A few days later, Sozen stood in front of Lady Tsunade who looked much better. She had a mission for Team Seven, despite them being down two members. Sakura had been excused from her training for this but since she was spending time with what remained of her team she didn't mind.

The same morning the team left to find their escort and guide her to a Feudal Lord's town, it was known she was a concubine for this Lord. Sozen had a dislike of men who participated in concubine ways with ill intent towards the women and it seemed this Lord was going to be one of them with his hunch.

Sozen was happy to be on another mission with Sakura and Kakashi, despite the fact it was a mere escort mission. Their escort was a lady - Natsume - who prided herself on her nickname Nano, to put it simply she had the biggest breasts that on par with Lady Tsunade and was no afraid to flirt with both Kakashi and Sozen. 

Sozen was growing rather weary of her efforts while Kakashi seemed to have the faintest of pink tints to what was visible of his face for most of the trip. Though Sozen assumed it was for the comedic matter, the trip was rather taxing. Sakura, at first enjoyed Nano's teasing until she became rude to Sakura and the two women then fought about looks and chest size. Kakashi tried to remain as silent as possible why Sozen openly voiced he didn't care. Though only he knew the reason why he was able to resist such devious looks. 

Nano wore a pink kimono top that was left loose to reveal her breasts with a red obi to fasten it. She wore a short skirt in a similar shade of pink and red knee-high stockings. Sozen thought so looked like a Cherry and that it might be a more fitting nickname for the woman. While Sozen allowed himself a small snicker he quickly regretted it as the woman snuggled right up to him and pressed to know what he found funny. 

Cherry started to walk with her arm linked in Sozen's who was too exhausted to remove it. He was caught off guard when she reached up and brushed the hair out of his eyes. He almost turned hostile as she ran her fingers down the length of his hair which he almost forgot had grown due to his aging. 

Sozen pulled his hair back and frowned at the woman, she was a very tedious character. 

"You know, you could almost take my place here. Would you be willing to do that?" Nano muttered.

"We are your escorts, your job beyond this is none of my concern," Sozen narrowed his eyes. He had an assumption about her 'job'. 

"So cold, what if I don't want to go where you're taking me?" Nano pushed, glancing at Kakashi and Sakura. 

"Then I'll force you," Sozen answered after a moment and placed a hand on Nano's head before walking forwards. 

Nano stopped walking and faced the escort. Tears had started to stream down her face as tiny sobs shook her body. 

"I'll die if I go there," she whispered. 

"You'll die one day anyway. Who am I to stop a perverts conquest?" Sozen tsked before walking away from the group.

Sakura went to comfort the woman that Sozen had made bawl. Sakura eventually went ahead to find Sozen who ended up on a vantage point overlooking the town where they would drop Nano off. 

"What was that all about?" Sakura folded her arms and glared at Sozen.

"I just lost my temper, I meant nothing by it," Soze sighed, the weight of the lie heavy on him.
