs and four rabbits. He had used his enhanced senses and skills to help him but only Sai knew that. Sai had also returned with lots of firewood and had made a fire and was waiting for him. The others were surprised by how fast he had caught their meal but only the clients complimented them.

Naruto began preparing the meal and had already cleaned them when he caught them, again shocking the others. To everyone but Sais' surprise, he stuffed the herbs into the meat before cooking it and when it was all done it was extremely delicious. They all ate and had enough left for breakfast the next day, much to the others delight. Naruto and Sai just ignored them, there only interest was in each other and the clients. As soon as they were all done Sai and Naruto stood up.

"Sai and I will take first watch." Naruto told Kakashi.

"Why do you need help just standing guard usuratonkachi, don't you even know how to do that by yourself?" Sasuke said spitefully.

Everyone looked at Naruto to see what he would say to that, including the clients.

"Well teme," Naruto snarled . " this is a b-ranked mission so the chances of us being attacked are high, especially since I'm here and the Akatsuki is on the move. It makes sense to have two people on the look-out instead of one. I could use my clones but even if they are attacked and dispelled, it takes a few seconds for the info to come to me. In a ninjas life especially in times like these every second is crucial. Maybe if you had spent less time running off and more time learning , you would actually know that." he told him coldly before storming off with a smirking Sai.

"Hn." sasuke grunted. "Who does he think he is talking to me that way." he said glaring angrily.

"What he says does makes sense you know." the girl Rika said. " it really is a very dangerous time right now and your teammate is just thinking ahead."

"Naruto is the village idiot , he doesn't know anything." Sakura scoffed. "But Sasuke is the Uchiha and he knows what he's doing."

Surprisingly, Rika was not bowled over by Sasukes' looks at all and in fact preferred Naruto more.

"There is an idiot here." the girls said standing up. "But I don't think its him." she said pointedly before storming off to her tent.

Sakura glared thinking that the girl was after her Sasuke but said nothing. Behind his book Kakashi inwardly groaned. Sakura really did know how to start things.

Sai and Narutos' patrol duty went well and when it was time to switch, they quickly said goodnight and walked over to their tent together. Sasuke watched them go with a glare and was boiling with anger and hurt. Just as Sai was about to go in, he turned and gave Sasuke a knowing smirk. Sasuke felt his sharingan activate for a minute in his rage but quickly pulled it back.

Naruto entered the tent behind Sai and growled at him. "You shouldn't have done that koi." he said annoyed.

Sai smirked although he knew Naruto was gonna punish him for it. It was all worth it in his opinion.

"Lets go take a bath in the river together." Naruto said and got up.

Sai nodded and after gathering up their things, they left for the river . It was a little way off so they weren't particularly worried about there teammates seeing them, not that they cared either way. They undressed quickly and Sai ran into the water before turning around to smirk at Naruto.

"Well aren't you coming in dickless?" he asked .

Naruto walked in and went to stand behind him. He leaned closer to his ear as he pressed his arousal up against Sais' ass.

Then he whispered. " are you sure you should be saying that when you're already in enough trouble as it is koi?" he purred. " don't worry , you'll definitely find out soon enough if I'm dickless or not."

Sai felt himself harden even more and shivered in anticipation. Naruto reached around and began stroking him as he began finger fucking him.

"Aaah!" Sai moaned at the sudden invasion of his sanctum.

Naruto nipped his ear before licking it and moved down to his neck, sucking and marking the other boy as his.

"Lean forward and spread your legs Sai." Naruto ordered after playing with him a bit more.

Sai eagerly obeyed and naruto positioned himself at his entrance and began to slide into him, inch by agonizing inch. Then , after being firmly seated deep inside his lover and after giving him enough time to adjust , he began to move.

"Still think I'm dickless koi?" Naruto purred as he hammered into him.

"Nnngh!" Sai grunted. "Since...your...cock...is...currently...up...my...ass...at the moment...no." he gasped out in between each powerful thrust.

For the next few minutes, Naruto rode him at a furious pace until the boy came, both from the consistent pounding against his sweet spot and the hand job he was getting at the same time. Naruto pulled out and turned the satiated boy around before picking him up right off his feet and pushing back up into him as Sai wrapped his legs around his hips, hanging on for dear life.

