"Hanabi-chan! Hanabi-imouto-chan!"
I turned around. Nee-san was running after me, which was strange. Her petite 155 cm frame was usually seen calmly walking. I raised my eyebrow. This must be urgent. "Hinata-nee-san?" I addressed my sister, my elder by a couple of years. She stopped right in front of me, and just a centimeter taller than I. "Tsunade-sama has important news. All Konoha shinobi must report to her right now!" I nodded. The life of a shinobi was to take directives and carry them out. I sped off to the Hokage Tower.
I turned the knob and rushed in. Most of the available shinobi were there. Tenten-san, Sakura-san, Lee-san, Izumo, Kotetsu, Genma, Shizune-sensei, Iruka-sensei, Kiba-san, Shino-san and the ever eager Naruto-san. The room was slightly noisy because the Godaime wasn't in to demand silence yet. Most of the sounds were emitted by Naruto-san spouting out that the Godaime should be on time while being yelled at by Sakura-san. Everyone looked at the door as it opened. Neji-nii-san and Hinata-nee-san walked in. Naruto-san escaped Sakura-san's grasp and walked over to my sister. It was unusual to see him so calm. What happened suddenly?
"Who isn't here yet, Hinata?" he asked my sister. "Shikamaru." Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. No, it wasn't Hinata-nee-san but the Godaime. "Damn, that lazy shinobi. I'll strip him off his Jounin post if he keeps this up," grumbled the Hokage. "Keep your fake youth on, Old Lady. I'm here. Oh yeah, Suna's mailwoman wanted to join this mission as well. Mendokuse…" grumbled Sarutobi Asuma's apprentice, pointing at the sun-kissed Suna Kunoichi. "It's 'Ambassador', dumb-ass. Suna's Am-bas-sa-dor…" grumbled the slightly annoyed woman.
After lecturing the laziest shinobi in Konoha, the Godaime was finally ready to give us the mission details. She took out a rather thick file. My eyes widened. I know whose file was that. "Godaime-sama, that's the late Sarutobi Konohamaru's file," I pointed out. All eyes fell on me and Tsunade-sama.
"He's not dead. At least, his death is not proven yet … He was… A replacement clone… Sarutobi Konohamaru, is not dead."
