Summary: The story takes place at the in Shippuuden when they meet Sasuke (Like the first episode of Shippuuden but after all the other episodes up to 35 for me). They capture him and take him home, only to find out it's no longer safe to be around him. Evil villans want him for their own and Sasuke's more then willing to go with them since he still has been unable to find Itachi. So the Rookies must do everything they can to keep him from escaping and keeping others from getting to him, while bringing him to a safer location.

AUTHOR'S Note: I want to explain how I plan to do make this work. The future, after the 2 1/2 year gap, is going to be the first part of every chapter. The rest of the chapter will be the background story.

Summary: The background story: Takes place before Team Seven goes to protect the man in the race, Idate but after Tsuande becomes Hokage. So between 100 and 102. This will describe the friendships and how relationships come together in the future part.

Pairings! Sasuke x Sakura, Neji x TenTen, Ino x Shikamaru x Temari (NOT a threesome) and Naruto x Hinata. The prominate couples will be SxS, and NxT. SxS will be the only couple in my story however that I will go into great detail physically ;) if you know what I mean. Also, relationships are NOT EASY, and they will not be easy in this story. It will be a long and hard road for everyone. Fun, Fun, Fun. They ARE 15 YEARS OLD in the past which makes them turning 18 in the present!

Thank you for your attention! Please tell me what you think! This is my first Naruto fic so please go easy on me. Things will pick up, especially after I go fully into Shippuuden which will be around chap 10. And just in case you were wondering, I do not own Naruto, If I did, i would not be here.

The Actions We Speak

Close Friends

Sakura watched him with wide green eyes and open mouth. His name had fallen from her lips, the only word she could force out. Her body was rigid, afraid to move and break the trans that he had cast over her with just a simple look. Naruto was questioning but his words were silent to her. Her only thought that made any sense sounded again. 'We found him.'

Sasuke's words however were slashing at her relief, at her private happiness. His words were foriegn, something the Sasuke she had known when younger would never say. Her eyes widened suddenly when he moved. She shifted, her brows knit, 'How could he….' She had not even seen him moved. She could no longer see his face just his body that was so different then what she remembered.

Naruto did nothing as Sasuke leaned upon him. It was odd to see them so close, a way friends should be, not enemies. The young blond boy set his mouth, eyes narrowing as Sasuke's words were the only sound in the air.

Sakura didn't know if she wanted to believe it all. Every time she had thought about it before, prior to this situation, she kept repeating to herself, he had kept Naruto alive for a reason. Somewhere inside Sasuke he wanted them to save him.

But the words, 'on a whim' were replacing these thoughts. Could that really have been it? These past three years no more then wrongful hoping?

She heard the sound of metallic scrape, as Sasuke's chokuto was slowly taken from it's hostler. Why wasn't Naruto doing anything? On second thought, why wasn't she?

Could it be that after nearly three years, she still wasn't strong enough? She still wasn't ready to prove to him that he had made a mistake when he left?

She had prepared herself for this moment, knowing that somewhere inside her that Sasuke was going to fight. She wanted to get stronger to prove to him that she was worth something. That her skills were needed in order to fight Itachi. That's the only reason she strove so far. That's what friends do, they help. That's all they wanted to do.

The tip of the sword was getting closer. 'Do something, Sakura!' Her inner self was screaming. But what, what could she possibly do? How could she get through to someone that no longer thought of her as a friend? That seemed to have completely forgotten all that they've been through together?

The sword went straight through.

Sakura gasped, the only thing she was capable of doing. Her heart stalled in her chest. She hadn't thought….

"I didn't think you could do it….teme…" Naruto whispered. His face unchanging showing none of the pain, not even feeling it. Blood was pouring down his legs, and creating a large puddle at his feet. He ignored the tip of the bloody sword that was in front of him, staring straight ahead, with narrowed eyes. Eyes of disappointment.

Sasuke's arm was still draped over his front, a friendly gesture, no matter the intention. "I knew you couldn't." Sasuke smirked, feeling the small dagger that Naruto held against his side. The boy had pressed it hard enough to draw blood but had not shoved it in his kidney. "Dobe." Sasuke added with a tinge of humor but it was soon lost. He ripped his sword out of Naruto's back, but did not move from his position. "I told you to forget." He stated almost as if he was disappointed.

