WARNING: Again, stupid grammar mistakes here and there! When will my friend come and fix Microsoft Word for me?!!! GEEZ! D: I'll kill him if he doesn't help this month! (not really, but you know what I mean XD) ALSO!: I only spent like 2 hours on this...seriously. I started writing this 2 hours ago because I knew I needed to hurry up and update by now, so sorry for any possible confusion caused...and yes, you may now start throwing random objects at me for my slacking -_- BAD INA-CHANZ! BAD!
Disclaimer: You should know by now that I do not own Naruto.

"Absolutely not!" Tsunade shouted from her desk. Team 8 stared at her.
"But Tsunade-sama! It's for my mother and-"
"No buts Hanabi! It's a pointless search. We have no refrences or anything, so could you possibly hope to find her? I know you don't want to hear this, but you're sister was probably killed by the woman on that night anyway. I'm sorry Hanabi."
"We do have ONE reference!"
"Oh?"
"She goes by "The Goddess of Paper" and "Angel"."
"...Well, a number of kunoichi could be known as "Angel", but the latter is somewhat more unique..." Tsunade looked at Shizune who was clutching Ton-Ton to her chest. "Shizune!"
"Hai Tsunade-sama?"
"Go have the ANBU or any other people good enough to find out more on this "Goddess of Paper". See if she's been seen with a teenage girl possibly. The girl must be atleast sixteen by now."
"Hai Tsunade-sama!" Shizune immediately left the room.
"Tsunade-sama...?" Hanabi asked, confused by Tsunade's sudden change of heart. Tsunade heard Hanabi as she enlaced her fingers on her desk and sighed.
"You said you wanted to do this for your mother, right?" Tsunade asked in a sudden calm, concerned tone.
"...Yes," Hanabi replied.
"As you know, she's in a terrible state of health right now. I'm surprised she's not in a coma by now..." Hanabi narrowed her eyes and looked down. "...but that may be by sheer will, the will to see her daughter again...she refuses to die until she gets that. Also because of you too...heh..." Hanabi looked up at Tsunade.
"What is it Tsunade-sama?" Tsunade looked at Hanabi straight in the eyes.
"I remember your mother when she was a young gennin...about your age actually. She was very quiet...and stuttered...sometimes I just wanted to smack her for how annoying that pesky stutter was..." Tsunade smiled at the memories. "...she also had a crush on that Uchiha...um, what was his name...? Oh yeah! It was Fugaku...Uchiha Fugaku...they were on the same team too, along with Kiba's uncle Akihiko..." Kiba looked up.
"Really?" Kiba asked, looking at Hanabi.
"Yes. Team 15...composed of Hyuuga Uma, Uchiha Fugaku, and Inuzuka Akihiko. Their sensei was actually...Uzumaki Kushina." Kiba, Shino, and Hanabi looked up at their Hokage.
"Uzumaki?!" Kiba exclaimed. Tsunade nodded.
"Yes. Uzumaki Kushina..." Tsunade said again. Hmph, Minato just COULDN'T let Kushina have no job when she moved in to Konoha like that...sadly, she got pregnant with that knucklehead and had to resign and stay at home...-sigh- poor Kushina...
FLASHBACK
Tsunade walked down the path towards the training grounds, pretty bored/ frustrated with Jiraya for accidently touching her boob when he-you know what, never mind. He'd be in the Hospital for ATLEAST a month anyway...
She was lost in thought until a sudden push got her out of it.
"What the-?!" Tsunade saw a little girl with short black hair that hung JUST above ber shoulders run off in the path infront of her. "HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING YOU LITTLE-"
"I-I'M SORRY!" the little girl shouted in a squeaky, tiny voice over her shoulder. Tsunade rubbed her arm.
"Geez..." Tsunade muttered as she watched the girl disappear around the corner of the forest. Tsunade then, having nothing better to do, quietly followed the girl to see what all the hurrying was about (even though she knew the girl was obviously late for training or something...)
-:|:-
"H-Hi guys..." the same girl said timidly, waving a little at her team with a weak smile.
"Hey Uma-chan!" her husky teammate greeted loudly.
"Hey Akihi-hiko..." Uma muttered. She averted her eyes to her other male teammate who was leaning against a training pole, his eyes closed and his arms crossed.
"H-H-Hi Fu-Fugaku-kun..." Uma said to the Uchiha with a blush, her stuttering worsening as it always did around him. Fugaku opened his eyes, which were red now from his Sharingan.
"Good morning Uma," Fugaku replied. Uma blushed harder.
"OKAY! ENOUGH YAPPING!" their sensei yelled, who was for some reason standing on a training pole. She jumped down and looked at her students.
"Today we're going on a mission, so I hope you all prepared for the worst!"
"Don't tell me it's another stupid D-rank mission!" Akihiko whined.
"HELL NO! I-I mean, HECK NO!" Kushina corrected herself, trying to get over her small habit of cursing. "This mission's a B-rank!" Fugaku arched a brow at his sensei, Akihiko's eyes widening. Uma looked down worriedly. B-RANK?! We're not ready for something like THAT...we only graduated 2 months ago! Oh Kami...
"Finally we get an ACTUAL mission," Fugaku said quietly. Uma glanced at him. Kushina stared at him with a straight face.
"For once I agree with you Uchiha," Akihiko muttered.
"Our mission is to go to-Tsunade, what are you doing spying on my team?" Kushina said suddenly, her eyes looking to her far left. Tsunade jumped a little, amurging from her hiding spot from behind a tree.
"Sorry Kushina. I was just curious to see what this little girl here was in such a rush to!" Tsunade smiled. Uma blushed with embarrassment, looking away from Fugaku's stare.
"Hmph, yeah...Uma has a tendency to come to training late every so often," Kushina replied with a smile.
"Ku-Kushina-sensei!" Uma yelped.
"But it's true and you know it!" Kushina yelled back, sticking out her tongue. Uma relaxed her shoulders. Kushina-sensei can be so childish at times...
END OF FLASHBACK
Tsunade looked at Team 8. "I'll inform you of ANY information we find, okay? You're dismissed," Tsunade said, turning her chair to face the window behind her.
Hanabi smiled before turning to leave. Thank you Tsunade-sama...

Deidara stared at his feet as he sat on the side of his bed. He was bored. His next mission wasn't in...what, twenty days? He sighed, putting his head in his hands.
"So it's TRUE!!! Hahahaha!!! Oh...Oh...that's a fucking riot!" Deidara could still hear the idiot's words in his head...but he was right.
Deidara did, somehow, get a little interested in the Hyuuga.
He'd never admit it of course...he'd be killed by her herself...or probably her stuck up boyfriend first. Or then again, her "parents" could get to him before HE could...the point was, no one could know, so he kept it to himself.
Deidara got up out of bed and walked over to his mirror, looking himself over: A fringe over his left eye with long hair, and really low ponytail tied at the bottom of his hair. He made a face. A sudden thought arose in his mind: What could I do to attract Hinata...?
Okay now he was just asking for a punch in the face. But then again, he did want the Hyuuga to warm up to him...hopefully to start off as a friend. Deidara laughed under his breath. No one's your friend in Akatsuki...
Fine. Not a friend. An acquaintance.
He looked at himself harder in the mirror, trying to see what he could do. An idea finally sprung up in his head, which he immediately followed, grabbing a piece of cloth he found in his desk...
