Less than three hours later a panicked Mei burst her way into the office "My grand-babies are missing I ca….oh Chojuro, never mind Tsunade I found them" Mei calmed down immediately upon sighting Chojuro with Ganko and Tsuyoi who she'd been searching for.
Since basically everyone in the village knew that children had been taken right from their very homes "He came here a while ago worried that they would be next, rest assured though that I have every available jonin out there looking for Karin, Yukimaru and Airi" Tsunade explained.
Just then the door swung open to admit Kakashi into the office, followed by Hisoi, Hosomi and Semaku attached to the back of a ninken Hageshi to be precise "Thank Kami what with Sasuke and Sakura-chan out there looking for them I was worried you'd be to" Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.
At the sight of Chojuro sitting on the couch, Ganko and Tsuyoi napping in his lap side by side "No, I promised Sak..Sakura-chan I wouldn't let anything happen to them and I had this feeling that if I'd stayed i..in the house they could have been next" Chojuro admitted.
Looking torn about the whole thing on one hand he wished he could be out there with her helping the search because Karin was his friend to and neither Airi or Yukimaru deserved the stress they were probably going through at that moment.
Then on the other hand he knew he needed to stay with the fraternal Haruno/Uchiha twins because he could protect them best Kakashi and Mei shared a look knowing how he felt and Mei went to open her mouth to offer to stay with the children.
When the door yet again swung open to admit the very person of Chojuro's thoughts no doubt anyway into the office "I have an idea, so long as Shino or even Shibi-sama is within the village we can find them" Sakura burst out emerald eyes wide and full of determination.
Chojuro immediately caught on "By having th..them kidnap you Sakura-chan what if wh..whoever did this is working for Orochimaru and they try to force another chi..child on you" the blue haired nineteen year old stood after setting the napping toddlers down to face his fiance.
Onyx eyes full of pain at even the very thought of her getting hurt again like four years ago "There's only one person who would be foolish enough to kidnap people in their own village" Itachi Uchiha walked through the door in the next moment.
Moeru the German Shephard on his heels and all eyes shot to him waiting "Well are you going to tell us Uchiha or hinder us" the blonde Hokage snapped impatiently earning a wince, she was well aware though that her almost granddaughter was trying to forgive him and apologized inwardly.
"Danzo Shimura, he has made repeated attempts before has he not, let's just say I know things, such as it being him who made the Uchiha feel isolated to the point where they wanted to rebel and earn a position as respectable shinobi in the village again even by force" the raven haired male admitted.
The reaction was immediate as all the air was sucked out of the room "And now my idea needs to be put into action especially if that b….if he's set his sights on my children" the pinkette piped in again eyes darkened to a forest green in her fury.
Itachi was surprised "Fine but don't forget to take the whistle Kiba gave you, we'll have Tsume-san and Kiba on standby with Shino and his father Shibi" the silver haired jonin grumbled just as opposed about this idea as Chojuro was.
But he knew there was no stopping her just as Chojuro did, who sat back down on the couch sporting a conflicted look "Promise me Sakura-chan, promise me you'll be safe" the auburn haired woman took her adopted daughter into her arms and squeezed.
Tears in her green eyes "Understood Mom and I will come back Dad, Chojuro we should talk, they'll be fine for a few minutes" tears sprung into her own jade eyes returning the bone crushing hug, before Sakura turned her attention on her fiance.
Who was much quieter than usual even as he carefully and lovingly placed Ganko and Tsuyoi on the couch to stand and follow Sakura out into the hall "Sakura-chan is..isn't there some other way" Chojuro asked looking on the verge of tears himself.
Sakura blew out a breath "Wish there was but if it is Danzo then this is the only way, I love you Chojuro, I do, but you can't stop me, that's Karin-chan and Airi and Yukimaru-kun, I can't let anything happen to them even if that means putting myself in danger" the pinkette stated firmly.
Chojuro sighed a long suffering sigh "Fo..For just this once I..I wish I could argue with you Sakura-chan g..go do what needs to be do..done" the blue haired nineteen year old let out a self depreciating laugh pressed a kiss to her lips and then nudged her off.
