Sakura was calmly walking to her office to file away some paperwork before finally heading home. She was exhausted, but that's the usual for her. Tomorrow was an important day and she wanted to get up earlier than usual so she had time to fulfill what she felt she needed to do. Lost in her thoughts the pinkette opened her office door and was immediately hit by the stench of blood.
…...…...
Itachi smoothly sat next to Shizune as he handed a sealed scroll to the Great Tsunade. Tsunade studied the scroll closely but did not move to open it. It had the seal of the monkey. A very surprised and perplexed Tsunade shot a look at Shizune before her honey eyes rested upon the Uchiha's stress marks not daring to look into his eyes.
"Rest easy kunoichi I am not here to harm you, I am just delivering a scroll to the great hokage of the leaf village."
"From who is this message from? And why are you the one delivering this message?" Barked Tsunade offended at being called kunoichi, she hasn't been showed such disrespect in DECADES!
"I think you recognize the seal well enough, Lady Tsunade." Itachi amended trying to calm the hot headed drunk woman in front of him.
"Also I would rather not get stabbed by your apprentice's poisoned senbon your grace, for I would have to retaliate and that is most certainly counterproductive to my mission." He continued not even sparing Shizune a glance as she gasps and drops the senbon she was inching towards possibly the most wanted man in fire country.
Tsunade narrowed her eyes and she spoke with gritted teeth, "Any chance you would like to share what exactly your mission entails?" She was never good at diplomatic talks, the blonde much preferred beating the snot out of her enemies, not fraternizing with the enemy over sake in the back of a bar. Remembering her alcohol, she took a deep swing, earning a wide eyed stare from Shizune and a chuckle from the raven murderer across from her.
"And here I thought we left all this diplomatic bullshit when we left the daimyo's palace." Tsunade muttered as she stared at the scroll in her hand.
