After the fall of the Akatsuki, as well as Madera Uchiha -who had plagued the village of Konohagakure since before it was truly established-. The village was able to give a sigh of relief, there had never been more stable peace. When Madera called out the Shinobi world with his declaration of war all of the Hidden villages rose to the challenge, after heartache and pain defeated him. After his fall, the Kage of the villages separated with a new sense of comradeship, and of peace, now understanding one another better there were promises for the future. Of how many would come to pass has yet to be shown, As a sign of good faith the rouge-nin Sasuke Uchiha was released in to the custody of Konoha -his team was sent to there respective villages-, As the world would come to find out, Sasuke had played the part of a double turncoat. He understood that Madera was responsible for the whole Uchiha debacle, he waited for his time to strike. His time came swiftly as Naruto weakened Madera. Sasuke, Naruto, and the four Kage leaders combined there strength and dealt Madera the killing blow. The Samurai leader then ordered his men to dump the body of Madera into the volcano, just to be safe.

After having Sasuke turned over to then Naruto, Kakashi, and Tenzou returned home to Konoha. They were greeted with complete shock, as everyone saw Jiraiya, who had met up with the group to Naruto's great joy, Jiraiya explained that when Nagato's resurrection Jutsu was used it revived him as well. All of the Shinobi from Genin to Anbu, held court on Danzo as well as the Elders. They were found wanting and were sentenced to death that day, Jiraiya was able to revive Tsunade from her comma.

Tsunade then announce that she would be leaving the post of Hokage to another. A meeting of the top Jonin commenced, it consisted of Nara Shikaku, Akamichi Chouza, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Shurinai Genma, Shizune, Ebisu, and Yamanaka Inochi. The conferred for days, At the beginning it was said that Naruto had the potential to be Hokage, but that was quickly shot down when they took into consideration that he was only 19, still a genin, and had yet to fully mature mentally enough to fill the position. The next person put on the stand was Jiraiya who said "No, if I was unable to defeat Nagato I am unable to fulfill the position. Although Tsunade and I would make excellent elders, even though only one of us looks the position." Tsunade glared daggers at him "Don't offer me up for things you big buffoon its bad enough you dragged me into being Hokage!" he shrugged. Eventually after many more hours of arguing it was decided that yes they would be the elders.

Shukaku who had for the most part remained silent throughout the exchange spoke up."Tsunade-sama when you were in a comma I nominated Hatake Kakashi for the roll of Hokage, I wish to do so again." Chouza and Inochi nodded there heads in agreement. Tsunade sat forward leaning on the table with her hands in front of her."Hatake ehh? hmm that would be Interesting... What do you think Jiraiya? After all he is the student of your student, teacher of your godson."

Jiraiya sat there for a second before stretching and saying."Kakashi would be a good leader, disregarding for a second his first Genin team, All of the shinobi who work or have worked in the past with Hatake, would gladly work with him again. He teaches teamwork and maintains that -In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.- Now it you take into consideration his genin team, the traitor, the kyuubi container, and the mini Tsunade, Although he did not have a huge hand in training them other then Sasuke, he still taught them their most vital lesson Team work which prevailed in the end. He would be a good Hokage. Genma you are one of his closest friends what do you think?"

Genma was slouched in his chair staring at the roof when he was asked this question. He then answered simply. "He will not like it, but the village would prosper, for it."

Tsunade nodded she was expecting that answer looking around the room she asked. "So do we all agree?"

There was a unanimous "hai"

Tsunade sighed rubbing the back of her neck, before grabbing Jiraiya and leaving the room. When he looked at her confused she grunted "Well I'm not going to be the only one to tell him." before mumbling that she needed some damn sake.

When she arrived in her office she yelled for Kotetsu to go find Kakashi and bring him here immediately. Tsunade then sat and placed her head on the desk with a groan, Jiraiya leaned on a wall off to the side. About half an hour later Kakashi strolled in lazily with a slight slouch and his hands in his pockets. "Thanks for joining us Hatake, well now that your here we have to issues to deal with first you have been nominated to be the next Hokage" Kakashi's exposed eye widened in shock at the news. "The second is what to do with the last Uchiha."

Kakashi stood there dumbfounded for about a second before snapping back to reality. "Tsunade-sama with all do respect i do not believe I'm subtle what about Naruto?

