Thread: A Binding Mission (JmBz and Lillythelez)

Sakura and Hinata entered the room as soon as Tsunade gave the word, quickly bowing their heads to her, Hinata's a bit slower than the medical-nin's. Sakura raised her head up with a smile, which quickly faded at the Hokage's remark about her bust size. Her face turned beet red, resembling Hinata's, her mouth opening and closing as she tried to muster up the energy to respond. Thankfully, however, Shizune's glare brought Lady Tsunade's thoughts back to the subject at hand. Sakura gave a small sigh of relief before listening intently to the Hokage's explanation of their mission. Guard duty? Well, it admittedly wasn't as exciting a mission as she hoped it would be, but then again, she would take anything over the increasing monotony of her training...not to mention dealing with Naruto... Wait? Did she say, you three? Sakura realized, blinking in confusion as she looked around the room. Aside from herself, Hinata, Lady Tsunade, and Shizune, there was no one else in the room. Hinata appeared to have reached the same line of thought, her eyes darting across the room with a perplexed look, before her expression turned somewhat hopeful. M-maybe Naruto-kun... , the Hyuga girl started to think, a blush forming on her face, along with a small smile. However, it was interrupted as Tsunade called for the third member to join them, Sakura and Hinata both turning their head to the newcomer, the latter's optimistic look fading away before being replaced by one of curiosity. Ramino family? She had never heard that much of them... Sakura, on the other hand, smiled at the black-haired, porcelain skinned young woman. She opened her mouth, about to extend a greeting in kind to her, when she froze up at Shuri's rather lewd remark, the color in her face blanking. Unlike with Lady Tsunade's earlier comment, however, she was able to muster up enough willpower to angrily sputter out, W-WHAT?!, Hinata cringing gently besides her as an angry vein appeared on the pink-haired girl's forehead. Settle down, Sakura, Tsunade stated sternly, standing from her chair with her hands on her desk, and glaring at the cherry-blossom haired young woman. Almost immediately the medical-nin clamped her mouth shut and straightened her posture, turning apologetically to the Hokage. Shizune gave the same chastising stare of disapproval to Shuri that she gave Tsunade, though the latter seemed more annoyed at Sakura's outburst than the perverted comment of the Ramino heiress. Now, the Senju continued, sitting back down in her chair, the movement causing her breasts to jostle. This will obviously not be an easy mission, nor will it be a short one. The tunneling efforts, depending on any shortcomings the workers come across, will take a couple of months at best . Folding her fingers together, she looked at the three shinobi standing before her. You are to send us weekly status reports, no matter how little activity goes on. And under no circumstances are any of you to leave the town until the trade route has been completed. Is that understood? Sakura and Hinata replied simultaneously with answers of Yes, Lady Tsunade, bowing their heads quickly once more.
