Naruto World Chapter 5: A Couple Days of Training

"Who are you? You look familiar?"
"My name is Haruno Sakure. I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your training spot."
"Don't worry I'm not mad at you. I'm Tenten, Lee's teammate. He has mentioned you before and I saw you briefly during the chuunin exam. Hats a pretty good shoot there. I know some boys that can't even throw that good." Said Tenten with a smile.
"Yeah but yours was better." Said Sakure disappoint.
Tenten then throw anther shrunken straight into the bulls-eye. "With some practice you will get there," said Tenten encouragingly. "What were you doing just wondering around anyways?"
"I usually train with Lee in the morning but he couldn't train today." explained Sakure.
"Then train with me. I can teach you some things Lee doesn't know. It will be fun." Said Tenten with a smile

----------------------------------------

"I'm sorry I yelled at you yesterday Hinata-chan." Apologized Kiba sincerely.
Hinata was shocked! Nobody had ever called her Hinata-chan. Kiba was a lot nicer than before. His long conversation with Kurenai last night changed him slightly. Before he converted his concern for Akamaru into rage that he shoot out at any one who came near him. She thought him to slowly start converting his concern into kindness for all. But change is not an easy thing and some of his not-so good traits remained, like his need to be the boss and his arrogant. Naruto may not be his main problem but he still dislikes him.

----------------------------------------

"So what happened last night?" Asked Shikamaru.
"What do you mean?" Replied Chouji
"When I said I was leaving Ino's house, you said you were leaving in a little bit but I never saw you later that night." Explained Shikamaru.
"Oh that's what you meant. The time flew by before I knew it." Answered Chouji.

---------------------------------------------

Over the next few days Hinata continued to watch. One day Naruto said, "Hey Hinata I was wondering if you could do me a favor?"
"Yes Naruto-kun" Shyly replied Hinata.
"I wanted to do this new training exercise but I need your help." Explained Naruto.
"My help?" Hinata repeated.
"Yeah I have this bucket of these thin logs. All I need you to do is throw them up in the air and I will try to hit them with shrunken. Okay?" explained Naruto.
"Yeah I will help you do it." Happily Hinata.
The repeated the exercise many times. Naruto kept getting better and better and it. When he was done training for the day he told Hinata, "Thank you Hinata-chan!"
Hinata thought her heart skipped a few beats. Was she really hearing this from Naruto, the boy she deeply cares about? Hinata could barely hold in her joy. Naruto said dumbfounded, "Hey Hinata-chan, you know you have a huge grin on your face?"
Hinata thought her heart skipped a few beats again but this time in embarrassment instead of joy. Hinata quickly with out a thought turned her head away to cancel her smile. Naruto quickly exclaimed, "Hey you look good with a smile! You should smile more often!"
Hinata couldn't believe any of this. She felt like she was dreaming but no this felt better than anything she had ever fantasized about.

------------------------------------------

"Ok Sakure I have been training you for several days now. Its time to put your skills to the test. There is a bulls-eye painted on this row of ten trees. You will get a hundred Shrunken. That's ten shrunken per tree. Your goal is too to get as many bulls eyes as possible. Go!"
Sakure did Tenten's test. Tenten did the honor of counting how many hit. Sakure was really nervous. Then Tenten approached her. "Well your bulls-eye percentage is 48 percent."
"That seems low." Sakure said disappointed.
"No that's good. Don't forgot this is your percentage of how many times you hit a bulls-eye, which is a very small target. Even if you missed the other 52 times, they still would have come close enough to do damage in real combat." Explained Tenten reinsureinly.
"Tenten can I ask you bulls-eye percentage?" asked Sakure curiosity.
"My bulls-eye percentage is 100 percent."

----------------------------------------

"Ummmmm!!!! That taste so good!!" exclaimed Ino loudly
Ino was recovering well so Chouji took Ino out to a restaurant for dinner. They ate about the same amount, which is legendary to eat as much as an Akimichi. The restaurant owner thought he might need to close down for a few days just to replenish his stock. Over the next couple of days, Shikamaru teased Chouji about his date with Ino.

------------------------------------------

"Hey Sakure-chan I have not seen you for a few days. Where have you been?" asked Rock Lee.
"Oh sorry Lee-san I have been training with your teammate." Answered Sakure.
"What!!! You have been training with Neji!!! How dare he!!! How come he is always better than me?" Screamed an over energetic Lee.
Sakure could not stop laughing at the way Lee was acting. "Lee! I have been training with Tenten not Neji."
Lee froze in place and tried to think up an excise for his over reaction but his mouth was just too dumbfounded to reply. "Hey Lee wait here I have to business to attend to," said Sakure as she ran off.
"Hey Lee haven't seen you since the chuunin exam!" yelled Naruto.
Lee stuck an outstretched palm his way so he would be quiet and pointed to where Sakure had ran off too.
"Hey Sasuke-kun?" Said Sakure in a innocent questioning voice."
"What now" Replied Sasuke very bored.
"Fight me here and now!" Demanded Sakure.
