(A/N) Right, So, Sakura's just wearing a jacket over her normal clothes, the same color as her shorts. It has a lot of extra pockets on it, all with storage seals lining the inside, courtesy of Naruto and a ninja tailor that sewed the seals into the inner lining. Sasuke also isn't wearing white as a complimenting color, he's wearing dark grey instead. All his pants ended up dark grey anyway, cause of soot and stuff. Naruto is still wearing Kill-Me-Orange. Despite Sakura's protests.
As the smoke cleared, Kakashi was left standing there, a bit charred, but mostly intact. Maybe he was worse then he looked, cause he almost immediately fell over, passing out.
Sakura sighed, catching him and lowering him to the ground slowly so he didn't hurt himself. She placed his head on the ground, then her hands lit up green with healing jutsu. "Sasuke-kun, get over here. You blew him up, you can help heal him."
Sasuke obediently walked over, and his hands lit up with green light.
Snickering sounded from behind them. "You blew up Kakashi?"
As Sakura and Sasuke were busy, Naruto turned to the new arrivals. "Yes, we blew him up."
Akiko started outright laughing, even as she went over to kneel next to Kakashi. "Thought this might happen. Katana, get over here and help heal my poor ex-boyfriend."
Katana nodded, walking over and joining the other three in healing the charred Kakashi.
Naruto turned his attention to the other people that had come. "So, you guys heard the explosion?"
Shinta nodded lazily. "I'm sure the entire village did. You were just short of leveling the entire training ground."
Naruto blushed. "It was a mishap. I grabbed the wrong low yield tag. I accidentally grabbed one that's on the higher end of low yield."
"S-So, you h-have a classification s-system?" Hinata asked, stumbling over her words.
Naruto nodded excitedly. "Sakura-chan came up with it! Low yield is the ones that are little more than smoke producers, to ones that can level a single training field. Middle yield is the ones that are predicted to be able to level the entire forest of death, to ones that are predicted to be able to destroy areas that are the four Hokage faces across squared. High Yield is everything else! Including the stuff that is predicted to be able to destroy all of Konoha and stuff that is predicted to be able to destroy islands."
"The middle and high yield measurements were labeled as predicted to be able to destroy," Rumi noted.
"Yeah, well, we can't exactly test them," Naruto admitted, rubbing the back of his head. "Killing everyone in Konoha and leveling the place is frowned upon."
"Gosh, you don't say," Rumi muttered.
Kiba frowned speculatively at the Aburame. "Was that sarcasm?"
"Yes, Inuzuka," Shinta replied. "That was the magical thing known as sarcasm."
"The name's Kiba!" Kiba barked. At his side, Akamaru barked as well.
"I know," Shinta said, not bothering to look at him.
"Alright, we can go find some lunch," Akiko said, walking towards them.
Naruto grinned. "Where we going?"
"I heard you like ramen," Akiko replied, smirking.
"Of course I do!" Naruto shouted.
Sakura sighed. "Naruto, if you start a monologue on how much you like ramen again, I will punch you into next week. Kakashi can recover while you're out."
Akiko rubbed Naruto's head, ruffling his hair. "Alright, you'd better avoid the monologuing, your teammate looks serious.
With that Akiko headed off, leaving the blond with his two friends.
"You know that was too high of a yield for that, right?" Sakura asked, looking at him with her 'scolding' expression.
Naruto nodded. Maybe if he accepted the scolding and didn't protest, he'd get off without being grounded. Or on timeout.
Sasuke nodded, as whenever Sakura was talking to one of them, it probably applied to the other as well. And, like Naruto, he didn't want to be grounded. Or put on timeout.
Sakura sighed. Thank Kami she had managed to strike the fear of Kami into their thick heads before they managed to get too powerful. They lived in fear of truly angering her, and it was good. That way, she could keep them from doing stupid stuff. The two were not prodigies by any means, but they were powerful, and she was hard-pressed to keep up with them. From tree-walking to kunai floating, she had trained her chakra control to the point that she was no doubt going to be a medic-nin and a genjutsu master. Sasuke did have potential as a medic, but would most likely specialize in ninjutsu and taijutsu. As for Naruto, the same thing. He had no potential as a medic, too much chakra to ever have that level of chakra control, but he would no doubtedly become a ninjutsu and fuinjutsu specialist. He was progressing rapidly in his fuinjutsu studies, and Sakura guessed it was because, at least in part, of his heritage.
