Her drive nearly made her inhuman. They had left behind the food and the upcoming talk of the festival some time ago. With the ninken's harassment continuing, Kakashi Hatake was left in awe. Each time he expected Sakura to collapse from complete muscle failure, she had pressed on without complaint. Every second led to some improvement in her struggle, rendering him unable to take his eyes away from the scene that unfolded. A few yelps here and there from the ninken taking her on, but where he might have expected some scoffs or a collapse no such thing had occurred to her. By the time it was concluded, it was the ninken themselves that had gathered back to Kakashi and appeared winded. A few of them were visibly impressed - others remained skeptical of her true potential and wanted to try their hand at another task. Kakashi gazed out at her gathering water, leaving him with Pakkun and the others. [b]"...So, as I was saying Pakkun. Within a week, she'll be running circles around you."[/b] Kakashi teased. To the chagrin of his ninken, Pakkun chuckled quietly after taking a deep breath. [b]"She never surrendered to us. Perhaps there is hope for her after all. Will you be needing us for another test?" "No, I intend to teach her something else for now, to get her mind ready while her body recovers. Thanks for your assistance, guys."[/b] [b]"Anytime, anytime. Tell her we'll be back, and it won't be so easy next time. Holding back was difficult."[/b] [b]"Holding back, hm?"[/b] Kakashi smiled, knowing very well that in some areas his trained team had resisted using their own variation of ninjutsu on Sakura. That level of competition would be saved for another time. Vanishing in a small puff of smoke, the ninken had left Kakashi just as Sakura had raised her question. [b]"Well, we're going to give you an extended break. It won't do any good if you're stuck in bed tomorrow from overworking yourself."[/b] Kakashi's attention waned, moving skyward.[b] "I told you a long time ago that you had skill in genjutsu; basic deflection served us well when Orochimaru invaded, but I want to help you know how to recognize it and always be ready to counter. Given that I know many types of genjutsu, I can help train you for nearly any type of situation."[/b] Visual. Auditory. Scent. Kakashi had an array of genjutsu fields to tackle Sakura with, and it wouldn't demand much from her body, only her mind. [b]"You're very motivated, so I'll let you decide what type you'd want to practice against, and what level of difficulty you'd like presented. It doesn't really matter since we have enough time to cover each of them, but I thought I'd let you select for yourself. What will it be?" [/b]
