And I oop-. ( Naruto! Various & Modern! reader ) ( EDITING)

Rivalry!!

" Hey, Ino.... Why did you give me this ribbon? "  Sakura looked at her best friend, a blush of embarrassment dusted her cheeks

Ino just smiled as she looked at the flower in her hand " Hehe... That's because I thought it would be a waste if you ended as a bud. A flower is meaningless unless it blossoms, right ? And it could grow into .... A flower more beautiful than a Cosmos. "

Sakura's lips trembled, tears threating to spill ' Thank you Ino-chan....'

" Let's hurry up and get the flowers, Sakura "

" Yeah...."

" Huh? Sakura, what wrong? "

" Oh... When I fell earlier.. I got sand in my eye... " Sakura mumbled the obvious lie.

The two sprinted towards eachother. Sakura was the first to react, flipping herself behind Ino and sending the latter away with a punch. Ino stumbled but regained her balance, however she wasn't allowed to attack.

" You know, since you punch alot... Maybe we should involve a martial art in this..." [Name] mumbled, hand stroking their chin.

Sakura huffed below, pushing herself back up with them on her back. She let out a groan at the thought.

[Name] began swinging with their hands " Ooh~ boxing sounds good... Muay Thai too... A mix of the both"

" B-boxing??? Muay Thai???" Sakura let out a tired groan,  slowly continuing to do push ups.

" Sakura, do you think before attacking your opponent? Like not throwing unnecessary blows?? "

" Who doesn't??" Sakura puffed in exhaust" Sometimes, I guess... "

" A slugger, swarmer, a out-boxer or a boxer-puncher..." [Name] hummed in thought

" What's the difference??"

" A slugger and a boxer-puncher is Sara... Brutal and unpredictable. Being able to hit you at any angel. Powerful punches... Defensive masters... You're short... So a swarmer? Want me to pass this thought to Sara-sensei?"

" Will it help me??"

" It will... I hope. " [Name] jumped from Sakura " Still we need Sara to confirm this. If she doesn't then I'll try to train you. "

Sakura laid on the ground like a fish, legs aching.

-

" Martial arts? Why? " Sara hung the towel around the punching bag. She sat down, looking at the duo.

" It will be of help to Sakura!" [Name] looked at Sara like she grew two heads. The latter flicked their head, ignoring their whining as she turned towards Sakura.

" Did they give ya any ideas?"

" You're agreeing to it?!" The duo beamed in excitement.

" It's my only chance to fight ya punks."

" Namely punching ones, I guess. Maybe involve a few other techniques too." Sakura mumbled.

Sara smirked " Oh I have an idea for that.  Ya can back out now."

" Never!! I came here to get stronger and I won't back down!"

" Hehehe, ya punks..."

-

" Gah!! This is torture!! It hurts!!"  Sakura  collapsed on one of the mats, on her limbs and stomach were chains and weights.
