Combat

Tamako huffed, twisting her body and moving her muscles to the ultimate maximum degree while midair. She took advantage of each and every crystal platform, using them as a springboard to dodge, sometimes as a shield, but they were quickly destroyed with a single punch.

She barely dodged an incoming punch that was laced with chakra, completely desecrating the ground where she momentarily landed for the first time in several minutes.

"Sasori no Danna," She started, taking a page out of Deidara before flinging herself into the air and landing softly on another floating platform she conjured. "This will be much more difficult than I initially reckoned." Her voice wavered, glancing at Sasori who's Hiruko was already smashed into bits. His red-hair danced at every moment, dodging each strike and using a few puppets as meat shields.

Sasori growled, "Girl, if you don't take out the other one, I must just kill the both of you.!" Then he deflected Chiyo's puppets with his own, knocking back a palm forward that released kaaton.

Sakura, the one who's supposedly the one she wouldn't have to watch out for just by judging by her performance beforehand, was just getting started. Her repertoire was much larger than just chakra-enhanced strength, the pinkette was also throwing out a few doton and suiton, which Tamako couldn't understand quite yet. Wasn't this girl still funneling her chakra into her Byakugō seal?

If this girl was only using half her usual chakra-reserve, she really didn't want to find out she was at full strength. It's been awhile since she's fought canon, but after sparing a few glances at Sasori who seemed equally frustrated, she coughed it up to her own interference.

Was it because she introduced the girl to teachers that would give her the time of day? Did she stay in contact with Kakashi and she absorbed a bit of his one-thousand jutsu repertoire? Was this the work of Genma? Every time Tamako sent out an attack, the girl easily dodged. Her reflexes were top notch and paired with Chiyo's experience on the field, she couldn't land a single solid hit. Sure, there were a few scratches and the like, but she was no Sasori, she had no poison.

She raised her forearms into a cross, creating a shield just barely in time to block an incoming fist. The impact sent the periwinkle hair skidding back several feet, her arms badly bruised. She should probably take this seriously now. She wiped her forehead, non discretely biting into a chakra pill.

"Observe" She whispered.

Haruno Sakura

Level: 320

Age: 15

Class: Battle Medic (Apprentice of the Slug Princess +20% STR)

HP: 25,750

CP: 17,760

A Konoha Kunoichi who specializes in Taijutsu and Medical jutsu. Don't let her appearance trick you, she's able to knock down a mountain with a single punch and heal otherwise fatal injuries. As the apprentice of the Slug Princess, she has excellent chakra control and her strength is something to fear.

Due to [The Gamers] interference with the training of Haruno Sakura, she has experienced the teachings of several. Her strength, stamina and dexterity being her stronger stats in comparison to her canon counterpart. Paired with a broader understanding of both ninjutsu and medical ninjutsu, she has a countdown of [90 days] until releasing the Byakugō seal.

She is well liked by her peers and villagers.

Oh great. She's nearly at the level of her Fourth Shinobi War counterpart. If just training her basics months before her apprenticeship with the Slug Princess impacted her this much, Tamako wondered how far Sasuke had reached. She hasn't seen the boy in almost a year, and he had nearly mastered his chidori chokutō by then. What other shenanigans did she create?
