(A/N) And here's what the other three were doing while Sasuke was breaking his arm. As for this, it is admitted that Sakura is significantly weaker and has less stamina then Naruto. She's physically weak and doesn't have the practice with dodging and such that Naruto does. In my opinion, Naruto would win a straight taijutsu match, even with his… less dignified fighting style. She's too slow to hit him, and he's too strong for her to do anything but redirect his strikes. A note, Naruto's past affects him a bit more, and he is prone to being more hesitant when dealing with the civilian council. He was also attacked more as a kid, and not just by civilians. Hence, his ability to dodge. He also has less of a crush.
Kakashi led them to a clearing a little way away. "Alright, Naruto, you're going to spar with Sakura for a bit, and I'll tell you what's wrong. We'll work out individual taijutsu styles later."
Naruto assumed the stance he always used, and Kakashi pulled out a notebook and started writing immediately. Across from him, Sakura assumed the standard academy taijutsu stance.
Naruto was the first to rush forwards, throwing a punch at Sakura. She blocked, but the force he'd put behind it sent her skidding backward. He rushed forwards again, a kick aimed at her midsection. She caught his leg, but couldn't stop it from slamming into her side, knocking her away. She launched onto the attack, and Naruto used his well-used dodging skills to dodge all of her attempted strikes. She was slower than some of the civilians he'd been attacked by as a kid. And that was saying something, they were pretty slow, at least compared to the genin and chuunin that had occasionally attacked him in shadowy corners.
He swung two of his tails at her, throwing a punch at the same time. One tail swiped her legs out from under her, the other hit her in the side and threw her to the ground even harder, and his punch literally went over her head as she went down, her attempted block for the punch completely ineffective.
She popped back up again, tail smarting. "That hurt, you Baka!"
"That is what happens in sparring," Naruto agreed He dodged a sloppily thrown punch, and retaliated, swiping her legs out from under her again. He dodged a punch, and she went past him, her pink tail coming free of her belt to attempt to stabilize her. He grabbed it, and pulled, effectively stopping her forward motion, and putting her in a lot of pain.
After a couple more sloppy punches to which he dodged and retaliated, he stopped retaliating, and caught her fists. She tried kicking off him, but he held tightly to her wrists. She wasn't going anywhere.
After a while of struggling, she gave up. "Fine, I yield."
Kakashi was impressed. He'd never put Sakura against Naruto, figuring that the much hardier boy was a better match for sparring with Sasuke. Usually, he sparred with Sakura himself, half heartedly attempting to get her stamina and strength up. He really had to actually try with that. At some point. As for Naruto, his speed seemed to be high genin, if not low chuunin. Sakura's speed was low civilian.
"Alright, Naruto, do you even have a taijutsu style? Didn't you learn the standard Academy one?" Kakashi asked, glancing at his notebook, which had notes scribbled in his barely legible handwriting.
Naruto shrugged. "I think I learned it. No one ever corrected me, so I kept doing it."
Kakashi sighed. "Alright, we'll have to work on that. Sakura," he sighed. "You have no strength. You couldn't even break Naruto's grip. You didn't even land a hit on him. We'll see about getting you some training with Maito Gai, he'll get you up quickly. Until then, start running laps, would you? Sharingan open as well. I am mildly disappointed you did not seem to use the Sharingan with Naruto."
"I don't know how to use it," Sakura argued. "And he's too unpredictable!"
"Not for my Sharingan," Kakashi replied. "Laps. Around this clearing. Now."
Sakura sent a glare at him, but began running.
"Alright, Naruto, very good dodging, and good use of your tails. You even managed to keep Sakura from pulling any of them. Not that she tried it. "
"I didn't even think of it!" Sakura screeched, panting. Naruto and Kakashi's ears flattened against their heads, disappearing into their hair.
One of Naruto's ears reappeared, and he batted at it. "Ow, Sakura-chan, that was loud!"
Kakashi agreed with him. It was very loud. Perhaps he should find some way to dampen noise so it doesn't end up being overwhelming. Other then flattening his ears against his head, which didn't work very well anyway, he didn't know any sound dampening seals. Which was unfortunate.
"Alright, Naruto, I have a couple taijutsu styles I think would fit you, but first, you have to decide. Speed, or strength."
Naruto cocked his head. "What do you mean by that?"
"I know two taijutsu styles that would fit you, but they're based around two very different things. One is based around speed, and is very similar to the style used by the Fourth Hokage, better known as the Yellow Flash, and Shisui Uchiha, better known as Shunshin no Shisui. The other is the Uzumaki style, which I have a few scrolls for. It is based more around strength."
"Uzumaki! Like my last name!" Naruto decided with a shout.
Kakashi nodded, then noted Sakura's very flushed face. "Perhaps we should go get water before Sakura passes out. We can check on Sasuke on the way." Perhaps he shouldn't have said that, as Sakura sprinted off with renewed vigor.
Kakashi and Naruto followed at a slightly more sedate pace. Then Sakura screamed, and they hurried it up a little, to come into the clearing they'd left their stuff in, and finding Sasuke, whose arm was clearly severely broken.
"How'd you manage that one?" Kakashi asked, seeming rather unimpressed.
"I landed on it," Sasuke growled, continuing to search his backpack.
Sakura, of course, started screeching again. Sasuke was hurt! And it looked really bad! WHY WAS KAKASHI-SENSEI BEING SO CALM! He wasn't even helping! Naruto-baka was helping more than Kakashi-sensei! Kakashi-sensei was supposed to be their sensei!
Kakashi clamped a hand over her mouth. "No screaming," he growled, narrowing his eye at her. She nodded frantically, and he removed his hand. She continued freaking out in her head.
"Oww Sakura-chan," Naruto whined, batting at his ear again. "That hurt!"
Sakura pointedly ignored the rest of them, pulling out her water bottle and taking a drink. She noticed something writing itself on ground, and knelt down to inspect it. It was weird, all sorts of black marks, some of which looked like Kanji. None of it she recognized.
All of a sudden, the entire thing lit up, blue chakra darting down the written lines like a lit fuse.
"Kakashi-sensei," Sakura began. The ground dropped from under them, and they disappeared in a flash of light.
