The Forgotten Tool
Tsunade Senju the Godaime Hokage sat in her office doing paperwork with one problem, she was taking the job she had done nothing but paperwork and trying to come up with new ways to hide her sake stash from Shizune. The former was torture, the latter was an ongoing challenge in her eyes at least. She wanted some action something to test her skills as the Hokage! Not a crisis like Nagato's attack on the village mind you, but she wanted to be able to go all out on a opponent. Sure she could tell Sakura and Shizune it's time for evasion training, but hurling massive boulders at her apprentices had gotten dull; amusing yes but dull. Tsunade had at least in her honest opinion brought her skills back up to where they should be, she wasn't in the same sorry shape she was when she and Jiraiya had fought Orochimaru. That battle would have gone very differently if they fought now, Kabuto for one would be a guest of Ibiki and the T and I Department and Orochimaru would be paste!
Tsunade sighed to herself and continued to sign, stamp, and review the never-ending stack of paperwork on her desk. Without a sound a Boar masked Anbu appeared in front of her desk in a crouch. Tsunade's expression changed from bored to serious in an instant as she uttered one word.
"Report!"
"Hokage-Sama, while on routine patrol Anbu team Epsilon encountered an unknown contact seemingly unconscious near the border with Wind Country. They attempted to render assistance, Anbu Gecko approached the unknown while the other squad members observed. Gecko made physical contact with subject when subject was not responsive to verbal communication. Subjects response was violent Anbu Gecko suffered as of yet unknown injuries. Anbu Team Epsilon has requested backup. Anbu Team Delta is moving to assist and will engage Unknown subject with caution."
"Boar what are the combat capabilities of this subject?"
"Initial reports indicate that subject is proficient in Taijutsu, other abilities or skills are unknown at this time Hokage-Sama."
Tsunade stood up from her desk an aura of authority radiating from her,
"Anbu Boar you will meet up with my Apprentices at the Northwest Gate,rendezvous with Team Epsilon and assist with any casualties they may have and escort them to the village you will leave in ten minutes dismissed!"
Boar vanished silently to complete his mission. Tsunade moved toward the door to her office, with a silent signal Anbu Team Sigma her personal guard appeared behind her all six members in a crouch awaiting her command. Putting on her green Gamble Jacket, She quickly slipped on the robes of her station.
"Team Sigma you are with me, I'm going to investigate this personally for a change."
"Hokage-Sama this is highly inadvisable it could be a trap set by Iwa or Kumo,Please reconsider."
"Ferret consider this as a show of force if you will. If this is a trap they will regret it when they lay broken at my feet. Now gather your gear and meet me at the gate, Dismissed!"
"As you wish Hokage-Sama"
Anbu Team Sigma Vanished as one. As she closed the door Tsunade hoped that maybe just maybe this is what she was the outlet she needed. She smirked to herself and vanished without a trace.
