Sakura woke up but stayed snuggled into her bed in her nice pajamas. As she snuggled in she began to think outloud.
"Kakashi-sensei said he was gonna keep us back for another two years, wow."
With a sigh she sat up but kept her blanket wrapped around her.
"It's a given that Kakashi-sensei will train Sasuke while Naruto and I are left out." She said. "But if I know Naruto he'll find someone to train with." She took a breath leaned her head against the wall. "It's always the same, Sasuke and Naruto get stronger while I trail behind having them protect me. I'm so tired of it!" She began to think about who she could get to train her. "Let's see, Kurenai-sensei? No she's got her hands full with that crazy Kiba. Asuma-sensei? No he'd probably go crazy with Ino and I fighting all the time. Maybe Gai?" Her skin crawled at the thought of the very "youthful" man teaching her.
She let herself slide back down onth her pillow and sighed, but then she got an idea.
"Hokage-sama! She's the famous sannin Tsunade! The famous medical nin!" Sakura's face lit up. "Yeah she could train me, train me to be a medic. Haruno Sakura medic nin of squad 7... I like the sound of that." She smiled but then another thought invaded her head. "She's probably so busy that she wouldn't have time to train me."
"How do you know?" Her inner asked.
"Well being Hokage and all." Sakura said.
"Yes but you never know!" Her inner told her.
"But why would she want to train me? It's not like I'm the greatest kunoichi." Sakura said.
"Well it couldn't hurt to at least ask!" Her inner said.
Sakura nodded her head then changed into some clean clothes. She walked out of her house and made her way to the Hokage tower. As she got closer she began to get very and I mean VERY nervous. When she finally got up to Tsunade's office she was sweating buckets, not literally of course. She knocked three times and heard Tsuande say that it was open.
"Um Tsunade-sama?" Sakura called timidly.
Tsunade looked up from the papers she was looking and smiled.
"Oh what can I do for you?" Tsunade asked. "Sakura right?"
"Yeah that's me." Sakura said.
"Now then, why is it that you're here Sakura?" Tsunade asked.
"Well I was wondering if you would be so kind as to....train me?" Sakura said the last part very quiet.
"Come again? I couldn't catch that." Tsunade said.
"If you would be so kind as to train me!" Sakura said in a powerful voice.
Tsunade didn't say anything, she only gave Sakura a look over.
'Hmmm, she may have potential but if she's like most of the girls I've seen she's probably trying to get that Uchiha's attention.'
"Tell me why do you want me to train you?" Tsunade asked.
"Because, I'm tired of being the weak link of my squad. It's always the same, either Kakashi-sensei protects all of us or Naruto and Sasuke-kun protect me." Sakura started. "I want to prove that I can take care of myself, that I don't always need them to help me." She began again before Tsunade could say anything. "I want to be able to heal Naruto and Sasuke-kun and I want to be able to be useful to them, instead of just dragging them down."
Tsunade smiled, this girl was defianately worth training.
"Okay but first you have to prove to me that you can at least heal a basic wound." Tsunade said. "Here go to this section in the Konoha ninja library and study up. Once you think you're ready come see me and I'll have a look for myself." She said as she scribbled something down on a piece of paper.
Sakura took it and bowed to Tsunade.
"Hai Tsunade-sama!"
She walked out in complete bliss.
'I'm going to be the Godaime's apprentice!!!!' She screamed in her head.
She quickly made her way to the library and went to the section as indicated on the paper given to her. When she looked on the shelves there were multiple scrolls on medical jutsu.
"Hmmm, where to start?" She asked aloud.
Her eyes scanned the rows until she spotted a reasonable choice.
"Basics of medical ninjutsu." Sakura smiled as she took it off a shelf.
She went to a nearby table and opened up the scroll. She read down the enitre scroll taking everything she read and storing it away for future use. The more she read the more she got interested that is until two people invaded her mind just out of the blue, very rare for Sakura.
'I wonder what Sasuke-kun is doing?' She pondered. 'More importantly I wonder what Naruto is doing....wait! Did I just think 'more importantly'?!'
Her head hit the table and she groaned, damn that wood was hard.
"What's wrong with me? I asked Naruto to stop asking me out and now suddenly I can't stop thinking about him?" Sakura said.
She propped her head on her hands and began to think.
"Let's see, what could possibly cause me to like Naruto in that way?" Sakura began. "Well he is cute, even I'll admit that. He's very strong and he's very sweet, sure he's an idiot most of the time but that just adds to him being cute." Sakura began to think more then she came up with another argument. "Okay, Sasuke-kun or Naruto? Well Naruto is cute but Sasuke-kun is hot."
