The next day, Sakura got up almost as cheery as always. Since her chances with Rock Lee are ruined, she decided to go back to her roots. Sasuke. She got out to go search for him. She is always looking for a man. She then got an idea. “Sasuke is training for finals with Kakashi-sensei,” she thought. She wants to see him, but she doesn’t want to interrupt his training that could make him the best. She decided to go and see if she could find him and watch secretly from a far. Sakura walked all around looking for him. “What is a good place for them to be training?” she asked herself. She sat and thought, and thought, and thought. “Where could they be,” she cried desperately. “The river.” she wondered off to sneak a peel of what she would think is Sasuke’s training down by the riverside. She didn’t know that someone else was training there. She walked down as quiet as she could and was about to hide in a bush when she tripped and rolled down the hill.

“Sakura, are you alright,” a familiar, unwanted voice called. It was Naruto.

“What are you doing here?” Sakura asked still abashed by the fall she took on her face.

“I’m training with Jiraya, well I’m training, Jiraya’s ‘data-gathering.” he answered.

“Then where is Sasuke.”

“Most likely training with Kakashi, oh Sakura, I want to show you something,” Naruto went on.

“Okay, go ahead,” Sakura said while rolling her eyes.

“Alright, summoning jutsu,” Naruto calls forth the smallest frog ever created.

“Oh my god, get that away from me.”

“What’s wrong Sakura?”

“I’m afraid of frogs,” she screamed in utter terror.

“Oh, I’m sorry, well bye, I have to go train.”

Sakura runs off half in fear and half because she still wants to find Sasuke. “There has to be another place around here for him to be training.”

She walked off toward the woods. When she got there she saw Hinata hiding behind a tree. “Hey Hinata, why are you hiding behind that tree?” Sakura asked in a whisper.

“I’m watching Kiba and Kurenai-sensei help Shino with his training.” Hinata quickly responded back as son as she saw who it was.

“Why aren’t you helping too?”

“I don’t think I should be, I’m still not one- hundred percent.”

“Oh, well, I’m looking for Sasuke and Kakashi, have you seen them,” still trying not to draw attention to herself.

“No, I’m sorry, did you try looking around the river.”

“Yea, Naruto was there.”

“Oh, um, ha, ha, how is Naruto doing?” Hinata asked the same way she normally asked about Naruto.

“He’s good.”

“That’s great, did you look up on the mountain?”

“No, but that’s a great idea, thanks Hinata.” Sakura tiptoed off to trying to disturb Shino’s training. She finally made it to the top of the mountain to see that Hinata was right. Sasuke and Kakashi looked rather warn out, but now Sakura knew she was going to be alright. Her life back to how it was before.
