Stranger things have happened.....or maybe not.

New Mission

 

~The Next Day~

Sakura was stirred out of her slumber as she heard a knock at her balcony window. Her eyes flickered open and she pushed herself into a sitting position with her left hand. She looked at her clock with a sigh it read in bright green numbers ‘3:23am’. Sakura got out of bed and walked toward her window. On her balcony was a woman with long brown hair and an ANBU uniform on as well as a mask shaped as a monkey covering her face. Sakura opened her window “What can I do for you?” Sakura asked.

“The Hokage requests your presence Sakura-san.” The ANBU Said then bowed politely and disappeared.

“What could that old man possibly want at three in the morning, and how is that every time I run into an ANBU they know who I am?” Sakura asked herself as she closed her window. She looked outside and saw ammonus cloud filled skies looming over the quiet streets of Konoha. “I hope it rains soon.” Sakura thought looking at the village gates which were very visible from her window. “I’m starting to rethink my decision, this isn’t good.” Sakura though with a sigh as she turned around to rummage through her closet for clothes. She put on a black mesh shirt with a fishnet shirt underneath as well as tight black training shorts.

“I am going to assume it’s a mission and if it’s not I am going to kill the bastard for waking me up this early with no excuse.” Sakura said. She slipped her weapons pouch on her leg and strapped her katana on her back. Sakura then put her hair up with a black ribbon that had two tied to the end of it. The ribbon was long and dangled down to her upper back after she tied her hair up. She then put a red belt on that had numerous compartments and small pouches on it. Sakura opened a drawer in her dresser and grabbed ten small scrolls attaching each one to the compartment on her belt. The scrolls had a string attached to the end and the string was attached to a kunai. When Sakura was done it looked as if she had a skirt of kunai and every time she moved the kunai would hit each other making a clicking sound. She looked in the mirror and fixed her wrappings which had a black skull painted on them today. Which looked cool though every time one wrapping would get out of place the design was messed up. Though also when she talked the skull would move with her mouth. Sakura looked at her reflection for another second then smiled under her mask. She then turned away and disappeared in a whirl of cherry blossoms appearing in the Hokage’s office in the same manner.

“You wanted to see me Hokage-sama?” Sakura asked as she leaned against the wall left of the Hokage’s desk.

“Yes, thank you for coming Sakura-san, I’ll get straight to the point then, I have a missions for you.” Sarutobi said then brought out a file with the mission details on it. Sakura walked over to the desk and picked up the file and looked over the details.

Type- Assassination

Target- Yohaku gang

“When would you like me to leave?” Sakura asked after she looked over the entire file.

“As soon as possible.” The Hokage said with a serious tone. Sakura nodded then disappeared and appeared back in her room. Sakura walked over to her closet and put a black cloak on but left the hood down. She grabbed her pack and looked inside to see everything she needed for a mission already packed and gave a slightly questioning look.

“Have fun on your mission Saku-san.” She heard Akuma say. Sakura turned toward her door to see Akuma leaning on the frame with a smile on his face.

“Thanks, see you in a week.” Sakura said as she put her pack on and disappeared and appearing near the village entrance. She walked over to Izumo and Kotetsu and handed them a scroll saying she was leaving for a classified mission.
