Strategic team

Chapter 32: Goodbye Konoha

"Come in."

The door quietly opened, as a shy Hyuga stepped into the room. Her face was stained with tears, which left red under her kind pupiless eyes. I watched as she looked up at the three of us and immediately jumped onto me.

"Hinata-"

"SAKURA-CHAN! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! PLEASE TELL ME YOUR STAYING FOR A WHILE!" She yelled right into my ear as she latched onto me like her life depended on it. I couldn't help but smile. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two more figures enter.

"I missed you two Hinata, How have you-" Before I could finish, I was cut off yet again. The second this person made contact with me, we fell over due to the unexpected added weight.

"SAKURAAAA!!!!! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" the voice of Ten Ten rang through my ears. I giggled at their actions.

"I missed you guys to. How have you been?"

"Good!"

"Better now that your back." I smiled as they got off of me. Neji lent me his hand, I took it and he helped me up. That greeting started and finished quickly as the Hokage cut in.

"I know you all are having a moment and I am sorry to ruin it but, these three were requested to become sand shinobi. They will be transferred in a mater of days. Now, because of the current situation, I have considered giving you three the option to join them there."

I didn't risk a glance to see their faces. They obviously would say no. Right?

"I-ill go."

I was startled by the voice of the female Hyuga.

"T-the others l-left us behind.. a-and I want t-to stay with S-sakura." I couldn't help but smile.

"I'm going to! I heard they have a cool supply of weapon making tools!"

"If Lady Hinata is going, Then I will as well." I let myself look at them. Their faces didn't look like what I expected. They didn't look sad, or that they even wanted to stay. They wanted to become their own thing. Something different then in the shadows of the amazing Naruto and Sasuke. I could see that much in Hinata anyway, as she is a part of their team. Or should I say, was.

Would you look at that? See! These are friends. The other guys are losers. Like I know you wanna get Sasuke back, but didn't they leave like two hours ago? They could have at least left a letter like Ino did. And he went rouge! That piece of Uchiha garbage.

I hear ya inner.

"That is great to hear, I will let the Kazekage know. You have exactly one hour to pack your things, then meet back here quickly. Here, please take these scrolls to store your things in. As a gift." He placed six scrolls onto his desk.

"Hai Hokage-sama!" And with that, we all took a scroll and left our separate ways to pack.

Sakuraaaa! Take that outfit to!

We cant take too much inner! its only one scroll and a back pack!

Fineee at least take like half of your books.

Already got my favorites and most useful packed.

Okay.... then take the photos!

Already done.

Wow. This room looks so bare.

Well, I took everything I could.

But we only packed like two sets of clothing! Can we at least go shopping when we get there? Pleaseeeee?

I was already planning on it. We don't have a lot.

YES! Okay, were ready. Lets go to the Hokage!

Right!

I took one last look at my now empty room, before slipping on my backpack and crawling out my window. Applying chakra to my feet I walked onto my roof and ran right for the Hokages office.

-----

"Hokage Sama, where will we stay?"

"The Kazekage has some places available for you. Although he was expecting one team, he said that he will have three apartments available. So, each of you will need a roommate." I nodded. I was probably going to room with Hinata or Ten Ten. There was a knock at the door, I looked over my shoulder just in time to see the rest of my friends. It was just about time to leave.

Goodbye Konoha.
