Chapter 12 A special mission reinforcements to the rescue

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but perhaps someday I will.

Bold letters inner Sakura.

It has been five days since Sakura and Ino's arrival at the hidden mist village and in five days a lot of things can change, at least in the kunoichis training development both of them have improve at a certain level. Seiryu taught Sakura water elemental ninjutsu and ice elemental ninjutsu, he was amaze how she was able to perform it in the first try it seems it was true about her having perfect chakra control. He has also taught a few moves in taijutsu which she quickly learned it not surprising him about her ability to learn things quickly, along that in just five days their friendship has become tight. They have become great friends like they have been friends for years, Sakura has kept her temper in check not wanting to cause another incident like last time and she has also apologize to him for acting like a brat. So far Seiryu has been a great teacher she was amaze how smart he is it seems Genjuro have really done a great job in training him.

Ino has also been improving thanks to Ryo he has been teaching her water elemental jutsu along with some archery lessons, so far her aim still needs work because she hasn't even manage to hit the target but like they say practices makes perfect. Ryo has also been teaching her how to make arrows and bows, at this Ino was very skilled she learned quickly how to make archery weapons. Like Seiryu and Sakura Ino and Ryo have become the best of friends their friendship have become close very close, both enjoy each other company and Ino has like the training so far not to mention that she had many chances to check him out. Both Seiryu and Ryo have agreed that they have pretty good students; they believe that that they will become, the best kunoichis in Konoha.

However things in the village became a little depressing in the past five days at least for Seiryu, it's been exactly a week in half that Genjuro left for his mission and he's still hasn't return he was worry sick. Ryo has already went to contact the Mizukage if there's be any word from Genjuro, but unfortunately he didn't know nothing of him. Right now the ANBU was busy with missions of their own along with the hunter ninjas, they both knew their sensei better than anyone and they could tell something was wrong he would never return late from a mission even if it was an A rank mission. They will have to wait and hope they will get news from him soon, right now they put they thought aside and focus their training on their new students.

Sakura was walking the busy streets of the village looking for Seiryu he told her exactly the restaurant where he was, after another day of hard training he invite her to eat at one of his favorite places to eat. She was happier when he told her that the ramen is very good so it was enough for her to come to the place, after walking for minutes she finally saw the restaurant looking at the sing called "The Grill Palace". She smiled while hearing her stomach attacking her oh yeah she was hungry all right and she was ready to devour some ramen, she enter the place looking around until she spotted him she smile but her smile quickly faded as soon as she notice that he wasn't alone. Seiryu was in the restaurant all right but he was talking to a woman, a woman who seems to be the same age as Seiryu with brown hair tied on a single braid with onyx eyes wearing a red kimono outfit it seems that she works in the restaurant.

At that moment something triggered inside of Sakura her smile was gone and out of nowhere anger felt on her system, she clench her fists tightening them so much that they turn red and she growl on the inside like a wild animal ready to kill its prey. She didn't understand why she was angry just what the hell was wrong with her, why did she feels like killing the waitress who was talking to Seiryu it got her even angrier that the two were laughing together like they enjoy each other's company. She try to calm down she took a deep breath she didn't wanted her temper to get the better of her again, there was no reason for her to be angry well maybe there is a reason but she didn't know why. She finally went to the two hiding any possible sings of ager in her, she didn't know why she was angry all of the sudden but she knew one thing she didn't like the woman who was talking to the mist jounin one bit.

Seiryu looked at Sakura with a smile" oh Sakura you're finally here what took you so long?"

"I guess the village is pretty big and I got lost on the way sorry about that" she said hiding the amount of anger in her gaze fell on the on the raven brown haired woman he was enjoying talking to while her inner self was pretty pissed.

(Who the hell is this BITCH?)

"Yeah I guess the village is big the same thing happen to me the first time I came here I got lost" Seiryu said with a silly grin he realize that Sakura has been glaring at the waitress, he thought that he was rude for not introducing Sakura to his friend" oh that's right Sakura let me introduce you to my friend Subaru-chan"

(Subaru-chan?) Sakura thought while she flinched in anger at the mention of the suffix she didn't like where this was going.

The waitress smile at the pink hair kunoichi" hello Sakura-san please to meet you so you're the kunoichi from Konoha"

"Yes I'm please to meet you too Subaru-san" she force a cordial smile.