Two hours later and after the both of them had orgasmed multiple times, they washed up and went back to their tents. As he wrapped his hands around an exhausted Sai, Naruto inwardly snickered at the show he had just given Sasuke before falling asleep.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

with Sasuke...

Sasuke was livid to the point where he felt like killing someone, namely Sai. How dare Naruto replace him with that emotionless whore! How dare he fuck someone else! Damn Naruto to hell for this , he would pay dearly! No one replaced and Uchiha with a whore, no one! He would show him he was better!

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

the next morning...

They all gathered for breakfast and Sai limped out of the tent to join the others, more aroused than sore since Naruto had healed his sore backside before coming out. No, it was the fondling that came after that did it. Sai had also wrapped a bandage around the hickie on his neck causing Naruto to chuckle at that.

Even though Sakura was a medic-nin, she was too caught up in admiring Sasuke to even notice the slight limp. Everyone else noticed it though.

"What happened to you?" asked kakashi.

"He strained a muscle a bit last night while he was on watch." Naruto said dead- panned.

"Shut up Naruto, Kakashi is talking to Sai not you." Sakura said rudely.

Rika turned to her. "You know you shouldn't talk to your friends that way. Its just plain rude and mean." she said annoyed.

"THIS LOSER ISN'T MY FRIEND, HE'S JUST SOMEONE ON MY TEAM." Sakura yelled out, her voice dripping with scorn as she curled her lip, not caring what anyone else but sasuke thought of her.

Naruto didnt say anything to her, he just got up and walked off.

Sai got up too. "You know Sakura, one of these days someone is gonna bitch- slap you like the ugly tramp you are." He said and walked off after his lover.

Kakashi watched Sai leave before turning to Sakura. "Sakura, what you did just now was cruel and unprofessional. You should never talk about your team-mates that way. And to make it all worse, you're a medic-nin and yet you didn't even notice that Sai was hurt until after I spoke. You need to be more considerate of your team-mates."

The girl frowned, angry at being lectured. "But that's how I feel and I hate him." she said coldly. "He's just a nobody who's always acting like the idiot he is. He is nothing but a monster and should just die already. I do think about my teammates, I think about Sasuke all the time."

"Shut up and get lost you bitch!" sasuke said angrily. "You disgust me!"

Sakura looked as if she were about to cry but no one cared. Kakashi said nothing else, he just ignored them and went to get the other two so that they could get on with the mission. He found sai and Naruto talking quietly together and he frowned, he had never known that the blonde could be so soft spoken. They stopped talking as soon as he came within hearing range of them and turned to look at him.

"Let's get on with the mission ." he said not even bothering to ask if the blonde was okay and the two boys nodded and followed him back to the camp.

Meanwhile Sakura was beginning to feel a bit remorseful, but only because Sasuke was mad at her and refused to even acknowledge her presence . She decided to act all nice to Naruto since he always forgave her whenever she was all mean to him anyway. He did have a crush on her after all.

She saw them returning and pasted a fake smile on her face as she hurried over to him. She opened her mouth to speak to him but Naruto just walked by her as if she wasn't even there. Sai snickered and called her a bitch as he followed naruto. He inner Sakura got mad but only glared, she didn't want to make Sasuke anymore angry than he already was. For the rest of the day, everyone openly ignored her, including kakashi who was more into his book than there situation anyway.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Around midday Naruto sensed a presence nearby and gave the others the heads up as he summoned a few kitsunes by using his pheromones and then sent them to scout ahead. He quickly collected the info and then told the others the enemies location.

The enemies attacked a few minutes later. They were a couple of missing nins in the bingo book and Kakashi noticed how coordinated Sai and Narutos' attacks were. They covered each others weak points and got the job done quickly without only a little help from the others. He found it very interesting but assumed it was just because they probably trained together.

The rest of the mission went smoothly and they delivered the clients safely to their destination, then they began the trip back home. Naruto and Sai continued to ignore Sakura .

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

the first evening...

