Naruto shot out of bed the next morning, quickly getting dressed and eating breakfast. He knew Sakura was normally a late sleeper, and as they didn't have any missions this week, she would probably still be in bed. After eating his morning ramen, Naruto ran out the front door and all the way to Sakura's house.
"I hope she hasn't already left," Naruto thought. He proceeded to do the dumbest thing possible: walk into her her house, calling her name.
Sakura woke up at the sound of Naruto's voice. "Oh no, he's probably looking for me!" she thought. "There's no way I can face him after the things I did yesterday!" As Naruto's calls came closer and closer, Sakura quickly made her bed. Just as she heard his voice outside her closed door, she dived under the bed. "If only my parents were home..." she thought.
"Hey, this must be Sakura's room!" Naruto exclaimed, opening the door and looking inside. "Aw...she must have left already! The bed's made and everything..." He stepped inside and looked around. He huffed in sadness and sat down on her bed, failing to hear the painful grunt from under him. "Ah, Sakura's bed...it smells just like I thought it would..." he let himself fall onto the bed, and this time he heard a tiny squeal. "What was that?" Naruto said aloud. "It sounded like it came from under the bed..." He got off the bed and crouched down next to it, peeking under...
"There's nothing there..." Naruto thought to himself. He stood back up, and it hit him. "Oh! The window's open...it must have been the wind!"
Sakura ran down the street, her heartbeat slowly coming down after her almost being caught by Naruto. She mentally prepared herself for the day. "Places to avoid: Ichiraku Ramen, Tsunade's Office, the Hospital...People to avoid: Naruto, Sai, Kakashi, Tsunade, Shizune, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji..." Sakura sighed. "This is hopeless, Ino will have told everyone!" She looked around, and saw people giving her weird looks on the streets. "See, it's already happening...wait a second..." She looked down. "...I'm still wearing my pajamas..." She slouched, turned around, and slowly made her way back to her house, hoping Naruto had already left.
Unfortunately, when Sakura arrived at her house, Naruto was still laying on her bed. But apparently luck was on her side, because he was asleep. She climbed back in through the window silently, reaching her dresser and opening it. She picked out her clothes, and headed into the bathroom to change.
Afterwards, rather than walking back through her room and risking getting caught by Naruto, Sakura made her way to the front door, pushing it open and looking back behind her to make sure Naruto hadn't seen her. What she saw made her jaw drop. About 50 Narutos were on the road behind her, and from how they looked she could tell they had all been tiptoeing. They all froze, and then a voice rang out: "Get her!"
Sakura screamed and took off with the mob chasing her. They ran through the village loudly, while villagers stood watching in shock. After five minutes of running as fast as she could, she took a wrong turn and ended up in an alley with a dead end, and she knew what she had to do. The clones would be easy...but once she got to the real Naruto, the actual fight would begin. A clone came at her, so she threw a kunai knife at it. It went straight through him, and then straight through five others, all of them poofing away. The clones were all clustered together in the alley, so Sakura decided this was the best way to take them out. She threw two more kunai, killing ten more clones, and then three shuriken, which killed nine. Now that she was out of weapons, Sakura settled on her fists to take down the last twenty-five. Five attacked her at once, so she grabbed one by the wrists, swinging him around to hit all the others, and then punched it in the face. Next, ten came at her, and she fought them off one by one until they were all gone.
"Only ten more..." Sakura said aloud, trying not to sound tired. Then she got an idea. "Sorry Naruto, but this is gonna hurt a little!" she stomped her foot on the ground, using the last of her chakra, and the ground came up in front of her in a line. All ten Narutos yelled and disapeared. Sakura grinned.
"Got them all! All...fifty...clones..." Sakura's smile disappeared as she realized what she had just said.
Two arms wrapped around her from behind, and a voice whispered in her ear, "Gotcha."
