Alright! Third chapter! I'm feeling pretty good about this story! And I'm sorry about the other two....I can't think of anything for them. Sorry! Congrads to Kiwi4me for guessing who the song in the last chapter was about! It was about Sakura!
Nalybuites' nalyubuites...Aeria gloris, Aeria gloris...Nalybuites' nalyubuites...Aeria gloris, aeria gloris...
Tsunade sighed as she listened to the protest and angry words of the Konoha elders and the leaders of the clans. Only a few hours ago she had talked to the Kusakage and reassured the woman that she would not send ANBU after Ino or try in anyway to get the girl back, she had also swore that she wouldn't tell the elders where Ino had gone.
"Hokage-sama! We must send more ANBU after Yamanaka-san! We can't allow her to get away like this!"
Tsunade listened to the others agree with that statement as she took a sip of her tea.
"I'm afraid I cannot do that."
One of the elders, known as Danzo looked furious.
"And why not?! She is now a missing nin and we MUST get her back!"
His words scalded the air and Tsunade frowned, she really didn't like Danzo.
"Well Danzo-san, Ino is not known as a missing nin anymore, she has gone to another village and they have accepted her into their ninja ranks."
An angry shout came up from nearly everyone.
"Tell us where she has gone to! She MUST be brought back!!!"
This came from Hyuuga Hiashi, the leader of the Hyuuga clan.
Tsunade pursed her lips and steadied her gaze on Hiashi.
"Iie. I have promised the Kage of the village that she went to that no ANBU would be sent after her and she would be left alone. I'm not telling you there whereabouts of her location because I don't trust most of you to let her live in peace."
Danzo and Hiashi both sent Tsunade death glares while she sent one right back.
"Yamanaka Ino's files no longer exist in this village because they have been sent to her new village, records of both of her parents and her clan have also been sent there as well. The Yamanaka flower shop is now in Hyuuga Hinata's care and anyone that tries to break into it or the Yamanaka compound shall be arrested immediately and the action shall be considered an S-class crime. That is my final decision, your all dismissed."
One by one the elders and the clan leaders left the meeting room, some like Danzo and Hiashi gave Tsunade angry looks while others like Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza gave her greatful looks. Once everyone had filed out Tsunade rubbed her temples.
"Now all that's left to do is to break the news to the rest of her classmates."
Ino woke up feeling refreshed and happier than she had in years. Soon after she woke up a maid came into her room with a tray with breakfast for her that consisted of a bowl of soba, anpan, a small bowl of white rice, and a cup of steaming green tea.
"Good morning Ino-sama! I have brought you some breakfast before you can start your day. If this is not to your liking I shall bring it back and deliver whatever you wish."
Ino smiled brightly as the maid handed her the tray.
"No this is fine Minga-san, domo arigato. Itadakimasu."
The maid waited for a few moments before speaking again.
"Would you like to know what has happened recently in Kusagakure and what important events shall be happening soon?"
Ino nodded as she took a sip of her tea.
"Hai, I would like to know."
"Well a week before you arrived the new genin have graduated from the academy, six of last years genin became chunin, eight of last years chunin became jonin, and seven ninja recently became USNA."
Ino looked up from her soba for a moment. USNA stood for Undercover Special Ninja Assassin's and where Kusa's equivalent of Konoha's ANBU.
"Awesome, please continue."
"We had our rice harvest about two weeks ago and had the festival, ninja from Oto came to talk with the Kusakage about a treaty about four weeks ago. And coming up is the Kusakage's birthday and....the Otokage and some of his ninja will be coming here for a visit."
Ino nearly choked on her rice when she heard the last part.
'Orochimaru and some of his ninja?! Here?! Well...it would have had to have happen sooner or later....I just wish it had been later...'
"That reminds me Ino-sama, the Kusakage needs to talk to you as soon as possible."
Ino nodded and handed they tray back to the maid who bowed to her and walked out of her bedroom, soon after she left another maid came into the room and bowed.
"Ohayo Ino-sama. Shall I get some clothes for you? Would you like civilian clothes or a kimono to wear today?"
Ino got out of her bed and stretched a few times.
"No thank you, I would just like my ninja outfit, if it's clean that is."
The maid nodded quickly.
"Hai. We washed it last night along with all the other clothes you brought. I shall go and get it and leave you to freshen up."
As soon as she left two more maids came into Ino's room and one made the bed while the other drew a bath for Ino.
Ino raised her hands above her head and yawned loudly as she walked out of her mothers estate.
"The maids are so nice and polite, I can get used to this!"
As she walked down the streets many people waved to her and said hello to her, after all she was the daughter of one of the most important women that had lived in the village.
As Ino reached the Kusakage's building she was escorted to the office and left alone with the woman.
"Ohayo Ino-chan! How are you? Did you sleep well?"
Ino smiled and nodded.
"Hai! I feel so much better today! What can I do for you Hana-baachan?"
Hana grew serious and leaned back in her chair.
"I'm sure that one of your maids informed you that Orochimaru will be visiting the village in a few days and I have to ask you to be here when he arrives. I know that you don't like him and hold a lot of hate for the man but the things is, your the leader of the Yamanaka clan now and as such you need to be present for all of the villages meetings."
Ino frowned as Hana told her this. She really hated Orochimaru, in fact she had gone up against the man once, her had put her in the hospital in critical condition for a month, he had also wounded her face terribly which was why Ino covered one of her eyes.
"I understand Hana-baachan. I will be there and I shall not attack him."
The Kusakage leaned forward and looked at Ino.
"Ino-chan. You don't have to worry about him attacking anyone, we are in an alliance and as such we are not in any danger. Since you are now a ninja of Kusagakure he and his ninja have no need to attack you. I trust you not to attack him but I have to ask you not to bring any weapons. Do I make myself clear Ino-chan?"
"Crystal clear."
Hana smiled and waved Ino out.
"You can go now dear, oh and you probably won't have any missions for a while so don't worry about that."
Ino bowed to the Kusakage and left the office to do some serious thinking.
Alright! Next chapter is when Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Sasuke make their appearances! Tsunade really laid down the law at the meeting! I'm so exited! Stay tuned everyone!
