The girl was fighting, moving around her opponent with a devilish grin on her face. She held a kunai in each hand, and seemed to be using those as her only weapons. Her opponent was using ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu, a scowl on his face as he tried to get past her guard, to land a kick, a punch, graze her cheek, anything.

But no matter how fast or fluidly he moved the girl was always one step ahead, twisting and dodging in a graceful blur. The smile never completely left her face, only growing when she had to execute a particularly tricky manoeuvre.

The boy suddenly snapped when the girl neglected to take advantage of an opening in his defence for the fifth time. Previously, it had been an amicable, if intense, spar, but now the boy was going all out, trying his best to completely annihilate his opponent.

Sarutobi saw the change in the boy's attack pattern almost immediately and made to step in, but a hand on his arm stopped him. Looking down, he saw the young Byankugan user shake his head imperceptibly.

"Just watch."

Sarutobi turned his attention back to the fight to see the two opponents standing some distance away from each other. The girl performed a simple tiger seal, and Sarutobi felt a flare of chakra settle over the arena. A genjutsu. What is she planning?

Looking back at Amanshi, he noticed he was just standing there with a puzzled expression on his face, staring at the spot that Sakura had recently vacated. She was walking towards him slowly, playing idly with one of her kunai.

Suddenly, Amanshi yelled out "What kind of freaky jutsu needs that many fucking hand seals!! Quit it!"

He made as if to run forwards, but stopped suddenly with one arm upraised. He looked at the ground, then back at where he perceived Sakura to be.

"H-how did you do that?! That's a Nara clan jutsu!"

By this point, Sakura was behind the boy. With one fluid movement, she cancelled her genjutsu and grabbed the boy's hair, forcing him to his knees.

"That, boy, was a genjutsu. Now guess what I'm going to do." She leant down close to his ear, and whispered something, a creepy smile flickering over her face. Amanshi was as white as a sheet, and shaking visibly when she brought her free hand up and down, slamming the butt end of her kunai into his skull. He slumped to the ground, unconscious.

Sakura stood, brushing off her hands and returning the kunai to their holsters.

Sakura uses a genjutsu to great effect. In case you didn;t get it, what her opponent was seeing was Sakura going through a set of impossibly long handseals, until he tried to move, whereupon he was tricked into thinking he had been caught in the Nara clan's shadow imitation jutsu. While this was happening, the genjutsu was disguising the fact that she had moved aorund behind him, leaving him open for a killing strike.

Of course, Sakura chose to gloat. Because, who wouldn't:D

Ja ne.
