---------------------------
When Naruto arrived at the bridge it was the same as it had always been; meaning of course that Sasuke was brooding and Sakura was staring at her obse- I mean love interest. "Hey Sakura-chan… Basta-" he never got to finish the sentence because Sakura's fist slammed into the top of his head.
"Don't call Sasuke-kun a bastard Naruto!" Naruto was just getting back to his feet when Sakuras fist landed none to gently on his head again. "And your late Naruto-baka!!" Grumbling quietly to himself he made his way to the other side of the bridge to wait for Kakashi-sensei. If either of his teammates noticed his silence they didn't comment on it. Naruto didn't let it bother him, he had to much on his mind.
What would happen if he was removed from the team. He wasn't stupid enough to believe he would be placed on a different team, and because of how long he had been an active shinobi he couldn't be ranked as a civilian. Non-shinobi for the village had to much freedom and even retired shinobi still had to have permission to leave the village, for fear of village secrets falling into the wrong hands; or any hands that were not of Konoha for that matter.
And what would happen to his team. There was no such think as a two man Gennin Cell. Would Cell 7 be disband? And how would his teammates react, he knew Sasuke would likely make some snide remark and Sakura would cheer, happy to have Sasuke all to herself. And Kakashi-sensei, would he see him as trash for leaving his teammates?
But none of them seemed to think highly of him in the first place. But Narutos depressing thoughts were cut short by the poof of smoke followed by their sensei's arrival.
"YOU'RE LATE!!!!" Sakura screeched. Naruto chose to remain silent today and Kakashi shot him a look before dismissing it using one for his excuses. Naruto chose to ignore it speaking up suddenly.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei, what happens to a gennin team if something happens to one of them?" Kakashi shot him a slightly dark look, the question bringing up memories he would rather not think about, but it was gone before any of the Gennin could pick it up.
"Mmmmmm…. Well the last two are placed on D rank missions until a replacement is found. Why do you ask?" Naruto just shrugged.
"No reason. Are we doing missions or training today?" Naruto asked, hoping Kakashi wouldn't look to far into his question.
"I think training sounds like a good idea. You and Sasuke haven't spared since we've gotten back from Wave. I'd like to see how mush you have improved." With that he turned on his heel and slouched towards their preferred training ground, his Gennin following him like a trail of ducklings.

ANBU P.O.V.
The cat masked man had managed to arrive at the bridge only a few seconds before Naruto. And he winced as the Gennin received a painful welcome and scolding. He made a mental note over the females behavior, that issue should have already have been addressed. He continued watch the silent team un ill there sensei arrived and made another mental note over the time. All Gennin teams had a set number of hour a week they were supost to met. He would have to check the log book at the tower after this.
Kakashi was known for always being late, but never more than a half hour. By Harunos reaction it looked like a regular thing for him to be an hour or more. The Anbu continued to watch as they made their way to training ground 7. Hatake giving the girl chakra exercises while instructing the two boys to spar. The spar was simple enough to begin with and looked mostly one sided with the Uchiha boy holding the upper hand. How ever the gears seemed to shift when Uzumaki managed to land a rather painful looking punch.
The change in the Uchiha was almost tangible as rage seemed to consume his being. This was also something to note. The boy the pulled out a kunai and launched it at his teammate how managed to dodge the weapon sinking almost to the hilt of the tree behind him.
The Anbu looked to their teacher, who should have stopped the fight, as all shinobi of Gennin rank were to practice with blunted kunai when sparring with other shinobi. But the man had his head in his book, only looking up when he had to turn the page. He made another note.
He watched them for the rest of the day, his worry increasing as nothing improved. By the time the team departed for the day he had more than enough to tell the Hokage.
