All rights to Naruto belong to Masashi Kishimoto.

If Sakura's sweaty palms and her labored breath were any indication of her fear, then she most likely looked like a wuss at that moment.

Not optimal qualities of a shinobi.

Lee and Naruto had given her a pep talk, telling her that she would win and that her youthfulness would give her immense strength. Sakura did not have the wit to comment that youth was not in the question since Hinata was the same age as her, and since she was from a prominent clan, she was probably a great deal stronger than her.

She had never actually seen Hinata fight. When the kids of the academy still had their sparring days, she had been so focused on Sasuke that she ignored everyone else. She knew that Hinata was timid, since she always used to seclude herself to a corner, taking furtive glances at a certain blonde. Sakura thought that Hinata was adorable, and she had an inkling that the girl was quite intelligent. Sakura never imagined that her first conversation with the girl after years would be before a match.

Sakura made her way towards the stairs that lead down to the bottom floor. Hinata had taken the same way not long before, since they were on the same side of the balcony. As she continued down the hallway, she heard small voices become amplified. It was coming from halfway down the staircase, which Sakura could see from the top floor. She knew that whatever the two individuals were talking about was none of her business, but she could not help but hear a few words from a certain white-eyes asshole that sparked her interest.

"…your destiny is not in the ninja world, and neither is hers. If you win this battle, it will mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. No matter who is ultimately the victor, neither of you will make it to Chūnin. That is just how it is." Neji said from below her. Sakura peaked down the stairway. Hinata looked conflicted, opening her mouth and closing it as if she was afraid to speak what was on her mind. In reality, she probably was.

"B-but, Neji-ni-san…" She tried to start, but her speech devolved into incoherent mumbles afterwards. Sakura narrowed her eyes at the boy, incredulous that he would even think of demeaning her right before her match. She had no idea whether he was truly Hinata's brother or just someone else from the clan; however, what she did know was that there was some unspoken tension between the two.

Neji let out an exasperated sigh. "Hinata-sama, you are only going to get yourself hurt later. Perhaps you will win this battle, since you both share similar destinies and one of you is destined to lose, but you will not make it through the people who have already passed the preliminaries. It is best to just forfeit while you are ahead so you do not end up hurt…"

"That's enough!" Sakura screamed, not wanting to hear any more of his nonsense. She jumped directly from the top floor, where she was watching, to the stair next to Hinata. Hinata looked stunned by her appearance, and she could only guess that even though he did not show it, Neji was as well. "Who the hell do you think you are, huh? You're her family! You're supposed to encourage her to do her best and fight with everything she has! What kind of idiot tells someone that they are destined to lose? Hinata is fully capable of winning if she puts her heart and soul into it, and she doesn't need your goddamn opinion about what is 'best for her'." Sakura finished, gasping for breath at her long monologue.

The girl with indigo hair looked at her in astonishment. Never before had anyone stood up for her against Neji, since almost everyone in her clan knew of her weakness, even as a member of the head family. She grimaced about the thought of what Neji would say next. She knew that Sakura could not have known much about the affairs of her clan, otherwise Sakura would not have talked the way she did. However, she could not help but feel touched that Sakura had deemed her worthy enough to stand up for.

Neji looked positively furious at the pink-haired girl before him, the naïve little child that had the same foolish mindset as his cousin. It did not matter what he or she said, since everything was already predetermined by destiny. Nothing she said would change the future from happening.

"You know nothing of our family, so it would be best for you not to speak as such. Do not think you have any right to interfere when you are nothing more than a failure yourself. I am simply trying to protect Hinata-sama from the defeat that she will inevitably face. Don't feel so inclined to protect someone else when you can barely look after yourself." Neji said harshly. Sakura's eyes narrowed further, and it was if a spark appeared between the glares of her and Neji.

You've done all you could. The deep voice resonated in her mind. You don't have anything more to do here. Take Hinata and leave.

But, I can…

Idiot, Inner Sakura groaned with disdain, he will obviously not listen to reason. Show him. Prove to him that even a failure can win a battle. Sakura internally nodded her head, knowing that her Inner was right.

