Sakura was finding it difficult to focus as she headed toward the coordinates Tsunade had given her. They were supposed to lead her to Sasuke, and she was starting to doubt that he'd be there. After all, it wouldn't be the first time she'd arrive at her destination, only to discover that her target was no longer there.

Sakura quickly shook the worrisome thoughts from her head. She had to focus. Her objective was to use the element of surprise to her advantage and land at least one good hit on Sasuke. That's all she needed.

" I'll prove to him that I'm not the weak little girl he knew two-and-a-half years ago." Sakura thought, determination pushing her to go faster.

As she neared her destination, Sakura slowed, trying to think of the past way to attack. But before she could decide, she saw Sasuke.

And she lunged.

Sasuke watched in amusement as his ex-comrade charged at him. He lazily put out his hand to catch the oncoming punch, only to discover just how strong the young woman had become. When her fist made contact with his hand, he found the force was too strong for him to stop. So strong that he soon found himself flying backward into the rocks of a cliff that loomed above them.

Sasuke slowly tried to push himself out of the small indentation his body had made in the rock face. In doing so, he discovered that moving his right arm even the slightest bit caused excruciating pain.

" She must have broken a few bones. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if she crushed my bones." Sasuke mused as he stood up, finding his back also hurt, though, it was more likely bruised than broken.

Sasuke began evaluating his current situation. He was injured and couldn't move one of his arms, thus making him unable to form hand-seals. His opponent, on the other hand, was completely unscathed and appeared to have exerted little effort in her attack.

Sasuke smirked. This was going to be interesting.


Author Notes: Yeah, I got bored and wrote this. This is my first Naruto fic, and my second fic overall. No, I will not continue this, because I suck at action scenes, and am way to lazy anyway. What happens next is for your crazy little imaginations to decide.

Disclamer: Yup, that's right, I'm Masashi Kishimoto, living out the dreams I have for a series I already have complete control over in fanfiction.

No? Okay, I don't own anything.
