The pinkette walked down the path of Konoha. It was a bright and peaceful day. Many people greeted and waved to Sakura as she walked by. She waved and greeted them back. Sakura was flattered at how many people greeted her and asked how her day was going, a small pink blush arose onto the apples of her cheeks.

Sakura was heading to the Hokages Tower, why? Because Tsunade had summoned Sakura to go on a solo mission. Tsunade was Sakura's master since she was thirteen.

Walking up the stairs to the Hokage's Manison, she was greeted by other well-known ninjas. Shizune rushed past Sakura in a rush.

"Good morning Sakura-chan!" Shizune, turned around while still walking back backwards, and waved a hand in the air.

"Good morning Shizune-san, is Tsunade-sama in her office?" Sakura questioned before Shizune ran off.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama is in her office right now!" Shizune answered in a hurry and rushed off.

Sakura shrugged it off and continued to walk down to her doors.

Knocking politely she waited for a reply to know whether to come in or not.

"Come in!" ordered Tsunade.

Opening the door Sakura said, "You summoned me, Tsunade-shisho?" Sakura closed the door behind her and walked over to Tsunade's desk.

"Yes," Tsunade answer and turned around in her chair, "Sit" she gestured Sakura to sit down in a chair.

"Thank you" Sakura nodded and sat down crossing her right leg over her left one.

"A message was delivered to me today from Sunakagre," Tsunade began and rummaged through a draw in her desk for something "I thought you might want to take a look at it" Tsunade handed Sakura a folder.

Sakura grabbed it carefully making sure not to damage it in any way and unfolded it slowly, papers slipping out.

"Hm..." she examined the papers. Each paper had a photo clipped with a gēnin on it and information about them.

"What's this?" Sakura asked herself and grabbed a small sheet of paper that was stuck between the other papers. It said,

Dear Godaime Hokage,

Please don't get alarmed but this isn't a message on an crisis. But I'm asking for assistance in Sunakagre. Ever since our last incident with the Akatsuki most of our Jōnin and Chūnin have been busy with mission and look out shifts. It seems we are low on Jōnin and Chūnin to train our Gēnin. All I'm asking is if you can send me one of your trust worthy, intelligent and skilled Jōnin or Chūnin or student of yours for assistance. May that ninja you send be a medical-nin many Gēnin are interested in learning it.

Yours truly, Godaime Kazekage

"Have you figured it out yet?" Tsunade asked making the kunoichi in front of her jump a little in her seat.

"To be honest, no, I'm quite confused?" Sakura admitted dropping her head and looking over the note again.

"Don't make me have to tell you Sakura" Tsunade shook her head with a chuckle.

Tsunade sighed before speaking. "I'm choosing you for this solo mission".

Sakura sat in her seat with eyes wide like saucers. Shocked but thrilled to be going on a mission but alone. It's not that Tsunade doesn't trust her to go on mission nor go alone but because she needs her for medical causes. Incase Tsunade can't reach the patient, busy with Hokage business same with Shizune helping Tsunade.