"Come on, Hinata-san." Sakura said with a small smile in her direction. Gently grabbing Hinata's arm, she guided her down the dark hall towards the battlefield, never sparing another glance at the older male behind her. Hinata followed without hesitation, never dragging behind for a moment.

"S-Sakura-san." Hinata's small voice vibrated. Sakura had to strain her ears to make it clear that she had said something.

"Oh, yes?" Sakura said, a little embarrassed at the pause she had taken to make sure that she had actually said something.

"…Thank you." She said, her voice dropping to nothing more than a whisper.

Sakura smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. Just try your best and leave the rest!" Sakura said enthusiastically. She then inwardly cringed at how cheesy that sounded. She heard Inner snicker in her mind, and it took everything within her to keep her from yelling at her mind out loud.

That would be even more embarrassing.

Whether Hinata let those words fly over her head or she just was not inclined to look into the saying, Sakura did not know. However, she was more than happy that Hinata did not comment on it.

Sakura and Hinata appeared on the field of battle together. As the approached the center, Sakura took the side that had her back facing Naruto while Hinata stood opposite to her. Hayate stood equidistant from the two of them, looking at the determination on both of their faces.

"Come on, Sakura-chan! Win this one for us!" Naruto yelled from the balcony, jumping up and down without any mind to decorum. Sakura rolled her eyes but turned around and waved back at him as a tacit promise to do her best. When Sakura turned back, Sakura saw that there was a small frown spread across Hinata's face as her shoulders slouched insecurely.

Sakura sighed before putting her hand on Hinata's shoulder. Hinata almost jumped in shock, but managed to remain steady. Sakura's smile grew as she shook her head. "Ignore him. He's cheering me on because I'm his teammate. If you were against anyone else, then he would be on your side." Sakura said softly. Hinata's face turned red, but nodded anyway. She could not allow herself to faint before the battle even started. She gave an appreciative smile to Sakura before the latter backed up.

You don't have to console her, you know. She's the enemy right now. Inner remarked with disdain.

Sakura scowled at her conscience. Have some sympathy, would you? Hinata's my friend. Inner clicked her tongue, yet said no more.

"Are both sides ready?" Hayate received two nods. "If there are no objections to the match, you may begin." He said as he jumped back to get out of their way.

Neither of them attacked immediately. Both tried to assess what the best approach to the fight was. Hinata took her stance – one similar to the one she had seen Neji in when she sat in on his battles with Lee – however, it looked uncertain and underdeveloped. While Sakura might have used this to her advantage, she did not know all of the weaknesses of the technique so she might put herself at risk.

She could feel a pair of white eyes from the balcony burning holes into her back, just waiting for when she would screw up and lose. She could not hear Naruto anymore, whether that was because he actually stopped cheering or her senses became acute to the situation in front of her, she did not know. What she did know was that she had to take care of Hinata fast or she would become prey to the powerful Hyuuga techniques.

"Byakugan!" Hinata said, startling Sakura a bit. She saw as veins started to spread across Hinata's temples and stop just short of her eyes. The clear pearl orbs that she once had become focused, more intense. There was no true way to describe what Sakura saw. She had read much about the Hyuuga dōjutsu before, and knew the gist of what it did. This knowledge scared Sakura, since all of her power relied on her ability to quickly summon chakra to her points. Since Hinata could see all of them, she would have the upper edge at predicting Sakura's moves when she tried to store up chakra. She had to be extra careful.

Just as a safety precaution, Sakura gathered her chakra into her feet. When she saw the blue aura emitting from Hinata's hands, Sakura could tell that she was preparing her first attack.

"Best of luck, Hinata-san." Sakura said as she reached her right hand into her weapons pouch.

"S-same to you, Sakura-san." Hinata stuttered, though never losing her determined expression.

No words were exchanged afterwards.

In a daring move, Sakura pulled out a kunai from her pouch and used the propulsion she had in her feet to push herself backward. She flung the kunai towards her opponent, who hesitated slightly at the appearance at the flying projectile. However, she refused to jump out of the way, and took it straight on. Before Sakura knew what happened, her kunai was out of Hinata's course with her bare palm in the way. Sakura had no time to marvel at the hidden ability that Hinata had shown, for she was preoccupied trying to think of a strategy.