With narrowed eyes Tsunade spoke "Hatake Kakashi you are the only true option to be Hokage, Naruto cannot be accepted as he is still a genin and is to young, you were chosen by me as well as your fellow Jonin"

Scratching the back of his head Kakashi nodded with an eye crinkle "Fine i guess i accept," getting serious he continued "As for Sasuke he abandoned his friends, sought power form the one who killed the third Hokage, He almost caused the death of his fellow genin. He is unworthy of trust, I propose that you Jiraiya-sama seal his chakra to that of a genin-chunin, until he can be proved trustworthy. that and he should be under house arrest for a two month period then only allowed the missions that have the least importance."

Tsunade and Jiraiya nodded, sharing a look, they knew that what the Uchiha had done had hurt Kakashi badly, with a sigh Tsunade silently lamented her lack of sake before speaking. "well then that settles it congratulations Kakashi you are the new Hokage."

Kakashi nodded then left leaving a poof of smoke behind. Being truly alone for the first time since his return Tsunade turned to Jiraiya who had walked up next to her, jumping up she rapped her arms around him, holding him to her with all she had. "I......you were gone....."

Jiraiya was somewhat shocked at her reaction, he returned her hug. "its all ok now." he was even more shocked when Tsunade pulled out of his grasp and lightly smacked him on the side of his head. He could see tears in her honey eyes. "You baka, I should kill you my self!" she yelled but was silenced when he kissed her. Tsunade's eyes widened in shock before slowly closing. /they kissed for awhile before separating with a sigh. Jiraiya stepped back before getting on one knee he pulled out a ring that was set with every birthstone there was, so that it looked like a rainbow. "Tsunade-chan will you marry me?"

When Tsunade just stood the shocked Jiraiya started to worry that he was wrong, at least until she did a very un-persuade like thing. She jumped up and down with a squeal, then grabbed him in a passionate kiss before saying "Its about time you baka, yes I'll marry you!"

Else where in Konoha

Sakura sat in her office filling out the last of the paperwork for the night, when Tsunade in a coma it fell to her and Shizune to fill the shoes left behind. She was silently glad that Tsunade was back, because it meant that she could return to missions, Just before Nagato's attack on the village Tsunade had made Sakura a Med-Nin Jounin. Although she loved helping people Sakura felt that the hospital was to confining and she longed to be out doors jumping through the trees. With a sigh Sakura checked the paper one last time before standing and stretching her weary limbs. Sakura had grown little in the past years, at twenty years old, she was around 5ft4in, her face had lost a lot of the baby that it had once held. Sakura now had more defined features, her forehead was now completely proportional. Her jade eyes were slightly narrowed from her past experiences, Although being short she still somehow managed to be long limb-ed. But Sakura's most happy change was her breasts although no were near Hinata's size, they were a nice b cup. which was enough for Sakura who didn't really understand how bigger breasted women fought easily. Her hair was one of the most interesting changes to her and to others, were it had always been Sakura blossom Pink it now was a more silvery pink, so that it shimmered, it had lighted at the tips and was darker at the roots. it was cut to chin length.

Sakura's outfit was also different from her Genin/Chunin days, It was a black and silver Kimono top, that fit snugly around the waist, the sleeves however were lose and she had a number of weapons stashed up them such as kunai and a bladed fan. Sakura's bottom was a form of Jonin pants, but were almost skin tight-black , so as not to hinder. Her shoes were more like boots they had an inch heel and went up to just below her knees. There was over twenty senbon in each one. On her right leg a kunai pouch was strapped where had her med-nin bag strapped to the other leg. Strapped to Sakura's back were to Tantou regulation Anbu size one was black with a blue dragon and the other was black with an orange dragon, at the top of both hilts was a silver canine paw with a diamond below it, along the blade of the orange dragon Tanto there was a tree, along the blade of the other was a single paint brush. Tsunade had these blades commissioned for Sakura as a Jonin present, and when she told Sakura she gave them to her.

After stretching and yawning for about another minute Sakura went over to the door grabbed her coat off of the hanger and proceeded to leave the hospital and go home, or rather she would have if she hadn't been stopped at the lobby were a flustered Shizune told her that she had to go directly to see Tsunade. With drooping shoulders Sakura did as she was told, She barely made it up all the stairs to the Hokage office, stooping outside of the door Sakura could hear quiet voices talking. Deciding that she didn't have the energy to eavesdrop, she simply knocked on the door.

