A sturdy knock was heard on the wooden door of the Hokage's office.
"Tsunade may I come in."
"Yes come in." The blonde look up and wonder who can it be now.
"Uchiha Sasuke reporting from an S-class mission. I am supposing that you read the mission information left by the third hokage."
"Hai I read it but I have to ask you would have gone even without the mission."
Sasuke bowed his head in shame knowing that it would be wrong.
"Yes I would have gone to Orochimaru. I would do anything to kill my brother even if it means going to him. That is goal in life. On the other hand, I would have never allowed him to take my body, nor would spill any secrets of the hidden leaf village" He looked up and looked up into the hazel eyes of the fifth hokage Tsunade. You could see seriousness in his eyes. The other occupant in the room had soft and sad eyes.
"Very well, how was the mission?"
" I had to escape before Orochimaru got my body, but I got a lot information. First they are going attack Kohona in the fall when everybody is getting ready for the cold weather. He will destroy all our crops. Then he will cut the trading routes. This will have an effect on company that makes our daily needs. This way we will suffer economically. In result the shonibis will be weaker. Then he will attack us directly." Sasuke stopped for awhile so Tsunade can think for awhile. She had her chin on top of her hands, which acted like head holder. It was late in the evening the sun was about set in an hour, (by this time the sky will have the sunset color) which had an affect on their skin.
'Wow Orochimaru really planned this one out.' Thought Tsunade. "Ok…"
Before she can finish Sasuke spoke again,
" I also got information about the Akatsuki. They have got the two-tailed beast just recently. They should be planning to get the kyuubi soon. They are really taking up speed, but I take it you would already know. They also are waiting for the seal on Naruto to loosen so they won't have any problems to get the kyuubi."
"That is a lot of information so I thank you."
"hn"
"About Naruto don't worry about it he has stop using the Kyuubi since the last time he saw you. That is at the Sound base camp. He went into a special training, with Kakashi-san and couple of other people, that compressed the kyuubi chakra so he can use the chakra without summoning the kyuubi " Sasuke sigh in relief knowing that his best friend is safe, uncouinslly
" You can leave. But I need you to bring Sakura back here there is something I have to tell her. Also I need you back!"
'Sakura how long has it been. Do you… no. I don't need silly thoughts right now. '
Tsunade just watched the almost adult leave the room with a soft sigh.
At Sakura's room, Sakura is just lying on her bed thinking about a certain cold-hearted avenger of ours, crying. Yes a beautiful sad sight.
' Why? All I think about is him. I can't get my mind of him.' She picks up the picture of team 7. 'I wish he would come back. '
Unknown to her there is figure on her balcony memorized by her beauty and actions.
'What? Why?'
'
Someone is out there.' " Come on out I know you are there."
"Your better than ever Sa-ku-ra"
" Sasuke-kun"
' She has gotten better. Now here it comes. Just like I expected'
Sakura ran up to him and gave him a hug and started to cry on his T-shirt.
'Now what did I do?' Sasuke mentally roll his eyes about that statement.
"Sasuke-kun your back I can't believe it. It can't be true."
"Whatever Sakura. I am going now." He starts to leave, but a crying jounin stops him.
"No please don't."
"Aa"
A true smile that is reserved only for Sasuke was played across Sakura's face
"Sakura you do know that you really are annoying."
All she could do is smile and say, "I know," while he loosely hugged her back.
"O ya before I forget the 5th is calling us back."
"Alright lets go. Follow me. I know a shortcut."
They are walking threw this dark tunnel which not many people know about. The silence was killing both of them so Sasuke decided to ask her 'where were they?'
"These tunnels were only made for the most trusted ninja's to know about. Very few people know about this tunnel. I don't even think Kakashi-sensei knows about this place."
"Aa"
"hmm… Sasuke-kun why did you come back."
"…" was his reply. After few minutes he decided to say, " I will tell you later I don't know if I can tell you." After a few minutes they reached the Hokage's door and opened it.
"Here we are!"
' Wait something's wrong it is totally dark and quiet. There isn't even a light on. ' They both had a similar thought to this. Just in a nanosecond the shonibi's instinct kicked in and they both went into a defensive mode.
"HAPPY B-DAY SAKURA/-CHAN/-SAN/-DONO/-SAMA."
Sakura looked was shocked. Today was the day when she turned seventeen. She look everyone is here. Naruto, Hinata, Ino, ANBU that I helped when they were injured I made that up, Kiba, Temari even Gaara who know is the Kazekage and is here for Sakura's birthday (they had made a freindship after savings his brothers life and during the chuunin exams), Shino, Asuma-sensei, Sai, Morino Ibiki, Anko, Yamato, Amaya, Chouji, Shikamaru …well I get my point don't ya.
Then there is silence seeing who also came with Sakura. Then after few minutes of shock, the number-one-hyper-active-knuckle-head-ninja broke the silence,
"Sasuke-teme"
"What dope." Was the ice bergs reply.
"Hehe… Well I should explain here shouldn't I."
"Yes you should old hag." yelled a certain blond boy.
The fifth began to explain everything to them. She also told them that she didn't know about the mission in the beginning. After that everybody started to give gifts and woshes to Sakura while off parting.
Later on in the party , Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto were talking or listening in Sasuke's case, Ino came up. (o the terror just joking)
"Sasuke deary I bet you came back for me didn't you." Ino asked in a sickening flirtious way.
"Get off him Ino-pig"
"Shut up forehead girl"
' So I see the still are rivals, yet aren't they. It is nice to be back.'
" Hey Sakura, Naruto who are some of these people?" asked the dark ninja of Team 7.
" Let me introduce them to you."
