Sakura Haruno didn't think she'd ever get tired of people underestimating her. To most people Sakura was a first generation kunoichi with no discernable skills to speak of, a no-talent little girl who liked to play nurse, a weak little weight upon the shoulders of great men or so the rumours went. Which was just fine with her. In fact, not only was it a great asset in the heat of battle but she found that the situations that sprung forth from the various misjudgments were downright amusing!
She may of been a first generation kunoichi, but she was just as or even more so skilled then her friends whom belonged to prestigious clans. She had precise chakra control that could rival Weapon Mistress TenTen, the power of her mind to rival - and often beat - Mind Technique Master Ino and a delicate touch of power to rival the Hyuuga Heiress Hinata.
Her first date with her first boyfriend, a chuunin from the Hyuuga clan, found this out when he tried to force her into a good night kiss after a rather boring date. While he lied there on the street in a rather tangled heap of his own blood and limbs, Sakura couldn't help but remark how lucky he was to come from an well respected clan with such a powerful doujutsu. He must've been able to see every single hit of her's that landed!
She may of liked her profession as a medical kunoichi and apprentice to the Legendary Slug Sannin, but often it was forgotten that the title of such had to be earned.
Many folks, shinobi and civilian - Konoha natives and foreigners - alike merely assumed she had gotten her rank due to the fact that she was best friends with the loud mouth blonde, Naruto, that the new Hokage seemed to favour. Why else would the Fifth Hokage amuse herself with such a weak no-talent kunoichi?
Several shinboi found the answer to that question the hard way when they tried to play doctor to the pink haired nurse. This was a mistake, one in which you needed no doujutsu to see.
While Sakura may of liked to use her medical talents, and she had plenty to speak of, she had learned them by being Tsunade's apprentice. The same Tsunade who passed down to the pink haired kunoichi everything she knew.
Everything.
There were many other situations that constantly sprung forth - grabby diplomats, of varying ages, who found themselves unconscious in the women's portion of the public onsen to misogynistic patients who found themselves conveniently getting to know one another due to some rather creative bandaging to severely annoying and misinformed suitors who ended up needing protection from her rather spot on hits - and they never ceased to keep Sakura amused.

I know. I know.
But you're not even done with Naruto's collection yet!
I know. Trust me, I know and I have the next one already planned out for him, as well as one for Kagome's collection, but this drabble just screamed to me and it only seemed to fit in a collection for Sakura rather than stand alone. She was going to get her own series of drabbles eventually, it just happened sooner than I thought. All you can do now is enjoy them and keep tuned for more!
