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 68

"Did you already know?" Sakura asked Itachi as she brushed out her hair.

"Hn." Itachi sat staring idly at her from atop the dresser.

"What are you examining?" Sakura set the brush down on the bedside table.

He hopped off the dressing table and strode over to lie, complacently, on their bed.

"Now or for the Jounins?" He smirked.

Sakura looked at him quietly until he spoke again.

"Survival, combat and strategy."

"Do you know what I'm doing?"

"Specialization, Medical jutsu, Kekkei Genkai... Basically, you're determining their specific profession as jounin.

"And Ibiki would be doing the written exam i guess." Sakura looked at him.

"There will not be a written exam. He will be supervising the analytics course. I'm not fully briefed on that."

He yawned.

"And Anko-"

"Survival, combat and strategy."

"But-"

"She will be aiding me."

Sakura scowled.

"Hn." She grunted and stepped into the bathroom, closing the door swiftly behind her.

She blinked onto the roof and began running toward the Hokage's building.

'I wasn't even good enough to take care of the fighting exam!?' Sakura fumed.

'I Just wanna be with Ita-kun.' Maaya whined.

(remember Maaya represents Sakura's true desires and feelings)

She reached the tower and jumped in through the office window.

"Tsunade-sama!" Sakura yelled, seeing her shishou asleep at her desk.

"Wh-Sakura-san?" Tsunade lifted her head to see Sakura standing, fisted hands and quivering in blatant fury.

'What have I done now...' Tsunade thought.

"So I'm just your secretary!? Sorting all your little chunins into professions, while there was a combat course I could be holding down with Itachi!?"

"Sakura. Sit down and stop accusing me of... not ...thinking highly of you. It simply isn't the case. You were chosen for that section of the exams quite specifically because only you possess the nescesary qualities to do such a job."

Sakura did not look impressed.

"The person who does that part of the exam needs to be a medical ninja for starters and that knocks alot of people out. Then you have to have atleast basic experience with Kekkei Genkai if not having one of them yourself. You are required to have knowledge and experience relating to every area of the jounin status so that you can properly ascess and nominate the absolute best area for each ninja. That includes black ops, hunters and assasins. It isn't just interviews and grading Sakura. You'll need to fight every applicant and so finally, you need to be strong, intelligent, resilient and fit." Tsunade said in the Hokage voice she often forfeited around Sakura.

Sakura was looking a little less angry now.

Just sad.

"Well, then...why aren't I with Ita-kun?"

Tsunade rose her eye-brow.

"Because he and Anko are doing the survival and-"

"I know! But... why?"

"Sakura, this isn't a big deal. Go home and get some sleep."

"Hn."
