Path Not Taken 124

Uzumaki Naruto

Well... this is awkward...

Hatake Kakashi

That's one way to put it.

Hatake Kakashi

I'm really glad to have you back, Naruto.

Haruno Sakura

How have you been?

Haruno Sakura

When you left... I didn't know what to think.

Uzumaki Naruto

Well, there'll be a lot of time for that later!

Uzumaki Naruto

For now... let's see what you guys can do!

Haruno Sakura

Ready to show off my training!

Hatake Kakashi

Same as before. Try to get the bells from me.

Hatake Kakashi

Whoever fails goes without lunch.

Uzumaki Naruto

Wait... there are three of us but only two bells again?

Uzumaki Naruto

Kakashi-sensei, did you forget how to count?

Hatake Kakashi

Some things never change, do they?

Hatake Kakashi

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear.
