Time setting: After the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, but before Naruto leaves to train. And Sakura has started training under Tsunade. The pairings are kind of minor to this story, but in case you're wondering, if there are any these are them: Gaa/Saku, Neji/Ten, Shika/Tem, Ita/OC, Naru/Hina or Kiba/Hina, or Kiba/Ino

Chapter One: Knowing of Names
"Maybe if you didn't eat all that pocky it wouldn't hurt so much." One said, sighing, as they walked amongst the crowds on the street.
"But it still hurts damn it!" The other retorted, holding her stomach as if it would explode like a time bomb.
The third sighed, holding her forehead in her hands and shaking her head, "That's it, we're not stopping at anymore venders in foreign countries, Gretta; you get way too loaded on crap."
"But it's so damn good!" Whined the girl addressed as Gretta.
The first sighed once again, "We don't have time for your crap we need to go see the Hokage." And, with some grumbling, they set out to the Hokage tower. They climbed up the stairs, greeting people as they did so, and waited for the Hokage's secretary to see them in.
When the dark haired woman who introduced herself as Shizune did so, they were greeted with the blonde, busty chest Hokage herself.
"Welcome to Konoha," she greeted and stood, nodding respectfully as they bowed.
"It's a pleasure to be here," the leader greeted as the trio bowed.
"I expect your passage here was safe," Tsunade said, easing them from their respects.
"Nothing that was unexpected, Hokage-sama,"
Tsunade nodded, "Very well." She motioned towards the pink haired girl that had to be around the trio's age, at a desk in the corner, who was watching their exchange with cautious curiosity. "This is my student, Haruno Sakura, and Sakura; this is Buntai Soshi Team 2."
She bowed, "Pleasure to meet you," Sakura greeted.
The trio bowed in return, "And you as well," said the leader, "I am Unido no Gretta," she was the shortest, with short blonde hair in French braids and cropped rugged bangs, "these are my comrades Mikkon Cyrinin and her nin-ken Akisu" a taller girl with dark brown hair in a high bun nodded, "and Hayai Sizi." Sizi was the tallest her medium length light chestnut hair in a low ponytail nodded.
Sakura nodded and all eyes went to the Hokage expectantly, she nodded, "Well then, casualties aside, shall I explain this event?"
No words were exchanged, as none were needed, as the trio swept through the quiet night with a steady pace and definite direction. They arrived at the Hokage tower in a matter of minutes upon entering the gates and they wasted no time in gliding up the long staircase to the Fifth's office. Being the secretarial desk empty, they soundlessly entered the Hokage's office to find the Godiame Hokage asleep at her desk. Scanning around the room using keen night senses as they always did, they dully noted the pink haired girl buried in her arms asleep and a small desk in the far corner.
Under the Hokage's crossed arms where her head lay was a note. The leader swiped it and scanned the words.
Yes, I am most likely asleep, as you can plainly see. I wasn't about to be a zombie tomorrow as I read papers just because you had to choose an inconvenient time to arrive. Since you have my unconditional trust, I will allow you to go as you please and all I need you to do in return is just sign this letter to let me know you read it. I also need to know when your sensei plans on showing up. Your other teammates arrived around noon today. I already talked to them and they are staying on a street called Yuii St. They are number 19 in a white house. My student, Haruno Sakura, who is most likely still here with me, will be the one to come find you in the morning. If you need it, your accommodations are the blue house; Tsuki St Number 6 east of the Uchiha district. I chose this place for you and your team solely because you know this area. I will further converse with you in the morning.
-The Godaime Hokage Tsunade
The leader snorted almost silently at the comment, a twisted inside joke, but otherwise remembered the information and did as the instructions asked. After deftly signing her team's name, her own name, and her team's symbol she handed the letter to her comrades who did the same with their names.
Leaving the note tucked under the sleeping woman's arms, she turned on her heel towards her comrades and the trio vanished from the room, the bleak darkness covering their exit, and the only activity left in the room was the ink on the note drying and the dull breathing of its sleeping occupants.

Buntai Soshi Team 1
I believe her arrival is to be expected within the next few days, though with such person I can only give a vague estimate.