Before returning to the office then nodding at Tsunade when she shifted her honey eyes onto him "Right Kakashi go get Tsume and her son, Uchiha your not gonna stand around in my office either, so go get Shibi and his son, you have your orders now complete them" Tsunade barked.
The two males quickly cleared out not daring to argue at such a critical time "I'll go get an early dinner for the kids" the current Mizukage piped in vanishing just as quickly, but leaving her children behind to ensure that nothing would happen to them either.
Considering that any of her children could have her bloodline limit abilities which would make them targets as well, Chojuro sighed hoping that this ended soon and that it was a peaceful ending so that no one got hurt.
Meanwhile Sakura had returned to her house, completely empty since all of her ninken were out searching the city and Moyasu and Yuki had been left in the Inuzuka Vet Clinics care, one of the first things she'd done was go to the Inuzuka's.
And sat down in her nook after retrieving the whistle she'd received as a baby shower gift to eat her extremely cold food so that she didn't fight on an empty stomach, if she let herself be taken without a fight it would be suspicious and they probably wouldn't take her.
It was less than fifteen minutes later after clearing her plate and starting on the dishes, seemed she'd always be a neat freak even during times of crisis, when the air shifted behind her and hands grabbed her around the waist.
She reacted on instinct and swung out a fist landing a solid chakra free punch on her kidnapper, he reeled back in surprise "Fuck Sakura-san what did you hit me for" only to turn out not to be a kidnapper but Mangetsu Hozuki.
"You shouldn't grab someone around the waist or sneak up on them like that Mangetsu-san kami what the hell are you doing here" Sakura growled swinging around to face the man who'd nearly scared the living daylights out of her.
Mangetsu grimaced sheepishly "Suigetsu's gone, can't find him anywhere was hoping you'd seen him" the white haired male frowned spreading out his senses but not locating his brothers chakra anywhere in the village.
Sakura let out a long suffering sigh "Not another one, I swear to kami Mangetsu-san I'll bring him back, but right now not only is it just him, but Yukimaru, Karin and Airi that are missing as well, go out and wait, and whatever you do don't come in here no matter what you hear" the pinkette ordered.
He wanted to argue but after seeing that determination and the fury blazing away in her eyes the revived Hozuki quickly scrambled out of the house shutting the door behind him firmly, less than five minutes he heard a commotion and the sound of something breaking.
But as much as he wanted to go back in and help out Mangetsu stayed firmly rooted to his spot in front of the door until the sounds stopped, only then did he deign to peek and found the house empty, backdoor blown off it's hinges and droplets of blood scattered on the floor.
Feeling pathetic because he didn't know what was going on he hurried down the streets to the Hokage Tower "Sakura's just been taken, I was there I could have helped her fight them off, but she told me not to interfere" Mangetsu threw himself carefully down in the sole chair in the office.
"We're well aware of this Hozuki that was the plan, am I assuming correctly that Suigetsu is also missing again" Tsunade leveled a look at the man that had invaded her office without even knocking, she supposed since the situation was so dire she could let it slide.
Her question earned a nod "Right until she blows the whistle we can't track her, however if she's wearing the scent bag on her wrist then Shino is your best bet right now, though is it any good since it's been so long" Kiba turned his attention on his teammate.
Who smirked creepily "Just a few days ago I renewed the scent bag so it should be stronger and easier to track" Shino admitted glad that he'd had the forethought to do so and that he'd met her down in the market that day otherwise all they'd have to rely on was the whistle.
"Incredible that girl I wouldn't have the guts to let myself be taken, considering her last kidnapping experience wasn't something she should have ever had to go through" Tsume made a jab at the Uchiha standing in the office.
To her frustration he merely winced "Enough tormenting Itachi isn't going to bring them back or erase the past, what we can do however is forgive and Sakura-chan's been trying to do that since they got back from their mission to rescue Yukimaru-san and Suigetsu-san" Kakashi cut in.
Not wanting a fight to break out in the office not when tensions were running high obviously "Indeed and right now what Haruno-san and those that have been taken need is for us to concentrate our efforts on finding them" Shibi stated.
Daring anyone to argue after his statement, thankfully the rest of the office fell quiet and the window was opened, then he nodded to his son, who sent out a swarm of kikaichu on the search for the once again missing pinkette.
