Akatsuki's Blossom

Chapter 15: Training and Dinner

Sakura walked towards Konan's room and knocked. "What brought you here, Sakura-chan?" Konan asked as she stepped aside for Sakura to come in.

Sakura came in. "Konan-chan, can you train me?" Sakura said, sitting on Konan's bed. Konan looked at her in shock. "Why? You're already strong, Sakura-chan." Konan said, sitting beside her.

"I feel like I needed to learn a new jutsu Konan-chan." Sakura said. Konan smiled and nodded. "Alright, anything for Sakura-chan! Follow me." Konan said with a smile, standing up.

They made their way towards the training grounds. "All you have to do is to visualize your item and infuse your chakra in it." Konan said, Indian sitting on the ground.

"My item?" Sakura asked in confusion, sitting infront of Konan. Konan nodded and said "Close your eyes and focus your chakra in your eyes."

Sakura did as she was told, soon, cherry blossom petals came falling in her mind. She stopped and open them. "Cherry blossoms." Sakura said.

"Now make cherry blossoms out of chakra."Konan said. Sakura inhaled deeply and tried to mold her chakra into a cherry blossom.

Thirty minutes later, cherry blossom petals came falling down all around them. "You learn fast Sakura-chan." Konan said gleefully. "Now close yoyr eyes and visualize them attacking your opponent, being your wings, or even a cherry blossom clone. You can escape battles when you turn your body and clothes into cherry blossoms, the same thing that I do." Konan said, standing up and stretching her arms.

"That's all for today, come to me when you need help, Sakura-chan!" Konan said with a smile. Soon Sakura was left alone in the training grounds.

Sakura trained and trained until night fell. By the time dinner came, Sakura can make multiple cherry blossom clones and use cherry blossoms as weapons. "S**T! DINNER!" Sakura said, running through the halls towards the kitchen.

Sakura was shocked when she entered the kitchen. "Konan-chan! You can cook?!" Sakura said. Konan turned to Sakura with a smile on her face. "Hai, I never told them though." Konan said, poking out her tongue.

Sakura giggled and said "What? Why? You're so evil, Konan-chan." Konan smiled and said "If I tell them, then that means I'd have to cook for men with bottomless pits for a stomach three times a day. I don't know how you manage. Today's an exception because your are tired from all the training."

"Ooh! Take this apron! They're coming!" Konan said in a hushed tone, handing Sakura the apron. Sakura laughed and took the apron from her, switching places with Konan.

"What's f**king cooking?" Hidan came in with Sasori to see Konan sitting on a stool and Sakura cooking. "What are you cooking blossom?" Sasori asked, peering over Sakura's shoulder. "Miso soup, onigiri and omelette, puppet boy." Sakura said with a smile.

"I'm hungry shrimp. Do you have sake?" Kisame said roaming through the fridge.

"Fishface, you know full well that Kaku doesn't like buying useless things." Sakura said lowering the fire a little. "Got that right." Kakuzu said grumpily coming in the kitchen.

Kisame groaned at this and said "I miss my sake!" Sakura giggled at this, fully closing the stove. "Maybe I'll buy you sake on my next mission fishface." Sakura said. Kisame beamed with happiness at this and hugged Sakura tightly.

"A-air....air...n-n-need..." Sakura said turning purple. "Oi! Fish sticks hands off the blossom, un!" Deidara said, immediately trying to rip off Kisame from Sakura. "WAAH!! BLOSSOM-CHAN IS DYING! TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!" Tobi came in panicking.

"Kisame! Sakura's dying!" Konan said, hitting Kisame at the back of his head. Successfully freeing Sakura.

Kisame pouted and said "Sorry, I was just so happy that blossom would do that for me." Itachi came in. "Hn. I'm ashamed to have you as a partner." Itachi said.

Everyone in the room bursted in laughing at this except for Sasori and Kakuzu who just smirked. Kisame sulks in the corner.

'This is going to be a long night.' Sakura thought, smiling.
