The screen flashed rather abruptly. Sakura hesitated for a minute, when she seen who her opponent would be, but she wasn't about to give up, besides they had a score to settle. Sakura leaped down on the field standing parallel from her opponent. Its was no other than the female sound ninja Kin. The proctor declared the match was ready to go, and signaled for them to start. Sakura looked Kin right in the eye, she wasn't afraid of her, she wanted her to know that she wasn't someone who should be taken lightly. Kin smirked at Sakura, she pitied her a little, she knew that she was weak. Kin crossed her arms and giggled in a sinister manner.
"Foolish little girl. You're weak, you will fail. Like you failed at being a sexy ninja, failed at getting that guy, and you failed at stopping us in the forest. You had to be saved by that Uchiha kid. And he isn't here to save you now. First Im going to cut the rest of your hair off, then I will roast you." Kin said to Sakura in a condescending tone. Sakura said nothing back, her expression stayed blank the entire time, as if Kin's world didn't even reach her. Kin frowned, who did Sakura think she was, not feeding into her taunts. " What's with you freak, who do you think you are? Just standing there. It looks like you haven't learned you lesson from last time. I'll show you!" Kin reached into her pouch and pulled out three senbon placed within her hand. Throwing them in Sakura's direction.
Sakura jumped and dodged the senbon assault rather easily, she heard the ringing of them. So that her deal. She throws the senbon to throw off the enemy, purposes missing so that the enemy can hear the senbon, and noticed that they are attached with bells. Her next attack will either have some with bells and some without...but that doesn't explain why she needed them in the wall. I better keep an eye on her.." Sakura thought to herself as she landed back on the ground. Kin continued to taunt her, " That's right, you're a jumper. Let me guess, you going to try that substitute jutsu, on my next attack huh? I know you attacks, you only you rookie jutsu." Kin pulled out three more senbon and prepared to threw them Sakura's way, once again Sakura jumped, but this time instead of landing on the ground, she decided to stick on the wall. Kin gasp then smirked. "So you figured my plan out, huh?"
"Ah, so that's why Sakura did that. For her to be able to stick to the wall for so long at such a level, is a great feat." Kakashi thought to himself, squinting a bit. "What's she talking about Kakashi sensi? Why is Sakura stand on the wall? What plan?" Naruto ask Kakshi as they stood observing the match. Kakashi looked down at Naruto and looked back at the match. " Sakrua most likely figure that girl out before the match even began, if you look closely you can see the senbon are attached to string. Sakura knew that the girl would ring the bell to confused Sakura, then sneak an attack to finish her off. I expected no less from her, she is the smartest one on the team after all. Ino looked at Kakshi when he said that and frowned. "Sure she's smart but still, how will she land an attack on that girl." Said ino,in bit of a envious tone, because she didn't notice what happened either. Kakashi shrugged and said, "I guess we'll just have to wait and see."
Back on the battle field, Sakura was still standing on the wall. "It was a rookie move. A trap within a trap. Poorly excuted." Sakura leaped from the wall toward kin with her first ready to strike the girl. Kin eyes widened, she was not expecting that speed, she knew if that attack landed she would be done for. She jumped and tugged at one of the senbon strings, causing the bell to emit a high pitched ring. That ring cause Sakura's body to go numb causing her to slam in the wall, falling to the ground. Sakura arm took most of the hit, it was sort of damaged, probably a minor fracture. Kin walked over to Sakura. " Foolish little girl, by now your trapped in my genjutsu, normally, I'd stay my distance to finish of the opponent. But for you, I'll get my hands dirty." Kin progressed toward Sakura, when she reached her, she griped her hair once again. Sakura held her injured arm, and resisted a little as Kin pulled her hair. " It's almost pathetic, you can't do anything while under my genjutsu...this will be too easy. Kin said as she pulled out a Kunai, getting ready to cut more of Sakura's hair. " Maybe after I finish you off, I go see that Uchiha next, and that yellowed hair brat, and kill them.."
The audience gasped, they all knew it was over for Sakura. "Kakashi sensi, she's gonna kill Sakura chan, I wont let her." Naruto said about to jump down there. Kakashi stoped him. "Naruto, Sakura isn't the type to needlessly flaunt her power, she be patience and see. She's a lot like you, you know" Naruto look confused as to what Kakashi said.
Sakura body was still numb from the ringing of the bell, but when kin said that last thing, something sparked in her. " You can say what you want about me. But you leave the rest of them out of this. I am your opponent. Don't take light of me!" Sakura jump up and smacked the Kunai from Kin's hand, much to Kin's surprised. "But how are you moving. ?" Sakura charged at Kin and punched her causing her to fly into the wall. Sakura Weave hands seals with her available hand and produced 3 clones, Tiger, Bore, Ox, Dog, to confused Kin, as she tried to take in her surrounding. "What's this...three of them, look closely." Kin thought to herself, as she tried to pull out three senbon. "NOT SO FAST! All the chakra to my feet, then I'll blast off the ground." Sakura thought to herself, as her speed increase significantly causing her and the clones to explode toward Kin, kicking her up in the air, with a single blow. Sakura blasted up towards her.
Gai's eyes widened. "Another one! Kakashi students most of inherited his ability to copy too. I understand how Sasuke could copy it , but Sakura." Gai thought to himself glaring at Kakshi. " Boy that Kakshi, he boils me blood." Lee eyes sparked with admiration and love. "Gai sensi. she is so beautiful, she preforming the dancing leaf shadow with such strength and grace." Lee said cheering Sakura one. Kakshi looked at his student with much surprise, he knew her chakra control was great, but her never knew it was at this level, he hadn't seen such skill sense Tsunade. A silhouette of Tsunade flashed in Kakshi's mind. Ino and Naruto were both shocked as well. Ino realized that Sakura was on a whole new level that she was on, and it angered her. Nartuo knew Sakura had it in her.
Sakura reached Kin in the air and elbows her in the stomach, forcing her to exhale, speeding up her trip to the ground. Sakura then reached and used it to speed up her ow trip to the ground. " I'm not finished with you!" Sakura said using the body flicker technique to appear on the ground, before Kin reached it. Please no more! I give." Kin forced out as she was a few feet from the ground. Sakura grabed her by the hair mid as she layed afloat and spun around in circles, securing her grip on Kins hair with her good arm. "Shanaroo! Dancing Cherry Blossom Shadow." Sakura yelled as she relased her grip causing Kin to slam into the wall knocking her out.
Kakashi's eye widened. " Sakura...she's different.I always knew she had a fighting spirit, but that intent to kill, she's changed." Kakashi thought to himself, he could feel her blood lust. The proctor declare Sakura the victor of the match calling it off. The run was silent, everyone was surprised at how brutal Sakura's attack was. Hiruzen looked at Sakura, " That style of Taijutsu, just like Tsuande-hime. That's one fine kunochi." Sakura fell to her kness, her arm was still in pain from that last attack. Kakashi, jumped down to get her and took her to the medics.
"Sakura. what you did in the was pretty reckless.. where did you learn to do those things?" Kakashi asked her on their way to the medics. Sakura shrugged. "I guess I picked it up when you taught us to climb the tree, and applied some of the body flicker technique to it. It was pretty easy to do." Sakura said as Kakashi placed her on the bed. Kakshi walked towards the door, at the door way he smiled at his student and said, "Well done. I expected no less of you."