The tension was steadily rising in the office when suddenly Tsume and Kiba snapped to attention and then they literally flew out the window "I'm going after them" Chojuro was on his feet in the next moment knowing that Ganko and Tsuyoi would be safe and was gone in the next moment.
Mei was shocked because she'd never seen her subordinate who was soon going to become family go that fast before "Kakashi go after them as well" Mei ordered her husband, Kakashi didn't argue and vanished out the window as well.
~An hour beforehand~
It hadn't been more than five minutes after Mangetsu had left that she was once again jumped from behind and this time Sakura knew it was a kidnapper as a syringe was emptied into her veins before she could really comprehend what was going on.
Didn't mean she couldn't get in a few punches or kicks as she swung around and raised her foot stomping it on the man's foot who was trying to kidnap her, then swept him off his feet with a roundhouse kick at the back of his knee's.
He hit the floor with a loud crashing thud, she went down with him as well because he grabbed her leg and jerked her right off her feet, her head slammed into the counter on the way down and she could feel blood dripping down her forehead.
They were both on their feet in the next moment and settling into loose fighting stances opposite each other "Give it up girl, you should start feeling the effects of that tranquilizer here within the next few seconds" her kidnapper ordered.
Even as her head swam she didn't relent and landed a few more good hits before a hand was slammed down on the back of her neck "Just you w..wait bastards you won't get away with this" Sakura threw out a couple of death threats before falling unconscious.
Where she was picked up and thrown harshly over a shoulder, the next bit was a blur as she felt herself be carried even while being unconscious and a door being blown off it's hinges registered itself in her ears before she was being thrown roughly to the floor.
Of a cave "Pretty Onee-chan" Yukimaru noticed and recognized the girl they'd brought to the cave almost immediately and scrambled towards the pinkette trying to shake her awake "What did you do to her" the pale green haired seven year old cried.
Tears in his magenta irises, he didn't earn an answer for his question only a cruel laugh before the cell door was slammed shut "Don't worry Yukimaru, they'll be alright, we gotta be strong" Suigetsu came forward little Airi in his arms.
Karin was in the same boat as Sakura, both teenage mothers unconscious due to whatever had been given to them, while they as the males were left awake "Isn't that right Airi, your mother is strong" the white haired teenager grimaced.
Looking the two girls over carefully before settling at their side and glaring out into the expanse of the darkness through the cell bars that held them captive, he couldn't use his special ability because of some seal so unless a plan had been put in place the five of them were screwed.
It was fifteen minutes after being kidnapped that Sakura regained consciousness "Oh Pretty Onee-chan your okay, your okay" only to have a little boy throw himself into her arms just as her head jerked to the side to deposit what she'd eaten on the ground.
"S..Sorry Yukimaru-kun but I don't think I'm quite alright just yet, whatever was in that syringe was nasty stuff and I can only thank the kami that Tsunade-shishou had me build up an immunity to most drugs, that's why I'm awake and not Karin" Sakura wiped her mouth.
With a grimace "They underestimated you and I get the feeling that you let yourself be captured on purpose" Suigetsu accused quietly not wanting to set off the little girl currently cradled with in his arms, after the last bout of crying.
And the yells that had followed to shut the irritating little brat up he'd done all he could think of to keep the little girl asleep and not awake "Exactly, though getting drugged wasn't part of my plan, however they are underestimating me cause there's a plan in place" the pinkette smirked.
"R..Really pretty onee-chan does that mean we'll get to go home soon Karin-nee and Airi-chan to" Yukimaru peered up at the teenage girl he adored and wished was really his sister with wide and hopeful magenta eyes.
She nodded and then raised a glowing green hand to her forehead to heal the cut, then used her chakra to purge herself of the rest of the drug that was in her system before turning to Karin and doing the same.
Less than five minutes was all it took before the young teenage mother was awake and puking her guts up like she had "Ugh I feel like crap wh..what happened where's Airi" Karin panicked jumping to her feet only to slid back down onto her bottom as her vision swam and head pounded.
