"You're here." Tsunade murmured quietly her eyes remaining on the page in front of her as she continued to write. Kakashi did not speak as he moved from behind Tsunade to stand in front of her desk.

"Why are you giving her permission to do this?" Kakashi asked sternly folding his arms across his chest. Tsunade paused from writing and let the brush rest against the surface of the desk as she laced her fingers together in front of her.

"She wants her revenge."

"Don't let her do this."

"I can not stop her."

"You're the Hokage." Kakashi rebutted with disbelief.

"This is what Sakura wants." Tsunade replied and Kakashi slammed his fist down onto the desk causing a crack to appear as his body visibly shook from anger with his head bowed so that Tsunade could not see his face.

"Stop her Tsunade." Kakashi spoke anger laced in his voice. They remained silent and Kakashi's body slumped slightly as he stopped shaking from fury.

"There is nothing I can do." She stated calmly. Kakashi's fist dropped to his side as he pulled himself to his full height and turned to leave, but paused at the door.

"Are you prepared to lose her if she fails?"

"Are you?" Kakashi's hand gripped the door handle tighter while he gritted his teeth in resentment. "As I said before there is nothing that I can do, but you can." Her fingers slid apart as she gathered the brush into her hand, dipping it into the ink pot and writing once more. "You care for her."

"Is this why Shizune told me?" Kakashi spoke abruptly his voice low and with no emotion attached to it. Tsunade remained quiet. "I see." He opened the door in silence and crossed the threshold quickly leaving Tsunade to her thoughts
