I walked into Neji's house. He was being nice enough to let me stay at his house until I got my own place. He walked out to meet me.
"Hey Neji, what's up," I greeted him.
"Hey Kenji, Lady Tsunade would like to see you," he told me.
"Thanks for the heads up," I started to walk into the house, but he blocked the way.
"She wants to see you NOW," he emphasized.
"Alright," I turned and walked in the direction of the Hokage's office.
I walked up to her room and knocked on the door.
"ENTER!" She called out. I did. I walked in and sat down.
"Okay, now that you are all here, I can start this meeting," Tsunade snapped. "Emi, Yumi, Kenji, you are all Jonin, but none of you have worked in a team. To fix this, you will all have be assigned to a team, and since all of the teams are filled, you will have to be make up to a brand new team. You will be teammates and friends, learning together.
"Wait, you mean we have to work together?" Emi asked.
"Hey, come on, it'll be fun. We all have one thing in common. None of us are originally from Konoha, but we live here now. We need to at least give it a chance," Yumi cheerfully told us.
"Yeah Emi, don't be such a sourpuss," I added.
"Shut up Kenji," she snapped.
"ENOUGH!" Tsunade screamed. The three of us shut up immediately.
"And since you are all Jonin you must be taught by a higher rank," Tsuande continued
"Wait a second… What are you saying?" Emi asked.
"The only higher rank higher than a Jonin is a Kage, and the only Kage around here is…" Yumi added
"O that means," I finished.
"Yup, that's right. It's time I taught my own team. As of right now I am forming Team Tsunade." Tsunade proclaimed, laughing happily.
The three of us were silent.
"You will all move into my quarters here, training will start in a few days, so get yourselves settled, and then get ready, because I'm going to bring the pain.
"O joy," Emi muttered.
"Speak for yourself," Yumi retorted, "I finally have a home. I don't have to share a room with Hinata anymore.
"Neji's cool and all, but I don't want to have to mooch off of him anymore," I added.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Emi said.
"Yeah, let's go get our stuff," Yumi exclaimed.
The happy little Kunoichi ran out the door. Emi and I were slower to follow, but we still left with a little bounce.
I thought over what had happened to me in the past three weeks. I met new friends, beat the crap out of a bully, and I now belonged to a team. I thought I was finally happy. I thought I was home.
