A/N- Hey Guys! I'm just going to keep chugging and if this story turns into a disaster then so be it. Anyway, sorry for any grammatical errors or misspellings, I am also considering writing a new story, but I think I wanna finish this one first or at least get all of the kinks out of the plot first. Also one of the reasons that it has been a while since I have updated is that I was locked out of Wattpad for a hot second. Sorry for the very very late update! Also thank you for all of you who continue to read even with my horrible process in updating!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

Four shinobi are seen kneeling in front of the Tsuchikage. "Rise, I am glad to see that Konoha was willing to send people, considering our current relations, I am hoping that the woman you call Hokage sent competent people for this."

'Something's off....This whole situation seems familiar....I need to test something...please don't be mad Shikamaru.' Sakura thought observing the body language of the Tsuchikage.

"Sir, if I may ask a question?" The pink-haired one spoke up. The rest of team ten raised their heads in a slight show of surprise.

'He seems like the kind of person who would do best with an honest face to face blunt conversation. I hope this works.' Sakura thought.

"Proceed." The Tsuchikage raised an eyebrow at the bold female.

"Why ask for konoha shinobi? Why not any other hidden village? We haven't had contact in a while especially since the Third Shinobi War, and I am very aware that Konoha has been blessed with more resources including our medical department. But my understanding is that you are not usually someone to ask for this kind of help, especially asking some place where our political stances haven't been discussed in years." His hand twitched slightly. 'bingo,'

"Why?" He hummed. "Well, I am desperate." He said sternly in reply. "And if I could, may I talk to you alone?"

'I certainly hope it worked because Shikamaru and Hokage-sama are going to eat me alive if this doesn't.'

"Yessir."

"In that case, the rest of you are dismissed and will head back here in an hour. I need to have a talk with this kunoichi."

Team ten glanced at each other wearily wondering what had moved Sakura to say such things. Shikamaru glanced at the Hokage's apprentice, made eye contact and nodded. "Yessir." They all said as they shunshuned out of the room.

"Now. What is your name miss?'

"Sakura Haruno."

"Well, Ms. Haruno, you seem like a smart girl, is there any particular reason you said what you said. I have a feeling you did not just say that out of blatant curiosity." He strided over to the woman, and despite his height, held his head high with authority.

"If I may be honest?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"I don't think you told the Hokage all of the details you wish to employ us with, and being a dedicated shinobi to Konoha, if there is anything in this mission that will help cause pain to my people and village, I will do something about it."His hand twitches again.

"Well, what makes you say that? Just curious."

"I have come across a very similar situation and your body language and the way you approached the topic about Hokage, let's just say that they are very familiar signs. Not to mention your right hand twitches whenever Konoha was mentioned."
