(The Kazekage tower.)

'Sabaku no sakura no ki no oashisu that would be the perfect place' Gaara thought to himself excitedlly before the relazation that he would need someone or rather someone's to distract her while he got everything ready and then lead her there, Gaara pondered on just who could do this task without suspison, there was Bara and the other nurse's from the hospital but Sakura wouldn't be working the day he would propose (he'd make sure of that.) so that could raise suspison, then there where the sand shinobi but most of the female shinobi where gone on missions and Gaara didn't want one of the male shinobi to hit on her so they where out of the question too. Gaara sighed in frustration that only left his siblings which he didn't trust Kankuro to keep his big mouth shut and shinobi from Kohona, Gaara's head shot up and he grabbed a peice of paper to write a letter to the hokage. 'Kami why didn't I think of it before." Gaara thought as he begain the letter to the hokage.

Dear Tsunade,

As you know I plan on proposeing to Sakura but I need someone to distract her while I get everything in place and then lead her to the oasis Sabaku no sakura no ki no oashisu where I plan on propoesing at. I would like to request that you send Ino Yamanaka, Tenten Hyuga, and Hinata Uzumaki along with the former members and sensei of team seven to aid my sister Temari in this task.

-Gaara.

Gaara attached the letter to a messenger bird and told it to go to the hokage before heading over to the hospital to pick Sakura up from work.

(Over in Kohona, the Hokage Tower.)

Tsunade told ANUBA ninja's to fetch the following people Naruto and Hinata Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, Tenten Hyuga, Sai, Ino Yamanaka, and Sasuke Uchiha. Tsunade sat back in her chair and waited for said shinobi to arrive counting down from ten in her head. Right as the famous slug sannin hit ten there was a rapp on the door followed by Naruto barging in before she could say 'enter' the others following behind him. Tsunade smiled at the seven ninja before her. "Alright I have a mission for you guy's and declineing isn't an option got it?" Tsunade said waiting for the seven of them to nod the agreement. "Ok you guy's are gonna go to Suna and help Temari distract Sakura for the day and then lead her to an oasis called Sabaku no sakura no ki no oashisu understand?" Tsunade relayed to the ninja.

"Sure but Granny- Tsunade why are we doing this exactally?" Naruto asked voiceing the question all seven of them where wondering.

"Because Naruto, the kazekage plan on proposeing to Sakura and wants it to be a surprise for her..." Tsunade said before she was cut of by the squealing of Ino, Hinata, and Tenten. "Now your to leave right away I took the liberty of prepareing a bag for each of you already there over there and they have your names on them grab 'em on your way out. your dismissed." Tsunade said after the girls stopped squealing.

"Hai!" The seven shinobi shouted grabbing their bags and heading for Suna.

(The next morning.)

Sasuke was beyound pissed and extreamally jealous though you couldn't tell because of his calm face he was seething on the inside. 'Ugh I can't belive that monster's going to take away my Sakura and I can't do anything about it! Damnit! I hope she say's no when he proposes.' Sasuke screamed inside his head as they reached the Suna gates and heading to the Kazekage Tower.

After arriveing in Gaara's office Gaara briefed the seven leaf ninja and his sister and though surprised at the presence of Sasuke kept his face impasive. After explianing the details to them Gaara had Temari show them to the apartments he'd had booked for them and called Ms. Bara and told her to give Sakura the day off and explianed why, with that done Gaara told Kankuro to sub for him tommorrow and went to pick up Sakura.
