End of Recap
Sakura's POV
Sakura went home exhausted. Her outfit was torn in many places and she was covered in mud and sweat. She opened the door of her house slowly. She was late for supper and Takeru would surely kill her for that. Respect the cook, he said. She masked her chakra the best she could and tried to get up the stairs quietly. Key word; tried.
-Crack-
'-Oh, shit!'
"-HARUNO SAKURA! GET YOUR ASS HERE!" a voice roared downstairs.
'-We're in trouble.'
'-I know…' Sakura was truly scared.
"-I SAID NOW!" Sakura practically flew down the stairs. She faced her red hair brother, who was also red faced for this occasion. Wearing his normal black cargo pants, grey T-shirt with his jounin vest on it, he looked murderous. The pineapple in his left hand and the knife in the other added to Sakura's fear. Green eyes met green eyes. Sakura tried to put an innocent face on.
"-You called Nii-chan?" Her brother growled.
"-Don't "Nii-chan" me. You're late for supper. Explanation. NOW!" The knife shinned, Sakura sweated.
"-Well hum, you see, we were split into our genin teams and, well.." She played a bit with her hair.
"-Well, get to your point!" Takeru brandished the pineapple near her.
"-Kenji-sensei said that we didn't need a test, but because of that he made us train like hell. Then he said that what we just did was just his 'easy' training. Please don't kill me! I'm sorry!" Takeru smirked.
"-Is that all? You should've said so sooner. Now, come eat. Skipping meals isn't healthy. And don't ever be late again! Understood?"
"-Hai!"
"-Good." They entered the kitchen.
"-Nii-chan? Could you please put down the knife?"
"-Yeah, sure."
"-The pineapple too?...Please?"
-The next day…-
No POV
"-Mou, Sensei, why do we have to get up so early! What are we going to do?" Naruto whinned.
They were meeting on the same red bridge then yesterday. Naruto was wearing his usual outfit, Sasuke too, and Sakura was wearing the same one as yesterday. Their sensei, as they just noticed, had his headband tied around his neck, and looked annoyed with Naruto's question.
"-What do you think? Picking up flowers?!" As Naruto opened up his mouth to speak, he sighed and continued. "-Never mind. We're going to train. I want you to run 10 times around Konoha. Execution."
They started running at a mild pace.
"-FASTER!" and they all ran for it. Didn't want to die yet.
-Two hours later-
They were now in a forest.
"-That was…Lame. Seriously. Now, you'll be doing that every day, understood?" Sakura flinched.
'-He sound exactly like Nii-chan'
'-Hell ya, that's way too scary!!'
"-Now, we'll work on charka manipulation. I want you to climb up this tree, without your hand." Naruto looked incredulous.
"-WHAT? HOW?!" Sakura felt the urge to punch him. "-Baka! With Chakra of course!"
"-Sakura, don't call your teammate names. Naruto, You're going to climb by concentrating and putting your chakra in your feet. Now try it, concentrate." The three genin closed their eyes and started running each in direction of a tree.
-Slip-
-Crash-
-Boom-
"-Hey, that was easy!" Naruto and Sasuke glared, Sakura grinned and Kenji smirked.
"-I always knew there was at least one of you capable of something. Good job Sakura." He then turned to face Sasuke and Naruto, who were still on the ground and sweat dropped. "-You guys really suck. Try again. AND CONCENTRATRE! Now Sakura, come with me please." He motioned for her to come.
She went down the tree and followed him until they came near a river. Kenji made a clone, sent him to watch the boys and finally faced Sakura.
"-I want you to do the same, but on water. Can you do that?" Sakura nodded.
"-Hai(1)!"
"-Perfect, now start."
Sakura slowly got her feet on the water and tried to walk a bit. When her feet started drowning she looked confuse, then as realization hit her she smirked and stopped drowning. When her feet were back at the surface of the water, she smiled and started walking faster, then running. Kenji smirked.
'-Chakra genius heh? Good. She'll make a perfect medic nin.'
"-That is sooooo cool!!" Sakura seemed to forget her sensei was watching as she started jumping.
