Recap:

'That was weird.' I hurried my way back to the arena. I saw Shikamaru and the sound girl's fight was almost over. I waited a couple of minutes and Shikamaru won. The board then started picking names again and it landed on…


"Uzumaki Naruto vs. Inuzuka Kiba." Naruto was yelling that it was finally his turn. I quickly ran to Hinata, ignoring a look Sasuke was giving me.

"H-hello Sakura-chan." She said surprised.

"Hinata-chan, say good luck to Naruto as he walks by." I whispered. She blushed and asked,

"W-why?"

"Just do it…now." I said as I gave her a little push. She then stood in front of Naruto blushing harder.

"Hi Hinata-chan."

"A-ano, Naruto-kun, g-good l-luck." She said on the verge of fainting. Naruto smiled big and said,

"Arigato Hinata-chan!" He then ran down the steps as I went up to Hinata, who was dazed.

"Good job Hina-chan. You talked to him without fainting." I said proud. She just nodded and went back to her team. I went back to my team as Sasuke asked,

"What the hell was that about?" I rolled my eyes and answered,

"I'm trying to help Hinata gain confidence." He just looked at me with annoyance on his face then turned to watch the fight. I just shrugged and watched Naruto's fight. I then took a peek at Hinata and saw she was nervously glancing at Neji. I went over to her and whispered,

"Don't worry about your cousin Hina-chan, just focus on Naruto's fight." She looked at me and asked,

"How d-did you k-know?" I smiled and answered,

"You guys have the same blood limit so I figured he is your cousin." She smiled and said,

"Arigato Sakura-chan." I smiled back and went back to my team. I looked down and saw Naruto was having trouble with Kiba. I sighed in frustration and thought,

'I hope this goes well.' Then suddenly my eyesight was a little fuzzy. I rubbed my eyes and looked around to find my eyesight was back to normal.

"Are you okay Sakura?" Kakashi asked. I looked at him and nodded. He gave me a suspicious look then went back to watching Naruto's fight. Naruto was getting beat up by Kiba and Akamaru. Kiba was going to fast for Naruto to keep up with. I then heard Kurenai mutter under her breath,

"This is an easy fight and Kiba's going to win." I turned to her smiling and said to her,

"That's what you think Kurenai-sensei. Naruto's gotten a lot stronger." She looks at me surprised then turns to watch the fight.

"NOW GET READY FOR MY SPECIAL MOVE!" I heard Naruto yell. He bent down and did a seal. Kiba then ran behind Naruto who farted. I made a disgusted face and rolled my eyes.

"Well that wasn't it but it helped." Naruto said looking at Kiba who was covering his nose from disgust.

"Hurry the hell up Naruto!" I yelled at him. He nodded and made some clones. The clones made a circle around Kiba and kicked Kiba in the air.

"Uz-u-ma-ki Rendan!" The Narutos yelled as they kicked Kiba in the air. The real Naruto was in the air and kicked Kiba to the ground.

"Winner *cough* Naruto Uzumaki." Hayate said. Naruto ran up to the stands cheerfully while everyone else was surprised he won.

"Um, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked him.

"What is it Hinata-chan?" She blushed and held out some ointment. Naruto looked at it confused as I sighed and said,

"Take it, it helps your wounds heal. I'm not going to heal you." He nodded and took it.

"Thanks Hinata-chan." Naruto said to her. She blushed even more and looked at me. I gave her a thumbs up and smiled. She smiled as she saw Kiba coming up the stands from the hospital.

"Are you trying to get the Hyuga girl and the dobe together?" Sasuke asked low enough for only me to hear.

"Yes, why do you ask?" I answered back in the same volume.

"The dobe will figure it out on his own." He said. I looked at him with one of my eyebrows lifted and asked,

"Really Sasuke? You have too much faith in Naruto."

"You have too little faith in him." He answered. I huffed and stuck my tongue out at him. He looked at me and smirked.

"Real mature Sakura." He said teasing me. I smiled and said,

"Who said I was mature?" He rolled his eyes and looked at the board that was randomly choosing names. The names slowed down and landed on,

"Hyuga Neji vs. Hyuga Hinata." Hinata gasped and looked at Neji. He glared at her and walked down to the arena.

"Hinata you don't have to do this." Kiba said to her. I walked up to her and asked,

"Are you sure you want to do this Hinata-chan?" She looked at me and nodded confidently. I smiled and nodded back. She walked down as Kiba said,

"What the hell Sakura!" I glared at him and asked coldly,

"Do you have a problem?" he gulped and answered back,

"N-no, it's just Hinata's going to get hurt."

"You don't believe in your teammate?" I asked with one eyebrow raised.

