Tsunade was the hot headed, sake drinking hokage of Konoha. You didn't want to wake her up from her slumber caused by the sake or you'd get an ear full. Sakura Haruno was the apprentice the this hot headed, sake drinking hokage. Over the years Sakura had been taught by Tsunade to become a medical ninja. She was now as powerful as the Godaime herself. Tsunade had also taught Sakura to gather up her chakra to her hands and feet to deliver a earth shattering blow. Unfortunately for Sakura her temper had rubbed of on her too, but she didn't mind at all. Many people we're jealous with Sakura for being to strong and successful and others were very proud.
"SAKURA!" Tsunade boomed. "SAKURA! COME HERE NOW!" Sakura ran off towards her office and knocked on the door. "Come in." came a voice which was in a drunken state. Sakura opened the door and walked in. "Ah Sakura, please sit down!" Sakura swallowed and sat down. "Sakura. I've called you here to tell you that you have been working very hard and I'd like you to go on a vacation to Suna." She cut straight to the point. "And I haven't been working hard for 5 years that I've been training with you? Mumbled Sakura to herself. "What was that Sakura? I didn't here you correctly." Tsunade looked up from the millions of papers that were stacked on her desk. "Umm, nothing Tsunade-sama! Nothing at all!" she said. "Alright then. Go get packing for Suna Sakura." There was a pause. "What was the rush?" Sakura thought. "You leave in an hour." Tsunade teased. "An hour! I can't even take a shower in an hour!" Sakura yelled. "Well then you'd better leave here and get ready." Tsunade smiled at Sakura. Sakura jumped from the chair and ran out the door leaving a drunken Tsunade.
While sakura was running to her home she heard Naruto calling here name. Sakura looked up at Naruto who was waving at her. "Not now Naruto!" "Why not Sakura-chan?" Naruto whined. Sakura, who was still running said "ImgoingforavacationinsunaandIonlyhaveanhourtogetready!" "Oh. Alright Sakura-chan! Not knowing fully what Sakura had said." Sakura was still looking at Naruto when she heard him say something. "Hey Sakura-chan! look out!" It was too late. Sakura had run into someone causing herself to go flying backward. "Ouchie!" Sakura said rubbing the back of her now throbbing head. "I'm so sorry!" Sakura looked up and was now looking into narrow Jade colored eyes. "Hn, Watch were you are going next time." the man said. "Gaara? What are you doing here?" she asked in an innocent tone. "Temari, Kankuro and myself have come here to get you.What else?" He asked very annoyed. "I could have gotten to Suna on my own" pouted Sakura. "You by yourself? You'd probably get killed the first step you took out of the gate." Gaara said in the same tone. These words practically stabbed Sakura's heart. "Oh. I see." She looked down. "Thanks" "Hn" was all he said. "I have to go packed now." She said as she stood up. Sakura started to run back to her house again. Tears spilled out of her eyes. She ran inside and slammed the door. she wiped the tears from her eyes and got out her backpack. She just remembered that she didn't remember how long she was going to stay for. She packed her wallet into the bag along with other items. "I'll have to buy some more when I get there." She said out loud to herself.
Sakura was now ready and was heading to the gates of Konoha. She was thinking about what Gaara had said to her. "I am not THAT weak. I mean I I am at the level of Tsunade." "HELL YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT! WE COULD KICK GAARA'S ASS!" screamed inner sakura. "We?" Sakura questioned. "You are only apart of my mind." Inner Sakura laughed and said "Who do you think has the courage to stand up to people like him? The boogie monster that lives in you?"Sakura thought for a momment. "Then where were you when I ran into Gaara?" The was silence. Sakura laughed at her inner self. Sakura was stopped at the gate when she laughed out loud. Temari, Kankuro and Gaara look at her. Sakura was snapped back to reality and now knew what just took place. Sakura started to blush. "Are we going or not?" snapped Gaara at Sakura. She flinched and nodded. This is going to be a long vacation.
