: The day had started off so well:

Naruto sighed and inhaled the fresh summer air. Soon he'd have to report for his next mission, but right now he silently thanked god for such a wonderful breeze.

"Yo."

Keeping his eyes closed, and still lost in a world of bright red Naruto replied, "Yes?"

He didn't need to open his eyes to know who decided to intrude on his summer day. Instead he continued laying on the grass waiting for Kakashi's reply.

"The Hokage needs us, be there in ten minutes. Bye," and just like that Kakashi disappeared in his trademark poof.

...So much for enjoying the first day of summer.

With a stretch and another sigh Naruto slowly sat up and opened his eyes.

It truly was a beautiful day, the breeze was perfect and the few clouds above only added to the sun's beauty.

After a couple of cloud watching sessions with Shikamaru, Naruto himself had decided to slow down every now and then to enjoy the small wonderful things in life.

Too bad work had to ruin a wonderful morning once again.

With another sigh, Naruto stretched and decided that he needed to leave now or else he wouldn't ever make to the Hokage's office.

: 20 Minutes Later:

"Naruto, you're late," Sasuke loudly whispered to Naruto as the young blonde entered the room, officially ten minutes late.

In return Naruto only smirked and stopped next to Sasuke.

"Really, I didn't notice," Naruto replied bored and inwardly smirked at Sasuke's annoyed face.

There stood the remaining team seven, to the far right stood Kakashi for once not reading his book, Sasuke stood to his right (annoyed face in place), and lastly Naruto who at the moment only held a relaxed look.

"I have an important mission for you three, it's a retrieval mission," Tsunade looked at the three men who stood before her and wondered if they were ready.

"The name is Cherry; I know you three don't pay attention to the entertainment industry, so I'll bring you up to date. If you'll proceed to pay attention to the screen…"

There on the Hokages desk (which at the moment was mysteriously clean) sat a medium sized television attached to a DVD player.

Within a few minutes the DVD player started up and the screen soon showed the main menu to the unknown DVD.

There in bright pink letters read "Cherry: Full Music Video Collection," and below it showed a few videos to choose from.

"…Forbidden Fruit, Everything I'm Not, Stereo, umm Freakshow… what exactly are we watching," a very confused Naruto asked a bit too loudly.

"Shut up."

"You shut up!"

Sasuke and Naruto glared at each other both daring the other to look away, too focused on their silent war they both failed to realize that the video had already been selected.

"I should have known the day we met…"

Naruto and Sasuke stood there both at a loss for words and the screen showed the video for Cherry's "If It's Alright," unsure of what they were watching.

But there stood Sakura clad in a very revealing black dress, blonde hair curly, cherry red lips, and black knee highs.

Her knees slightly open as she kneeled before the camera, singing and running her hands through her blonde hair. The scene changed and soon she was rolling around a white bed, once again displaying a strong sexual woman. Her song was about a lost lover and her video left a lasting impression.

All three men silently watched as Sakura sang and danced provocatively on the television screen.

Finally Kakashi broke the silence, "What is the meaning of this?"

"That is Sakura, I mean Cherry, and I want you three to go retrieve her."

"But…I mean how…wait… huh?"

"I think what Naruto means to say is… How exactly did this," Sasuke motioned towards the television screen, "happen?"

"Sakura asked to leave the village about five years ago as I'm sure you three didn't know. She said she needed to live a normal life and wished to no longer be part of this village. So after much thought she was allowed to leave the village and seek this "normal life" and do as she pleased. However due to circumstances she has been told to return to the village, politely mind you. But I just received a letter early this morning informing me that she didn't wish to return to the village."

Tsunade folded her hands and waited for the information to seep into teams sevens system.

"Why were we not told about this before," Naruto asked in a hushed tone.

"She requested that no one know of her departure. So it was decided to let everything think she died while on a mission. However she has become a star in the past three years, her songs have been heard worldwide. Sakura's videos and merchandise has not been released internationally so far, and all that has been seen in these parts have been burned CD's. This year Sakura's label will release everything starting next month, meaning her image will be seen worldwide. When she asked to leave, she clearly stated that she wished to live a "normal" life, however she is not living a normal life and the council wishes to have her brought back for punishment."

"What kind of punishment," Kakashi's voice broke the already settling silence.

"They have yet to decide, but they wish for her to be brought back as soon as possible. You three leave in an hour, here's her location, and be sure to not cause any suspicion. Dismissed!"

With a nod from all three they quickly disappeared leaving a worried Tsunade.

"Let's hope she doesn't put up a fight, this should be easy…"