"I do but she-"

"Just watch." I commanded as I walked back to my team. I for some reason started digging around my bag. I smiled mischievously when I felt a certain something in my bag.

"Sakura what-"

"Don't even ask Sasuke." Kakashi interrupted Sasuke. He just stayed quiet and watched the fight.

"Hinata-sama" Neji said coldly.

"Hello Neji-niisan." Hinata said as she got in her stance. Neji did the same and waited Hayate to say start.

"They're related?" Naruto yelled.

"Yes, they're cousins." I answered quietly.

"How do you know?" Kiba asked me.

"It's kinda obvious. I know Hinata doesn't have a brother so they have to be cousins." I answered. Kiba just nodded and looked down at the fight worried. The fight already started and Hinata and Neji kept on dodging each other's Gentle Fist. During the fight Neji kept on hitting Hinata's pressure points on her left arm.

'Come on Hinata, you can do it.' I thought. Just then Hinata got hit in the heart with Neji's Gentle Fist. She fell to the ground not moving.

"It's destiny Hinata-sama that you would lose." Neji said. Just then Hinata stood up slowly and said,

"I'm not going to give up. It's my ninja way." Neji growled and was about to attack her, but I panicked and found myself in front of Neji's palm. Blood trickled down my chin as I glared at Neji's surprised face.

"Don't blame Hinata for your family problems. She has nothing to do with it." he just stood quiet and relaxed his stance. Naruto and some nurses appeared on the arena. While Naruto was making his speech about Hinata to Neji, a nurse came up to me and said,

"Miss, come with us to treat your injury." I wiped the blood of my chin and said,

"I'm fine, but I would like to take a look at Hinata. I am also a medical ninja." she hesitated for a moment but agreed. She led me to Hinata and I started working. I know what fight is coming next. I could just picture the board showing,

"Gaara vs. Rock Lee." I didn't want to watch that fight so I decided to heal Hinata. Not that I wouldn't do it anyways. I ignored my pain as I almost finished healing Hinata. Her skin became warmer and the color returned to her cheeks.

As I finished Hinata and started to heal myself. She groaned then saw me. She looked surprised when she saw I was healing myself. I smiled at her and said,

"Don't worry I'm just healing myself." She nodded then said,

"Arigato Sakura-chan for saving me, helping me with Naruto-kun and giving me confidence." I looked at her surprised and stopped healing myself.

"You didn't stutter." I said in shock. She blushed and said,

"I don't stutter around people I'm comfortable with." I smiled at her and said,

"Hinata-chan I would do anything for you. You're my friend." she smiled at me as I thought,

'And I don't want to lose you again.'

Now you won't after you killed Orochimaru. My inner said.

'Yeah but I have a feeling that Kabuto has something up his sleeve. There's also the Akatsuki.' I replied. She nodded in agreement and said,

We'll deal with that later. Also Hinata's trying to get your attention. I went back to reality as Hinata said,

"Sakura-chan are you okay?" I nodded then said,

"We should go back to our teams now." she agreed as we walked back to the stands. I tried my hardest to not look at the fight, but it was too hard to ignore. I kept my head down until I got to my team. When I looked up I saw Kakashi with an angry expression…I think. He then started walking to a hall and I followed him. We stopped as he started to scold me.

"What were you thinking? You could've got killed!" I looked at him expressionless and replied,

"But I didn't. I was protecting my friend and doing my mission."

"By putting your life on the line?" he asked angrily.

"If that's what it takes." Kakashi was about to reply back but I put my hand in front of his face to tell him to stop and said,

"Sasuke go away." I heard footsteps disappear and put my hand down.

"I understand you protecting your friends, but there's a better way." I started to get irritated and snapped,

"Kakashi-sensei I know what I'm doing." I turned around and walked back to the stands. I looked quickly at the arena and saw it was the last fight. Choji and that sound ninja's fight started and finished by the time I blinked.

"All winners *cough* make your way *cough* to the arena." Hayate said. Naruto, Sasuke and I walked down and lined up in front of a box. Once everyone was in line, Hayate started explaining about the 3rd exam.

"You will each draw a number *cough* and I will put you in pairs." Everyone drew numbers until I was the last one. I put my hand in and took the last ball. I looked at it and it has a "4." we showed Hayate our numbers and he wrote down the pairs. I looked at the paper and it read:

1. Uzumaki Naruto vs. 2. Hyuga Neji

3. Gaara vs. 4. Haruno Sakura

5. Kankuro vs. 6. Aburame Shino

7. Nara Shikamaru vs. 8. Temari

9. Kinuta Dosu vs. 10. Uchiha Sasuke

I groaned as I read I would be fighting Gaara.

'Well I got to get this over with.' I thought as I glanced at Gaara.
