The endeavor was tiring to say the very least but Sakura was able to feel pride surging through her tired body. She hadn't felt such emotion in quite a while. Most of the time she was worrying about something that probably didn't matter that much. Right now though, distractions weren't in front of her, right now she had the ability to fully focus and use that to her advantage. And better yet, she had an actual teacher to help her, he wasn't distracted either and in that sense, she felt some kind of bond forming. Both of them made mistakes, perhaps could have done thing differently but now that didn't matter, the past was where it belonged. When Kakashi mentioned finishing the day with Genjutsu, she wasn't surprised. The day hadn't much time left to offer them so doing something like that, something she was more familiar with, seemed smart. To start things off, she figured scent or sound might be good to start with. Illusions that tackled senses were easy to underestimate and she had shown an affinity towards it early on at the Academy but it wasn't easy to teach one's self since you had to immerse yourself and then combat it and break out of the jutsu itself. That sort of challenge was nearly impossible for just one person to practice. [b]"I think I'd like to start with scent, smell."[/b] She told him. Scents were powerful, they could trigger different responses and memories. The scent of mud, blood, vomit, pine, roses, meat, rain...they all had different reactions for different people. By this point Sakura had finally been able to calm down and feel her own heart rate, as well as heart beat reduce back to normal. She was drained but not yet entirely. There was still energy burning within her. Tonight she would sleep deeply, that was for sure. She was already yearning for a hot bath and her bed. But her mind eventually spun back around to the present. Genjutsu wasn't for everyone. Most people she knew actually, weren't able to break free from it. It was easy to overlook as most wanted to focus on Taujutsu or Ninjutsu. Sakura didn't want to be like them though, she wanted to be ready for anything. If she was going to go further into medicine, she would need to be well rounded. A flock of birds took off from a tree to the east and flew outwards, away from them and the village. Sakura took a deep steadying breath. She shifted a little and could feel the chakra around them shift. It was apparent that whatever the silver nin had planned, was now being executed. The pink haired kunnoichi looked around, making sure to stay alert but also calm. Panicking would only waste chakra and whatever energy she had left inside of her. She inhaled deeply and tried to figured out what sort of mental trickery the other was trying to impose upon her. [i]'This isn't real, the only real thing is myself. Perception is secondary.'[/i] She thought, breathing slowly as she felt a slight chill brush against her shoulders.
