"Ero-Sennin (Japanese for Perverted Hermit just incase you didn't know it's a nickname that Naruto gave him for obvious reasons) is a legendary sennin, how did he get captured!" Naruto shouted beseeching Tsunade for an answer.
Tsunade continues to stand there with the tears rolling down her face until she finally answers.
"…………..He was captured by Sasuke and Orochimaru." Tsunade told them as you can hear the feint sobs coming from her.
Naruto and Sakura stand there with expressions of utter surprise on their faces. Naruto heads drops down until it is in the shadow of the sun growing increasingly unstable by the second. Sakura looks over at him and she sees the anger building up in Naruto just by his body expressions alone. They all stand there until Naruto mutters just one word.
"……..Orochimaru……." Naruto says in the most furious voice he can muster.
Sakura turns to him and puts her hand on his shoulder to try and comfort him. Naruto clams down a bit and then Tsunade gives them more details on the mission.
"Jaraiya was in the Wave Country on a mission to track down and stop a shipment of scrolls of kinjustu (forbidden ninjutsu just in case you all were wondering). Tsunade told them.
"Kinjutsu?" Sakura asked Tsunade.
"Yes. He was supposed to report back to us about a week ago, but, apparently he found out a little too much and he was captured at the hands of Sasuke and Orochimaru. We sent tracker ninja to find him and bring him back but only one returned alive. He came back with a message from them.
Tsunade then turns to Naruto and tells him.
"The message said 'Naruto, if you want to finish where we left off ten years ago then com to the Wave Country. I'll be waiting.'" Tsunade told him.
Naruto raises his head and smiles. Soon thereafter he starts to laugh hysterically.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! Sasuke you dog. You think that I would forgive you for capturing Jaraiya and putting Sakura through so much pain worrying about you. I told you I'll break your arms and legs and drag you back if I have to my friend." Naruto mutters to himself.
Tsunade addresses their attention to her as she continues to tell them the rest of their mission specs.
"This mission I have for you two will be dangerous." Tsunade tell them.
"Hey granny I've been in plenty of dangerous missions before what's supposed to make this one so different." Naruto tells her with his vintage cocky attitude.
"Yeah Miss Tsunade I've been on plenty of A-Rank and B-Rank missions." Sakura tells Tsunade.
Tsunade gives them a serious look (which by the way is very uncharacteristic of her) and tells them.
"…………..This mission………….. is neither an A-Rank nor a B-Rank mission." Tsunade tells them.
"Then what kind of a mission is this?" Sakura asks Tsunade.
"………….This mission is an S-Rank mission." Tsunade tells them with a grim expression on her face.
Naruto and Sakura gasp as they stand there frozen in silence by what they just heard from the Hokage.
"What's an S-Rank mission Granny-Tsunade?" Naruto asked her.
Tsunade stands there looking paler than usual. She stands in silence until she finally says…..
"An S-Rank mission is one of extreme danger and peril a mission so dangerous that there has only been one in history." Tsunade tells them holding her arms together in a frightened way.
"Only one in history, which mission was it?" Sakura asks her as the mood grows more uneasy.
"The last S-Rank mission was when the Kyuubi (Nine-tailed fox demon if you all didn't know) was sealed away." Tsunade told them with a very serious and frightened expression on her face.
Naruto, Sakura, and Tsunade stand there in silence as if they were petrified. Naruto is about three shades paler than he usually is. Sakura just can't stop trembling and Tsunade continues to cry as she remembers the fact that Jaraiya was captured. The silence continues for another five minutes until……
"………Granny-Tsunade………….I accept your mission." Naruto tells Tsunade with a serious tone and an angry expression on his face.
"I also accept this mission Tsunade." Sakura tells Tsunade with the same expression and tone of voice as Naruto.
Tsunade lifts her head up.
"Thank you, both of you." Tsunade tells them as she starts wiping the tears away from her face.
"Both of you will set out for your mission in twenty-four hours. Is that understood?" Tsunade yells out at them.
"Yes ma'am!" They both yell out at her.
"Okay then the both of you are dismissed!" Tsunade yells out toward them as she makes her way back to her office.
Naruto and Sakura stand there in the sun on the rooftop until they look toward each other and Naruto smiles at her.
"So Sakura, are you ready to get Sasuke back?" He tells her with a very cheerful and energetic tone of voice.
Sakura looks at him with very soft eyes.
"……..Yes I'm ready." Sakura tells him very, very softly.