Naruto tried to smile but it never surfaced. He was too shocked. Too hurt to have any other emotion. "I made a promise. You know me….Sasuke." Naruto held up his knife and from the corner of his eye, he saw Sasuke's feature's widen.

The boy stepped back, holding the wound on his side and he quickly looked to Naruto. "Poison?"

Both boys fell to their knees at the same moment. Sakura finally found herself capable of moving and dropped to Naruto's side, "Why did you do that?" She whispered pleadingly, putting one hand on the front of his chest and the other on the back, quickly covering the bleeding holes, pushing her green chakra into it.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, enraged, "If you take me, you think you will get away so easy?"

"I'm not as naïve as I used to be." Naruto let a fake smile spread across his lips. His eyes lifted to the top of the crater.

Sasuke raised his gaze, quickly finding Konoha shinobi standing on the top of it. He looked all around, his body getting weaker and his eye sight getting hazy. But in the sun's shadow he found Jiraiya and the Hokage Tsunade. He grit his teeth. No one would never come after him with those two here. He looked to Naruto, Sakura was beside him, and green light still glowed from her hands. "I should have killed you." He whispered, his body falling to the floor, his cheek pressed against the dirt.

"I should have saved you." Naruto responded with his own whisper before he too collapsed from the blood loss. He stared ahead of him, looking straight into the face of Sasuke, hearing fading words in the background. Sakura was screaming his name.

Funny, he mused. He had always thought she would have gone to Sasuke first.

PAST

Get this straight: The four kunoichi, were not friends. They had too different personalities to be friends. And no matter what, there was just too much past history for them to ever be friends. However they all had one thing in common at the moment that had linked them together on this sunny afternoon.

Sakura, Ino, Tenten, and Hinata were laying on their bellies, hiding discreetly under thick bushes as they past the binoculars between them. "Who do they think they are?" Sakura hissed, pounding the ground softly.

"They are chauvinist bastards." Ino agreed, yanking the binoculars from Tenten's grasp.

"I can fight just as well as anyone of them." Tenten added.

"Doesn't it make you mad, Hinata?" Sakura questioned aggravated, the female being the most quiet out of all of them.

"I'm not so s-strong." She whispered, lowering her gaze.

"You have your strong suits, just like all of us. But this isn't about those strong suits, this is all about being a girl." She pushed, trying to make herself feel a bit better. Inner Sakura was yelling at her for being such a child. 'Spying, really, how old are you?' She bit her lip, but her words helped her justify the situation. "They didn't want us to join their group session for training, only on the fact that we have breasts and they don't." Hinata cheeks blushed at her vulgarity.

"I kicked Lee's ass a few weeks past." Tenten bragged, she feeling the most betrayed out of all of them. She was better then the three other girls, she wasn't annoying or gushing with adolescent love. There was no reason for her team not to let her join in on their training sessions. But here she was, with the deadbeats of society. She begged Kami not to let anyone find her actually hanging out with them.

"If it wasn't for me," Ino quickly thought of something, "They wouldn't get off their lazy asses to do anything, let alone train."

"Hai, and if it wasn't for me, those two boys would sit all day fighting about the stupidest things." Sakura shook her head, "Like who ate the most, or who could speed walk the fastest. They once had a fight about what color Kiba's dog is."

"That's stupid, it's obvious he's white." Ino mumbled.

"Um…He's beige." Hinata whispered.

"That's not really a color. It's just a shade of white." Sakura looked back over to Hinata but the female's eyes dropped to the ground.

Sakura ripped the binoculars from Ino's grasp, glaring at her for making Hinata feel bad. Ino shrugged looking back to the ground, squinting her eyes. The boys were sparring in pairs, only doing Tai-jutsus. Sakura rolled her eyes, angered even more by their totally disregard to their existence. Like girls can't do tai-jutsus for goodness sake. "Oh, my." She whispered.

"Nani?"

"They're taking off their shirts."

"What are they, gay?" Ino tried to take back the binoculars but Sakura shoved a hand in her face. "What guy takes off his shirt when there are no females present?"

"Apparently all of them. Oh, please not Choji, Please not Choji." She whispered again and again. "Yes. Go sit down. Good debu. Out of the way, Naruto. Come on Sasuke-kun, it's your turn."

"Nani! Let me have it!" Ino quickly tumbled on her, clawing her face and chewing her hair.

Tenten grabbed it when it fell from the female's hand as they fought continuously, seemingly forgetting all about it. She looked through and gasped. "Holy shit." The two girls stalled, awkwardly, one in a head lock, the other poking her in the eye. "Not bad." The three females dropped their heads.

