Sakura sighed as she walked down the street heading toward the hospital. She knew what Tsunade was trying to accomplish with this mission for Naruto and Sasuke, but she somehow didn't think that just forcing them to spend time with each other was going to help the situation any. This kind of thing just needed to get worked out on its own. Oh well. It wasn't like she could do anything about it anyway. She turned to corner and saw Konohamaru walking toward her, rubbing his hair for some reason. He saw her and said, "Hey! You're that forehead girl who hangs out with Naruto!"

Sakura glared at the boy and charged forward, punching him square in the gut, sending him to the ground. He gasped and managed to weakly ask, "What was that for?"

"You should respect a pretty young lady you jerk!" Sakura shouted, crossing her arms.

Konohamaru got to his feet and muttered, "First I get covered in dust and now this!"

Sakura ignored him, not hearing the part about the dust as she walked away. As Konohamaru turned the corner, adjusting his shirt, Sakura stopped and thought to herself, "Was he taller? Must be my imagination."

She pushed Konohamaru out of her mind and continued on her way to the hospital. She wondered what Sasuke and Naruto were doing now and how well they were getting along. As though on cue, a huge plume of dust (normal dust) appeared in the distance along with a very familiar yell of anger. Sakura sighed and said, "I knew this wasn't going to work."

"I take it you know what that was?" a voice suddenly asked.

Sakura turned and saw Neji coming out of a store, a bag in his hand. She smiled and said, "Naruto and Sasuke are supposed to be working together. They've always had a rocky relationship but this whole giant thing just made it worse."

Neji nodded and said, "I can't say I'm too pleased with it either. I missed the whole thing because I was on a mission. Enslavement doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in, but it all appears to have worked out to the advantage of those involved."

Sakura said, "I suppose. As long as no other enemies of the village get their hands on it then everything should work out."

Neji shifted the bag in his hand and said, "We can only hope. I've got to be going now. I have to take this home."

He walked away and Sakura turned back to the hospital. Everything seemed to finally be settling down. She walked into the hospital and turned to the front desk. "Excuse me, I'm supposed to be working with Shizune today."

The clerk smiled and said, "I'm sorry only authorized medical personnel are allowed to work in this hospital."

Sakura looked surprised and said, "But I was working in here just a few days ago!"

The clerk nodded and said, "Yes, but you were working with Lady Hokage. Unless you have some kind of proof that you're allowed to work here I can't let you get to where Shizune is."

Sakura sighed and said, "I do have proof, just not on me. I'll be back in a little bit."

She turned and left the building, running to where she remembered seeing the plume of dust. That's where Sasuke and Naruto were and that's where she'd get the paper proving she was aloud to work in the hospital. She was so focused on where she was going she failed to see someone turn the corner. She ran full tilt into them and was knocked down on her butt. After looking to see who she ran into she was shocked to see a giant standing over her. But it wasn't any of the giants she knew. It was a new one!

Who was it?
