a talk between Kakashi and Hokage

Kakashi let out a sigh as he stared at the memorial stone. "Sensei I don't know what to do," he said to the stone. "One member does not trust another to not betray him and the other just seems to be going down a dark path. and the final member only does half on any lesson I give her. what would you do?"

"That is a tough question to ask Kakashi," said Hiruzen coming up behind him.

"Sir," said Kakashi giving a small bow.

"No need for that," he said. he then handed Kakashi a file. "Inochi's report from the sessions. Naruto and Sakura have been cleared and do not need more sessions."

"But Sasuke," asked Kakashi.

"He is one Inochi is most worried about. he even stated he would not be surprised if the boy went traitor if offered the power to kill Itachi. he is so blinded by the goal that any means will justify it," said the Hokage while shaking his head. "We should have caught this sooner."

"so, what will happen now," asked Kakshi.

"Unfortunately, being the last Uchiha he still has his supporters that would cause nothing but headaches if we pull him off active duty without real evidence," said Hiruzen. "For now, you will just have to try keep the team in one piece."

"That is not going to be easy," said Kakashi. "The teamwork they started to show has dissolved. right now, I would be worried on any mission outside the village."

"My advice," said Hiruzen. "don't focus on teamwork. once a member is convinced it's a matter of when not if he will be betrayed then it will never return. in fact, I would suggest individual training for all three of them. one on one training will only help the boys grow and getting Sakura away from Sasuke may remove the distraction so she can grow."

Kakshi shook his head knowing the Hokage was correct. "Yeah, I might just do that maybe call in a few favors to get other help. I know Naruto is a wind element so Asuma would be good to help with that. I can help Sasuke with his sharingan while trying to help him with his inner darkness. as for Sakura," he stopped for a moment to consider it. his first thought was Kurenai, but he was worried she would be a bit too soft. his mind then went through some of the other kunoichi he knew wondering who would best help the girl. he let out a dark chuckle as one name hit the top of his list now, he just had to convince her.