"Airi's here Karin, let Sakura heal your headache first and get rid of the rest of the drug in your system before I hand her over cause you don't want to drop her do you" Suigetsu spoke up from the right of her drawing her attention onto him.
Then movement out of her peripheral on her left drew her attention to Yukimaru and her best friend "R..Right go ahead Sakura-chan" the red head held still as a glowing green hand was pressed to her forehead and immediately her vision cleared and the pounding went away.
Before the glowing green hand moved down to get rid of the rest of the drug, only then was Airi placed in her arms and the tears start coming "This is Orochimaru's doing isn't it" the crimson haired girl couldn't help but cry.
"No Karin this is Danzo's doing and don't repeat this ever Yukimaru-kun but he's a right bastard and when I see him I'm going to deck him in the face consequences be damned" Sakura growled furiously so done.
Even Yukimaru leaned away from her at that because he'd never seen Sakura get so angry before or threaten someone except for Kabuto who deserved it with bodily harm "You said you had a plan what is it pretty Onee-chan" the pale green haired boy gulped lightly.
Huddling into her side in the next moment "We have to wait shouldn't be to much longer until they find us" the pinkette assured wrapping her arm around the seven year old and the red head when she scooted over to sit next to her as well.
Leaving Suigetsu to ask "How are they gonna find us, when A.) they've got our scents blocked, B.) this area is cloaked in a genjutsu and C.) no doubt they also have our chakra blocked on the outside" the white haired teen ticked off his fingers with a scowl.
Some people made absolutely no sense and he worried about her sanity when she held up her wrist showing off the bracelet before pulling a whistle out from beneath her shirt collar "The whistle Kiba gave you and the female kikaichu scent bag Shino gave you" Karin knew though and that's all that mattered.
As the five of them settled in for a quiet wait every once in a while a shadow would pass by the door that held them captive signaling that someone was patrolling, then she saw them, the tiny insects, kikaichu to be exact flying through the bars on the door.
"Okay Shino's kikaichu have found us, thank kami he renewed this a few days ago" Sakura hummed softly pulling out a blank scroll, a jar of honey and a clean ink brush, then wrote out a message on the scroll.
The Kikaichu swarmed it forming the message out before dispersing from the cave, next came the whistle "Wait what if it's really loud" Suigetsu stopped her in the next second as she lifted the whistle to her lips and prepared to blow on it.
"Idiot and never repeat that either Yukimaru, that's a dog whistle specific to the ninken of the Inuzuka Clan, only ninken and their partners can hear it" Karin announced having questioned her friend on it when she'd found it in a box when they'd lived in the apartments still.
Suigetsu deflated at that "Go ahead pretty onee-chan" Yukimaru urged wanting to go home and forget this horrible incident ever happened in the first place, Sakura smiled, took a deep breath then let loose utter silence and so they settled in for another wait hoping the whistle had worked.
Meanwhile across the village in the Hokage Tower the kikaichu had made their return to their hosts "What's the message" Shino waited patiently for his insects to deliver their message, having told Sakura what they liked a long time ago and glad she still remembered.
Especially when they almost immediately formed the message "Trapped in a cave with cell door, area covered in genjutsu, scents blocked from the outside, not the bag though and most likely our chakra is being blocked with a tag" a long detailed message but it was enough.
"And now we wait until Tsume-san and Kiba return and deliver us whoever was the culprit that foolishly decided to kidnap children" Shibi took a step back being careful, then turned his head in the direction of the couch.
Where Ganko and Tsuyoi were just now waking up only to let out distressed cries "Mama, Dada" they cried in sync not seeing their parents anywhere, Itachi who was nearby had no idea what to do when tears started streaming down their cheeks.
"Oh honestly Itachi-san their not going to eat you" Mei snorted gliding forward gracefully and hefting the two toddlers into her arms to start soothing them "There, there your Mommy and Daddy will be back soon I promise" the auburn haired woman hummed softly.
Bouncing the two toddlers gently until they calmed down enough to be sat back down on the couch, then she placed her own little toddlers down on the couch as well where they all hugged and made for one adorable scene.
Which was ruined by Tsunade snapping a photo like they were all prone to doing where the toddlers were concerned "How on earth did you raise four toddlers together" Itachi was obviously confused as he eyed the toddlers dubiously.
