Hime: Hope you enjoy the chapter! I do not own Naruto!


Sasuke awoke to find herself dressed differently from before. Instead of the black camisole and shorts Tenshi had changed her into; she was now wearing a white camisole and shorts.

Who changed my clothes?

Suddenly, Sasuke heard a sound from outside so she quickly got out of bed to take a look. When she got to the door, she opened it slowly to get a peek of what was happening outside. From her view, she saw Naruto's naked back facing her. Immediately, her face flamed.

Why isn't he wearing a shirt?

That's when she remembered that she had sneezed on his shirt and felt her face redden even more with her embarrassment. Once her face had cooled down, Sasuke turned back to look at Naruto again and realized that something was on his back.

A tattoo?

Curious, she took a step forward to get a closer look but unlucky for her, the wooden board she stepped on was creaky and alerted Naruto. Quickly, he turned to see Sasuke peaking out.

"Sasuke! You're awake!"

Ashamed, Sasuke fully opened the door to show herself and noticed that someone else was with Naruto.

"Hinata?"

Hinata smiled, "Hello Sasuke. How are you feeling?"

"Uhm…better thanks…"

"I called Hinata here to help nurse you" Naruto explained.

Sasuke nodded.

"But why were my clothes changed?"

"Oh that's because you were sweating a lot so I wiped you down and changed you."

"I see. Thanks."

"No problem."

There was a moment of silence for a minute until Sasuke's stomach began to growl. Embarrassed, Sasuke blushed slightly causing Naruto and Hinata to chuckle.

Hinata smiled reassuringly at Sasuke, "Don't worry Sasuke; I cooked some food for you already. I'll just heat it up okay?"

Sasuke nodded and thanked her before making her way to the dinner table to wait and take the seat next to Naruto but as Sasuke sat down, Naruto stood up from his seat.

"Well, I'm going to go grab my shirt from the dryer and head home."

Sasuke frowned, unhappy but Naruto saw this so on his way, he ruffled her hair.

"Don't worry Sasuke; I'll visit you again tomorrow."

Sasuke scowled at the blonde boy as she fixed her hair. Naruto just grinned and waved goodbye to Hinata as he left. Sasuke on the other hand was deep in thought.

I thought I saw a tattoo on his back earlier…was I wrong?

Was it my imagination?

"Here you go Sasuke."

Hinata set down the plates of food and cutlery on the table leaving Sasuke to arrange it herself.

"Thanks again Hinata."

"It's really no problem Sasuke."

"I'm just thankful."

Hinata smiled and Sasuke smiled a little smile of her own back at her.

"I should get going."

"Alright, see you."

"See you Sasuke. Get well soon."

And with that, she left.


As Hinata made her way home, she felt a familiar presence nearby.

"Get down from the tree Sai."

Sai did so, landing in front of the ex-Hyuuga pouting slightly, "You're no fun Hina."

Hinata rolled her eyes, "So what is it?"

Sai took out a scroll from his pocket and tossed it to her "Jobs."

There was a sparkle in Hinata's eyes as she excitedly opened the scroll but it immediately vanished when she finished reading it.

"Why so few?"

Sai shrugged, "Anyway you'd better hop to it. Quite a few has a deadline."

Hinata sighed and nodded, "Alright, thanks I guess."

"No problem."

In a swirl of leaves, Sai was gone and Hinata continued her way home to make preparations.


The next day, Sasuke felt fine so she went to the training ground for her training with Tenshi. She was already there, waiting.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"Better. Thanks for taking me home."

"No sweat however are you sure you want to continue with the physical training? You just recovered."

"I'm fine really."

Tenshi frowned, still worried.

"All right. But I'm toning it down this time. So today, you have to run 50 laps around Konoha, 1000 push ups, 2500 sit ups, and 1000 tree sit ups."

Sasuke frowned, "That's half of yesterday's."

"I'm not going to risk your health Sasuke now get moving."

Sasuke sighed but did as she was told and began.


Some time later, Kakashi came to the ground surprising Tenshi.

"Hatake-san? To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I need to speak to Sasuke."

"About what?"

"Well…I was thinking of asking Sasuke of whether or not she'll still be interested in those fire ninjutsu lessons I promised her before."

"Well…she's still in the middle of her laps. I'll ask when she's done and get her to get back to you."

"Alright, thank you Tenshi-san."

"Your welcome."

With that Kakashi turned and went back, leaving Tenshi to ponder.

So Kakashi is planning to teach her fire ninjutsu?

Well it is her affinity…

I guess it's no harm but that type of ninjutsu requires a lot of chakra so I'd better get her some soldier pills if not, knowing her, she'll tire herself out.

Once Sasuke had finished her workout, she once again let herself fall backward on to the grass to rest her aching limbs and muscles.

"You alright?"

Sasuke looked up to see Tenshi's angelic face looking down at her.

"I'm fine" she reassured her as she sat up.

Tenshi then took a seat on the grass next to Sasuke.

"Hatake-san came earlier."

"Kakashi? What for?"

"He wanted me to ask you whether you're still interested in his fire ninjutsu lessons."

Sasuke mentally slapped herself for forgetting.

"Yes I am."

"I see. Then you're going to need these."

A small bag was dropped on Sasuke's lap. Curious, Sasuke peeked opened the bag to see that it was full of pills.

"What are these?" she asked as she took one to examine it closer.

"Soldier pills. Specifically, military rations pills. These are special pills that replenish one's chakra and nourish the body. It's made up of powerful stimulants and nutrients, said to allow the user to keep fighting for three days and three nights without rest."

"Wow"

"But don't take too many at one go. It'll be bad for your body. Only in emergencies, when you're really out of energy and chakra."

"I see. Are there are any other pills?"

"Yes, there is the blood increasing pill. It's a pill used by ninja to speed up the formation and increase of blood in the body. After having lost a significant amount of blood in battle, a ninja can use this pill to replenish the blood, so they can keep on fighting."

"That's really useful" commented Sasuke.

"Aren't they?" smiled Tenshi.

"So you're giving me these to help with my training right?" Sasuke asked, indicating to the bag Tenshi had just given her.

"Yup. Train hard okay?"

Sasuke nodded, "I will."

Satisfied, Tenshi got up and tossed another item to Sasuke.

"Here, these are the bandages you need for your punching exercise. Get to it."

"Hai sensei."
