Normal POV

After the sand siblings left they went to the bridge to wait for Kakashi.

When they got there, surprisingly Kakashi was already there.

"Well, now that you guys are here I can explain to you what's going on. You might have met other teams from different villages. But three weeks from now the chuunin exams will be held here."

"What exactly are the chuunin exams?" Naruto asked.

"The chuunin exams are the tests you take to become a chuunin. However, there is a chance that you could die which is the reason I need you to sign these" In his hand were three slips of paper that he handed each of his students.

"You can choose not to take the exams if you don't think you can, and wait until next time. You have until the exams start to train and prepare yourselves. And if I were you I would start now. Meet here if you're going to take the test and I'll tell you where to go. Later." Like always he poofed away.

Naruto started blabbering away but Sakura was too busy talking to her Inner to care.

'Did he say that we could die? '

'Yeah I believe he did. But don't worry I'll make sure you don't die because I don't wanna die'

'Thank you so much for caring'

'You're welcome, now I need you to go pick up some stuff. '

'What stuff exactly?'

'Well I need you to get some extra weapons, weights, and some food then go to training ground #14'

'What's the food for?'

'I eat what you eat and you skipped breakfast and I'm hungry now GET WHAT I ASKED FOR!!' And after saying that her inner receded into the recesses of her mind.

'You didn't have to yell, jeez'

"SAKURA-CHANNNNNN!!!!!!"

"Huh?" when Sakura started to pay attention she realized that Naruto had asked her a question and he and Sasuke were staring at her like she was a psycho.

"What?"

"I asked if you were ok. You looked like you were thinking of something difficult. Oh!, if it was about what Kakashi sensei said then don't worry I'll protect you" he said with a big grin on his face.

"Ooooook thanks Naruto. Well I have too go do something. Later." She said as she turned and ran away before he could say something.

Normal POV

After Sakura left the bridge she quickly ate some food at a restaurant and proceeded to buy some weapons and weights. When she got to the training ground the wind picked up and the leaves whirled. And out of nowhere appeared…………..a Sakura look alike! The only difference is that this one wore a black skirt with slits on the sides, red shorts, and high heels or whatever (the kind that Tsunade wears). She also had on a red tank top with the Haruno symbol in black on the back, black gloves and a black choker.

'Ok, now put the weights on and we will begin with the basics because you really need it'

Sakura just stared at this person not knowing who the hell she was. Inner Sakura seeing this said

'What's wrong with you??? Oh yeah I'm inner Sakura, now put on the weights'

"Oh, ok then"

Once the weights were on she ran 3 laps around konoha as instructed by her oh-so-loving teacher. And after each lap she added heavier weights making things a lot harder but improved Sakura's agility.

Afterwards she had to do push ups, sit ups and all the crap she hated. It continued until she couldn't even move, literally. Who knew inner Sakura was such a tyrant.

But when she was done for the day the wind picked up again and inner sakura disappeared to Sakura's mind leaving her at the training grounds alone. When she had the energy she left and walked home took a shower and slept.

'Hey sakura, wake up we have training to do!!'

'Huh?..But I just went to sleep and I'm so sore'

'Yeah I know, I can feel it but you still have to get your ass up and train if you want to have a chance'

'But I only had what? Four hours of sleep?' she thought as she sleepily got dressed skipping her shower since she already took one before she went to sleep.

When she left the house and went to the training ground, inner Sakura increased the number of laps by 2 with heavier weights. They continued the same routine and then Sakura took a break to get something to eat. When she got back they worked on something else.

'Remember the tree climbing exercise you did with Kakashi sensei?'

'Yeah, what about it?'

'Well I want you to do the same thing'

'Fine I'm to tired to complain'

They continued doing this for a week and a half, and when her chakra, agility and strength were high enough she started learning ninjutsu, genjutsu and started working on her taijutsu in heels might I add.

On the last day her inner said she could take the day off and what did she do?, she bought a new alarm clock and then spent the rest of the day asleep. She had no more then three to four hours of sleep for three weeks straight. She went to bed thinking of what would happen tomorrow.

Normal POV

When Sakura woke up she took a hot shower, ate breakfast and then dressed in her new clothes. She had on a black spaghetti strap shirt with a fishnet shirt on top and black tight fitting capri pants that had slits on the sides at the bottom. Also she wore heels like her Inner, a studded belt, a black choker and painted her nails black. (If I never mentioned it on my profile page I'm goth) She had her hair in a ponytail with her bangs swept to the side and a black silver-ish butterfly hairpin in her hair.

She left her house and headed to the bridge.
