(A/N) Finals. Finallly! Also I'm sorry about the lack of battle, but I cannot concentrate for the life of me cause I might have found the coolest MHA fic ever and it's over 300,000 words, so, hehe, I'm a bit distracted and it's 1 in the morning and I have to get up at 6, so I'm being stupid uploading this now. But yeah. Promise I'm sleeping right after this tho. Sorry again about the lack of actual fights. Sorry it's short too. We're like so close to the end and I'm so sorry that this isn't going well.
"Go Naruto!" Sakura shouted, waving her arm. He grinned up at her and waved back. Neji glared heavily at both of them.
Naruto being Naruto, both of them were completely knocked out by the end of their match, and Sakura sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose. "Just one time! One time I would like him to not be unconscious at the end of a spar."
"Probably won't happen," Sasuke noted, shrugging when she looked at him.
"Whatever. I have an Aburame to fight," Sakura sighed, hopping down into the arena.
"I'm impressed you managed to tie with him," Kakashi said once she woke up. "The Aburame are a major clan afterall."
Sakura hummed noncommittally, groaning right after as her ribs and spine protested. "I'm not doing missions for a month after this. And possibly not training either, if you'll give me that. Ow…"
"That throw did look pretty bad," Kakashi agreed.
"Might have even cracked a rib," Sakura muttered, groaning again.
"Don't let the boys hear," Kakashi replied, only half joking.
"They can't do anything, Shino's out of the tournament too," Sakura said, shrugging slightly, and wincing when the movement didn't agree with her injuries.
"Perhaps, but you know how they are," Kakashi said, sighing at the thought.
"I do," Sakura agreed, sighing as well. "How long have I been out?"
"Not too long, Shikamaru and Temari are currently in a battle of wits. He extends his reach, she moves away, rinse and repeat."
"Sounds interesting, although I'm sure the boys are chomping at the bit."
"Indeed," Kakashi agreed. "Well, I should probably head out to reign them in. You may follow if you wish, but I would suggest staying here."
"I'll get my ribs wrapped and my spine checked," Sakura said, looking around for a nurse. "Then I'll follow you."
Kakashi seemed fine with that, so Sakura flagged down a nurse when he left, getting her ribs checked at.
(A/N) I'm suuuper sorry, but like, I can't concentrate, and it's really late, and I have to be up really early, and this is short, and weird and has no battle cause I have no ability to write fights, and a lot of this will likely be skipped cause dangit this and HCR are supposed to be on the same page, and Akiko isn't letting me waste time with her and it's just a big mess. I'm terribly sorry, sorry you had to listen to my rant, and goodnight.
