"Are you sure that you are okay now Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked worried.

"I am fine Naruto. I was just a little stiff before that is all but I feel much better now" Sakura said and to prove it she did variety of stretches just to get her teammate to shut up in the short break that was taking place before the Chunin Exam's third round prelims began.

'Interesting' Kabuto thought as looked from where he was to see that now that the sun was up again the stiffness Sakura held from the justu being used on her was gone and she still has no memory of how the encounter with Orochimaru actually ended.

When the third round of the Chunin Exam was over after everyone that took part in the first part of third round had fought. The sun was already starting to go down as there were quite a few break in between matches certain matches. Like letting the arena air out a little before continuing after Naruto and Kiba match, Hinata carried taken away and Neji getting taken away from nearly killing her, and the clean up of Tenten's weapons after her lost to Temari, etc.

Sakura had fallen asleep and rather suddenly at that to as one moment she was standing up perfect fine and the next she collapsed to the ground fast asleep. Naruto tried waking her up but nothing he did seem to work and seem to be in too deep a sleep to respond to anyone at the moment. With Kakashi away doing something with Sasuke, that left only Naruto to carry his pink hair teammate home as they were the last two in the arena to leave.

'Sakura-chan you sure are heavier then you look' Naruto thought as he carried her through same path the Hokage and the Jonin used to get to the Tower in the center of the Forest of Death without having to go through the way that Naruto and the other genins did for the second round of the Chunin Exam.

"Yo" Kakashi said as waiting for Naruto at the entrance to the village from the Forest of Death.

"Kakashi-sensei were you busy with Sasuke-teme" Naruto asked.

"Yeah but I am finished now. So how about I take Sakura to her parents as they probably would not take to kindly to see you carrying their daughter on your back" he suggested.

"Alright here" Naruto said as he hand her over to him and Kakashi almost dropped at the shocking amount of weight Sakura was.

"Yeah Sakura-chan seem heavier then she looks as that was my reaction when I tried to lift her early" Naruto told him as left for his house.

After dropping Sakura off in her bed since her parents could carrying her, Kakashi vanished in puff of smoke and reappeared elsewhere in Konoha but as it turns out the person Naruto and Sakura's parents thought was Kakashi was really Kabuto.

'Interesting indeed as the spell seem to be taking more effect now then it did in the second night. I wonder what going to happen during the third. Its possible that Orochimaru-sama might have to test this one someone else as process is taking slightly too long with Sakura to bring what is suppose to be the full results' Kabuto thought thinking about how heavy Sakura was now.

Later the next day Sakura was pacing around wonder what she should do as she wanted to thank Naruto for what she heard he did for her the other night when she just feel asleep and did not wake up until the second the sun rose in the sky today, however in doing so she ran the risk of making Naruto thinking she falling for him or something when she simply wanted to thank him.

Thinking was getting her nowhere as sometimes you just needed to act and this was one of those time where she just needed to do just that.

Having gotten the information of where Naruto lived from Kakashi soon after they officially became Team Seven as when Naruto did not arrive on time. It was her that went to get him so that Copycat ninja did not get upset with having to wait for him. Strange that would happen since he was always late for things himself but did not like it when others were later then him.

Knocking on the door she wonder what Naruto was doing that he could not answer his door maybe he was not here as that was reasonable explanation

'This how I felt that one time I tried to get Sasuke-kun to answer his door. Maybe I should call out to Naruto as that what I normally do' Sakura thought as placed her hands on her hips and had her head tiled slightly to the side as annoyed expression was across her face but almost the faint blush there as well since she thinking about both Naruto and Sasuke(with him being more background thought though) at the same time result in her current expression just as the sun began going down.

'I wonder who this could be at this night and of all the time when can not stop going to the bathroom' Naruto thought as what he did not know was that once again he had drank milk well past its expiration date result in similar set of circumstance that happen on the day that the Genin team were decided.

'They really seem to want to talk to me about something but what as hardly anyone other then the old man, Iruka-sensei, and few others actually come here to my house' Naruto thought as he opened to the door to reveal who wanted him.

Though what Naruto saw was not a person as standing there at his doorway was life size statue of Sakura in amazing detailed as everything about her was present in this stone copy with the exception of her eyes with were vacant grey orbs but the expression they were supposedly conveying was clear as day. In fact Sakura's face with it slightly annoyed expression and what Naruto guess was meant to be blush despite being so life like was a cold and hardened mask with no warmth whatsoever.

'Okay this strange who would give me a statue of Sakura like this I better go get someone to look this thing over as this most detail statue of person I ever seen and all people to give to they decide to give to me and more over it of Sakura-chan' Naruto thought confused as he left two Shadow Clone to look over the statue while he went to see if Iruka-sensei could come and check this thing out for him before he moved it an inch.