"Come in!"yelled Tsunade

Sakura walked in quietly closing the door behind her, before looking at her shishou wondering what she could want considering that it was almost midnight. "You called for me Tsunade-sama?"

Tsunade took out some sake and took a swift drink before saying anything. "Sakura I'm old, stop! before you start to argue hear me out." Sakura rubbed her arm guiltily before nodding her agreement. Tsunade looked out the window. "You know that your like a daughter to me, well I'm retiring, and your old sensei Hatake Kakashi will be taking my position." She paused waiting for some kind of explosion, when none happened she looked at her apprentice. Sakura was staring at her completely dumb founded. "As I am no longer going. to be Hokage i will be taking the position as one of the villages elders, as well as taking up more duties at the hospital, Shizune will be coming with me. I'm going to get to the point, Sakura you have learned all that I can teach you, I want you to become the assistant to Kakashi."

Sakura stood there just looking at her, before speaking she made herself take a few deep breaths. "Tsunade-Sama with all due respect I do not wish to be Kakashi's assistant, I was planing on taking up more missions."

"Sakura i understand how you may be feeling but that will not be possible you are the only one who is qualified enough to be Kakashi's assistant, and you are the only one who knows him well enough." Tsunade leaned back in her chair and waited for the sparks, and she was not going to be disappointed.

Sakura was pissed, why did she have to be Kakashi's assistant? It wasn't like she didn't like him, it was just that this was not what she wanted, more paper work and little to no missions, it just didn't sit well with her. Why couldn't Naruto be the...........! Tsunade was surprised when the expression on her apprentices face changed from anger to excitement. "Tsunade-sama what about Naruto, he wants to be Hokage, why doesn't he........"

Tsunade cut her off. "That is not possible."

"Why?!?" her apprentice demanded

"He is not mature enough, he and Sasuke are training, to become more powerful and there will be no time, to be a assistant to the Hokage He is going to be watching Sasuke. This is the best place for your talents, its perfect." As she was saying this Sakura had come to stand right in front of her desk and was now gripping said desk, so hard that it was breaking and splintering, looking up Tsunade's eyes widened at the rage on her apprentices face.

Sakura spoke through gritted teeth."So your telling me that I'm stuck with desk duty because Nagato has to train, Because Naruto has to keep watch on a traitorous basterd, Because its all about them!?! I am so friggen tired of always being jipped because of what those two do! I refuse i will not be the assistant find someone else!"her voice got louder and louder till she screamed the last sentence. Her anger was so intense that her hand gripping the desk were shaking it to pieces

Tsunade stood he own anger rising. "You are will remember who you are talking to! You will show me respect!" she slammed her hands on the desk smashing it to smithereens. "You will do this because i chose you to! I will not find any one else!" Tsunade was red with anger, at her last words Sakura's Chakra flared up so strong that Tsunade was momentarily blinded.

Sakura was now so angry that she was completely calm -which is always the scariest kind of angry- "Tsunade-sama you gave me a chance when no one else would, I have more respect for you than my own parents. But i will not do this, I will NOT waste my talents behind some desk for Kami know how long till Naruto is ready. I WILL NOT." Sakura crossed her arms and stared at Tsunade with a cold expression

Tsunade was pulled out of her anger with shock, Sakura was so against this, although she didn't understand why. It was perfect for Sakura she had a cool head under pressure, the field was to dangerous, even it Sakura was a Jonin she wasn't strong enough for it. "This is an order Sakura stop being so damn stubborn you will do this, you are not needed on for mission." Tsunade was even more shocked when a tear fell from the cherry blossom's eye.

