It was another day in konohagakure; village hidden in the leaves. The birds were chirping, people roaming through the village, children can be seen playing …
"What?!"…and the loud outburst of the hokage can be heard.
"Calm down, Lady Tsunade, or else the whole village might hear you."Shizune said, trying to calm down the hokage.
"I'm sorry, Shizune,it's just that I can't believe that the whole fire country council had given Konoha this poison issue that even I can't handle." Tsunade sighed, really thinking it through, she knows that Konoha shinobis are skilled and smart, especially in their battlefields, but also they are some sort of not in the of this mission. This mission needs extremely precise timing, spyingand skill; to which she doubts her shinobis.
Seeing the lady in deep thought, she said "Don't worry, hokage-sama, think of it as n honor to be chosen; and besides I know that they can handle this isue with no sweat." "I hope you're right, Shizune, I hope you're right." She sighed again, this time grabbing a bottle of sake.
"Lady hokage, please don't, too much liquor is bad for the health and besides, if you get drunk you won't be able to sign the papers I'll be sending this afternoon." Then it hit her; if it was poison, they should be concealing it in food so iit won't be obvious, then, "Shizune, gather all information regarding this matter now."
"Hai."and with that she was sometime, she came back with files in her hand. "It was said that the ones who are behind this are can be found in a village on top of a mountain near Konoha. But the citizens repeatedly denied having poison in their area…"
While Shizune is talking, Tsunade was also busy finding something. Then finally, after encountered many papers, she found it; her suspicions were confirmed. She had a plan! And she knew the right persons to do the job.
"Shizune, send Inuzuka, Kiba and Hyuuga, Neji here in my office" "For what, Lady Tsunade ?" she was confused about the hokage's sudden change of tone and because of her decision. 'Why put Inuzuka and Hyuuga together ' she already thought that maybe it's because of their abilities. 'But still, if they were spotted, they're sure to be dead.'
"Just trust me, Shizune, I may have found out how to handle this with not one of our shinobi's dying." Tsunade answered; with a smirk on her face. Now Shizune was really confused; more of got scared. 'I just hope that whatever she's planning might work.'
"Now go." Hearing the hokage, she immediately return from her thoughhts and began to do what she has been ordered to.

Panting " Give it up dog breath, just admit it that I'm stronger than you!" Panting "Who are you to say that, Your beat up; just like I am !" The brunette said, enraging the blonde oponent. This cause Naruto to attack again.
Preparing to block the attack, Shizune suddenly ran towards Naruto to stop the formation of his rasengan. "Shizune-san, what are you doing ? I'm about to prove this mutt that I'm stronger than him." Naruto said, confused of her sudden appearance in their spar.
"Sorry Naruto, but Kiba is being called by the hokage in her office."She said, letting the younger boy go.
She then looked at Kiba. "Kiba, Tsunade-sama wants you in her office now to discuss a mission which will be given to you and your partner ."with much understnding, he gave a short nod to Shizune and smirked at the blonde, then he left, running towards the hokage tower.
Soon after, she bid Naruto goodbye and went looking for the Hyuuga.

"Neji, my friend and rival, I believe that it is such a good day to challenge you in a youthful spar, so I challenge you!" Lee said, doing 'the Maito, Gai pose'. With annoyance, Neji just shook his head and said "What difference will it make ? I 'll always win and you'll always loose." With a sigh, he continued to walk away from the spandex wearing teen.
"But I insist, I'll make sure that this time, I'll win; and is that Shizune-san running towards us ?" Neji tunred around, to see the said lady running and calling his name.
"Neji!"He just looked at her in the eyes, to indicate that he was paying attention. She paused for a moment to catch her breath. "Neji, Tsunade-sama wants you in her office now to discuss a mission which will be given to you and your partner." She said.
Though Neji left with just a nod, deep inside he was very happy and thankful to the Hokage for saving him from Lee.

"Goodafternoon to both of you " she greeted the two teens with a smile on her face
'Oh this just going to be fun.'
