She was running through the woods feeling the wind on her face, the wind blowing through her hair and the feel of freedom rushing through her blood. She didn’t stop; she kept going with no worries of any kind but to go to her favorite hidden place. Before she could get even half way there she heard her team mate call out to her from behind.
----
He saw her running fast. He started to follow her, he was captivated by her pink shoulder length hair waving in the wind like silk as she was running, and he saw the look of freedom in her green emerald eyes that shined like stars in the night sky. Then when he thought of calling out to her to see if she wants to get something to eat, he then realized why he was looking for her in the first place. “SAKURA!”

Sakura stopped and turned around disappointed that she had to stop. “What do you want Naruto?”
“Tsunade has given us a mission. She wants us in her office around noon.” Said Naruto. He was waiting for her reply, but since she didn’t he then said, “If it’s okay with you, I was wondering if maybe we could go there together?”
Sakura looked at Naruto; she didn’t say a word to him. She was disappointed she couldn’t go to her favorite hidden place because of a mission. Then it popped up in her mind. ‘Wait! A mission! That means I can finally do something other than walk around and do nothing!’ Sakura then looked at Naruto and smiled. “Yeah I’m ready, let’s go.”
Naruto looked at Sakura and smiled happily that she agreed to him walking with her to Tsunade’s office.

“You all are to go to the sand village.” Tsunade said looking at the 6 Genin ninjas and the 2 Shinobi’s.
“What for?” asked Shikimaru, who was standing next to Naruto and Sakura.
“The Akatsuki was spotted there yesterday.”
“Then why are we going?” asked Sakura, who was just as curious as Shikimaru about the mission.
“10 of their ninjas were murdered.” Tsunade stated looking down at her desk that was full of paper work. She needed to finish them but would rather drink her sake that was in her new hidden department that Sakura didn’t know about.
The 8 ninjas standing in the office didn’t ask any more questions and said “HAI!” Kakashi and Asuma walked up to Tsunades desk taking the papers that they needed for their mission, and then the 8 ninjas left Tsunades office.

“We’ll meet up at the gates in 10 minutes, ok?” asked Kakashi looking at Asuma.
“Yeah!”
Every one disappeared going to their homes to pack.
