A/N: I am so SORRY! I'm really sorry for taking so long to update. I've been distracted by this other fics so (laughs nervously)... Well... Let's start the ball rolling... XD
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
"Hey Hinata." Sakura called to her friend as they leap from tree to tree.
"Yes Sakura-chan?" Hinata asked.
"Well, I was just wondering... Why did Tsunade-sama gave us such a long time for us to complete this mission. I mean, going to the wave country would only take us maximum of 1 day and a half. We can even reach it in half a day if we don't feel like resting. Don't you think 1 week is a bit too long?" Sakura asked curiously at her companion.
"I don't know Sakura but, uhm, I guess she wanted us to have a break or something. You know, we've been doing a lot of missions lately, maybe she decided to give us a one week break to the wave country." Hinata came up with a suggestion, hoping Sakura would agree.
"I guess you're right." Sakura said "Too bad Tenten and Ino-pig can't come, it'll be more fun if they're here"
"You're right" Hinata laughed a litttle as she sighed inwardly. 'Atleast she was convinced' she thought.
"But still, let's try and enjoy this to the fullest." Sakura beamed and started to leap faster.
"Sure" Hinata smiled. 'I hope everything will be okay' she thought as she remembered her conversation with the hokage.
Hokage Tower
Hinata made her way inside the hokage tower until she reached her destination, she knocked on the wooden door softly. Seconds after, the door opened revealing Shizune.
"Oh, Hinata, you're here, come in" Shizune smiled as Hinata entered the room.
Tsunade looked at her. "Hinata, I believe Sakura already informed you about your mission" Tsunade said.
"Yes, she did" Hinata answered politely.
"I see" Tsunade said "Hinata, I want you to help me."
"What is it Tsunade-sama?" Hinata asked a bit startled.
Tsunade sighed. "Uchiha Sasuke is returning tomorrow afternoon, and I don't want him to cross paths with Sakura. Not yet. Not now that Sakura is just starting to return to her old self. Hinata, I want you and Sakura to stay at the wave country for a week, and do your best not to let her know about this information." Tsunade ordered.
Hinata gasped as her eyes widened.
"Sa-sasuke-san is returning?" she asked not believing what she just heard.
"Yes Hinata, he's back, don't tell Sakura, or the others, so do your best." Tsunade said.
"Hai!" she answered.
"Okay" Tsunade smiled. "Dismissed"
Hinata sighed at the memory 'I wonder if he arrived already. It's already afternoon after all." She thought as she followed Sakura's lead and increased her speed.
Konoha Main Gate
Shizune stood at the main gates waiting for their visitor to arrive. Two anbus by her side, accompanying her.
"Shizune-san, I think they've arrived" one of the two anbus informed her tilting his head outside the gates.
She looked at the direction he was pointing and indeed, 4 figures emerged. She noticed two of them were being carried.
"Let's go" she said as they ran outside to meet them before they can be seen by the villagers.
"Shizune-san, what are you guys doing here?" One of the newly arrived anbus who has white hair asked as he carried a very familiar raven haired teen.
"We are here by the orders of Tsunade-sama." Shizune said. "How are they?" She asked pointing at Sasuke and another unconscious female anbu.
"Lina is fine, there's nothing to worry about her. But the Uchiha is injured badly." The dark blue haired anbu said as he carried the girl.
"Lina?" One of the anbus that accompanied Shizune asked.
"Just a name, we had trouble telling who's who if we just call each other 'Hey'" The dark blue haired said as-a-matter-of-factly.
"Oh. Good idea, let me try that sometime." The anbu muttered nodding to himself.
"Enough with the chatting. Tsunade-sama said that you need to bring them to the hospital quickly. Bring them both to that room. We will meet you there." Shizune ordered.
"Understood" The 2 anbus said in unision as they both disappeared in a puff of smoke, along with the 2 unconscious teens.
"And you" Shizune said pointing to one of the anbus that accompanied her. "Go inform Tsunade-sama that our visitor has arrived." She ordered.
"Hai" The anbu nodded before he too, disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Let's go" Shizune said signalling the remaining anbu to follow her.
"Ne Shizune-san" He called as they walked back inside.
"What?" She asked turning to him.
"Why did you bring me here when I got absolutely nothing to do?" he asked.
Shizune sweatdropped. "Uh... well... Don't ask me, Tsunade-sama was the one who assigned you with me." She answered then laughed nervously.
He looked at her for a while then turned his gaze infront of him. "Sigh" he sighed then hanged his head low as they headed for the hospital.
Shizune looked at him then tilted her head to the hospital. 'I hope everything goes well' she thought.
Hokage Tower
Tsunade sat comfortably at her seat. She took her tea from her table and took a sip from it.
"Do you have a report?" she asked as a figure from behind her began to materialize.
"Hai Tsunade-sama" the anbu answered as he disappeared only to reappear infront of Tsunade.
"Shizune-san wanted to inform you that your visitor has arrived." he informed.
Tsunade once again took a sip on her tea.
"I see" she sighed "How are they?"
"Lina is fine, there is nothing to worry about her. The Uchiha, on the other hand is injured." he said, almost copying the words of the other anbu.
Tsunade raised a brow. "Lina?"
"Just a name, or so they say." The anbu shrugged.
Tsunade once again sighed then stood up and walk towards the door.
"Let's go" she ordered as she made her way outside.
The anbu nodded and quickly went after her.
'Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be a start of a new chaos?' Tsunade thought as she made her way to the hospital.
