Sasuke
The chakra infusion was over and I was exhausted. I had given her a lot of my chakra, at least half. She looked as though she loved it, looking up and down her arms and closing her eyes just to feel the chakra and the hatred that had deeply been rooted into my soul. I smiled at that, because she had had a seed of this hatred in her soul and I had just watered it. Now it was nearly as deeply rooted as my own hatred. I looked around me, the place I had chosen to rest was dark under the trees and had a deadly aura about it. It had a damp, mysterious smell to it and I had been here many times before. These woods had become very familiar to me over the years and I even had a hideout. From the rock I currently sat on I sprung up and ran upstream on the water into the waterfall. I heard Sakura gasp in surprise but I ignored her. Behind the waterfall was my cave and I glared about it. There was only one tiny mattress with a thin blanket covering it. I grunted in frustration and wished that Sakura had brought her own sleeping bag or something. Where would she sleep? I guess we would have to share or something. But that would be a problem for consideration later and for now I had enough stuff to think about. The plan was roughly formulated and chancy. What if I wasn't strong enough to take on Naruto? I snorted at that thought, of course I was strong enough. The real problem was the Hygua wench who was so attached to Naruto, but with the chakra I had given Sakura she should be able to defeat her. I half-smiled as I dug through the chest I kept in the cave. Lots of clothes (all too big for Sakura), a flashlight, batteries, a water bottle, soap, and a dried piece of bread in a little baggie. I horked down the bread as Sakura wandered into my cave.
"Whatcha doing?" She asked, a big smile on her face.
"Looking for food." I grumbled in annoyance, praying for her to shut her trap.
"Guess whaaaaaaaaaaat!" She screeched and I winced before I responded.
"What?" I asked, rubbing my temples. She pulled something out of the little bag she had wrapped around her waist. I think it is called a franny pack.
"I've got this!" She said, a chunk of meat in her left hand and a chunk of cheese in her right hand, I turned and looked at her.
"Perfect. Rip both of the chunks in half." She did as I said and then handed me my halves. As I ate I noticed that Sakura had changed since I last saw her. She wasn't much taller but she seemed more mature...I just hoped she was stronger than the last time I saw her or the battle was already lost. She was certainly more intelligent. There was no way my new plan could fail unless Sakura took too long defeating Hinata. Hinata was the only element that could hurt my plan, unless Naruto proved to be far stronger than expected. Which I doubted if all hope was lost. For now, I needed to bathe. Which meant I needed to distract Sakura with something to do to guarantee no peeking. It was probably unlikely for someone like me to be modest, but I was indeed. I eventually convinced her to turn around and stay that way while I stripped down and stepped into the waterfall. The soap smelled like dust and tickled my nose. I heard someone giggle behind me and turned around to see Sakura shamelessly looking at me. She whipped around as I glared at her, but what had been seen could not be unseen. I blushed, which was something I hadn't done for a long time. I had been foolish to believe she would have respected me. She would be dead right now if she wasn't vital to my plan. I redressed and let her take her turn to bathe. I set the example to have respect for the other person's modesty by not turning around. As I waited new plans entered my mind for me to think over.
