Not this time, but some others make it there before him.

After a few minutes, Hinata tapped Naruto on the shoulder. "Umm, Master, can I use my last wish today to let me have the same special vision I gave you?" She asked, pressing her hands together in a prayer gesture. Naruto nodded, and Hinata squeed slightly as she snapped her fingers, Sakura looking on her approvingly. "Thank you Master!" She gave thanks, before noticing something. "Someone's coming, Master." She whispered, her Byakugan on as she spied two people approaching. Sakura and Naruto both came to attention, and saw that... Neither of them were Kakashi. "Hello, Lady Tsunade." Sakura said as the Hokage and Shizune came into view, Naruto waving to them.

"Hello, Sakura, Naruto... and Hinata?" Tsunade was briefly taken aback by the presence of the third girl, Shizune equally surprised. "I know Team 8 is between missions right now, but I didn't expect to see you here." Hinata nodded as she blushed a bit and moved closer to Naruto, leaning against him. "I see you finally confessed. Good on you, Hinata." Tsunade nodded approvingly towards her, before Naruto decided to interject. "Actually, Sakura helped me become aware of the... crush she's had on me for years." He clarified, scratching his cheek awkwardly.

Tsunade suddenly stopped talking, looking between the three of them. When Sakura and Hinata nodded in confirmation, she looked a bit crestfallen. Sighing, she turned to look at Shizune. "Looks like you win the bet." Her assistant nodded with a satisfied smile. "Thank you, Lady Tsunade. I look forward to you actually looking over the paperwork in detail yourself tomorrow."

As Naruto groaned in frustration at seemingly everyone knowing about Hinata's crush on him before he did, another couple of individuals joined the group. "Hey there. Sorry I'm late, I had to help this little old lady find her way home." Kakashi said as he walked towards them with a wave, his other hand still holding the new book of Ninjas of Love that Naruto had gifted him. Behind him was Jiraya, rolling his eyes at the comment.

Naruto gave a cough that sounded like 'bullshit', causing the two girls next to him to chuckle. "...Right. Time to get to work. Kakashi." Tsunade interjected, turning to Kakashi as he closed his book. "Well, it has been a while, hasn't it?" He started, Sakura and Naruto immediately perking up at his words. His tone had gotten pretty serious. "From now on, the two of you will come with me on team related missions. It's different than how it was when we started, however. It won't be a teacher-pupil relationship anymore. Starting today, we are equal Hidden Leaf Shinobi." Kakashi then pulled out a familiar pair of bells. "Also, I'm curious to see how much you two have improved."

The group ended up moving to Practice Area Three, Hinata having moved off to the side with Tsunade, Jiraya and Shizune to observe. "The rules are the same as before. Try to get the bells from me anyway you can. You have until sunrise tomorrow." Kakashi finished his explanation as Sakura and Naruto looked around, feeling nostalgic as they spotted three posts arranged in a line. "I really missed this place..." Naruto let out a sigh as he looked around, Sakura humming in agreement. "Ah, that's right. This is where you first trained, isn't it?" Kakashi realized.

"Team Seven..." Sakura murmured in reminiscence. "The three-man team..." Naruto followed up. "Back then... Sasuke was with us then, wasn't he..." Kakashi continued, before looking up in surprise. Naruto had collapsed to his hands and knees, smacking the ground with his fist. Sakura was looking pretty down herself, gripping her opposite shoulder with her hand. If she hadn't become Naruto's sex genie, she'd probably be near sobbing with him, curled up in a ball on the ground. But even with her new attachment to her Master, she still felt bad about Sasuke's desertion to Orochimaru.

'Sasuke's is going to be a taboo word for them, huh?' Kakashi thought to himself as he closed Ninjas of Love, the sound of it drawing Sakura and Naruto's attention back to him. "Well then, shall we begin?"

"Putting away your book this time?" Naruto asked with an eager grin on his face. "Don't tell me you already finished it?" Sakura followed up as she tugged on her black gloves.

"No, I think I'd rather save the enjoyment for later," Kakashi replies, putting the book in his equipment bag. "Besides... this time, for some reason, I feel like I should take things seriously too." He put his hand over his mask, raising the eyepatch to reveal his Sharingan. If he was bringing out his trump card from the get-go, this was going to be a real test.

The three of them stared at each other in silence. Then a slight movement caused the bells to jingle, and Naruto immediately sprang into action! Kakashi ducked under the five shuriken thrown at him, returning with a volley of three. As Naruto jumped over them, Kakashi threw three more at him now that he had a ballistic trajectory in the air. The orange ninja quickly created a shadow clone, having it move him out of the way. Kakashi smiled beneath his mask. Naruto really had matured. "All right... Start!" He announced before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Hinata was watching intently from the sidelines. She would have been supportive of Naruto regardless of being his Sex Genie or not, but she now also felt a desire to support Sakura as well. Not that she looked like she needed it, as after a moment of looking around, the pink-haired kunoichi punched the ground, causing it to erupt from the impact to the intense surprise of Hinata, Naruto, and a now unearthed Kakashi. Nearby, she could hear Jiraya mutter, "That beauty and monstrous strength, you've raised a fine second Tsunade, haven't you..." As she heard that, she turned to look at the Hokage and her assistant, who were also watching with interest. Thinking back to her last wish, she wondered about the two of them. They were definitely hot (Tsunade especially), and she was curious if either of them wanted to be a Sex Genie like her...
