Well needless to say I'm a little disappointed with the amount of responses I've gotten. I know it's a pain but please please PLEASE let me know what ya'll think! This story is like my baby I've put a lot more work into it than any of my other fics.
Chapter 2- Meanwhile in Konoha
"Eh what a drag. Why do I have to organize the welcoming committee again?"
"Maybe because your Hokoge is ordering you to?" Tsunade said in a stern voice that would scare most shinobi into scilence. Unfortunately Shikamaru Nara was not most shinobi. He simple yawned and muttered a whatever under his breath while exiting the Hokage's office without waiting to be dismissed. Tsunade gave an exasperated sigh and called for Shizune to bring her some tea. It was stupid of her to involve Konoha in the Shinobi Exchange Program. In theory it was supposed to be a way for high ranking shinobi to learn about the way of life in other ninja villages. It had turned out to be nothing more than a way for the different villagees to show off. Each country was sending their best and brightest, probably instructing them to look for potential weaknesses in case the village they were staying at suddenly became an enemy. And Tsunade had played right along with it. She wasn't worried about sending Neji to Suna as the Sand village was indeed their ally. What she was not so at east with was the representative that was coming to Konoha. Princess Midori of the Stone. A princess for god's sake! You can't get much more high profile than that. And this wasn't just any princess, she thought dubiously as she glanced down at the girl's file again. Midori was a lethal weapon. Rock armor, mountain lion summoning, and the best tiajutsu user in the entire Rock country. The old woman found it hard to make that description fit the picture of the young face smiling up at her. She then gave a chuckle once she relized that is probably how most people viewed her student Sakura. As she sipped her tea she wondered if the two kunoichi would get along.
