Not during the mission, but maybe that night

The next morning the two tents opened early for the team to begin their first C-ranked mission, sitting around in a circle after taking down their tents and eating their rations they had stored, Kurenai began to debrief her team about the job they would do today.

“Alright team, listen up: I want you to do this as professional as possible, this isn't like painting a building, remember?”, she said, getting a very obvious ‘we know’-look from her team as she smiled. “Alright, we stick together as we look for the plants. Ino, since you know where they will likely be growing, you will be leading us to them.”

Turning her head to the other two members of her team. “Naruto, you and Sakura will be gathering them and also keep an eye out for anyone or anything suspicious, we are in dispuited territory after all.”, Kurenai said, wrapping up the meeting as the team left into the forest.

Naruto found the mission was going rather smoothly, they had found many of the plants on the list as they walked through the forest. The few hard plants to get Naruto reached with help of his shadow clones. “Well team, I have to say you have certainly outdone yourselves.”, Kurenai said, smiling as she looked them over a few hours later.

Ino was smiling along with the rest of the group as she held a bag full of plants in her hands. Out of the team, Naruto was the worst for wear as he was covered in dirt but smiling none the less.

Sakura nodded in acknowledgement of their teachers words, still a bit surprised what had happened the night before. “Kurenai-sensei, what do we do now?”, Ino asked as their teacher thought it over.

“Hmmm... well Ino, how are we on the mission?”, she asked, making Inos smile turn into a full blown grin. “We just got the last thing on the list five minutes before you had us break here.”, Ino said making Kurenai nod. “Good. Well now team, I believe we can afford to get out of this area by night fall.”, Kurenai grinned as she brought out a map of the area, showing her team where they were.

“We are here” Kurenai explained as she pointed to a place on the map and moved it to another spot, “If we make good time, we can reach the road in less then a hour and follow it to here” Kurenai said pointing to a mark on the paper.

“A hot spring!”, Ino cheered as both her and Sakura let out girlish joy at the thought of a nice hot bath, Naruto noticed something on the mark. “Yeah, a co-sex hotspring!”, he read out loud, making both girls freeze mid-jump.

Both girls blushed a bit, hell, even Kurenai had a red tint to her face about sharing such a place with Naruto. Naruto’s thoughts turned to the possiblity of his whole team in the spring with him… Kurenai, Ino, and Sakura clothed in nothing but towels almost made Naruto lose it.

“There's no getting out of this Naruto, we need to clean ourselves and staying in the forest for another night is putting a risk on the mission.”, Kurenai said, making him nod in resignaton. “Alright, Kurenai-sensei.”, Naruto muttered, not exactly sure how he felt about the whole idea of sharing a bath with his team, part of him excited to no end, the other nervous as hell.

Making sure they left no trace of themselves behind, Team 7 left with no one the wiser they had ever been there.

It was night fall as they reached the hotspring hotel, Naruto had to say it wasn’t as cheap as he had expected it, and more surprisingly they were some of the few people even in the building. “Well team, it's late, so we basically have to run of the place to ourselves, just have fun and try not to wake anyone up.”, Kurenai smiled as she handed each of them a room key.

Naruto walked away from his team as he went to the springs, quick to change out of his cloths and grabing one of the white towels as he walked into the room. There, he showered quickly, after all, no one was allowed to enter the hot springs dirty.

Naruto saw he was the only one there, somewhat to his disappointment. grinning to himself Naruto jumped into the perfectly heated water and wash the last few, invisible remains of the forest left on him.

“This is the life, a good mission, good girls, and a nice place to sleep, could this get any better?”, Naruto said to himself as he leaned back against the edge of the spring before he heard the door opening.

Turning to see who was joining him Naruto saw it was…