Sakura was completely hurt, so she was unwanted that explained everything. It didn't matter how many lives she saved, how many missions she completed, she wasn't worth it, she was unneeded. Strengthening her resolve Sakura whipped her tear away."Hai Hokage-sama I will do it, good day." With that Sakura disappeared in a whorl-wind of Black Sakura blossoms that disappeared soon after. Although Sakura had said she agreed she actually felt the opposite. Quickly a plan formulated in her mind, She would leave the village if they were willing to accept the traitorous Sasuke back then eventually they should accept her. She would leave get stronger then she would return. At her apartment Sakura packed everything she would need, weapons, food, money, clothing. When she was done Sakura looked into the mirror she had to do something about her hair, eye and just her overall look. Sakura had long ago figured out Tsunade's Transformation Technique, now all she had to do was implement it. focusing her chakra to release the seal at the hairline on the back of her head. After a minute of concentration she could feel the seal start to work thinking about how she would like to look, Sakura eventually decided on silver hair with ice blue streaks and violet eyes she made her self a ft taller so that she was now 6ft5in Sakura then changed her features slightly she made her forehead smaller, eyes larger rounder. Finished with the changes Sakura closed the seal after leaving some extra chakra in her body. Sakura took off her headband and left it on her bed. Casting a quick Genjutsu so that no one would wonder at the strange person leaving the village. Deciding she should leave a note Sakura wrote:

Hi you all

I'm leaving the village, don't worry i will come back eventually. Don't try to find me cause you won't be able to. I'm leaving to better my self, I'm going to make my self stronger so that i will be needed and I can protect instead of being protected! I will return in about three years. Tsunade don't be mad or sad you were right, and I'm going to change the fact, Naruto you darling little baka Train hard love long. Sasuke you disappoint me......... you will never be as strong as Naruto because you do not gain strength to protect. Kakashi you'll be a good Hokage I wish you all the luck! Give Pakkun a biscuit for me k. Tenzou and Sai you guys don't have to be so distant, love and let you selves be loved in return. Tell Ino I'm sorry to leave without a goodbye. I wish you all the best, good luck to each of you!

Lots of love

Sakura Haruno

PS Naruto ask Hinata out she really loves you! Tsunade marry Jiraiya already it sooo obvious, Sasuke theirs more to life! Kakashi..............................be happy you were a great teacher.

Sakura read her letter over once just to make sure it was right, she would leave it one the wall across from the door. Sakura grabbed her pack and put the paper on the wall with a senbon. She left her house and had made it all the way to one of the exits from Konoha the giant doors stood before her. The only exit that was open at night was the southern. Sakura turned to look at her village she wouldn't see it for a long time, as she turned back to the gate she was surprised to see Kakashi standing in front of her. She decided to play it smooth and innocent. "Hi Kakashi-sempai, I would love to talk but I have a mission and i should get going."

Kakashi knew something was up, he knew by the look on Sakura's face as she looked upon Konoha He raised his eyebrow before responding. "A mission? At this time of night, it must be important." His eyes narrowed in on Sakura's almost invisible flinch if he hadn't been watching so close he wouldn't have seen it.

"Yep I've got to go to Suna I have to give Gaara a message about the new Hokage, congratulations by the way." Sakura started walking, and almost panicked when Kakashi started as well. Now they were both heading for the exit. "Kakashi-sempai is there something else I could do for you?"

Kakashi was sure something was off now, she was to edgy to twitchy."Sakura is something wrong? Your acting strange?"

Sakura kept repeating in her head 'oh shit oh shit he knows and he'll try to stop me!' she knew she had to do something."It's all good Kakashi I'm just a little annoyed to have to leave so late at night. Its to late to say goodbye to anyone, frankly I'm a bit surprised that your up this late." they stopped right in front of the open space out side of Konoha

Kakashi was sure that something was off, but he was willing to accept that reason after all we would see her again in less than a month. "I was just taking a walk, missions are missions Sakura you know that. I guess I'll see you in a while" Kakashi wasn't expecting a hug and he defiantly wasn't expecting what she'd do next.

Sakura was a bit surprised that he was believing her so easy, she knew that she wasn't the best at lying. In a moment of complete insanity Sakura decided to give him a hug, happily he didn't stiffen or push her away instead he hugged her back. Realizing what she had done Sakura jumped back a foot, whispered quietly so he couldn't hear "Goodbye Kakashi-kun" and disappeared into silver Sakura blossoms

Kakashi stood there shocked for he didn't understand why Sakura was acting all wired, he shrugged and blamed it on hormones, turning around he headed home.

Meanwhile Sakura had released the Genjutsu hiding her changed features. She couldn't go to Suna that's were they would look first, with her being friends with the Kazekage and all. Sakura decided she would go to lightning first. Then........who knows where ever the wind blew her.
