That bell is tolling for something [Closed]
Who: Sakura and Lord Hokage Sama Dono Obito
Where: The Hokage Office
When: July 3rd
Notes: Nagato is bad with secrets. So is Shisui?? Somehow this all means Sakura is in trouble with the Hokage.That's exactly her story and she's sticking to it
Ultimately it might have been a good idea for her to cut her losses and race Nagato for telling the Hokage about her meeting with the man once it was clear during the exams he recognized her...but there wasn't any proof or reason for Nagato to tell him, and by then it was too late to report it without being held accountable for omitting information on a report anyway.
She probably should regret not telling the Hokage about the meeting with Pein in the first place, but no threat to the village came of it, and if she was still being summoned to see him during a grace period, then she saw no benefit to having told him in the first place. After all, at the time there was no telling that the village leader would have had any interest in speaking with hers about the brief and harmless actions of a lowly chuunin like herself. In this eventuality, at least it seemed his anger was spread amongst more than one shinobi. Had she reported her blunder originally, it would have been a mistake on her record that couldn't be deflected.
If in fact she'd been allowed to continue at all. Which was why she'd kept it to herself, really. The mistake she'd managed to make on something as simple and routine as a patrol would easily have earned a demotion or dismissal if the Hokage felt like it, and she wouldn't be able to fault him for it if he did. Between the remote possibility of unpleasant consequences to her brief interaction with Pein and the almost certain result of unpleasant consequences for reporting it, she couldn't find it in herself to regret the (in retrospect) unwise decision not to report it.
...But none of that was an attitude that she could present to the Hokage. Some of it could easily be interpreted as treasonous, and given her already unfavorable position, it was best not to test the Hokage's temperance on that.
Instead, her expression was...an anxious shade of the inscrutable wall she usually kept up when dealing with authority figures such as the Hokage. Upon arriving at the office, though, she did make one last attempt at deflection. In comparison to the lives of those around her she might not value her life very highly, but on its own...she still had healthy self-preservation. At least by her own reckoning.
"Ah, if the Hokage is busy, I can return later..."
