CHAPTER 9: THE SUN SHINES, THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS BLOOM

"FIGHT" Was heard and Naruto made a straight dash towards Ten-Ten.

"Kage bunshin no jutsu." Naruto yelled as two clones appeared, one on each of his sides. They spread out trying to surround Ten-Ten, but she was unimpressed by the blond boy's move. She had seen him try this before, so she simply smirks at the blond boy's actions.

"That's not going to work on me" She said to Naruto, this didn't faze the boy, as just he kept going with his dash.

Puff Puff was heard and Naruto stopped in his tracks, both of his clones were destroyed.

What? What happened to my bunshins?. He asked himself, looking around to find something that could explain it. Suddenly he flinches, ah my shoulder hurts, as he grabs his shoulder.

What a needle? He thought.

"Yeah that's one of mine" Ten-Ten said to Naruto.

"But I didn't even see you throw it? He asked.

"Ha like I'm going to tell you how I did it" As she said this she made a chakra powered jump, getting quite a bit of distance.

The girl measured Naruto's distance, and drew 3 kunais with her right arm and multiple needles with her left. He won't be able to dodge this. Ten-Ten thought.

The girl threw the kunais slightly towards Naruto's left making him jump to the right by instinct, but a swarm of needles already were on the way. The five needles hit Naruto's right shoulder just like the last one making him fall down out of pain.

Damn it, why can't I see them. He thought.

You're focusing too much on dodging, she appears to be a weapons specialist and a medium to long range one by the looks of it. The fox said to Naruto.

Well duh, I know she's one, so what should I do. Naruto said back o it

You can do two thing fight long range with long range, or get in there even if you get hit. The fox suggested

But I still can't see the needles coming, they're too small and fast. Naruto said.

Ignore the needles as they do only slight damage to you any way. I can heal the wounds as quickly as the needles hit you, just show your strength. The fox said to him

"Got it" He said standing up, "Kage bunshin no jutsu" he said again, but this time 14 clones appeared. "Okay you know what to do" He said to the clones and tried to get close to Ten-Ten, once again.

What again? I guess I need to do more damage. She thought taking out kunais and shurikens. As she does that, Naruto is charging at her. You need a better strategy. Ten-Ten thought and started to throw the kunais and shurikens at him.

Clang Clang

"What?" She yelled as she saw her weapons hit the ground. How did he... She started to look around trying to find the reason.

"What the..." she gasped as she saw 4 Narutos on a tree behind the rest of them. Smiling at her showing her the shurikens they used to stop her attacks.

She smiles, Fighting long range with long range, and covering yourself. Smart but lets see how good your aim is. As she thought that a clone tried to get a punch in, but she evaded it by jumping back, "Close but not yet" She said to him.

She took out a scroll and jumped over all the Narutos heads. She glided in the air, almost floating, as she opened the scroll twisting it around her in an almost artistic way. She started spinning in the opposite way of the scroll touching every symbol on it, and with each symbol a weapon appeared.

"Take this" She yelled as she started to throw kunais, shurikens, scythes, small swords, needles, and an entire assortment of weapons at Naruto below her. Her hits were clean taking out five clones with her first barrage creating a huge smoke screen, she didn't care about this as she kept throwing her weapons, she knew were the rest of them were. All of her weapons were too many for the other clones to stop, as she overpowered the clones by throwing so many weapons.

At the end of her technique she simply threw a kunai at each clone in the tree, taking them out.

With that she landed in front of the smoke screen, happy with herself for beating Naruto.

"Ho Ten-Ten, you're great!!" Was heard making her sweat drop.

"Naruto! You can't let her beat you?"(You baka!!). Was heard from the pink hear girl.

"Naruto-kun" Was only whispered by the blue hair girl.

Ten-Ten, proud with the support her ex-teammate gave her, waves at him.

"You shouldn't dropped your guard" Was heard, this made Ten-Ten turn around quickly, with barely just enough time to see the blonde's fist coming straight at her, poor Ten-Ten was hit by his fist sending her backwards.

