Everyone was looking at the Sakura confused. "Was it about Naruto? What is that she's been hiding for a while?" Ino thought as she tried to think of possibilities.

Sakura: [Looks down] I...I think I might be the one...who posses...Art of Camellia...

Kakashi's eyes widen as Sakura said so. Others had no different expressions.

Kakashi: [Shocked] Sakura...for God's sake, why didn't you tell anyone about it?!

Sakura: [Looks down] I...I was scared to say anything. Since an unknown enemy attacked me, I've been dreaming about thunderstorms hitting a dark forest. As I'm walking in the forest, I've been guided by a strange light that leads me to what seems to be Camellia. And every time, before I wake up, I hear this voice saying how soon it will bloom inside me and that I'll become more powerful than ever. I didn't know what it meant, nor was it real. But now, especially after the last attack, I'm sure I'm carrying such powers! [Looks up with a determined look]

Akane: That can make sense. The arts of Camellia can try to communicate with you through your higher self. But, to take that statement for confirmation is not always the correct way to confirm it unless we actually find a flower that we could use to test it.

Sakura: I understand, but you have to trust me! I can't prove it to you, but I'm sure I am the one, especially after that woman who attacked us said that the person is among us. Not to mention how she looked at me... as ... if she knew that I was the one.

Naruto's eyes started to glow. He looked at her in a sympathetic way. He knew how it felt when you had a point and no one understood you. He knew the feeling of being overlooked by adults. He then grabbed Sakura's hand. Sakura's gaze immediately shifts to Naruto as her face is covered in slight blush. She then returns him smile, glad that he's agreeing with her.

Naruto: I agree with Sakura. Besides, do we have any choice?

Kakashi: [Eyes wide open] But Naruto, you don't understand -

Naruto: [Frowns] How much of a choice we have left?! Do you care about the safety of the village or not?!

Kakashi stared surprised at Naruto's attitude. He knew he had no choice, but how could he risk Sakura's life? They didn't even know if she was the one. In that moment, Neji bursts in office. He carried some pages that seemed burned. His face was pale, and his expression showed worry.

Neji: [Pants] Hinata disappeared!

Tenten: Neji? [Walks towards him]

Kakashi: What do you mean disappear?

Neji: I...I...[Puts hand on his head] I woke up late at night. And I saw her standing in front of fireplace, staring at it. When I approached her, I saw papers with words and pictures of Camellia. Then I fell on the ground and from that moment I didn't remember anything. But, when I woke up, my clan members they put out the fire and grabbed the sheets. I think Hinata wanted to burn pages from that old book of Camellia.

A gasp could be heard among others. This is one of the most unexpected things Neji has ever said.

Naruto: [Shocked] There's no way that Hinata could do such a thing. She's with us!

Sakura: Maybe she was kidnapped by that woman who attacked us!

Neji: As much as I'd like to believe it, this makes me rethink it. Why would she do such a thing if she's with us?

Haku: Do you still have sheets of the book?

Neji: [Nods as she gives Haku half burned sheets]

Haku, Botan, and Akane started to read half burned sheets that smelled on ashes. They began to talk among themselves, trying to take information and connect it all. After thirty minutes, they came to a conclusion.

Botan: Alright, so here's the thing. Young lady [Points at Sakura], there's a high chance for you to be the one carrying Art of Camellia, and there is a chance that your higher self may try to talk to you. If Camellia blossoms inside you, you will develop ultimate powers, depending on the color that Camellia has, and become very strong. We, as a village, can have a good chance of winning an enemy. But, if it turns out that you are not the one, then we are really in big trouble.

Sakura: [Nods, then looks at Kakashi] Then, what can we do?

Tsunade: We can only take a risky move...

Kakashi: Go to a war...

Sakura: [Looks at everyone around] I know this is risky, but it's either one person or whole village. I'd rather sacrifice myself than let millions of innocent people die!

Naruto smiled at Sakura as he admired her willpower, and Tsunade had a motherly proud smile on her face.
