Sakura exited the tent sick to her stomach, the smell of death making her sick. Stumbling a bit she walked away from the OR tent, praying for fresh air. Reaching the wall that had been built she sank down to sit on the ground; after all what was a little dirt mixed in with some blood. Closing her eyes Sakura did her best to block out the sounds of the war. She was just about to nod off when a soft whimper reached her ears.

Opening her eyes she scanned the area and found nothing. When the sound came again Sakura forced herself to stand up. Once again she looked around and found nothing. Moving closer to the fence she pressed her ear against the wood and listened. The whimpering has louder, which meant it was on the other side of the fence. Her curiosity getting the better of her she glanced at the Akimichi guard at the entrance and knew there was no way she was getting by him without a scene. So she did the next best thing.

Biting her thumb Sakura went through the hands signs and then silently pressed her hand upon the ground. A puff of smoke arose and she jumped back as the Monkey King came at her. Bringing up her arms to block his attack, before jumping in the air and landing on the Monkey's back. "I didn't call you here to spar."

He turned his head to stare at the girl "You didn't send a larger burst of chakra than normal; which meant there's no battle."

Sakura nodded "Correct."

"And you didn't call me here to spar?" Sakura nodded again "Then what the hell am I doing here? Where the hell is here? And would you get off my back, you're heavy!"

Sakura scowled but slid from the Monkey's back and quickly explained what was going on; she had hoped to spare the Monkey clan from this fight and more importantly herself from a rant about what it meant to be from Konoha. Taking a deep breath Sakura began explaining; about Konoha, about its destruction, about Pein, about the Hokage summit and Danzo and about the war and finally the imposters.

"Why the hell didn't you summon me sooner, I could have done something!"

Sakura began counting to ten in her head "No you couldn't. There was nothing any of us could do."

"You don't know that, and look at you; you look like you have a foot in the grave. When was the last time you ate, you're looking thin."

Sakura smiled, Enma had a habit of being a mother hen when he saw her. Making sure that her wounds were always tended to after their spars; no matter how many times she told him she was medic and knew what she was doing he wouldn't listen. "There are a lot of wounded; I've got fix them up just so they can go out and die." Sakura sat down again

Enma sat down beside her; she could only imagine how strange it looked; a medic and her monkey. A moment later a furry hand was patting her head "I remember Hiruzen during the second shinobi war. A lot of times he'd only call me in-between battles, just so he could talk to someone. It made him feel better."

"Thank you Enma."

"No problem Pinkie."

"I do have one favor to ask though."

Enma pulled his hand back "What do you need."

"There's something whimpering on the other side of the fence, whimpering," she went quiet allowing the Monkey King to listen. A moment later the sound came.

"You want me to go and see what it is."

Sakura nodded "I can't go on the other side of the fence because of the clones, but you can, I can make sure it's you by re-summoning you when you're done seeing what it is."

"I am not an errand monkey."

"Please Enma, please. I need something to focus on other than surgeries and blood and watching somebody die."

The Monkey King sighed and stood back up, "Listen for the smoke explosion." Climbed the fence and then went over the wall. Standing Sakura pressed her ear to the wall and listened as leaves crunched. A minute later she heard the puff; biting her thumb one more time she went through the hand signs and pressed her hand to the ground one more time.

Another puff of smoke came up and Enma reappeared, a disgusted look on his face and a basket full of . . . "Are those puppies?"

Enma sighed "Yes. Most nin-dogs are very loyal and loving summons, but in some of the original packs, if a runt is born then they're usually abandoned."

Sakura reached forward to take one of the tiny puppies dangling from Enma's arms. It was a German Shepard puppy "He can't be more than five days old, his eyes aren't even open yet." She cuddled the puppy close to her, to warm him. "Probably only been on their own for a few hours."

Enma nodded "The original dog clans are probably taking advantage of the war."

"Are we sure they're nin-dogs."

Enma nodded "They have a chakra network; its small but it's there. What do you want to do with them Sakura?"

Sakura stared at the puppies hanging in Enma's arms. There were seven including the German Shepard in her arms; a Husky, a Blood Hound, a Dalmatian, a Golden Retriever, a Shiba Inu, and a bearded collie. "I'll take care of them." The words were out of her mouth before she had truly considered the meaning.

"Are you sure Sakura?"

Hesitating only a moment she nodded and Enma sighed "Where's your tent?"

She pointed "Over there, why?"

"I'm gonna go take them there, you go find some spare blankets, a basket and a warm water bottle. Sakura watched Enma go before going to find what she was told, and to find Shizune and tell her what was going on.

It has been so weird not updating a story every day. Anyways, there will be a few chapters centered around the dogs. I love them :)