"Kage bunshin no jutsu" As he said those words, four clones appeared surrounding her.

One of the clones took a swing at the dazed girl, but she was able to stop it. Another one tried to kick her but she was able to block this one as well, even though she was out numbered she showed that she has fought against taijutsu specialists, by being able to stop all of Naruto's attacks. There she stayed only on the defensive, for Naruto knew that he couldn't let her get some distance between them.

Damn it, I can't get in a hit. He thought thinking of a way to beat the kunochi.

Damn it I have to go on the offensive, the girl thought.

There they stayed not one being able to get a hit on one another; even thou Naruto had the advantage of numbers. In a sudden rush Naruto and one of his clones tried to kick Ten-Ten one on either side, this made the girl block each hit with one of her arms, There's my chance, thought Naruto. A clone quickly got in and punched her in the face, the rest saw it and made their move kicking her upwards, lifting her and starting the Naruto combo.

"U-ZU-MA-KI NARUTO RENDAN" Was heard as a downward kick hit Ten-Ten sending her crashing to the ground.

"Yay! I won, I won" the boy celebrated as he saw Ten-Ten on the ground. As his clones disappeared, he got closer to gloat at her.

puff was heard as she turned into a log.

What the hell, Ten-Ten's actually a log? He thought looking at it. Stupid kid, that was kawarimi no jutsu. Now look around and find her before she can attack you again. The fox said to him disappointed Naruto actually thought she was a log.

Naruto's head turned left and right trying to find the girl. There she is, what is she doing with those scrolls? Ha!! She isn't going to do that dragon thing, is she? He thought while holding his head in horror.

The boy pondered seeing her in fact starting her Soushouryu technique.

Don't just stand there, stop her. I know I know. Naruto said to the fox as he ran, but it was too late.

And in a puff of smoke, two dragons shot up, circling each other. Each dragon became a scroll circling Ten-Ten, who was smirking at Naruto who fell for her basic jutsu.

Damn it!! Now what do I do? I don't know any jutsus that can reach her up there.

Really, how about the new rasengan? The fox suggested.

What I can't use that last time I almost killed Gaara, Gaara! For crying out load, what chance does she have of surviving it? Naruto yelled at the fox.

If you still can't control how much of my chakra you use then I'll cut you off from most of my chakra you'll only receive a bit and only to the Rasengan....but because I'm only lending you such a small amount, you're wounds won't heal has fast while I cut you of from it..... The fox said.

With those words Naruto started to form the rasengan in his right hand, infusing it with his chakra and a small amount of the demon's chakra that caused it to flash red for a second. This technique didn't go unnoticed by the genins.

That's the thing that hit me. Lee thought.

Awesome. Sakura thought.

What a beautiful jutsu. Hinata thought.

............Was all Shino thought, but still impressed by the power he felt coming out of Naruto.

"I don't know what that attacked is supposed to do but I won't let you use it." Ten-Ten said, a little afraid she might get hit by that attack. So she started to throw all her weapons at him, while he was still forming his rasengan.

Damn it I need a little more time. As he thought that he extended his arms using the rasengan as a shield. Swish Swish Naruto was surprised as his rasengan actually deflected the weapons around him similar to Temari's wind. Cool!! I didn't know I could do that, must be all that chakra I put in it. As he thought that, weapons hit just a few inches away from him, some even scratching him, his chakra although doing about the same thing as Temari's wind, it just didn't have the same power and effect the wind did, because that wasn't its purpose.

"Finally." The boy said as he extended his arm, throwing it like it was nothing more than a simple ball at Ten-Ten. But the boy discovered it wasn't as easy making a stable rasengan in battle and with such a small amount of demon chakra as it was practicing.

Just a few inches from his hand a kunai hit the sphere, making it lose its stability causing it to lose it's perfect spherical form and started leaking chakra.

