Chapter 1: The Mission

Sakura POV

I awoke an early Wednesday morning. It was usual for me to wake up early anyways. Tsunade had told her the previous night before she left the hospital that she needed to talk to me about a mission. I hoped that she was actually going to give me a serious mission this time. She has only been giving me stupid missions such as escorting people all around the area, or showing people from the Village Hidden in the Mist around for the up coming chuunin exams.

"Hey, Shizune. Can I talk to Tsunade or is she in another meeting?" I questioned, because last time I walked into Tsunade's office I had interrupted a big meeting.

"I don't think she is, you can just go ahead and go into her office, she shouldn't mind," Shizune replied in her usual tone with a smile.

I entered the room that reeked of sake, as usual. Tsunade was burying her face in paper try to look 'busy'. She noticed me and smiled. "Sakura, please sit." I did as I was told. "The mission that you are about to receive will require you to leave Konaha for at least four months." I nodded waiting to hear more details about my mission.

"I am going to send you to Suna, for there is much lacking in the medical field there, and you have already surpassed me in every type of justu I have taught you, so I am trusting you to represent Konaha and also succeed greatly in the mission you have been assigned." I nodded understandingly. "Knowing your mission, do you accept?" Tsunade said already knowing the answer.

"Of course I do Tsunade," I said with a small smile, knowing that I would have to leave Konaha for a long period of time. I was going to miss everyone so much. "Alright, I would like for you to be ready for your departure tomorrow morning at 7:30. Does that seem to be enough time for you to say your goodbyes and pack all of your clothing?" Tsunade, my second my asked me.

"Yeah, that's plenty of time." I replied while running out of the office to start packing, so I could say my goodbyes to everybody tonight.

I entered my house and pulled out clothes that I would use including: several read vest like shirts with the Haruno crest on the back, the same amount if not more black skirts that came down to about mid-thigh with small slits at the side of the skirt, more leggings to put underneath my skirt that only came down about an inch or two below the skirt. I also packed a few pajamas that were just your basic short shorts, tanks tops, pajama pants, and my green fuzzy slippers that I usually wore all around my house. I also packed a few extra ninja sandals just in case I broke mine.

I went over to Naruto's to see that Kakashi was also there. I asked them if they wanted to go eat some ramen with me, with me paying for it. Once Naruto heard that it was on me, he agreed with a huge grin. "Thank you , Sakura," Kakashi said coolly never looking up from his orange 'book'. "Eh, it's all good," I laughed, seeing the blonde skipping to the Ramen stand. I was gonna miss these two a bunch while I was off in Suna.

~~Time Skip~~

I awoke, not to happy about leaving in about two hours. It was 4:45 a.m.. I decided it would be a good thing to take a shower even if when I got to Suna. I slipped into the shower after grabbing today's outfit and a towel. I was only in the shower for about 15 minutes then I decided to get out and get ready.

I got out and brushed all of the tangles out of my soft pink hair. I slipped my long, slender creamy legs into my leggings, and then into to my skirt. I finished dressing completely, and headed towards the front gates, already knowing that Tsunade, Naruto, and the lazy Kakashi would most likely be there waiting to say goodbye for my long departure.

As I approached the gates it looked as if Naruto was crying with his usual anime tears. Kakashi sat there with his orange book, although he did appear to be a bit sad. Tsunade stood next to Naruto with her arms crossed at her busty chest. They were the only family I had. Tsunade was my mom, Naruto was my younger brother, and Kakashi was my overly protective older brother. I loved them, and already knew that it was going to be a long five or more months without them bugging me everyday. "Well Sakura you better head off so you can make it to Suna quickly," Tsunade said with a small smile, sad that I was about to leave her for so long.

I gave all three of them a quick hug, and then I was off to the horrid desert, Suna.