Both of us are close-range fighters, and I cannot do much jutsu outside of the basic few. I will have to rely on my chakra control if I am to have any advantage. Sakura internalized.

Hinata took the next stride forward, drawing her flat palm back and getting ready to imbed it within her stomach, which would surely throw off her balance for the rest of the match.

Just as Hinata approached, Sakura bent her knees a little, readying herself for her next move. When Hinata's arm came within Sakura's range, she quickly flipped back onto her hands and caught her palm within her two legs.

"Leaf Whirlwind!" Sakura cried as she spun as fast as she could on her two hands, noting the difficulty with the added weight of a body. She then let go of Hinata's arm midair and stopped her spin as she watched Hinata ascend into the air before falling to the ground. Hinata, graceful as always, landed cleanly on her feet and summersaulted back to retain her balance. Sakura breathed a sigh of relief that she was able to deflect her attack. One hit to the chest and it might have been over for her, since that was the main chakra pathway in her network.

Sakura and Hinata took their stances again before they shot themselves towards each other.

"Come on! You can do it, Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled, oblivious to the fact that his cheers did not affect her while she was trying to focus on the battle. He thought that the speed that Sakura was showing was incredible, and he could see how prolific Bushy Brow's training had been compared to a few weeks ago when she first started her transformation. Naruto gripped the railing as he licked his chapped lips that were dehydrated after cheering for so long.

The fight between the two before him was the most interesting one out of the three, and he could not help but admit that both of the girls seemed sufficiently strong. He placed his bet on Sakura, as always, but he could not help but admire that Hinata seemed to be a strong adversary. He had never noticed before how strong she actually was. He always thought she was just the antisocial oddball at the back of the class that suffered from mild strokes too much. She had one whenever he saw her, at least.

"Quiet down, Naruto. You're going to distract her." Someone interrupted him from behind before he shouted another word. Naruto whipped around to see Kakashi standing next to him, watching the battle with interest.

"When did you get here, Kakashi-sensei!?" Naruto said as he pointed an accusing finger at his teacher. Kakashi sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Your lack of observational skills is a tenacious worry of mine, Naruto." He stated bluntly. "Besides, I wouldn't want to miss the match of my favorite student." Kakashi said as he crossed his arms.

"Wah-Why am I not your favorite?" Naruto said, offended.

"By favorite, I mean the one that gives me the smallest headache and actually listens to me instead of complaining or brooding all the time."

"I know that rules out Sasuke, but what about me?" Naruto asked as he motioned to himself.

Kakashi grabbed the top of his head harshly and turned it towards the match. "Just be quiet and watch." Kakashi deadpanned. Naruto looked like he wanted to protest, but he definitely did not want to miss anything about Sakura's match.

Kakashi watched as Sakura and Hinata engaged themselves in a taijutsu battle. Sakura played defense, as she was still unsure how to attack a weak point of her opponent. Kakashi knew that the Byakugan almost had no weakness when it came to perception, so Sakura would have to think of a plan quickly in order to avoid being eliminated herself.

Kakashi looked down at Sakura and smiled at how much she had grown since she first began her change. It was not just her strength or her physical appearance that had changed, it was also her mindset. Sakura seemed to understand what a shinobi had on the line going into a fight, having gone through almost a life-threatening experience while in the forest.

Indeed, Kakashi saw her battle against the three Sound shinobi – part of it, at least. He could not help the urge to run out there and help her, since seeing her struggle made him think of his own past, and the girl who resembled his little student so much that it pained him to look at her at times. However, he knew the rules, and just clenched his fists and waited patiently. He watched the gruesome sight before him as Sakura struggled to hold her ground, and ultimately almost killed two out of the three.

Sasuke seemed to have handled the other one due to his new power. However, Kakashi made sure to take care of that.

"Wahoo! Go, Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled as he jumped from one foot to another jovially when Sakura made a swipe under Hinata's legs and made the latter flip backwards. Sakura seemed to be more comfortable with taking the offensive stride, which would be crucial for the battle.

