"I know that I have no right to insert myself into this conversation" Sakura continues on with a low bow at the ones she had addressed "Your only thinking of the negatives, have you ever thought about how we could utilize their strengths for the benifit of the ninja world I know they are International criminals but they could help us with taking out threats in the near future" she finishes before blinking rapidly "Why do you feel so strongly about them Sakura-san" Mifune asks curiously when it appears she would say nothing else only to be taken a back.
Sakura had dropped her head in shame but when she raised it her eyes were glittering with tears "Their special to me especially Itachi-san and Hidan-san" Sakura smiles sadly she couldn't really explain her exact reasoning for wanting to keep them close it's just whenever she thought of them being put to death her heart ached and she felt sick "Why are they so special" Ay asks with a sneer wondering how someone could ever defend those people Ohnoki nodding along also wondering why the two wait for several minutes before Sakura finally answers their question with a soft laugh.
"I'm not exactly sure but I know that whenever I think of them being put to death my heart aches and I feel sick" Sakura smiles bitterly 'PTSD' the word rings out in Tsunade's mind and if they hadn't been in the middle of a meeting she would have reached forward and pulled the girl into a hug apparently Baki was thinking along the same line because Tsunade saw him shift in his seat and his hands twitch slightly a thud draws her attention onto the Raikage he had sat back in his seat pure bewilderment etched onto his face.
'Why' Ay thought staring at the little pink-haired girl 'They have her under their jutsu' he thought next 'No that's impossible otherwise Tsunade wouldn't have called the meeting' Ay rubbed a hand down his face causing Darui and Cee to share a look "Your certain that the Akatsuki can be reformed into useful shinobi" Ay finally spoke after getting over his shock "Yes that's the whole point of this meeting" Tsunade pressed her lips together in anger "Then fine you have 5 years to integrate them into your village" Ay proposes suddenly causing Tsunade to stare at him in surprise.
"Finally we are getting somewhere" Tsunade huffs out while secretly she was sighing in relief 'Oh thank god Sakura came in handy I'm sure if she hadn't been here this probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly' she thought outwardly keeping calm only to be shocked again when "I'd like to request Sakura train under me for two months" Mifune speaks up suddenly drawing a soft gasp from the girl herself "I'm afraid that's not possible Hidan has approached me and wishes to take her out of the village to train for 3 years" Tsunade shakes her head all while shrugging.
"Then perhaps on the 3 year training excursion the two can visit here" Mifune suggests noticing the interest in Sakura's eyes, looking back Tsunade notices this as well "Very well make sure to remember to tell that to Hidan" Tsunade glares softly at the girl who nods once "Anything else" Tsunade asks already knowing that chaos was about to reign again Baki catching on quickly speaks next "I request that Sakura-san come spend 2 months in my village" looking at Gaara it was clear he fully supported this request "Fine" Tsunade slides down into her chair with a mumbled sigh.
Instead of drawing this out any longer Ay smirks "Let's settle this instead of drawing this out any longer I propose that the girl stay 2 months in each of our villages" Ay calls out getting a nod from the other Kage's who had yet to talk "Alright geez" Tsunade slams her head on the desk and everyone winces at the loud crack that follows a few seconds later mumbled cursing follows and followed by muttered laughing which becomes clearer as Tsunade raises her head causing others to stare at her warily because she was smirking like a crazy person.
Having heard of the Hokage's famous temper Baki wisely keeps silent "If Sakura has to stay in each of your villages for 2 months during those two months at least one shinobi from each of your villages go to the Hidden Rain and help them rebuild the village" Tsunade gives a little grin waiting for them to start complaining about her own request "I don't see a problem with that" Baki is the first to speak again nodding in acquiesce with that the other Kage's agree a couple rather reluctantly and with that the meeting finally came to an end.
The first thing Tsunade did when she stood from her seat was grab Sakura and hug her "Lady Tsunade" Sakura mumbles feeling slightly squished "Sasuke's death really traumatized you didn't it" Tsunade whispers into the top of Sakura's head feeling her nod Tsunade pulls Sakura back to look at her "What do you say we stay here for a few more days and then make the trip back home" she tries to lighten the solemn mood "Yeah that'd be cool Lady Tsunade besides I'm in no hurry to leave the village just yet" Sakura answers sheepishly with a small smile.
"Yes lets not hurry" Tsunade scowls exiting the room holding Sakura next to her drawing a few eyes from the other Kage's who had gathered outside the door "Glad to see you two finally getting along" Shikaku teases with a chuckle causing Tsunade to take a large step away from Sakura with an even bigger scowl on her lips "Mifune-san do you mind if we stay for a few days" Tsunade asks looking everywhere but Sakura "Of course" Mifune nods this prompts the other Kage's to request the same each of them wanting to know more about the girl Sakura.
