"Three shinobi from the cloud have requested an audience with you," a man I had never seen before bowed in front of me at the waist.
"Stand up." I sighed, rubbing my forehead with the heel of my hand. "Where are they?" Three shinobi with cloud headbands peaked their heads into the tent.
"Lady Tsunade's not here," the male spoke up, frowning.
"Is there an acting Hokage?" The blonde kunoichi asked, stepping fully into the tent.
I raised a brow and cocked my head slightly, "I am the sixth Hokage."
The blonde approached and handed me a letter as the other two entered quickly, and quiet clumsily, and stood on opposing sides of the entrance. "The Raikage has sent this letter for you that needs a reply immediately."
I took the letter that she had extended in her hand and opened it. The Raikage wanted me to send out an assassination order on Sasuke and make him a rogue shinobi because he had killed B. I had just seen B not long before I came to Konoha. "I don't like him as much as the next person, but an assassination order is a little harsh. I can't approve that."
"But B is our sensei! How can you allow a murderer to run free," the red haired kunoichi moaned, stomping towards me.
"If B was dead, I surely would have notice." I stated, crossing my arms. "There is still a retrieval order on him. Once he has been brought back to us – alive – we will interrogate him and get his side before any action on his life or wellbeing is taken. Now, for a meeting of all five Kage tomorrow, I will attend. If he wants to speak to me on this matter and attempt to change my mind in person, he may try."
"May we have his shinobi data?" The blonde asked again.
"This is an issue for Konoha and the Land of Fire – they are not your affairs." I said coldly. "By the way, I'm Makoto Furiyami."
The guy spoke up again, "the same Makoto Furiyami from the incident in the land of dreams five years ago?" He seemed excited when I nodded. "I'm Omoi!"
I walked through the construction site, the numbers having doubled since yesterday.
"Makoto! Is that really you?" A deep voice asked from behind me. I turned my head slightly to catch a glimpse of the man who spoke. Pale blue hair that was worn in a high bun, green eyes, white fur lined vest, bare chest, and very tight black pants.
"No way," I gawked, turning to meet him in a hug. "Takao? What are you doing here?" We kissed each other's checks, the traditional greeting for friends in the Land of the Crescent Moon.
"We came to help rebuild the village." Takao beamed, "What's the newest Hokage been up to?"
Right. "Just helping with the rebuild, shorting other things out, the usual." I laughed walking with him, his arm around my shoulders, to where he and a few others were rebuilding the hospital. A few shinobi were also helping out. "What can I do?"
Takao laughed, "just like you to always jump in. How about you help us with putting the flooring in?"
"Sounds good." He steered me towards a large pile of maroon tiles on a cart. I reached in, pulling as many out as I could carry – and balance. Takao grabbed the mortar to hold them in place. We entered the building through a wall that had not been put up and I set the tiles down in the middle of our workspace. We worked in perfect tandem, Takao placing the mortar while I laid the tiles.
"Wow this is coming together fast," a girl spoke from behind us. We turned our head to see the pink haired kunoichi from my first day back. I think Shikamaru called her Sakura. "You! What are you doing?"
