The now older girl looks up from her spot on the grass and releases the flow of sage chakra that she's been using for the last hour. She turns to her long-haired companion "Ero-sennin there are four coming from on the right."

The man stands and dusts off his pants. "I'll go get Tsunade." The girl nods and returns to her meditating.

She waits until the soft whisper of his footsteps fades before she reaches for the kyuubi's chakra. She thinks back to the time she befriended Kurama and mastered his chakra. His golden chakra surrounds her body bringing a sense of peace along with a slight hint of worry from her tenant.

The girl sends waves of comfort to her friend through the seal. He growls in warning, but accepts the feelings and both of them relax. When the four ninja come within hearing distance she pushes a bit of the borrowed chakra into her hands and forms the seal used for summoning. A puff of smoke reveals a small red fox. She releases her hold on the kyuubi's chakra just before the strangers come within a distance that they can sense it. The girl smiles at the fox and begins to pet him as he crawls into her lap.

She keeps herself relaxed and non-threatening as they slow their pace to approach her. Three males and one female cautiously walk closer to the girl, all of them with a leaf symbol on their headbands.

The girl watches the four as they get closer. She can tell that the one with silver hair is the leader because his footsteps seem lighter and more experienced. The pink haired girl has good chakra control and is using less to run then her other two teammates. She would make a decent med-nin. Thinks the girl as she strokes the foxes fur again.

Both of the younger males have dark hair and eyes with light skin. The girl can't help but raise an eyebrow at their similarities. Their chakra tells a different story than their looks though. The boy with the longer hair seems to have forced control over his emotions while the other seems to barely have any emotion at all.

The leader stops in front of the girl and watches her warily as she continues to pet the fox. None of the Konoha-nin can see her face because it is fully covered by a fox mask similar to the one an ANBU would wear. Two triangles stand out on her mask more than the foxes features. An orange triangle is inside of a red triangle. Each of the orange triangles points is touching the red the center of the lines that make up the red triangle.

What the four visitors don't realize is that the orange and red triangles on the side of her mask signifies her relationship with Kurama, whom she is gently stroking in her lap. The silver-haired man raises one hand in greeting. "Hi there. I'm sorry for disturbing you, but we are looking for someone and it is very important that we find her."

The girl looks at them directly for the first time and pulls off the hood revealing her long blond hair. The pink haired female gasps as her brilliant blond hair is revealed. She has never seen such a brilliant hair color before. The males don't react outwardly but they silently agree. "Who are you looking for?" Asks the girl.

The long-haired boy looks closer at the girl as his curiosity takes hold, but he still seems nonchalant and emotionless on the outside. Something about this blond grabs his attention and he can't seem to be able to look away.

"A woman by the name of Tsunade." Says the silver-haired man. The blond doesn't seem to approve of this but she remains polite.

"Why are you looking for her?" She asks. The man examines her body language for a couple of seconds.

"So you do know her?" He asks, coming to the conclusion that this girl does indeed know Tsunade.

"It really depends on why you want to see her." Says the girl with her voice thick with humor.

"If I said that Konoha had important business with her would you consider taking us to her?" The girl seems to ponder the question before she answers the question.

"No." Her voice still clearly tells how amused she is by the whole situation.

The pink haired girl groans impatiently. "Come on sensei, lets just go. I bet this girl just says she knows Tsunade-sama so that she can tell all of her friends that she talked to a ninja." The blond shakes her head at the other females ridiculous assumption. The girls words get her thinking though. Just how many people really would do what the pinkette suggested? Nevertheless, the other girl should have felt for her chakra before she assumed that she was just another villager seeking popularity among her peers.

The man must see the blonds head move slightly and raises one curious eyebrow at her. "Can I ask why you won't take us to her?" He asks kindly.

"Of course!" says the blond cheerfully. "Ero-sennin just went to get her and they should arrive back here shortly."

Understanding runs through the mans one visible eye. The girl opens and closes her mouth several times as if trying to find a way to fix her mistake. The emotionless boy watches his female teammate silently for a moment. "If I can not call you ugly, then may I call you fish face?"

The girls face turns red and she glares at the boy. She raises one fist but the other boy finally tears his gaze away from the blond and glares at her. "Sakura. Don't." She drops her fist but sticks her tongue out at the one that insulted her.

While they argue the blond silently gathers sage chakra and reaches out in the direction that she knows her guardians to be in. She feels them just outside of the hospital and releases her hold on the nature chakra.

When the blond opens her eyes she notices that the others are staring at her. They must have felt my chakra spike. She thinks with amusement. "You might as well sit down. They just left the hospital and Baa-chan is going to be hungry when she gets back."

The silver-haired man pulls out a book and the blond immediately recognizes it as one of Jiraya's. She rolls her eyes and starts pulling out the supplies she will need to make the seven of them some dinner. As the girl works the other four ninja sit but they don't seem to completely relax.

Finally, after a couple minutes of silence, the blond becomes bored and decides to get to know her guests. "So what are your names?" She asks. The man lifts up his head and puts his book back into his pouch.

"My name is Kakashi and these three are my students. The girl is Sakura and the two boys are Sai and Sasuke."

The girl smiles even though she knows that won't be able to see it under her mask. "It's nice to meet you. My name is-"

"Naruto!" A busty blonde and white-haired ninja come into view. "Have you made dinner?"

"Hi Baa-chan, Ero-sennin! Dinner just finished cooking!" The girl hands out servings to everyone and they all begin to eat.

When they finish Tsunade looks up and seems to notice their guests for the first time. "What do you people want?" She asks rudely.

"They said that they are looking for you." Says Naru quietly.

"What for?" Asks Tsunade.

"We are here to formally ask you to return to the Village Hidden in the Leaves and consider taking the position of Hokage." Replies Kakashi as he places his empty bowl on the ground.
