Tsunade looked out at the gathered crowd nervously as she swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. She knew that she had to do this, otherwise she'd never hear the end of it from... him...

"Ninjas of Konoha, as the Hokage it is with a heavy heart that I come to you today," Tsunade began as she looked out over the assembled masses. "Due to a wager with a member of the Konoha ninja forces... which I lost... I'm afraid I have to institute a new uniform stipulation."

As the murmurs of panic and dismay echo through the masses, she glared at the still beaming man she made a bet with. She couldn't believe how foolish she'd been accepting that wager, but she had three of a kind! Anyone would have accepted a bet like that.

As the crowd settled down, she waved her hands for attention. Once she'd gotten it, she sighed heavily. "Let me explain a little bit first... this uniform modification will only occur from October 7th, to October 13th..."

As the noise rippled through the crowd again, she winced as the mention of the Kyuubi's defeat festival was mentioned. This would not go over well at all, she could just tell that right now.

"Yes, ninjas of Konoha, during the week surround the Victory over Kiyuubi festival, all ninjas are to wear a new uniform," Tusnade continued before taking a deep breath, and bracing herself for the reaction. "During that week, all ninjas are to don bright orange clothing, with pink or red trim, and half-face masks. Those days are to be named Team Kakashi memorial week."

As the cries of outrage and dismay echoed through the crowd she glared solidly at Sasuke Uchiha. Damn him... damn him for wanting to honor his teammates like this. Damn him for coming back after they'd been killed. Damn him for everything.