(I hate her)

"Um…by the way how do you and Seiryu know each other?" Sakura ask expecting to hear that they just met.

Seiryu blink confuse he wasn't expecting Sakura to ask such a question it really came out of nowhere, Subaru on the other hand smile she didn't saw no harm in telling her" well Seiryu-kun and I know each other since we were eight he's a great friend of mine"

Sakura felt like punching her sending her to the other side of the world for two reasons, first the fact she has called him Seiryu-kun and the fact that they know each other for years. Once again she was trying to calm down not letting her temper get a hold of her, she needed prevent doing something she would love to do but she will regret it later. Why was she acting like this why did she hated Subaru so much, she doesn't look like a bad person but a kind and sweet girl she count from one to a hundred in order to calm her anger. Seiryu saw the reaction of Sakura and got worry she look like a volcano ready to erupt which it wasn't a good sign, maybe she was still feeling angry about waking up so early in the morning for the training.

"Sakura you okay?" ask a worry Seiryu.

"Huh what….I'm fine Seiryu" she smile at him and this time it was a true smile because the mist jounin was obviously worry about her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah yeah nothings wrong with me well are we going to eat?"

"Okay then I will order your meals please enjoy your stay at the Grill Palace" Subaru said while leaving while they got seated on the table, of course ignoring some of the glares the people were giving to Seiryu.

(Good riddance bitch) inner Sakura said in a growl.

"So what did you order for me?" ask Sakura feeling like her usual self

"What do you think does the word ramen rings any bell to you" Seiryu said with a smirk.

She giggle with a small shade of pink appeared on her cheeks" no surprise there I guess I never realize ramen was so delicious I have been eating different brand of ramen and some of them were very good while others were very poor, but there's only one ramen which is the best in the entire ninja nations"

"Really which one is that?"

"Ichiraku's ramen it's simply the best of the best there is no ramen like it in the world"

Seiryu chuckle looks like Sakura was a maniac for ramen, they stood quiet for a couple of minutes before Sakura spoke again she needed to be careful what she was about to ask him though.

"Seiryu?"

"Yeah what is it?"

She looked a little nervous before talking"….about Subaru-san you two seem to be quite close…."

Seiryu was surprise to hear this once again that question came out of nowhere" yeah you can say that Subaru-chan she's special"

Sakura was once again in an angry mood while hiding it of course with the perfect faced she could make, while on the inside inner Sakura was hitting was smashing her head on a wall cursing and swearing a lot.

(I really hate that bitch)

"So she's that special to you?" she asked only this time she was holding with all her strength the urge to cry not knowing why.

He smile at Sakura much to her disappointment" yeah she's one of my precious people she's one of the few people who actually accepted me as a human being that's why she's special to me"

Hearing that Sakura dispel the thought of crying or even feeling angry now she understood why Subaru was so special to him, because she accepted for who he was and not for what he carried. She felt happy for him and here she thought that everyone in the village hated him guess she was wrong, maybe staying in the mist village wasn't going to be a bad idea after all. She smile remembering about Naruto how many people had that accepted him for being who he is and not for being the container of the Kyubi, but she knows that was possible because of the law that the third Hokage made of the adults not telling the truth to their children about the Kyubi's attack on Konoha otherwise would have turn different.

Seiryu looked at her who looked like she was deep in thought and smile" I guess you understand about that a little after all your teammate Naruto was a jinchuurikki"

Sakura nodded" yes I do….more than you can imagine" she thought about Naruto's past and all of the good things he did for the leaf village and his sacrifice to try and bring a certain traitor back just to fulfill a promise to a certain selfish pink hair teammate.

"That's good anyway Sakura there's something I want to ask you"

"Yeah what is it?"

"Earlier when Subaru-chan was here you seem…..well how can I say this….kind of….angry"

She was shocked how did he find out she has try so hard to hide every hint of anger she had for the waitress she remain calm there was no point in getting all work up" what why would I be angry?"

"I don't know you seem angry the way you were looking at Subaru-chan you were glaring daggers at her talk about if looks could kill"

Suddenly Sakura got an idea" oh that…..I'm sorry I guess I was a bit upset but it wasn't because of Subaru-san I was thinking of something else, about the past things that I'm not proud in doing"

Seiryu look pretty convince by her lie" oh really so you weren't mad at Subaru-chan that's good I mean she's a good person she would never hurt no one"

"I know she looks like a great friend" she said with a smile while her inner self was crackling her knuckles.

