Minutes after the fight, the two of them were gathering their things. "Damnit." thought Sakura. "I guess I expected it, but still." Despite her early advantage, Naruto was still able to beat her. Of course, neither of them used any advanced abilities, but she could tell that this would only make it worse. Sakura began to feel better though, realizing that he wasn't THAT far ahead of her anymore.

Naruto was whining and rubbing his stomach. "Oy Sakura, what was with that kick at the start? That hurt you know..."
Sakura scoffed. "Well you said to start, and you shouldn't let your guard down!"
Naruto grinned, as if he could be mad at her. "I guess so."

Sakura was observing Naruto pensively. She cleared her thought and said "Naruto, can I ask you something?"
