Change POV/ FF

Sasuke Uchiha frowned. Once again, that stupid blond was bothering him for a spar.

"Hell. No." Sasuke glared.

"Fine." Naruto grumbled, and then just sat on a nearby rock. Kakashi finally appeared.

"We're going to the Hokage's office to get a mission." He said, poofing away. Naruto grumbled something rude before stompling off towards the tower. Sasuke just starting walked. Sakura started to ask him out for about the 30th time that day.

"No." Sasuke growled. Then he noticed something.

"Where's the dobe?" He asked.

"Dunno. " sakura remarked.

Naruto's POV

Naruto had jumped away from his teammates, mainly due to the fact taht they bored him. Naruto wished that he had better teammates. Theburame and the Nara would've worked fine. Or, if he had to have a girl on his team, the Nara and the Yamanka. Anything besides the overly angysty Uchiha and the annoying Haruno. But, he had to make the best of what he had. he made it to the kage tower, and looked around. His teammates were halfway there.

Naruto leaned against teh wall, and took out a small white fltue. He played a simple tune, and waited. Seconds later, a lengthy and elegant reply rippled across the air. Naruto smiled. Uta was close by, at least within a 45 mile raidus. The flutes were small, but they reached far. And it sounded as though she were about 3 miles away from Konoha's border. Naruto played a few notes, questioning on her wellbeing. He recieved a happy chorus of high notes, meaning that she was fine and had just completed a mission. Naruto noticed that his teammates were at the tower, so he played a few farewell notes and then headed into the tower.

Sakura's POV

Sakura sighed deeply. Sasuke wasn't talking to her, but at least Naruto wasn't around. Sakura was about to try to ask Sasuke out again, when a little sparkle of sound drifted from the general direction of the Hokage tower. then, and amazing response answered back. The exchange continued, a gentle set of low notes from the tower, answered by a happy wave of higher notes. By the time she and

Sasuke had gotten to the tower, the tower responded with a few kind notes, and then quieted. Sakura sighed, wondering who made that beautiful sound, and then she climbed up to the hokage's office.

Kakashi's POV

Kakashi sighed. Histeam was as disfunctional as ever. The Uchiha was brooding, the girl was drooling because the Uchiha was brooding, and Naruto was yelling at the kage for a higher level mission. Kakashi signed. 'Naruto.' Kakashi wished that he knew more about his blond student. Kakashi raised his eyebrow at the hokage. They had jsut recieved a mission. they had to take a man named Tazuna to the mist. Kakashi just stared at the drunken man argued with Naruto. 'Interesting.'