(CHA I want to kill her)

"I'm sorry Seiryu for making you think that I dislike Subaru-san I'm sure you two have already go out as a couple" she was surprise at the last part it slip from her tongue but she was dying to ask him that.

Seiryu blink in surprise" what….you think that Subaru-chan and I are a couple Sakura were only good friends nothing more I already told you that I don't have a girlfriend I don't have the time either" (and besides no woman would love a demon container)

Sakura gasp" you mean….you guys aren't dating"

"Yeah were just friends that's all"

Sakura felt like an idiot she felt so embarrassed and ashamed, why did she have to jump to conclusions that they were a couple more importantly why did it matter to her if Seiryu was interested in Subaru in being more than a friend. She felt like banging her head on the table for being so stupid why did she even thought that there was something going on between the two, she wished she didn't have to act like such a grouch thinking that she hated Subaru for being Seiryu's friend.

She gazed at the ground while Seiryu got worry" I see my bad for saying that comment I'm sorry Seiryu"

"No it's all right Sakura you don't have to apologize I'm not angry with you"

That's when Subaru returned with their dishes" here you go one bowl of fried rice with shrimp for Seiryu-kun and one bowl of miso ramen for Sakura-san" she place their plates on the table.

"Thanks Subaru-chan"

"Subaru-san I…….I feel like we weren't properly introduce I was thinking about something else and I wasn't paying attention to you so I'm sorry"

"What it's okay I guess Sakura-san" Subaru said confuse she didn't know what Sakura was talking about.

"No how about we introduce ourselves again" she smile while getting up from her seat and offering her hand" I'm Haruno Sakura a medic ninja and chunin from Konoha"

Subaru smile" Ishida Subaru I work here at the Grill Palace" she took her hand and both smiled feeling like this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Seiryu was confuse the entire time he had no idea why Sakura wanted to introduce herself again, he understands if she was thinking about something else maybe she felt bad about not paying attention to her. Hesaw as they broke the handshake and smile at each other looks like they were getting along already; Sakura got seated back in her seat and took a pair of chopsticks ready to eat her ramen.

"Well I'll see you guys later enjoy the meal" Subaru said as she left the table.

They started eating their food Sakura was back to normal she was all happy no longer feeling angry because Subaru was just a friend of Seiryu and nothing more, although she didn't know why she felt so angry with her in the first place she continued to eat her ramen and enjoy the great taste. Seiryu enjoy as he eats the rice with his chopsticks he truly loves the food of this restaurant, suddenly he stop eating thinking about Genjuro he still hasn't return from his mission what could be keeping him from coming back.

Sakura stopped eating her ramen noticing Seiryu's expression along with the fact that he stop eating" what's wrong Seiryu?"

"It's nothing" he smiled at her while he got back to eat.

The pink hair kunoichi didn't believe him but she decided to continue eating and ignore it for now, although she had a good idea what was bothering him.

(He must be down about Genjuro-sama he still hasn't return from his mission)

(Sensei why haven't you come back what's going on out there?)

Archery training field

Ino was having another archery lesson as she prepare to fire an arrow with her bow which Ryo customize design for her, he watched carefully seeing her student aiming the arrow at the target sing which was very far from their position. Ino focus on the target far ahead aiming the arrow so it can hit the bulls eye, she finally fire the arrow hitting a tree next to the target she sighed she still hasn't gotten the hang of it.

"Not bad Ino at least this time you didn't killed a bird" Ryo said in humorous tone.

The bleach blond sighed" yeah but my aim is still lousy Ryo I don't think I'm cut out to be an archer"

"Don't say that I know you have the potential to become a great archer you just need to focus your aim more here I'll help you this time"

He then took a hold of her bow while touching her hand he pulled her closer making sure he help her aim the arrow, he didn't know that Ino was blushing for having him so close to her right now she didn't care if she hits or missed the target. Ryo have to be calm he was feeling the warmth of Ino's hand and her body close to his, he made a silent gulp while blushing a little he focus in helping her aim the arrow at the target rather than focusing on her body.

"That's right just aim at the target forget about everything that surrounds you and only focus on the target nothing else and when you're ready you shoot"

(I think it's going to be hard to forget about my surroundings Ryo) Ino thought while blushing as she took a quick glance at him how closed he was to her.

