5 years later
''shizune'' a blonde haired busty lady who looked like she was in her thirties shouted ''hai Tsunade sama'' another brown haired petite woman answered ''report'' the lady known as Tsunade said '' the situation around the border has gone much worse, two anbu teams were attacked and they barely escaped with their lives, they are being treated in the hospital right now.'' shizune reported. Tsunade's eyes hardened at this news ''you are dismissed'' Tsunade said. Damn it Tsunade thought as she thought about the things that are happening, since the banishment of Naruto nothing went right anymore, the sound,cloud and rock villages declared war on konoha, borders have been breached, teams attacked while on missions. Not only that they have lost some important allies like snow village, wave village, to say Tazuna was really mad will be an understatement, they still traded goods but apart from that there was no relationship between them. Sand village still kept their alliance, the Kazekage sabaku kankuro still held friendly relationships with the village but that was mostly because of the rookie nine. ''Tsunade sama the council members are in the council room awaiting your arrival'' an anbu reported, Tsunade sighed as she stood up.
The council room was full of chatter as she entered. the room went quiet as she sat down
'' I have something to tell you guys. As you all know the situation is getting worse and i'm afraid we can't deal with his threat on our own. I have decided to formally send a request to the Uzukage and request for help'' murmurs turned into shouting as she finished her speech '' That is absolutely unacceptable Hokage sama'' a civilian council man shouted '' I am not asking for your permission'' Tsunade spat '' As council members we are supposed to advise you on these kind of decisions and i'm sure all the council members agree that this is not a wise decision'' Danzou said. Tsunade banged her fist on the table cracking it '' listen up you fools '' Tsunade started hatred burning in her eyes '' the council was formed to give the Hokage advice not orders. Five years ago you went behind my back and banished a ninja and not just any ninja the legacy of the namikaze, the son of yondaime'' Tunade said as she looked at all the civilian and clan head members of the council '' that demon spawn was no son of yondaime'' Tsume inuzuka spat ''he is his son'' Hiashi hyuuga said quietly '' Yes hyuuga sama he is minato's son'' Tsunade continued '' As from today i am banishing all the civilian council members from meetings that only concern the military force of this village. If any of you go behind my back again i will not only banish the person or peoples involved i will have you executed'' Tsunade said '' Hokage sama isn't that a bit drastic'' Koharu a council elder asked '' I am not my sensei, Drastic times calls for drastic measures, am i understood?'' Tsunade asked ''Hai'' they all replied '' Dismissed'' what happened to the will of fire that Sarutobi sensei preached about? She asked herself as the council members left the room '' Send the message'' Tsunade told the anbu that was hidden in the room.

The village of whirlpool was located in a secret place known by few, it was a village that housed outcasts, demons and anything that was unwanted, it was a safe haven. It was ruled by a just ruler who was well known and well loved by his people. It came as a surprise for the villagers to see the normally cool and calm personal assistant of their leader looking so frazzled running from where the village housed the messenger birds to the central office also known as whirlpool tower.

In the whirlpool tower Gaara was making his way to the uzukage's office with a very important message clutched in his hand he did not know how he was going to react to this message. He entered into the office and was greeted with a smile by the person lounging behind his desk ''slacking off again?'' Gaara asked with a smirk '' It is my break time'' the man replied still smiling. Nothing changed much about him, he was still that playful, cheerful, optimistic and determined person he was five years ago before his banishment from his village, his blonde hair was still spiked and a little bit longer, he still had the three whisker like marks on his cheeks, at nineteen he was a little bit taller and much wiser. '' This came in for you'' Gaara said as he handed him the scroll. Naruto was quiet as he read the scroll. ''No'' Naruto told Gaara ''I worked hard to build and protect this village i'm not going to put my village and people in jeoperdy'' Naruto continued '' They banished me, they treated me like dirt and now they expect me to help'' Naruto spat '' Naruto, you have to remember that they are innocent people in the village, Tsunade sama never agreed to any of this'' Gaara reminded his friend '' It's hard i know, but she is only asking for a meeting to present her case. Surely you are kind enough to grant her that'' Gaara told him, Naruto just scoffed '' You know your parents would have wanted you to help'' Gaara told him, he knew Naruto will not deny the request after this, Naruto sighed defeatedly and slumped his shoulders '' I will write out the reply'' Gaara said as he ruffled Naruto's hair affectionately. Gaara prayed they were doing the right thing by helping Konoha.

''Tsunade sama'' Shizune said as she rushed into her office '' The reply has been received from the uzukage of whirlpool village'' Shizune reported breathlessly, Tsunade grabbed the scroll from her hand and tore it open. Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief as she showed Shizune the reply, only two words were written: ACCESS APPROVED.
