After a certain incident 6 years ago the cheerful Naruko becomes quiet. she prefers to stay alone. she gives up her love for drawing and singing. She admits that the only reason why she wants to live is that of her little brother. She sings and draw...
At the mention of the name SAKURA the deep frown present on the faces of all the girls in the class (except Temari and Tenten) morphed into triumphant smirks. A single thought ran through their minds...
'Humph! There is no way she can survive this match! Well good for her... Sakura will show the Blondie her rightful place in the class.'
The boys who had been previously drooling over the blonde beauty were now sweating profusely... They all had received a lesson from Sakura at least once in their lives... No one had managed to escape her wrath... No one except a certain Uchiha ... Whom she had blatantly refused to fight. With their fingers crossed behind their backs, they sent secret prayers to the kami above. All of them were praying about the same thing...
'Please ...Let Naruko-chan make it through the match alive...'
Temari and Tenten had deep frowns etched over their faces and were exchanging worried glances between each other.
Lee... was desperately trying to convince Gai to go easy on the newbie for her first match.

But before he could rant anymore about how un-youthful this set up was... a cello tape was slapped over his mouth. Successfully shutting him up. When he turned to see the culprit ... the sight before his eyes sent shivers down his spine... for standing behind him was a pissed Neji with a deadly glint in his eyes.

Seems like he had finally snapped. He could not handle any more of his youthfulness and knew that asking Lee to shut up was useless...So he took the matter into his own hands.
Neji was also worried for Naruko. He knew something was up with the girl... and that he along with the other staff members and students of the high school were being kept in dark about some truth of her's by the Principal and Iruka sensei... He didn't know why but he had a feeling that there was nothing to be worried about the mysterious blonde's safety... He didn't know that how right he was...
Shikamaru, on the other hand, was going over the situation in his mind. All the match pairings were decided by the gym teacher but before they could be finalized they had to be approved by both the Principal and the homeroom teacher. Gai had previously tried to make the new students fight with the strong ones but his suggestions had always been rejected... so why was it accepted now? The very acceptance of the pairing meant that both the Principal and the homeroom sensei had enough faith in the blonde girl's fighting ability...
