Zaria remained distant towards the others for the rest of the mission. The only time she would speak is when they were coming up with a plan regarding the mission. Being around Kakashi made her uncomfortable. It brought of emotions that she longed to disappear. Every time she glanced at him she imagined it was Obito there instead. The group ended up completing the mission with only some complications. When they returned to Kusa they said their goodbyes to the leaf ninja. Zaria just stood there shyly only subtly waving at them. Satoru looked over at Zaria and wondered what was wrong with her. To him, she hasn't been this way since their first training session together as a team.

"Well I'm glad that went well" Daisuke commented.

"Yeah I wasn't expecting that mission to be so easy" Raiden added.

"So easy? Raiden, I had to save you" Satoru retorted.

"Hey! I didn't ask for your help!" Raiden growled.

"Can you two please stop arguing?" Zaria requested annoyed with the two.

"Sorry" the two boys said together. Zaria just sighed and walked away. Since they were done with the mission, she figured it was best just to go home.

"Hey Zar? Where are you going?" Raiden asked calling out to her.

"Home!" She yelled back as she continued walking away. Raiden looked at Satoru and Daisuke confused. The two just shrugged their shoulders in response not knowing what was going on either.

"Okay since she's not here, can we all acknowledge that she's been acting weird since the beginning of that mission" Raiden stated.

"Well Zaria is pretty shy when it comes to people she doesn't know, and they were ninja from another village" Satoru mentioned.

"Well Zaria happens to come from the Hidden Leaf and seeing those ninjas might have triggered some unpleasant memories so that can also be a factor into her behavior" Daisuke chimed in. Both boys looked at their sensei with surprised look on their faces.

"Why do you two seem so surprised by that?" Daisuke questioned confused by their reactions. "Didn't you two already know that?" he then added. The two boys shook their heads in response.

"Zaria doesn't exactly talk about her past" Raiden stated. Then Satoru remember a conversation he had with her a while back.

"Wait a second She's from the Uchiha clan so it would make sense for her to be born in the Hidden Leaf and I remember her telling me about her brother that died in the last war and she told me that as right before he died he gave his eye to his teammate who lost his in a fight. That Jonin had the Sharingan in his right eye so maybe he was her brother's teammate and that would explain why Zaria was acting so weird during the mission." Satoru explained. Now it was Raiden and Daisuke's turn to look at Satoru confused. "Okay why are you looking at me like that?" Satoru then asked looking back at them confused.

"Since when did you talk to Zaria about this?" Raiden asked.

"The first training session we had as a team when you brought your sister and Zaria suddenly decided she didn't want to train anymore I went to her house to check on her after we were done, and she told me the story" Satoru replied.

"Oh sure she opens up to you, but she doesn't tell us anything" Raiden commented in frustration.

"Well I kinda had to pry it out of her. She wouldn't tell me at first, but eventually I got it out of her" Satoru stated.

"Well if you knew then why not say anything? I care about her too ya know. Just because you have a thing for her doesn't mean you got to hog all the information" Raiden questioned. Satoru blushed at the statement.

"W-who said that I have a thing for Zaria?" Satoru stuttered.

"oh please you make it so obvious" Raiden commented. "I remember back in the academy you got into a fight because of some kid bullying her and every time some kid complimented her you would give them the death glare" Raiden told him.

"The only person I did that to was Takada and you hate him too so that doesn't even count" Satoru retorted.

"Yeah but you still got into that fight with the kid that called Zaria 'worthless waste of space' and after you were done beating him you shouted in front of the whole class that she was 'probably the strongest one in the entire class and said that she's a beautiful person even on the inside' so care to explain that one Romeo?" Raiden countered with a cocky smirk. Satoru's face turned even redder. Raiden chuckled in response. "Yeah that's what I though" he finished. Raiden then decided that it was time to go home himself.

"Where are you going?" Satoru asked.

"I got to pick up my sister from my neighbor's house and make dinner. I see ya guys tomorrow" he responded.

"Well I guess it's safe to call it a day since half the team is gone now" Daisuke pointed out.

"Yeah I guess so" Satoru replied as he started to head home himself.

"Later Daisuke-Sensei" Satoru said his farewell to his sensei before leaving.
