This was not what Sasuke had been hoping to encounter when he'd stepped out to buy flowers for his mother's birthday. It looked like almost all-out war in one corner, where he could make out three squabbling people in chuunin vests and a frazzled-looking Yamanaka Ino, and while he'd normally have just gone elsewhere, he was going to be out of town on a mission for the next two weeks, and her favourite flowers were among the ones in the display at risk of flailing arms.

If he was going to miss his mother's birthday, he wasn't going to leave her empty-handed. With a sigh, Sasuke headed over to the scene, plucking the loudest chuunin up by the back of the neck, much as if he were a misbehaving kitten.

"Is there a problem?" He asked, though the question was mostly directed at Ino.
