(Naruto) Team Seven: Life Returned (OLD)

Wave Pt. 2

Naruto blinked, and then put on a wide grin, "Well, I've got good news and better news"

Naruto was with Sakura and Kakashi, who, after the request of Tazuna, after setting up camp for the late afternoon decided to sit around the campfire while Sasuke hunted and looked for food. Tazuna was sleeping after all the mental abuse he had gotten from Kakashi's killer intent

"What's the good news then?" Kakashi asked as he watched the flames dance from the fire. His eye watching every spark fly off. It wasn't that he wasn't interested. More like he was bored since he had read Icha Icha so many times and he still felt bitter that the Icha Icha movie he waited for was discontinued just because he travelled through time

Naruto looked at Kakashi and Sakura with a grin"Well, one would say this is good news for me and great news for the foreseeable future" Naruto said with a knowing smirk.

"Well, then spit it out!" Sakura said eagerly

"Well, first news" Naruto cleared his throat " would be that Kurenai-san and her team will be the one who'll come and support us for this mission."

Kakashi nodded. Though he would have chosen Gai just because he was more in-tune with him, and their teamwork was impecabble against all of that 'youth' crap, Kurenai would be a good second choice. 'All according to plan' Kakashi thought

Sakura was confused before she realised who Kurenai's consisted of and then looked at the blonde with a smirk "I see what's good about that for you" Sakura smirked "Hinata" she had said with a playful tone.

Naruto just grin and nodded, "You'll like the second news more though Sakura-chan" maintaining his big grin knowing how the girl would react.

Sakura did not reply and waited expectantly. Naruto breathed out and said "Tsunade Baa-chan is back in Konoha!"

Sakura looked at the blonde and stared at him before opening her mouth with a big 'O' before saying "What!?" with a surprised look

"Yeah! I met Baa-chan when I went to the Hokage's tower" Naruto paused and continued "Well, my clone did it but you get the point"

Sakura had a smile on her face "After this I'm gonna meet with Tsu-" she started saying before they heard leaves ruffle which put them on guard. It was for naught when Sasuke appeared with a bear, dead on his shoulder

"Who wants to clean this?" Sasuke said with absolute boredom on his face as he drop the bear and the ground shook. The rest just looked on Sasuke in sheer awe and a 'w-what?' can be heard in the background as Tazuna looked out his tent

"Is that right?" Jiraiya looked at the short, stout man in interest. If this information was true...

"Yeah, a shitstorm happened there. Or that's what I heard from a couple of Shinobis who passed here. I thought you shinobis were all hush hush?" The short man said humorly as he drank from a glass.

"Well, most of us anyways" Jiraiya said as he laughed then he gave the short man a small package

"This is for you, for your services" Jiraiya winked at the man who smirked and nodded before leaving the table with a grim look on his face

"I gonna need to tell the brat personally"

The Shinobi hospital was known by everyone as the best hospital the country had to offer. It was the epitome of medical achievements, able to give the world many medical-nin that were very much needed for the war-torn world, and one of, if not, the best medical-nin in their time
