Team 7 had been on the road for the whole afternoon. They had left the hidden mist and were now on their way back to the leaf.

Shiro smiled at the thought of going home finally, she was sure the Hokage would side with her when she todo him what happened, and with the letter that Johiro gave her? The perfect evidence.

Sakura and Naruto however were not happy at all. Sakura was glaring at Shiro.
"How the hell did you even get there before us. I was sure you would of just given up and died" Sakura commented out loud, Shiro shrugged
"I guess I'm better at surviving then you originally though" Shiro smirked at the pinkette and turned back around, tail wagging and ears up.

Naruto himself was walking beside Sakura, a slight blush in his cheeks from seeing the cat girl in front of him so happy. Why did he side with Sakura when he liked Shiro..

The said girl grinned as she sped up her walking pace. Wanting to get to the village quickly,

"I can't believe Johiro actually fell for what you told him. You ditched us Shiro" Sakura commented "you were so fed up with us that you left in the middle of the night leaving us alone with one less team member to go get Himiko ourselves, and then to frame us by going to the hidden mist early? Our such a liar"

Naruto looked to Sakura and sighed
"Why'd you leave us alone Shiro" he muttered going along with what Sakura was Doing.

Shiro had paused and turned back to look at them, were they serious? They switched the roles making her seem like the mean one. She had a feeling that they'd be telling the Hokage that right as they came in. But would Hiruzen fall for such a claim?
Shiro sighed at the two's plan and continued walking, deciding to ignore them and their stupid plans to frame her for something that they did.

"So Shiro.. Wanna hang out after the mission?" Naruto suddenly asked. Shiro paused again and looked at the blonde with an annoyed look.

"You expect me to hang out with you after what you did during this mission? Seriously? Do you really think I would be so ignorant that I would accept. Well I'm sorry but your dead wrong" Shiro snapped. Arms crossed and annoyed with him, giving him a glare. The blonde's once hopeful expression quickly changed to one of confusion and sadness
"But I didn't do anything--" shiro rolled her eyes and raised a hand.
"Just stop. No matter how many times you try. It won't. Work. You know why" Shiro whispered, but before the blonde could respond she took a breath in and growled angrily
"Because you do this. You do something wrong, cruel or mean to me. Say it was Sakura influencing you and then suddenly think you should ask me out or spend time with me. Do you seriously think the friendship we once had is still here?! It was broken well before the exams, well before the first mission we went on" Shiro paused for a moment catching her breath. "Our friendship ended the moment team 7 was formed. I was sad. I was sad to know that the one person I thought I could trust turned out to be someone so naive that he couldn't tell that he was hurting the person he called his best friend" Shiro spat. Angry and annoyed. It didn't hurt anymore to say the things out,oud, not after what he and Sakura had done to her so many times.

They arrived back at the leaf pretty quickly after the conversation she had with Naruto, the trip had remained quiet since and no one wanted to bother to speak. It would just come out as an insult or argument. Shiro smiled as she stepped back into the village, but was quickly reminded of who had left right before her mission. Her eyes darkened for a moment before snapping back to nromal as Naruto and Sakura passed her, heading straight to the Hokage's office. Shiro smiled and took out the note that she had gotten from Johiro, she smiled at the thought of finally teaching them a lesson.

Shiro quickly caught up to them, occasionally seeing people avoid and ignore he. But she didn't care, she couldn't care less about the people around her,Nashe only cared about getting the letter to the Hokage and showing evidence of what her team members had done to her.

Entering the office just a few minutes after Sakura and Naruto she opened the door to see a crying Sakura and saddened Naruto.
"She left us to guard Himiko-san by ourselves after saying she was so fed up with us and wants us dead!" Sakura cried, fake tears, a fake frown, Naruto the same. Shiro couldn't believe them. They had actually went and gone with their plan to guilt trip the Hokage, knowing that it was two against one.

As Shiro walked further into the room, Hiruzen looked up with a expectant expression, ready to hear her side of the story.
"What they're saying isn't true lord Hokage. I swear by it" Shiro stated clearly.

"Than what really happened Shiro?" The Hokage asked, calmly, but still narrowing his eyes at her suspiciously, yes her team had Done it before, but he needed to be sure she hasn't suddenly changed her entire view on her team and is now seeing them as useless. Like they've done to her.

Shiro took a breath and kept a serious expression in her face.
"We were at our first night of the mission, we had set up camp  for lunch, since Naruto insisted on having his ramen. After about an hour Sakura and Naruto were sitting around the fire and eating. I left to go refill my water canteen. Once I got back they were gone. Left their Rubbish, Naruto left his bag and cooking supplies behind"
"Why didn't you go to catch up with them" the Hokage questioned making Shiro sigh
"Because they were a good couple hours ahead of me. They would of been done and completed the mission by the time I got to the hidden mist. And would of definitely avoided me if I was spotted"
"Then what did you do instead. You didn't come back here"
"I went to the hidden mist. I had contacts there, and knew where it was. I would get there a day ahead of them if I had cut across the border. And with them escorting Himiko. It would take them longer. I stayed with Tazuna, the bridge builder we helped out and met the team at the clients home"

"Do you have proof?" The Hokage asked, eyeing Shiro. Shiro smirked and nodded, pulling out the written letter from Johiro and Himiko. The Moment the Hokage read over it, his expression turned to one of anger and disappointment, making Naruto and Sakura pale.