Tsunade snorted lightly in response "Sakura actually she studied extensively in order to care for those two and raised them to be well behaved mischief makers" Tsunade shook her head lifting Ganko when the little boy appeared at her side.
Itachi blinked and shot a glance to the couch, indeed the boy was missing "How on earth did he get way over there so quickly without any of us noticing" the raven haired male questioned lost on what even happened.
"It's a talent of theirs to disappear quickly" the honey eyed blonde stated simply holding the little dark blonde dark emerald eyed boy close knowing that soon she would have to go five months without seeing the little brat.
Just then the door swung open to admit Shikaku, Inoichi and Shisui into the office "We caught Danzo trying to flee out an unused exit of the village" Shisui explained glaring at the elder as he was walked in bound head to toe in the shadow possession jutsu courtesy of Shikaku.
"Quite and we're well aware of the situation so we decided to bring him directly to you, unless you want us to take him to Ibiki and have his chakra blocked then be thrown in a jail cell" Inoichi as kind as he was, was also glaring at the elder.
Remembering everything the man had tried to do to his daughter's best friend "Have him thrown in the cells at T&I for questioning, oh and Danzo, if my apprentice is even a tiny bit hurt you'll pay" the honey eyed woman glowered.
"Got it Hokage-sama come on Danzo it's time to face up for your crimes against the village" Shikaku led the elder away followed by Inoichi on his heels before the door shut leaving Shisui in the office with the others.
~Meanwhile~
"Kami how long does it take for someone to come rescue us, I think that whistle was a dud" Suigetsu sulked crossing his arms but not daring to complain much louder than a whisper because he certainly didn't want to get overheard or get them in trouble.
The girl he was complaining to shot him a glare "It works Suigetsu-san I assure you because Tsume-sama had me test it out a long time ago to ensure it does" Sakura stated simply in a warning tone daring the teenage boy to complain one more time.
Or they'd be dragging him out of there unconscious via her fist "Your scary pretty Onee-chan" Yukimaru huddled even more into Sakura's side looking cold and soon he was being squished between her and Karin to warm up and Sakura shot an apologetic look at her friend.
Who understood since Airi was practically in the same boat "Either w..way I hope they come soon ca..cause Airi-chan could get sick so could Yukimaru" Karin shivered and Suigetsu sighed before squishing himself at her side to help keep her warm as well.
Karin immediately relaxed and reminded herself that they had to be strong and that they had to have hope that someone was coming to rescue them "How can you be so calm anyway Sakura" the white haired teenage boy questioned quietly.
"Because this isn't my first stint being kidnapped, the most important thing is to not give up hope or give your captors the satisfaction of seeing you break" the pinkette announced emerald eyes locked on the cell door and burning brightly with her strength.
She had to get through this not just for her, but for those in the cave with her, her adoptive family, her children and Chojuro who were all depending on her to come back safe just as she promised what felt like hours ago to Mei.
"Kisame-san and Itachi-san right at least we're not being you know cause I don't think I could do it" the red head shuddered huddling even more into Suigetsu's side, she didn't feel anything for the guy sure but they had to stick together.
Especially when a commotion started up in the hallway, Yukimaru let out a whimper and clutched onto his savior even more tighter than before "I'm scared" the pale green haired seven year old boy cried quietly only to be shushed gently.
Just as the cell door burst open, practically flew off it's hinges "Sakura-chan" Chojuro shouted running full speed ahead and straight for her, who despite being a little cold was just fine and he couldn't help himself as he dipped his head and crushed his lips to her own.
The others even the little boy in their midst turned away at the sudden lip-lock "Ahem if you don't mind couldn't that wait" Tsume cleared her throat feeling a little guilty of course the guy was going to worry but they had to get back to the Hokage Tower.
"Hey Sakura-chan, Karin-chan, Suigetsu, Yukimaru-kun" Kakashi waved from behind the Inuzuka Matriarch glad to see the kidnapped teenagers and child alright even Airi looked okay for the most part if not a little cold.
"Right we should go it's freezing in here and that can't be good for them" Kiba led Karin who was holding Airi and Yukimaru out first knowing that the younger ones needed warmth after sitting in a cave for the better part of the day.
