Where we last left off

The sudden sound of a horn blowing woke me up. I sat up and began to dress quickly. I saw sasuke crouched by the window. Then there was a sound of a large gong. I joined him at the window and we walked out onto the adjoining balcony. I looked around and saw the others out on their own balconies as well. Neji was glaring right at me. Well this is going to be a fun talk in the morning.

Finally the horns and gongs ceased. Below us in the courtyard, all the people in the village were gathered. Out came Suzume and he began to speak. "I HAVE GATHERED YOU ALL HERE TO MAKE A VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. IN TWO DAYS TIME WE WILL BEGIN A NINJA TRAINING PROGRAM." Mummers began through the crowd. "IT WILL BE LED BY TWO OF OUR GUESTS FROM THE HIDDEN LEAF VILLAGE. ALL GUARDS AND POLICEMEN ARE MANDATED TO ATTEND THIS TRAINING, NO EXCUSES. ANY OTHER MAN WHO WOULD LIKE TO TAKE PART, YOU MAY BEGIN TO SIGN UP FIRST THING TOMORROW WHERE YOU WILL UNDERGO A MEDICAL CHECK TO ENSURE YOU ARE FIT ENOUGH TO ENDURE THE RIGOROUS TRAINING. YOU MUST BE OVER THE AGE OF 15 TO JOIN. THIS WILL BE A NEW ERA OF STRENGTH FOR THE LAND OF ORE!" The crowd ruptured in applause and cheers. This is going to be quite an interesting month.

HINATA POV

The next day, Sakura and I met up in the main hallway after breakfast to head to the hospital. We walked together in an awkward silence. I could clearly see the discomfort in her face. I fought back a smirk. Good. We finally arrived at the hospital and made it to the room where we would be overseeing our new recruits. I scanned the room and there were about 67 people waiting. I guess more people decided to sign up.

Sakura then began to speak. "First we will begin with an informal written exam, just to get an idea of your current knowledge." Half the class deadpanned. This would be fun. As she spoke, I began placing the exams on each desk. When I was done, I raised my arm. "You may begin." I said. And everyone began their exams.

One hour later...

"PENCILS DOWN." Sakura yelled. "Bring your exams to the front of the room, and you may take a break while we look over the exams. Be back at approximately 9:45 so we can start the physical training."

One by one everyone came to the front of the room and handed the exams to Sakura and I then shuffled out the room. Sakura and I then sat down and began to look over the exams. As I read some of the answers I realized that the people here are absolute idiots and will end up killing people. Based on the frown on Sakura's face she was thinking the same thing.

"This has to be a joke." Sakura said. "These people will need a lot of work." I said and let out a long sigh. Sakura looked up at me surprised that I responded to her in the first place. Oh God. "Hinata...I'm really sorry about what I did, I shouldn't have invaded your privacy. Can we please be friends so we can get through this?" She said.

I looked at her blankly."Sakura. I don't hate you. You irritate me to no end, but I don't hate you. You hurt me a lot, taking Naruto from me. Although maybe I never had him in the first place. He always loved you. In the same way, you've always loved sasuke but you've never had him. I am willing to get along with you for the sake of this mission but if you do anything to get between Sasuke and I, I promise you to there will be hell to pay. Sasuke still isn't happy with you so I suggest apologizing to him as well." I said.

"Why are you so cold to me but act so nice and shy around everyone else? Sakura asked. "And I don't take kindly to being threatened but I would have done the same in your position." "I don't mean to be, but you've pushed me to that point Sakura. And that is not a threat, it is a promise." I replied coolly.

She didn't respond. I looked at the clock. "It's almost time for the students to return. Let's finish these schedules so we can really get things started. I hope you can put your feelings aside so we can help these people who really need it." I said. "Of course!" Sakura replied.

Normal POV

"OK So we finished grading your exams and I have to say I am utterly disappointed in the results. Have any of you even cracked open a textbook before? This shit is serious, throughout this training I want you to remember that the bridge between whether a person lives or dies will be you." Sakura said. The class remained silent. Many people looked down. One person began to cry. Hinata then stepped up holding a stack of papers.

"Here are the schedules of what you will be doing for the rest of the month. You all are to be here at 8 on the dot every morning where we will have an hour and a half lecture on Anatomy/Physiology. You will get a short break and then we will move to the actual physical training, which includes chakra control exercises and basic healing. That will last for as long as we see fit. Twice a week you are required to attend the ninja training, in addition to the physical workout you will have to do with us." Hinata said. The entire class groaned.

Sakura inched next to hinata. "That wasn't a part of the plan." She whispered. "Yeah but look at them, they need the discipline. And it'll be bad if as a medic they cannot defend themselves, you had Tsunade as your mentor I'm sure you'd understand." Hinata replied. Sakura smirked and nodded.

"Exactly!"Sakura started, facing the class once again. "It's one thing to be able to heal, but what use are you if you get killed on a mission? You need to be able to defend yourselves like a double edged sword." Sakura walked over to the wall. "I'm a skilled medic but..." She punched the entire the wall out. "...I can kick ass when I need too." She finished. "That was a bit much Sakura." Hinata said sweat dropping. "Let's begin with chakra control.

Everybody outside!" Sakura said pointing to the hole in the side of the building. No one in the class moved. They were paralyzed with fear of the crazy pink haired girl. Sakura twitched.

Suddenly Naruto and sasuke came rushing into the building. "What's going on we heard the crash-" "I SAID EVERYBODY OUTSIDE NOW!" Sakura yelled. Everyone scrambled outside with Sakura following.

"Never mind." Naruto said. Sasuke just shook his head. "Well I guess we're off then." Naruto said. The two turned to leave. "Wait!" Hinata said.

They turned around. "I need a favor." She started. "Of course! Anything for you hinata-chan!" Naruto said with a thumbs up. Hinata blushed. Sasuke frowned. "Well I told the class I want them to attend your class twice a week for combat training. Is that ok?" Hinata asked.

"Of course!" Naruto said. "Sure, I don't mind." Sasuke also replied. "Great! Thank you!" Hinata said with a smile. "Well we gotta head back now, see you later Hinata." Naruto said and began walking away. Once Naruto's back was turned Sasuke stepped closer to hinata and kissed her softly on the lips. Naruto looked back to see what was keeping sasuke, and his eyes widened. He turned back quickly before Sasuke realized he was watching. "I'll definitely see you later." Sasuke said to hinata. Hinata blushed and nodded her head. With a smirk playing at his lips, he turned and ran to catch up with naruto.
