บท 94: Chapter 094
It was late in the afternoon that team seven trudged through the gates of Konoha. The trip home had been rather quiet and awkward for the three genin. Naruto had been silent the entire way, not even making the usual snide and sarcastic remarks to anyone in the group as he was wont to do, and had seemingly withdrawn into himself almost as soon as they had left Nami. Sasuke had switched between continuously playing with his Sharingan and glaring at and or trying to goad Naruto into a fight. Having heard that the blond had single handedly decimated Gato and his forces that had shown up after the battle, the raven-haired avenger had been disappointed that he had not gotten to prove himself against the horde of thugs Gato had come with, and jealous that Naruto had been able to do that while he had been knocked out. And so now he wanted nothing more than to fight Naruto and prove that he could beat the blond, feeling secure in his chances of winning now that he had his sharingan. Sakura had also been surprisingly quiet, switching between looking longingly at Sasuke and worriedly at Naruto; she was still going through some minor shock at having seen the blond cry. It did not help that Kakashi had chosen to read his book instead of trying to engage in conversation and make sure his students were alright.
Though that was mainly due to the fact that Kakashi had no clue what to do or say, having never had to deal with this kind of situation. Naruto refused to talk to him, or anyone. Sakura only tried talking to Sasuke, and she did not really get involved in this mission enough that it had any effect on her psyche. And Sasuke did not seem to be bothered at the fact that he had killed two chunin, focusing his attention on either his new red eyes or Naruto. The silver haired jonin now had even more respect for his sensei than he had previously thought possible, the man had made this seem so easy but apparently it was anything but.
"Ah! Kakashi-san," Kotetsu, one of the gate guards who had become known as the eternal Chunin along with his partner Izumo, greeted as soon as they entered the gate. "I see you've returned. I trust the mission went well?"
Kakashi grimaced on the inside, well would not be how he put this mission, but he kept an indifferent face as he showed them his and his teams identification papers. "As well as can be expected for my team's first time out of Konoha," Kakashi replied in a nonchalant voice.
Izumi who sat next to Kotetsu nodded, "Yeah, I remember my first time out of the village. Not quite the experience I had expected as a Genin either."
"That's because you accidentally sat in poison ivy," Kotetsu snickered.
"Shut up man." Izumo shot his partner a small glare, "Did you have to bring that up?"
"Yes," Kotetsu answered with a grin, "you sat in poison ivy, and then you had to have a specialized ointment for your ass."
Kakashi ignored the two as they began to squabble since he had grown used to it by now. Turning around he looked at his team, "I'm going to report to the Hokage. Since this mission was a bit…more than we had anticipated, you three can head home and rest while I give my report."
Sasuke nodded and left as soon as he said that, hands in his pocket and his 'I care about nothing, I'm an Uchiha' attitude in place.
Sakura gave one last look to her sensei and the unusually quiet Naruto before leaving as well, following after Sasuke in the hopes of maybe getting a date.