"Damn it this isn't good" The boy said to himself seeing an unstable rasengan a few inches from where he was standing.

Ten-Ten who just threw her last weapons not at Naruto, but at his rasengan hoping that would stop it. As her last weapons hit the rasengan,

BOOM

A huge explosion occurred shocking everyone especially Naruto, who couldn't believe his ace turn into such a wild card. Ten-Ten wasn't forgiven by the explosion as she was sent flying back from it, but she was mainly hit by the shockwave, letting her recover and land on her feet.

There everyone waited for the smoke to settle, all of them were shocked and unable to say a word. How such a simple practice fight became such an intense fight nobody knew, both of them using their best attacks and strategies against each other?

The smoke cleared and in the middle of the crater, a knocked out Naruto laid.

Stupid child you don't have much endurance with out my help...The fox said mocking Naruto who wasn't able to talk back to it.

"I won." Ten-Ten yelled turning at her fellow teammates, and giving them a V for her victory.

"HOOOOOOOO, GREAT WORK TEN-TEN......!!!!! WAIT!! I'M IN NARUTO-KUN'S TEAM NOW!!!!" Lee said turning his good guy pose into tears.

"Impressive..." Shino said under his breath.

"Naruto you baka how can you beat Neji, Gaara, and Sasuke-kun but not Ten-Ten!!" Sakura yelled, disappointed of her teammate's performance, and the fact that she was much weaker then Ten-Ten, made her mad.

"Good w-work Ten-Ten s-san" Hinata said shyly, secretly sad that Naruto lost.

Ten-Ten happy because of her victory dragged Naruto's body towards the rest of them.

"Sorry I think I played to rough with Naruto-KUN." she said causing a small death glare from Sakura, and even from Hinata.

"Don't worry it's my fault he got hurt so I'll take care of him." She said sitting next to Hinata and Shino, while putting Naruto's head on her lap letting him peacefully rest. This caused a few reactions from the other genin.

That bitch, how dare she do that. Sakura thought being backed up by inner Sakura (That bitch will burn in hell. Yeah burn bitch burn).

Ten-Ten how can you do that in front of everyone... Hinata thought fearing the worse from Ten-Ten.

Hoooooooo Ten-Ten is so bold, her youthful spirit is over taking her. Gai-sensei, girls can be so bold.... This is great if Naruto-kun is out...... Lee thought of his chances of getting Sakura, increasing if Naruto was out of the picture.

Even Shino's eyebrows rose at Ten-Ten's action.

"Well...I think I'll be in the next fight..." Shino said trying to get everyone's attention away from Ten-Ten's action.

Shino walked to the still smoking battle field waiting for his opponent to get ready.

"Shino, I will not lose to you. I will show Sakura-san that I can protect her until I die." After saying those words Lee took his battle pose.

Shino only extended his arms, allowing his bugs to start coming out. There they stayed waiting for the other to make a move.

"Come on fight already." Sakura yelled. This caused Lee to charge giving a kick to Shino which his bugs blocked, but at the same time his bugs started to grab a hold of Lee's leg, covering him.

Damn it, it's like Gaara's sand. He thought as he forced himself loose from the bugs and putting some distance between them.

Lee once again got close to Shino, starting with a leg sweep, which Shino dodged by doing a back flip.

He again tried to hit his opponent releasing a barrage of punches, not allowing him to perform any jutsus. Shino wasn't able to block all of Lee's high speed punches, but lucky for him his bugs blocked the ones he didn't.

I can't hold him off forever. Shino thought, looking a little worried under his coat.

I will defeat him. I will prove I'm as strong as my rivals. Lee thought motivating himself.

Lee connected a straight punch to Shino's chin, sending him to the ground, giving Lee a bit of confidence concerning his abilities, and almost tasting his victory.

"Way to go Lee-san!! Show him who's boss" Sakura screamed.

"You got lucky Lee." Ten-Ten yelled.

Hinata stayed silent simply watching the fight.