"I wish you would please be quiet and let the rest of us watch the battle in peace. Your yelling is childish and unbecoming." A voice chided from his left. Naruto scowled as he turned towards the source of the voice – the only person he might hate seeing more than Sasuke.

"Whaddya say, teme!?" Naruto yelled at the white-eyed boy, making Tenten, who was next to him, wince at the volume.

"I said that cheering her on won't do anything for her, other than perhaps distract her. Do you think your motivation truly means anything to her victory in this battle? Fate has already predetermined who will win this battle, whether you cheer for your teammates or not." Neji replied coldly. Kakashi raised his one visible eyebrow at Gai's "prodigy", witnessing for the first time the idealism that his rival was talking about. However, it seemed that Neji's disposition seemed to pass the mark of idealism, casting itself into something more extreme. Kakashi could not tell what it was, but he could tell that thinking that heritage was everything would only lead to misunderstanding.

He would know. Although not to the same extent as the Hyuuga, he used to think the same way.

Sakura stumbled as she took another sharp jab to her stomach. Sakura gasped for breath as she tried to manage giving oxygen to her exhausted muscles while trying to dodge the incessant attacks of her opponent. She knew that at least three of her chakra points, all around her stomach area, were already blocked. That spelled big trouble for her, since her ability to manipulate her chakra fluidly was her greatest asset.

I never knew Hinata held this much force. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to dodge her attacks. Sakura said as she and her opponent both took a brief rest due to their exhaustion. Hinata was still in her fighting stance, while Sakura was trying her best not to be hunched over on her stomach.

Your conscious mind is becoming more adept to sensing her movements, but your body does not react quickly enough. Allow me to help with that.

Sakura saw Hinata's muscles tense again as she got ready for another attack. How can you help me? Sakura asked Inner quickly.

Do you think I'm just here for decoration or something, cupcake? I can sense her movements before your conscience even starts to process it. Just listen to my instructions and you'll be able to avoid her attacks and use your own brain power to think of offensive moves.

Alright, I see where you're going with this. Sakura thought as she straightened her back for another round. And stop calling me all of these weird names!

Hun, you're calling yourself all of these names. Inner retorted with a snicker. She then said that it was time to get serious, with which Sakura had to agree.

Hinata charged at her again, the determination never wavering in her gaze. She drew her arm back to prepare for another attack, and, just as Inner said, Sakura was not able to perceive quickly enough the position at which her hand would land.

Move left! Inner's voice resonated, and Sakura followed her commands assuredly. Not surprisingly, Hinata's hand just barely missed her torso. Despite the lack of contact, Sakura still felt some force push on where her hand would have impacted.

The momentum that Hinata had put into that attack prevented her from seeing the attack Sakura made from the side. Sakura spun on her heel and delivered a backward roundhouse kick to Hinata's blind spot: her back. The force sent Hinata forward as she gave a small whimper of pain. However, she nonetheless stood up once again, with a little difficulty. Sakura cringed at what she had just done. She truly did not want to hurt her, as she could tell Hinata was in a similar situation. However, there could only be one winner, and they had both worked too hard for either of them to just give up their spot.

They both readied to combat again, but they heard Naruto's cheering come to a halt. Although Sakura might have viewed this as a good thing, the voice that overtook it was what truly irked her.

"…think your motivation truly means anything to her victory in this battle? Fate has already predetermined who will win this battle, whether you cheer for your teammates or not." Both Sakura and Hinata turned to the balcony where Neji's voice came from, disregarding the match for a moment. Neji stared down at Hinata and locked eyes with her, making her immediately avert her gaze. To see Hianta so terrified of her own family was heartbreaking. Sakura could feel her anger rise at Neji, and she could not stop the tears from welling up in her eyes. She refused to cry, not in front of Naruto and Kakashi, not in front of Lee, and definitely not in front of Neji.

"I'm getting really sick of your destiny bullshit!" Sakura intuitively screamed at him, surprising even herself since she was never one to use such coarse language. "What I know is that Hinata and I took a long journey to get here, and I'm not about to let some half-assed fate kiss-up who thinks he can talk down to those who struggle to improve themselves tell me that everything I've done has been for nothing. Who are you to say who we can or cannot be?" Sakura yelled. Hayate looked as though he was about to interfere, but just coughed and let the situation play out.