Sakura had been curious about the two boys that had dragged her into their schemes, mostly as damage control, and the only person who could handle all the diplomatic stuff. She'd researched into both of their last names, and parents.
For Sasuke, she'd found exactly what she'd expected. A clan of people specializing in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. However, Sasuke had no intention of going into genjutsu, as in his opinion, it wasn't fun or flashy enough. Oh, and his brother specialized in it. That had helped.
For Naruto, she'd first off found his birth records, which placed his birthday on the day of the Kyuubi attack, then found his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, the Red Hot Habanero. His father wasn't difficult, as once she realized that Naruto looked nothing like Kushina, except in his face and temperament, she realized that all she had to do, was find a male who looked just like Naruto. She'd first gone through the civilian records, if only to assure herself that his father wasn't a civilian, although, with chakra reserves like his, there was little chance his father was a civilian, then through the ninja records. She hadn't found anything there either, then realized that the Hokage records were kept in a separate room. They wouldn't let her in there, but there were plenty of history books with the Hokage's pictures. Not that she needed them, once she came to the conclusion that his dad had to be a Hokage, there were a couple of seconds of narrowing down. First and Second Hokages died too early to be his father, and the Third Hokage was far too old. That left the Fourth Hokage, who, when she checked, actually looked a lot like Naruto. Neon blond hair and bright blue eyes were clearly something he'd gotten from his father, Minato Namikaze.
Of course, she'd went and asked the Hokage about it, and had gotten the truth. He'd asked her how she'd figured it out, to which she asked how no one else had. The Fourth Hokage and Naruto were basically clones of each other. With a couple of slight differences. She'd asked when he was intending to tell Naruto, and got the response of "when he makes Chunin."
She'd asked him why he didn't have his father's surname, and he gave her a flat look and told her to come to her own conclusions.
It hadn't taken her long to figure it out. Minato Namikaze was hated in a lot of the other nations, especially Iwa because he'd killed a lot of them by using his signature Jutsu, which she'd also looked at, and found out that Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, had created the jutsu. That, and the Shadow clone jutsu Naruto had found when he 'borrowed' the Forbidden Scroll. Because Lord Fourth had been hated in a lot of the nations, they would've happily taken any chance to assassinate his son. Lord Third had wanted Naruto to be able to defend himself before anyone actually realized he was The Yellow Flash's son.
She, of course, had told Naruto as soon as she was sure. He was ecstatic to know who his parents had been and agreed to keep the last name Uzumaki, at least until he was old enough, and powerful enough to handle any assassination attempts thrown at him. Personally, Sakura was of the opinion that Naruto could defend himself perfectly fine now, especially with the rate he was improving in fuinjutsu.
"Is something wrong Sakura?" Naruto asked later, shaking her out of her thoughts.
"Huh? No, why do you ask?"
"You've been quieter than normal, barely responding to anything," Sasuke replied, shrugging noncommittally. "Naruto literally asked if he could draw up an explosive tag to show Akiko-sensei, and you just grunted slightly. He, of course, took it as permission and proceeded to show Akiko-sensei one of the low yield explosive tags. He didn't set it off of course, but still. Akiko-sensei has it now, said something about showing it to the other Jounin."
Sakura sighed. Well, at least Naruto didn't have it now. She had enough explosive tags on hand as it was. She didn't need one more. Or any more. Maybe they'd get a mission outside the village sometime soon, and she'd be able to use, or get the boys to use, some of the tags. Maybe soon.
(A/N) This ran a little long. Huh. Well, Sakura's inner monologue hopefully cleared up a few things, showing a bit more about what the trio knows. For Sakura finding out Naruto's parentage, well, it wasn't exactly well hidden…