"Okay steady…..steady……and…..shoot"

Ino fire the arrow and this time it hit the target Ryo smiled at her" hey not bad you actually hit the target not a bulls eye bit it was still good"

"I can't believe I hit the target" she said while looking at the target.

"Yeah all you need is some practice and you'll turn into a pro like me after all I was the best in archery class"

"Oh really then I guess I'm very lucky to have you as my teacher I really need a lot of practice in archery but it's been easier to learn water element ninjutsu"

"That's right you have learn a few water jutsus I guess it depends at how good you are in chakra control and you're very good at it"

"Well not as good as Sakura she has her chakra control is perfect she was always the straight A's student at the academy, so are we going to head back now"

"Yeah I guess we should take a break and continue later come on I promise Seiryu we will meet them at the academy Sakura must be with him"

"Duh of course she's with him it's very obvious" she giggle while Ryo raised an eyebrow.

"I know Sakura is with him because he's training her but why are you giggling about that?"

The platinum blond gave a sheepish grin holding back another giggle she didn't know is she should tell him about Sakura's suppose crush on Seiryu, but this was Yamanaka Ino and well she wasn't good in keeping secrets so what the hell might as well be guilty in the crime of telling Ryo.

"Ryo I'm going to tell you a little secret but you can't tell no one especially Sakura"

"Oh a secret I can keep secrets what is it?"

Ino grin" well it's about Sakura you see she likes….Seiryu" she giggle while Ryo look stun at the revelation.

"No way…….Sakura really likes him….are you sure?" he ask in disbelief.

"Yup but she's completely unaware that she likes him very much she's in deep denial"

Ryo finally smile" I can't believe a girl will feel that way about Seiryu it's about damn time after everything he's been through he deserves happiness more than anyone, so how did you figure out?"

"Hello I'm her best friend I know her since we were little I know her better than anyone, besides she told me before coming here that she has a small crush on him but hey this is Sakura were talking about so she's completely clueless that she loves him"

Ryo chuckle"whoa who would think someone will like him that much wait till Seiryu finds out he will be quite surprise indeed" he smirk devilish.

"Now hold it right there you told me that you weren't going to say a thing about this to anyone" Ino said with a warning glare.

"And I won't tell him but when I least expected my tongue might slip and…." He didn't finish because Ino grab him by his collar.

"Listen to me Ryo you obviously don't know how angry Sakura can get and if she finds out that I tell you that she likes Seiryu she will kill us both do you hear me, me for telling you and you for telling Seiryu"

"Whoa hey okay I get it I won't tell him a thing Ino calm down, you really are scare of Sakura aren't you"

"You have no idea" the Yamanaka reply pale" a long time ago we were eating in a dango bar and I accidentally trip and I spilled green tea all over Sakura's red shirt" she gulp in terror.

"And what happened?" ask a suspense state Ryo.

"Let's just say that Sakura had to work in the hospital full time so she could pay the owner of the dango bar for the destruction of the bar"

Ryo's eyes widened in pure shock" no way she destroyed the whole bar"

"Yeah she destroy it with just one punch she was really angry after all the red shirt is her favorite"

"Holy crap now I know to never make her angry Seiryu must really be careful what he says to her, but then again Seiryu has his temper too although I doubt he would go that far (unless Fenrir posses him)"

Ino giggle" I know you see Sakura told me remember the incident that happened a few days ago at our house that she ended up chasing Seiryu for throwing cold water on her, well she told me that Seiryu pined her to a tree and he tame her temper he actually didn't give a crap how angry she was I never thought I'd see the day that someone would stand up to her like he did"

Ryo smirk" Seiryu is going to be her teacher either she's very lucky or damned for life he's very strict when it comes to training he's really going to work her out till she drops"

"That won't matter to her she has trained with Tsunade-sama before and believe she's one of the most strict teachers in Konoha, Seiryu's training will probably be a walk in the park to her compare to the training that she had to go under Tsunade-sama"

"I hope your right, so how about we go to meet up with Seiryu and Sakura at the academy"

She nodded as they left the archery training field.