"-Yeah, yeah it is." Sakura blushed.
"-Uh, gomen sensei. I forgot you were there." Kenji laughed.
"-No prob. But never forget to watch your surrounding. Now, I want you to meditate, you need more chakra. You know how to do that?" Sakura nodded. "-Good, so you will meditate AND in the same time stay at the surface of the water AND I want you to be able to watch your surrounding. Clear?"
"-Crystal sensei. But… How do I watch my surrounding with my eyes closed?" Kenji smirked.
"-With Chakra of course." Sakura looked confused. "-Aah, you need to find out by yourself. Now, I'll be going, Naruto and Sasuke are fighting again." She giggled and he added as and after thought. "-Come here for a sec."
When she was next to him, he gave her some weights.
"- Put that on your wrists, legs and arms." She fell down. "-Use your chakra!" Slowly she got up. He ruffled her hair and smiled. "-Good job. Now do what I said. I'll make my clone watch over you. Ja ne(2)."
Sakura sat on the water and closed her eyes.
'-Ok. Now how the HELL DO I WATCH MY SURROUNDINGS?!'
'-Maybe by…'
'-I MEAN COME ON?! WHAT THE HELL?!'
'-Oy, I'm trying to talk.'
'-FIGURE OUT BY YOURSELF! YEAH RIGHT!'
'-OY!!'
'-THAT'S BULLSHIT! THAT'S JUST FRICKIN' BULL…'
'-WILL YOU SHUT UP!'
'-…'
'-Now. Why don't you try emitting Chakra waves around ya?'
'-Well…That's not stupid! It might work! Why didn't you say so sooner?'
'-I will not comment on this…'
-With the boys-
"-Naruto! Sasuke! If you have enough energy and Chakra to try and kill each other, tell me WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU ABLE TO CLIMB A STUPID TREE?!" Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other in… Fear? Kenji sighed dramatically. "-And on such a magnificent day too. How can you be soooo lousy when it's a very special day?! (A/N: Cath, if you don't take the hint, I'm drowning myself. Seriously thought, "Pas subtile!".)" Naruto looked confused.
"-Is it the birthday of someone today?" Kenji smiled.
"-Yeah, A very nice person, always there for her friend, that's very fun to hang around with and talk to. You should meet her one day, she's awesome." He sighed mentally.
'-If she could restrain herself to NOT jump on him. Or Jump him, ether way (3).'
Sasuke frowned.
"-Is she strong?"
"-Enough to kick your ass. Now, STOP TALKING AND GET ON WITH YOUR TRAINING!"
Sasuke and Naruto gulped in fear. Again.
They had the feeling they would do that many, many times in the future.
-Special Part-
A red(4) haired girl sat behind her desk, in the back of the class, trying to understand what the teacher was explaining. Something about poem. And other troublesome things like that. She sighed and passed a hand through her hair.
'-That.Is.So.Troublesome…Damn.'
"-Psssst. Hey, cerma. Psssst!" She turned and looked quizzically to the girl next to her.
"-What?" The brown haired girl passed her a paper.
"-Oh my god, don't tell me that YOU passed a paper! In class too?!" The brown haired girl smiled.
"-Oh shut up. It's Cyn who wanted you to find the word written in that… thingy."
Cerma frowned. She unfolded the paper. She started snickering. She wrote her answer. Then turning to the brown haired girl next, she tried to get her attention. With no success. Then not noticing the teacher who was walking toward her she started waving her hand.
"-Cath, heyyyy, Catwomen. Take the freakin' paper." Still not noticing the teacher who was now dangerously close, she continued waving. Finally her friend took the paper. The teacher was right in front of her. Cerma laughed nervously. The teacher noticed the brown haired girl hiding something, aka the paper, behind her back.
"-I see you have time to loose in my class." The brown haired girl pointed the black haired girl next to her.
"-It's her not me." The teacher took the paper.
"-Well, that's kinda…Original." Cerma snickered. Cath sent a glare. The teacher showed the paper to all the class. The class laughed and the three girls in the back blushed. When the bell finally rang, Cath turned to Cerma.
"-Nice going "Miss Subtile"."
