The first thing Shikaku does is head straight to the Aburame compound seeking out Shibi and finding him in his office "Shibi what would you say to an arranged marriage between Shikamaru and Sakura" Shikaku asks leaning against the doorway watching in amusement as Shibi's head snaps up "What" Shibi hisses out glaring at the scarred man from behind his sunglasses "An arranged marriage" Shikaku asks nonchalantly while staring around Shibi's office "I didn't hear you just ask that Shikaku-san" Shibi snaps angrily before dismissing the man.

Confused at the hostility Shibi was giving him Shikaku tries another tactic "What if I told you this was something Sakura wanted" Shikaku watches Shibi closely "I mean weren't you going to arrange a marriage for her anyway" Shikaku continues 'Aha got him' Shibi had just twitched "What are you getting at Nara" Shibi looks up again "I think Sakura would truly be happy if you let this arranged marriage happen" Shikaku sighs finally "Fine we'll set up details tomorrow now please show yourself out Nara" Shibi snaps and Shikaku hightails it out of the Aburame Compound.

Meanwhile Sakura had found Hidan and attached herself to his side with a happy squeal "Hey fucking bitch I take it the blonde told you about the 3 year training excursion we'll be going on" Hidan curses with a grin "Of fucking course" Sakura gives a cheer "Your a bad influence on her" Kisame speaks up finished with his spar "Hey I didn't teach that fucking shit to her she already had that damn mouth before I fucking met her fishface" Hidan swings around violet eyes narrowed in anger.

"Point taken" Kisame grimaces before walking away to challenge Itachi to another spar well he would have if it hadn't been for Kakashi appearing in his path "Those of the disbanded Akatsuki are wanted in the Hokage's office" he addresses them before poofing away in a puff of smoke "You should start going round telling people about the training excursion" Hidan peers down at his apprentice before following Kisame towards the Hokage Tower while Sakura freezes in realisation 'Oh my god Naruto would have a conniption fit if I didn't tell him about this' she thought worriedly before quickly locating said persons chakra and speedin off in his direction.

Seeing Naruto, Sakura calls out to him trying to slow down but she was going so fast that she slammed right into Naruto with a sickening thud "Owwwwwwwww Sakura-chan what the heck was that for" Naruto whines rubbing his forehead that was quickly forming a black bruise she had cracked his forehead with her own Sakura sits back on her knees with a grimace "I'm sorry Naruto was going to fast I have something to tell you" she holds her hand filled with healing chakra to his forehead and quickly heals the crack "What's that Sakura-chan and geez you have a hard forehead you know" Naruto let out a chuckle.

"I'll be going out of the village with Hidan on a 3 year training expedition isn't that cool Naruto" Sakura's eyes brighten and twinkle "That's cool pervy sage is gonna take me out of the village as well hey maybe we'll meet each other while out there" Naruto waves his arms excitedly glad to have someone to share his news to "Awesome-sauce" Sakura hops up pulling Naruto up with her "Well I've got a lot more people to tell so I'll see you later Naruto" Sakura gives hims a wave and speeds off looking for anyone she might now so that she could share her news with them.

"Anko-sensei" Sakura yells spotting the purple haired woman as she was about to enter the tea shop she frequented often "Pinky have you come to join me for tea and dango's" Anko calls out to Sakura gesturing for the girl to join her "Sure I have something to tell you why not over tea" Sakura shrugs taking her place next to Anko and entering the tea shop together looking for an empty table and finally spotting one at the back of the restuarant Anko places their order before facing Sakura "You said you had some news for me" she asks.

"Yeah Anko-sensei I'm sure you've heard the news from Lady Tsunade about the Akatsuki being disbanded and the members being intregrated into the village" Sakura asks first "Yea was at the meeting earlier pinky so what exactly are you getting at" Anko stares at Sakura in confusion "Well Hidan is taking me out of the village for 3 years to train" Sakura announces "Ah well train hard and get strong Sakura" Anko stares at her student with pride in her eyes "Thank you Anko-sensei I'll be heading home now" Sakura waves and leaves without eating it was hard saying goodbye.

Heading home Sakura waves to people here and there getting a small smile back from a few before she gets to the forest walking along the well worn path to the Aburame Compound Sakura reminisces about her memories of this path and the first time she ever walked down it before she finally reaches the door and entering the foyer she is greeted by Keiko "Welcome home Sakura-sama, Shino is still out training and Shibi-sama is still working on some paperwork in his office so it will just be you tonight at dinner" the older woman explains quickly to Sakura.

"Oh that's ok Keiko-san I think I'll just head to bed early I'm not very hungry" Sakura says looking forlorn "Is everything alright Sakura-sama" Keiko furrows her eyebrows in concern "Oh well I'm going on a 3 year training expidition outside the village in a few days it's not easy say goodbye to people" Sakura sighs tiredly trudging up the stairs and into her room while Keiko watched her pulling open her door Sakura throws her sandals off and pads across her room barefoot to curl up on her bed a few minutes later Sakura was out for the count.
