Sakura's POV

It's been about a week and you wouldn't believe that even the Anbu Black Ops has this much paperwork, i placed the last of the files I've been reviewing since 5 am in the morning in front of my Desk. I glanced at the wall clock... Great now that I'm done with the paperwork i have an hour before yet another meeting with the Captains and two more hours before inspection of the Anbu Base. I was about to go out when a knock on the door prevented me before i could even stand up "Come in" i sighed.

"Sakura-sama, a scroll has just arrived for you" i groaned in my head i didn't even have an hour to spare to train or read the books Goru gave me. I leaned back to my chair as i took the scroll of my desk "This seal is the Anbu Council!"

"We just received word from the Anbu council that the Head Anbu Captains all around the 4 nations are being summoned to settle some issues regarding their statures in the Anbu" i raised a questioning eyebrow what nonsense is the Anbu council up to. I read the scroll with a frown "Thank you, you may go" i dismissed "Hai" and the Anbu left.

Greetings esteemed Anbu Captain Haruno Sakura,

Your presence is required at the First Anbu Captain gathering which will be held a week from now in the Land of Iron, this is to discuss all of your accomplishments and leadership status as the Head captain of your village. If you are evaluated to be unfit to lead the Anbu Black Ops your status will be hereby revoked, but if you are found to be suitable for a promotion you will receive a choice between two rewards.

That is all; we expect great things from you Haruno Sakura we hope you live up to your reputation

Sincerely, the Anbu Council.

I burned the letter in my hand and watched as the ashes were blown away by the wind from the open window "What are they thinking" i smirked at the thought of having a faceoff with the other Anbu leaders. I glanced at the clock once again "Guess i better go before I'm late" i almost forgot about the meeting better start in early since now we have an additional topic to discuss.

Normal POV

"Why you little!" Karin shrieked chasing after Naruto who accidentally tripped on Suigetsu's foot and spilled his hot ramen all over her. "Run Naruto a crazy banshee is right behind you!" Suigetsu burst into a fit of laugher clutching his stomach tightly. Sasuke groaned from the branch he was sitting on "Hey if you ask me it's an improvement" Naruto joked running around in circles. Karin grabbed a rock and threw it straight at the blonde's head effectively stopping him giving her the chance to tackle him to the ground.

"Sasuke a little help man!" Naruto shouted Sasuke rolled his eyes and jumped from the tree and with one hand pulled Naruto from under Karin's foot. "Thanks" Naruto grin hiding behind him. Karin grunted "You got lucky" and she walked away noodles all over her and her clothes drenched in sauce. Naruto gave a relieved sigh and glared at Suigetsu who was rolling on the ground still laughing. "I'll get you for this!" Naruto yelled and lunged at him and the two engaged in a wrestling match.

Sasuke shook his head and started his training ignoring the two idiots rolling on the ground. Tsunade on the other hand was pacing inside her office with Shizune staring at her like she's ill or something. "Tsunade-sama are you feeling alright?" she asked concerned.

"Yes but for some reason i feel like something's wrong-maybe i just need to get out of this office" She sighed leaning on the edge of her desk. "Well you don't have that much work for today anyway, so it's not a bad idea you could use the fresh air" Shizune smiled.

Tsunade nodded and walked out of her office "I'll spend the day out of my office for a change"

Sakura finally finished today's meetings and the inspection of the Anbu base went well, now all that's left to do is to report to Tsunade about the news from the Anbu council.

"Shizune where is Tsunade-sama?" she asked alarmed she isn't in her office like she usually is. "Oh well, Tsunade-sama went to take in some fresh air today she won't be in today" Shizune replied, Sakura nodded and left to find her.

She scanned the village for her chakra that she found inside a restaurant "Of course" she sighed, she can't go in wearing her Anbu uniform it might alarm the villagers. Sakura decided to tell her tomorrow she could use the day to train anyway, this was her only time away from the Anbu so might as well spend it doing something productive like she always does.

It was night time by the time she was finished training as she was about to leave but she sensed Naruto's chakra was near, she hid her chakra and jumped on a high tree branch to find him running and stopping all of a sudden. "Sasuke you and Suigetsu are so slow" he whined, Sasuke Hn and Suigetsu gave a cocky remark about him being born with kittens.

Sasuke felt someone was watching them even if they did hide their chakra; he activated his sharingan and started to search the area. Sakura with her speed ran off before Sasuke could find her, not because she was scared because she really didn't want to explain anything right now. "Sasuke what's wrong?" Suigetsu asked. Sasuke grunted and muttered nothing, he was sure someone was there and must of ran off whoever it was must have had great speed to be able to escape from him, he tried locating their chakra but it was already too far away.

"Escaping from an Uchiha sure is tough" Sakura declared panting when she reached her house; it took more than her average speed when she's on a mission to escape from Sasuke's Sharingan even without the Sharingan Sasuke was one of the most powerful Shinobi across the 4 Nations.

She took a long shower feeling her exhaustion take over her body; she's been behind a desk all week if not her desk in the conference table and if not she's evaluating the new members qualifications to be an Anbu. A very busy week for Sakura and it's going to be like that for a while until this whole Anbu business is done, and she had the Anbu Council to deal with. "How Annoying" she groaned which she wanted to do all day, but sadly couldn't.

After her shower she put on a pair of black pyjamas and a red tank top and wasted no time in placing herself under her covers. She was so tired that she forgot all about her plans to read the remaining books Goru had given her, she was sure she had some time to read them before she leaves for the Land of Iron.
