The pink haired kunoichi stands and looks at her mentor. She was called to the hokage's tower suddenly this morning. "Um. Lady Tsunade, why am I here so early?" The women looks up at her pupil and smiles. "Because Sakura, I'm sending you on a mission as lead nin. I wanted to give you the details in private." Sakura nods slowly. "Um. Ok." Tsunade turns towards the window. "Suna has been attacked and the Kazekage has asked for Konoha's help. I've decided to send a small team of my finest to help out in the matter."

"Are you sure I'm fit for the job, Lady Tsunade?" Sakura asks slowly.

"Yes very much so, Sakura, I believe you're perfect for this mission." Tsunade says with a smile

The girl is given more details about her upcoming mission then was dismissed. She quickly ran home and packed a small pack of items that she would need on the travel there. She then made her way to the village gates to meet her team. already at the gate is her old teacher, Hatake Kakashi. "Kakashi-Sensei? I didn't know you were coming." The white-haired nin looks up from his book.

"oh. Well that's because I was late addition. Tsunade thinks I can help with my black ops experience." He says crinkling his eyes.

"oh ok. Who else is on this mission?" She asks looking around.

A group of three nins walk up. "Sorry we're late, Ino didn't know what she was going to bring with her." Sakura turns to see cell 10 standing behind her. "Master Kakashi, are you standing in for Master Asuma on this mission?" Choji asks. The copy nin nods. "Yes I was informed that he is ill so I offered to stand in." Sakura watches then clears her throat. "Well I think we should go if we want to make it on time."

The nins make great time making it in just a few days. They stop at the gates. "We are the nins here to assist Suna in its time of need. Please let us pass." Sakura says with a smile. The guards nod and open the gates. The group walks past. They are then escorted to the Kazekage's tower and into his office.

The red-haired man sitting in a high back chair is turned away from them. "So this is the group Tsunade sent me. Good." Sakura's eyes widen she knows that voice. "Gaara, is that you?" She says as the others stop moving and look towards the man. He turns his chair around and smiles. "Yes it is."

"Congrats on making kage." Kakashi says and bows.

Sakura looks confused. Then bows as well. "Ok so the four of you will be helping my men protect the village and you, Sakura, will be at my side untill this threat is disposed of." Everyone nods. "The four of you are dismissed. I will have someone show you to your living quarters they will meet you outside."

The others turn and leave. Gaara motions to a chair. "You can sit there if you would like, Sakura." Sakura sits. "So you're the new Kazekage that's great, Gaara." He smiles. "Yes. Well not untill I prove I can protect the village. Tsunade said you were her top med nin. I guess I could use all the help I can get. Well you are probably tired. Let me show you to your room. It's right next to mine."

Sakura stands and follows Gaara to her room. She nods and smiles as he opens the door to the small room. "Its got a bathroom there." He points to a door. "Please meet shortly after sunrise. So we can visit the sick. Good night, Sakura." The door closes and he is gone. Wow he looks good. better now than before
