Sparring
Located on the training grounds, Sakura and Naruko were in the middle of sparring. Watching on the sidelines, dripping with sweat, a result from their earlier sparring matches was Hinata who had been sparring with Ino. The winner of that was still undecided, seeing as they stopped in the middle, too distracted by Sakura and Naruko's match. Temari, who was visiting Konohagakure, somehow got roped into sparring with TenTen.
The weapon mistress had been itching for a rematch anyway, and even though TenTen put up a good fight, stronger than the last time they battled, in the end, Temari was declared the winner. Now that their match had come to an end, the two girls had decided to watch the sparring match between the only two kunoichis on Team 7.
"So... I take it their latest mission did not end well?" said Ino, arms folded across her chest; standing beside her was Hinata.
"Seems like they ran into Sasuke-kun, and the reunion did not end pleasantly," Hinata answered Ino, recalling Naruko's sad face as she told Hinata about her reunion with Sasuke. Hinata was just happy that Naruko shed no tears for that lousy piece of flesh called a human being, 'cause if that were to happen, the Hyuuga princess would waste no effort hunting him down and giving him an early death sentence.
"Wow, you know I just now noticed that Sakura and Naruko have six-packs!" Ino's eyes were glued to both Naruko's and Sakura's solid abdomens that could put the guys' to shame.
Sakura was lean but was filled out with strong, firm muscle, throwing punch after punch at Naruko. The blonde's arms, despite her height and increased growth in the breast department, were a bit more slender than Sakura's, but their ab muscles were about the same. The two girls were engaged in a taijutsu spar. Showing off their athletic figures, they wore black tights and a matching colored tank top. Fingerless black gloves covered their hands as Naruko boldly blocked both of Sakura's punches with her arms shielding her face, before switching to the offense.
"Sakura's fighting style kinda reminds me of Lee's. Even without using her chakra, her strength is truly terrifying," praised TenTen, spotting about six craters in the ground caused by Sakura's fist.
"Only Naruko can fight Sakura head-on and withstand the power of her strength. Even though Naruko has just as much strength as Sakura, she has quick reflexes, and her body is very agile, even more so than mine." Ino was the one to speak up this time, watching as Naruko did a handstand on the ground, legs split open to dodge Sakura's kick, and wrapped her strong legs around the kunoichi's arm, pulling her off her feet and throwing her across the field.
Honestly, Sakura was caught off guard by this move. By the time she steadied her balance, a sharp claw-like nail nearly ripped her face apart if she didn't deflect Naruko's movements. A few strands of her hair were sacrificed. Green eyes shot towards the short blonde kunoichi and saw her in a pose that reminded Sakura of a fox on the prowl. The length of Naruko's nails had elongated and sharpened. Those azure eyes filled with a crazy sense of joy.
"Naru-chan seems to be enjoying herself!" smiled Hinata, aware that not many people could evoke such a reaction from her best friend.
A burst of pride swelled within Sakura's chest, knowing that Naruko saw her as not just a friend but as an equal. Pounding her fists together, Sakura felt adrenaline rushing through her blood. The unbearable heat of the sun caused glistening drops of sweat to drench their bodies, mouths panting hard. If one were to ignore the odor which emanated from these two, as they had been sparring for the last four hours without a break, such a scene was truly erotically captivating.
"These two are battle-nuts, but they have my respect," smirked Temari. Rarely did most kunoichi earn her respect, mainly due to how they were too naive for the shinobi world—but seeing these two girls duke it out, Naruko flipping and twisting her body in all sorts of ways that Temari was pretty sure should be humanly impossible, and Sakura charging forth with punches and kicks that carried the strength to crush mountains and boulders, was truly a sight for sore eyes.
Sighing as a group, they watched as both Naruko's and Sakura's punches collided and created a shockwave of wind that blew their hair back. The group of kunoichis could only mutter one thing that would accurately describe the kunoichis in Team 7. "They're monsters."
Followed up with Ino saying, "And to think all of this was motivated by wanting to bring Sasuke back."
Temari saw Sakura land a blow on the blonde's stomach and wince from the impact. Even Naruko had a hard time shaking that one off but countered back with a swift kick that sent Sakura flying towards the shallow river. "I don't know whether or not they're training to bring him back alive or dead?" questioned Temari.
"I have no problem if it's the latter." Hinata's smile was so sweet and lovely, contrasting greatly against her words, showing hints of a dark side to the girls who were all smart enough to take a cautious step back. This new side of Hinata was created by Sasuke when he harmed her precious Naru-chan and dared to cause tears to fall down those adorable round cheeks.
"Hinata... you're truly starting to scare me," said Ino to which Hinata innocently tilted her head to the side as her words held no ambiguous meaning.
