Note: Genma vs. Sakura except I'm not great at writing fight scenes so it is what it is. Information in the end note, which is long as heck, bold brings attention to important stuff if you want to skim, but please at least look at it.

In hindsight, it was probably something they should have thought more about. The fact that they chose the Uchiha land, rather than some random training ground, was their first mistake. The second was not setting up a barrier to make sure that the grounds didn't get too torn up. The third, and most important mistake they made, was forgetting to check that the forest was clear before they started. It began like this.
"And you're sure this is fine?"
"Yeah!" Sakura replied, going through some warm up stretches. "No one really trains at this time in the day, and if they did, we'd hear them coming before they got too close anyway."
"You're sure?" He said, pulling her to her feet.
She nodded, and he took the moment to jump into the trees away from her.
He made a clone and masked his chakra, sending his clone in the opposite direction in hopes of distracting the girl. When Sakura didn't immediately come after him, he wanted to celebrate. She was scary during a fight, he couldn't deny that, not after he heard about what happened in her fight against shisui. She had a complete disregard for herself, so her actions were unpredictable.
A flash of panic hit him when his clone was disbursed, the memories of a paper bomb tagged kunai flooding his mind. She was coming for him.

It felt so good to be able to fight like this again, without worrying about accidentally hurting one of her classmates, or Shisui, who, good as he was, was still a child. She wouldn't be able to handle that, harming a kid, mentally. But Genma? Genma was an adult, and because of that, he was fair game for as many attacks as she could land on him.
Which, she thought to herself as she neareed his hiding place in the trees, was going to be a lot.

"Oops?" She tried, but he wasn't having any of it.
"Don't 'oops' me! Do you know how bad this could be for us?" He shot back. "If she goes and tells someone, that's it. Both of us under observation."
Sakura glanced back to Mkoto, who was standing a few yards away, arms crossed in displeasure as she watched their conversation. "I don't think she's going to tell anyone."
"Sakura, are you stupid? She just saw a jonin of the village fighting a child."
"Yes, but-"
"No, 'yes, but'. It makes things even worse that your the Uchiha ward, because she has every right to-"
"She can't tell anyone, Genma. Look at what she's wearing."
She was wearing Konoha standard ninja wear, which wasn't so uncommon in Konoha, except Mikoto had been off the active duty roster for at least 7 years prior. She hadn't so much as taken up a blade in that time.
"Wait, so you mean-"
"I can't tell anyone because I shouldn't be here." Mikoto finished, obviously tired of just listening in to the conversation. "But that doesn't stop me from giving you two and earful. Honestly, what were you two thinking?!"
Sakura winced, and Genma tilted his head down in shame. He was a jonin for Kami's sake. What was he thinking?
"That's right. You weren't. Because if you were you'd remember that you aren't the only shinobi in Konohagakure."
Sakura winced. Mikoto did have a point. She needed to stop running around like she couldn't get caught for things.
"You especially!" She pointed her finger at Genma. "You are an adult. One with a lot of high level skills who has no reason to be starting fights with children."
"Uh, Mikoto? I uh, I actually started the fight." Mikoto glanced down at the pink haired girl and sighed. She steadied herself before looking back at Genma.
"In any case. You need to be more aware of your surroundings. Don't be late for dinner, Sakura."
"Yes ma'am."
Genma swears he overheard Mikoto say, "Honestly I leave you alone for one day," but Sakura denies that she heard it too, despite being closer to Mikoto. (She totally did.)

I answer questions, this time from ff net:
ItaSaku99 Said:
Author san can you clarify some things for me which got me confused in the story... First at what age Sakura and Itachi graduated from academy? If I remember correctly then in canon Itachi graduated at 7 yrs of age, so is it same or you have changed... Secondly if they have graduated at 7 and also Sasuke is born does that mean Naruto is born too and the Kyubi attack happened? I am a bit confused on these two things... Hope you can make it clear for me...
Okay so, first off, I've been using this one naruto timeline for my fics, because I'm far too lazy to go back and search everything up when I plan, and according to it, "Itachi Uchiha (6) passes the graduation exam and it is decided that he becomes Genin after only one year." (Itachi Shinden: Book of Bright Light). So in this fic, Itachi and Sakura both graduate at 6 (super young big yikes). Secondly, Yes! The kyuubi attack happened and Naruto was born. He should be just over a year old to about two at this point in the story, he is around three months younger than Sasuke. We'll see more of him super later in the book for plot reasons that I sadly can't spill (you can guess though, I love it when y'all interact with the fic!) Hope this clears up any confusion!
In response to Blu3b3rryT3a's "Perhaps she can screw up Danzo's plot if she get's enough pieces together." :-D (i'm good, thanks for asking!)
