Naruto just finished signing papers when Shikamaru approach him.
"Hokage-sama, I was thinking, you've been working a lot and you never had your vacation."
"That doesn't matter. After all, I don't have anything in mind to do in a vacation. Sleep on the house will be enough for me."
"How about going out in the village."
"Are you even listening to me?" Naruto just give up, he knows his advisor will not listen.
"How about you invite your team." Shikamaru suggested.
"And why will I do that?"
"You see, Ino approach me yesterday and told me that Sakura misses her team. She said that she envies our group since we always find time to hang out. She has a point after all."
"But…"
"Are you not missing them? Sakura really seemed to be depressed and no motivation." Shikamaru add exageration.
"Well…"
"And Ino really want Sakura to rest to. Just like you, she's been overworking."
Naruto didn't answer anymore. He's thinking. Is this going to be alright? He's been avoiding them after all. Can he handle this.
"Naruto, I know you want to avoid them, but how will you know if you already move on if you keep avoiding them. " Naruto is still silent. "And that aside, this is for you too, for all of you, all of you need a vacation."
"How many days?" Naruto finally answered.
Sgikamaru looks happy. Finally Naruto agreed. He thought it will take longer to convinced him "5 days."
"5 days? That long? How about the village?"
"You trust me, right? I'll took care of the village." Shikamaru answered confidently.
"I do trust you but.. how about 1 day." Naruto pleaded.
"That won't be enough! How about 4 days."
"That's still too long. How about 2 days? That's final."
"No! 3 days it is. I'll arrange everything. All you have to do is write a letter for them. I'll send it for you."
"What? I'll write a letter? Is it necessarry. How about I'll just send an anbu.
"Yup, with a letter. Besides if the letter comes from the Hokage they will say yes."
Naruto just gave up again. He really can't beat shikamaru in terms of reasons.
"So here's the pen and paper. Write them a letter, this is where you meet." Shikamaru gave him another piece of paper.
"Hashirama State Resort?"
"Yup, it's owned by the Hashirama's and since they have a lot of properties, Tsunade-sama make it a resort. And also, it's outside the village but it's still near, so you won't be worrying."
"Hmmn .." then Naruto started to right.
After the Hokage was done, Shikamaru then send the letters. But the Hokage don't know that Shokamaru has also prepared another letters from him to complete his plans. Each will received 2 letters except Sakura.
...…...….
While at her office in the hospital. An anbu came and gave her a letter sealed with an envelope from Hokage's office. She immediately read it.
Sakura-chan,
