DISCLAIMER: Sasuke is EVIL! I do not own Naruto. Don't sue me. There may be some OOC-ness.
Sakura is... upset over the loss of a friend, and Tsunade decides to help snap her out of it...
"She's been depressed for weeks now... do you think we should do something?" said the Hokage to her aide, Shizune. She was talking, of course, about her apprentice, Sakura Haruno. She had recently become an unwilling witness to a slightly... disturbing event.
"Lady Tsunade, what are you planning?" said Shizune worriedly.
"Well, she's been like this since she saw those two fighting..."
"Well, of course she has! It's not like you'd enjoy watching your teammates kill each other!" Shizune exclaimed.
"That's what I'm saying! I don't like seeing her like this all the time. We have to help her get over his death." she snapped back.
"W-what.. do you plan on doing... exactly?" Shizune said nervously.
Tsunade smirked widely as she proclaimed, "We are going to set her up with a boyfriend."
"And... how... exactly... do you plan on doing that...?" Shizune said fearfully. She knew how Tsunade's "plans" sometimes turned out. The last one had resulted in two full-grown, although slightly incompetent shinobi practically begging for mercy.
"Well, the first thing we'll try is to put her alone with boys on missions and hope that they take to each other, and if that doesn't work, then I have another, slightly more... reliable plan."
"And... what would that be...?" Shizune said even more fearfully than before.
"You know that the big New Year's party is in a few weeks, right?" she said in a voice that was just above a whisper.
"Yes..." Shizune said, still more fearful than before.
"Every ninja in her age group in the village will be there, and even some from Suna as well..."
"Just what are you planning to do?" Shizune asked.
"Oh, you'll see..." she evilly replied. Shizune really hated that tone.
No, I don't think that ninjas celebrate New Years. But, let's just say that they do. Please review! I'll update sooner...
