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... blah


Sakura crawled out of bed and sauntered over to her wardrobe to alight the clothes she planned to wear for the first day of the jounin examinations.

While it was true that Sakura's test was last and would not actually be held for up to 2 weeks from today, there was much to do in preparation.

She selected the clothes she would wear and was quick to dress and walk downstairs for breakfast. (if you're interested in clothing description, see bottom of page)

Itachi, to Sakura's dismay, had already left and, no doubt in explanation, sat a small piece of white paper on the kitchen bench.

Hokage sent for me.

Should be about the exams starting today.

I hope you slept well.

- Itachi

Sakura smiled. Her day hadn't started off the way she'd hoped but it was still pretty good.

She burnt herself a piece of ex-white toast and made her way across town to the hokage building.

She had just passed the Uchiha disrict when she saw Anko walking through the proud wooden gates.

'Here comes trouble... and what a curious place to have come from as well.' Maaya sniped.

Sakura frowned confusedly. She knew Sasuke had been living there and, as far as she'd known, he'd been the only one.

"Goodmorning Anko-san." Sakura greeted her, waving and running to walk with her.

"You're examining too huh?" She asked.

Anko nodded. "With Itachi-san."

Sakura tried not to cringe. She had to remain mature about this.

Anko had never been anything but respectful, kind and forthright with her. Suspecting her of anything was unfair.

"Did you go to see Sasuke?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Uh... Funny story actually. He called this morning, inviting me over for breakfast. It was quite out of the blue and just a second ago he ushered me out the door in much the same manner. Nothing short of weird if you ask me." She laughed, absently scratching her forearm.

Sakura didn't laugh. She wasn't sure why she couldn't share the humour of the situation with Anko but something about it didn't seem right.

Sasuke had never 'just invited' her over for breakfast, and they'd known each other for ages.

And above all; Why Anko?

They continued walking together toward the Fifth's buiding but Sakura couldn't bring herself to speak after that.

If Sasuke really was with Anko then at least Sakura wouldn't be anxious about Itachi.

Somehow Sakura was finding that this Sasuke and Anko thing was feeling just about as bad.

----

Sasuke stalked happily over to his large four poster bed.

Operation 'Make Sakura jealous' was an absolute GO.

Choosing Anko wasn't Sasuke's original plan but Ino was busy this morning and on short notice, few kunoichi, Sakura would find worthy foe, were available.

He had misjudged the timing minutely but he'd managed to get Anko through the front gates just in time for Sakura to notice.

And boy, could Sasuke not have been more pleased with the look he saw on her face.

----

"Come in." Tsunade beckoned Anko and Sakura into her office. "Take a seat."

Sakura did while Anko remained standing, arms crossed in her usual manner.

"Anko-san" Tsunade began. "You will be meeting up with Itachi later who will brief you full on your part of the examination. You are dismissed."

"Hai Hokage-sama." Anko said, bowing, before leaving, closing the door behind her.

"Sakura. Do you know much about what you'll be testing?"

"Hai shishou. Demo, a little elaboration would be nice.."

Tsunade nodded smiling. "There's quite alot that will be going on in your exam because while you'll be fighting some of Konaha's future best you will also need to be evaluating multiple aspects of their unique ninja ability."

"Thats does sound challenging." Sakura agreed.

"Which is why I chose you. I think it would be wise for you and Maaya to working together in this. I'm not exactly sure how but there should be a way for her to aid you. Perhaps you can work it out in the next couple of weeks before your testing begins. Until then, you will be required to help supervise each of the other tests. We really have an interesting lot this year so we'll need you or I to be there just in case. Most importantly, we don't want to actually lose any participants this year."
