Sakura and Naruto walked the land until coming to the battle point of the Uchiha, who had tried walking back to them but was a bit tired and decided it'd be a lovely idea to just...Well more or less he collapsed after the battle.

"So much for the two year training trip eh Teme?" Naruto asked the unconscious Uchiha. Sakura began to place her hands over him letting her green chakra bathe over his skin. As Sasuke became responsive to the healing he could hear Sakura telling Naruto to knock it off before he opened his eyes looking at both of them.

"How long...was I out for?" He stated groggily.

"How should we know...we Just got here..." Naruto stated turning around and looking at the battle field. The crystalized sand from the lightning attack, a half charred remains of a body. "All in all, it was a good day." he stated before seeing Sakura wince. "Oh don't worry about the old woman, I'm sure she's resting comfortably now." He stated. Sakura nodded her head as Naruto picked Sasuke up throwing him over his shoulder. "Come on dead weight. We need to get back to Suna. The sooner they know these two are dead..the better." he stated.

As they left the scene the body's of Deidara and Sasori were swooped up by a mysterious green figure. "Two dead already...He's not going to like this. Not one bit." he stated before disappearing with the bodies. "Most unfortunate in deed."

*Back at Sunagakure*

With the three of them finally arriving back in Sunagakure they went to go talk to Gaara to let him know of the mission details. Once they got to see Gaara, he was sitting in his chair with a stack of papers in front of him. If one was to listen closely they could hear him muttering about how all tree's would be buried under a desert of sand and something about a paper shortage. Naruto chuckled as he set Sasuke down against the wall since he couldn't really move that well.

Sakura continued her healing of the Uchiha as Naruto and Gaara began to talk. "I assume the two infiltrators were captured." Gaara stated. He didn't care if they were captured or killed, but getting information out of them would had been nice.

"Dead. Both of them put up hell of a fight. Next time we'll bring you a souvenir though." Naruto stated throwing Gaara one of his kunai. "How ever don't expect it to be too soon. Who know's what our mission detail in Konoha is going to be." Naruto finished.

"I'll contact Kakashi-dono as soon as possible about your mission here. And I'm to assume you can reach me via this kunai correct?" Gaara asked Naruto as Naruto nodded. "Then we'll be in contact. I'm sure there's more you wish to talk about." He stated as Naruto nodded. With Sasuke being able to stand on his own he walked over to Sakura and Sasuke.

"Alright with that being said we'll catch up later. Hold on guys..it's gonna be one hell of a ride." Naruto stated. Sakura and Sasuke started to protest before in a flash they disappeared out of Suna. Appearing back in Konoha, Sasuke and Sakura both fell on their butt's looking up at Naruto. "You need to...warn us when you do that." Sasuke Stated.

"But that's half the fun." Naruto stated as he walked up to the chuunin at the gate. "Hey we're back from our mission." He stated. The chuunin were still a bit wary of him due to his bingo book mentioning, but they were obligated to let the Konoha Shinobi in. With the reunited team 7 heading towards the Kage Mansion, the began to talk about what they would give to Kakashi as their mission report. Coming up with the solid facts and what needed to be said, they made their way up the stairs to Kakashi.

"I see you've returned. How was Suna?" Kakashi asked with a simple lazy tone.

"It went well...we were able to take down two of Akatsuki so...anything that cripples their numbers is alright with me. I want to finish this as soon as possible though, this arrangement we have...Taking down Akatsuki should be simple enough to do. But first...I'm going to do some recon on them." He stated while making a lone shadow clone appear. The shadow clone disappeared in a flash to outside the gate of Konoha. It started running towards the direction of Amegakure.

"We'll know more about Ame in a minute." he stated. Kakashi looked at him a bit worried as he was hurrying things.

"Are you that eager to leave Konoha, Naruto?" Kakashi asked.

"The sooner I leave the better. Plus, I have unfinished business with Iwa, and being associated with Konoha is not a good look for you guys. They'll be getting worried at this rate." He stated while pulling out a kunai and picking his nails. He got a bolt from the back of his mind as his clone had dispelled once it got inside of Ame and got a good look and feel.

"So the buildings are pretty interesting, how ever the entire village is covered in a rain that is able to sense all chakra within the rain. My clone was almost found out instantly and only had a moment to dispell, though they know something is up and are probably going to increase their guard. There's no way to sneak in unnoticed. I was able to sense two chakra signatures. The chakra signature in the eyes of one of them resemble an Uchiha...I don't know if it's Itachi or someone else..." Naruto stated. His explanation of Ame was quiet useful but they needed more information.

"So what do you wish to do Hokage-sama?" Sakura asked. Kakashi put down his brush for a moment and began to think. How could he handle Amegakure. He could try the direct approach and just send Naruto in there and let him destroy everything in sight, it was the simplest and easiest approach. But the back lash of that would be if Naruto was to fail, and there's a chance he could, Ame would come after Konoha putting the village in danger.

"The best thing to do...is to wait and see. Attacking now is too soon, we need more information and details that have not yet been explained. Maybe Jiraiya-sama could sneak into Amegakure. Do you think you could get through that kind of detection barrier?" Kakashi asked.

"I could try, but once I got in...I'd be completely given away. It's not a good idea for me to just go in there and try to snoop around this time around. The next time I go...it'll be me and Naruto and Sasuke. I could use their skills. Sakura you'll have to be the medic on standby for when we get back." Jiraiya smiled.

While Sakura didn't like the diea of being left alone in Konoha, she understood her position. She wasn't sneaky and if anything her fighting style would lead the enemy right to them. She nodded in understanding and looked at Kakashi. "Alright you guys, you're dismissed for now. We'll call you back with your next mission." Kakashi stated as Team 7 left. "This..is going to be troublesome." Kakashi stated as he picked up his brush to continue his stack of papers.