Ha Sakura-san is cheering me on, this is great. Lee thought while looking at Shino who was starting to stand up.

"Taijutsu doesn't need chakra.....but Taijutsu requires free movement...." Shino said to himself as he stood up. He made a hand seal and whispered "Kekkai konchuu bunshin no jutsu" with those word a swarm of bugs flew out of his body and formed a clone next to him. The clone and Shino gathered bugs at his hand and started assaults on Lee trying to get a hit to leave the bugs on Lee.

"Too slow." Lee said as he jumped screaming "Konoha gouriki senpuu" Kicking Shino right on the chest sending him flying into a tree. While Lee was occupied with Shino his clone gave a kick to Lee, but he quickly recovered from it and quickly taking his fighting stance again.

Shino's clone made a straight charge at Lee, "Konoha reppuu" Lee yelled has he took the clone down. PUFF Shino's clone exploded releasing all of the bugs that formed it onto Lee. "Aaahhhh" Lee screamed as he was being covered by all the bugs, that had once formed the clone.

Lee was frantically trying to get the bugs off him, giving punches, rolling on the ground. The boy tried all he could until he dropped on the ground all worn out.

There on the ground laid Lee, covered with Shino's bugs.

Shino who had recovered walked up to Lee, with his arrival all the insects left Lee and crawled back onto Shino. This creped out all the girls except for Hinata who was used to it. "Why can't I move?" Lee asked Shino. "My insects injected you with a paralyzing poison...... Taijutsu requires free movement....which you no longer can..." Shino said to him calmly. "You can no longer fight, I win." He said to Lee as he walked away.

"NO!! I can still fight." Lee said as he stood up, just to fall again.

"Man that was such an unromantic fight." Ten-Ten said sighing at her teammate.

"Great j-job Shino-kun" Hinata said.

Shino simply nodded at his team mates.

"Lee-san, are you ok?" Sakura asked as she helped Lee stand up.

"I'm sorry Sakura-san, I wasn't strong enough." Lee said looking at the ground.

"Ha it's okay Lee-san at lest you didn't lose to a girl like that baka Naruto." She said trying to cheer him up.

"Thanks Sakura-san" He said as he sat down near the others.

"Well it looks like it's my turn." Sakura said looking at Hinata.

"S-sakura w-we don't n-need to, w-we won 2 already". She said trying to avoid a fight with her, but this made Sakura mad.

"That's the reason we have to have a match, I have to get my teams dignity back, we can't let you guys win all three" She said pointing at her.

With those words she made her way to the battlefield waiting for Hinata to stand up. There sitting next to her team, Hinata looked at her teammates.

"Go Hinata, lets go three for three." Ten-Ten said motivating her, but the sight of Naruto still on her lap, made her mad, but she quickly banished that feeling and thought to wherever she banishes them.

"You can win Hinata..." Shino said also motivating the shy girl to go and try her best.

But Hinata ignored those last words and said a few of her own.

"Ten-Ten-san a-aren't y-you uncomfortable sitting with Naruto-kun o-on y-your l-lap?" She said trying to sound concerned for Ten-Ten.

"Not at all Hinata, I feel very comfy." She said smiling at her and stroking Naruto's forehead. This made Hinata blush, making her wish it was her in Ten-Ten's position.

"Did I win...?" Was heard from the blond boy.

Finally awake?....took you long enough...The fox said to Naruto's.

Shout up and pay you're rent. Narutosaid angry to the fox. Kyahaha, very well.....The fox said allowing Naruto to access his chakra again.

"Naruto-kun it's about time you woke up" Ten-Ten, said smiling down at the blond boy getting his attention.

This made Naruto blush slightly, then he noticed where he was resting, making him suddenly sit up from his comfy pillow.

"Ha yeah, I'm fine Ten-Ten" He said scratching the back of his head while still blushing.

"CHAN!" She said back

"Huh?" He answered back.

"Yeah! Call me Ten-Ten-chan!, its not fair you only call Sakura that." She said giving him an innocent smile.

