Depart {Open}

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto sat on his cushy chair, fingering the edge of the desk. He reached forward, grabbed a pen, and mummbled, "Ennie meani minei mo..."

He growled before he finished the childish rhyme. Naruto looked from one ninja profile to another, he would grab one, look as if he had won the olyimpics, and then he would throw it down and yell loudly. "No... their an idiot... They're already on a mission... The the elder's claim they 'died' , and they can't 'go on the mission'." Naruto grumbled, even he knew that most people that died ended up to be alive...

Naruto's azure eyes slide up the clock on his desk, and then trailed back to the papers. He yawned, and scratched his head. Why, can I never figure out who to send on any of the missions? he rolled his eyes and said soon after, "And why have I had some obsession with talking to myself?

Naruto thought about the question at hand and then went back to fingering through the papers. He came across three papers at the back of the stack. The three papers belonged to three ninja that had not been sent on a missions for quite some time, nor, would they for a long time to come.

Naruto place the papers in the stack of unusable stack of ninja bios, and slapped his picture frame on his desk down, so the picture in the clasps, would not meet his eyes.

[Haruno Sakura]

The sun shone in the sky. It had been an eventful day. She never really got to spend this much time with her son, Kazuki, and see friends. Sakura walked the streets yet again carrying Kazuki on her hip. She had stopped by the hospital to see if she was needed for work, though she was informed that it was her day off and she should be at home playing with her son.

After she left the hospital, she walked across the bridge of her former Teams meeting place from their Gennin days. She stopped and looked in the river at her and Kazuki's reflection. Kazuki reminded her so much of the man that had been taken away from her, her love, the man she missed so much. Her eyes drifted to her son. "You look just like your daddy, you know that Kazuki?" She said hands running through his hair. "Da da." Kazuki giggled. "Sasuke-kun, you would be proud of your son." Sakura giggled.

She began walking again as she caught sight of the Hokage's office. Looking up at the window blonde spikes were viewable from the top of the chair. "Want to go see Uncle Naruto, Kazuki?" Sakura giggled. "Naru Naru!" Kazuki said excitedly. Sakura walked up to the building and pushed the door open, greeting the guards as she passed them. Knocking on the door to the hokage's office she heard something being turned down. She turned the door handle and entered the room.

Her view turned to her former Team mate sitting at the wooden desk where her teacher had once sat. "Hey Naruto. How have you been?" She greeted walking in. "Naru Naru." Kazuki laughed.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto's eyes locked onto the pink hair medical ninja, and looked at her dazed. After afew moments, Naruto jumped slightly, and shoved the papers on his desk into a book. As he fumbled with the pages he hit the small frame from it's resting place on his desk to the floor. The glass shattered in to tiny shards, and covered a small area of the floor.

He looked at it, a small corner of paper had slipped from out during the fall. He shook his head slightly, and raised his attention to the women at the door of his office, "Sakura-chan!? What are you doing here?" Naruto akwardly went to hug the women. Images of Sakura with Sasuke from his childhood ran through his mind, and he pulled back, then insted, extended his hand in welcome.

His face warmed and a shade of pink infiltrated the tan of his skin. He smiled brightly and looked at the child in Sakura's tight grip, "Hi Kazuki. Now havn't we had this conversation?" Naruto stared at the child, "My name is Na-ru-to."

He smiled happily, and messed with the child's jet black hair.

[Haruno Sakura]

Sakura saw Naruto franticly move things on his desk around, in the process knocking a small picture frame on the floor. her eyes rested there. She could guess what it was. The team, their former life, or was that still who they were, a team of 3, though one gone now. Her heart sunk low, Sasuke.

Seeing Naruto coming towards her she looked up and smiled at him. "We just came to visit you silly? Is that a problem?" Sakura said in reply to Naruto, accepting his hand. "Naru. Naru." Kazuki said yet again. "I guess he'll never call you Naruto." Sakura giggled. "What were those paper's for?" She asked placing Kazuki on the floor and walking over to clean up the little pieces of glass.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto pulled the boy up off the floor, and placed him in his arms. He watched quietly as Sakura moved to the other side of the room where a broom and a dust pan sat.

"The papers?" Naruto coughed slightly and replied, "Ninja bios, ya know, the ones we took pictures for a long, long time ago?"

Naruto bounced the boy up and down, and laughed slightly. He frowned when he looked at the child's dark hair. "I shouldn't be the one with Kazuki. I'm not his father...

Naruto smiled weakly at the boy and handed him back to his waiting mother. Oh, Sakura-chan? Have you seen Tenten-chan recently?

