I need to say that Sakura has little to no confidence in the series, this is why she has problems. So she anchored to Ino, then Sasuke. All to make her able to function. If she were to believe in herself then look out a badass arrives. Also everyone allows it to occur so if someone makes her really look at herself I think she could change.

Oh and naruto will seem soft in this but sometimes reassurance can get you a lot and he knows that.

In Naruto's Training field

Appearing in his training field in a small blaze of fire Naruto let go of Sakura walked a bit away, turned and looked at her slightly irritated yet surprised face. This made him smirk before saying " Sakura why did you become a Kunoichi?" this left Sakura spluttering " to, to, to…." She had to stop and think, why did she become a Ninja, well originally it was to make her father proud, who happened to have been a powerful jonin level civilian born ninja, before he was injured in the Kyuubi attack. He had suffered a rare massive damage to the spine that left him unable to fight like a shinobi. She had wanted to prove a civilian- born was powerful enough to be a ninja as well as a Female. She started to cry as she realized she had lost her purpose. Actually she also wondered when it was lost.

She was then startled by Naruto's warm arms around her, cradling her to his chest as began to sob at her failure. " You have so much potential Sakura, that's why I used to pretend to crush on you to boost your confidence. I remember what you had said to the class. You wanted to make your father proud, to prove that females and civilians could become powerful ninjas. If you are willing to work for it I can help get there Sakura, I mean look at me I am about low jonin after two weeks, think of what you could do." Naruto had done in one moment , something no one had ever done, he had faith in her. Aside from her father the rest of her clan always said she was not capable and had to marry Sasuke, that is why she was such a fan girl. He was supposed to be the reason she existed or at least that is what she was taught.

And with that Sakura the Fangirl died and Sakura the True Kunoichi was born. Looking at Naruto with a fire in her eyes he had never seen before she said "I will work at it, but I need help. Help me."

` Chuckling at her resolve he simply said " Turn and let me see your back. I need to apply some training seals." As he began to place the seals on her body he told her about the function of each. " the first is a seal to place resistance on your body so you won't become bulky , while gain a lot of strength and stamina. And a lot of speed. The other is of my own creation that has multiple purposes and equal benefits. While you sleep it pulls your passive chakra from your body and places it in a reserve so that you can use it for later. This makes your reserves get a lot bigger over time. This is great for you as you as a female and civilian-born ,have little chakra. Better yet you should have enough to make shadow clones which transfer anything they learn and experience to you. While you won't be able to make a lot it should still massively boost your results while we train your body." As he finished he took in Sakura's awed face as she realized how strong she could get over a short period of time. Smirk at how well his plan was working he activated the seals and watched her struggle under the feeling for a minute.

"Okay since Kakashi is always late I want you here at 6:00, we will train till 11:30, rest and eat then go to kakashi. He will only keep us for a few hours as he is a lazy bastard. Then on Tuesdays, Thursdays and saturdays we will both work at the hospital to gain medical experience as I feel you would be a great medic. This will happen from 4:00 to 9:00. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we will work on your skills with our basic ninja weapons and substitution. You should have about enough to make three clones tomorrow so they will learn the dancing snake, a mixture between medic and serpent style I made. " Paling a bit at what Naruto just said Sakura then stopped and gave what had to be one of the scariest grins he had ever seen, on Kurama's level. It was a mixture of 'bring it' and what looked to be a bit of pleasure at the idea of how powerful she will be.

With that they began.

With the Jonin in the Hokage's office

Kakashi appeared in the office covered in shallow cuts and an angry tear streaked face. Every one paled at the raw killing intent he was just oozing. With a fire in his eyes not unlike Sakura's he said while seething " Team Seven passed, now let me kill Naruto"

"And why should I let you do that?" the aged Hokage said with a twinkle of amusement in his eyes, realizing that despite his changes the blonde haired enigma still enjoyed pranking.

"The blonde bastard used my book to win. He fooled me in to thinking he had cut in half so when I grabbed it I was sealed down and Then he proceeded to capture the real book and force me to pass him then burned it. " he finished with a mixture between a growl and a whimper of sadness.

This lead to Anko rolling the floor absolutely an d madly cackling with laughter " I … love that Gaki." She managed to get out between insane chuckles. That was kind of the consensus of everyone's thoughts.

It seemed the old Hokage was right Naruto still enjoyed a good prank. This thought made him shiver at the thought of a viscous Naruto and pranks, ugh scary. Maybe he ought to make sure the village and himself gets back on Narutos good side again. If not there may not be a village.
