        "All right, your goal is to make it to the top of a tree." Kakashi points up at the tall trees around you, Naruto shields his eyes from the sun in exaggeration. 

        "Hey Naruto, I bet you can't climb the tree without your hands." You tease, you had finally figured it out earlier in the morning. You had made it out alive despite the damages to the tree, luckily that was further away and no one saw that. 

        "That's impossible!" 

        "It's not if you're Kim Possible." 

        "Who is Kim Possible?" 

        "I'll tell you if you beat me up the tree." You promise, he pouts with an all-knowing attitude.

        "Yeah right, you can't fool me. That's impossible, right sensei?"

        "No, actually she knows what she's talking about." 

        "How...?"

        "I'm psychic and I can tell you right now you won't make it up on the first try." You pat his head, grinning at the two boys. "Neither will Sasuke." 

        "Wanna bet? I'll beat both you and Naruto to the top, then you'll tell me your secret." Sasuke says confidently. 

        "Deal, teach away sensei." 

        "I could have stayed in bed...." Kakashi muttered, realizing you could have taught them just fine without his presence. "Anyways, as she said, you're going to learn how to climb a tree without your hands. You'll do this by using chakra to stick to the tree."

        "Stick to the tree?" Naruto asked, narrowing his eyes.

        "Like glue." 

        "But glue takes a long time to dry Sakura." 

        "Okay, like super glue. Or hot glue." You start naming glues that dry faster than the well known white messy stuff. "Or you could just put flubber on your shoes and bounce up there but that's not the point. The point of this exercise is to teach you chakra control. If you apply too much chakra you'll damage the tree, if you don't apply enough you won't stick." 

        "So that's what you were doing...."

        "No time for silliness Ducky, put those fingers together and climb them trees. Climb them like they're the only thing between you and a field of ripe tomatoes." 

        "If it was the only thing between me and a field of ripe tomatoes I'd just walk around it...."

        "....There is no place for your logic on the battlefield, just climb the tree." 

        "But you haven't even shown us how to do it Sakura!" Naruto argued, he was constantly taking Sasuke's side. 

        "Right, I forgot that on the battlefield people stop and teach you their jutsus. Because what else would they do? Kill people?" 

        "Why don't you do some training while I teach them how to climb the tree?" Kakashi guided you away to a small corner of the clearing. "Now boys, watch me." 

        "Why don't you train Sakura? Why don't you throw stupid knives at a stupid tree while the men work?" You whine, chucking kunai at a tree.

        "You think I'm a man Sakura?" Naruto calls out to you, apparently you were distracting him.

        "Naruto, focus!" Kakashi groans, Sasuke looked up and down a tree in the background. 

        "I can climb this, I'm ready when you are Sakura." The Uchiha decides, leaning against a tree as he waits for you.

        "Whenever Naruto is ready-"

        "I'm ready Sakura, I'm always ready. I was born ready!" 

        "Of course you were. Let's do this!" You each pick a tree to climb, looking toward Kakashi for a signal.         

        "Ugh, just climb the tree." Kakashi hobbles away, back to Tazuna's house. "I'm going to retire...." 

        "Okay, well that was our 'go' sign." You say, forming the handsign and running at the tree. 

        "No fair!" Naruto yells, having been the last to make a move. While Sasuke made it a few steps up the tree before it splintered under his feet, Naruto just fell straight onto his back. The blonde laid there, looking up at you as you take a seat on a high branch.

        "I believe I win~" You taunt, Sasuke was already trying again. 

        "Yeah well, your tree is shorter!" 

        "No it's not Naruto, yours is shorter. Mines a mountain compared to yours," you laugh until you look over at his tree. It was indeed taller than yours, "well.... it just looks taller from down there."

        "Help me Sakura, if I can't beat you then I have to beat him!" Naruto points at Sasuke, who just started off again. 

        "Oh, good luck with that. I have to throw knives at a tree, unless you want to trade information?" You jump down from the tree. "Ow, my foot. Naruto, I'm dying."

        "Sakura, you jumped out a window earlier this week. It was probably higher than that."

        "Truth be told Naruto, I'm not a bird."

        "I didn't say you were a bird-"

        "Naruto, please let me finish." He stares expectantly at you, even Sasuke stopped his tree hugging to listen. "Alright, I'm done."
