Chapter 7
A/N: I updated. Yay! Actually, I had to, since Renalin updated Shadow Lands. Which you should totally read as well. It's awesome-ness beyond awesome-ness.
Disclaimer: I think you get the point by now. I doubt I'll ever get around to the blackmail, I have history class to worry about.
After arriving at the little green village, the team soon found out that rest and relaxation was out of the question. There was a little man who just would not let them into the village. "We cannot just let anyone into the Hidden Emerald of the Leaves," he began, "You have to be superior ninja. I'm talking superb ninja, where pretty much nothing can beat you."
The team was exhausted and this stupid man in front of the gates wasn't helping much. Even Kakashi looked like he was about to whoop this guy's ass. "Look Mister, we have been through so many frickin' annoying things since we got here, especially the whole 'Orochi-perv' episode. Just let us in!" Sakura go louder and louder with each word she spoke.
Now the little man looked interested. "What about Orochi-perv?" he asked.
Sakura sighed. "I killed him and got his secret scrolls. No big deal. Now, would you just-"
The man seemed to jump up and down enthusiastically. "Of-of course, you can come in! You killed Orochimaru!" He flung open the gates and let the the four of them and Pakkun walk right on in.
When they got in, they were in awe. So many colorful things grabbed their attention. Neon-colored kunai, ninja combat gear that changed colors, and so much else. After the crew got cleaned up a bit, (which included a very pissed off Sakura refusing to have her eyes dyed to match her "gown".) they went off, in search of the hokage.
"He'll probably be in the tallest tower, ne, Sakura-chan?" was Naruto's suggestion.
"We're not looking for a princess, dobe, we're looking for the hokage." Sasuke just had to get his two cents in.
"Sasuke-teme, that's not what I meant! Did you forget about Hokage Tower?!"
"Why don't we just ask someone?" Sakura asked, exasperated.
Everyone agreed on this, so they looked for a huge crowd of people. After all, someone would have to know where the hokage was in a great big bunch of people.
Unfortunately, no one got a chance to ask anyone anything. They were to absorbed in what was written in the sky. Apparently, Ino-pig had performed some jutsu that let her write things with the clouds. Across the sky were the words, "Surrender Your Scrolls Already, Forehead Girl!"
The crowd was wondering and gossiping about "Who on earth was this Forehead Girl?". Sakura moved forward to the front of the crowd, blushing a bit. She raised a hand for silence and the crowd, surprisingly, shushed themselves. "Citizens of the Hidden Emerald of the Leaves. I am Forehead Girl, also known as Sakura. Could someone help myself and my team get to the Hokage?"
Many people were offering directions, so eventually, Sakura, Kakashi, Sasuke, Pakkun, and Naruto were standing in front of the doors to the Hokage's room. "What do we do know?" Naruto asked.
"We visit the Hokage." Sakura said confidently, and opened the doors.
A/N: I guess it's sort of a cliff hanger, but not to worry, the next chapter will be up by tomorrow! Don't forget to Read and Review! Adieu!
