Sakura dragged the back of her dirty glove across her forehead and blew back a few locks of hair. She smiled toothily at the mess in front of her. Plumes of dust clouded the training field…or what used to be the training field. But she could still hear Tsunade’s praise from far beyond the wreckage. […]
