As Sasuke and Sakura got out of the Akatsuki hideout, Sakura felt an enormous headache in her head. She fell on her knees in pain.

"Sakura!" Sasuke said, quickly falling on his knees as well and looked at Sakura with a worried look. Sakura was covering her head with pained expression, however, the pain was soon gone.

"I'm fine," Sakura said, getting up.

"SAKURA-CHAN!!!!!!!!!" Naruto yelled as he saw Sasuke and Sakura safe, coming outside. Sakura smiled at his foolishness. She could also see Sai, Shikamaru, and Ino standing next to Naruto.

"Good to have you back," Suigetsu said, smirking. Sakura also gave him a smile.

"Welcome back," Juugo said, smiling, while Karin just stood beside him. Sakura gave her a glare and went off to Ino.

"Forehead girl..." Ino said, half crying and half smiling. Sakura quickly went up to her and gave her a hug. "Stop worrying me," Ino added.

"Since when did you worry about me?" Sakura said jokingly. "Ino-pig.." She also added.

"Do I get a hug?" Naruto said with sparkling eyes, not noticing the glare from Sasuke.

"Haha, sure." Sakura said, giving Naruto a hug.

"Whoa!" Naruto yelled suddenly. Everyone looked at him with a questioning look. "Sakura-chan!"

"Yeah?" Sakura answered.

"When did your boobs get so big?" Naruto said... The next thing you know, he was flying into the woods.

"BAKA!" Sakura yelled, obviously pissed off. Then her attention went to Sai, who was sighing at Naruto's stupidity. Sakura went up to him; he was one of her closest friends after all.

Sai noticed Sakura coming up to him and stared at her. When she was close enough, he quickly hugged her tightly, which made Sasuke furious.

"Haha.. Missed me?" Sakura said jokingly, feeling quite awkward.

"..." Sai did not reply, but continued to hold her until everyone coughed.

"Cough cough.. Okay, let's get going now," Shikamaru said.

"Aww, aren't they adorable, Shikamaru?" Ino said, grabbing onto Shikamaru's arm.

"...Troublesome.." Shikamaru sighed.

Sasuke quickly got beside Sakura, quite protectively, while she was talking to her friends.

"But isn't it weird how we didn't get into any fights?" Ino said, thinking.

"Yeah... That's why I'm still worried." Shikamaru said.

"This could mean war," Sai murmured.

"WAR?" Naruto yelled, freaking out. Sakura also looked at Sai with wide eyes.

"Because of me...?" Sakura said with a guilt.

"Yes," Sai said. "It is possible if they are Akatsuki."

Everybody was now in a deep thinking mode.

"But... Wait, so Sakura-chan is coming back to Konoha?" Naruto said, tilting his head. Everyone turned to Sakura, who looked confused.

"Uhm.." Sakura said, scratching her head. "Am I?" She then quickly turned to Sasuke, everyone's attention now on him.

Sasuke looked around and sighed. Then he said, "We'll have to rest anyways... So we'll be going to Konoha also."

"We as in..?" Suigetsu said.

"Hebi," Sasuke replied.

"We're going to Konoha?" Karin asked him, not liking this fact.

"Yes," Sasuke said.

"But aren't you a missing-nin there?" Suigetsu said, raising his eyebrow.

"It doesn't matter," Sasuke said.

Juugo's neck was hurting from turning it back and forth.

"Stop it guys!" Juugo said, annoyed. "We're going to Konoha. Period."

"Will Tsunade accept him?" Sakura asked, worried.

"It depends..." Shikamaru said.

"Whether he will be with us," Sai said.

"Without betraying us," Ino said.

"Again," Naruto finally said.
