Chapter 1

Step 1: Fuck Sakura's ego

The well known team 7 was heaving its training session and of course, Naruto was screaming from the top of his lungs "I'll be the next Hokage … so don't underestimate me". On the other side is Sai … that is making presumptions about the size of a certain part of the body … male body. Poor little Naruto … and I'm not talking about his person … nooo.

Anyway, Scary Eyes Yamato is so absorbed by the two ninjas that he can't hear the snores of a certain sensei. You guessed that Yamato is on the training field to supervise The Nine Tail Fox and Naruto's dangerous feelings. On the other hand Hatake Kakashi is sound asleep with his book on his face as protection from the sun.

The fifth person, a pink haired girl is watching the fight wishing that at some point, al least one of the boys will acknowledge her … presence. But then again, she chose a boy-type-job. Yes, Sakura Haruno is waiting in vain for a miracle that will never come.

"I'm feeling stiffly" said Sakura changing the position of the branch she was on; a loud crack warned her to be more careful with Mother Nature. "Damn … my legs hurt" Another crack and Sakura was climbing higher in the tree. At the horizon Naruto was still fighting Sai. "They are just something else …" thought the girl. A strange feeling of jealousy aroused in the pink haired soul … she wanted to fight, to be noticed … to be powerful.

After another hour

"Ha … I win Sai … AGAIN" shouted the blonde. "I will be the next …"

"Hokage … something else … my ninja word … bla bla bla" said Sai with his usual blank stare … at least no more fake smiling.

"I'm surprised Sai" said Sakura "that after all this time you can't remember the exact words. I mean you heard them for at least … 1000 times"

"More"

"It doesn't help your intelligence, Sai … not that you have any" laughed Sakura

"Ugly …"

"Fuck you, Sai"

Kakashi, who was just waking up heard the last sentence, or the last swear and said eyeing Sakura

"Maybe that will help our team work … because form what I see, my training doesn't"

Sakura bit her tongue hard releasing from her mouth only a loud "S". Sai smirked and while their sensei was searching for his precious book, he showed her a big thumb down. I shouldn't add that she was about to explode and only the fact that Kakashi and Yamato were there, stopped her.

"You suck Sai … bad" mumbled the angry girl.

"I read in a book that men usually don't … suck"

Now Sakura was officially pissed off, very pissed off. Without a warning she grabbed Sai's neck and hissed with a voice unusual for her "You are a misogynic, uncommunicative, sexist asshole. And I promise you that if I hear another thing like that …. It will be my personal pleasure to snap your neck" and she squeezed the delicate skin between her fingers "in … two"

"Sakura"

She squeezed harder earning a whimper from the boy

"Sakura"

She felt she was losing it …

"Sakura … that is enough"

That voice … she heard that voice before … when she was a child … she remember; it was the voice of the authority … Kakashi-sensei's voice. She slowly let go.

"I think she's having her period" whispered Naruto. Yamato made a small sign with his head that meant he agreed.

Sakura was having a hard time, and their little jokes were not helping. "You know what" smiled Sakura turning around to face her team "I'm done"

"Sakura what's the problem … it's something wrong?" asked Yamato while he was trying to approach her. "If you are having you know what … you should tell us … I mean …"

Sakura was now laughing "You are all sexist pigs"

"Now Sakura, don't you think that you're crossing the line" said Kakashi with his baritone voice, kept hidden for situations like this. His eyes were searching for something, for an answer in her green orbs. The girl felt the authority, the pressure his voice was giving to her nerves; she was on edge and only that … sound, deep sound was keeping her steady.

Sakura's face was now red with anger and embarrassment, after all she had just received a speech from her sensei; a speech is longer but the consequence is the same … embarrassment and anger.

"I got to go" said Sakura approaching the tree line.

"Sakura …" again that voice … it was becoming annoying.

"What!" she snapped, turning around to face her teammates … and her sensei's black deep eyes "Why are you still insisting … it's not enough that you … fucked my ego in front of them" she said pointing at Naruto, Yamato and Sai "now you want, what … ?"

While Naruto was left with his mouth hanging open, Kakashi, who was after all the center of Sakura's anger, kept his calm and said "I want an explanation"

A loud noise, which could be identified as a laughter, emerged from the girls throat "You want an explanation? …. What are you to me … what have you done for me to make me owe you an explanation?"

"Sakura" said the man with a softer voice this time "I'm your sensei. I am just afraid; you are acting strange and unusual"

Sakura tried to find an excuse, to yell at him, but the only thing that came out was an "hmm". She was in no mood to argue with Kakashi or with any other teammate, so she left without answering for her strange behavior.