The first evening of the return trip, the two lovers made up their tent in a small cave that they had found on the way and continued to ignore the rude girl. They went and got their own food as usual and wood for the fire before returning to the camp. Naruto came back with four fish and four rabbits the first time. A lot less than he had gotten them that morning. He leaned over and whispered something to Sai who in turn nodded before the blonde went off again.

Sai pulled out a small pot from his pack and set out four bowls, deliberately putting one back. He added water, flour dumplings and wild carrots to the pot as well as salt and seasoning with pieces of rabbit meat. He had bought the flour and seasonings at the village they had just left and brought the utensils from their home. As the boy continued to cook , the others watched and were practically drooling in anticipation. Naruto made five trips back and forth with fish and game for them .

When sasuke saw him take out only four bowls he snickered inwardly as he realized why but said nothing. Naruto then asked him to go get more wood as they would need enough to last a few days and he frowned but obeyed.

"Do you two know something that we don't?" asked the copy-nin after a while. "And why only four bowls instead of five?"

Sai smirked . "yes we do." he admitted. "Its gonna rain really hard for the next few days and will probably be a lightening and hail storm. Its obviously gonna be bad and make it impossible for us to go out so we'll need lots of food and wood for a fire. That's why we made you all camp in the cave. The MONSTER in him makes it easier to sense such things. And about the bowls, Sakura will have to fend for herself, we refuse to feed that ugly bitch."

Sakura got angry and stood up. "Screw you you asshole, I don't need none of your stinking food, I can fend for myself. It will probably taste like shit anyway and I bet you're only making that shit up about the rain . Who would want to eat from a cursed monster." she screeched and stomped off.

Kakashi snickered to himself at the girls' behavior but said nothing as he went to help gather food and wood just in case. Naruto returned over the next hour with enough water and game to last them a whole week. He had sasuke help him clean them, reluctantly on his part and then had Kakashi do a water jitsu that froze them into four small ice blocks in order to keep them fresh. Sakura also returned an hour later carrying four small fish. She made her own little fire and cooked them an then wrapped up some for the next day. The others ate heartily and then they retired for the night or did their own thing since the tension was thick and it had also started to rain just as Naruto had predicted.

It rained all threw the night and the next morning when they woke up it was still going strong. All the men ate their food and were filled while she sat there and began to ration her two remaining fish, eating only half of one. The first day went by quickly and Sakura had been forced to eat a whole fish in order to shut her stomach up. Meanwhile the others ate their large fish and fried dumplings. The next morning she ate the last of her fish and looked out at the continued rain. The others all ate heartily and watched her reluctantly scarf down her last nutrition bar. The next morning after that, she sat their looking foolish since she was hungry and had nothing to eat. The others ignored her as they ate and snickered when they heard her stomach growling continuously threw-out the day.

Kakashi didn't feel bad about it because he understood what the two boys were doing and frankly didn't care either way. There was also the fact that they would stop feeding HIM if he got involved, a definite no-no for him.

Sasuke didn't give a damn either way and found it all hilarious to see his leech being tormented.

That afternoon she couldn't take it anymore and decided to venture out into the rain to find food. She refused to beg those bastards and had her pride after all. Unfortunately for her, as soon as she stepped out of the cave a bolt of lightening almost got her and she screamed and ran back in.

The others were all rolling over with laughter by now and was actually enjoying themselves.

"Well Sakura, did you learn your lesson?" Kakashi asked.

The girl scowled but nodded, only agreeing because she was hungry.

"Are you sure you want to eat from a cursed monster Sakura?" asked Naruto. "Aren't you afraid you'll be cursed too?"

Sakura said nothing and Naruto said and gave her something to eat anyway, completely disgusted with her. The rest of the mission went well and they all returned to the village in one piece. When naruto and Sai told Tsunade and Shizune about it after the rest of their team left, they rolled over with laughter at what they had done to get back at the girl.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

a few days after that mission...

They had all been at the bridge waiting for Kakashi to show up . When Kakashi arrived two hours later, Naruto ignored his entrance, not even bothering to put on his usual idiotic act. The fact was, he was tired of pretending to be the dead- last everyone but his true friends thought he was . Instead of yelling , "you're late ," he continued to chat with Sai. The others immediately turn to look at them.