Sakura pulled away and Ino grasped the binoculars quickly and looked through it, "Oh Kami. I'm so jealous. Each one of you gets to work with them while I get lazy ass and fat ass." She hung her head as she cried.

Sakura picked it up, looking through it. "Oh come on. Shikamaru isn't that bad."

"And you know what, I really wouldn't mind it, if he make his baka mendokuse all the freaking time. I mean he's a damn genius, can't he come up with some other word besides, 'mendokuse'. Oh, lately, instead he just goes: 'Joshi' and shakes his head. Like that's suppose to have some meaning."

"At least he acknowledges that you're a girl." Tenten murmured, "I swear those boys don't even realize it sometimes.

"Holy crap. What the hell happen to Neji's back?"

"Here let me see." Ino took them, "Oh my goodness."

"Hai," Tenten nodded. "It's pretty bad, especially up close." The three girls looked to her and she widened her eyes in question. But she quickly realized what they were insinuating, she bit, "It's not like that." They blinked, "Kuso, I don't have to explain anything to you. " She folded her arms, turning her head. It was silent as she grit her teeth, still feeling their penetrating gaze. She sighed, surrendering. "We all went swimming. He had taken off his shirt to get in the water but the moment he caught all of us staring, he put it back on and left. We had all been pretty surprised."

"Did he tell you what happened?"

"Iie. He doesn't really talk to us. I kind of figured it out at the Chuunin exams. He was basically a slave when he was growing up. He was obviously whipped plenty of times."

Sakura and Ino turned their heads to Hinata, "Is that true?"

"I don't know." She stammered, picking at the grass. "It is p-possible."

"Whatever. You guys are beaters and you know it." Tenten bit harshly.

"Tenten." Sakura chastised but the female ignored her with the roll of the eyes. She put her hand upon Hinata's back, patting it softly. The female shyly smiled.

Seemingly oblvious to the transaction going on around her, Ino spoke while looking through the binoculars. "Yosh, someone write this down." Sakura quickly got out a pen and paper from her pouch. "Biggest muscles…. Kiba."

"Let me see." Sakura quickly looked in then shoved them back. "Alright."

"Best abs….Sorry to say this. Lee. Best arms: Neji. Best body overall." Ino squealed, "Sasuke-kun."

"All right!" Her and Sakura slapped hands but quickly their eyes got caught up in a glaring match, "He'll never go for a girl like you, Inoshishi!"

"Like he'd go for a girl with such a wide forehead!"

Tenten picked up the binoculars. "That is what I call an unfair vote."

"Gomen, TenTen, Neji would have tied but his back is way too messed up."

"Who said I wanted Neji to win?"

"Well…I" Sakura suddenly felt afraid for her life. "He's on your team so I thought…"

"That's right. That's the only reason. I'm leaving. Hanging with you girls, I might just drop my IQ." She tossed them the binoculars and quickly vanished.

"Well, someone is a bit touchy." Sakura scoffed.

"I bet she likes the stiff-neck. May I remind her that this has been the only time Neji actually ever came to practice with anyone besides his own team."

"They're both stuck up. They're perfect for each other."

"I'm so glad Naruto beat him at the exam. It brought him down from his high cloud."

"That's right, Naruto beat his ass." Sakura cheered for her team, Ino rolling her eyes, Hinata blushing. "Hold on, what's going on? Why have they stopped?"

"I can't hear them through this damn thing, don't ask me."

"You don't have to be Ama about it."

"I swear to Kami, you little-"

"What if they found out about us?" Their eyes caught each other. "Kuso!" Grabbing Hinata's hand, they made a run for it.

Naruto flipped back, his hand touching the ground to stop himself from sliding. He smiled brightly, "That was awesome, geji mau."

"I learned it strictly from Gai-sensei. He is the best." He declared, grabbing his crutch from the ground to keep himself steady.

The two boys faced Shikamaru and Kiba who were battling each other vehemently. "Why do I have to participate." He complained, stealing a jealous glance over to Choji who was sitting happily, stuffing down chip after chip.

"Are you serious?" Kiba question with a half smile, glancing down to Akamaru who whined, shaking his head. "How you made it to Chunin out of all of us…" He shook his head, kicking as Shikamaru ducked with a yawn. "Hinata would have made a better Chunin then you."

