Kakashi pov
I lead Raiden away from my team far enough where I know they can't hear us. But close enough I can keep my eyes on them, "So want to tell me where you where really going?"

I asked her calmly, "How do you know I wasn't just scouting the area?" Raiden says stubbornly, "Because I helped train you for 2 years." I say bluntly, a smile appears on her face as she tilts her head.

"Man I could never pull a fast one on you Kakashi-sensei. I was going to tell you anyway because your going to play a key roll. I tracked down Zabuza and that fake hunter nin and struck a deal." My eye widens in shock, "You did what?"

She scratches the back of her head, "I know I know it was a stupid mood and I shouldn't have went without telling you. But I had to trust my gut like my Touchan always told me to." I pinch the bridge of my nose, "And what's this deal you made with them?"

"Okay so the plan that I came up with requires both Zabuza and his student to create blood clones. Just as well though it will take the whole week for both of you to recover. When that happens there clones will fight us on the bridge. Of course they won't be going all out but they will need to cause us some damage to make it look real. And when the time is right I'm betting Gato and his goons will show up when they think we're all weak. And try to kill us all to save him both time and money." I nod slowly thinking about it all, "Its a good plan but I'd imagine Zabuza isn't going to do this for free."

Raiden smiles sheepishly, "We split Gato's money with them 50/50 that way the town has some means to rebuild itself...."

I sigh but smile under my mask and place my hand on her head ruffling her hair. She pushes my hand away, "I'd got to admit I am upset with you for not telling me what you where planning to do first. But you're hearts in the right place and you managed to turn this mission in our favor. Although to make sure Gato doesn't find out this plan of yours. It will be best for us to keep this to ourselves."

Raiden nods, "Got it Kakashi-sensei."

"Good now that we got that cleared up its time for you to get some training done too." She groans, "Oh come on Kakashi-sensei I already know how to tree walk." I smirk slightly, "Oh you won't be tree walking, I believe its time I teach you a jutsu of my own creation."

A huge smile appears on her face, "Really?! What's it called?!" She ask excitement evident in her voice, "Yes really and this jutsu is called Chidori."

Sakura pov
After listening to the story of Inari's Tousan and Naruto's declaration to make him believe in hero's again. I glance at the empty spot next to me sorry growing, "Kakashi-sensei shouldn't Raiden be back by now?"

He glance up from his book, "Don't worry Sakura, Raiden is just training she'll be fine. She's a shinobi and a talented one at that."

I clench a fist full of my dress, "Sakura if you'd like I could pack a small bento and you can take it to her. Shinobi or not Raiden shouldn't be training so hard on an empty stomach." Miss Tsunami says standing up, "I'll help." I say getting up as well following her to the kitchen.

Once we get it packed I head back towards the forest where we where training earlier. I see Naruto running up the same tree again a determine expression on his face. Deciding to let him focus I head deeper into the forest.

"Chidori!"

The ground shakes slightly as I jog up to a small clearing. The dust cloud surrounding it finally settles. Sitting by a smashed boulder was a panting Raiden. She was laying on her back, "Hey Sakura.."

She wheezes out not moving yet as I walk closer. I set the bento box down next to her as I see her left hand with slight burnt marks. I frown gently grabbing her hand, "Baka you burnt your hand." I pull out some burn cream from my pouch and begin to apply it gently. Raiden sits up wincing every once in awhile, "Well this feels like deja vu."

I look at her to find Raiden already smiling at me. I could feel my cheeks heating up, "Hold still I have to wrap bandages around your hand now."

As I work there was nothing but silence between the both of us. I smile once Im satisfied with how the bandages where, "There all done." Raiden hums looking up at the sky, "You know I sometimes miss not being able to see things like the night sky, the moon, the stars." My heart aches slightly, "But then again I'm able to sense other things better like chakra for one."

"I'm sorry being a shinobi must be hard." She turns her head in my direction smiling gently, "What's life without a little challenge? Now what you bring it smells great." I place the bento box in her lap and place the chop sticks in her uninjured hand.

She begins to eat happily and I chew the inside of my cheek. Should I even ask this or is it a sensitive subject?

I take a deep breath, "Raiden why did....why did everyone believe you where a boy when we where younger?"

She pauses mid bite of some rice before slowly placing it down. I knew I shouldn't have asked, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked!" I shout slightly in panic, "Its fine Sakura its natural to be curious about stuff like this."

Raiden takes a breath, "Well to put it simple I have a dick." She says bluntly taking a bite of her food as I process what she's said.

My eyes drift down for a second before my cheeks begin heating up, "Oh.."

"Yup that's why everyone thought I was a boy even the doctors. Until my body started to change a little lucky for me my boobs are like no existence." She jokes lightly, "When you found out...is they why you distanced yourself from me?"

Raiden stays silent for a moment, "I'll admit yes I didn't want you to see me as a freak. But now you know so judge me as you will I guess." I stay silent for a moment before moving closer to her and resting my head on her shoulder. She tenses up for a second before relaxing, "Your not a freak Raiden although you are a baka for trusting me enough. Next time you hold something like this back from me I won't be so forgiving."

I muster up the most threatening voice I could while trying to bite back a smile as Raiden chuckles.

"Alright Alright I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. It feels like a whole weights been lifted from my shoulders." I stand up first, "Come on you should get some rest you've been out here all day."

She stands up grabbing the bento box, "Alright only because a nap sounds really good right now."

I roll my eyes, "Sure it does, stop trying to sound cool."

"I don't try it comes natural for me."

"Be quiet before I hit you in the back of the head."

"Yes ma'am."