"Well aren't you gonna yell at Kakashi too Usuratonkachi?" sasuke asked in his usual mocking tone.

Naruto turned and looked at him with those powerful red eyes, killing intent so thick in the air that even Kakashi took a step back in fear.

Trust me traitor , if anyone is the dead last here its you ." he snarled coldly.

"NARUTO DON'T SPEAK TO SASUKE THAT WAY YOU JERK!" Sakura yelled angrily as she came up to him and tried to hit him as usual.

To their surprise, Naruto grabbed her hand at the last minute and used her own weight to fling her into the river before they could even blink. As Sakura sat their in shock for a minute a small green frog used her head as a rock as he jumped across the river. Sai saw her sitting there and was rolling over with laughter at that.

"Try to hit me again and I will break that arm off you and beat you with it you ugly pink pitch!" Naruto hissed coldly at the girl in the water.

"NARUTO THAT IS NOT THE WAY YOU SHOULD TREAT YOUR TEAMMATES OR SPEAK TO THEM" Kakashi began reprimanding him but Naruto held up a silencing hand.

"WHAT TEAMMATES KAKASHI ? " Naruto yelled angrily. " THE ONLY TEAM-MATES I HAVE HERE IS SAI SO FUCK YOU AND I QUITE THIS LAME- ASS TEAM. . A NINJA MUST SEE THREW DECEPTION RIGHT? YET YOU TWO HAVE THE SHARINGAN AND YOU'RE THE MOST BLINDEST FUCKERS I'VE EVER MET SO GO TO HELL!" he yelled pissed off.

Then he held out his hand to Sai who immediately took it and they immediately disappeared in a dark swirl of chakra . Kakashi and the others stared in shock, when had Naruto learned to use a teleportation jutsu and what was up with the dark chakra? He hadn't even used any hand- signs. They quickly hurried to the Hokage tower together, even the dripping wet Sakura, to tell the Hokage what had happened.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

meanwhile in the Hokage tower...

Tsunade and Shizune were rolling over with laughter when Naruto had finished telling her what had happened. Their only regret was that they hadn't been there to see it. She completely understood why he wanted to leave the team even if he had only had a few more months left on it anyway, and had no objections to it.

When Shizune came in to tell her that the rest of team seven was waiting to see her, she allowed it. When the rest of team entered, they didnt noticed that Sai and Naruto were there since they had practically melted into the shadows like the elite anbu they were.

"Tsunade-sama Naruto has been acting strange today and not only insulted us but assaulted Sakura." Kakashi began , obviously upset. "I think he's lost his mind."

Tsunade laughed, surprising them. "Is that so Kakashi?" she asked. "So you and your team have never once insulted him before ?" she said and they remained silent, too guilty to answer.

She gave them a cruel smirk and turned to Sakura. "And are you saying that you have never hit him before Sakura or even you Sasuke?" she asked again.

The kunoichi said nothing since it was common knowledge around the village that she took great pleasure in hitting him. Sasuke frowned as he remembered all the times he tried to kill the blonde.

"He quit the team." Kakashi said , trying another angle.

Tsunade arched a brow. "And?" she asked.

"And he cant just do that without giving us a good reason." Sasuke said arrogantly, completely forgetting when he ran away from the team and village without saying anything.

Tsunade opened her mouth to blast him into next week but Naruto and Sai chose that moment to reveal themselves to the others, surprising them. Even Kakashi had been too upset to notice their presence.