"Yeah it's not fair" Hinata said out loud.

This surprised Naruto and Ten-Ten, but the girl immediately realized what she had done, making her blush crimson red. She let the moment get to her. She always wanted him to call her that and after waiting for so long for him to call her that she took the chance unconsciously.

"I'm s-sorry Naruto-kun, y-you don't have to i-if you don't w-want to." She said in a very low voice almost hoping Naruto wouldn't hear it.

"Ha don't worry Hinata...I mean Hinata-chan, Ten-Ten-chan." he said smiling at the two girls.

Man what the hell are they talking about? Man they didn't forget about me being here, did they?. Sakura thought annoyed about being left standing in the field.

"HEY HINATA COME ON." She yelled.

This caught all of their attention, especially Naruto's. "All right, I woke up just in time." He said in an excited tone, just before he turns around and looks at Hinata.

"Hinata-chan, go and show us how strong you've gotten since the chuunin exam." as he said those words he pushed Hinata towards the battle field. Even though she was being pushed, she didn't care, she actually felt excited about the support that Naruto gave her.

After giving Hinata some support he was pulled down, being forced to take a seat next to Ten-Ten.

Finally the girls stood face to face, each one looking at her opponent very carefully.

Sakura took a simple battle stance while Hinata took her family stance and prepared her gentle fist and Byakugan.

"It looks like Hinata has the advantage." Ten-Ten said remembering her fight's with Neji.

"Don't say that Ten-Ten, don't forget Sakura-san's fight with Ino." Lee said supporting his love.

"What do you think Naruto.......?" Shino asked.

"I don't know, Hinata-chan has the blood limit, but Sakura-chan has her brain.....so the one that knows how to use their talents will win..." Naruto said in a cold, calculating voice, as he had thought about it very carefully everyone was impressed with his words.

Man everyone is impressed with my words....Naruto thought fighting back a huge grin.

Stupid kid, taking credit for something I just said to you. The fox tried to scold Naruto but was ignored as the boy was more interested in the fight that had just started.

"Sorry Hinata, but you have to lose..." Sakura said as she threw several shurikens at her opponent.

Hinata simply saw the five shurikens coming towards her. She dodged three and caught two, which she simply threw back at Sakura which she also dodged. There the girls stayed, everyone knew that Sakura was simply testing Hinata. She knew Hinata rarely starts the attack, she mostly defends and counters.

Sakura once again threw shurikens at Hinata but this time only two, Hinata thought it suspicious that she only threw two but ignored her feeling and intended to catch them. "Kawarimi no jutsu." was heard as one of the shurikens turned into Sakura delivering a heel kick to Hinata's chin, sending her to the ground.

"Ho great job Sakura-san" Lee yelled.

"Awesome! Sakura-chan can be really strong." Naruto said to himself.

"Come on Hinata..." Shino said under his breath.

"HA man its over?" Ten-Ten complained.

Even though a couple thought Hinata lost Sakura knew better. If she could withstand such an intense fight with Neji a simple kick from her would be nothing, and she was right Hinata was standing up. Sakura didn't care if she was just standing up, she got close to her and drew a kunai. "I'm going to make you submit" She said

"You're within range of my divination" Was Hinata's response to Sakura's threat.

Sakura was shocked after hearing those words from her, she had seen Neji do it to Naruto but she never expected Hinata to be able to do such technique, she stopped her advance and started to walk backwards but.

JYUUKEN MOVE: "HAKKE ROKUJUU YONSHOU"

And she got within striking distance starting the attack.

2 Hakkes

4 Hakkes

8 Hakkes

16 Hakkes

32 Hakkes

64 Hakkes

Sending Sakura flying to the ground, Hinata simply took a finishing pose. Her byakugan eyes coldly staring at the cloud of smoke Sakura's fall created.

