BOOOOOM! Seven bandits were taken out by the explosive tag hurled by Sasuke to start their fight. Kou shunshined in and began slashing with his kunai. Naruko was using her taijutsu and clones to bulldoze through enemies. Sasuke had activated his one-tomoe sharingan and was repeatedly using the Phoenix Sage Flower Jutsu to take out any bandits out of their range. Kou felt himself slowing down and on the last few bandits he heard Naruko yell, "Sasuke behind you." "He saw a man with a slashed Kumo headband and flak jacket behind Sasuke about to stab a tanto in his back. He shunshined behind Sasuke blocking the tanto and getting stabbed in the stomach.
He saw Kakashi flicker behind the man and stab him through the chest he fell down and felt someone pick him up. He heard voices yelling and felt something touch his stomach he saw a two tomoe sharingan look him in the eye he felt exhaustion and fell asleep.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. He woke up to the slow monotonous beeping of machines in the hospital. He winced from the bright sunlight and looked over to see the familiar raven hair of Sasuke Uchiha he tried to push himself up and before he could get up Sasuke jerked awake and gently pushed him back into bed. "How long have I been out?" "Three days." "What are you doing here?" "I just wanted to thank you. That missing nin could've killed me and for your actions you have earned my and the whole Uchiha's respect. After the fight over using fire style jutsu wore me out and I wasn't ready to fight. When you got hit my left sharingan awakened the second tomoe. If there's anything you need just tell me." Kou laughed "We're teammates, besides you have people you need to come home to." "I don't like owing debts." Sasuke tensely replied. "There are no debts between friends." Kou waved him off.
If Kou had blinked he would've missed it but he could've sworn he saw the smallest of smiles creep onto Sasuke's face. Before it was gone. "Do you want me to bring your clothes and help you check out?" "Sure thanks." He sat up on the bed and looked at his stomach he had the tiniest white line as a scar but nothing else. He rubbed it and winced it still feeling tender. Sasuke returned and tossed him his black pants and a grey high collar Uchiha shirt. Looking curiously at him, Sasuke hastily replied, "Your shirt and jacket were destroyed and your apartment didn't have any more so I asked my dad and he said it wouldn't be a problem if you wore a Uchiha shirt." "Thanks, What time is it?" "Eleven, why?" "We can probably try to make team training if we shunshin." "Alright, let's go." Sasuke responded as they jumped out the window."
They rushed through the city as the wind rushed through the city. They landed in front of training ground seven and Sasuke turned to him, "here's our pay from the mission." "I'm not gonna take your pay." "Consider it a thank you for our mission." Kou blushed in realization Sasuke had seen his barren apartment. He slowly accepted the money and stuffed it into his pocket.
They slowly walked into the training ground and Naruko turned and grinned, "Where were you I was so lonely." She looked between them and smirked, "Awwwww, Kou you and Sasuke make such a cute couple he's already marked you with his clothes. Who's top?" She giggled before Sasuke bashed her head. She giggled the Fox healing already rushed at Sasuke and tried to pull down his collar. "Show me your hickies Sasuke-Chan." She giggled as she charged Sasuke who substituted with Kou, she fell onto him and it was the exact moment Kakashi chose to show up.
"Glad you're getting so comfortable." He said with a perverted chuckle, Kou blushed crimson as his eyes while Naruko began laughing with her hair shadowing her eyes. "My godfather is Jiraiya of the Sannin, it takes far more than that to embarrass me, she began to giggle as she stood up. Kakashi tensed getting a bad feeling. She yelled out to the air, "Kaa-Chan." The ground began to rumble as a dust cloud quickly moved towards them. Kakashi shunshined before a frying pan could take his head off.
Naruko's mom stood with her hair rising in nine tails before chasing Kakashi through the forest. "You guys wanna come get lunch at my house?" Sasuke asked "Sure." "Yeah let's go." Naruko and Kou responded before they walked of while the forest shook with screams.
