Deidei--all previous disclaimers apply, and enjoy the new chapter!!

i know it's short but i have a life outside of fanfiction!


Naruto and the others finished eating quickly, and went to get ready. Sasuke and Naruto sparred and Lee watched while Sakura got a quick shower. Lee got bored and went to train by himself.

With Naruto and Sasuke, training was just routine. And with them both as ANBU now, they enjoyed training compared to missions. Both were blurs to the untrained eye, and as Harry, Ron and Hermione came outside to get them, the yard appeared empty.

"Where are they?" Ron asked and was met by a clang of metal hitting metal as both shinobi reappeared holding short swords. Neither was injured, but Sakura came outside and hit Naruto on the head.

"OW!! Sakura-chan!! What did I do now?!"

"You're scaring Hermione and the others."

"Oh…..but did you have to hit me?"

She just smiled and, looking around, called out to Lee.

"SAKURA-CHAN!!" he appeared in front of her.

"Come on guys, lets go. Mr. Weasley is waiting for us all."

The shinobi and the Golden Trio went around the house to where the others were waiting.

About an hour of walking later, the Weasley family, Hermione and Harry were tired and walking slower than usual. However, the four shinobi were carrying their stuff and Ginny was riding piggyback on Lee, and they were fine not even breaking a sweat.

Muttering in Japanese, Naruto was complaining. "They're so weak!"

"I know Naruto but you have to deal with it." Sasuke replied.

They soon found the portkey, which was an old shoe. They arrived and watched the World Cup, cheering for Ireland with the rest of their group.


Deidei--next is the Dark mark and the train ride!