"Wow......" Was all Ten-Ten could say

When did she learn that technique...? Shino thought shocked at what his team mate had done.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Sakura-san can't lose stand up Sakura-san!!!" Lee yelled with all his heart, fighting back tears that formed after seeing his love suffer a technique he knew to well.

"Hinata-chan?.....She's gotten stronger too..." Naruto said to himself seeing Hinata standing there in the field.

Hinata made a dash to the smoke leaving everyone wondering why if her opponent was defeated. I can win, Hinata thought using her eyes to see Sakura past the smoke, and starting the attack.

Hinata released strike after strike trying to get a clear hit on Sakura's legs and shoulders, only trying to disable her opponent. Sakura only could dodge Hinata's attacks, her gentle fist could hurt her even if she only blocked them with her bare hands, so she concentrated her chakra to her legs to dodge the strikes. The strange part for Hinata was that Sakura still could easily move and use chakra after receiving her Divination. She jumped back and used her newly improved byakugan to see her tenketsus.

Damn it I didn't hit all of them......I only got about 20 of all the opening points...and the ones I closed aren't very important...Hinata thought looking at Sakura.

"Even if you can do that attack, you still haven't mastered it..." Sakura said to the girl.

I did it perfectly last time......even if it was just a dummy...Hinata thought.

"Even if I can't use genjutsu, I can still win!" Sakura said as she started an attack on Hinata. She started by throwing a barrage of punches taking advantage of her longer arms, so she wouldn't get to close to Hinata. Hinata blocked some of the punches, putting some charka into her blocks so she was counterattacking at the same time, the rest of the punches she simply dodged. Sakura started to lose her strength in her arms but didn't care and pressed on with her attack, this time with kicks.

Hinata wasn't surprised by Sakura's new attack and prepared a counter for it on a spinning heel kick Sakura tried to give her. Hinata blocked it with her forearm leaving Sakura open for an attack. Hinata gave her a hit on the leg she blocked, pumping it with charka and disabling it.

Sakura hit the ground hard after that counter, but only to have her vanish in a puff of smoke.

"Baka, I left you that opening." was heard as two shurikens hit Hinata's shoulder.

"Even if you have those eyes, you can't leave your guard down." She said as she appeared out of nowhere, giving Hinata a hit to the stomach making her bend forward. Sakura connected a knee to her chin now sending her head backwards, but she didn't stop there as she gave Hinata a spinning elbow to the side of the head, sending her to the ground knocked out.

Sakura turned waiting for praises from her teammates for her victory over the Hyuuga.

But she only got stares from them.

"You were to rough on poor Hinata." Ten-Ten said.

"........" Shino simply looked at Sakura.

"Sakura-san, you let your youthful spirit overwhelm you." Lee said trying to praise her, but still surprised with the way she finished Hinata.

Sakura didn't know why they were acting that way, it was a fight and they had to give it their all, she didn't know why they were acting this way. She saw Naruto walking her way stopping right in front of her, he of all people should praise her, after all no one else goes all out on a fight like him.

"Sakura-chan, you didn't have to get serious on Hinata-chan, you could have really hurt her you know? she never fights with her all against a friend." He said disappointed in her actions, and walked towards Hinata.

What the hell, why is every one so worried they didn't care she tried using that technique on me!!......Wait chan? Since when does he call her that.... Sakura turns to him and says.

"Wait! She's the one that started to get serious. She used that technique Neji used on you in the exam." Sakura said to Naruto.

Naruto looked at her, her words were true. Hinata had hit her with a high power move, but still it was hard to believe that the shy girl started the serious fight.

"Sakura I-is right I went a little o-overboard, I w-wanted to s-show you that I g-got stronger..." Hinata said as she was being helped to her feet.

"You didn't have to do that Hinata-chan, I already knew you were stronger since I saw you" He said to Hinata but quickly turned to his teammate.

"You too Sakura, you've gotten a lot stronger too, especially in your strategies and in using you're jutsus." He said giving her a foxy grin.

"Injury check!!" Yelled Ten-Ten who appeared out of nowhere.

