Chapter: 1

At the Hokage Tower

Tsunade sat at her desk doing paperwork and drinking her beloved sake. Shizune came inside the room with a couple of scrolls for future missions for the ninja.

Placing the scrolls on the desk and picking the first one randomly on top and reading it. Shizune's eyes scanned the letter several times before becoming wide.

Turning to Tsunade, Shizune said "Tsunade-sama read this" handing the scroll to the female Hokage.

Grabbing the scroll and reading the contents Tsunade looked up to Shizune ans said " Get me the folders of our best Kounichis that are still here"

Nodding her head, Shizune ran out of the office to only return with a couple of folders. Handing the folders over to Tsunade, Shizuna then stepped back ready for more orders from her master.

Looking back from folder to folder, searching to find the perfect candidate for the mission. A couple of folders later Tsunade found the right one.

Looking up to Shizune she said "Bring me Sakura Haruno"

Nodding her head, Shizune dashed off to the hospital where she knew that Sakura would be there working.

…

Arriving back at the Hokage Tower with Sakura in toe, Shizune knocked on the door for permission to come in.

Hearing a soft come in from the blond Hokage, Shizune opened the door for our beautiful pinkette to come in.

Once in Sakura looked at Tsunade and said "What's up? Shisou"

"Sakura, I have chosen you to take a year long maybe longer solo mission. Do you accept?" Tsunade asked.

Not even hesitating, Sakura nodded her head waiting for more information on the solo mission.

"Good your mission is to travel into another dimension and protect the owner of the Humpty lock" Tsunade said.

Nodding her head once again and the asked "Neh, shisou will I be able to use my chakra in this other dimension?"

"Hai, you should be able to use your ANBU skills and medical once you enter that realm. Any more questions?"

Nodding her head again, Sakura then asked "When do I leave?"

Putting some paper away Tsunade replied with a "When you are done packing"

Nodding her head once again Sakura, made her way home to pack some clothes and weapons into a back pack then made her way back to the Hokage tower.

Arriving at the office again, Sakura knocked on the door and went inside to see Tsunade and Shizune standing outside of a circle.

Motioning for Sakura to move closure to stand inside the circle and then started to do some hand signs .

Then said "Everything you will need will be at your apartment that you will be staying in once you arrive."

"Hai, shisou and tell everyone that I said bye and that I will miss them" Sakura said

Starting up the portal, Sakura slowly started to disappear from there sight

Holding back her tears, Tsunade said "Good luck, Sakura" before she was gone all the way.
