Uzumaki Naruto-baka!

Sakura was crouched in a tree overlooking the Uchiha clan compound, a book in hand. She had seen Naruto jump from walls to walls in his escapes from authority after doing stupid things like paint the Hokage Monument. No idea where he learned to do that, but if that idiot could do it, she could too, but better. And just to make absolutely sure she was better than the dead last of the class, she read the next chapter of the book and learned to tree-walk. She performed BOTH techniques perfectly on her first try, but that could be attributed to being right beside her crush's home and having a valid use of the technique.

Setting aside the library textbook on "Chakra Jumping and Climbing," (her nerdiness had rapidly increased ever since getting glasses,) Sakura made a ram seal and chakra ran to her eye-wear to amplify her vision.

She read at least a hundred red flames scurrying about, and pouted.

At this rate, how was she going to get inside?

She needed to have an advantage over Ino-pig and everyone else. She'd win Sasuke's affections if she knew what his family was like or anything else about him.

But she can't just waltz in when she didn't know any Uchiha, and the ones her age were impossible to just simply befriend, hence why she was here.

Suddenly, a pail of slugs was thrust from above into her neck. That slimey goo went inside her red dress and slicked down her back.

Sakura screamed.

A high pitched prepubescent voice screamed with her and a clump of orange and yellow crashed from the same direction onto her body.

So yeah, two "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Then,

"NARUUTO YOU DUMBASS!" PUNCH.

After that was over with, Sakura pulled the back of her dress up and demanded Naruto remove the slugs noming on the skin of her spine.

Naruto hastily obeyed, too ashamed to feel pride that Sakura trusted him enough to showing him her bare back. He made sure to place the slugs back in the bucket.

It was obvious he was pulling another prank, and on her future boyfriend nonetheless. She paused, debating whether to yell a tirade at the orange roach or, well... "Naruto, what were you planning to do with those slugs?"

He looked ashamed, but he wasn't going to lie. "Was gonna put them in their wife's beds 'cuz they all married." He frowned thoughtfully. "Why are you here, Sakura-chan?"

Sakura crossed her arms sternly. Well, at least he wasn't pranking Sasuke. The thought that the prank extended to Sasuke's mother never occurred to her. "I was trying to get inside," Sakura answered without giving her real reason. She bit her lip. "Naruto, you're good at this, so you know how to get in, right?"

She blinked at Naruto's paralyzed form and reached to poke him to confirm if time really froze. But, he jumped. "YATTA! Call me Naruto-senpai and I'll teach ya ALL my best escape tricks ever!"

Sakura grunted begrudgingly. "Naruto-senpai. Now show me."

So he did.

In return, she taught him tree-walking. Because contrary to popular belief, Sakura had morals of her own.
