"Training?" Sakura asked following Tsunade out to a training ground on hot afternoon. "Tsunade-sama, I already do training everyday."
"This training isn't for healing. A medical ninja must learn how to evade. What use are you dead?" Tsunade said setting a duffle bag down of the dry grass. She opened the bag and pulled out a baseball bat and a ball. "Go to the other end of the field."
"I can dodge a simple ball, Tsunade-sama." Tsunade smiled and threw the ball in the air. Sakura didn't se the movement, only the displace bat at the end. The ball hit her square in the stomach. Tsunade smiled as she watched Sakura tumble and fall onto the ground.
"You can't! Practice makes it so you can!" Tsunade pulled out three more balls and hit them again, all three hit Sakura in the stomach. Sakura leaned over to her left and began puking. "Get up and dodge!"
Sakura tried to get up, but continued vomiting on the ground. Sighing Tsunade set the bat down and walked over placing a hand on her back. Solemnly she began to speak. "Sakura, at the rate you're going… you'll never be a medical ninja."
Sakura stopped and got her wits and stomach about her. Breathing heavily Sakura stood up and threw Tsunade's arm off. "Go back to the bat."
"I see, you're serious about you're training." Tsunade said and stood up beside her, "no, today will be more rest for you. Meet me back here tomorrow at 5 AM sharp! We'll continue training then. I suggest you don't eat until after training."
"Uh… Hai." She said and began to walk away avoiding her stomach contents.
'Sakura, at the rate you're going… You'll never be a medical ninja.' Sakura just got more and more upset, walking down the streets of Konoha, two streams of tears rolling down her eyes and her hands clutching her stomach. She then saw something.
It was fuzzy in her weary eyes, a tall blue figure. Sakura ran towards it, "Shizune!" Sakura yelled running towards her, "Oy, Shizune!"
Sakura stopped right in front of her, Shizune quickly grabbed Sakura and sat her down on the street. "What happened? What's got you so…"
"I need help. I started training with Tsunade today… What got you through it?"
"Solider pills." Shizune said pulling out a small bag. "Here, take one right before training and for the love of all things decent, learn how to dodge fast. I came home with welts all over me for a year and a half."
"Oh…" Sakura moaned and fell face first on the dirt before her.
