Between Leaf and a Dry Place...
It should only be one and a half more days until our team reaches Sand. Kakashi-sensei has been keeping us moving at a quick pace, but making sure we'll still have the energy needed for when we get there. While we'd prefer for this to be as quiet and sudden attack/rescue as possible, we've got to keep prepared.
Naruto regained his memory in time to rejoin our team for this mission! At least, I hope it's all back. Even after a seemingly full recovery from amnesia, a patient can still suffer from selective memory losses. But... I'll put my faith in Naruto!
The fourth member of our squad is someone we've never met before. Sashimi Otaro-san, another chuunin. Hokage-sama wouldn't let Sasuke go, not with the strong possibility of Orochimaru himself being in Sand. I personally agree with her decision, but I don't know how to say that to Saskue-kun without him getting mad... He's kept mostly to himself this whole trip and hardly said a word, which makes developing our teamwork hard. Mou. It reminds me a little of Sasuke-kun's attitude when we were first starting out as a team. Normally, I don't think I'd have a problem with this but we're so short on time. It's better if we try to get ourselves in sync with one another so our team has a better chance of success. I thought Tsunade-shishou said he was friendlier than this and would be easy to get along with....
Regardless, the closer we get to Sand, the more anxious and nervous I feel. I still haven't forgotten that time I was captured by them, but... We pushed them out of Konoha. Surely we can be of help now and do the same here!
Sensei! We're following your lead!
