[u]Kumogatauri Dobustu - Time for action, and seeing Sensei[/u]

Naoto was okay, she just needed to catch her breath, and Takeshi was excited and eager for more action... Understandable, he'd managed to grab the bells from Kakashi's tail, even if there were only really just one. Now herself and Naoto had to go get the other bell, and maybe a third if there was one? Who knew, maybe there was only one bell?

But time for pondering such intricacies was over, they had to go see Hatake-Sensei as soon as possible, Kakashi had even recommended it... That was also a surprise, that Kakashi could talk. [b]"For now we must go see Hatake-Sensei and show her that we got the bell."[/b] She then turned her head to look to Kakashi, but he'd poofed away already at the same time the bell went. [b]"Maybe this will be the end of the exercise, but if we're meant to have two bells, maybe Hatake-Sensei has another plan for us today... Let's go."[/b] She spoke with a firm nod, but inside she almost felt bad for not having gotten the bells herself, that had to be pushed down however as she lead the way back to the training field.

As she lead the way back Kumoga frowned inwardly, if the test was of who could get the bells and that there would be a second bell to acquire on the way back, she wasn't certain if she actually [i]wanted[/i] the bell or not... The praise for getting the bell would be nice, no doubt, but surely she could praise herself enough for being able to put on a strong facade as a leader, being able to fake the calm and the control that one would have despite her internal struggle with leadership. She didn't really need the bell, did she? [b]"...Shiratori-san? If there is a second bell, do you want to claim it?"[/b] There would be a brief time to talk in the forest as they headed back towards the training field, so maybe they could decide who should have it on the way?
