An Actual C-rank Mission

Two weeks passed since the Wave mission and our favourite pink haired kunoichi was making her way to the Yamanaka flower shop. Shortly after team 7 crossed The Great Naruto Bridge, Sakura collapsed of exhaustion, so her teammates carried her until they reached Konoha. She remembers Naruto's worried face hovering above her and Sasuke standing near the window, looking quite relieved himself. Kakashi was standing in a chair near her bed, reading of course...

Sakura entered the flower shop and saw Ino behind the counter, reading a magazine. The blonde put the magazine down once she noticed her enter.

"Forehead! What brings you here?" asked Ino.

"Nice to see you too, pig...And I just wanted to talk to you, it feels like we haven't seen each other since forever." said Sakura.

"Well we have been busy with a lot of D-rank missions...uhh, I swear if I have to water any more gardens I'll go nuts!" said the blonde.

"You tell me...If I have to see Madam Shijimi's ugly cat again, I'll kill someone." said the pinkette.

"Oh, shut it forehead! You already got a C-rank mission, so you can't really complain."

"Yeah...A C-rank that turned A-rank, how wonderful..."

"Oh, about that...How did it become A-rank, anyway?"

Sakura grinned and told her best friend all about her mission, Zabuza and Haku, and how she nearly avoided death. The blonde had been shocked to hear what her friend has been through, but quickly regained herself. The 2 of them started chatting about flower arrangements, movies, stupid D-rank missions, again, boys, fashion and cosmetics. Time seemed to pass fast as the girls kept on talking. Sadly the 2 of them had to stop when and elderly man asked for a bouquet of roses. Ino quickly hooked up the bouquet, but stung herself in one of the thorns.

"Here, let me help." said Sakura as her hand started glowing green.

"That has to be the most amazing thing I've seen you do, Sakura." said Ino while the pinkette grinned.

"You know, I can teach you if you want..." said Sakura.

"R-really?" exclaimed Ino.

Sakura nodded and started explaining the basics and how to convey lethal chakra into healing chakra. While Sakura explained Ino took notes on a small notepad. After a while, Ino's mom came to take her daughter's place at the flower shop and the girls left to the streets of Konoha. They eventually entered a park and Sakura started looking into bushes and near trees like she lost something.

"What are you doing forehead?" asked the blonde.

"Looking for a test subject..." said Sakura.

" A what?"

"A test subject. What? You didn't expect me to be your training dummy, now did you?" Sakura laughed when she saw Ino's embarrassed face. After looking around the park for a bit she found what she was looking for.

"Aha! Here you go pig, this is you little training dummy!" She motioned to a crow with a broken wing, laying near a tree.

"I'm not touching that!" said Ino.

"Yes you are if you want to learn medical ninjutsu..." said Sakura. Ino grumbled a few insults, but went to the crow nonetheless. After a few tries and curses, Ino managed to convey the chakra and started healing the bird. She grinned to herself when she saw it fly away.

"Good job pig, you just made the first step in the path of a medical ninja! Keep this up and you'll eventually be able to heal a human."

"Thanks forehead do you think you can borrow me some of you books?"