Near the mist academy

Seiryu and Sakura have been walking and it has turn into a silent walk, Sakura didn't like to be quiet for so long especially when they were talking a lot when they left the restaurant and it wasn't for Seiryu to stay quiet for too long. She didn't like this silence one bit, she was worry about Seiryu and she knew the reason why he was so quiet. One minute he was talking to her as his normal self and suddenly he stop talking and became so silent, it seems Genjuro's absence has been affecting him a lot she needed to something to cheer him up. They finally reach the large building ahead which was the mist academy where future mist ninjas are born, Sakura's eyes hardened looking at the school she remembers what Zabuza said when team seven first encounter him telling them about the genin graduation test in the mist academy to kill one another.

She erase her thinking looking back at the mist jounin who was still quiet" Seiryu were here"

Seiryu only nodded he knew they standing in front of the academy they were going to wait for Ino and Ryo to arrive, they decided to take the day off from the hard training and just hang out. Sakura couldn't take it anymore this silence was killing her with boredom; if she continues to be quiet she was going to scream, she gaze at the academy building trying to find a topic for conversation.

"So this is the mist academy I heard about the genin test it's completely different from the genin test that they gave us at Konoha" she look at him and he was still quiet not paying attention to her she finally sighed in defeat" look Seiryu I know why you're so down, it's Genjuro-sama isn't it?"

Seiryu finally snap back to reality hearing this, his eyes softened" does it show that much?"

"Let's see you were so quiet too quiet I think it's kind of obvious to be worry about your teacher"

"It's not just that Sakura" he said softly while the pink hair kunoichi look back at him waiting for his explanation" sensei is more than just my teacher he's like a father to me, he was the first person who acknowledge for who I am in this hellhole of a village he took me under his wing and treated me like I was his son. I was never welcome at the orphanage the third Mizukage try to put me there but the people of the orphanage didn't wanted to take care of a demon, so I was always sleeping in the streets or whatever place I could find that was comfortable enough to stay the night"

By now Sakura have gotten closer to him paying close attention to his story she saw Seiryu gave a small smile" every time I woke I was always surrounded by food brand new and it wasn't poison, that's when I realize that somebody was giving me all of this food I was so happy there was someone in this village that actually care for me. Soon I learn that it was sensei the one who was giving me food he was on a mission by the Mizukage to take care of me but in secrecy until I was in the right age to enter the academy and became his student"

"So I'm guessing that you met Ryo at the academy?" she ask with a small smile.

"Yeah he was the only one in the academy who became my friend the rest of the students thought I was annoying and they started calling me loser and dead last, of course I show them how wrong they were when we practice our skills in the exercise program my memories in the academy were good compare to my life in the village"

Sakura stood quiet it was amazing how Seiryu is exactly like Naruto besides being a jinchurikki he was treated like an outcast in the academy, and his personality so similar to the blond knucklehead. She smile he reminded her so much of Naruto and yet he was different because he was more mature and serious when he had to, it was clear to him why she like him so much as a friend that is.

She blushed slightly wanting to continue hearing his story" so you and Ryo graduated in the academy with flying colors right?"

Seiryu became serious while he shook his head" no we failed"

"What that can't be why?" she ask worry.

"We failed the genin test Sakura, you told me that genin test here it's completely different from the one that Konoha gives"

Sakura nodded her eyes downcast" yes it was another thing that Zabuza told me and my team he said that their friends have to fight each other to the death and the last one standing was the one who passed the test that's why the village earned the name the bloody mist village" her eyes widened in terror" no Seiryu don't tell me that you….."

"Yes Ryo and I had to fight to the death along with the rest of the students I will never forget that horrible day, there was so many blood we did what were told to do as part of the test we killed all of them. I didn't wanted to kill all of them even if they have called me names I….I didn't wanted to kill them Ryo was just like me, on that day we regretted doing that massacre until it was the two of us left standing but only one could passed the test"

His hand started shaking the memory was too horrible for Seiryu to remember how he wanted to forget about it and never remember it; Sakura took his hand in a conforming way until he saw a silent tear fell from his eye.

