The winter mission
A/N: It took me a long time, but I finally decided to write a multi-chaptered story. Hope you guys will like it.
- I don't own Naruto
The faint rays of the sun penetrated through the window of Konoha hospital, illuminating a desk at which sat pink haired girl. Sakura was signing numerous recipes, as well as sorting medical reports of her patients.
"Oh jeez, it's that time of the year when it seems all Konoha residents are sick!" – Inner Sakura grumbled.
"Well, no one forced me into doing this job..." - Sakura silently muttered to herself. As she was stuck in the half of the paper pile, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" - she shouted. Shizune came in the consulting room, carrying Tonton in her arms.
"Sorry to interrupt you Sakura-san, but Lady Tsunade wants you to come in her office, it seems she has a mission for your team."
" Thank you Shizune-san, I'm going ." – she put her coat on, secretly grateful she doesn't need to do a boring paperwork.
When Sakura came in the office of the fifth Hokage, there were already standing members of an old/new Team 7 – Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi . Uchiha defeated his older brother a few months ago, but it took a lot of time for Sasuke to come back. He was bitter about Leaf, because it gave the mission of assassinating their clan to Itachi. Fortunately, after Danzo's death, Sasuke calmed down and things were almost like when they were genins.
Sakura was very grateful for that.
" Now that you are all here - Tsunade began – I want to inform you about new mission. It's about protection of the owner of a construction firm "Haseko". His name is Daichi Kimura and he disputes with a man who we know as Kenji - a director of his rival company. Both men aspired to a land on the mountain Nantai, but Kimura won the race for getting permission to build on that lot. Soon he started receiving treats from Kenji, and I want you to ensure his safety. Is that clear?"
"Hai" – all of them said in unison.
"Good. Now go and prepare your stuff, you will be leaving tomorrow morning." After she said that, members of Team 7 disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
It was late evening when Sakura came out of the bathroom, wiping her long hair with a towel. She sat on her bed and moved a small suitcase which laid there.
She thought for a moment that she might take a bigger weapon pouch with herself, but she quickly dismissed that thought.
" This mission is going to be a piece of cake." – she murmured contentedly and closed her eyes.
A/N: This is just a prologue, so don't worry, next chapters will be longer. Please read and review.
