Madara Uchiha Has Terrible Fashion Sense

At 6:47 the next morning, Sakura leaves her home to meet with Anko at training ground 66. Tomorrow it's the first Wednesday when she'll be training with both Anko and Ibiki at the same time. Calling her worried would be an understatement, but she's determined to win. She quickly takes the roofs, jumping from house to house and once she's at he gateway of the training ground, she waits patiently until 7am and then shunshins to the meeting place. Not a second later after she's appeared, a tornado of pine needles appears and reveals Anko.

"Well hello there princess. Looks like you finally learned to show up exactly on time. Good, it means we're making progress and you aren't a complete waste of my time." said Anko.

"But of course!" said Sakura with the most sarcastic tone she could muster. "We wouldn't want to take you away from your precious dangos, now would we?"

"Exactly! So now hop to it. I have a date with the dango stalls and unlike your sensei, I hate being late."

"Right."

"You still have those training weights on right?"

"Yep." When they first they started their training, Anko had made her a special form of weights to help with speed training. They looked like a set of tight bracelets, 2 on her wrists and 2 on her legs, but don't let them deceive you. They may look brittle, but they are special, sealed training weights, similar to the ones Guy-sensei and Lee used. Her wrist bracelets weighted 3 kilograms each and her ankle ones 6 each. Basically she carried 18 kilograms, for almost 2 weeks.

(A\N: 3kg = 6.61lbs, 6kg = 13.22lbs, 18kg = 39.68lbs)

"Good, cuz I've got more weights for you!" exclaimed Anko far too enthusiastically. Then she pulled out a transportation scroll that she opened on the ground. A puff of smoke revealed a bulky looking red armor. Anko took picked it up and threw it at Sakura. Sakura scrambled to catch it and almost fell down under it's weight.

"Wh- what is this?"

"That my dear, is a cheap replica of Madara Uchiha's battle armor. Minus the Uchiha crest and the obviously superior materials the original was made out of, it's a one for one replica. I already filled it with seals to make it heavier. You, my dear princess are going to wear it while we train. "

"Wait, so I'm allowed to take it off afterwards?"

"Yep! I'm not cruel enough to make you wear this ugly thing 24/7. Unless you want to?"

"Nope! No, no that's fine."

Anko snickered. "Good now put it on."

The pinkette quickly took the armor apart and started putting the chestplate on. Then she added the weird sleeve thingies and the leg protectors. Which let's be real, look more like ass protectors. But Sakura isn't one to judge. Actually no that's wrong, she is. But she really doesn't want to think what went through his mind as he commissioned this.

Probably keeping fresh and soft for Lord Hashirama's di-  Oookay brain, let's keep the sexual conspiracy theories for a later date.

Only once she completely put it on, did Sakura realize how heavy it was. "How much does this thing even weight?"

"Fifteen kilograms, give or take. Maybe more...I forgot."

(A\N: 15kg = 33.06lbs)

"Of course you forgot..."

"Alright! Enough yapping! Get moving!"

Sakura straightened herself and broke into a sprint. For a short part of her run, it was a straight walk. Once she reached the beginnings of the forest, she started going faster, despite the sensible thing being to slow down. But well...When you have Anko as a teacher, sensibility and rationality aren't an option. She starts going in a zigzag pattern as she's avoiding the trees. She jumps over the invisible ninja wire that triggers the explosive tags hidden in the trees. Once she reached a certain part of the forest, she takes out a kunai and throws it straight, before taking cover. The kunai pierces through several wires that laid out there like a fishnet.

Once the way is clear she picks up the pace, because the forest is getting denser. She starts jumping in the same zigzag pattern, except now she isn't avoiding the threes, she's using them to boost herself and go at higher speeds. Sometime in her run, the snakes also appear. Sakura narrowly manages to escape getting her ankle bitten off by one. This armor is slowing her down. The more she runs the more snakes there are, from above, from underground, even from inside the threes. Not only that, but the snakes are really dumb, as they manage to trigger the traps with exploding tags and set half the forest on fire. She jumps out of the way of a bigger snake's jaw and reaches a clearing. Once she's there, she runs across it to a big golden bell that she rings with the desperation of a dying man. This signifies the end of the exercise. 

Once the bell is rang, Anko shunshins to the clearing with a timer in hand. She mock whistles. "My my princess, 5 minutes and 22 seconds? That is 2 minutes and 14 seconds slower than your last record."

"Last time...I wasn't wearing this stupid suit of armor!"

"Excuses! Go and do it again. If you don't get a sub 4 by lunch, well...Let's say I'm gonna have a lot fun with your punishment."

Sakura sighed as she shunshined to the start. She knows a losing battle when she sees one, and with Anko, every battle is a losing one.
