"Dobe, how'd you pull off that explosion in the first place?"
"Exploding tags Teme, give it a try sometime." Now really upset but determined to make up for it eventually, Naruto wasn't in the mood for Sasuke's 'I'm better than you' attitude.
"You don't have to be rude to Sasuke-kun just cause you got chewed out, baka."
Throwing his hands up in the air as his clones came back and dumped the paralyzed body of the other demon brother at his feet. Bound and gagged, the clones all saluted before dispersing themselves.
There the three genin of team 7 sat and waited, Sakura trying to stroke Sasuke's ego by saying how he would have taken both enemy ninja down without nearly killing them in the process, while Sasuke himself was looking at Naruto in a new light.
Sure he had thought his training wouldn't bridge the gap between them at all, but now he could see that at least within him was a competent teammate. Not like a certain fangirl. Maybe he should start working on those chakra exercises as well.
Walking back to the group with a pale Tazuna, Kakashi was all smiles, "Okay troops, here's the deal. Tazuna apparently has lied about why he needed as escort and now we have a decision to make. Wave is currently under the heel of a greedy shipping magnate by the name of Gato, and Tazuna is building a bridge in order to get past his shipping embargo. In order to stop the bridge being built Gato has apparently hired mercenaries to kill Tazuna and prevent the bridge from being built. If these two, the Demon brothers, are involved that means this is at least an B-rank mission. So we can turn back right now, or we can continue on at our own risk.
Not even hesitating Naruto threw up a fist, "And miss the chance to kick some major ninja butt and save people? No way, I'm in!"
Nodding Sasuke agreed with Naruto, "We're ninja of the leaf, we don't get to abandon a mission once it's been given."
Sakura being of a different mind but not wanting to go against Sasuke nodded, "Yeah, there's no way any ninja are a match for us!"
Nodding with some pride Kakashi turned to Tazuna, "Welp, you heard them, we'll continue on with this mission. However, I will be making a report, and when this is over, there will be an adjustment."
"If the bridge is completed, we should be able to pay it no problem." While happy the ninja wouldn't abandon him, he wasn't sure how they would repay them when all this was over.
Kakashi took note finally of Meizu's bound and gagged form, grinning at the young Uzumaki.
"Good job on the capture Naruto. Give me a moment to prepare a scroll and send up a flare."
They were still close to the village, an Anbu squad should be able to perform a quick pick up. Which, after penning a quick scroll to describe Naruto's defeat and capture of the enemy ninja along with the situation they found themselves in and their intention to continue, Kakashi sent up an emergency flare that he pulled from a pocket in his jonin vest. Once that was done he performed some quick hand seals and thrust his hand at the ground,
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" From a poof of smoke a small dog was sitting and waiting patiently for the masked ninja to give it orders. Tucking the scroll into the pug's collar, Kakashi nodded, "Anbu should be here soon, watch over this guy and give them the scroll when they get here." Moving the ninja off into the bushes and out of sight, Kakashi's summon nodded,
"Gotcha, wait and play babysitter."
Chuckling and turning to his team, Kakashi motioned for them to continue finally, "Welp, let's get going team. We have a lot of ground to cover."
"Hey hey, Kakashi sensei, can you teach us that?" Naruto was as always quick to try to learn something new.
"Maybe one day, but you have a long way to go before trying to summon anything." Sure Naruto had the chakra for it, but considering his parentage, he wasn't going to step on those toes. Just in case someone else had a plan already.
"Aw fine."
"Also, Naruto, from here on, can you create clones to follow us in the tree line? I'd rather have some warning just in case." Give the boy some practice in using the clones in different ways.
Which, considering the light shining in his eyes, Naruto hadn't even thought to use the clones as a kind of early warning system before. "Sure thing sensei!" Making his seal and disappearing in a fog bank worth of smoke, 3 dozen clones sat in the road. Without a word, all but one leapt into the trees.
Looking at the Naruto who was with them, Sasuke voiced a question, "How will we know you're the real one? Couldn't someone kill a clone and transform into you?"
Nodding Naruto figured that was true, "Well sure, but you're my team, so ask me an easy question only I would know, like what's the best flavor of ramen?"
"Uh, Naruto, you like all ramen." It was Sakura who spoke up, Sasuke not getting it right away.
"Exactly, all ramen is my favorite."
Seeing the kids begin to actually make plans and feed off one another, Kakashi decided not to chime in just yet. It had taken a little bit, but it seemed they were starting to take things a little more seriously as a team. Even Sakura was starting to use her head a bit, even if it took some coaxing.
