When the team got back to Konoha it had only been a total of 7 days. In that time Naruto kept sucking Aoi chakra out of him only leaving enough to keep his alive. Everytime Sakura would wake up the group would force her to carry Sasuke until she passed out again. Sasuke was put out thanks to a few well placed pressure points from Tenten and Kakashi.

The group walked through the gates and went straight toward the Hokage tower. On thier way a squad of ANBU appeared and Kakashi said "Dragon, tell Ibiki to meet us at the Hokage tower, we have a present for him."

The Dragon faced ANBU said "Hai." as he motioned for the squad and they all disappeared.

Naruto scowled and said "Lee." drawing said boys attention.

Lee stepped up to beside Naruto and Naruto whispered "Run ahead and contact Alpha, have him do a scan of the village and also warp my PDA to him. The batteries are dead. Then meet us at the Hokage tower and have the Hokage get a doctor for Sasuke."

Lee nods and runs ahead of the group until he was out of site.

Gai asked "Where is Lee going Naruto."

Naruto said "I just was having him go and get a doctor for Sasuke. He does have 4 broke ribs."

Sakura screached "Sasuke-kun has 4 broke ribs."

Gai immideately dropped her on her ass and stepped on her stomach never breaking stride and said "Now that your done pretending to be asleep you can carry your own self."

Sakura gasped for breath and Naruto snickered and said "Well at least you protected her with chakra when you stepped on her."

Gai smiled and said "So you noticed huh."

Naruto nods and Tenten asked "So are you finally going to tell me where your staying now."

Naruto said "Hmm, what do I get if I do tell you."

Tenten said "To live another few minutes."

Naruto nods and said "Then nope." as he grabbed a senbon that was flying toward his ass before pocketing it and said "At this rate I wont have to by weapons ever again."

Tenten growled and Naruto yelped as the senbon that was in his pocket exploded blowing a whole in the side of his pants.

Naruto said "Was that really necessary, if you wanted me out of my pants you didn't have to blow them off."

Tenten went beat red before screaming and tried to hit Naruto with a kunai only for it to go into Aoi leg.

Ibiki who was standing at the tower said "Hey, don't ruin my present with kunais...Thats my job." with a smile on his face that even froze Kakashi and Gai.

Naruto dropped Aoi on the ground and said "Hes all yours but hes now a Rain nin also and he was working with a couple of chunnin level Iwas. Here are the heads of all the mercs and the 2 nins as well." handing the scroll he sealed them all in to Ibiki.

Ibiki nods and said "So I take it your the new kid I heard everyone talking about. The one who shows up and basically kicks ass and takes names. Your also the one who was seen groping a girl while floating in the air."

Naruto said "Hey, it wasn't a grope...It was a slap on the ass." making everyone sweatdrop.

Tenten yelled "Baka." and tried to punch Naruto only for him to grab her wrist, form a mini tornado whirlwind around her making her dizzy and then he grabbed her and dipped her back and said "Why do you keep trying to play with my head. First you try and blow my pants off and now you try to pound me. You are a dirty little girl." as he smiled making her spin as he stood her back up.

Tenten said "Damn it Naruto. I am so going to give you a hard time."

Naruto put his hand under his chin and said "Don't you mean you want me to give you my hard time."

Tenten went beat red again but this time she blew back with a nosebleed.

Naruto held up his hand and Kakashi grabbed the money in it and Naruto said "So you were right, she does think pervertedly about me."

Ibiki snickered as he left in a swirl of leaves with Aoi.

Naruto picked up Tenten bridal style and the group went inside.

When they got to the Hokage office Lee was sitting on the window seal and a doctor was there and the third saw the blood on Tenten and Sakura who was holding her stomach and Sasuke who was passed out screamed "Doctor, help them now."

The doctor runs to check on Tenten and said "P.N.S." as he ran over to Sakura and said "Just a bruised rib sir." and then ran over to Sasuke and said "Hes going to need to get to the hospital. He has 4 broke ribs."

The third said "Ok, take him and Sakura and get them both fixed."

The doctor nods and grabs Sasuke before walking out with Sakura behind them.

Once they were gone the third looked at Naruto and said "Alright, what happened."

Kakashi said "Sasuke wounds are self inflicted sir."

The third blinked and blinked again and asked "How can someone break 4 of thier own ribs."

Naruto said "We were traveling at high chunnin speed sir and I had a Kagebunshin carrying Sasuke and Sakura because we were trying to use the storm that came through the area as cover. Neither of them have the conditioning to keep up with us for long. Anyways Sasuke was passed out and when he woke up he decided to kill my clone in mid jump not realising it was a Kagebunshin. When it was destroyed he fell toward the next treebranch at chunnin level speed and hit it breaking his ribs as well as alerting the enemy to our position."

The third sweatdropped and said "Does everyone agree."

When everyone nods the third said "What about Sakura."

Gai said "My arms were tired of carring her on the way back so I dropped her when she woke up and I did not react in time to keep from stepping on her."

The third nods and said "Was the mission a success."

Kakashi said "Yeah, we captured Aoi and he is in Ibikis hands right now getting some info about why 2 Iwa nins were paired up with a Rain nin using mercs to attack towns. Here is the Raijin also." putting the small tube on the table.

The third said "Very well, anyone have anything else to say."

Neji asked "If I may sir, what is P.N.S. and why did you not ask why Tenten has blood on her."

The third said "Perverted Nose Syndrome. Its when the brain has an overload of perverted thoughts."

Naruto said "Sounds like its quite common." as he smiled behind his mask.

The third said "Very. Anyways, is there anything else to report."

No one said anything and the third said "Everyone but Naruto may leave."

As everyone left Naruto still was holding tenten bridal style and the third asked "So."

Naruto said "She has intrigued me sir. I will admit that. Her fighting style and her trust in me and Lee show good judgement but shes very easily enraged when someone insults her as a woman or a ninja or act perverted. I tested her on those along with a few other things and she reacts without much thought, though she is learning, the last attack she did on me blew a hole in my pants so she starting to think before attacking. I think we might put her in the trials to see if she can pass."

The third asked "What exactly are the trials."

Naruto walked over and set Tenten on the couch and hit a pressure point making sure she was out and said "The trials are a test of judgement, courage, strength, character, and stamina. If I were to give the trials to her I would like for Lee, myself, and her to be off of duty for the next month. We won't be in Konoha and wont be able to be contacted either. If she passes she would be a ranger, if not well, I don't really know, all those who actually were deemed worthy to take the trials have always passed and became rangers. I guess we can put her in the hospital and make her believe she had a head injury and everything she sees or hears is a dillusion."

The third frowned and asked "Are there any others you see who might be qualified."

Naruto thought and said "Currently no, I have only been interacting with mostly this group and have not really seen anyone else."

The third nods and asked "So how big of a team do you need."

Naruto said "A full team is usually 6 but there have been occasional teams of 3."

The third asked "So when do you want to leave."

Naruto sighed and said "The sooner the better. In fact we could leave now since to pass this test she does not really need to know its a test and since shes asleep would make it easier to set up. It has to be as real as possible to prove accurately."

The third sighed and said "Very well but I am trusting you with both hers and Lees safety. I want you back in one month."

Naruto nods as he picks Tenten up and said "Can you inform her father shes on a long term mission out of town again and don't tell anyone where we actually are."

The third nods and Naruto and Tenten disappeared in a white beam.
