"What?" Sakura muttered, acting dazed and confused.

It's been two days since the Festival, Shizuko managed to escape. But that can't be said the same to his allies.

Currently, she's inside the Mizukage's Office talking about her transfer to Konohagakure. She wasn't shocked about the news, since she was the figure who spied by the window.

'Mizukage-sama's really gonna go through with the plan, will she?' She thought.

Mei nodded as she stood up, "Minato-sama offered us, you, a deal. And I think that it would be much better for you to go back as a Genin."

Sakura bit her lip, "But! Back as a Genin?! Mizukage-sama, you gotta be kidding!" She protested.

"Sakura, you're still young. You still have a long life ahead of you, Why not accept their offer?" Mei explained.

Sakura furrowed her brows, "But, I'm already ANBU Captain! Won't it be a waste?"

Mei sighed.

Sakura trugged as she walked along the road. It was now night time, and most civillians and ninjas alike were currently at their houses.

Emerald eyes closed as she sighed, her Long pink hair swaying along the soft, gentle breeze.

'Konoha...and Kiri....in a near state of war, huh?'

The Pinkette thought as she recalled the Mizukage's words.

"Kiri and Konoha is actually in a near state of war. With Otogakure lurking by our borders and multiple ninjas on both sides are mysteriously kidnapped and or killed, we found evidences pointing to Konoha." Mei explained.

Sakura gasped in shock, "But aren't we on a treaty with Konoha?"

Mei nodded, "Which is why, as another peace offering, The Fourth Hokage suggested one ninja on both sides to be exchanged as a sign of Honesty and Loyalty to each word."

Emerald eyes narrowed as her armor clinked together, she fisted her fists, her leather gloves squeeked in her motion.

"But, why now?"

"That, is a question who's answer is not ready for you to know."

"Nooo!! Don't leave us, Kura!" Hikaru and Kaoru clinged to the small pinkette.

Currently, Team 13 is in an empty field, various ponds and small bridges lay around the field. Sakura, decided to tell her team about the exchange, or "Peace Offering" plan. Which the group didn't like.

Hikaru and Kaoru stood up after Sakura shrugged them off of her.

Takira clenched her fists, her slightly long nails stabbing her palms as her Gold eyes narrowed to slits.

"Taki-chan? Are you mad or sad?" Hikaru asked as he smoothened his brown bangs.

"She's obviously mad, idiot." Kaoru snickered.
