"The mission was suprisingly easy, wasn't it Captain?" Takira asked as she walked in front of the group.

Sakura gave out a nervous chuckle, "I guess.... if it wasn't for Kaoru getting injured." She muttered the last part to herself.

Kaoru snorted, "In my defense, that was Class B poison." He said.

Hikaru grinned as he shifted Kaoru to make him lean more to his left side, "Seriously, I thought I was the clumsy one? Tisk, tisk." He mocked.

"Oi! Wanna go?!"

"Peesh, yeah right."

"Why you little-!"

"I'm older than you though."

"Only by Two minutes!!"

Takira smiled as she glanced at the bickering twins behind her shoulders, "Captain, is there something wrong?"
She asked as Gold eyes shone with worry upon seeing her Pink haired Captain smiling sadly.

Said Pinkette looked at her before shaking her head with her ever-so happy smile, "Nope. Its just that..."

"Its just that...?" she pushed on, giving Sakura the signal to continue.

Emerald eyes closed as she smiled before opening it again, only to have unshed tears blurring it, "Its just that... I'm gonna miss you guys." She said.

The twins suddenly yelled, "We're gonna miss you too! Captain!!"

Takira nodded in agreement, "All of us will, Captain." She smiled.

"I think you guys should stop calling me Captain now." Sakura said before she walked faster to catch up with Takira's pace.

"Kya!" She gasped as Takira suddenly shook her hair, "Nah," she said, "We like Captain better."

"Hmm.... why are we here again?" Naruto asks as he held a very wide and big net.

"We're going to stop Sakura-chan." Minato explained as he held a top portion while carefully sticking himself onto a tree branch.

"And this will?" Ino asked as she stood at the side.

Kakashi nodded as he held the other top portion, "More or less."

"Can't we just stop her or something?" Kiba asked as he held a lower portion that was opposite of Naruto.

Danzo scoffed, "There's a reason she's called 'Lightning Flash'."

Itachi frowned as he stood in front of the net, planning to catch Sakura with the net as a back-up incase he skids back.

"She's near." Kurenai said as she held a hand on Shikamaru's shoulder.

Said boy narrowed his eyes as he crouched, his hands positioned to do his clan's specialty, Kagemane no Jutsu.

"Let's just get this over with." Sasuke muttered as he shifted his foot while holding a portion of the net beside Naruto.

The whole forest suddenly became quiet, "What's going on?" Ino murmured as she scooted towards Kurenai.

"Sakura's going on." Shisui said as he lightly tugged on a top portion beside Kakashi.

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.
