When she reached the main gate to the village, Sakura stopped to take a breath. Izumo and Kotetsu looked at each other, but Izumo shrugged his shoulders. He then got up. He went to walk to Sakura, but before he reached her, she took off. Sakura knew she had to inform Lord Hokage about Kimiko.
As she weaved around the villagers, Sakura for some reason looked to the right side, and that is when she ran into someone. Asuma felt something hit him from behind, and when he turned, he seen Sakura spread out on the ground. Asuma's team looked around their sensei, and seen Sakura, Asuma then went to help her up.
"You ok, Sakura?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yes, I'm ok. Thanks for helping me, Asuma-sensei." Said Sakura.
"Your welcome. Now tell me, where's the fire?" Asuma asked.
"Sorry, Asuma-sensei, no time to talk." Said Sakura.
Sakura then took off running again. Asuma asked Shikamaru if he could use his shadow possession to stop her. Shikamaru shook his head no; he said that with so many people around. Asuma thought about it, and knew what would happen if someone stepped in the way.
Sakura soon got the building where the Hokage's office was, and went inside. Once she was on the top floor, and ran down the hall to the Hokage's office. When she reached the door, she stopped, and went to knock. That is when the door opened, and she was looking Kakashi in the face.
"Sakura, did you need me for something?" Kakashi asked.
"Um, no. I needed to tell Lord Hokage something." Said Sakura.
Lord Hokage heard Sakura, and told Kakashi to let her in. Kakashi moved to the side, and waved her inside. Sakura walked passed Kakashi, and continued till she stood in front of Lord Hokage.
"What did you need to tell me Sakura?" Lord Hokage asked.
"I came to tell you that Naruto and I found Kimiko." Said Sakura.
"Where?" Lord Hokage asked.
She explained to him what she was doing with Naruto in the forest. Then told him how they took a couple of paths because Naruto was curious, and most of all, how they found Kimiko in the ravine. Lord Hokage was wondering what she would be doing out there all alone.
"Kakashi, gather a few Jonin, I want you there as well. I plan to go out to this ravine to see what is going on." Said Lord Hokage.
"Sir, is that a good idea?" Kakashi asked.
"Maybe not, but I want to know what is going on with her." Said Lord Hokage.
"Very well then, sir. I will get a few of us together, I'll be back soon." Said Kakashi.
Kakashi then left, and Sakura looked at the Hokage.
"I was wondering, Lord Hokage. What do you think she's doing out there?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know, Sakura." Said Lord Hokage.
Lord Hokage then went back to doing some paperwork, while he waited. Sakura had found a place to sit down, that wasn't in the way. Kakashi soon caught up with the first of the ones he wanted.
"There you are." Said Kakashi.
Asuma who was about to head out the front gates with his team, looked around to see who spoke. Ino looked up, and told her sensei. Asuma then looked up to see Kakashi.
"Hey, what's going on?" Asuma asked.
"Need you for something." Said Kakashi.
"And that is?" Asuma asked.
"All I need at the moment is a yes, or no." said Kakashi.
"It would be easier to give you that answer if I knew what it was all about." Said Asuma
"I have to get a few more people, I'll explain then. Just meet at the building with the Hokage's office." Said Kakashi.