Tsume was out next Suigetsu on her heels followed by Kakashi leaving Chojuro and Sakura alone "Honestly Chojuro you could trust me a little more" Sakura couldn't help but tease her fiance as they exited the cave cell following after the others
Chojuro flushed a brilliant red in response "I have plenty of trust and f..faith in you Sakura-chan, but those guys however I didn't trust not to touch you if you were vulnerable" the blue haired nineteen year old huffed lightly not angry just embarrassed.
He knew he'd overreacted a little bit which would be grounds for some teasing later probably from Anko or even Kurenai, that woman had a sense of humor and could embarrass someone real easy especially if Anko was with her, together those two were like demons in disguise.
Being pregnant really brought out their playful sides it seemed "Don't think you have to worry Chojuro, she wasn't out for very long and I think that if anyone had tried to come in and do anything to any of us she would have decked them in the face" the white haired teen shuddered.
Karin nodded sagely in agreement "Yeah pretty sure if you had kept complaining she would have hit you to Suigetsu" the red head grimaced, that wouldn't have been very pretty, Sakura's temper had been massively shortened during their time in the cave.
She'd known that when she'd been taken that Sakura would come and rescue her, she'd just known it, even Yukimaru nodded "Pretty Onee-chan can be really scary" the pale green haired boy attached himself to the teenage girl despite his words.
Causing the girl to smile "Of course because kidnapping children is unacceptable and I refuse to let it happen ever again especially to people that I care about" the pinkette stated patting the boy on the head as they finally reached the Hokage Tower and began climbing the stairs.
And a few minutes later they were all gathering in the Hokage's Office, before anyone could speak the fuscia haired teen made a straight beeline to her children, who's dark blue and dark emerald eyes brightened at the sight of her.
"Kaa-san, Kaa-san, Kaa-san" Ganko and Tsuyoi chanted tears already dribbling down their chubby cheeks and lips wobbling as they held up their arms in a silent demand to be held, she didn't make them wait and hefted both toddlers into her arms crushing them gently to her chest.
Because she'd thought that she might never get to see them again regardless of a plan being in place anything that could go wrong would go wrong was the saying and she'd feared that her plan wouldn't work and that something would have happened to the lot of them.
Chojuro joined them in the next moment wrapping his arms around both Ganko and Tsuyoi and pulling Sakura into his chest, never again would he let her do anything on her own, next time if there was a situation he'd be there with her.
Itachi stood back watching them and finally realized what everyone else saw in the girl "You okay Sakura-chan, Karin-chan, they didn't hurt either of you girls did they" Shisui being all concerned was the icing on the cake.
Just as the door flew open to admit Sasuke into the office, he'd been completely left out of the loop and upon feeling Karin's chakra had run all the way there "Karin are you alright what about Airi" Sasuke panted completely out of breath.
Earning amused smiles as Karin walked towards her crush to allow him to see her daughter and that they were both alright, Sasuke almost slid to his knee's in relief "Thank kami, thank kami" he didn't want to lose anyone else that he cared about after all.
And perhaps it was time to reveal his feelings so without waiting for a dismissal, he wrapped his arm around Karin's waist and they vanished from the office "Uchiha's, anyway there will be a public execution for Danzo since he was the culprit, everyone but Sakura out" Tsunade ordered.
"Go on Chojuro and Itachi-san if you'd wait with him, there's two more people you have to apologize to before I explain what's going to happen within the next several days" Sakura waved them off with a smile.
Itachi was confused but it seemed Chojuro knew what was going on and who he had to apologize to "Don't worry Itachi-san apologizing to these particular people wo..won't result in anymore bruises" Chojuro coughed eyeing the bruise on the man's face.
"Do you know what's going to happen within the next several days though" Itachi prodded as they exited the office first, but Chojuro remained tight-lipped about everything as they headed down the hall and then down the stairs to wait outside.
Next to exit the office were the Hozuki brothers "God do you have any idea how worried I was and then I accidentally scared Sakura-san and she punched me" Mangetsu was scolding his brother something fierce.