"You want a reason sasuke." Naruto said coldly. "Then fine , I' ll give you some. Lets start with the pink haired banshee shall we. First of all , I never really had a crush on you bitch, I was just pretending to since it made my idiotic act more believable. I mean only a complete idiot would be in love with a selfish and ugly bitch like you. All these years I watched your back and you treated me like shit, all of you did. You spent so much time mooning over the Emo-king like the spoilt little lovesick witch you are and have even given up training with Tsunade-sama. Do you even have any friends left now that I'm gone?" he asked harshly to the stunned girl before turning to Sasuke. " you think that you're so great but you're really not. Everyone treats you like a god and forgive everything you do because of your kekkai genkai. Do you really think that your sharingan is the most powerful kekkai genkai in the village? I can assure you its not. You're nothing but a traitor and even though I used to reach out to you and try to be your friend , I wouldn't go anywhere near you even with a ten feet pole now." then he turned to Kakashi. " and you Kakashi are nothing but a perverted asshole. All you ever did was think about Sasuke and on rare occasions the pink bitch. I could have been on fire next to you and you wouldn't have even noticed. I wonder what your sensei would think of you now. A ninja must see threw deception you said but you're the blindest fool that I have ever met." he said coldly. "And finally to all of you. Uchiha , I got you to Sakura when you almost died and you never even took the time to say thanks. Sakura , you blamed me for something I didn't even do and called me a monster repeatedly and yet you never took the time to apologize. Kakashi, you're the same as Sakura and everyone else in this village, too blind to see what's right before your eyes. You're nothing but a hypocrite and you're a fucking lousy teacher too."

Sasuke and Sakura were too angry and hurt to say anything but Kakashi wasn't .

"How dare you you ungrateful brat." Kakashi said pissed. " I was a damn good teacher!"

Naruto sneered. "Were you?" he asked. "Then name all the techniques you taught me Kakashi and don't tell me tree walking cause I actually learned to do that at three. I was just pretending not to know."

kakashi blinked as he thought about it and realized what the blonde had said was true. He immediately felt ashamed but tried to justify it.

"Sasuke needed my help more. His family was murdered and I was the only one left that could teach him how to use the sharingan." he said. "He had true potential. I did the right thing."

"I never had any family Kakashi and I have the most powerful bijuu inside me so tell me again that you did the right thing by ignoring me." Naruto said harshly and the older man remained silent. "Exactly Kakashi. It doesn't balance out does it? Especially since your prize student turned out to be nothing more than an avenger and a traitor, so much for his POTENTIAL huh? You never really had any faith in me did you Kakashi, not while the Uchiha so called prodigy was right there. You even refused to train me in favor of that golden boy when I asked for your help at the first chunin exams and yet I managed to not only save his and Sakuras' pathetic ass , I stopped Gaara all on my own. This just proves my point that being on your team is a waste of my time and skills." he told him in a voice dripping with venom and scorn.

"Well there you have it." said Tsunade pissed off at them as well. She couldn't believe that in all those years that Naruto was on the team, Kakashi hadn't taken the time to teach him anything. "Naruto is no longer a part of team seven." she said.

"Tsunade-sama , you forgot about me." Sai reminded her. "I only remained on that team because of Naruto . I don't want to be on that team anymore either. I go wherever my seme goes." he said bluntly.

Sakura and Kakashi were shocked by this and Sasuke was just plain furious and hurt at the public admission. They had had to hide their relationship when they had been together and now here they were proudly telling everyone. Didn't the emotionless whore realize that Naruto was his?

"You two are lovers?" Kakashi asked surprised. "Naruto is the top?"

Naruto smirked at that. "How is Iruka-tousan treating you these day Kakashi?" he said. "And since I know you're wondering, Sai-koi and I have been together for a little over a year now. We even live together now." he told them as he pulled an unresisting Sai into his embrace and looked directly into Sasukes' eyes.

The rest of team seven just stared on much to the others amusement.

Then Tsunade turned to Sakura and said coldly. "Sakura since you haven't shown up for training in almost a year, I'm dropping you. I have no time to waste on a lost cause. You obviously care more about the Uchiha than training so I'm not gonna waste my time anymore. Now if that's all team seven, you may go." she said and they hurried out of the room.

Then Tsunade turned to the two remaining boys. "So what do you two want to do now?" she asked.

Naruto smiled. " we want to remain as what we are , elite Anbu. I would also like to request a special type of mission Tsunade-sama. Since the Akatsuki cannot remove the Kyuubi from me because of the special seal and the merge, I would like to be allowed free reign to dispatch of them and then train for my future position afterwards." he said. " I will be taking my team of course."

Tsunade nodded and smiled. She couldn't wait to see the look on those bastards faces when the announcement was made. It would be priceless.

Tbc.
