"Youth!" Gai and Rock Lee yelled as they race through the whole village for the nth time passing the struggling Sakura, heavily panting Tenten and sweat drench Neji.

"I..can't..believe..them" Sakura said between pants besides Tenten whose wearing much heaver weights than her.

"You'll..get..used..to..it" Said Tenten before wiping her sweat off her face.

"Hn" Neji mumbled as he passed by the two making Sakura flinch involuntary for the syllable he just uttered by.

Sakura stared at Neji's back who is gaining speed ahead of them as if she can't him see him as him but a certain someone with a different colored hair and clothes.

"Sakura-san?" Tenten called as she too gain a little distance from the struggling kunoichi waking Sakura from her daze.

"Hai!" She said as she too speed up a little.

"Are you okay Sakura-san?" Tenten asked at the teen who is sprawl on her back on the ground exhausted.

"Let..me.. catch..my breath ..first" Sakura panted as she tried to sit up again.

"Don't worry Sakura-san, we're like that too when we started training under Gai-sensei too" Tenten said smiling at her trying to encourage the other teen.

"Even Lee-san?" Sakura asked as she looked at the teen who is doing one hand push ups on the other side of the field.

"Well you can say that" Tenten said as she too gazed at the said boy.

"Let's get back to training shall we?" She said in addition before offering Sakura her hand to help her stand up.

"Yes, of course"

    By the time the training that team Gai conducted is finished Sakura felt that she can not walk anymore at the same time she felt as if she done something gone in her training for the first time. So she waved good by to all of them before making her way towards home, thinking what else she can do to her free time.

"Tadaima!" Sakura yelled as soon as she entered the large house by the edge of the merchant district.

"Okaerinasai" Someone replied making Sakura jump before she turned around and wiping out a kunai from her holder.

"Oh my..Is that how you greet your grandfather?" A voiced asked from the shadows of the living room.

"Sofu-sama what are you doing here?Someone might seen you!It's not safe!" Sakura hissed at the person whose reclining on a chair within the shadows tucking away the kunai while she at it.

"I still think that you should have gone with us" Another voice replied.

"I-Sofu-sama, Nii-san you both know that I can't, I love it here." Sakura said looking at the two figures.

"Your mother would want you safe" Her grandfather said standing up form his previous position.

"Sofu-sama I can manage here, besides how can we visit mother and father if I go with you?" Sakura reason as she walked towards the first person hugging them tightly.

"It's not like it's difficult to get in anyway"said the second voice making Sakura glare at them.

"Now what is this I heard that you took an idiot for a sensei?" Her grandfather asked looking down at her disapprovingly.

"It's not like my previous one attend to me or anything anyway" Sakura mumbled as she move away to sit opposite of her grandfather.

"Ah remind me to poison that one" was the reply she get.

"Grandfather!" Sakura exclaimed looking alarmed at the threat which made her grandfather wave his hand making his ring glint.

"Now now while I'm here why don't we discuss your future shall we?" Her grandfather said smiling wickedly at her.

"Should I be concern?" Sakura said squinting her eyes at him making her looked like her mother in her grandfathers eyes.

"No, I heard that you easily sense genjutsu?" Her grandfather said sensing interest in Sakura he continue

"I suggest you approach Yuhi Kurenai and for trapping and other skills why not go to my previous student"

"Your previous student grandfather?" Sakura asked curiously as this is the first time she heard that her grandfather become a sensei.

"Mitarashi Anko" the second voice said as he poured some tea for the two people next to him before standing straight again.

"Thank you..Are you sure about that grandfather?" Sakura asking looking doubtful at her grandfather.

"Of course" he said before sipping some tea hiding his wicked smile.

A week later a loud scream was heard inside the forbidden forest where the previous chunin exam was conducted followed by a maniac laughter echoed through out.
