Naruto shippuden ep 12 (Agreed!)

Ino leaves Sasuke and Naruto behind as they stand in front of the door way all soaking wet. She quickly goes into another room, taking into her hands two folded dry towels. Sakura still had her arms crossed looking at Sasuke with a serious face, as he looks back at her. Naruto smiles and shakes himself trying to see if he can get dry, which didn't really work. Sasuke had a very good feeling that Sakura knew what he was going to ask her, or that she probably knew about Team 7 overall. Naruto was going to head to the couch where the girls were sitting on earlier. Ino quickly came out of the other room, "Hey Naruto no! Your all wet!" She shook her head as she walked toward him handing him one dry towel. "Here, first you need to get dry, and if you guys want I may have some spare clothes in the other room." Ino smiles and blushes lightly now handing the second towel to Sasuke.

Sasuke gently takes the towel from her hand giving her a feint smile; he then uses it resting the towel over his head, using his hand to massage it over his wet hair getting rid of the excess water. He was finally able to get out most of the water out of his hair. His hair became flat wasn't as spiked as it usually is from the back. Naruto did the same as well after some time they decided to wear some dry men clothes that Ino had which belonged to her male cousins. They managed to fit them quite well; their original clothes were hanged up left to dry. All of them were finally able to sit together Ino on one side of the sofa and Sakura and Naruto on the other. Sasuke remained standing instead; his arms were in his pockets now his back resting against the wall. He was near Ino on her side of the wall closest to her sofa. Ino looked up at him with a soft smile again on her face.

Sakura was still upset about the whole idea she couldn't focus on her feelings now towards Sasuke. She really wanted to know the whole reason why Sasuke wanted to reunite Team 7. She looked at Naruto and he quickly looked at her and smiled. She returned his smile for a short period of time, and then her mood changed into seriousness her arms across her chest. "Sasuke please do tell, what is this about reuniting us back into our old group. Oh and the best part of all were heading to some Shadow Clone Village? The same exact men that attacked Ino last time? Hm? How come I wasn't told about any of this in the first place? I had to find out from her." Sakura squeezed her own arms as she tried to relax and continued to look at Sasuke, what really bothered her was the fact that he was calm and quiet with his normal cool personality.

Naruto saw that Sakura was highly upset about it, when Naruto on the other hand was really excited being able to be with the two people he really cares about. It really made him the most happiest. The fact of him being around Sakura a girl he has always had a crush on since they were kids, and Sasuke his old best friend. Well even though they wouldn't spend much time together Naruto had a lot in common with Sasuke the loneliness and pain. They both somehow had a connection as well. They grew up without their families alone in their own misery. In the end they were united together, ("Their must be a reason for all of this.")Naruto thought to himself. He then tries to soften things up, "C'mon Sakura I recently found out about this too, and besides we finally have the chance to be together again."

Sakura quickly looked over at Naruto she wasn't too happy about it but at the same time Naruto was right, they do get to spend some time together just like old times. She finally relaxes her arms and lowers them to her side. "Please Sasuke do tell," her eyes then shifts to him.

Ino's gaze went from Sakura to Naruto then to Sakura, she finally looked up at Sasuke and his eyes were on her. Ino had her hands on her lap as she tugged on her skirt a bit with her hands, she blushed lightly she couldn't help it. Ino noticed that he must be deep in thought as his eyes met with hers and at the same time she felt that he somewhat had to tell them the truth. Ino nods at Sasuke lightly, reassuring him that it's all right to speak, and no matter what happens she's with him.

Sasuke pulls his hands out of his pockets and nods back at Ino closing his eyes and then re opening them as he looks at Sakura and Naruto now. "Yes you are right Sakura I should have mentioned it to the both of you earlier, and I've been thinking about this for some time. That day when the shadow clone ninja attacked me and Ino I've decided from that point on we should hunt them down. Especially before they cause any more trouble for any of us." Sasuke was pretty smart about the way he used his words, he didn't mention that it was for Ino's sake, his vengeance and wrath which burned within him still. Sasuke though was telling the truth he then had the flash back about the time and day when one of the shadow men were disguised as Lady Tsunade placing a black symbol on his forehead, luckily Sasuke was able to escape that jutsu.

Sakura then relaxed and blinked a couple of times, "So you were attacked as well Sasuke? I thought it was only Ino."

Sasuke closes his eyes for a while and then reopens them, "I was the first one to get attacked Sakura, and there were three of them. Remember the time when Ino was ill in bed close to death and I yelled at Lady Tsunade telling her to back away from Ino?" Sasuke says as he crossed his arms onto his chest now his back pressed against the wall.

"Yes I remember Sasuke, I thought it was strange I could not understand why you reacted that way, Lady Tsunade was just trying to help her." Sakura then remembers that moment and it gives her the shivers. "You were very angry Sasuke.."

"Well the shadow clone ninja that attacked me was exactly like her. He cloned himself as Tsunade.." Sasuke then relaxes his arms on his side one of his hands into his pocket and looks at Naruto. Naruto had a serious face and pulled in closer as Sasuke spoke. "That's why I couldn't trust her.."

Ino then lets go of her skirt and was quiet for some time she then hugged herself and looked down at her knees. "Yes and there were two others, one of them looked like Shikamaru and the other looked like…" She looks up at Naruto taking her hand out of her side reaching toward Naruto with her index finger pointing straight at him. "You Naruto, he looked like you.."

Naruto's eyes opened wide and he quickly stood up, "Me? They copied me? This is insane!" he says with a mad and frightened look upon his face, his hands quickly tightens into fists as they shake. "Let's go Sasuke and Sakura." Naruto looks at the both of them. Sakura looks up at Naruto and she quickly stood up as well changing her gaze over to Sasuke.

After a while Sakura then decides,"All right fine! I'll join you two." Sakura couldn't say no, these clone Ninjas are far too dangerous, to the point they can even imitate them physically and who knows they may even imitate them again just as they did with Naruto, Shikamaru, and Lady Tsunade. Sakura knew that this is was far too much trouble for them and their Konoha village to be handled lightly. "This is bad, they can take any form as they please, they can fool us, tease us, find out things from our village and in the end destroy us. They have to be stopped Sasuke and Naruto."

"All Right! Team 7 it is!" Naruto says out loud with a smirk on his face, pushing up his sleeves. "Hehe."

Yay! It is a definite yes! Team 7 will finally be together! I wonder what lays ahead through out their journey and their future plans! And does Ino have a plan as well? We shall see!

Share the love and Enjoy!
