THE FLOWER

Sakura awoke to the sound of her alarm clock. She annoyingly turned it off, sitting up and looking at the calendar, today was the day she would receive her ''special mission''.

She got out of bed, took her shower, ate breakfast and dressed. She wore a short black kimono dress that stopped at her lower mid thigh. There was matching red kimono belt that tied the whole thing together around her waist. The dress had a small split along the hip area but stopped at her upper thigh. On her back was her usual katana, she didn't really needed but she had grown a small fetish for swords.

She slipped on her black ninja shoes, matching arm bands along with her red headband.

She was now 22 and had matured allot, her breasts were now complete full c-cups, her hips had grown wider, her curves had filled out pretty well, and she was now one of the most beautiful girls in Konohagakure.

She kept from building to building until she reached the hokage tower. Knocking on the door she was told to come in.

"Lord Hokage you summoned me". The hokage stood from his seat reviling his dark blue

eyes and whiskered cheeks. "Sakura-chan", he chuckled. "I told you not to call me that, it makes me feel old". She smiled back at him. "Well your not as young as you used to be", she teased him playfully.

He laughed but then became serious. "Well the mission I was going to assign to you, is really a choice in whether you want to go or not, I won't force you, but you may be he only one who can do something about it". Naruto had worry in his eyes.

"Of course I'll accept it", her confidence showed on her worried face. He sat back down into his chair and stared her straight in the eye. "Sakura", his voice as serious as ever. The Land of rice is in danger, it seems there's some sort of bacteria in the air causing their skin to crystallize before death". Sakura's eyes went wide.

Naruto's eyes were pleading. "Please do what you can to save them, it's a favor im asking". She looked at him with a loving smile. "Of course I will naruto-kun". His heart lit up after hearing his old nickname.

"Well then its settled, you will take two other ninja on this mission and be careful". With a nod she was out the door and headed straight for tenten's house. This was going to be a long day.
