Here's the next. I thought this moment with Naruto would be shorter but it's not. My mind kept adding more to it. Thanks for the reviews. I truly appreciate all my readers and reviewers.

"Naruto! I can't believe you ruined it for me! I was just about to see his face and you blocked me!" Sakura shouted as she held Naruto high up by his collar. She wasn't quite through with throttling him but there was a slight pause when she thought she heard her name being called. She glanced around and shrugged.

But that moment gave Naruto a chance to get a breath and speak up while slightly choking on the first word, "W-what about that physical exam for Kakashi? He still hasn't got that done yet."

Naruto caught his breath and relaxed as she eased up on the pressure around his throat. Sakura relaxed and smiled brightly and replied, "That's right! He's still due for that physical exam. That's one more chance to see his face. And by the looks those fangirls had on their faces, it will be worth it even if trying to get him to come to the hospital takes a while."

"Yep, and you'll be the first one in our team to see it," Naruto added trying to get out of any more beatings. With a smiling on her face he knew that he was almost off the hook. But he knew it could easily get worse.

"Yeah, and over the years that money Team Seven has put on who gets to see if first will be all mine. I'm so glad I'm a medic! No one else will be able to see unless they have any type of authority that I have."

Naruto realized that if Sakura actually won the bet, he would be completely broke. That was never a good thing. He'd have to do a lot more missions to get his frog pouch filled back up again.

"Oh and speaking of hospitals, I almost forgot to get back to there. If Ino's feeling better, she can't be signed out unless I give the say so," Sakura registered letting go and letting Naruto land directly on his bottom on the ground. Sakura rushed off towards the hospital with a bright smile on her face while Naruto gently rubbed the red marks around his neck.

"Why is it that I always get into situations like this?" Naruto shouted loudly to himself, even though it was apparent that his words reached more than just his own ears. He stood up, swiping at the dust coating his still bright orange jumpsuit.

"It might be because you always seem to cause trouble for others," a cool deep male voice answered from somewhere near by. Naruto turned around to find where the voice was coming from but he still didn't see him. Naruto glanced both left and right but there was no sign of the owner of that voice.

"Where in the heck are you?" Naruto asked shielding his eyes from the glaring sun as it shone directly in his face. The owner of the voice tapped him on the shoulder and Naruto yelped and quickly spun around startled. He landed right back on his rear as he fell backwards.

"I'm right here," Hatake Kakashi responded stepping out of the shadows with a fresh new silk mask back on the lower half of his face. Kakashi stared intently at Naruto and continued on once Naruto stood back up, "I didn't appreciate your desperate efforts to take off my mask; thankfully I covered most of my face with my hand, so there's no need to worry about what kind of torture to inflict on you."

Kakashi added that last part to reassure Naruto but obviously that did not work, since Naruto was still shaking with a fearful expression on his whiskered face. So the Mirror Ninja decided to try once more, " It's okay Naruto. After all, Sakura has throttled you enough already."

Relieved, Naruto settled down and started to look sheepishly as he started to ramble, " That's a relief. . . I thought you were going to take it out on us during training later today. I don't think I could survive if you made us run any more laps than usual or make us do more push-ups or sit-ups. But you have to admit it was cool on how we humiliated you. I mean it had to be so embarrassing to-." Naruto quickly stopped as he felt a sudden chill in the air with a hint of killer intent.

Kakashi was not looking pleased and Naruto realized he shouldn't have said that. And it didn't help that he had rambled on about how Kakashi could easily take it out on them during training. He was in major trouble even more so than a few minutes earlier when Sakura was beating the snot out of him. Sakura used chakra for exquisite pain, but Kakashi not only knew how to torture a victim but also on how to give mental pain. Who knew what would happen during training later?"

"I suggest you should take it in mind that I did not fight you as hard as I should have. I could have used more of my techniques or used the type of style I only use on S-Rank missions. But I did not, because I knew that the fight was my training you on mainly Taijutsu," Kakashi stated carefully remembering his earlier years as an Anbu, "Earlier I might have given you the roughest battle of your life but I did not."

All the points that Kakashi was pointing out made a lot of sense. Naruto couldn't recall Kakashi doing any major type of Jutsu or any basic type of Jutsu. And then he realized that Kakashi had just simply been playing with them. And by the looks Kakashi was giving him, he was going to take it out on both Sakura and him later.

"Well. . .Gotta go, Kakashi Sensei" Naruto yelled rushing farther away while looking back to see if he was following. Kakashi rolled his eyes at Naruto's antics; Kakashi knew that he was going to feel a lot more happier after training today so he began to whistle as he pulled out his special and very precious book.
