Getting to the bridge, and a proposition.

After that incident, Sai was banned from those particular springs for the next three years, and made to pay for the divider Sakura had busted through as she was deemed justified in doing so, especially after a scroll with some sketches of the naked girls, provided by Emiru as she liked to draw things she saw in her travels, was found on one of Sai's spare towels, which Naruto had planted during the beat down. Sai of course had honestly said it wasn't his, and Naruto must have planted it, but Naruto had pointed out that he would have to know what they looked like to do that, which he did, but denied that fact by claiming to be WAY too scared to peep on Sakura, which Yamato bought.

Needless to say, Sai was reevaluating his opinions on Naruto's intelligence, and resolved to stop calling him "Dickless," and changed the nickname to "Whiskers," which, while still annoying to Naruto, he conceded was definitely several steps up from the other nickname. Sakura healed Sai from the worst of his beating so he could function for the mission after that was "sorted."

Naruto headed to bed, and laid on his sleeping roll, when he heard his door open and looked up to see Sakura, dressed in her night robe, entering. "Well, we got two more nights before we have to capture the spy Master," she said in a sultry tone, sliding her robe off to show herself completely naked under it. "What say we use them?"
