That day Chouji was helping with the men and trained, Sakura was with the other girls and started training in the way an Akimichi kunoichi fought. Sakura found out that all the food that the Akimichi's eat are the energy that they need in order to do their expansion jutsu. Sakura laughed when Chiaki tried to make her do the expansion jutsu. She did it and she didn't have to eat, Chiaki laughed when Sakura rolled around until the jutsu wore off.

Sakura swore that she would never do that jutsu again. Chiaki just told her that her body wasn't use to making itself expand.

Later the training ended and Chouji went to see Sakura and the other girls. What he saw made him drop his bag of BBQ chips, his uncle, father, and a few other men stood beside Chouji and their mouths dropped.

The three other girls, Sakura, and Chiaki were wearing beautiful kimonos that bore the Akimichi clan symbol.

Sakura looked up when she felt a pair of eyes staring at her. She smiled when she saw Chouji.

"Hey Chouji! I thought I'd never see the day when you drop your food." she laughed.

Chouji blushed making her laugh more.

Then a messenger arrived.

"Haruno-san?"

"Hai."

"Hokage needs to see you in her office, it is an emergency."

"I'm on my way."

"Sakura-chan?"

"It is fine Chiaki-san, if you girls would like if it is a healing that is needed I could show you some."

"That would be nice."

At the Hokage's office Sakura and the others were met with quite a sight. A few ANBU were on cots that were brought in, courtesy of Kotetsu, Izumo, Genma, and Shizune.

"What happened?"

"We..were..on..out..way..back..attacked...Orochimaru.." one of them gasped out.

"Porcupine, shut your mouth and don't give into the sleepiness. You may not make it in the state you are in." Sakura ordered going into full blown medic mode.

Everyone, even the Hokage, watched in awe as Sakura made her rounds to the five injured ANBU, only two of them were in serious condition, tow of them were only tired and sore, and the last one was near death. As the pthers watched the rosette save the last ANBUs life in only a few secinds they watched as she did a re-check to make sure she got everything.

She stopped next to one of the ANBUs that only got minor injuries and she narrowed her eyes.

"Hm, either Orochimaru got another medic that is very well acquainted with poisons or I didn't kill Kabuto as I thought."

"Sakura?"

Sakura looked up at Shizune.

"I'm gonna need a few vials and a lot of room."

Upon her requests/demands, Sakura began working with the 'minorly' injured ANBU, who seemed to have trouble breathing.

Without warning Sakura tore the ANBU's uniform so that she had access to his chest. They saw as her green eyes widen then narrow. Then with quick movements she set to work filling the five vials brought to her. She stuck many senbon needles on the chest and did a few hand signs, the senbon's glowed brown then turned to white.

Seeming satisfied with this outcome she took the senbons out carefully and began healing once again.

"Done. Shizune-san, do you think that you could refrigerate these vials for me and make sure that no one touches or sees them."

"Yes Sakura."

"Nice Sakura. I'm proud to say that you are like a daughter to me." Tsunade grinned.

"Shisou, you were drinking while I was working weren't you?"

"Eheh, may~be."

"Shi~sou, I hereby ban you from having sake for a month!" Sakura smirked. "I can do this because you assigned me as one of your personal doctors, so you cannot disobey doctors orders. Since you enforce them."

"Sakura, you are not allowed to work at the hospital for a month!"

"Sake shall be banned from Konoha."

"...FINE!.." Tsunade collapsed in her chair mumbling. "Thank you again Sakura for saving these ANBU, I'm guessing you recognized the one you were working on?"

"Unfortunately yes."

"Sakura, who was that man?" Chouji asked, stepping forward.

"My ex-fiance."
