Haruno Sakura: Hands

Home. 3

"Ino, do you have the updated list?"

The blonde beauty walked out of the shadows and onto the dim light. She was dressed from head to toe in black, her long hair as tied in a high ponytail, moving with her at the smallest action.

Naruto and the rest of Team Seven, equally dressed in black, surrounded a large meeting table. The room was void of any decorations except the oil lamps which dimly lit the room. Naruto sat at the head of the table on a large black leather chair. His expression grim like the rest of the men present.

Ino handed out thick cream colored folders to each member of the team, leaving an equal amount for herself.

Team Seven throughly inspected the contents, memorizing every detail with displeased faces.

"Is there anything that stands out about these garbage people." Naruto splat, his eyes hard.

"They're criminals." Ino replied disgustingly, her own were eyes narrowed. "And soon to be dead men."

"That's obvious." Sai said not bothering to look up. "No one deserves Ugly but us."

"Yeah, but that's just it." Ino said annoyed, she slammed her hands on the table. "These people are on the verge of ruining everything!"

"Hn, how exactly." Sasuke hissed his eyes scarlet red trying to ingrain the names and faces of the men and women. Kakashi did the same with his lone sharigan, but was visibly more relaxed than the other men.

Ino gave an exasperated breathe.

"These guys are planning to break the Silence Act."

They all tensed. Naruto looked ready to kill.

Ino, used to his outbursts stayed calmed.

"Continue." He growled.

"Apparently, the absence of Sakura made them realize that one day she won't be able to come home after a misssion." Ino explained. "So, they've decided to ambush her and demand she chooses someone before her time runs out."

The men were seething. Sasuke unconsciously burned his folder and Sai was openly frowning.

"I've also heard that some are going to protest to Tsunade-sama to remove Sakura of her position as ANBU Op so she can spend all her time in Konoha."

Naruto flipped the table, Ino barely being able to dodge it as it flew past her and into the wall.

"HEY!!"

They all stood up.

"Time to break bones RIGHT NOW!!" Naruto shouted, his kyuubi chakra flaring to life.

"Hn, pathetic vermin." Sasuke unsheathed his sword and electricity ran through it.

"Just like you heh." Sai murmured as he twirled his ink pen around his fingers.

"Oh you son of a-!"

"Wait! If you guys just march over there and beat them Tsunade-sama will become aware of the stolen information we've taken." Ino shouted as she walked in between the dark haired men, separating them. "We'll be discovered."

"Who CARES! These jackasses are selfish!! I don't want them near Sakura-chan!!" Naruto announced, his anger only rising.

A dark voice chuckled, silencing everyone in the room.

Kakashi sat back down, his form relaxed.

"They're other ways to go about this boys."
