Betsy jumped to the last branch closest to the mission location. She peered out the tree. Betsy jumped to ground and looked up to see a girl making flour. "Uh… excuse me, is this the Hoshimaru residence?" The girl looked up and stopped making flour. "Of course, I'm Taki Hoshimaru's daughter, Tamanaka, nice to meet you." She bowed and smiled. "I, my team, and sensei are on a mission. We have to protect your father from an Akataski member from the hidden mist." Betsy noticed the others had arrived. Tamanaka looked up at her and nodded. "I have heard of this ninja. His name is Kisame. My father is an ANBU leader, a retired one, but stays undercover as a bridge builder." Betsy nodded. "Okay, we need to protect him while on a journey to the hidden stone village. Do you need more information before we start the journey and the mission?" Betsy asked. Yamanaka shakes her head. The others saw her shake her head and ran inside. Betsy followed and Yamanaka started to make flour again.

"Kakashi, what rank is this mission?" Betsy asked him. Kakashi looked down at her. "Do you really want to know?" Betsy nodded. "It's an A rank mission…" Betsy's mouth dropped and she tried to speak, but she was speechless. Sasuke was lost in a daydream, not noticing Sakura, leaning on his shoulder. Betsy was sitting in another corner sitting in between Naruto and Kakashi. Betsy was watching the clouds while they waited for Taki to finish packing. Betsy sighed deeply and had a bored expression on her face. She looked around for something to do.

Sasuke came out of his daydream and noticed Sakura leaning on him. She was asleep, too. Sasuke leaned Sakura down and walks to a bench. Finally, Taki said goodbye to all of his family and finished packing. He stepped out the door and walked with the team. (Sakura was being carried by Kakashi because she was asleep)
