"So Sakura," Sayuri asked her granddaughter absently as she mixed some purple liquid slowly in a vial half filled with yellow one and watched as it's color slowly changed to a murky blue. "You learned anything new during your first C rank?"

"A lot, actually." Sakura hummed under her breath as she read through a book called 'Poisons and it's Brewing, For Dummies (Pt. 1)'. She might be a decent medic but poisons make her head hurt. There were so many different types of poisons that can affect in different ways in different parts of body. Honestly, she'd rather study medicine than the art of poisons. She continued on saying, "I learned that Sasuke has a strange mix of inferiority and superiority complex -and maybe a bit of brother complex and Naruto isn't as much of an idiot as he makes himself out to be. I also learned Bakashi can be creepy -even more creepier than he already is. Oh and did you know that Zabuza is a Tsundere and Haku is a closet shopaholic?"

Sayuri sweat dropped. "I meant what new jutsu you learned Sakura, not what your teammates and acquaintances are up to these days."

"Oh sorry, sorry." Sakura said sheepishly. "Yes, in fact, I did learn a new jutsu."

Sayuri waited for Sakura to elaborate it, but the girl stayed silent. Sayuri stared at her granddaughter and raised a brow. "And...?" She batted her eyelashes innocently and said "Aren't you going to tell your dearest Granny about the new awesome Jutsu you've learned?"

Sakura smiled smugly and said in a teasing tone. "Nuh-uh, bad Granny. A Ninja doesn't reveal their tricks."

Sayuri chuckled. "True, true. Alright then, I'll wait till you reveal your tricks in the upcoming Chunin Exams."

Sakura blinked in confusion. "Chunin Exams?"

Sayuri placed the vials in the holder and then turned to her granddaughter and shot her a quizzical look. "You mean you didn't know? The Chunin Exams are being held in Konoha in two weeks' time."

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"

A few days later, Team Seven were ecstatic for a D ranked mission -since Kakashi promised them that it is a normal one and not one of those suicidal 'unluckies'- but of course, since when do 'normal' and 'Team Seven' goes in the same sentence?

"You said it was a D-rank, dattebayo." Naruto said as a twitch appeared over his blonde brow as he ducked down before he could be mauled.

"Yes, I did." Kakashi-Sensei said in a far more cheerful tone anyone of them would have liked.

"You said it was a normal D-rank mission," Sasuke muttered with a hint of betrayal in his tone and quickly substituted with a log before he becomes minced meat the very next second. "-where we only have to catch some rodents that are wreaking havoc on someone's backyard."

"Yes, I did." Kakashi repeated as he turned a page of that blasted book of his and let out a perverted giggle.

"Then why the hell are we being chased after giant-sized RABBITS -of all the fucking things in this whole damn universe!- who also happen to be CARNIVOROUS!" Sakura screeched in outrage and slammed a chakra enhanced fist into the mega-sized rodent that just won't fucking leave her alone!