"When it was only just the two of us to fight the chunins in charge of the test acted against the Mizukage's orders and they started attacking me, since I was tire and injure from the other fights I was helpless against them. The chunins then told Ryo to finish me off so he could passed the test they really wanted me dead just like the rest of the village, but Ryo refuse to do it he said that he wasn't going to kill me because I am his best friend and that's when things turn for the worst"

He gazed at Sakura who was horrified by the story and tears were falling from her jade eyes" they told him Sakura they told him that I was the container of Fenrir in order to motivate him and kill me, you see Ryo's parents were killed by Fenrir when it attacked the village so he had a good reason to end my life. I waited for him to kill me I was ready to give up on that day, but he still chose to spare my life because I am his best friend the chunnins weren't happy with his decision and they chose to kill me so they can finally fulfill the village a favor"

"Ryo try to stop them but he was too exhausted to go after them, that's when sensei came with a group of ANBU along with the Mizukage they arrested the chunins for breaking the rules and attempted murder on me not that it matter to them only sensei care for my well being. We failed the test because we left the academy; there was no chance in hell that we were going to fight against each other again, after that sensei took us as his students and things became better for me"

Sakura embrace him from behind sobbing" I'm sorry I'm so sorry I thought your past was horrible but this, it's inhuman I'm sorry Seiryu"

Seiryu accepted her embrace" it's all right Sakura there's no need for you to be apologize to me like I said my life became better when I became sensei's student, Ryo and I became chunins because sensei talk with the Mizukage and after a while we became jounins and finally we have our first students all the way from Konoha"

Sakura wanted to hold him forever and be his pillar of strength but she was feeling embarrassed, pretty soon her cheeks flush and sadly she let him go while drying her tears.

He smiled at her" thanks for listening to my story I know it wasn't pretty to listen to but I feel much better after telling someone about it"

"I'm glad that you told me it proves that I'm your friend right"

"Of course you understand the pain of a jinchurikki because your teammate was one and you are a true friend Sakura"

Sakura blush a little" thanks I'm glad to be your friend"

"Seiryu Sakura"

The two teens turned to see Ryo and Ino running to them" well it's about time you two got here I was wondering what took you so long" Seiryu said.

"Sorry about that but we had a good excuse" Ino said.

"Let me guess you two were making out" Sakura said with a smirk.

Her comment made the two teens blush while Seiryu chuckle in amusement.

"No it wasn't that, Seiryu we were called by Mizukage-sama he has given us a mission and it was sensei the one who requested the mission"

"What are you sure?" ask Seiryu shock.

"Yes he has ask for some reinforcements to aid him in his mission in wave country"

(Wave country?) Sakura thought she started remembering Tazuna, Tsunami and Inari (I hope nothing bad has happened to them)

"Were supposed to leave immediately" Ryo said.

"All right then let's gear up and prepare to leave" Seiryu said.

"But wait what about us?" ask Sakura.

Seiryu smirk" since you two are our students you're coming with us"

"I see then let's go Ino and prepare our gear" Sakura said.

"Right this is a good opportunity to test what we learned so far in the training"

"When you guys are done packing meet us at the village gates in ten minutes" Ryo said.

They nodded and left while Ryo took a quick glance at the academy building he grunted in disgust" this place brings back painful memories"

"I know" Seiryu replied softly.

"I hate this place" Ryo said in a growl.

"I know that too but I hate it even more come on let's go"

At the village gates (ten minutes later)

The group have gear up and prepare all of their weapons ready to leave to their destination which is wave country, Ino has prepare her new bow and her quiver of arrows at least she could train her aim while they were on the road. Sakura was very excited her first mission after her training with Tsunade, now she can show some of the results from her training with Seiryu.

"Well let's go it will take us two days to get to wave country" Seiryu said.

"I wonder why sensei called for reinforcements, there's no way he would be defeated sensei is too strong" Ryo said.

"Yeah he could take on an army of ANBU and survived that's why were running the sooner we arrived at wave the better" Seiryu said.

They nodded the village running focusing chakra on their feet to increase the speed.

"By the way Seiryu" Sakura said getting the attention of the black haired mist jounin" what kind of mission did Genjuro-sama get in wave country?"

Seiryu kept his eyes on the road ahead" it was an A rank mission, the mission was requested by the people of wave country sensei was sent to hunt down a demon that's all we know"

"So Genjuro-sama called us to help him in hunting down the demon" Ino said.

"Probably or maybe there's something more" Ryo said.

"Yeah I feel like that there's more to this that we already know" Seiryu said.

"We'll find out once we arrive at wave" Sakura said.

Seiryu nodded as he continued to run with the group (sensei would never called for reinforcements unless it was an emergency something is wrong, I hope he's all right only one way to find out)
