"And just what the hell do you mean by that?" Tsunade glared, once again.

"I am going to drag Naruto's ass back to Konoha. And if I meet Kakashi on the way, his ass is coming back here too."

"Why the hell would you do that? That is not part of treaty." Tsunade reminded Sasuke, just in case he had forgotten that little fact.

"I know."

"Then why? Do you really want to be in Team Kakashi that much?"

Sasuke hesitated to answer, but his answer wasn't wavering. "Yes."

"He isn't planning to hit on Sakura, is he? Or does he have some other motive for doing so?" Tsunade considered for a moment before voicing her opinion. "You aren't planning to get with Sakura later, are you?"

Sasuke started choking, literally. "I'm sorry, but I do not and will not like Sakura in that way. Ever." he emphasized on the word 'ever' before continuing, "No offense meant."

"Okay, so it isn't Sakura. So it has to be either Naruto or Kakashi." "Uchiha, you had better bring Naruto back. Or the next time I see you, you would regret not finding Naruto!"

"I already regret not following Naruto back to Konoha already, so what more can you do to hurt me?" "Okay. But I need at least two other people from Konoha."

"M'lady, I would like to join this mission!" Sakura said as she slammed open the door. Apparently she had listened in on the entire conversation.

"Accepted. That's one, and another one to go, Uchiha." Tsunade said.

"Yo." Everyone turned towards the window behind the Hokage. Suddenly, Kakashi popped up with a calm, relaxed look on his face. "Sakura, Tsunade-sama, what's all the noise about?" He notices Sasuke for the first time. "Oh, Sasuke is here also. Now where's Naruto?"

"Kakashi-sensei! Where the hell have you been?!" Sakura yelled at the confused man.

"Kakashi is here, so I take it that he is on your team?"

"Yes and there is 'another to go' still."

"Don't get cocky with me Uchiha. And who would be the last of your team?"

"Uzumaki Naruto, of course."