"Sakura-chan would have made a better one." Naruto chimed, sitting on his butt.

Lee coughed, "Tenten would have made an excellent Chunin."

"Sakura-chan is way better then all of them." He folded his arms over his chest, glaring up. "Sakura-chan could so take on Tenten, geji mau." The blond looked over to Sasuke and Neji who were quite in the middle of their passionate battle, "Sasuke! Wouldn't Sakura-chan kick Tenten's ass?"

The young Uchiha growled violently upon getting struck in the shoulder. He glared at Naruto momentarily before jumping in the air, kicking out only to have Neji block it.

Naruto narrowed his eyes, "Right Sasuke!" He screamed.

"Kuso." Sasuke bit taking yet another hit. "Baka." He mumbled, finally activating his sharingan. He dodged a hit then made a quick upper cut and caught his opponent right in the chest, pushing him back several feet.

Using his hands as a microphone, Naruto yelled, "Sasuke!"

Neji cast a glance to the boy but looked back to Sasuke. The Uchiha nodded and deactivated his sharingan. It was obvious they were going to be continuously interrupted now that everyone had stopped fighting. Sasuke folded his arms with an aggravated sigh, glaring at the blond. Oblivious as always to Sasuke's temper, Naruto asked his question again but Neji was the one to respond. "I do not agree." He simply stated.

"Sakura-chan may not look it but she hits pretty hard." Naruto rubbed his cheek from where several hits had been given to him in the past.

Lee went to stand beside Neji, "Tenten is a very skilled kunoichi." Neji nodded once in agreement.

"So is Sakura-chan!" Naruto stood, quickly coming to her defense. He looked to Sasuke who had his arms folded, staring at him, "Tell them, Sasuke."

"I have no idea how hard she hits." Several of the boys laughed and Sasuke smirked as Naruto sent him a death glare.

Shikamaru glanced wearily over to his partner, he yawned momentarily. "Mendokuse, Choji. Do you think we should get ourselves involved for Ino?"

Between bites, Choji shouted, "Ino's smarter!" All boys looked to him with bewilderment reflecting their wide eyes.

Shikamaru slapped his forehead, shaking it, "You can't lie, Choji."

He shrugged and then shouted, "Ino's prettier!" He looked to his best friend, "Is that right, Shikamaru?"

"Whoa!" Naruto barged over to the two sitting on the field, "She is so not! Sakura-chan is way prettier! Tell him, Sasuke!" Said ninja was currently putting his shirt back on.

"I will not get involved."

"Sakura-chan is sure going to be mad when I tell her you didn't back her up. She's our teammate, who's going to stick up for her if we don't!" Sasuke shrugged. "Sakura-chan is prettier then every single one of them." He stomped his foot to prove his point.

"Oi, Hinata is…" Kiba looked down to Akamaru who barked with a pant. "Beautiful?" He questioned and received another bark before looking back up. "Hai, that."

"So is Tenten!" Lee quickly stepped in.

"Whatever, you guys are insane." Naruto rolled his eyes. "At least me and Sasuke know the truth. Come on Sasuke, let's go meet up with Sakura-chan."

Kiba shouted quickly stalling the boys in their tracks. "I bet Hinata could beat each one of them, in everything." He vaguely heard Shikamaru groan 'baka' but ignored it.

Naruto quickly ran up to him, "You're on!" But Naruto's brows creased "Wait, how is that gonna work? We can't have a contest."

"It is possible." Shikamaru stated, rolling his eyes in annoyance of his own voice.

"Oh yeah? How? If the girls find out what we're talking about, they'd kill us."

"It's simple. We will trick them." All the boys widened their eyes.

"Trick?" Neji questioned.

Shikamaru nodded with a lopsided smile, "Hai. We will pretend to have a mission, with just us. And on the way to this mission, we will have already set up many challenges for them to compete in."

"They will figure something out, if they notice we are not participating." Lee stated and everyone nodded.

Shikamaru had already come up with that solution. "We will pretend to be involved."

"Iie." Neji stated, turning his back to grab his shirt. "I will not betray my teammate."

"It is not betraying, Neji." Lee hastened to stop the boy.

Kiba smirked, "Backing down now, you probably know Tenten can't win." He grimaced when he received a sudden dark glare from the man's pale lavender eyes, Akamaru quickly climbed up his jacket to hide.

