"Are you sure we should let him out?" Jiraiya inquisitively poses to his boss upon her arrival inside of her office.
An "ugh" was escaping Tsunade's mouth before leisurely rounding her desk and lazily plopping down in her office chair.
"He punched a woman!" She simply commented while she irritably shifted the paper that messily covered her desk over to one side.
"He's an officer of the law." He purposely mentions after he leisurely rests his bottom in one of the available chairs.
The blonde merely lifts an eyebrow at the statement before she wonders, "Are you condoning his actions?"
"He hasn't been Mirandize." Jiraiya dutifully reminded her of the standard proper human rights that was awarded through due process.
"We didn't technically arrest him." She clarifies prior to her explanation, "We simply detained an officer, who suffered a hallucination at the sight of a familiar face from his traumatic past."
"Is that how you're going to go about it? What if he wants to sue us?" The silver haired male curiously probed while he leaned backwards in the chair.
"I'm not in the least bit concerned about that. His psychological exam score...barely qualifies him for his job." Tsunade confidently asserts while she separates the important papers from the junk.
"So what you're saying is that we have this potentially loose cannon toting a gun around and is the protector of Justice?" The male was surmising about her thought process on Neji.
"He's going to be tasked with certain community services that will promote rehabilitation. For instance…" She asserts while she reads her calendar to disclose, "Today, we have our Stranger Danger Safety Program at…Hidden Leaf Elementary."
"You do know that a Senior Officer has to oversee that right?"
A devious smirk stretches across her face after automatically conjuring up the image of the particular Senior Officer she was planning to send.
"I know the perfect person for the job." Tsunade happily chirpped with a smile on her face.
At the same time…
'I wonder what time it is?' A figure in a dark room was wearily pondering to himself. He casts his sights over to his left and then to the right.
The young man was repetitively rolling his fingers in to the palm of his hand when privately contemplating, 'I'm not sorry for my actions! I would have done it again.'
'They don't know that that very same heathen stained the Hyuga's clan reputation.' The man angrily recalled the unfortunate events that followed once that girl ran away from the compound.
He tightens his fist again before it starts to shake from anger until he overhears some noise on the outside, which could only mean, 'They are about to let me out.'

Hinata was thoroughly searching for the bowls and was surprise to find a full dishware set in the cabinets of the apartment.
'They really did think of everything.' She shockingly considered. The young woman then withdraws two soup bowls and two rice bowls from the upper cabinets to her right.
Hinata carefully scoops up the hot liquid and pours in to the respective bowl before she moves over to the pot of rice.
'I wish there was a rice cooker.' She privately thought as she cutted down the heat underneath the rice so it would not stick to the pot.
The indigo haired woman was gracefully balancing the bowls on her body before quickly placing the hot bowls down first and then the rice.
Naruto deeply inhaled the wonderful aroma as his stomach growled in anticipation to dig in to the food.
"This is...wonderful!" He happily exclaims.
His ravenous nature was abruptly exposing himself to his guest, who was merely watching him in silence and awe.
The sound of laughter captured his attention since it reminded him that he is currently in front of a guest. 'She's probably thinking that I don't have any manners.'
"Uhm…sorry about that." The young man honestly apologizes while he cuts his eyes away from the indigo haired beauty.
"It's fine. It just means that you really like my cooking so I don't mind at all." She was assuring him with what was appearing to be a genuine smile on her face.
His cheeks burned from embarrassment at what she just said to him. 'I wonder if she really meant that?'
The pair quietly delighted in the breakfast that Hinata cooked for them with little to no conversation between the two of them.
'I wonder what he/she is thinking?' The two simultaneously think about the person across the table from them.

Sakura tightly squeezed in the middle of the densely packed subway and desperately searched for a free strap to secture with her clutches.
She then peeked down at her phone's screen to see if her mom was still on the phone but it was far too crowded to even check.
'I guess she hung up.' The rosy pink haired woman inwardly assumes.
She was feeling the subway riders roughly pushing up against each other in order to fit as many people in as possible.
"Hey! Stop pushing will you!" "There's enough room for everybody!" "What's the next stop?" "You all are too loud this morning!"
She merely grumbled at her luck on an important day such as this and prayed for a better outcome.
'At least it isn't exactly like what Hinata is going through right now.' Sakura mentally considers before her sights divert to the floor once she thinks about her indigo haired companion.
Her mind recalled the incident from yesterday that would ultimately terminate their employment at the Dollhouse.
'…to think that we were falsely accused by the police of being prostitutes that supposedly pushed drugs on our clients.'
'I guess that would explain why Hinata was so pale whenever I asked her if she was alright. She's probably seen firsthand what really goes on after hours in the Dollhouse.'
'She's always been the one to reassure everyone else whenever we would have a bad day so what are we going to do now that she is gone?'
Sakura was casting her sights over toward the window and watching from the train Konohagakure scenery passing by.
'I pray that she has the strength to endure whatever is that may come in her future.'
"Next stop is University of Konohagakure" The train conductor broadcasts the next station, which captures her ears.
'This is my stop.'
"Excuse me, this is my stop!" Sakura politely reveals while she frantically pushes herself towards the front.
'Freedom!' She happily yelled to herself after she launched toward the doors right before it slid open to her destination.
Sakura was unexpectedly colliding in to something yet she was remaining on her feet, 'Hm, that's strange.'
"Uhm, excuse me," A voice speaks up.

