Chapter Two: Fight

Sakura's POV

When we made it to our training spot I immediately sent my chakra throughout my body preparing to either attack or defend, but of course I know Naruto will most likely attack first because if he didn't it will probably deflate his ego, and God forbid that his ego drop to his IQ level it might kill him.

I look over to Naruto to see him summoning his chakra. As he does I sense part of the Nine Tailed Fox's chakra finding its way through to the body. All I could do is smirk knowing this fight will be a interesting one.

We start by getting into our stances and preparing our bodies for what is to come. Naruto had spoken up.

"You ready Sakura. If I start to hurt you please drop out I don't know if I can control myself." He says finally getting serious. I laugh at his comment and give him one of my wide smirks.

"I'm ready trust me, and same goes to you if I start to hurt you just drop out." I say trying to edge him on to where he won't hold back. Naruto just snarls in response letting out a small growl, and I start to notice his blue eyes turning red. I can feel the Nine Tails trying to take control, but I decide not push my luck any further.

In a blink of an eye Naruto launches his fist towards me which I block with a quick side step. He then rotates his foot making a 90 degree turn towards me with another fist, and this time I had to duck to block the blow of the punch. As I duck I place my hand on the ground rotating my body. Then sticking my foot out and using it to knock Naruto's feet out from under him. While Naruto was knocked on the ground I jump up while forcing the chakra to my right fist and aiming for his stomach, but before reaching him he rolls out from under my range forcing me to hit the ground causing it to break and dirt to go flying. I look up to see Naruto making a hand signal that was more than recognizable. It was the Shadow Clone Jutsu Naruto's most famous and well known Jutsu.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu." He said making five clones of himself. All I did was roll my eye at his stupidity.

"Way to be unpredictable." I say with sarcasm in my voice. All he did to respond was let out a low growl.

At my remark the five clones and him had attack as if hoping to overpower me. The first two had attacked at once from opposite sides. I ducked and the two clones hit one another causing them to disappear with puff smoke.

Next the rest of the remaining clones and Naruto had attacked at once. I focus the chakra to my right foot doing a high roundhouse kick hitting all of the clones and knocking them to the ground. The rest of the clones disappeared leaving only the real Naruto on the ground. I notice that Naruto had been knocked out by my kick and I start to do a little victory dance.

I then felt a chakra different than Naruto's. It wasn't familiar so I know it an enemy. I send chakra to my fist and start to look around. As my eyes catch a glimpse of a dark figure in a tree hidden within the leaves ironic enough. Slowly I move my hand to my kunai from my pocket getting a tight grip on the handle. Soon enough I throw the kunai at the tree hitting my target. I jump up to the tree to seek out my target.

I land on a tree branch slowly moving toward the dark figure. In front of the figure there are leaves blocking my view. Moving the leaves I see a blur of black as it lunges at me. We go plumbing towards the ground. With the black figure on top of me gripping my shirt I grip theirs and turned to where they are under me. Crashing into the ground I hear a discomforting 'snap'. I look down at the figure below me only to notice it's a boy around my age with the symbol of the village hidden in the mist.

"Feisty one aren't you. I like that." He say smirking and grabbing my shoulders and pulling me closer. The worst part was that my legs were straddling his waist. His grip loosened on my shoulder.

"Don't worry we will get to the fun, but you know the saying pain before pleasure." He said before grabbing me and throwing me against a tree near by. I let out a painful gasp. First I cough up blood, but soon I look up and give a wide smirk while laughing.

"What's so funny." The mist ninja ask fully out of curiosity with a shocked expression at my reaction.

"The fact that you think I'll allow that. You must be dumber than I thought." I say giving the most smug look I could. All he did was grit his teeth at me.

He launched himself at me sending a kick towards my torso, but I swiftly grabbed his foot pushing it backwards sending him falling. He quickly grabbed his kunai and thrown it towards my face. I moved as fast as I could, but as the kunai past by me it made a deep scratch on my face before hitting the tree behind me. I then put all my chakra in my right fist and run straight towards my enemy and throwing a punch hitting him in the gut sending him flying back through nine trees knocking down the trees in the path.

I realize that my chakra was going to run out within the next few attacks. Finally looking over I notice Naruto was still on the ground passed out. Not noticing the mist ninja coming back from my last attack. He had followed my gaze and realized that Naruto was here to. The other ninja then leaped at him while pulling out another kunai and aiming it towards Naruto as his target. I leaped to stop it from hitting Naruto by using my body to stop the blow.

As my body came right in front of the enemy's katana I started to feel something strange around my feet. It was different than the usual wet mud. Then realizing when I looked down in was sand. Which of course that meant.

"Sand Wall." A calm as ever Gaara shouted sending a barrier of sand to come up blocking the ninja's kunai strike. He then turned his head and fixed his eyes on the the mist ninja.

"Sakura." Gaara said with a harsh tone "You alright." He ask never breaking eye contact with the enemy. All I could do was nod because I was in shock at what had just happened.

"Sand Burial." Gaara said lifting his hands up making the sand wrap around the ninjas body cut him off from all air. I start to panic.

"Gaara stop we must bring him to Tsunde for questioning." I tell him trying to convince him not to kill the boy.

"Fine but if he is proven useless I will kill him for interfering with my mission." He says through his teeth.

"Okay let's just bring him to the hokage." I tell him putting my hands up trying to calm down the angered the sand ninja. After that Gaara grabbed the mist ninja by the arm and wrapped it around his shoulder. With that we headed back toward the hokages tower. I couldn't help but feel like we were forgetting something.
