Nana's pov

The great team 7 just finished picking weeds as we head back to the hokage tower.

"Hey Sensei, I'll meet you guys at the tower, grass makes my skin itch and I know it's gonna drive me crazy"

"Ah very well don't be late"

I laugh Kakashi telling me not to be late? Hilarious, che. Let's get back to my place so I can get a much needed shower.

I turned off the tap as I swiftly slid out, causing me to summer salt into my room, I uh don't normally know how to do flips soo...it was an accident. Anywho I crashed into my open closet annddd popped out fully clothed minus my weapons pouch, which I have no clue were it could be...meh I'll just borrow one of Rhea's extras.

Well off I go to the Hokage Tower.

Sakura's pov

Sadly because of the lack of team work we failed our mission, we failed to capture Tora the cat, anyway.

I was staring at Naruto talking about how our team needs better missions to do yata yata.

I cringed when Naruto spoke about how he never gets tired of eating ramen, after eating a load of anko dumplings cover in syrup my stomach stopped processing food. Plus that not healthy, gosh I need to teach Naruto how to make something other then ramen.

"ENOUGH DON'T TALK TO THE HOKAGE LIKE THAT SHOW YOUR RESPECT!"

"But Iruka we're ninja now!"

"That doesn't matter Naruto, you follow the Hokage's orders!-"

"It's alright Iruka, they are ninja now, I'll assign a simple C rank mission: come in"

"AWE YEAH DATTEBAYO! ARE WE GONNA PROTECT A LORD OR A PRINCESS?"

"NARUTO-"

No ones pov

All was silenced when the door creeped open. In came an old man with a bottle of sake and Ari with the cat Tora in her hoodie. Ari was the first to speak.

"Hey guys look who hopped into my hoodie, cute cat huh, he looks like he belongs in there haha"

"OH MY SWEET TORA THERE YOU ARE!"

Everyone in the room anime fell except for Ari and the old man Tazuna, as they were both confused.

"HOW?!"

Everyone chorused.

"What do you mean how?"

"We took one mission after you left and and we-we were trying to catch that-that STUPID CAT"

"Don't call my Tora stupid!"

Sakura brought her hand down onto Naruto's neck making him bow.

"I'm sorry for his words, Lady Daimayo-sama"

"Hmp no problem as long as he doesn't do it again!"

"No ma'am!"

"Very well, here's the money, I am off with my little smoocum Tora!"

Everyone bowed as she walked out. Naruto muttered,

"That cat deserves to be squeezed by that lady..."

"NARUTO UZUMAKI YOU KNUCKLEHEAD!"

"OW IRUKA-SENSEI THAT HURT DATTEBAYO!"

"Ahem...so before I was interrupted, this man is Tazuna he is a bridge builder, I need you guys to escort him safely to the Mist, is that clear?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama!"

"Well off you go"

"Hai!"

"Ahem Ari, I need to speak with you"

"Huh? Oh okay Hokage-sama"

Nana's pov

Everyone walked out except the Hokage and I. He spoke quietly,

"Do you know when your older sister gets back from her mission?"

"Hmm...I believe in a few hours"

"I want you to give her this scroll"

"Hai"

I bowed, ready to turn and walk away when the hokage spoke once more,

"Aren't you going to ask me about the scroll or the mission?"

"No sir, all you told me was to give her this, nothing more nothing less"

"And whys that?"

"You're the Hokage you'll tell me what I need to know, obviously if you don't give me any details it means I don't need to know"

A curious gleam was in the Hokage's eyes as he held up his pipe and deeply inhaled.

"A smart ninja you are, but come back here and I'll tell you"

"Hai"

I turned around and walked to the front of the desk. He gestured for me to sit, which I gladly accepted.

He told me what I needed to know, then he bid me a goodnight.

Tomorrow we head out to the Hidden Mist.
