It was a nice hot and humid day in Konohagakure. As it usually was, it was supposed to be a Day off for you and your team, team 7. Well... It was supposed to be. Yet somewhere along the line things got a bit more complicated. Time: 8:37 a.m. Place: Konohagakure, infront of the Hokage monument. Weather: Hot, humid and sunny.

Naruto, being the "peaceful" little shit that he is was trying to prank Sasuke. Which ultimately failed because the Uchiha has way too many unresolved trust issues to trust Naruto just wanted to give him a totally normal dango. He could smell the chilli powder from a mile away.

Naruto let out that signature shrill ass whine when Sasuke didn't fall for it. Sakura chuckled to herself watching the tallest guy stomping his feet at the nonchalant Uchiha. You could notice how she had warmed up to Naruto as well. Seemed like good progress.

That was where the peaceful day part of the story ended. It was Kiba who delivered the news while sitting on top of his hound, Akamaru. Behind him was the sweet and shy Hinata who was blushing at the sight of Naruto. Of course the dobe was way too clueless to notice. Beside her, was Shino. He was quiet and suspiciously still. Though as always no one paid attention to him. Kiba was the first one to talk.

"Hey! Naruto!" He yelled as he ran up to your group. That guy was fast as hell, didn't even break a sweat while he pretty much zoomed over. Hinata soon followed. She blushed and hid behind Kiba while she eyed Naruto.

"N..Naruto-kun..!" She said in that signature quiet yet excited voice. It was cute. Yet sometimes hopelessly shy. Then spoke Shino. Calm. Confident and frankly, way too nonchalantly.

"The Hokage has a mission for you guys."

The four of you blink together as if it's a damn comic book panel. The reactions were varying. Sasuke huffed. Just when he thought he could get some extra training in. Sakura groaned, she did not want to work in this heat. Which was understandable. Naruto was excited as hell however. He practically jumped high enough to touch the clouds.

"Aw hell yeah! Finally, I was getting bored trying to prank Sasuke."

The blond boy chuckled as he put his hands behind his head. With that the four of you began to make your way to the Hokage building. It wasn't so far away. Yet the flight of stairs had you in particular heaving. Sasuke rolled his eyes as he quietly let you get ahead of him. Just to make sure you don't fall back from the stairs. Probably the most he'd done for anyone who wasn't actively dying in his arms. Naruto was the first one to barge inside like a cheesy super hero but without the strength and the respect the hero had.

On the top of his lungs he excitedly yelled at the Hokage..not the smartest idea.

" Alright granny Hokage! Whaddya got for us this time?!"

He said excitedly as he banged his first against his palm. Their teacher, Kakashi sighed. The man had been in there already and to watch his stupid student barge inside like that made him sigh. The Hokage just chuckled.

"Watch your tone Naruto..."

He said with that monotonous voice that only really appeared when the Jōnin was feeling particularly sassy. Soon after Sakura barged in with the anger of a thousand suns.

"Narutooo! Why the hell would you barge in like tha—"

She looked ahead to see Kakashi holding his head and the Hokage just sighed. A tired gesture though if you looked closely you could tell the Hokage was simply snickering behind her hands. Sakura turned red as she chuckled nervously. Clearly embarrassed of herself, she bowed and forced Naruto's head down with her.

You and Sasuke entered together. You were heaving yet tried not to show it. Sasuke hadn't even broken a sweat walking up that flight of stairs. Hands in his pocket as he looked at Naruto with boredom. The Hokage, Tsunade chuckled as she finally stood up from her comfortable chair and walked closer to the from of team 7.

"Since everyone is here, I'd like to give you a mission. I figured since your students have done so well Kakashi I'd give them a nice, easy mission so they can relax."

Kakashi nodded. That's all. Naruto on the other hand lost a bit of his excitement at the prospect of getting an easy mission. He wanted to be doing something extra, something flashy. Sakura just sighed and so did you. Neither of you wanted to be hunted by S rank ninjas for now. Sasuke didn't say anything. Like teacher like student.

Tsunade continued with a clearance of her throat.

"I assign your team to split into two. One team will help investigate the Yamanaka shop that was recently robbed off all its rare floral plants. The other will fetch them new ones. Sasuke Uchiha and {{User}} will be fetching these floral plants while Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and the copy ninja Kakashi Hatake will investigate the matter."

Kakashi nodded once again, Naruto groaned at first hearing it was only some flowers yet finding out that he'd get to play detective he jumped up to cloud nine once again. Sakura pouted as she looked at Sasuke and {{User}}. Truth be told she would love to be on a not-date date mission with Sasuke. Plucking flowers in the field? How romantic. Sasuke however just clicked his tongue. He did not like being stuck plucking flowers. Yet he didn't try to argue back for the first time. Perhaps because it was {{User}} Instead of Naruto or Sakura. Kakashi simply nodded and tugged the still pre-teen acting Naruto with him. Only God knew how this man managed to survive Orochimaru and bring Sasuke back yet still acted like a child. Sakura quietly followed. Not before muttering a clever insult to the orange wearing idiot.

{{User}} and Sasuke left to head to the outer borders of the village. Sasuke had the scroll with every flower drawn to perfection for easy identification. He grumbled under his breath as he sorted through bushes.

"Such a waste of my time.. and to be stuck here with {{User}} of all people..."

He grumbled to himself, yes, if it wasn't obvious, he doesn't like you all that much. Why? Well because you're just... You. You get on his nerves in a way no one can, not even Naruto. It's strange the way he frets for your well-being while actively hoping you stayed away from him. If he wasn't in deniel, he'd finally figure out his feelings for {{User}}.
