"Where do you have to go Sasuke?" Itachi asked as he leaned on the door frame watching his little brother. "Konoha's your only real home, why can't you stay here?"
"It's none of your concern, Itachi. I'm grown; I can take care of myself. Anyway, I'll be back as always." Sasuke said. He picked up his helmet from the table and looked over at him. "I'm just going to check on the outer reaches of the country and secure some things that may be shaky. Tell Mokuza I'll see him in a few days."
"Why don't you go wake him up and tell him, tell him that you're leaving again because something about being home and having a family bothers you." Itachi said quickly. Sasuke stopped, "you're easier to read then you think. Doesn't it matter to you that you have no stability in you're life?"
"No," Sasuke said beginning to walk out but that stopped. "I'm surprised you started a family, considering you killed your last one." Sasuke jabbed quickly and slammed the door behind himself. He looked over at his motor cycle to see Suigetsu kicking it. "What are you doing…?"
"Checking tire pressure, I've decided to take you up on your offer to come with you, haven't had a good battle in a while, plus look, now I've got four of the seven swords, and I have to check them out in combat." He said quickly. "One question, this bikes not big enough for both of us is it?"
"We're going on foot after I put my toys away. We got an early report from Nagito; two of the tailed beasts have started in this direction." Sasuke said moving the bike into the alley and into the shed behind Itachi's house. "It seems the two tails and the three tails are coming. Neither are really that destructive on their own, but together, they may do a bit of damage."
"Oh, fun." Suigetsu said and they began out of the newly redone Uchiha district and out to the front gate. "So, who knows were going?"
"No one, it'll be too much for anyone here to handle right now." Sasuke said and they rushed out and leapt into the trees.
"Can't we just plan it later, Tsunade? This isn't really what I want to be doing." Sakura said quietly as she, Shizune and Kiki sat around Tsunade in her office. "Shouldn't we got out and be making memories?"
"I won't have anything to remember soon enough, anyway, it'll be best to get it out of the way. Shizune, you've gotten a hold of Ino's flower shop about the arrangements?" Tsunade asked commandingly.
"Yes, she'll be able to do them the morning of, she's stop the selling of white roses so she can make them on a minute's notice. She did want to know if you wanted any color put in anywhere, she said she always thinks of a soft pink for you."
"That'd be nice. Tell her to be as creative as she wants." Tsunade turned her head to Sakura, "what else do we have?"
"Arrangements for the standing, who's going to be in the front row?" Meekly she looked up, "although I really don't need to ask, do I?"
"You, Naruto and Shizune, small front row, but that's all I would really want there. Oh, and I'd like to be cremated."
"I'll call and tell the funeral home, later." Shizune said making a note.
"Who's going to speak?" Tsunade looked right back at her and smiled. "Alright, and who's going to put the Urn in the Hokage's tomb since you still haven't chosen your replacement?"
"Naruto will." Tsunade said and then looked over at Shizune. "Shizune… I think…" Tsunade said collapsing. Shizune and Sakura got up.
Shizune sighed, "Still alive, we need to get her to the hospital."
"I got her." Sakura said quickly and picked her up to jump out the window. She vaulted across buildings and landed at the emergency room and broke one of the doors. Bringing her inside Sakura laid her down on a gurney and called over a doctor and nurse. "She passed out. We need to get her in bed quickly."
"This way, we set one aside for her." The doctor said and led her down the hall. Sakura pushed Tsunade in the room and moved her over to the bed and removed her jacket. "Usually we'd ask you to leave but I don't think contamination really matters now."
"No, it'd probably take her slower… Tsunade." Sakura said as she saw the eyes open.
"I'm not dead yet… Stop looking so pathetic. Sakura," Tsunade said and pointed to her jacket. "The jacket's yours because I know you're as just as bad of a gambler as I am. But in the front right pocket, there a key to the left top draw of the Hokage's desk, go and bring me the scroll inside of it, and don't look at it."
"Yes mam." Sakura said running out of the room and back out of the broken door.