"Quit looking around you stupid woman!" He was gripping at her while sliding his hands inside of his pants pocket and following behind a waiter.
Karin snapped out of her curiosity since this location was highly unusual for someone of Suigetsu's nature, due to the fact that people were so well dressed.
"Are you going to sit down or what?" The young man irritably questions as he politely holds the chair out for her to sit down.
She slightly hesitated to have a seat but eventually conceded to the offer and leisurely plopped down in the chair.
"Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?" Karin was inquisitively needling.
She then casually popped the menu open and deliberately read what is offered at the restaurant.
Suigetsu rolls his eyes, clicks a "tsk" from his mouth and lips, "I like it better when you are moaning instead of yammering like you usually do."
A feverish blush was materializing across her cheeks before closely moving her face to the plastic. She was awkwardly stammering, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"I'm sure you know the saying "What you see is what you get", right Rose?" He asserts as he purposely addresses her by her business moniker.
"Don't call me that name!" The red head angrily countered once she heard her stage name uttered from his lips.
"Why can't I? After all, the very powerful and influential Lord Orochimaru bestowed that name upon you." The male deliberately was challenging her opinion about their boss.
"What's your problem fish face?!"
"My problem is that you allowed the most notorious Drug Lord to easily influence you to become his little bitch because of some damn powder." He provided an answer to her question before he included, "You need to wake the hell up and realize that he is using you as a guinea pig! His newest creation will only lead to your death!"
"I don't believe what either one of you say anymore!" She was openly admitting with a straight face.
"What?!" Suigetsu rudely exasperated after he heard what she just said.
"I've always been lied to ever since I was born into this stupid world. The only person that I have the total utmost complete faith in...is me." The young woman honestly expresses her opinion about the both of them.
"What about the other Dolls? Did you ever place your trust in them?" He solemnly posed to his companion.

She hears a familiar masculine voice cordially greets her "Good afternoon, Miss Yamanaka," from behind as she stands to her feet to greet her guest.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Inuzaka." Ino was politely reciprocating the greeting. The platinum blonde was casually leaning in for a hug, which he was kindly returning.
"You look beautiful." Kiba genuinely complimented her after they separated away from each other with visible smiles on their face.
A "thank you" and a small blush emits from her as she returns her bottom on to the surface of the chair.
"I see that you're doing quite well, especially after such a rough day you ladies had yesterday." He was breaking the silence before settling down in the seat across from her.
Ino nervously tucks a stray strand of her platinum blonde locks back in to her high bun and discloses, "I would be lying if I didn't admit that it was a traumatizing event."
"I honestly felt as if I were to have committed such lewd acts then I wouldn't be able to appreciate the freedom that I have now." She expressed her "what if" portion of her thoughts to him.
"You do have a point there." He consented before he mentioned, "All I can say is that at least you weren't by yourself like most people are...but enough of that nonsense!"
"What has Queen Ino been doing these past couple of years after high school?" The handsome male was promptly changing the topic of their conversation.
"Besides being a dancer at the Dollhouse, nothing really quite amazing." She flatly disclosed to him.
"So that glowing rock on your finger isn't definitely screaming you're someone's fiancée?" The officer abruptly announced.
The brunette then leisurely rests his jaw against the palm of his hands while her eyes swiftly grow wide at the revelation.
"I'm a cop, remember. It's my job to be observant." Kiba reminded her about his line of profession along with a mischievous smirk across his face.
"I thought you were more suited to follow the family business and take over the veterinary clinic." She amusingly revels since she recalls that his family trains Veterinarians and owns successful practices of their own.
It was his turn to tease her, "The same could be said about you too, Ms. Flower Shop."
"Remind me not to tell you any of my embarrassing secrets…you have the memory of an elephant."
A comfortable silence was settling among the pair, which was prompting Ino to confess, "I really missed your humor, Inuzaka."
"I bet not as much as I miss your snarky Miss Beauty Pageant attitude, Yamanaka." Kiba slyly retorted with the same smirk on his face.
She laughs at the brunette male's comeback, which prompts her to wonder, 'It really has been a while since I had a decent conversation with the opposite sex.'

