[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

It was about three in the morning when Sakura woke up as she got out of bed, she starts packing up the necessary things to bring, like kunais, shurikens, katanas, daggers and glue, candy wrappers, sparkles and bananas. As Sakura eats a quick apple and pear, she starts off in the path to bring her to training field. After setting up traps in different locations, so she can use, she plans out a strategy to help her to get a bell. Rolling around the time, Sakura waits until her teammates came by and waits for their late sensei. Seeing Sasuke walking along with his pack already. She nods to him and then glares at his head.

"Do you have a glaring problem with me?" Sasuke asks looking at her and was a little close for comfort.

"Yes and no. And you'll never find out." Sakura replies as she saw Naruto. "Hey Naruto!"

"Good morning, Sakura-chan and Sasuke-teme." Naruto shot at them. "Oh hey, Sakura what did you say last night before you went home about this test?"

"It's about teamwork, that's all." Sakura replies.

"You two will slow me down, so you're on your own." Sasuke replies as he sits down and meditates.

"Hey Teme, sorry Sakura-chan but I kind of agree with Teme here." Naruto replies. "But I mean that he'll slow me down, you on the other hand. Just sit out and don't worry."

Sakura looks at him and forcedly smile at him and thought."Cha, you bakes, I'm stronger than you now. Don't get mad, Sakura breath in and out." As they waits for Kakashi-sensei to arrive to was hours later until a loud pop with smoke appeared in front of them.

"Oh sorry, you see a black cat crossed my path and I had to take the long way around." Kakashi exclaims.

"You're late!" Naruto and Sakura yell at him.

She already knew that he would be late, then again he was always late in her time. Though she did miss the whole ritual of yelling at him with Naruto every time he was late. Kakashi took out an alarm clock and placed it on a tree stump. "Let's get started. The alarm clock is set for noon. All you have to do is take these bells from me." Kakashi explains as he held up two small bells.

"If you can't get them by noon," He continues, "You'll go without lunch. You'll be tied to those posts and watch while I eat in front of you."

Good thing I ate an apple, Sakura smiles to herself.

"Now if you're not prepared to kill me, you won't be able to take the bells."

"You can't even dodge the blackboard eraser, sensei!" Naruto laughs.

"In the real world, those with the least talent bark the loudest. Losers, dead last."

"Okay" he continues, "Start when I say…" Naruto was beyond mad; he was enraged, but he did a unthinkable thing, He whipped out a kunai from his holster and raced towards Kakashi with a killing instinct. Just as he was closing in on Kakashi, he disappeared from sight and reappeared behind Naruto holding Naruto's arm with the kunai at the back of his head. Naruto was amazed at Kakashi's speed; while Sasuke was looking at him, thinking, "So he is a jounin." While Sakura smirked at her sensei but quickly covered it with a shocked look. Soon he let go of Naruto's arm and stepped back." I haven't said go yet. You came at me with killing instinct; it seems that I like you guys a bit more." Kakashi said. "Ready, Set, Go!" As the group disappears from his sight the instant he gave the signal, hiding from his view.

Sasuke hid in a tree over-looking a clearing, while Sakura hid under some bushes, looked around to find Kakashi, and was thinking, "Great, I put the holes too far away from here. But I look like I need to use my strength in this battle, only if I could get Naruto and Uchiha to work with me."

Kakashi stood there. "The basics of being a ninja are erasing your presence and hiding yourself well."

" Good they're all concealed well". He thought.

"Hey you!" Naruto shouts standing in front of Kakashi.

"You know, compared to the other two, you're a little weird," Kakashi says.

"The only thing weird here is your haircut!" Naruto says running at him but stopped when Kakashi put his hand in his pack.

"Ninja fighting lesson number one, taijutsu." Kakashi replies.

'Taijutsu is hand-hand combat! But why is he reaching for a weapon.' Naruto thought, only to see him snap out an orange book with a circle in the middle with a big cross through it. Naruto's face had a look of shocked but he quickly recovered.

"Hey, why are you reading that book?" Naruto asks while he was yelling too.

"Why? Because to see what happens next," Kakashi replies." Don't worry with your attacks. They won't hurt me." Naruto charges at Kakashi trying to get a bell from him.

Sakura reacts instantly as she looked for an opening, and once she spotted it, she raced out at an inhuman speed towards him. "Yo, Kakashi-sensei over here," Sakura replies as she casts a genjutsu on him but fails. "Good." She says as she punches the ground, creating a large hole in it.

"Sakura-chan, wow." Naruto replies with his eyes almost popping out.

Sasuke looks impressing but didn't show his expressions openly. Kakashi looks at her with suspicion but thinking." Astonishing! Her potency, it reminds me of…one of the legendary sannin… Tsunade-sama!

"Sakura, you are strong but not strong enough to beat me." Kakashi replies.

"Oh really?" Sakura says as she did some hand seal then her hands began to glow light pink.

"What, how? Can I actually see the chakra in her hands? How is she doing that? No genin should be capable of this kind of attack, that's for sure" . Kakashi thought. "Better make a replacement jutsu."

While she notices that the real Kakashi was gone but left a replacement one, smirking at that, she threw one kunai at him and with a puff of smoke he was gone. "Come on, sensei you can do better than that." Sakura says, lifting her hands into the air and twists some winds in around her hands and throws it at the trees where Kakashi was. When Naruto and Sasuke looked at her, and then make a counter attack on Kakashi when he jumps out of his hiding spot. He dodges out of the way of Naruto kicks, sending him flying to a tree trap caught him and hanging him upside down. As Sasuke came up he used his grand fireball technique and tried to burn him. As Kakashi used an earth technique and sent Sasuke into the ground and walked away from him reading his orange book again. Sakura walked up to Sasuke and smiled at him. "So you need help yet?" Sakura asks in a bored tone, looking at Sasuke's head.

"No, I don't need your help, you're just weak."Sasuke replies struggling out of the ground, when he feels a dangerous aura in front of him. Looking up to see Sakura looking very enrage, he smirks at her. "So, Sakura..." as he started to roll her name off his tongue but stops when Sakura came and pulls him out of the ground and kicks him into the air.

"Great, now to get Naruto out." Sakura states smiling to her as she walks over to Naruto hanging body.

As Kakashi watched her from the tress above them and thinking", So she is very strong, and her capabilities are higher than a Genin, may even surpass Chunin level and I get that that wasn't even her full power. Better keep a close eye on her."

Meanwhile...

Sasuke got up and looks around the area. "Okay, she's strong," as he got back up and walks back the way he came but as he steps on a trap, it drops him in blue glue and sparkles. ""She did this before we came," thought Sasuke as he climb out

"Maybe we could have helped her", says inner Sasuke.

"You are insane; I'll be dying before I help her." Sasuke says back into his mind, as he continues to walk back but had fallen back in another hole with candy wrappers, bananas, and white glue again.

"SAKURA!"Sasuke shouts climbing out already. As he had a killer aura around him as he just disappeared from the holes and back to team seven. Once he was there, he looks at the ground to see a larger, huge crater with Kakashi inside of it and Naruto hanging from a tree. Sakura looks at him and smiles at him then bursts into laughter.

"Great job, Sasuke but those traps were for Kakashi-sensei." Sakura replies still laughing.

Author's Notes:- I hope you really enjoyed this chapter.

Sakura's wind attack is from her hand controlling her chakra and wrapping the wind around her hands.

It really does have a named yet. But there is more new jutsus that she has.
