I don't own Naruto and characters etc.
I do own this story so please don't copy it exactly, but you're welcome to as many of my ideas as you like.
With the greatly apreciated permission of BlackElement7, CrimsonSakuratree I begin writing what I hope will be an amazing Story! (Check out their stories (my inspiration): Not Weak!, Untold Secrets).
Chapter 26 -
"I.."
"And don't give me some sorry excuse! I wanna know the reason." He shouted.
Kakashi stared at Sakura. "You threw those kunai, missing to intention. Then, you virtually handed over the bell."
"And you asked if I could provide more of a challenge, even having lost a bell to him." Sasuke was in the sudden shock of realisation.
"Well... I guess I underestimated you observatary skills..." Sakura tried to laugh it off.
"Why?" Naruto had his head down, his fists clenching and unclenching.
"Naruto-kun. Are you sure you wanna go all out, I just don't think I can give you everything with out hurting you... If you get injured I can heal you in a snap, but I can't bring the dead back to life, and what if..." Sakura was starting to breath fast.
"What if you kill me?" Naruto looked serious. "Then I don't have what it takes to be Hokage."
"Naruto-kun, there's more to it than you realise-"
"Is there? I don't think so. I want you to show me everything you've got, down to ditching those stupid weights."
Kakashi and Sasuke were confused.
Sakura looked between them.
Sakura sighed, removing the spirals on her arms and ankles, revealing deep bruises where they'd sat for the many months since she'd first adorned them.
"Happy?" Sakura asked.
"Aren't you? It must feel nice... You must 360kg lighter."
The girl smiled faintly. "You're right, it's surreal without them on. But Itachi won't be pleased."
"Weights?" Sasuke asked. "When?"
Naruto answered for her: "The day she practised jumping, when she was so stoked to complete the laps."
"You did the laps in 360 kg of weights?" Kakashi was starting to feel a little stupid.
"Yeah, what'd you think I was just that pathetic?" Sakura asked, more directed at Sasuke than anyone else.
He shrank back.
"So you ready to fight me now?" Sakura asked vaguely.
"No." Naruto answered. "I seem to recall there being a stronger Sakura... Let's have a look see shall we."
Sakura's mouth dropped open.
"Yeah," Sasuke said. "What makes that such a bad idea?"
They all seemed to want to know.
"I've known all three of you for a long time. I've fought along side you... kind of anyway, and I know your weaknesses. I mightn't use them against you, but my inner would. That'd just be unfair." Sakura bit her lip.
"Weaknesses huh? Well, I wasn't aware of my specific weakness, this seems the perfect time to discover it." Naruto was back to being optomistic.
"Yes Sakura-chan, I've been interested in that alter-identity of yours for a while." Sasuke smirked.
"If we all work together, I don't see the problem." Kakashi crincled his visible eye.
'How wrong you all are.' Sakura thought.
'Let's not keep them waiting.' Sakura's inner jumped up and down, only too eager to be set free.
'Cool it, or I'll not let you go!' Sakura warned.
There was silence in Sakura's mind and she formed a handseal.
"Inner Release!" She shouted, as a flash of light befell the clearing and Sakura was replaced with her Inner's form.
