Nothing Special

Chapter 79

It was a rainy day, Aceso was back in the Hokage's office as usual. She was being sent out as a doctor again, Lee would be accompanying her again.

"Lady Hokage...Rock Lee doesn't have to come with me," Aceso said, Lee glanced down at her in question. "I won't get much practice on going alone with I keep having Lee come along."

"You make a fair point," Tsunade agreed. "You are ready to be out on your own as well."

"This will be the last time," Lee insisted as he looked at Aceso. "Just let me tag along, please."

"You are not worried about missing out on more training?" Aceso asked as she looked up at him. "Or a more vigorous mission?"

"I want to tag along," Lee said. "I have honed my skills better since you helped me open that dojo."

"Rock Lee you will go with Doctor Matsuba," Tsunade said. 

"Right!" Lee smiled as he gave a thumbs up.

"Where will we be going ma'am?" Aceso asked.

" A small town in the Land of Fire named Hosu," Lady Tsunade. "Their village just got attacked by a group of bandits, they heard of the work you did in the small town a few missions ago and would like you to come and help tend to the wounded."

"Of course," Aceso agreed. 

"Lee, you will accompany her, just in case the bandits have decided to stick around," Tsunade answered.

"Should we have more people come along?" Lee asked. " I admit I have a strong formidable shinobi, but I don't want to be too overconfident and take on more than I can handle."

"You won't," Shizune answered. "The Sand Siblings should be going there as well."

"They are?" Aceso and Lee asked at the same time. 

"Yeah, we need you two to deliver a scroll to them as well," Tsunade explained. "You two worked well together last time, so I have no big concerns just sending the two of you again." The two glanced at each, a small smile appeared on the two of them. Tsunade handed the scroll to Aceso. "If there are no objections, you two are to depart for your mission, the sand shinobi should be arriving at the same time as you, so don't make them wait." The two left to go pack before meeting up with each other. Aceso entered her room to see Sakura on her bed.

"I gave you a key for emergencies," Aceso informed as she slipped into the room.

"It is an emergency," Sakura said as she sat up holding on to a stuffed bunny. "I need more training, but you are going on another mission."

"Why don't you just tag along?" Aceso asked as she began to quickly pack.

"No, I am going to stay on the sidelines for now," Sakura answered. "What will I do for training while you are gone?"

"Go to your mistress?" Aceso suggested.

"And if she's busy?" Sakura asked.

"Here," Aceso huffed as she walked over to her bookshelf and pulled out a giant workbook. "Work through this."

"What is that?" Sakura asked with horror as she appeared behind the red hair girl.

"Just a ton of medical terms and questions," Aceso answered. "Fill it out and I will check your answers when I get back."

"I won't get one thing wrong!" Sakura declared as she took the book from Aceso.

"Are you ready?" A voice asked. They over at the window to see Lee climbing through.

"She has a door," Sakura brought up. " Don't be scared to use it."

"I'll keep that in mind," Lee smiled. "So are you ready, Red Rose?" Sakura leaned really close to Aceso.
