The four members of Team 7 passed through the Light Gate and returned to camp once more.
Sakura stood there blankly, seemingly still unable to recover from her earlier shock.
Naruto and Kakashi exchanged a glance and noticed that both of them were drenched in sweat. Clearly, they had been badly frightened.
Sasuke, noticing his teammates' strange behavior, could not understand why they were reacting like this.
