There is a wisdom , my brothers and sisters, that light could surface from even the darkest of places. That hope could sumon courage , and conquer even the most futile of tasks.

That one day these emotions would collide and bring about nothing but caos and destruction. The world as we know it will fall to its knees and make way for war. It is during these times that peoples faiths will be tested, and only hope and bravery can lead on in search of a better tomorrow. It allows for a person to truely discover themselves and follow a path that will lead them to their destiny...

Swish, Swish, Swish. Three figures leaped from tree to tree, avoiding obsticles such as flynig shuriken, and deadly poisoned needles. One figure was unlucky enough to step on a branch with an explosive tag , and jumped to avoid the on coming flames.

'Damn, now I'm wide open to an attack'. At that instint, multiple fire balls were aimed heading straight toward him. Said person countered with a wave of raging winds, distinguishing the flames, but not enough to stop the shuriken flying through the air. 'Huh, Teme's got to do better than that to stop me'. With lightning reflexes, the person was able to deflect all the shuriken and stood tall with a grin adoring his face.

"Wipe that stupid grin off your face dobe. I'm just getting stared." The offender unsheathing his sword and rushing at his opponent. The later, responding by wipping out a kunai and running at him head on.

The two clashed and stood in a deadlock, niether willing to backdown in their stuggle for dominance. "Come on Sasuke-teme is that all you got! Your weaker than I remember you being last time."

"Shut up dobe I'm not even breaking a sweat yet, your the one who can't keep up." The two broke away at the same time and began furiously throwing punches and kicks at each other. "Well I can certainly see that your taijutsu hasn't improved very much Naruto. What have you been doing all this time while I was away?"

"Bastard, I'm stronger than you!" "Yeah right!" 'Hmp. Those two just won't stop. I swear they could go on for days if they wanted to.' Another figure hid behind a tree observiving the interaction between the two shinobi.

The slightly more petite figure continued to watch the two men spar, both having determined looks on their faces. If one of them faltered, the other one would strive forward and attempt to catch his opponent off gaurd. 'Its time I make my move'. With that said, the person sumoned up a small amount of chakra in her palm and punched the earth beneth her, creating an enormous crater. The two sparing broke away as to not get hit by the impact which sent rocks flying into the air.

Once separated, both ninja were bombarded by a flurry of cherry blossom petals. "Ninja art: Black pedal dance!" The seemingly harmless pedals were actualy tiny shards that glimmered in the sun's light and gave of the appearance of pedals. They were designed to give multiple tiny cuts to an opponent as they traveled in a tornado like fashion around them. "Chidori Nagashi!" "Kage Bushin no jutsu!"

Each were able to escape and despel the jutsu. One with a lightning tecnique, the other with the multiple clones summoned. Without warning, the clones made a mad dash for the third smaller person. Said person, however, smirked. She was prepared for this attack. Jumping back and landing in the middle of the pond near the training field, she brought her hands together and made a series of hand signs. "Water style: water dragon shock wave."

A large dragon made of water erupted from the surface and lashed out at the clones. After getting rid of most of them the dragon spread into a large wave and desended on the two remainng clones. Poof! Poof! The clones disapeared.

The small figure, with her attention drawn away, was not aware of the presence behind her, and was unprepard for the kick to her side that sent her flying into a tree. She was unable to react due to a pair of masculine arms that held both her wrists above her head in a vice-like grip. She looked up to see none other than a smirking Sasuke Uchiha.

"You should really pay more attention to your surroundings...Sakura."
