YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
Haruno Sakura scribbled something on a piece of paper as she performs simple check ups on some of the patients in Konoha Hospital. The Lady Hokage is with her at the moment, helping with harder issues around the place. The fifth hokage is now a usual face in the hospital after her resignation as Konoha's leader. If not wasting her time getting drunk on public pubs, Tsunade helps with the patients in the hospital. Her skills as a medic can never be matched by anyone, even Sakura.
"Hey..." The busty sannin gave Sakura a wink. " Heard it from the young Inoichi girl last night...your defenses finally melted around Naruto eh?"
A vein became visible in the rossette's forhead. "That Ino..."
Tsunade laughed. "Finally...that boy have been after your heels for as long I can remember...hmm...I wonder what he saw in that chest of yours though... Ino and that Hyuuga princess...now puberty did them right."
"Lady Tsunade!"
The busty sannin laughed again, this time, she wrapped an arm around her young disciple. "Kidding...kidding.."
The green eyed medic sniffed. "Is that sake I smell?" She eyed the older woman beside her. Leave it to Tsunade to get drunk this early in the morning. "Lady Tsunade...you know better than going here with alcohol leading your head."
"Now..now... Miss Uzumaki... Don't act tough on me now." Tsunade said with a sniff. "But tell me, did you two kissed already?"
Sakura became stiff on track while some of the patients chuckled. Tsunade's voice is loud enough for everyone to hear. The pink haired Haruno mentally reminded herself that the woman beside her is her mentor and a respected sannin. It would cause her great if she lost her control and land a punch on the woman's ageless face.
"Sakura chan...there you are!"
Both ladies turned at the sound of the voice. Sakura's heart skipped a few beats while Tsunade scowled.
"Geez...now here comes loverboy." The great medic murmured.
Naruto grinned. " I have been looking for you Sakura... Oh, there you are granny Tsunade...hey you smell like sake.."
"I thought your Sasuke's watch today." Sakura said, eyeing a few bruises and Naruto's tattered jacket. The smell of burning clothe did not escape her either.
The blonde scratched his head and looked sheepishly at Sakura. "Well, we have a few sparring session...just like the old times."
"And just like the old time, he beat your ass." Tsunade pointed at Naruto's clothes.
"Baa chan..."
The pink haired nin placed her right hand on her hips. "Naruto, your supposed to be watching Sasuke...why are you here?"
"Well... Sasuke threatened me to leave the village again if I did not disappear from his sight. I think he needs some privacy you know..."
Sakura's face twitched. "Naruto...you need to guard him. That is your mission for today." The rosette can feel her control waver. She love Naruto, but sometimes, she just wanted to kick his butt.
"Nah... There is a cursed seal on his shoulder, we will know if teme does anything will never leave the village again." The Kyuubi' vessel said confidently. "I'll check on him later. I'm going to crash on his ...Hey Sakura, do you wanna get some ramen after this? I'm hungry."
"I would Naruto...but I can't let you disregard your duty." Sakura said sternly. "What would Kakashi sensei say?"
"If I drag Sasuke to eat with us...would you change your mind?" The young Uzumaki asked hopefully. "We can eat and watch him at the same time."
Hinata smiled as Kiba playfully scolded Akamaru for eating too much. "Yo Akamaru...watch out for those extra pounds. We don't wanted to slow down on missions you know."
"Arfff...Arfff."
The trio decided to have some grilled meat for lunch earlier so they headed to the nearest grill house. When they arrived, Hinata looked around the place, expecting to see any familiar face. She saw a few shinobis but no one from her batch is present.
"Shino kun...do you want more?" Hinata asked, placing a few cuts of meat on the grill.
A sizzling sound can be heard as the meat's fat and juices dripped on the coals below.
Shino gave the bluenette a nod while Kiba wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "Me too Hinata...wow...smells so good."
"Arff." Akamaru also joined in the request.