Neji turned his back on the group once more, Lee beside him, wondering what the guy will do. "Set it up. We will be there." Lee jumped in the air happily and limbed quickly after Neji who was already down the hill.

"Me?" Shikamaru groaned, "How did I get involved? Mendokuse."

Naruto watched the genius and his chubby friend leave the grounds, closely following a grinning Kiba. His blue eyes went over to Sasuke who was looking at him. He placed a hand on the back of his head, grinning widely, "This is gonna turn out bad for me, isn't it?"

"Aho. No wonder you get hit so much. Sakura is not stupid. She will figure it out." He stuffed his hands in his pockets going down the hill. Naruto falling behind him in troubled thought.

Sakura pinned up the tall piece of wood while her father nailed it to the others. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed out. "Sakura-chan!" She turned her wide green eyes to see the two boys coming toward her.

She waved energetically, "Naruto! Sasuke-kun!" She slightly bit her lip as her inner self screamed in her head, 'They know you were spying! They've come to tell you they hate you and think you're an immature girl with dirty thoughts! Sasuke's going to hate you forever!' Sakura smiled wide nonetheless as she walked toward them.

"Sakura-chan, we have a mission."

"Doing what?"

Sasuke leaned against the wall, folding his arms across his chest, "We have to pick up something from Mizu no Kuni."

"Nani?"

Naruto frowned, "Umm…"

"The scroll." Sasuke pushed, trying to keep Naruto from blowing it.

"Oh, yeah, a scroll from this guy. I don't know the details, Shikamaru is leading us." Naruto glared at Sasuke who just barely whispered 'Aho' for almost ruining their cover.

"Shikamaru? Don't we need a sensei? Who else is going?"

"Minna. Come on, we got to meet up with them. We'll give you the details on the way."

"Well, wait, how long are we going to be gone for?"

"We should be back tomorrow."

She narrowed her brows suspiciously but smiled nonetheless. "Let me get my stuff."

Sakura quickly ran inside not catching the hit to the back of Naruto's head by Sasuke. "Do you have no memory?"

"I have a better memory then you!"

"Apparently not, dobe. He just told us everything. Now she doesn't believe us."

"She believes us just fine. Don't worry so much, teme."

"I do not care. You got us into this."

"So you're just saving your own ass?" Sasuke nodded. "Good, keep it up. She believes you way more then she'll believes me. Remember, teme, couldn't have done it without you." Naruto quickly dashed away from the fist that swung for his head and hid behind the wide eyed Sakura. "Sasuke's being mean to me, Sakura-chan." He pouted childishly.

"That probably means you did something stupid." She slammed her fist down upon his head. Sakura smiled brightly over to her other teammate, "I got him for you, Sasuke-kun." She squealed joyously, walking around the fallen boy.

Sasuke smirked, walking behind her and grabbing Naruto's hand that was sticking out of the ground. He dragged the distorted, unconscious body behind him.

"Kami, I can't wait for my beautiful hair to grow back." Ino whined despairingly sitting between her two teammates. Eight of them where here, all that was left was Sakura's team.

Shikamaru stared at her with an annoyed expression. An expression she was way entirely used to. "You were the one that got mad and cut it off." He reminded her. "Sakura did it to save her team."

Ino grit her teeth violently, her body shaking with the pent up rage that was about to hit it's boiling point, "Hey, Ino!" Sakura's voice sounded, interrupting her. She shot a glare down at him but his eyes were closed.

"Sakura!" She waved energetically, then punching the blind Shikamaru as she past by him.

He had not been ready for it and apparently nearly had Choji for when the large ninja opened his eyes, he leaned over the edge of the bench, "How did you get down there, Shikamaru?"

"Mendokuse." He mumbled and with the help from his best friend, stood. He folded his arms over his chest, glaring at Ino who only smiled sarcastically. "Since minna is here, let's go. We are to retrieve a scroll from Mizu no Kuni."

"Why will it take all of us?" Tenten questioned from her position on the tree branch, sitting next to Neji.

Kiba answered, "Kurenai-sensei said we were causing too much trouble." It was a lie on his part, and his eyes were refusing to meet the questioning gaze of Hinata.

"She's letting you go on missions without Shino?" Ino questioned but the animal trainer only shrugged, looking away.

"This scroll contains information about some sort of medicine that Tsunade-sama wants, to help fix Lee. That is why it is important to protect it. All our senseis are out on missions so she wanted us to get it for her."

