"Yes." Erin suddenly spoke making Seiko and Kai furrow their brows.

Tsunade stayed silent for a few minutes examining the three.

It was as if she was contemplating what to do, "Erin you're dismissed." Tsunade said as she kept her eyes on Seiko and Kai.

Erin looked around confused, Kai and Seiko didn't even spare her a confused glance as well.

'What the hell is going on...' Erin wondered as she was hesitant to leave but eventually walked out.

As she made her way home she began to rethink the decision she made.

But it was a correct one; it wasn't the first time she had defied the rules and orders of the missions she was given.

All of those tunes it was valid reasons a ninja would defy them. So Erin didn't see a problem in her actions.

But the thick tension in the room and the request for her to knave had made her think she got in trouble.

Opening the front door and arriving at the empty house had drifted her thoughts away from morality to loneliness.

"I'm home..." She mumbled to herself.

It had been two days since Daiji had left for the S-ranked mission. Things had been bad.

Erin was denying his absence and the whole situation itself.

'I need a shower.' Was all she could think about as she made her way to the bathroom.

A knock at the door made Erin walk out of her bedroom.

"Just a minute!" She yelled as she had just gotten dressed.

Unlocking the door with a sigh, "Yes?" She spoke as she tore the door open, "Shizune?" Erin blinked a few times.

"Hey there! Good afternoon." Shizune smiled scratching her neck and holding onto that pig she carries around all the time.

"Is Uh..." Erin looked around confused, "Everything okay?" She hesitantly asked.

Shizune sighed, "I suppose so! I was sent by Tsunade-sama to come get you."

Erin furrowed her brows, "Is that so?" Doubts began to wander her mind, 'I wonder what she might want..is this about the mission?'

Shizune nodded which caused Erin to put on her shoes and walk out along with the older woman.

As they made their way to the Hokage's building, the tension was again thick.

Erin wasn't sure why it was today that seemed so stressful. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Shizune opened the double doors allowing Erin to walk in.

As soon as she did, she laid eyes on everyone in the room.

Seiko and Kai were standing there, and on the far left was none other than Danzo Shimura.
