Being reborn into Naruto isn't something you'd expect when you just wanted to go to sleep.
In any case Aki woke up in Naruto as a character that never even existed in the anime to begin with.
Is she mad? No, not really. Sad? Yes, maybe.
Does she pla...
With the preliminary rounds final over I can finally breath. I sighed in relief as my body touched the hot water of the bath.
"Is the temperature to your liking, Lady Aki" My caretaker Mina said with a small smile.
"It is, thank you." I said with my eyes closed, even though I've been in this world for a good 2 months now it's still kind of weird having someone basically take care of my everyday needs like this.
A whole month to prepare for the final round, I wonder what I should do beside training and serious stuff like that.
I got out of the bath as Mina handed me a towel to dry myself while she took care of my hair.
"Your hair has gotten quite long, should we cut it?" She asked.
Should I? I mean cutting would do me some good as it's pasted my back now and might cause some trouble for me.
"No, maybe another time." I said as she continued to dry my hair.

Fighting someone like Kankuro will be anything but easy, we Hyūga are close-range and I guess long-range as well depending on our attacks.
Kankuro could easily keep me at a distance and cause me damage. Of course with my Byakugan I can easily see his chakra strings and cut them off allowing me to get close to him and use gentle fist, but the problem is how would I pull that off.
What's to say he won't use more than just one puppet and better yet would I be able to destroy those puppets?
I tapped the pencil on the table as my thoughts continued to consume me. This is why I hate having to come with strategies because there's always the what-if of something.
"Doesn't he use poison as well?" I asked no one, honestly I don't remember a lot of these ninja weapons or attacks. Hell I only know the basic of them.
I should really study up on those. But I glanced at the side of my room where all the books I've been studying were now towering over my window.
'After I'm not studying those of course.'
"Lady Aki, I've brought some apples for you." Mina said as she placed the plate down next to me.
"Thank you."
I needed some fresh air.

"Sakura!" I shouted as I ran towards her, looks like she planned on buying flowers from the Yamanaka Flowers shop for flowers for Sasuke and Lee.
As we entered the shop smiling, Sakura was quick to lose her smile as she realized that Ino was the one running the shop this morning.
"Oh Sakura you poor thing, it's sad when a girl has to buy flowers for hersef." Ino smirked.
'Here we go again.' I sighed as I looked at some of the flowers.
"I-I'm not! I'm a....not that's it's any of your business. I didn't expect to find you minding the shop." She said kneeled down beside me also looking at the flowers.
But Ino wasn't done with her teasing, far from it.
"Taking a planter to the hospital is like saying you expect the person to be there forever." Ino said. "Some cut flowers might be a better idea."

"Hospital? Whatever do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb with me, you're going there to visit, Sasuke, aren't you?" Ino said.
"Caught red handed." I giggled. "Do you wanna come with us, Ino?"
"Of course I'm going! Hey mom! I'm going out for a bit!"
"H-Hey what are you doing?! And Aki why would you ask her if she wanted to come with us?" Sakura said.
"I mean, she was planning on coming with us one way or another." I told her as I picked up two flowers.
"If you think I'm gonna let you be the first one that Sasuke sees when he wakes up, you are so wrong." Ino smirked.
'Miss Ino-pig always butting in.'
"Are you two done picking out your flowers? I have places to be." I told them as Sakura was hugging the daffodils; she had picked for Sasuke and another one for Lee.
Ino looked at me with a knowing look before I shook my head answering her question. Sakura wasn't aware about what had happened to Lee.

On our way towards the hospital, we heard Chōji eating loudly. Peeking through an open window, they spotted Asuma and Shikamaru, who are seated with Choji.
In exchange for training with Shikamaru everyday, Asuma has been treating Choji to barbeque.
'That looks so good....'
At the hospital, the nurse permitted us only five minutes of visitation due of Sasuke's condition; however, Sasuke and his clothes were missing.

"Sasuke? Sasuke?" The Nurse looked around in shocked before running towards the closet. "All of his clothes are gone."
'He must be heading towards Kakashi right now.' I thought, I hadn't bothered getting him a flower as he wasn't going to be here anyways, but I made sure I got Lee a bouquet of flowers.
It kind of weird as I have no real connection with Lee beside the fact that he's my cousin teammate but that didn't mean I couldn't do something nice on behalf of Neji.
"This is terrible! He's in no condition to be walking around on his own! Doctor! Doctor!" The Nurse shouted as she ran out
"Oh, Sasuke...did he?" Sakura whispered.
It looked like that wasn't the only problem as Lee is also missing from his bed, but unlike Sasuke who complete ran away Lee was spotted outside, performing his push-ups.
"Lee, you shouldn't be out of bed." The Nurse said with a worried look. "Stop it! What do you think you're doing?"
But she was ignored as Lee continued to do his push-up.
"Lee..."
"Keep away from me!" Lee yelled at the Nurse who touched him. "Please, I've got to finish my training."
Sakura recalls Ino telling her that Lee's injuries were severe to the point that he would never be a shinobi again.
Aki and the girls watched as Lee pushed himself to do his push up.
"Do not count me out, I am not through yet." Lee said out of breath. After completing 199 out of 200 push-ups, Lee collapses, but Aki was quickly able to catch him before his body could hit the ground.
She turned him over as the Nurse looked over him before getting up to go some orderlies out here with a stretcher and instructed us to stay here with him.
"We will ma'am." Sakura said as she and Ino sat down next to him.
"Why? Aki, Ino. What is it that makes boys like that." Sakura found herself asking. "They're always pushing things to far."
"What don't ask me? I'm not a boy."
"Right. Sorry."
