"What are you doing Lady Tsunade...?" Homura asked adjusting his glasses. But Tsunade ignored him and continued to write. After a few moments Tsunade finally finished writing and took out the Senju Clan seal and stamped the scroll with it.

When Tsunade still didn't answer "Lady Tsunade...?" Homura asked again.

"A message to The Fire Daimyo..." She finally replied which left the three others in the room apart from the Senju Family to be shocked. "Depending on his reply, The Senju Clan will decide whether to be a part of the Leaf village or to leave it..."

She then turned to her son and said, "Naruto-kun... This scroll needs to be delivered to The Fire Daimyo by this evening..."

That's all Naruto needed to hear as he replied, "I'm on it mom..." He approached the window and opened it. He then started whistling lightly and soon a Peregrine Falcon came through the window and landed gently on his extended forearm.

"Isn't that the fastest bird on the planet...?" Koharu asked dumbfounded.

"It is..." Hiruzen and Homura both replied at the same time wide eyed.

"Buddy..., Can you deliver this to The Fire Daimyo in the Fire Nation's capital city...?" Naruto asked the bird. The falcon gently opened its wings and made some light screeching noises. "Thank you..." Naruto said and attached the scroll to the bird's legs and let it go. The bird took flight and gone through the window in the direction of capital city of the Fire Nation.

He can talk to birds...? was the thought running though the heads of both Koharu and Homura.

Tsunade stood up once the falcon is gone and said, "The message will reach The Fire Daimyo by this evening, The Senju Clan will wait for his reply..."

With that the three Senju family members left the Hokage cabin, leaving behind the three shell shocked and aged people. As soon as the Senju Family left the Hokage tower the birds still screeching and flying over the Hokage tower had also calmed down and returned.

"The Uchiha Clan mess was not even sorted yet and now we have to worry about this Senju Clan issue too...?" Koharu almost shouted.

"No matter what the Era, Senju and Uchiha will always bring issues..." Homura stated rubbing his temples.

Despite the situation, Hiruzen can't help but laugh at how his old teammates just pointed out the funniest truth about the Senju and Uchiha causing issues always. Koharu and Homura looked at Hiruzen like he grew a second head when he started to laugh slightly.

(3 Days Later... The Leaf Village...)

Word had already spread throughout the village about how the Senju Clan stood up for the respect that was denied for Sakumo Hatake and all those shinobi who valued what Sakumo did have started to nod their heads in respect to the Senju family whenever they crossed paths with any member of the Senju family.

Danzo was getting nervous day by day as he heard that a message from the Senju Clan Head had been sent out for The Fire Daimyo, but he buried that deep inside his poker face very well.

A day after the fastest bird on the planet took flight towards the capital city, Hiruzen received a word from the capital city that one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas will be coming after two days to make security arrangements for The Fire Daimyo's stay in the village, as he is all set to visit The Leaf Village to overview the issue of Sakumo Hatake and The Senju Clan. Today is the day when one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas was supposed to arrive.

(Hokage Cabin...)

"You sure have become a man behind the desk old man..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Hiruzen lifted his head to see his son Asuma standing before him. He let a genuine smile to grace his face and asked, "So you are the Guardian Ninja that is supposed to make arrangements for the stay of Daimyo here...?"

"Yes, I am..." Asuma said and fished out a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking.

"I didn't expect that the Daimyo himself would visit to solve the issue though..." Hiruzen muttered out loud as he picked up a note and started writing something on it.

"Well that's because he is furious..."

That made Hiruzen to pause in his writing as he looked at his son and asked, "Furious...? Why...?"

Asuma took a long drag from his cigarette and exhaled some smoke and then answered, "It's not my place to say... You'll know when he arrives..."

That made Hiruzen to raise an eyebrow, but nevertheless he finished writing in the note and handed it his son and said, "It has the hotel details where the Daimyo will stay... You can proceed with the security arrangements as you were instructed by the Twelve Guardian Ninjas."

Asuma took the note and turned around to walk away, but before exiting he looked over his shoulder and said, "Later old man..." and then he left, which caused the Hokage to smile and then go back to his paper work.
