Genma watched the little pink haired girl enter the library. The girl must have no friends either that or she was a total bookworm, after all, why else would a girl who couldn't be older than four come to the library nearly every day.

The petal haired girl disappeared round a bookshelf that was filled with scrolls. Genma sighed and went back to reading his book, it was one of the only things he could do that helped him with his boredom. He still didn't understand why Kakashi was always reading his.. books, Genma would probably go mad if he read the same books over and over again, twenty-four seven.

'Let's see.. we've read and memorised everything in the human body and how it all works, do you think we're ready to start learning medical ninjutsu?'

'Cha! Yeah let's do this, we've spent two weeks memorising everything it's time we do stuff!'

'You do realise memorising and reading is doing something, right?'

'Cha! You know what I mean!'

'Yeah yeah, Let's just try it, we did learn everything we could on medical ninjutsu so we should be able to at least summon healing chakra by the end of the week. The books on chakra said that medical ninjutsu takes precise chakra control; however you can improve your chakra control and can learn how to focus your chakra by doing certain exercises such as the tree climbing exercise.'

'The books also said that chakra coils are what allow us to use chakra. It said that physical and spiritual energy is produced in the "chakra coils" that surround and connect to chakra-producing organs. This energy is housed and replenished there and then circulates throughout the body similar to the cardiovascular system. Individuals are then able to harness this energy by controlling the chakra within themselves. I don't really understand it all. Cha! However I'm pretty sure that the book also said something about chakra coils usually developing fully by the age of eight, at least I think that was the age it said.'

'So we can't use chakra?' Inner took a while to respond for she was in deep thought.

'I think we might be able to, after all our chakra coils may have developed early like how we started walking and talking before others our age. Cha, I think it's worth a try anyway.'

'So shall we go to our clearing and try tree climbing?'

'Let's do it, cha!'

Sakura exited the library and made her way to the clearing in the woods.

'So I basically pick a tree then gather chakra into my feet and walk up the tree?'

'Yup! We're pretty lucky since the trees surrounding this clearing are all sturdy and tall, so we have plenty to choose from! Cha.'

Sakura walked up to a tree and tried to feel her chakra. She closed her eyes in concentration. She felt a cooling sensation spread through her, pulsating from her tummy. She pulled the energy that she guessed was her chakra to her feet and placed her right foot onto the tree.

'If I focus too much chakra to my feet then I will be pushed away from the tree, causing the tree to break around the point of contact and as a result, I will fall. However if I use too little chakra then I will lose my footing on the tree and fall off. So I will have to get the chakra flow and amount of chakra I use to be pretty much perfect.'

'No pressure, cha!'

Sakura took a deep breath and placed her other foot on the tree. So far, so good. She opened her eyes and slowly started walking up the tree. The hardest part was constantly focusing on the flow of her chakra.

'I'm surprised that we can keep our body from flopping over.'

'Gravity doesn't exist for us. Cha!'

Her confidence grew the higher she walked up the tree, she decided to sit on one of the branches since she was starting to get tired.

'Hey Inner?'

'Yeah?'

'Have you figured out how to control the whole of our body?'

'No, not yet. Although, I have figured out how to control another part of our body! Cha!'

'Really? Which part?'

'I'll show you!' Sakura's left arm then rose and slapped her in the face.

'..Did you really have to do that?' Sakura received no response. The four year old sighed before standing up and running down the trunk of the tree, chakra focused to her feet.

'Let's do medical ninjutsu, cha!'

'We can't do that right now, just doing that simple

exercise completely drained our chakra, if we use any

more than we may pass out.

'What? So we have to wait until tomorrow or however long it takes for our chakra to recharge?'

'Well, yes but we can meditate, eat or sleep to speed up the process.'

'Then let's go home and make some food, it's lunch time anyway!' Inner roared. Sakura sighed but started walking out of the clearing and to her home .

When she arrived home Sakura had decided to make Yakitori. She started by soaking bamboo skewers in water for thirty minutes. She then mixed soy sauce, sugar, Sake and Mirin in a small pot and boiled it for ten minutes until the sauce became a bit thick. Next she cut chicken thighs into cubes and cut onions into long pieces and then proceeded to skewer the chicken and onions. Then, in a heated frying pan she spread oil very thinly and cooked skewered meat at medium high heat for five minutes. Then she turned it and cooked for another five minutes until the meat was browned and cooked through. Then she dipped the chicken in the sauce and put it on a plate. She sat down at the table and began to eat.

'I love food, cha!' Inner cheered.

'Mhm! This is delicious!' Sakura agreed. She finished her meal and cleaned her plate.

'Cha! Now let's do medical ninjutsu!'

'Inner we can't, our chakra won't replenish immediately.'

'Then what's the point of eating and meditating and stuff when it's going to take forever to charge anyway?'

'It just helps with the process! If we meditate we should be able to do more later.'

'We really need to work on increasing our chakra pools then, cha!'

'Yeah, I agree, let's do some physical exercises later, that should help.'

'Cha! Let's go back to our clearing and meditate, you should be able to come into our mindscape whilst meditating, so we can pass time quicker!'

'Sounds good.' Sakura walked to the clearing in the woods, all the while conversing with Inner. When she reached the clearing she sat in the middle of it and started to meditate.

She felt the world around her shift and opened her eyes to find a sea of black.

"Yay! You're back! Cha!" Her Inner cheered from behind her.

"You do realise I basically never left, right?" Sakura stood up and turned around to face Inner. "Why do you always creep up behind me when I enter our mindscape anyway?"

"I know that you're technically always mentally here but still." Sakura pouted when she noticed Inner avoid her second question.

"So what do you want to do?"

"Let's just chat, cha!"

Sakura and Inner chatted happily for what felt like hours, eventually Sakura decided to exit the mindscape.

When she came out of her meditative state Sakura was met with a blinding light, she squinted her emerald eyes as she tried to shield them from the suns' harsh rays.

'Let's run some laps around the clearing to try and build up some stamina.'

'Let's do it! Cha!' Sakura stood up and stretched before jogging around the clearing. By the time she had finished her seventh lap Sakura had started panting. She managed to reach her tenth lap before she collapsed onto the ground panting heavily and covered in sweat.

'I think I'm just going to stay down here for a bit..' Sakura waited for her breathing to return to normal before she went into a sitting position. 'So what's next?'

'Let's fight! Cha!' Inner suggested.

'Ok, let's start with the fighting style they teach at the academy.' The library had plenty of books that were from the academy, Sakura and Inner had read and memorised them all.

She stood up and got into a the fighting stance that was shown in the books.

'Outer you need to bend your knees more!' Inner commanded. Sakura sighed but complied all the same. This is how the rest of the day went, Inner correcting Sakura's form and Sakura trying her best not to lose her temper.

Eventually the sun set and Sakura had decided that it was about time they went home. They had made great progress and Sakura couldn't help but feel proud at herself.

'Cha! Tomorrow we learn medical ninjutsu!' Inner declared. Sakura sighed, exasperated, Inner was unbelievable. How could somebody have so much energy?
