I realized something when I type. I tend to have a lot more dialogue than actual description. I am sorry, I do need to improve on my story skills. Please bare with me~! I hope this chapter will be better.
Inner Sakura will be BOLD.
The two of them stood before the desk of the Hokage. The woman at the desk straightened her back and leaned forward to rest her chin on her intertwined hands. She let out a sigh and opened her eyes slowly to examine the two shinobi ninjas with a look of concern.
"We will not give up!" boasted the blonde ninja, giving the Hokage thumbs up to show he was serious. The girl next him nodded with agreement, forming a little smile across her lips.
"Alright, that's what I would like to hear. For now, this mission will be discarded until further notice. You two may be dismissed." The woman spoke out, waving her hand towards the door.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade." The pink haired ninja bowed.
"Alright Grandma!" The blonde screeched, saluting to the woman. Tsunade flinched at his outburst, making one of her eyebrows twitch with irritation. He turned on his heels and walked toward the door.
"Are you coming Sakura-chan?" He turned his head back to look at his friend.
"Go on without me. I will meet up with you later." She shooed him away, making him pout. When the door shut behind the boy, Sakura inhaled massively. Tsunade looked up at her with curiosity.
"Ma'am, I would like… to do a… uhm… a solo mission." Sakura exhaled, looking at the floor. It was quiet for some moments, so Sakura squinted her eyes shut for an answer. She heard shuffling in a chair. Sakura slowly lifted her head to see the woman's back, who was looking out the window.
"Shizune, I will need you to leave for a moment. This conversation will be private." Tsunade ordered sternly.
"Yes ma'am." With a nod, Shizune left the room with Tonton in her arms quickly, leaving a click sound from the door being closed.
"Sakura… You are very strong and intelligent. Very independent for a young age, too." Tsunade paused, as she tried to look for words to say. Sakura took the chance to take a seat in front of her because she knows this will be long. The Hokage cleared her throat before she began to speak again.
"I respect your feelings a lot, but I cannot just let you do something-"
"But it's just not about my feelings at all! It can also be good information in the future or-or I could actually, you now, manage to bring him back! By myself! Just let me try! You can trust me." Sakura quickly butted in her thought, hoping that it would persuade her medical teacher. Tsunade sighed and then chuckled at Sakura's outburst. She turned around to face her student and then crossed her arms. She shook her head in amusement, only to make Sakura confused, and a little frustrated.
"I'm pretty sure this is all about your feelings. Even if I did accept your request, what would your plan be? You are still a chunin, Sakura, not an ANBU. You could get yourself killed or molested. I can't let that happen to you. Your parents would be worried sick, also your friends, even me! The Hokage's duty is not only to keep the village safe, but to also keep their ninja's safe. I am sorry Sakura, I cannot allow it." Tsunade declined, noticing Sakura's inducement. Sakura leaned forward in chair, which gave Tsunade the thought of her not being finished yet.
"But you don't understand-!"
"What do I not understand Sakura!" She boasted, slamming her palms to her desk. The pink hair ninja flinched at the random outburst. Sakura swore she saw cracks appear on the Hokage's desk when she pounded her palms into it. When she couldn't think of any words to put together, she looked down to her knees in defeat, as she slouched back into her chair. The older woman in front of her sighed and took a seat herself, then rested her cheek in the palm of her hand. It was a long silence between the two, well…it felt like a long silence. Tsunade poked her lips out as she looked at her finger nails tap against the desk. Sakura fiddled with her thumbs on her lap, looking at how the thumbs over lay each other continuously. The Hokage was starting to get annoyed by the silence, so she lifted her head off her palm and leaned down to her side to see drawers. She reached for the bottom handle and slid it open to see her favorite drink. Sakura looked up as she heard the vagrant sound of shuffling. Tsunade grabbed the cup and the bottle and put them on her desk. Sakura glanced at her with a confused look, but then smiled lightly as she thought her new plan would work.
"Just before you think about convincing me while I drink, doesn't mean I might agree. Trust me, I'm a heavy drinker." She lied as she looked at the cup in her hand and then the bottle in the other. She tossed the cup and popped the lid of the sake bottle open, then chugged half of the bottle down. Sakura looked at her with a disgusted look on her face as she saw her teacher take in the sake roughly. The Hokage released her lips from the rim of the bottle and wiped her upper lip with her wrist and let out a small burp.
"Oh my." Sakura whispered as she looked at the Hokage in utter shock.
"What? Never seen a woman drink before?" Tsunade smiled when she slurred the word "drink". Sakura shook her head mechanically, not taking her eyes off her sensei.
"Well, how about this, Sakura, if you come up with a thorough plan, that will sound successful, I will let you do it. You will have today to think about it. Tell me everything tomorrow, 'kay? If I do accept the plan, you must not tell ANYONE. Do you understand?" Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Lady Tsunade, you must have drunk too much already. Are you really serious?" Sakura leaned forward in her chair as she looked at her teacher with amazement and excitement plastered on her face.
"Girl please, I am not even drunk." Tsunade leaned back in her chair and swat her hand like she was shooing a fly. "Seriously Sakura, I think I can bend some rules around here. You may not be ANBU, but you are skilled like one. But, if you fail your mission, not only you will be in trouble, I will be in great trouble. So go think of your plan before I change my mind. Go!" The older woman pointed towards her door. Sakura shot up out of her chair.
"Thank you Lady Tsunade! I won't let you down!" Sakura bowed quickly and ran towards the exit.
"Meh." The Hokage said as she took another swig at her bottle.
End of the Chapter~! I sure hope this one was good. I kinda made Lady Tsunade out of character in the end. Whoopsie. Hope this one was good though! Please review! I like critiques~33
