"What do you want, Naruto?" the pink haired girl asked once she was standing in front of the blond. Naruto scanned the area before shooting a glare at Sasuke.

"I don't want to say in front of Sasuke," he muttered. Sakura rolled her eyes at his childishness, but followed him until Sasuke was out of ear shot. "Can you give me tips on climbing?" he asked sheepishly. "But don't tell Sasuke! Okay?" he insisted with a slight blush. Sakura smiled, a bit amused and feeling strangely gratified.

"Sure," she chirped, grinning. She liked the fact he could ask for help.