"Of course Akamaru...I will grill some for you too." Hinata smiled at Kiba's faithful companion.
Hinata happily voluntered to cook the meat cutlets for the two. The blue haired Anbu enjoys it if she can serve these two shinobis in any way, not to mention she does the grilling better than them.
These two are hopeless when it comes to cooking. Be it a simple roast or grill. Shino always find a way to burn anything that he tries to cook, while Kiba's food always ends up raw.
"Ramen!" A familiar voice yelled outside the resto grill. " Sakura chan... Faster before there are no seats left."
Hinata stopped chewing her food. Kiba's ears twitched while Shino silently observe the girl's reaction.
"It's Naruto ." Kiba said, his mouth still full of meat.
He is with Sakura...Hinata thought, fighting the urge to hold her chest. Suddenly, the meat on the grill became an object for Hinata's full attention. She removed a few cuts and placed them on Kiba's plate. "Here Kiba kun..."
"Hey Naruto... Slow down." Haruno Sakura's voice yelled.
"Sasuke...walk faster will you?" Was Naruto's reply.
"Why did you dragged me into this Naruto?" A cold voice answered.
Kiba's half eaten food fell back on his plate. "Is that Sasuke's voice?"
"Arff..Arff.." Akamaru stood up and ran outside. The dog is quite familiar with Naruto's scent. The furry Akamaru likes it when the blonde shinobi plays with him.
"Hey Akamaru!" Kiba called but was too late. He glanced at Hinata who is very focused on grilling their food at the moment. He knows that she likes Naruto, but right now, the guy is outside with his girlfriend.
He wanted to spare her the akward encounter.
Before he could react, Shino was on it. "Hina... Would you like to go someplace else?"
Hinata looked at Shino gratefully. Her teammates knows her well.
Naruto stopped when a giant bag of fur descended upon him. "Hey Akamaru..."
Sakura patted the dog's large head. "So Kiba is here..."
Sasuke crossed his arms as he leaned on a pole next to him. He mentally reminded himself to tell Kakashi to never assign Naruto as his watch next time. He may consider this dobe to be his closest friend but the guy always managed to push his patience to the limits.
"Hey Akamaru, where is Kiba?" Sakura asked.
Akamaru whined and looked at the resto grill. "Arfff."
The blue eyed blonde took Sakura's hand and Sasuke's collar as he made his way to the aromatic place. "Ramen can wait...let's see our comrades first."
Hinata and Shino is about to leave the place when Naruto came bounding in. The place have only one entry so they have to stopped on their tracks to let the other pass.
"Shino...Hinata..." Naruto scratched his head while a sheepish expression appeared on his face. "You guys finished eating already?"
Hinata's eyes lingered on Naruto's hand which holds Sakura's tightly. She willed herself to look at their faces. "Naruto kun...Sakura chan..." Hinata saw Sasuke behind the two with a deadly expression on his face. Hinata guessed that the Uchiha is not a willing addition to the trio. "Sasuke san..."
"H-Hinata..." Sakura felt akward. She was the one of the first to know that this white eyed Anbu likes Naruto. She cannot help but feel guilty about her relationship with the blonde.
"Hey..." Kiba joined the group. "You are blocking the entrance."
Sasuke watched with amusement as his favored blue haired guard tried her best to maintain a relaxed look. She still likes this dobe...
"We are just going to Shino kun's place... Are you three planning to eat here?" Hinata asked.
Naruto shook his head. "We saw Akamaru...we just wanted to see if there are people we know here that I could convince to eat ramen with us."
Shino placed his hand on Hinata's shoulder. "We should go Hina..." The silent Aburame gave the three a nod. "Sakura...Naruto...Sasuke."
Naruto and Sakura stepped back in order to let Shino and Hinata pass. Sasuke on the other hand found a chance to slip from Naruto's threat of letting him eat bowls of greasy ramen.
He looked at the Aburame. "Can I go with you?"
