The return trip was a lot faster than the trip there simply because there was no civilian slowing them down. What took almost a week the first time was shortened to just two and half days travel.
They were a tired and ragged bunch when they arrived back in the village but the sense of accomplishment wasn't diminished in the slightest. They had really done something great.
"Okay, we need to give the Hokage our report then I'll be giving you a week off to rest and recover," said Kakashi. The man led them through the gates only stopping briefly to sign them back into the village before proceed directly to the Hokage's office.
Naruto expected high praise for accomplishing such a high level mission, but the anger in the old man's eyes as he yelled at them all for the better part of an hour was not. He understood that they had technically broken the rules by continuing the mission when things had turned so badly. He even understood the danger they put themselves in. But he didn't understand how the old man couldn't hold even an ounce of pride in his shinobi for exceeding their ability and achieving something so unbelievable.
"I don't get it," Naruto finally said not being able to take it anymore. "We did something good here. We saved an entire country, stopped a really bad guy from destabilizing an entire region, something that may have spilled into Hi no Kuni too. Why aren't you proud of us? Even a little?"
"Do not mistake my anger for your poor decision making for a lack of pride in my shinobi," said the old man firmly. "You made a foolish decision that could have cost you all dearly. That you survived, let alone fulfilled the mission requirements, above and beyond that even, is nothing short of a miracle. I'm proud that you did so well but if you ever do something so stupid again, I'll see all four of you sent back to the academy for remedial training. Am I clear?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama," the four immediately replied upon sensing there was no joke in the threat to send them back the academy.
"Good, now get out," he ordered.
Naruto was about to say something but Kakashi's hand over his mouth prevented it in addition to being dragged from the room immediately.
"Right then, get lost you three. I'll see you in a week as planned," said Kakashi, disappearing in puff of smoke.

Congratulations! Your level has increased by 1.
Naruto grinned, he'd hit level 25. That one massive mission had netted him three levels, three bad ass levels at that. It was winning even if he saw Sasuke and Sakura both gain a level at the same time. Sasuke earning level 25 as well and Sakura earning level 22.
"So, anyone hungry?" asked Sakura.
"I could eat," said Sasuke. "But no ramen."
"What!" shouted Naruto. "How could you say no ramen? What is wrong with you?"
"Fine, then eat on your own," said Sasuke, turning to leave.
"Fine, fine, where do you want to go?" asked Naruto, slightly nervous about which restaurants would accept him.
"Yakitori-ya," said Sasuke, walking ahead toward the restaurant in question without stopping to wait for them.
Naruto rolled his eyes but went along anyway. He just had to hope he wouldn't have problems with his reputation at the place.
The late afternoon meal was nice and when it was done they all went their separate ways, Naruto home to rest for a day before he'd have to start training all over again the next morning because he had no doubt that Shikamaru and Chouji would be breaking down his door in the morning if Sakura didn't get there first.
He had a lot of bonus stat points earn and he'd be damned if didn't get them all by the time his team all met up again.
