The Next Day - Tatsuyu's POV
I look at the people standing in front of me at the gates. "Alright, Konohamaru, you take two Genin with you to the South Outpost, Moegi, take two Genin to the North Outpost, Udon, take two Genin to the East Outpost, Naruto, take two Genin to the West Outpost, the last few Genin here will help babysit right outside the gates with a few adults, if anyone were to attack, your to send up a flare with this flare gun." I say holding one up and they nod and get to work. "Kotesu, Izumo, get going to the Land of Waves, oh, and Genin, when you get to the outposts, say you need supplies and they should be given to you and tell them I sent you, since normally I'm the one getting the supplies for the village, they'll pass them over." I say and they nod and leave.
Four Genin are left and I choose Kurenai, and two other women to go with them with the kids and I entrust the flare gun to Kurenai.
"Your really doing a good job Tatsuyu." Kurenai says to me with a smile and I nod in thanks and she leaves with the kids and the other two women.
"Alright, Kiba, Shino, Choji, TenTen and Lee, you'll be coming with me to get some wood for Tazuna to start building, Yamato start helping the other Jonin with clearing away the rubble." I say to them and they nod. "You men, will help him." I say and they nod.
"And what do I do?" Shikamaru asks me.
"You, Ino and anyone of your choice, look for anything useable in the rubble, whether its pictures or more medical supplies, try and salvage as much as you can." I say to him and he nods.
"LETS GO!" Lee says excitedly.
"Neji, you and Guy-Sensei watch the gates for anyone suspicious and if that flare goes off, one of you go and help while the other comes and gets us." I say and the two nod and we head out into the forest. "Cut down as many tree's as you can, we need a lot of wood for building." I say and they nod and we separate and get to work on cutting down tree's. At noon, I have about 100 tree's, Shino has about 80, TenTen has 75, Kiba and Akamaru have 50 and Choji had 25.
"Wow, I didn't know we could get that much done by lunch." I say surprised and everyone nods in agreement. "Come on, lets take these back and stack them up." I say Choji uses his partial expansion Jutsu for his arms and picks up about half the tree's, while Akamary pulls 5 tree's with him, TenTen drags a few with her while Shino takes half of what is left and carries them with his bugs and I use wind to float the logs in the air above me and we head back into the village and we stack the logs up and create a lot of piles.
After we finish that, the Genin get back and I look through the supplies.
"Great job you guys." I say to them. "We have tools now which is a good thing." I say and Naruto grins and so does Konohamaru. "Anyways, you guys go get lunch, I'm gonna sort these tools." I say and they nod and TenTen looks at me.
"You don't want anything?" TenTen asks me.
"No, I'll be fine." I say and she nods and goes with everyone else as I sort out the tools and TenTen comes back with two sandwiches and tea for the both of us.
"I lived with you for years and we're teammates, you can't fool me." TenTen says to me as she sits next to me and we sort out the tools together as we have lunch.
"Well then, when should we start building?" TenTen asks me.
"When the carpenters are ready." I say to her and she nods.
I boss everyone around for about a week until I'm called into a meeting to stand in front of everyone.
"Well then, I can't decide." The feudal lord says and I look at him. "One is young and is keeping the village together and helping everyone out, the other one is older and has more knowledge, I'd have to say both for right now, until the voting comes in from the Jonin." The feudal lord says and Shikaku, Inoichi and Choza look surprised.
