Chapter 6: investigating..


KONOHA.


"troublesome"

tock...

"( twitch ) roublesome woman!"

yes it wasn't a pleasant day for the lazy Anbu strategist who seemingly ended up with a pile of paperwork.

He was glaring holes into each and every copy of confidential paper work.

Ever since the news about Sakura's sudden disappearance and betrayal , Shikamaru Nara wanted to murder her for leaving large amount of work to be done.

"just had to do something troublesome" thought the pineapple head.

He basically didn't want any interruptions, or disturbance unless it was his ever so crying girlfriend Ino;

he just wanted to get things dome so he can do what he does best...SLEEP!.

The lazy ass sighed , rubbing his forehead as a headache was seeping it's way through to his cells. He wasn't having a good week so far.

After reading the last file of the day and it happened to the last mission that teams two and three went on a rescue and backup team because of a genin and chunin being suddenly attacked by unknown akastuki's that were lurking around the border of the rain village.

Scanning over the information quickly and then picking up on clues or unsolved questions that will be asked by the hokage saying it was a fail.

… but it wasn't a fail...

shikamaru furrowed his eyebrows together as he figured some parts of the reports...

part of it was that another team that was located 2miles west of the two teams came to help out after there mission was done... Sakura's team... team 1..

again.. shikamaru frowned at this...

the mission wasn't completely a success nor was it a near fail...

for the fact to be either of them was, both teams came back no major series of injuries including the genin and chunin. Both anbu teams successfully bought them back including the three men that poses as Akastuki...

but it was Sakura's team that got him thinking more then he wanted..

why was it Neji and Shenji injured and the rest was healed leaving some bruises and a couple of scratches on them...

shikamaru read further into the report he repharsed some of the information Neji had put in.

" Haruno Sakura attacked two of the akastuki while others tried to gain control of the genin team including the chunin. While doing this we were unknown to the fact this was a set up.

The chunin was suppose to collect a forbidden scroll and come back with the genin team that was carrying a national treasure to Konoha.

Three wanna-be Akastuki ambushed , and they soon sent a emergency backup.

Anbu squad one was first to come to there aid as we were the closest and then soon team two and three joined from south east and north west of rain village."

shikamaru paused. " why didn't he mention about the injuries on him, or for the fact that Sakura turned against them after she healed them." he sadi out loud.

Something didn't add up and he might as well ask Neji himself for that piece of info. Unless the hokage's already got that report.

"Neji also said that once the arrived to the scene he sensed and saw more shinobi coming from east north and south east heading towards there direction. But he also failed to mention if they were after the scroll or kill off the designated squads"

shikamaru slammed his hands on the desk scrunching up the paper between his fingers. His eyes widen and his body tremble. Fear, angry, who knows... all he knows for a fact that the apprentice of the Slug Sanin and a well respected Kunoichi did not do this on her own.

" Sakura... you …... but..h-how... and when did you plan all this?... and who was the other?"

the lazy ass glanced down at the report before him... and read

" once everything was cleared tao, a genjutsu realized there was a a-rank genjutsu upon us including another on the surrounded area. When he released us from the jutsu, another shinobi was there in Leaf village Anbu atttire wearing a wolf mask, long black hair tied loosely behind him or her. Captain Haruno was standing next to this person with a an anbu pinned to a tree with a Katanna at his throat".

Shikamaru wasn't even sure he wanted to know or even thought of wanting to know at that exact description of another unknown Shinobi with that high statis of genjutsu... that he thought was suppose to be dead...

with almost a lighting flash, he sprinted to the hokage's office after he solved part of the investigation.

"whatever you planning sakura... I know for a fact... your doing this for some purpose of for someone..." he thought.

Tsunade was standing by her large wooden desk. Three people were in her office.

One was concealed of showing his identity to anyone, the other was slightly nervous. The last person was one of the few people she really wanted to see before sending out anyone for a retrieval.

" I read both scrolls from her and the uchiha. But I haven't found anything that can explain the questions I want answered more or less... want to know why I wasn't told of this double agent and solo mission she was given at the age of 8." the man spoke calmly and his breath was a bit hollow.


Tsundae stood back turned at all times.

" kakashi.. when given a mission it must be only confidential and kept to the shinobi itself."

" i-

" also it was only out of concern for her and the uchiha safety... being both murders at young ages. She at 8 and he at 13.. but the questrion is Kakashi... would you believed Sakura if she told you about the mission that she put upon herself... would you accept he choice of life... I for one did not like this when I first took her aas my apprentice."

Kakashi stayed silent , head bowed.

It was silent for a good ten minutes until Kakshi decided to break the silence.

"i,m sure you strictly told me to kee p this to myself.. but I didn't know that a Anbu would be hear to listen on this private conversation Hokage-sama."

tsunad turned and glanced at the pervert jonin then at the man behind him. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and slowly letting it go.

" before I say anything else I need to you to prepare a team for a retreival squad to bring team Taka and Haruno Sakura back to the leaf village ASAP.. the elders getting suspicious."

Kakashi slowly nodded. Then he inclined jis head to the member behind him.

The man slowly walked towards the desk before Kakashi. At the same time he removed his mask and doing a few hand signs a genjutsu was set and he faced Kakashi with a very well known smirk.

"Itachi".
