Kakashi picked at the scab on his arm. Rin was constantly berating him for doing so, but it was a bad habit of his. The crusty, dead layer of skin came off easily, letting a fresh wave of blood ooze out. He wiped it off and then spent the next minute or so squeezing out the blood that was leaking out.
Meanwhile, Sasuke sat across the room with his sword in his lap. (He did get a sword, right?? Think so…) He ran the cloth back and forth over its blade until he was satisfied with the results. Then sheathed his sword once more. He placed his sheathed sword in his lap and sighed.
Kakashi looked up and watched Sasuke with his eye. " I have no idea how much longer we'll have to stay."
Sasuke frowned, "It's not that. I don't care how long this mission is going to take, it's just the fact that we're not doing anything that bothers me. We could be in Konoha going on meaningful missions."
"This is an extremely important mission." Kakashi said, feeling slightly defensive for some reason.
Sasuke placed his sword to lean against the wall, "Oh come on. You're only waiting because you got to see some old buddy of yours, and you might get to see him again."
Kakashi felt his temper flare, "Everyone thought Obito was dead! Besides, I can clearly see that you're happy to meet an old friend as well."
Sasuke felt flustered, "Naruto was never my friend." He grunted, turning away so his face could not betray any of the emotions he felt.
Kakashi smirked, "Who said I was talking about Naruto?"
" Well it's not like we know anyone else from this village!"
Kakashi's smirk remained, "Alright. Whatever." He replied, and walked out of the room, closing the door behind himself.
Sasuke sat alone in the room that was filled with a soft white glow from the full moon. "Damn him…" he seethed, and exited the room as well.

Tsunade mindlessly stamped the towering stacks of paperwork before her. After stamping what seemed like millions (and probably was), she turned in her swivel chair to stare out the window at the town before her. She couldn't hear the laughter of children and townsfolk as often as before. Was it because of him? Or was she going crazy?
A knock came at the door.
"Come in," she recited, as she had so many times.
A messenger poked her head through the door. "The team you sent to the new ninja village has sent their first report. It seems that they put on a seal that allows only you to open it."
Tsunade sat up in her chair and sighed. Oh joy, more political work. "Bring it here."
The messenger timidly placed the message in front of Tsunade and scurried out of the room.
Everyone seemed to be cautious around her ever since four years ago… Perhaps she was going crazy.
She opened the seal, taking her own sweet time doing so, and skimmed through the report.
Report: Ninja Village
The village, as you said, is completely compromised of ninjas. Their way of life is so intricate, yet efficient. Each individual's powers are used to their fullest potential. The education is top notch, easily out doing any of the elemental countries'. Living conditions are excellent. The village is definitely a priority for Konoha to win over. We will send more reports with any new information.
Kakashi
P.S: Naruto's alive.
Tsunade read over the last line several times. Her brain could not comprehend this information. Naruto was alive? Was this some hoax? What did Kakashi mean by this? Was Naruto currently residing within this village?!
She clutched the parchment close to her chest and squeezed it tightly, crumpling it. Was it really true? Was Naruto really alive?

Rin and Sakura walked into the room to see that Hinata was still there, sitting in a somewhat poetic posture, staring out the window.
"Hey." Sakura said, breaking Hinata from her dream world.
"Hey." She smiled back.
Rin and Sakura sat on the bed with Hinata.
The three of them sighed at the same time. An awkward silence fell. They looked into each other's eyes and saw the deeply set problems in each other's eyes. Knowing they weren't alone, they couldn't help but smile. At first they giggled. The giggle turned into a chuckle, then into a full out burst of laughter.
For the longest time they hadn't felt like this; to laugh for no reason at all, other than the fact that you felt happy. Their lives had completely over run them. They needed to live up to their fullest potential all the time, and it was extremely stressful. Their reputation was constantly keeping them on their toes, and it felt so good to walk flat foot again. If only just for a while, they felt happy, and carefree. If only for the night, they escaped to their own little world.
Author's Note: Poetic moment? Sorry, just feeling the stress of all this hmwrk piling up and thought i'd get some feelings out in ma story :3 darn you science… grrr… Astronomy is so stupid _ so glad we moved on to something else now… March Break soon ^_^
