Naruto considered it for a minute before answering. "Okay, I'll keep it quiet but what do you see for me? I mean, with my Jinchuuriki status my chakra pool and hit points are stupid high so I could be a 'Shield' type or 'dps' depending on how I spend my points. I just don't know which way to go."
"Let me think about your situation for a while. Your gamer ability makes things much more complicated allowing you to pursue multiple paths," explained Kakashi. "For now, let's get back to your teammates. Sasuke should be awake by now."
Naruto nodded and followed Kakashi back.
When they arrived, Sasuke looked even unhappier than before the fight.
"Now then Sasuke, still think Naruto will hold you back?" asked Kakashi.
Sasuke sneered. "Fine, he won't hold me back, happy now."
"Are you ready to apologize to your teammates?" asked Kakashi.
Sasuke mumbled something none of the heard very well.
"I'm sorry, didn't quite catch that," said Kakashi, encouraging Sasuke to speak up.
Sasuke glared at Kakashi. "I'm sorry I underestimated you."
"Try again," said Kakashi, it was not the apology he expected.
Sasuke growled, more than a little unhappy. "I'm sorry for treating you so poorly."
"Still not what I'm looking for," ordered Kakashi. "Sasuke, think about what your brother did to you then think about what you did to your teammates yesterday. Then try again."
Sasuke's eyes widened for a moment before they were flooded with rage. "I'm nothing like him! Don't ever compare me to him again!"
"Are you so different, Sasuke?" demanded Kakashi, his voice no longer friendly. "What did he do? What did you do?"
"He betrayed me, my whole family. He murdered them all and for what? To test himself, that's what. To prove he was better than all of them, better than everyone in the village," screamed Sasuke.
"And what did you do yesterday? What were your actions?" demanded Kakashi. "You betrayed your team, people you need to be able to trust and people who need to be able to trust you. If that had been a mission and I was an enemy shinobi, you as good as murdered them by putting the mission over your comrades."
"That's what we're taught in the academy," Sasuke tried to defend his actions, his eyes wide and slightly panicked.
"Let me tell you something I was taught years ago, those who abandon the mission are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are lower than trash. What your brother did made him lower than trash. What you did yesterday, made you lower than trash. Right now I don't see any difference between you and your brother. It's up to you to change and you can start by apologizing to your teammates the right way." Kakashi started his speech rather angry but by the end bite in his tone faded.
Sasuke suddenly seemed a bit defeated. He wasn't used to losing and despite having just lost a fight to Naruto of all people it was the argument with Kakashi that impacted harder. It didn't sit well with him. Had he really become like his brother? Wasn't everything he'd done to make sure someone like his brother never happened again? How had he lost sight of that? Was Kakashi right?
"Well?" asked Kakashi, snapping the young man out of his reverie.
"I'm sorry," said Sasuke softly. "I betrayed your trust and refused to cooperate with you as a teammate should have. If this had been a real mission my selfishness would have gotten you both killed. For that I am sorry. It won't happen again. But don't either of you dare slow me down or fall behind. I will not be responsible for your deaths."
"Apology accepted," said Naruto, no hint of sarcasm or joke involved. "But the same goes for you, don't slow me down or fall behind. I won't always be there to save your ass."
Sasuke smirked a little. "Deal."
"Boys," complained Sakura.
"Okay, now that we've settled that issue, let's get to work. We have a wonderful D-Rank mission to get to.
Your fists did the talking.

When Kakashi came back out waving a mission scroll detailing exactly the same request as the mission Naruto hung his head in disappointment. A chore, D-rank missions were just chores lazy people didn't feel like doing. Naruto wanted to scream in protest and annoyance but he had no choice in the matter. Plus it was basically free experience and money.
"Okay team, let's go," said Kakashi with false bravado, trying to encourage his team at least a little bit.
