"Why do you always have to make such a damn mess. It makes it so no one but the Copy Nin will work with you." The Hokage complained.
"The mess is the last thing on my mind in an assasination and infiltration mission Shisou." Sakura said calmly.
Tsunade surveyed her student, her stance, her eyes, her mouth. "Glad to have you back kid."
Sakura bowed and a moment later she was in her apartment peeling her clothes off on the way to her bathroom.
"Get out." She didn't even turn to look at him as she shut the door to her bathroom and locked the door.
"Sakura." Itachi called through the bathroom door.
"Go away Uchiha, I have nothing to say to you." She turned the knobs of her shower on and waited for it to warm.
"We don't have to talk, let me in." The doorknob to the bathroom jingled.
"Not now Uchiha." and she stepped into the shower doing the one handed protection jutsu for her bathroom door.
"I'm putting you on a new team. Evaluations are in two hours. Meet them at Anbu training ground 3." The Commander told her and left her office.
Sakura hated it when he came to her office in the hospital. She liked to keep her Anbu and her other life separate. Another team, and she didn't even get to pick them. Who the hell approved that? She was the Captain. Sakura rose from behind her desk and headed to the Hokage's Tower.
"You need a new team Sakura, you've not had one longer than anyone else in active duty. I should have assigned one to you months ago." She stood up and looked out of the tower window over Konoha. "I'm glad you're back to your old self. I will give you a month to train and get to know your new team before sending you out on missions. Use the time wisely."
"Take it or leave it, you are joining a new team , and not as Captain. I know you're back to your old self but it's policy and procedure, you get 6 months as a subordinate to prove your head is up to the pressure again and you will get your title back." Tsunade told her.
Sakura glared at her and she glared back at Sakura.
With one last look at her Shisou she jumped out the window of the Hokage tower and sprinted to the forest.
He found her skipping rocks across the river...actually, he found her throwing car size boulders into the river making a very effective dam in the process.
"If you do that, the beavers are going to get pissed." came a voice from behind her.
"Fuck the beavers!" She threw another boulder into the river.
"No thanks, I hear they bite." He sat down by the bank and watched her tug up a boulder that had been lodged into the surface of the Earth, probably from the last Ice Age.
'I bite." She dropped said boulder and came to sit in his lap facing him and running her hands through his spiky locks.
"And I love it. What's this all about?" Kakashi motioned to the boulders in the river behind them.
"I have a new team...and I fucking got demoted! " She was flailing her arms around in her frustration, smacking him in the head with one by accident.
"Policy, it's happened to me three times, suck it up and get over it."he disappeared before she could lash out at him.
"Fucking Copy Nin." She got to her feet and teleported to the locker rooms to strap on her Anbu gear.
