Yin and Yang
Chapter 15
Tsunadne looked up when something began to tap on her office window. Sh ehad just gotten done clearing Sasuke's name, and was very tired, not up to dealing with anything at the moment.
She glared a the glass, but froze as she saw the falcon.
"What the hell?" She almost yelled as she stumbled over to the window. She let the bird in and it landed on her desk, looking exausted. Tsunande called for some help as she unravled the scroll tied to the birds leg.
It wasn't very legeble, but just so, as it looked like Garaa had tried to learn how to write in Konoha's laguage, and had used it for the urgency this letter seemed to hold. She was reading it as people came in in a rush.
"Godaime! what is it!?"
"A letter from Garaa sama." Tsunande said. "He has news and he want's to relay the information to us as fast as possible. Gather team Seven. Sai's skills should come in use here."
"Yes ma'am!" The ninja sped from the room to carry out the order, leaving Tsunande to pet the over worked bird slowly.
Not five minutes later, Naruto was leading the team, barging into her office, his face flushed in exitment.
"What is it Tsunande? Huh?"
"Garaa Sama has sent this mesage, already in our writing to ease the flow of information. He wants a team to go to Suna directly to retrieve that information, and I would like you to do that for me. Sai's skills should come in handy, as he can manipulate ink."
"HAI!" Team seven saluted, and Tsunande dissmissed them. she then wrote out a reply, and sent their fastest bird to give the Suna one time to rest. Outside her office, Sai, Sakura, Naruto, and Kakashi made plans to meet at the gates in 10 minutes. Kakashi would inform Sasuke of their whereabouts before he met up with them.
Three Days Later
"Garaa Sama!" Sakura saluted. Garaa looked up from his desk, jade green eyes approving of Tsunande's team choice.
"Right. I would like to get right to the information." Garaa called and in hopped the four Suna girls. Garaa then used his sand to fill up any cracks and openenings to form a sealed barrier, so no one would be able to evesdrop.
"What is it, Sir?"
"I have news of a new Village, very, very far to the north." Garaa said. Cloud sent me a warning, because that most recent grup of theirs through the exam,"
"Yeah?" Naruto' seyes were blazing with the urge to know.
"They were sent on a mission to search out a Missing Nin from their Cloud. They never returned. Nothing of them were found either. They simply vanished. I figured that it would be best, if only three villages knew this at this point. Cloud isn't willing to send anymore ninja, but I would like too. I thought Tsunande Sama would also be willing to send a team."
"We will relay the information to her shortly." Kakashi reasured Garaa.
"Take the girls with you." Garaa said. "If she agree's, you can set out imeadietly."
"Hai!" The girls all said at once. Hunter gave their Kazekage a hug good bye, and the seven rushed out an open window as Garaa recalled the sand.
meanwhile
"Sasuke sama says there is a complication in the plans." Juugo said as the bird on his finger flew off. Suigetsu scoffed.
"What the hell kinda complications could there be?"
"Well, it's the fox." Juugo scratched behind his ears. "It is sealed within his former teammate."
"Why would that be a complication?" Karin asked.
"You tell me." Juugo said, scratching his head. "They used to be really tight."
"Well, he should get used to it." Suigetsu yawned. "This world is a world of tough desicions."
"Not as tough as you would think." Sasuke muttered. All three of his new team members jumped and turned to see Sasuke in the window to their little shelter. " Do you honestly think I'm to weak to choose between my goal and an old team mate?"
"Of course not, Sasuke sama!!" Karin smiled. Sasuke looked out the window.
"Naruto is part of my past and part of the Konoha Village. He wants to become the leader one day, but if thngs go to Madara's plan, he wont see the end of next week." Suigetsu grinned.
"Should we apprehend the twerp and take him to Madara?" Sasuke shook his head.
" Let the Akatsuki deal with him. with the fox inside Naruto, it would be very dificult for us to capture him, let alone keep him confined. The fox's chakra would leak out and envelop him. I've seen it happen.
"This complicates things as he'd be much to strong for us to defeat if we attack Konoha any time soon."
"Oh, that makes sence." Suigetsu muttered. Juugo sat beside Sasuke and looked out the window.
"Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura and their newest mamber will be gone from Konoha for three days. If we cannot attack in that time, we will wait for another chance. Perhaps we will have our promised Demon."
"Perhaps." Juugo replied from Sasuke's feet. Suigetsu returned to polishing his sword, the one he'd stolen from Zabuza's grave, and Karin went to filing things mentally as the sun set over Kanohagakure.
Three days later, a total of six for Team Seven to be missing from Konoha
The eight ninja bowed before Tsunande, and relayed the information Gaara had given them. Tsunande agreed imeadietly, and they shot out of the building to prepare for the trip. Each ninja was assigned an item or two to grab, and they met by the gates in a half hour. Once the packs were made, they shot of a full hour after their orders had been given
None knew that Team Eagle was already on the move, heading to the same place, after the Eighth-Tailed-Beast.
