When Sai finally made it to Ino's family shop he saw that the rest of the gang was already there discussing the disappearance of their sensei's.
"It's strange, one second Kurenai-sensei was telling to spar and the next she tells us we can have the day off before using a transporting jutsu," Kiba was telling everyone while Hinata and Shino nodded.
"That's the same thing our senseis did," everyone else said at the same time.
"I wonder what's going on? Oh Sai there you are, I was wondering when you would show, Did Kakashi and Yamato abandon your team as well?" Ino asked as Sai went to stand next to her and she looped her arm through his.
"Yeah, and I know why all our sensei's abandoned us; it's because the Demon Wolf has returned," Sai told them and watched as their eyes popped, their skin paled.
"Do you mean THE Demon Wolf? Did she have silver hair, forest green eyes, and pale skin?" everyone but Shino asked since he was still as a statue.
"Yeah, do you know her?" Sai asked looking from one face to the next, seeing the same look upon each face; except for Kiba's, he looked like he was having a great daydream.
"No, we've only heard stories about her and from what I was told she was the one who named some of us because our parents knew it would be a great honor," Shino told him after he was broken from his daze by Hinata who nudged him in the side gently, trying to get his attention back to the conversation and she was now trying to do the same thing with Kiba with no luck yet.
"That is interesting," Sai murmured before facing Ino, "So, how old was she when she left?"
"I think she must have been like eight or nine at the time. My parents told me stories about her all the time before I went to bed, but my favorite is about the first time she went to battle and came out smelling like fresh flowers. They say that's what a true kunoichi should be like after a battle; clean, beautiful, and with no rip or tears on the clothing and no sweat anywhere," Hinata surprised everyone by telling Sai without stuttering as they all sat in an awkward circle white wild flowers that Sai had never seen before.
"Not only that but after she left some of the ANBU were dispersed to find her, while searching for her they found these flowers with the faintest trace of her chakra. These flowers only bloom for about two weeks each year, and they don't usually bloom this time of year. They are called the wolfs ears because of the shape and most of the time people don't buy them because they represent one of the greatest kunoichi's anyone has ever known, instead they come in here and pray around the flowers. We usually have a mini shrine out front, however there are only four people who actually buy the flowers and one of them is Kakashi-sensei," Ino told everybody while looking at the flowers the whole time.
After a few moments of silence Sai looked at everyone and felt that this was the best time to ask one last question. "Ino I was wondering, what is the Demon Wolf's real name?" as he spoke everyone looked up at him for a moment before Ino spoke.
"No one here really knows, but one day I heard my parents talking about someone named Kira. I hadn't heard that name before but then they spoke of how she fought and I knew instantly who they were referring to."
"Thank-you for telling me about her cute lady," Sai said smiling down at her be fore remembering something, "Oh yeah, I just remembered Naruto and Sakura are looking for her, but first they are going to tell lady Tsunade that she's back." At this everyone looked at him and Kiba finally snapped out of his daydream.
"Then what are we doing sitting around? Let's join them!" Kiba yelled jumping up from his spot with Akamaru behind him. Everyone nodded enthusiastically and got up giving the flowers one last glance before turning to Shikamaru.
"We should split up into teams of two so we can cover more ground, but how should we choose the teams?" Ten-Ten pondered out loud until Shikamaru spoke up. "Why don't we write down numbers from one-to-five on pieces of paper, cut them out and then pick from a hat?" he explained as everyone turned their attention once more to him.
"Or we could do this," Kiba smirked before to Ino and saying "One" before moving on.
Before long the teams were made up of; Ten-Ten and Choji, Kiba and Lee, Shino and Ino, Shikamaru and Neji, and Hinata and Sai. Before parting they all agreed to go to Tsunade's office to report to her.
"Kira-sensei where are we going?" Iruka asked as he followed her over the rooftops. Kira looked over her shoulder and gave him one more of her famous smirks instead of answering.
"What are we doing here? You just talked to Tsunade-sama," Iruka whispered as he watched his old sensei pick-locking the window to the Hokages office. Kira ignored him and continued on with her business until she heard a small click and the window opened. Kira went in first and was soon joined by Iruka.
"Iruka you may not be able to understand right now but you will soon. Do you remember that black-haired boy that was with Kakashi?" Kira looked at Iruka before continuing, "After I left I walked around a bit before walking into an alley where I transformed back to myself. You see I knew I was being followed so I chose to show him who I really was. I know it was foolish but I wanted someone to spread the news that I was back."
Iruka listened to her as she explained about her encounter with Sai. He merely nodded knowing that even if someone had been there and tried to stop her she still would have done it; he leaned against the wall and watched how she laid herself down on the Hokage desk in a way that made any man weak in the knees.
Ten minutes later they heard fourteen sets of feet approaching, most of them were stomping down the hallway. "Finally," Kira muttered as she rolled onto her side and soon they could hear Tsunade yelling at the poor souls that followed her.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BLATHERINE ABOUT! NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHTS!"
"But lady Tsunade this is a concern for the entire village. I mean we don't even know where she is," they heard a light female voice speak up and Iruka realized it was Sakura's.
A moment later the door opened and everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at Kira who was carefully watching all of them as they slowly filed into the office and formed a protective shield around Tsunade who heaved a heavy sigh.
