#74: Smell
When Sakura treats Neji in the hospital for a dislocated shoulder he smells like the forest and sweat; the smells she associates with all the shinobi she knows.
He also smells of an herbal liniment he's been using on his knees for the last few years. Hinata told her one time that all of the Hyuuga who manage to learn kaiten endure some amount of joint pain.
Though he always seems clean when she sees him, he doesn't smell of shampoo, cologne, or even toothpaste. But, then again, she wouldn't expect anything less of a shinobi of his caliber.
But underneath all that is a quiet, heady smell she can't quite put her finger on. Sakura finds herself caught between hating him for being… himself, and wanting to bury her head in his shirt (consequences be damned!).
