Sakura cursed under her breath as she jogged up the stairs.

She didn't know that a patient on strong anesthesia could take that much time to calm down.

She stopped in front of a hospital room and steadied her breathing, she cleared her throat and raised her fist to knock on the door.

"-And it's really cool, dattebayo!"

Sakura's ear twitched. Who the hell would that idiot be talking to? And who in their right mind would visit that moron so early in the morning?

Shaking her head, she knocked on the door.

"Oh, that must be Sakura-chan! Come in, Sakura-chan!"

Opening the door, she inspected the area while saying with a laugh "You're up early, Naruto. Oh, Hinata! What are you doing here so early?"

"O-Oh, um..." Hinata stuttered out as she blushed, sitting on a chair beside Naruto's bed, Naruto grinned and said "Guess what?! Hinata's kind enough to bring me real food! She cooked it for me, and it's super duper yummy, dattebayo!"

Sakura's mind then started wandering on its own, imagining how he could have eaten it.

She could imagine Hinata feeding him so sweetly as Naruto eagerly eats it whole heartedly.

Naruto and Hinata looked at each other with a shrug as Sakura chuckled behind her clipboard, giggling like Kakashi behind his Icha-Icha Paradise.

Then something clicked.

"Hinata, I just remembered" Sakura said with a mischievous smile "You're practicing to become a medical ninja, right?"

"A-Ah, not exactly" Hinata politely shook her head "I-I just learned the mystical palm for emergencies, is all"

"Well-" "Sakura! Think, quick!" "It isn't enough that you know only the mystical palm" Sakura raised a finger while she placed her other hand on her waist "You should at least know how to perform a check up"

Hinata looked up and wondered as she pressed a finger on her bottom lip, "I guess she is right"

Sakura grinned and clapped her hands together "Alright! That's it, I'm teaching you, Hinata!"

"Ah, thank you, Sakura-san. If it's no trouble" Hinata said while she gave the pinkette one of her cute smiles, Sakura nodded and said "No problem, Hinata! Let's start now!"

"N-Now?!" "Yep!" Sakura nodded again, then pointed at Naruto "Naruto, take off your shirt!"

"W-W-What?!" Hinata gasped, Naruto closed his eyes in confusion as he scratched the back of his head "Ehh?? But I don't remember having to take off anything during my daily check ups, Sakura-chan..."

"Well..." Sakura said "I forgot to bring my statiscope with me, is all, so, Hinata, I'll teach you how to check vitals manually, okay?"

"B-But isn't that you're statiscope on your neck?" Hinata asked, beet red and extremely nervous, Sakura flinched and then waved a hand dismissively "This?! No no no. This one's, uh.. Broken! Yeah! I got it switched up with my new one"

"Alright then!" Naruto said as he skillfully removed his top over his head with only one hand and then grinned at Hinata "No point of waiting around, gotta help Hinata with her training!"

Hinata let out a squeak as she jumped out of her chair and hid behind Sakura, avoiding looking at the shirtless man.

"Now, now, Hinata" Sakura said as she squatted down and slung Hinata over her shoulder and placed her down in front of Naruto "No need to be shy! It's just Naruto!"
