Observational Skills

by Stonecreek

Sakura is the best at chakra control in Team 7. What she does with it is decidedly…unconventional. Naruto is dumbfounded. Sasuke is quietly scared senseless. And her sensei? Kakashi couldn't be prouder of his little voyeur in the making. An ongoing, connected series of 100 word drabbles where Sakura & her team learn some much-needed lessons. Mostly slice-of-life, high T rating.

36. Lesson 36

A.N. – Time for Sakura's luck to turn. As it happens, there are repercussions for suddenly acquiring knowledge and displaying skills heretofore unbeknownst to the village higher-ups. Punishment No. 1 is forthcoming this chapter, with further fallout taking up the next few.

Lesson No. 36

Since Sakura's "personal" training time with Kakashi was kaput, he again gave her solo D-ranks that afternoon. After she caught Tora (That fucking feline, by myself?!, Inner seethed), she was to report to the mission assignment office herself for further tasks.

Two hours later, and missing her right-side bangs due to swiping cat claws, Sakura knocked on the dark wood door the mission scroll had indicated. It was opened by a Yamanaka, and not one she knew.

He smiled, placidly stating how pleased he was she didn't shirk her upcoming psych evaluation. Sakura cursed Kakashi, knowing she'd been set up.