Temari pressed the end button on the landline phone prior to her brother's announcement, "Yo Temari, we finished up with the puppets!"
This snaps her out of her daze as she returns their house phone back on the charger in case someone else might call them.
"Hey!" Kankuro was loudly shouting up the staircase and waiting until hearing a response or seeing his older sibling's face.
She then retorts at him, "What it is?!"
"Tenten is on the phone."
'Oh that's right! I did leave my phone downstairs…' Temari remembered before she instructed him to "Tell her give me twenty seconds."
A sly smile stretches across Kankuro's face since was is his golden opportunity to converse with the girl he has a crush on. "Tenten, she said give her twenty seconds…"
"So what's the problem?" He was curiously asking to the brunette on the other line.
"Tao left his lunchbox at the house so I went to give it to him, but I forgot to get the rest of the bus fare so now I'm stuck here at his school." Tenten discloses about the tight situation she was in.
"He attends Hidden Leaf Elementary, right?" Kankuro remembered where Temari said Tao attended school.
"Uhm yes, yes he does."
"You know that Temari's tournament is in that direction. You should probably get him for early dismissal so he could cheer on his godmother." He was suggesting to her as the next possible course of action.
"You're willing to come pick me up?"
"You did choose my older sister to be Tao's godmother so as her younger brother it is the least I can do."
"Oh my god Kankuro! You're a real life saver. Thank you so very much!"
"It's no problem. Just worry about Tao."
"So...you think you're really slick, huh?" Tenten was sharply interrupting after purposely halting at the bottom of the stair.
"Whatever do you mean, sister dear?" Kankuro cleverly quipped before he quickly facesd in her direction.
"Don't fuck with me Kankuro! You know how I am about Tenten and my godson." She rudely snaps at her brother with her arms across her chest.
"Sheesh, a man can't have a crush on a beautiful woman such as Tenten?" He boldly challenges, which instantly earns him a response, "If it is you or someone that's has a similar character than yes there is a problem."
Kankuro was simply rolling his eyes at his sister, quietly huffin and casually mentioninh, "We have to go pick her up from Tao's school."
"Did something happen?"
"No, she said she forgot her bus fare money and is stuck at the school."
"Let's hurry up then."
"I was waiting for you Miss Prima Donna." Kankuro was cleverly slipping in as he was lazily moving toward the door.
"What was that?!" Temari sharply demanded while she constantly watched her brother's antics.
"Nothing."
Meanwhile…
Tenten eventually ended the phone call on a rather positive note. She then idly lifted the blue box to her eye level and lazily dropped it back to her side.
'I definitely need to buy Temari a gift for being such a wonderful godmother.'
'At least you get to surprise him in class today.' She was cheerfully considering as she was finally entering inside of her son's Kindergarten class.
Tenten was thoroughly surprised to see that the class was empty of children that is until she heard a masculine voice spoke to her.
'Where are the children?'
"Ah, what a pleasant surprise Ms. Tenten," A man, with a spiky brunette styled in ponytail, politely greeted her upon her entrance.
"Mr. Umino," She kindly reciprocates before she curiously asks, "Where's Tao? He left his lunchbox at home."
An expression of realization dawns on him until he abruptly utters, "So that's why he was a little upset this morning. I can go ahead and take that to him if you want."
'Well it was his fault that he left it.'
Tenten was releasing a deep sigh when a genuine smile was materializing across her face, handing over the lunchbox and thanking him.
Mr. Umino made a move toward the door before she kindly directed to him, "Uhm, do you mind if I sit around until my ride arrives?"
He briefly halts at the door's threshold, rotates his head in her direction and replies, "As long as you remain quiet then I don't see any problems. Besides, parents are always welcome to my class. "
"Plus you actually came at a pretty good time, we have our local authorities doing a spiel about safety around strangers." He adds.
"I see and thank you." "Uhm is there any specific place I need to sit?"
"You can sit over there, Ms. Tenten." He was mentioning while pointing his index finger over near his desk, which was prompting Tenten to move in that direction.
The sound of children outside of the classroom causes her to contemplate, 'I hope Kankuro and Temari get here as fast as they can.'
She slightly grew anxious to witness her son behaviour in class whenever she is not around him. 'I wonder if Tao is active or calm in class?'
