Kyoko in Naruto Shippuden

New Assignment

(Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn and Naruto are not mine.
"Talking"
'thinking'
Enjoy!)

Naruto was jumping from one foot to another, "Baa - chan, am I really going to Ame as a representative?"

Tsunade nodded, "Yes, you have two missions. One is to find out if Nagato is really hiding the S - rank shinobi."

Naruto perked up, "Oooh! Oooh! He is, he is. He told me, he is housing them to keep an eye on them and to make sure they do not cause any trouble."

Tsunade twitched, "Did he name them?"

Naruto, "No, he mentioned they signed a sealed contract where they are not allowed to speak each other's names even under duress."

Tsunade sighed on hearing that, "I see. Very well focus on the second objective then. Figure out their reason for going after the tailed beasts. We cannot have one nation holding on to multiple beasts at a time. Though technically Suna has a baby Shukaku now, but still."

Naruto nodded, "I understand."

Itachi pat his shoulder, "Do not fret, Naruto - kun. You will not be doing this alone."

Naruto nodded, "Right! You are right."

Sakura, "That's the spirit. This is a four month mission and we will succeed. Just watch!"

Tsunade, "Alright then, you three. Go get ready, you are leaving tomorrow morning."

Sakura nodded, "Yes Hokage - sama."

Itachi, "Understood Hokage - sama."

Naruto, "I will bring back a souvenir for you, baa - chan."

Tsunade (⁠ノ⁠｀⁠Д⁠'⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻, "Do not call me that."

Naruto grinned as he rushed out while Itachi smiled at the hyper blond and Sakura stifled her laugh. This was not the first mission they had with the hyper blond though it was the first diplomatic one. Tsunade - sama was slowly making Naruto take part in the political arena despite the fact he was one of the main medical Shinobi in Konoha. Itachi and Naruto waved goodbye to Sakura as she left in her apartment's direction, which was located close to the T & I office. The blond remembers the day Sakura moved out from her parents home, her father was crying and bragging about his smart baby. Sakura had turned really pink as her hair as she tried to get her father to stop wailing.

Mr Haruno was a retired Shinobi but it did not mean he stopped training, he still had a muscled figure and helped Sakura move her items to her apartment. Sakura's mom is a civilian and despite her reservations about the Shinobi lifestyle it did not stop her from supporting her only daughter from becoming a Shinobi. When Sakura had eventually announced she would mostly be stationed inside the village the relief in her eyes was obvious. When her daughter became a Chunin, Mebuki had feared that one day she would get the news that her little girl had been KIA during a mission. It was a very common way for shinobi to die and the main reason many civilian families dreaded and yet were proud when their kids became Shinobi.

Naruto stopped outside his own apartment which was closer to the Uchiha district, "I will see you later Itachi - nii."

Itachi nodded, "Of course Naruto - kun. I will meet you at the gate."

Naruto smiled, "Yes, say hello to Shisui - nii for me."

Itachi nodded and left for the district, it was no longer an estate especially with how the Clan had grown the past decade. Many civilian Uchiha had opted to marry outside the Clan especially after the thorough genetics session Sasuke had forced the entire Clan to attend. It was hilarious and cute watching his baby brother order the older Clan members around and if they disagreed well that's what their parents were for. Itachi shook his head away from those memories and waved at the young children who were greeting him. The kids squealed at the waves and giggled as they played among themselves.
