The next few days they traveled back to the village hidden in the leaves.

Gaara, Bijin, Temari, Kankurou, Shoshin, Rei, Horror, and Alex entered the village hidden in the leaves. Gai, Genma, Shikamaru, and Kakashi walked up to them, "Well looks like they made it back!" Genma smiled. "Let's not waste time... Let's go see Tsunade-sama."
When they arrived at the Hokage's office Tsunade said, "Well looks They are back!" she smiled. Kakashi brought out his book and started reading. Shoshin rolled his eyes. "Kakashi! this is no time to be reading romance novels!" Genma chuckled slightly.
"This is troublesome..." shikamaru said. Gaara just stood in the doorway. Shoshin walked up to Tsunade and told her everything that had happened in the past few days. Shikamaru folded his hands, which was his habit.
"This medallion, as you know, contains a demon inside it and akatsuki wants it. There's only one way to destroy this without releasing the demon. You would have to go to the rice country and find the hidden rock. When you find it, put it on the top of the rock and say "Kaze niro no jutsu." The medallion will disappear." Tsunade finally finished.
"But to do this mission you'll need a-" Shoshin interrupted Tsunade. "We do not need a jounin! I am the level of a jounin!" Tsunade sighed. "You are the level of a jounin but you'll need a special jounin with you... And a tactition."
Genma raised his hand. "I'm a special jounin. I'll go." Shikamaru sighed. "I'll go too... but this will be a drag..." Kakashi raised his hand. "Just as long as i can make a stop to the bookstore before the mission!"
Shoshin smacked his head. "KAKASHI IS THAT ALL YOU EVER THINK ABOUT?!?"
"Mostly." Shoshin rolled his eyes. Gaara asked, "May we go back to our village?" Tsunade nodded but said, "Whoever wants to go with the group may go with them though." Kakashi yawned.
