Naruto 286

As the team walks, Naruto contemplates how Sai resembles Sasuke. Sai asks him to stop staring and Naruto gets angry. Yamato tells them to calm down, that they are a team now. Naruto retorts he had a team, and it had Sasuke, not Sai. Sai states he is glad he is not Sasuke, because he was a bastard traitor. Sakura steps to calm Naruto and asks Sai to forgive him, and then suddenly slugs Sai. She states he does not have to forgive her though. Sai says he was fooled by Sakura's fake smile, and Sakura tells him to not talk about Sasuke again in her presence. Sai states he smiles because it says in a book that even fake smiles will help get out of bad situations. Yamato then forms a handseal and does a wood prison technique. He says they can spend a day making friends in it or go to a hot springs, and he interjects that he is not against ruling by terror. Sakura is surprised he could use Shodai’s wood release jutsu. In the springs Yamato, Naruto and Sai relax. Yamato says relaxing as men in the nude should make them comrades, and then gives Naruto his scary terror face. Naruto jumps up and agrees and Sai ruefully comments that it appears Naruto finally has "one". Naruto yells at him for only thinking about penises. An embarrassed Sakura can only curse Naruto from the nearby women’s spa, as fellow female bathers laugh at his comments. Naruto gets a dirty eye to peep but Yamato exits the spring and warns him that Jiraiya once made the same mistake when he was younger, and Tsunade beat him to a pulp for it. In the bath cabin, Yamato sits down looking at an ANBU Root mask, and states things should start getting busy soon.