Naruto looked to Sakura with an odd face.

[Fujimoto, Izumi]

'' Hokage! ''

cried a voice. It sounded like it belonged to a young girl, and it did. Fujimoto Izumi walked into the room. Her black hair was tied to the left side of her head, bangs covered the right side of her forehead. She wore a black jacket, and blue shorts.

Izumi looked up at Naruto, who was taller than her by at least a foot or even more, she frowned some.

'' I want better missions! ''

she blurted frowning.

'' I want missions that involve more than me just doing this! ''

she began to move her hand up and down, in the motion that was used to pick up garbage with a stick. She turned to noticed Sakura and her some the room, she quickly turned to wards them and bowed politely.

'' Greetings Sakura-sama, Kazuki-san ''

she greeted them, being completely polite. She turned back to Naruto and sighed.

'' Come on Old man there has to be better missions, I want to do missions that actually have action! ''

she stated as she thought I want to do missions that would make my brother proud...

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto's eye's focused on the small girl who busted into his office. A vein popped from his forehead as he listened to the girl complain about the complexity of her missions. "You, like I did, hated the missions your given. I understand that, but if I can't even send a jounin on a high level mission, I can't send a genin. There's nothing I can give you guys, except the simple jobs."

Naruto growled deep in his throat, Izumi, I understand you want to prove yourself, and I'll keep your name in mind, but right now, there's nothing. "

Naruto squated down and patted the girl on her head. "I promise, some time soon, you and a group of ninjas will go on a higher level mission. I may even send you with mostly jounin. That is if you can keep up with them."

Naruto smiled and placed his hand on her shoulder, "Oh, and NEVER call me Old man, 'whittle Izumi'"

[Haruno Sakura]

Sakura walked to the corner of the room and retrieved the broom and dustpan, then continued to clean up the little pieces of glass that was scattered on the floor. She bent down and picked up the broken picture frame and the picture that was laying face down on the floor, flipping it over to see her younger self, an irritated blonde, a proud white haired man, and their dark raven haired team mate. Memories of their team came back to her. Some happy while other's were sad. Sad like the last time she saw him, the night that would forever stay with her. He promised that he would come back from the battle. Sasuke had promised her that, kissed her one last time and left.

Sakura finished cleaning up placing the picture face down on the corner of Naruto's desk, there had to be a reason that it was flipped down in the first place, replaced all the items she had gotten and walked back over to Naruto. "Ninja bio's huh? I remember those." Sakura giggled remembering the picture that Naruto had taken. "With all you white and red paint right?" She said sticking out her tung. She took Kazuki back from Naruto. "Tenten? Yes i was just at the park with her the other day. Why do you ask?"

She had no more said this when a young ninja bolted into the room yelling at Naruto. Sakura giggled. The young girl sounded a lot like Naruto when they were genin. "Hello Izumi-chan." Sakura returned the girls greeting. Kazuki just laughed in reply. "She sounds alot like you, Naruto." She said trying to control her laughter at hearing Izumi call Naruto an old man.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto smiled Brightly "Yes Sakura-chan, that profile." He laughed to himself, and rubbed his head.

Naruto looked out the window, he gazed at the heads carved in the mountain, then he glanced at the half finished head. He turned his attention back to Sakura and replied, "Oh, I was just wondering if you had seen her. She's upset with me, I have no missions to give. Well except for the simple ones..."

He then began to push the two girls out of his office, I'm off for a bit, you can stay here if you would like, but don't go in here." Naruto then locked the door to the cluttered office.

"By the way, if anyone asks, Izumi... Sakura...., Tell them I'm in there, and I want to be left alone. Please, do this as a favor to me."

Naruto hugged both the girls and ran off down the hall.

[Fujimoto, Izumi]

Izumi turned frowning as she dusted off her shoulder. She made a face as she looked towards Sakura.

'' The blond idiot hugged me! ''

she complained frowning. Izumi frowned as she began to walk out the door.

'' That retard has another thing coming if he thinks I'll let him shurk his responsibilities to the village! ''.

[Haruno Sakura]

Sakura watched Naruto as he scurried off. Naruto seemed to need his space right now and Konoha wasn't letting him have it.

Sakura looked at Izumi giggling at her response "Yes he did" Sakura watched as the young ninja stomped away. "Now Izumi he just needs some time. He has Konoha in his heart he won't do anything to hurt us, he just needs some space. Please do as he asks. You know he controls what missions you go on. I would hate to see you not have good missions now." Sakura said turning with Kazuki in her arms and leaving.
