Recap: Sasuke got mad because everyone who knew Fuu told her that she could beat him in a fight. Therefore- he challenged her to a fight. Kakashi and Yagura agreed that if Fuu won then Kakashi would have to tell the Teru squad what happened To get team seven plus Iruka in such a bedraggled state.

Sasuke and Fuu stopped walking as they got to the small clearing in front of Tsunami's house, right on the other side of the small pond with a bridge that led up to the house. The ones that followed them stopped about 10 yards away from them. Gaara's eyes widened a little before he tapped on Naruto's shoulder and whispered to him. When he finished, Naruto's eyes went wide as well. Gaara returned to his original position and Naruto ran up to Fuu in a panic. He quickly whispered to her and when he was finished, Fuu glanced at Naruto, whose eyes were begging, and sighed. "Fine," she complied to whatever Naruto had requested. Naruto smiled widely and gave her a quick hug before retreating back to Gaara's side.

Yagura stepped in between them and told them "You get ten minutes to fight since we don't have much time to waste. If one of you subdues the other in that time then that person wins. As always, you have ten seconds to get out of whatever hold your opponent has you subdued in. If neither of you are subdued then whoever received the most attacks will lose. We will be taking the power and the affect of the attack into account of course." Yagura stepped back and raised his hand straight up. "Alright, ready?" both fighters nodded. "Begin!" Yagura shouted, throwing down his hand to signal the start of the fight.

Fuu and Sasuke stared at each other, watching to see who if the other would make the first move. Sasuke, impatient and still a bit annoyed at the comments about how a little girl two years younger than him could beat him, watched Fuu for a few seconds before running forward to attack. He punched aiming for Fuu's face, Fuu leaned back to avoid the hit and used the momentum to flip back, kicking Sasuke in the chin twice as she flipped. She landed about a foot away from him and quickly rushed him while he was off balance, flipping him over her shoulder and changing his position in mid air so that he landed on his stomach. Fuu grabbed his arms and held them together behind his back, tying them together with a length of silk from her arm.

She glanced up at Yagura as he slowly counted to ten giving Sasuke time to try and escape. Sasuke struggled with his silk bindings, but was unable to escape. Fuu was declared the winner only one minute after the fight began.

Naruto cheered loudly for Fuu while Garra just stood silently and looked on, a small smile of pride just barely lifting his lips. Kakashi and Iruka stared in shock, wide eyed while Sakura shrilly complained that "No one should be able to beat Sasuke". Sasuke continued to struggled with his binds and Fuu jumped up and down, excited about winning a fight for the first time in her life. Yagura gave her a proud pat on the head and told her to untie Sasuke.

After she untied him, Sasuke gave her a venomous glare and stormed off into the woods to brood. As everyone watched him go, Yagura turned to Kakashi and stared. Kakashi sighed and glanced away, scratching his head awkwardly. He sighed and led the way back to the house. Everyone sat down in the living room and team Teru stared at Kakashi, waiting for him to explain.

"We need to get everything out of the way, so I'll just give you a brief summary of what happened on the way here," Kakashi said, glancing around. Seeing that everyone else in the room were just staring at him impatiently, he sweat dropped and began. "We were on our way here when we were attacked by two chunin level ninja. I pretended to fall so that I could see what their intentions were. Iruka and Sasuke dispatched the ninja and I concluded that they were after Tazuna. It turns out that he lied about the rank of the mission. Though this mission was a higher rank than what we were prepared for, we were *ahem* convinced to continue on with it. When we had gotten close, we were attacked by one of the seven swordsman, Zabuza. We fought and while I kept him occupied, Iruka got them out of there and told them to go ahead, putting Sasuke in charge. He then came back for me and broke me out of the water prison that Zabuza had caught me in with the intention of sending a water clone after Tazuna. After Iruka got me out, we took an indirect route to here, obscuring our tracks and covering the ones Sasuke, Sakura, and Tazuna made. you were there when we finally got here, so I suppose you know how that turned out. So who are you guys really? Why are you guys here? Based on that fight earlier I assume that all of you are pretty good fighters."

Yagura regarded him cooly. "I have no reason to tell you who we are, but as I have told you before, Tsunami has requested our aid and we are inclined to give it. We will be working together, but I don't intend to get overly friendly with your group. The children can do as they please, but I will intervene if I deem it necessary. We will do our best to cooperate with you until the end of this mission at which point we will part ways and hopefully not cross paths once more."

The room sat in stunned silence. Iruka silently wondered what could have happened in the past for Yagura to be regarding his group with open distrust in his eyes. Naruto, Garra, and Fuu glanced at each other and shrugged. They silently agreed to distract them and simultaneously jumped up, Naruto and Fuu complaining loudly about the atmosphere and dragging Yagura up off the couch and yelling about playing together and demanding that Yagura summon a large tortoise that they could ride on. Yagura though initially startled, simply smiled fondly at them and went along with them to the clearing and complied to their demands. Gaara followed them out, shrugging at Naruto's game suggestion.

A few minutes later the three children could be found hanging on to the shell on a rapidly spinning tortoise as Naruto and Fuu shrieked in delight and Gaara began regretting going along with Naruto's suggestion. With their bodies up in mid air as the tortoise spun, Iruka watched them with no small amount of concern. He freaked out as they all simultaneously let go of the tortoise's shell. There was nothing he could do however, as they rapidly flew through the air. As he closed his eyes, flinching, he missed what happened next. Gaara caught himself with his sand and Yagura jumped into the air, his staff with a hook on each end extended out . Naruto and Fuu casually righted themselves in mid air, allowing the collars of their clothes to be caught on the hooks, grabbing the front of their shirts so that their collars wouldn't choke them. Team Seven watched in astonishment as they all landed on safely back on the ground, Naruto and Fuu yelling "Again! Again!" before Yagura bopped them on the heads and scolded them for letting go and allowed the tortoise to dissappear with a poof. Fuu pouted but Naruto grinned, dragging her and Yagura along with him over to where Gaara was and rapidly went through hand signs, biting his thumb and summoning a fox large enough for all four of them to ride on. As it carted them around the field, the Konoha team watched them in shock, wondering just where Tsunami found these people.

That night, it was decided that they would guard the bridge in shifts with the Teru and Konoha teams switching off each day.
