About half an hour's wait, Kakashi Sensei appeared in his happy-go-lucky attitude. Sakura was really angry at him, but for some reason she felt that she should keep quiet today. Was she getting sick or something?
Naruto, as usual, wanted to bite Sensei's head off. Sakura stopped him just in time. She was still holding onto his jacket's collar when Sensei was introducing today's training lesson.
"Alright," he said. "Today, as you can see, it's snowing. No surprise there, its winter."
He stopped for a second before proceeding.
"I want you to go and find something in the forest."
They all looked at him determined.
"White mushrooms." He said with a wink in his eye.
Nobody spoke. It seemed too quiet.
"What's the point of THAT?" exclaimed Naruto.
"White mushrooms are white," answered Kakashi Sensei. "Snow is white. Try and find them in this snowfall. They're camouflaged from lookers. Does that make sense?"
Everyone nodded.
"This exercise is to train your eye to spot things that aren't what they seem to be." Said Sensei. "I want you to divide in two groups. One of you will have to go with me. I think by splitting we can get the work done faster, and as not to get lost, your partner can help you."
Naruto quickly jumped up. "I want to team up with Sakura! Sasuke can go with you, Kakashi Sensei."
Sakura REALLY wanted to protest, but for one thing, she didn't want to go with either Sasuke or Sensei. She had no choice but to agree.
"Alright then," said Kakashi. "Sakura, Naruto, be careful. I don't want you guys to be eaten by a wolf or something. Off you go!"
Sakura really wanted to believe that Sensei had joked about that part about the wolves but she had a feeling that he wasn't.
Naruto was head over heels. Sakura was kind of pleased to have someone that was full of happiness for a partner to go into the dark and murky forest.
Maybe if I can get to know Naruto a little bit more, I can see that he isn't the person I always learned to hate. Why should I hate him anyway? He is so nice to me all the time.
"Where shall we look first?" asked Sakura.
It seemed that anywhere Sakura wanted.
Poor Naruto is trying his best to please me. Why am I such an evil person?
They spent about twenty minutes searching in the snow, under trees and behind bushes but to no success. They decided to rest for a while.
Sakura slumped down under a tree, while Naruto climbed it. His normal behavior.
"We're almost in the middle of the whole forest!" he called down to her. "We made a big progress in the last half hour!"
It seemed they did. Sakura was kind of chilly. She didn't bring a sweater with her. Kind of a stupid thing to do in winter but she hated to have too many clothes on her. It made her feel very uncomfortable.
Naruto was sitting on a branch, swinging his legs back and forth. Sakura opened her bag to see if she brought any food. Just two rice balls.
She ate the first one and thought of giving the second one to Naruto but before she could say anything, she heard a loud crack.
The next thing she saw was Naruto falling down on her. It didn't hurt her much but she saw stars before her eyes for a few moments.
