Sakura and Ino somehow ended up in the same hiding place; between the roots of a giant tree. Both have been trying to push the other out for the last 12 minutes since the 'training' start.
Ino shoved Sakura, "Get out of here! It's cramped!"
Sakura shoved her back, "You get out! Sasuke will find me and that will prove that he loves me!"
Ino rolled her eyes, still shoving, "No! He will find me and that means he loves me!"
Naruto grumbled from his place on a tree, wondering if they were even taking this seriously. Oh, who was he joking to? Obviously NOT! No wonder Sasuke told him to chase after them. Originally he had wanted to scare the living daylights out of them but then changed his mind and decided to go after the Inuzuka duo instead. This leave Naruto with these two annoying girls.

But somehow after Sasuke's sudden demotion from clan kid to orphan, their obsession with him took a more aggressive turn. Even worse, though they weren't bullying Hinata, they kept giving her problems in hope that Sasuke will find Hinata problematic. Obviously, it went the other way and he decided to keep Hinata beside him in class to keep them away from him. Worse of all, their skills took a steep decline as they focused more on attracting Sasuke over sharpening their vital skills as Shinobi. Sure, they had the basic down and were smart girls but only in Academic things. As a Shinobi though? Well, they pale in comparison to Hinata who honed her skills daily. Sakura was apparently extremely smart but her score in physical parts placed her second to Hinata.
Naruto shudder to think of Sakura in his team. He saw them around sometimes in Konoha taking missions but Sakura seemed to like talking with her fists when she wanted to prove a point. Especially when the other boy was someone she disliked and Naruto was under no delusion that she saw him in any positive light. He had seen her mother and the woman hated him for the death of her husband. This hate had been inherited by Sakura and she would glare at him whenever she saw him in Konoha. Though she was quick to hide her expression when Sasuke looked at her. Even she knew that Sasuke was protective of Naruto, for whatever reason.
So now what?
He found them so what should he do?
He threw a few kunai within inches of their noses and they quickly scrambled out to escape from their cramped hiding hole. He shook his head in disbelief. They were sitting ducks for any hunter looking to take them down.
He decided that an educational trauma was needed...
He landed before the duo and Sakura immediately glared at him with full on hate, "You..."
Ino knew about Sakura's late father and knew that her hate was somewhat justified. Still, she wasn't sure about facing the boy that everyone hated. She didn't know how Naruto kill Sakura's father, though, only that he did. So she took up arms beside her.
Naruto stared at them before sighing, "Pathetic. Did you honestly think you are worth Sasuke's skill? He already head out for better prey,"
Sakura sneered, "Why are you even a Shinobi, you murderer!"
Naruto blinked, hiding his hurt with much practice. He wasn't the murderer. Hinata's word still echoed in his ears; he was just a newborn on a bad day.
She...always saved his heart.
Naruto pulled out his tanto, "Didn't you know? Becoming a Shinobi meant to become a murderer with license. I just...started out early, dattebayo," He lunged at them, slower than he would with his team during sparring.
Ino pushed Sakura aside and met his attack with her kunai. From the strength in her arm, Naruto knew that she was at least trained by her clan. But he quickly shifted and kicked her on the side. But at that moment, sakura petals fluttered all around him. With swift movement, he bit his tongue to use pain to break out of the Genjutsu, catching Sakura's kunai aiming for his head inches from his eye. He grabbed her wrist, too thin for a Kunoichi, and threw her against the tree. Knocking her out.