Gai looked over at Lee before looking back at Sakura with a smile on his face. She not only spoke for herself and the Hyuuga, but also all of those who were not born with the benefit of clan legacy or anything of the like. Gai could see the tears well up in Lee's eyes as he held his shaking fist to his heart, so touched by his protégé. His gaze returned to Sakura. He had a feeling that she had a long way ahead of her, but despite this, she was going to turn into someone great. Much greater than anyone expected her to be. Then again, expectations are not always true. His own father taught him that.

Neji looked like he wanted to retort, but Sakura cut him off. "Once I finish this match, no matter who the winner is, I give you my word," Sakura said as she pointed her finger at Neji, disregarding propriety, "I'll make you see how wrong you are." Sakura finished with a glare, one with the same intensity as Neji dawned.

The tension ran thick in the air as the whole stadium waited for Neji to reply. They had never seen the pink-haired girl so fired up about anything, and to see a new rivalry sprout between her and someone from such a prestigious clan was an interesting development.

Neji calculated a response in his head. Although he would not admit it to himself, he was intrigued by her drive to prove him wrong. It might have been something she had picked up from Lee, but she had a certain audacity about her, one that he could not explain but could not hate regardless.

"I look forward to that day." He mocked, accepting her challenge. A tantalizing smile appeared on Sakura's face as she kept her eyes narrowed.

Kakashi looked between his student and his rival's and could not help but smile at the interesting development. He then locked eyes with Gai, who shot him his characteristic smile and thumbs up. Kakashi sighed behind his mask, but acknowledged his rival's actions with a nod.

A cough broke the tense silence. "Please continue the match." Hayate intervened. Sakura and Hinata both gave him a nod before resuming their fighting stances.

"Show him what you've got, Hinata-san." Sakura said.

Hinata nodded. "Likewise, Sakura-san."

This time, Sakura made the first move. She ran forward and almost delivered a spinning kick to Hinata's head. Luckily for the latter (and partially for Sakura's own peace of mind), she was able to dodge quickly, bending backwards to avoid the hit.

Jump backwards! Sakura did so. She found that even though Inner did save her from the attack, she felt a gust of wind hit her torso because of the momentum of Hinata's palms. Hinata's eyes widened a little, as if perplexed by how Sakura is able to predict her moves and react before they are completely carried out. Sakura would be too if she did not know about the split conscience that she had gotten so used to.

Wow Inner, you're actually useful. Sakura thought, mentally cringing at the jab she had just made.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Inner deadpanned with a stoic voice, one that the old Inner would have never used. It just occurred to Sakura that if the old one had stayed, then there was no way that she would have made it that far in the battle.

And since Inner is her, then she learned how to save herself. How complicated.

Sakura decided to focus back on the battle, making three other clones of herself and positioning them at each side of Hinata, with her real self behind her. Hinata looked at the four of them, but did not ponder for too long which one was real, because they were more likely just going to come to her.

Sakura had read that the Byakugan should not be able to distinguish between clones, unless you have unequal chakra patterns in each one due to a failed copy. However, Sakura was more than certain that she had split up her chakra evenly amongst the four of them, so Hinata should not know which one she was.

The Sakura in front of Hinata struck first, giving Hinata a sweeping kick, which the latter jumped over. The ones to the right and left of her charged with their fists raised, one aiming for the stomach and one aiming for the neck. Hinata quickly halted the blow to her neck by catching her fist, and delivered a sharp kick to the clone that was about to strike her stomach before she gave a Gentle Fist to the chest of the other one. She turned around, since she knew that the last one had to be the real Sakura.

Sakura, while Hinata was occupied with her clones, gathered as much chakra as she could in her feet and sprung herself forward. She sent one kick to Hinata's torso, hoping that it would have some impact. Unfortunately, Hinata caught it and made one, painful jab to one of the chakra points in her shin. Sakura gritted her teeth at the pain, but refused to let that stop her attack. Sakura then lifted her other leg, becoming airborne for a moment, and kicked Hinata square in the jaw, sending her upwards towards the ceiling.

