10 Same but not the same.

The next morning

So after last night event, the three of us didn't get to sleep. Not we didn't want to sleep it was that we can't sleep. For me it was the indescribable of feeling something is wrong with myself. For Naruto it's seems like his ninja way is a bit shaken. Sakura I think it was what normally happen to genin first kill.

"You three brat are sick just from killing a few people, you're still a brat after all." Zabuza said from the corner of the room. We all already use by zabuza buzzing his voice around talking bad about us. So we just ignore him.

"So kakashi-sensei after this what should we do?" I ask him. He was reading his icha-icha. He look up at me "We will still alternate guarding Tazuna." he get back to reading. "What about these two?" Naruto ask. "We will release them when the bridge finished" he said without looking up. "So Tazuna-san when will the bridge be done?" I ask Tazuna on the side. "Hmm, with our pace it will take another 4-5 Days." Tazuna thought for a moment before answering.

*4 days later

The bridge done. No more thug has came since we have taken Gato out. Everyone is happy. And time to say our goodbye to everyone.

I was wrong about Kakashi. He is not doing the lecture four days ago to use it as his amusement. It was a way to distract us from the blood and dead from killing. Unfortunately it's not effective. Three of us recovered and return being ourself 2 days ago.

As we say good bye, Naruto hug Inari with tear on both their eye. 'when did they get so close.' "Inari you must protect your family, be strong and be the hero you want to be" Naruto say. "Yes, Naruto-niisan. I will be the hero for my family." Inari said. Then he turn to me. "Thank you Sasuke-niisan." inari said and bowed to me. I just nodded not knowing what I was thanked for.

Kakashi release the two captive and give them a scroll. 'if my deduction is right those scroll contain money Kakashi secretly stea-i mean liberate from Gato treasury.' Haku and Naruto was getting chummy. 'why don't I know when is Naruto use his talk no jutsu to everyone' Sakura beside me doesn't seem bothered. Is this because I'm unknownly outcast in the team.

"What should we call the bridge?" Tazuna wondering out loud. "How about bridge of Hope. Like you say it's represent everyone hope." I said. "Yes, that's a good name. even thought I want to name it Tazuna great bridge, Hahaha." Tazuna said laughing. ""The bridge of Hope"" everyone say while seeing the gigantic bridge.

We return to Konoha with ninja pace and arrive 2 days later. "Now you three have a week of free time, there are no training and missions for a week. I will report everything to the Hokage. You are dismissed." Kakashi said. "Yosha Ichiraku ramen here I come." Naruto dash away to Ichiraku ramen. "You want to came with us Sakura?" I ask her. "Yes!!" Sakura scree I thought I would lose my ear for a second.

*Kakashi Pov

I dismissed my little cute genin. I walk to the Hokage tower. 'Ugh, this mission is the most stressful I have in the last three year. Not only Zabuza and Haku. I try to calm my emotional student on their first kill And it's not working.' "ugh." I had headache, so I take icha-icha out and read it while going to the Hokage office.

I walk and arrive at the tower. "Is hokage alone in his office?" I ask the desk lady. "Yes, hokage-sama is alone." she say. Finding out the hokage alone I walk to his office and knock the door.

*Knock

*Knock

"Come in"

"Hokage-sama"

"Report Kakashi"

"Hai, Hokage-sama. The mission we get turn from C- Rank escort to B- Rank escort because the involvement of enemy Ninja that Gato company hire. The enemy Ninja is from the rebellion faction of the mist. Looking at the rebellion situation I came to conclusion that they can win their civil war and overthrow the current mizukage. So I take initiative and make unspoken agreement with the enemy. Because they was hired by Gato, we kill Gato and give portion of the money to the mist ninja. That's why this mission turn to B-Rank assassination. I use this opportunity to give my genin a look at the crueler side of being ninja."

"Kakashi, we are in time of peace, you shouldn't have make your genin do that. Let them enjoy their innocent a bit longer. And for the mist ninja, it's good they owe Konoha. I hope their unhealthy vision of bloodline limit will soon change. The mission, I will put B-Rank in their rapport. So what make you who usually stay in missions parameters let this happen Kakashi?"

"It's because I see my students already has the overall strength, mind and teamwork of a chunin team. What they lack is experiencing the outside and using their knowledge on the field. So I think this is a good opportunity to get them experience to go again other chunin. I will look bad and lose pride when all three of them agreed to help the wave but I don't. hehehe."

"So your last sentence is the real reason. Okay then Kakashi. Why you say they had chunin quality?"

"First Sasuke, he has a high level taijutsu and kenjutsu he can go hold for a long time again zabuza clone. He is good at reading situation. He was secretly training his chakra nature. I faintly see him using some kind of lighting coat on his palm. He was beyond chunin if he doesn't lack the experience."

"Go on" hokage nodded.

"Naruto is different, He was honing his hiding and traping ability. Unless a sensor looking for him it will be hard to find him. The most shocking about him is his accomplishment of sealing. He make and explosion seal to blow a warehouse. The fire is not just burning but sucking air of the surrounding to get bigger, as if it was living and hungry for air. Naruto chakra control is his weakness, but it coming together. His other ninja basic is solid. But his intellectual seem bit screwed."

"Hmm, Naruto really come a long way. His prank has become his strong point. Did you teach him sealing Kakashi?"

"No, as I know Naruto is self studying seal and getting scroll of the basic, intermediate, and advance from Sasuke."

"Ohh, please supervise Naruto making seal, Kakashi. Sasuke giving Naruto scroll, hmm. Good, friend should help each other. and the last one"

"Sakura is the most average. I trained her the most as she need to catch up with the other two. She desire to be a medic. She really is a good addition to the team and as a vocal point for the other two in the team."

"Hmm, everything is coming together. This is feel like the past. But not the past at the same time. I hope it not end like in the past." Hokage reminiscing his past with his student.

"I will try to not let them going astray" I say while thinking about my self when I'm sensei student.