Sakura wasn't liking this. It didn't sound like a real mission. Plus, Hokage Tsunade usually brought them into her room to tell them about a mission. But as she looked around, and then back to Naruto she shrugged. Inner Sakura spoke 'Naruto couldn't get minna involved in a joke. This was a real mission. Stop questioning everything!' "Whatever, lets just get going."

"All right!" Naruto jumped in the air and quickly began running full speed.

Kiba hung back with Sasuke, "What is he doing?" but the Uchiha only shook his head. "Naruto, you have to wait for us!"

After getting fifty yards, the blond hurried back, "Gomen." And together, the twelve walked in form of four rows, each within their team.

Ino was smiling evilly as she reached out her foot to catch Sakura's. The said female glanced back with a dangerous glare but tried to ignore it. Sasuke was walking next to her, there was no reason to lose her cool.

Ino covered her mouth as she timed it out in her head and gasped happily when finally she caught the other's foot. Her eyes widened with her laughter that was boiling inside of her as the young female fell promptly over, right on her face.

Sakura, spit out dirt as she lifted her form from the ground, trying not to draw too much attention to herself. But the moment she heard Ino's giggling voice, she suddenly didn't care, "Ama!" She screamed running after the scared female.

"It starts already. I hate those two." Tenten groaned, she quickly set pace after them, to punch each of their lights out.

Hinata's brows knit. She had to go warn Sakura. "Sakura-chan." She whimpered following behind.

The seven boys remaining huddled close together as Shikamaru got out his checklist. "Not how I wanted it to go but it will work. Leave it to Ino. I guess we will call this subject, Most stamina: ten points."

"How is this really going to work, Shikamaru?" Naruto asked, quite concerned as he watched Ino run across their path. Soon Sakura followed. And then TenTen. And then Hinata. And just for good measure, Akamaru was yapping happily as he chased after them.

Shikamaru yawned heavily. "I made it to where there are two different categories and ten different subjects. All points add to a hundred. The girl to get closest wins." The boys began to walk the dirt road, having lost the girls a few minutes back. Naruto was silently chanting Sakura's name in his hand. Every few minutes he got too excited but Sasuke was more then willing to hit him, keeping him in check.

It was nearly fifteen minutes into the chase that Tenten decided to give up, and filed back in line. Hinata, who had only been running was to keep Sakura safe, stopped also. Kiba mumbled something under his breath and Hinata whispered, "What's unfair, Kiba-kun?"

"Umm…Okasan was going to make beef stew tonight. It's my favorite." However Akamaru's whine contradicted his remark and was even more confused when he received a slight glare from his owner.

Another twenty minutes went by as everyone continued their walking pace and the conversations were kept to a low, none really having anything to say to the other. But whatever was actually going on in their heads, stopped short as Ino was dragging her sluggish body up to the group, seeking help from behind Choji as she tried vehemently to catch her breath. Sakura found her easily, her hands fisted at her side, "Apologize, Inoshishi." She growled and Choji, being the pacifist he was, side stepped out of Sakura's ways, leaving Ino the brunt of her fist.

The group stepped aside and watched with amusement while Ino and Sakura had an all out brawl in front of them. Curse words and dirt was flung in the air, which only seemed to annoy TenTen. She turned her eyes to Sakura's male counterparts, Naruto was rooting her on, Sasuke leaned up against a tree, carelessly. She covered her eyes in embarrassment, shaking her head, knowing she had to go break it up.

Shikamaru looked to Kiba who nodded. The beast man whispered quickly in Akamaru's ear and with a quick bark, he began sprinting. "Akamaru come back, I didn't mean it!" But his beige butt disappeared shortly from sight. He kicked the ground sadly, sticking his hands in his pockets.

Tenten sighed heavily, looking over to Lee and Neji for some help but they just stared at her, not having a clue as to what she wanted.

After a good ten minutes, Naruto was tired of screaming for Sakura. He rubbed the back of his head. "Sakura-chan, can we go?" The pink haired kunoichi stopped with her punches and looked up, finding all eyes were on her. Especially Sasuke's. She pushed the dizzy Ino away from her, dusting her knees and then her hands, smiling wide.

"What are we all waiting for?" She questioned going on ahead.

Shikamaru picked up the unconscious Ino from the ground, putting on arm over his shoulder while Choji grasped the other, "How embarrassing." He mumbled as Ino's head fell on his shoulder.
