"Soon, I will bloom inside you, and you will become powerful more than you've ever been." Soft and quiet voice said to Sakura. It sounded exactly like her voice, but... more mature. Then, the bright, white light appeared again. "What is all of this!?" Sakura wondered as she covered her eyes with her hands. In no secound, she lost her consciousness again. The soft melody never stopped playing, and it felt too real, even for a dream.

The darkness was once again present. The conscious mind of Sakura was aware of it, and she then began to open her eyes as she saw that she was now in her own bedroom. The early sunny light was peeking through the curtains, enlightening Sakura's bedroom. Fresh and cool temperatures could be present as it made Sakura cover herself more.

Sakura: [Slolwy rubbing her eyes] "Where am I?" [Thinks to herself, her mouth slightly part apart as she tried to let her voice]. Sakura looks at her right side and sees Naruto sitting down on the chair. His head was bent down as he was sleeping while holding a music box that still played soft melody. "So that's where the sound came from..." Sakura sits up as she looks around. The soft melody stopped playing, and Naruto opened his blue eyes. He looks up right to Sakura.

Naruto: [Smiles softly] Sakura-chan, you're awake!
Sakura: [Smiles] I am. [Looks at her music box] I see you were playing with my music box.
Naruto: [Looks at soft pink box] You were mumbling in your dream. It looked like you had a nightmare. So, I thought soft music would calm you down, and it did. [Smiles].
Sakura: [Eyes widening] Wait, I was mumbling...[Thinks to herself] Did you hear me speaking something?
Naruto: [Stares at Sakura] No, you were just mumbling something.

As they stared at each other, they got lost in each other's eyes. But, it was soon interrupted by loud steps approaching the bedroom. Sakura could hear her mother's voice saying; "Wait, you can't just burst inside!". The doors opened wide, revealing it was Lee Rock, a ninja known for his thick eyebrows and amazing taijutsu skills. He was breathing in and out as he looked at both Sakura and Naruto.

Lee: [Inhailing and exhaling] Naruto...Sakura...
Naruto: [Surprised] Bushy brows?
Lee: Get out! [Inhales] Kakashi [exhales] has...new mission for us. It's an emergency!
Sakura: [Eyes wide] Emergency?!

Lee nods his head as he insists on immediate movement. Sakura and Naruto immediately got up as they headed to the doors. But the entrance was blocked by Sakura's parents.

Sakura's father: [Blocking the door]: Wait, wait, wait! Nobody is leaving this house without my permission!
Sakura's mother: [Shaky voice] Sakura, you are supposed to rest! You can't just go on a mission, especially after last night encounter!

Lee was surprised when Sakura's mother said that. He looked at Sakura as he wanted to hear more about 'last night encounter'. Sakura had angry expression on her face as she pushed both of her parents away from the entrance of her bedroom.

Sakura: Let's go, you two!

The three of them ran away as they headed to Hokage's office. While running on their way, Lee looked at Sakura again. He didn't notice any wounds except for a few scratches on her upper arms. Lee becomes curious about the encounter of the last night that Sakura's mother was talking.

Lee: Sakura? What are those scratches on your arm? [Points at scratches].
Sakura: [Taking breath] Not now Lee, we need to see what is going on and what mission waits for us.

Lee nodded while still having his look on Sakura, which caused him to blush slightly. "If someone ever hurts Sakura, I'll kill him!" Lee thought to himself as he thought about his long-time crush. Sakura was hurt by unknown people. It angered him, but he didn't show any of it on his face. After a while, Lee, Sakura, and Naruto get to Hokage office where others were waiting too. There was a Shikamaru, an intelligent ninja who is well known for being genius stucked in a lazy man's body, his team commander Choji and Ino, Sakura's best friend. Tenten and Neji, Lee's commanders, and Sai and Sasuke. Sakura's eyes glanced at Sasuke. He looked cold and uninterested more than ever. His expression reminded her of the days when she was 13, a girl who just stepped in teenagehood and was crazy in love with him. Even though he still had that cold expression back then, it didn't bothered her, but now...She feels like she couldn’t stand seeing him like this everyday, and that feeling is not coming from a place of hate, but rather than a place of empathy. She knew she couldn't change him no matter what she offered, so she just sighed as she focused on what Kakashi had to say.

Kakashi: [Looking at everybody, checking if everybody is present] Good, all of you are here. This morning, [plays with a paper] when I got inside, I've found one interesting note on my desk.

Sakura watched Kakashi play with folded paper note as he stared at all of them. "He doesn't think that some of us wrote it, does it?" Sakura wondered. She looked at Ino, and Ino wondered the same by looking at Sakura.

Lee: What does the note say?
Kakashi: [Doesn't speak for a minute]..."Give me the power of Camellia or else say goodbye to Konoha".
Shikamaru: [Tsk] Power of Camellia? What does that even mean?
Kakashi: [Keeps quiet]...I don't know. The message seems too silly to be taken seriously. But, enemies never sleep, so I think the best-

Lady Tsunade bursts inside the Hokage's office.

Tsunade: You called me, Kakashi?
Kakashi: [Rubs nose bridge] Yes, I need you to find something about this. [Shows Tsunade note].
Tsuande: [Eyes moving]...Camellia? That sounds familiar...
Kakashi: I'm charging you, Tsunade and all girls here to help you look through books in order to find something about Camellia. And you, boys, go and look around in order to find an enemy and prevent him from attack.

"Hai!"

Everyone said out loud as girls headed to the library and boys went out to look for the enemy. Kakashi sat down at his office as she looked at the note.
