Just a few thought:

Whhoooooaaaa, Kakashi is soooo hip! I can't think of a better person to go with them.. Cause next to the team, Kakashi probably was impacted the most. I wonder what he did to hurt his hand?

Good to know that Shika-kun is only a temporary smoker...so he says. By the time the mission's over it'll be too late. He'll be an addict.

I don't really see the logic in having team seven go as back up. What I mean is, why was Sakura right in saying they could easily contact them? Do they have a special team ten ESP thing going on? What makes them so special?

And where is Sai during all this? You don't suppose he's still in the library reading up on human emotions.

Late update. Sorry.

Kakashi's so cool. Was he keeping an eye on the grieving Team 10? Because he very conveniently overheard the dispute and had already settled everything with Naruto's training so that he could leave without trouble. On second thought, yes, he totally did predict this. He's pretty attentive to these things...probably more so after he misread Sasuke.

I like to think that his injury is due to him developing an awesome new jutsu and not Naruto burning up his sensei (but maybe that's why he's so eager to leave Naru to his training?). Time will tell.

So what's with these strict four man teams? I mean, where are Kotetsu and Izumo? Are they teamless now? Probably just an excuse Tsunade made to prevent the kiddies from doing something reckless. Darn that Kakashi spoiling her plans. I wondered if he whispered something else other than what the reader knows. Tsunade was quick to oblige after that.

What IS with the whole we-can-contact-team-10-easily? Maybe not ESP, but Team 7 will be the closest because all the other qualified teams are already gone? But that doesn't jive with Shika saying he's arranged for the teams (plural) to meet -- doesn't that make those teams capable of close contact with Team 10? So confused. Ah well, I-grieve-by-smoking boy is allowed a little incoherency for now. He didn't seem very happy that Kakashi volunteered (boo!), unlike Chouji.

Oooo...Egger the bounty collector is gonna get it from Ibiki. Heh.

Ummm....so why does Naruto *have* to get his new jutsu down before backing up Team 10? Wasn't Team 7 perfectly capable of completing missions before his new super-jutsu? I mean, is it really such a good idea to send a reckless guy with a brand-spankin' untested jutsu-that-surpasses-all-other-jutsu jutsu as back-up?

But! If Tsunade's "four man team ONLY" fix holds, it means we might see Sai. Sai! I didn't realize how much I liked him, but when Sakura referenced Team 7, my heart just jumped in anticipation. Go my little Asperger!*