"Relax Ni-san and I'm sure she'll apologize more properly later and even heal the bruise for you" Suigetsu snorted just glad to hear his brother's voice again because for a short time he'd thought the worst despite the repeated assurances.
After them were the Hatake's "We'll see you at home Sakura-chan" Kakashi waved taking his daughter into his arms "Oh and we'll also if we see them along the way to tell the Chaos Squad they can stop searching" he chuckled.
His wife shook his head "Or we could have Shisui-san go around telling them for us since the kids are hungry, come on Yukimaru we'll take you home" Mei shot a look at the Uchiha, who no doubt needed to tell others that the entire situation had been dealt with and the missing had been found.
Shisui nodded and body flickered off to share the news "Later Sakura-chan and if you could come by soon I think Mito-chan might be pregnant, she's been all moody and stuff" Hashirama was the next to vanish after delivering the news.
Causing his granddaughter and brother to roll their eyes in response to the remaining shinobi's amusement "Guess I'll let the other jonin know that they can stop searching" Sakumo hurried out the door unlike some others.
Tsume, Kiba, Shibi and Shino merely nodded their heads and left "Right we'll talk later" Tobirama nodded his head as well then exited the office and shut the door behind him, leaving his great niece and future great, great niece alone with each other.
"Is this about Danzo" Sakura immediately felt a sound proofing and barrier tag activate in the office to prevent anyone from over hearing or entering the office without permission like they'd been doing all day.
Tsunade nodded "Like I said there will be a public execution and I want you to be there, considering he's the one who had you and those others kidnapped, also anyone who wants to get a hit in on him will have their chance at the execution" the blonde explained.
Sakura curled her lip "Gladly Shishou, I've been itching to punch him for what feels like forever was that all" the pinkette inquired itching to get back to her children and wrap up the whole forgiving Itachi deal and then go to bed cause she was exhausted.
At her question her Shishou nodded and she hurried out the office door once the tags were taken down "Who is it I have to apologize to" Itachi questioned when the pink haired teenage girl appeared at the bottom of the steps.
Before answering she took Tsuyoi into her arms and cuddled the girl close to her heart looking as if the weight of the world was lifted off her shoulders "Come with me" Sakura turned on her heel and led the way to the cemetery.
It dawned on him just before they stopped in front of two graves on the tombstones were in loving memory of Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno "They died on a mission to Mist, a grass shinobi killed them, S..Sakura-chan nearly lost Ganko and Tsuyoi that day" Chojuro explained.
Remembering vividly how Sakura had passed out and hemorrhaged, then she nearly tried to rid herself of the babies and how they'd spent two days in the hospital before she'd finally displayed an interest in going outside and seeing a cherry blossom tree.
Every thing they'd went through was brought to the forefront of his mind as Itachi knelt and bowed his head in respect "If only I could apologize to you both in person, neither of you know how much I truly regret what I did" the raven haired male finished outwardly.
Wanting the girl and her fiance to hear him say the words verbally as he rose to face them once again waiting for what else she wanted to tell him, "Go ahead Sakura-chan" the blue haired nineteen year old urged gently with a smile.
Glad that this was nearly done and then the past would truly be in the past to never be brought up again "Been peeking at your medical files in recent months and I think with Shizune-sempai's help we can burn your illness out of your body on a molecular level with chakra" the pinkette stated.
And for the first time a truly astonished expression appeared on the Uchiha's face as he realized that, that was her way of forgiving him by giving him another chance to start over and redo things as they should have been done in the first place.
"Thank you Sakura-san, truly thank you, I'm glad Sasuke-otouto has a friend like you" Itachi bowed his head again feeling as if all his sins were being washed away and his soul healed itself of all the cracks that had been made over the years he'd played the part of criminal.
Her eyes softened "Was that all Sakura-chan o..or was there something else" Chojuro questioned hearing the rumbling of Ganko and Tsuyoi's stomachs of course they'd be hungry and tired so even though it was still kind of early they'd probably be going to bed soon.
"Just show up at the hospital in two days 8 sharp Itachi-san and then we'll get started on healing you that's all" Sakura announced before the three of them split up heading home, dinner was made and then soon after they went to bed exhausted from the long day.