Sakura's head hit the table again.
"I have known Naruto practically my entire life so I guess it's not unheard of that I may like him. Oh! I know, I just have a small crush on him nothing more nothing less! My true affection is for Sasuke-kun no worries!" She told herself and went back to studying. She distracted herself of the blond ninja with studying but he was still in her head.
Sakura soon finished the first medical scroll then moved onto the next and the next and the next. She looked up out the window and noticed that it was already dark out.
"Wow, I must have been reading longer than I thought." She got up and but her latest study on the shelf.
As she walked home she couldn't help but feel confident in herself. She got some last minute studying in before she crashed, as she slept she had a dream about....Naruto.
Dream
"Hey Naruto!" Sakura called.
He turned around with an abnormally calm face.
"What's up Sakura-chan?" He asked.
Sakura stopped infront of him and held her hands behind her back. She looked up at him and blushed.
"Do you think you might want to go out tonight?" She asked.
Then Naruto did the unexpected, he laughed.
"Please I've got better things to do."
"What do you mean?!" She asked as she grabbed his arm.
He looked away and she thought she saw a look of sadness.
"You told me to back off and I am, I've moved on." Naruto said as he ripped his arm free of her grasp.
"What are you saying?" She asked again.
"What I'm saying is....get out of my sight!" He yelled.
Dream over
Sakura woke up and was sweating. She walked over to the picture of squad 7, she had been looking at that a lot lately. Her finger traced over Naruto.
"You would never be that mean to me....right Naruto?" She asked aloud.
As she looked at the Naruto in the picture she began to feel something she used to only feel for Sasuke. Sakura blushed and slowly went back to her bed, the picture of squad 7 still in her hand. Her free hand did something that no 13-year-old girl should do, according to her mom anyway. Her hand traveled down into her pants then under her panties, sure she had done this before but now it wasn't because of Sasuke.
"Naruto." She whispered as she gently fingered herself.
She finally got off and went to sleep, with one hand on the picture and the other still down her pants. When she woke up the next morning she thought what happened last night was all a dream.
"Mmmn, what a weird dream." Sakura mumbled.
Of course her thought of it all being a dream was quickly shattered when she noticed where her hands were. One held onto the picture of squad 7 while her other hand was down in her panties.
"I did NOT just masturbate to Naruto!......okay I did. ARGH!! What the hell is wrong with me?!" She groaned.
Sighing and not even bothering to get out of her pajamas she went over to the study material she had brought home. She tried to study but it just wouldn't happen, groaning she put her head in her hands.
"Why? Why did I have to get feelings for the blond knucklehead now of all times?!" She asked.
She put her head on her desk and focused on her studies.
"I need to study! Then I can become Tsunade-sama's apprentice, then I can worry about these weird feelings." Sakura told herself.
She once again threw herself into her studies. She went over the scrolls and manuals for days until finally she felt confident in herself.
"Okay, you can do this Sakura. You've practiced and you've done it before." Sakura told herself on the way to Tsunade's office.
Once again she knocked on the Godaime's door and was let in.
"Ah, are you here for your test?" Tsunade asked.
"Hai." Sakura answered.
"Good." Tsunade said.
She took out a kunai and made a small cut on her palm.
"Now then, come here and heal this." Tsunade said.
Sakura nodded and went over, she gently took hold of Tsunade's hand with one of her own. Applying chakra to her free hand she turned it into healing chakra and it became a green color.
She put her hand over the cut and the skin came back together without leaving a scar. Tsunade took her hand back and inspected Sakura's work.
"Good job, Sakura." Tsunade said.
"Arigatou gozaimasu!" Sakura bowed.
"Hmmm, I'm busy for today but meet me back here tomorrow and I should have time." Tsunade said. "Get ready Sakura, because you're about to go through some of the hardest training of you life."
Sakura gulped and walked out of Tsunade's office. As she walked back home her thoughts wandered to the sudden fascination of her blond teammate and current crush.
"Maybe if I just keep my distance I can put these feelings away." Sakura said.
She walked home and helped her mom with dinner then went up to bed in preperation for her new training.
________________________________________________________________________________________
You all know what happens next, team missions, Sakura blushes at the way Naruto heals her, they go out to ramen then he leaves.
And no that was not meant to be a long chapter either, nor super informative. And I've a had change of mind, instead of having Naruto hang with Sasuke more often he's just gonna keep to himself and train. So stay tuned the next chap will come out soon and guess what, two years will have passed!!! I know it seems like I'm rushing but you have to think, you're not writing this so you have no idea if I'm rushing or not so ;p
