off to Tenchi Bridge

On the way to the Tenchi Bridge in Kusagakure, Naruto continues to glare at Sai most of the trip. Yamato tells the team "we will spend the rest of the day at a hot spring. since the meeting isn't until tomorrow" as they rest at a hot spring. Yamato tells John Sai and Naruto "there is no better way to bond than to be naked and together in a hot spring". Naruto gets up, visibly discomforted by Yamato's words, only for Sai to remark "I'm surprised that you have has balls after all". Naruto goes on a loud, verbal tirade regarding Sai's remarks regarding testicles, which the women on the other side of the hot springs overhear and laugh about; John knew for sure that Sakura is embarrassed by Naruto and Sai. Naruto hears the laughter and becomes embarrassed himself, "at least you gave Sakura a laugh" sai said. Realizing that Sakura is nude on the other side of the fence, he decides to peek. "Jiraiya almost died when he had both of his arms and his ribs broken and his internal organs crushed, which was caused by Tsunade when he peeked on her at a hot spring. if you were to go the same Naruto. Sakura would do the same to you that Tsunade did. that's if John doesn't get to you first" Yamato said which made Naruto freeze in fear, staying firmly rooted in his place as Sai and Yamato exit the spring.

After their dip in the springs, the four shinobi are greeted by a feast laid out in front of this eyes. Naruto hopes that Yamato remains as their team leader if a feast awaits them during every mission, an opinion Sakura echoes. "me and John had paid for the hot springs and for the meal out of our own pockets, in an attempt to boost team morale"Yamato reveals. The team then head off to bed.

The next morning, Sai gets dressed and slips out of the window while Naruto continues to sleep. John wakes up and looking out his and Sakura's window, spots Sai suspiciously walking on a wall.

John sees Sai drawing he expresses surprise at his artistic ability, not believing that someone with a cold exterior could be sensitive on the inside. "what is your work called, John asks. "I don't give my artwork titles" Sai responds. "usually an artist names artwork after the feelings and thoughts that come into their mind while creating the piece" John responds. "I created thousands of artwork but don't name then because I don't feel any emotions," Sai explains. Naruto, who overhears, simply states "I'm not surprised that a cold-hearted person like you does not have feelings".

Naruto glimpses at Sai's work and remarks "it's nothing special" Sai retorts by saying "Naruto your penis is also not special" which causes Sakura to giggle as she walks over to them. and to give Naruto visible embarrassment. "go on without me, I will catch up to them after I've finished packing," Sai tells them. Sakura decides to help Sai pack and notices a picture book. " I drew it," sai said. "can I take a look at it on the road," Sakura asks, Sai refuses, "it belonged to my older friend who is like a brother to me and I don't show it to anyone". Yamato meets them at the exit, ready to set off, and notices that the team is still not cooperating. However, Naruto puts on fake smiles to diffuse the situation, and the team continues their mission.
