John to the rescue and Narutos departure

John and Kakashi are in the hokages office just finishing telling Tsunade how the mission went "good i got another mission for you both i need you to back up Genin that i sent to back up the sand village" Tsunade said before John and Kakashi get ready to step out of the office "wait i'm sending someone else with you two" Tsunade said before the door opened and walked in Jiraiya

while Kakashi, Jiraiya and John are following Pakkun as he follows the scent of naruto. John sees sand in the air spinning like a tornado. so he heads in that direction away from the other three. once John arrives he sees Gaara on one knee and a white heard guy with strange things on him flying over Gaara. so John pull out the new sword he was given and jumps down

the white heard guy ready to attack Gaara as John hits the white heard guy breaking the strange thing on him and making him fall to the ground "Giant sand burial" Gaara said as the white heard guy gets buried in the sand. after the guy is buried Gaara collapses and John catches him and sets him on the ground and checks on him. Gaara is only exhausted

"John how is Gaara" Kankuro asked as he and everyone ran over

"he's only exhausted he needs some time to rest" John said as he picked Gaara up and started walking back to the Leaf village

Back in the Leaf village a few days after saving Gaara. John is in the library with Sakura who is trying to bring a fish back to life " i can't believe that you're not going with Naruto and Jiraiya to train" Sakura said

"the reason i'm not going with them is that Jiraiya has taught me everything he knows" John said as he walked up behind Sakura and puts his hands on hers to help her revive "and i doubt that you girls could go two years without me" he said as the fish came back to life and jumped in a pool of water. John gives Sakura a kiss on her neck

"uh Sakura you got a minute" Ino said as John and Sakura turn around

"Ino is something the matter" Sakura asked

"you see it's like this. i've been wondering now for a while now. it became clear to me on are last mission. i can't do this anymore. not like this anyway" Ino said before looking down "i saw how important your job was to the mission. the way everyone depended on you. i realized that i want to be a medical ninja like the both of you. i'm asking if you could ask Lady Tsunade about it"

"sure" sakura said with a wicked grin on her face "but you know what this means don't you. it mean you are my protege from now on. someone i get to boss around. can you handle it" ino starts to get mad "man i have always wanted to have my own protege. but i got to warn you i'm going to work you hard"

that makes Ino snap "that's what you think just you wait i'm going to leave you in the dust" Ino said

what Ino said made Sakura snap "if anything is left in the dust it will be you ugly face" Sakura said getting in Inos face

"yeah you and your big forehead" Ino said

John walked up to the girls and says "you two need to calm down before someone gets hurt"

"Stay out of this" both Ino and Sakura said before they punch John sending him flying threw a window and down onto the street " John " both said as they ran over to the window to see that John landed on top of Lee. Tenten was standing above John and Lee who where unconscious. as Tenten looked up to see where John fell from she sees Ino and Sakura standing at the broken window before she runs after them