"Thanks but most of them are minor. We appreciate it but it's not necessary we can do it ourselves." Lee said to Ten-Ten, but got a glare instead. I guess she really wants to be like Tsunade-Obaachan. Naruto thought after he saw the glare she gave Lee.

After that all the genins gathered to get checked by Ten-Ten, the self proclaimed medical specialist of the group.

"Okay Lee you're A O.K., you should be able to move freely again in a while." She said to Lee.

"Shino you're fine" She said, he simply nodded at her words.

"Sakura, your tenketsus should work normally in a while" She said to the pink hair girl.

"Naruto let me see your wounds." She said grabbing the reluctant blond boy.

"Hey no, I'm ok, really." He said while trying to fight off the kunoichi.

Somehow the girl was able to wrestle Naruto's jacket off him, just to gasp at what she saw.

"Naruto-kun? The wounds I gave you in our fight...they're gone!" As she said those words, everyone was curious and gathered to see it.

Man what do I do now? How can I explain I healed needle and shuriken wounds in such a short while...? Naruto thought trying to find a way to save his secret.

I can do something about it, but it will hurt... The words echoed in his mind.

So do it already. He said back.

Ten-Ten put her hand close just over where the wounds appeared to be closed, but as soon as she touched them, blood started to come out of them.

"Ha sorry Naruto-kun I didn't mean to open them again. I was sure they were already healed." She said embarrassed for the wrong diagnosis on her part.

"It's okay Ten-Ten-chan." Man this really stings what did you do, you stupid fox. He thought trying not to show the pain he was in.

I simply cut you off from all my chakra again. The fox coldly said.

Do I really depend that much on you're chakra to heal me?. Naruto ask but the fox stayed silent.

Ten-Ten started to bandage Naruto's shoulder leaving everyone a few minutes to relax and recover from their fights.

Great finally training is over, what can I do now...? Yeah I know I'll hint him so he'll ask me to go get something to eat...nobody will interrupt me there.... Yeah I'm so smart (Victory) Sakura thought smiling at her plans.

After Ten-Ten finished patching up Naruto, she started to treat Hinata's shuriken wounds she was given by Sakura. Meanwhile Sakura managed to steal a moment from Naruto and she started her plan.

"Hey Naruto, training is over...." She said giving the boy a hint so he'll make his move.

"Yeah maybe now I can go see Iruka-sensei." He said back to her.

Baka "Are you sure? We haven't seen each other since you came back from the mission...." Baka She said almost giving him a punch.

"Ha that's right.... I know!! How about we go get some ramen Sakura-chan, you can tell me what you've done since I left after Tsunade-obaachan" He said giving her his best foxy grin.

Ramen... that's so Naruto...but it will do....She thought smiling back at the boy.

"Let's go get some ramen then!!" She said very happy that her plan worked.

"HOOOO!!! Sakura-san you're so generous inviting us to get some Ramen." Lee who was able to hear Sakura's words, thought it was an invitation to everyone.

Sakura's sweat dropped. Damn it Lee.... Man I shouldn't have said it so loud. She cursed herself for her cheery nature. (Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!).

"That's a great idea Sakura, lets go Naruto-kun." Ten-Ten said with Hinata just behind her.

"Sakura-san lets go." Lee said grabbing Sakura's arm and leading her to the ramen stand.

"Wait Lee, we have to wait for Naruto." Sakura said.

"Ha don't worry Sakura-san." Naruto-kun has left with Ten-Ten, Hinata and even Shino." Lee said pointing at the four genins walking away.

"Is that so Lee-san." She said giving him a fake smile.

Man why does something like this always happen to me............?....And to make things worse, why is Ten-Ten, so friendly with Naruto...and why did he called Hinata-CHAN! ......I'll just have to find out....(Hell yeah I'll get to the bottom of this.)

"Let's go Lee-san." She said as she was now the one grabbing his arm and leading him to the others.

"HURRY UP LEE-SAN!!"