Sakura regained her balance and jumped into the air after her, appearing above her and delivering a harsh kick to the ground, as she had done with Zaku in the Forest. She watched Hinata hit the ground as she herself fell. Before Hinata landed, she was able to save her head by using her arms. However, all of the pressure affecting both her arms and her back, and she coughed up a little bit of blood in surprise.

When Sakura made her descent, she became very aware of the pain in the spot that Hinata struck. It was not until she landed that she realized that the chakra network in her leg was almost completely blocked. Once again, Sakura would have to fight on one leg.

Hinata struggled to stand up again, coughing up a little more blood before finally staggering to her feet. She held an arm across her stomach, where she had been hit. It seemed as though both of them were at their breaking point. Whoever got the next hit in would be the victor, and both parties were determined for that to be them.

It was time for the final onslaught. Both of them readied their positions, each taking into account their specific injuries. Hinata's hand had to leave her torso in order to revert back into her fighting position. Her hands shook violently, as if she was a fragile glass in an earthquake. However, her gaze remained strong.

Sakura had to elevate her leg a little off the ground, ready to charge forward with the force of one less limb. Even though the chakra connection in her leg had been temporarily severed, she was sure that she could still use it in her next attack. She would have to deliver a kick with the leg that was not injured, so she prayed that her injured one would be able to hold her up. She started to feel the aftereffects of the painful damage she had received to her entire body through Hinata's Gentle Fists. Despite this, she gritted her teeth and bore through the pain.

This was the final stretch.

Hinata rushed forward while Sakura pumped chakra into her good leg to propel her forward. Everything went in slow motion for the two of them as they approached each other. It all caught up to them when Hinata's palm made contact with Sakura's chest, and Sakura's leg made contact with Hinata's stomach.

Both girls were flung backwards with great force, both landing on the ground at the exact same time. Neither of them moved, and the rest of the spectators held their breath to see who would get up first.

Their attention was divided as both girls started to move at the same time. Sakura's fingers twitched as she struggled to bring herself into a sitting position, while Hinata used her forearm to push herself upwards. Both girls seemed to mirror each other's struggle to a certain extent, both passing through the stages of standing up with great adversity. At last, both of them had made it to their feet, so the battle would continue.

They did not stay that way for long.

Before Sakura knew what was happening, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, one so excruciating that it made black spots cloud her vision. She felt blood spurt out of her mouth as she immediately dropped to the ground, holding her chest and laboring her breath.

Hinata was not in a better condition, as the blow she had taken to the stomach had finally taken its toll. With her Byakugan still activated, she painfully turned her head towards her injury, only to see that her whole right ribcage was shattered. Only some of the bone remained merely fractured. She felt a searing pain in her stomach once more before she fell to the ground, blood rolling out of her mouth.

Both girls went unconscious.

Hayate looked at both of the girls, knowing that even if either of them could stand, it was best to call off the match right there for their own safety. "Because neither of them are able to battle, there is no winner for this match." His scratchy voice said.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto called at Sakura's immobile form. Kiba did the same for Hinata, but despite their calls, neither of them moved. Kakashi appeared next to Sakura who looked to be barely breathing, while Kurenai lifted Hinata up and examined her damage.

"Medic!" Both Jōnin called simultaneously. Neither of them took time to contemplate this coincidence, because both of their students were in critical condition. Naruto and Lee appeared next to Sakura as Kakashi cradled her bruised head.

He became alerted again when she coughed again, blood splattering all over the floor. Both Naruto and Lee began to panic, but Kakashi was frozen as the scene before him closely resembled his last moments with Rin. She was beaten and bloody in his arms, yet the difference was that Kakashi was not the one to cause Sakura's state. Nonetheless, the pain that the memory brought to him was horrifyingly unbearable. He clutched Sakura's lifeless body a little tighter, as if trying to ground himself that she was still there. He only released his grip when the medics arrived, and even they had to pry him off of her so that they could take her away.

Kakashi watched as the medics rushed both Sakura and Hinata to the ER, taking in a deep breath to calm his nerves.

Sakura, Kakashi thought as he furtively squeezed his eyes shut so that no one would see his pain, …I'm so proud of you.
