Inner Sakura

It was finally time.

Naruto and Sakura threw on a background illusion super jutsu over their bodies (In other words they grabbed a blanket that matched the same as the walls and covered their figure before sneaking in.)

Not a single alarm was raised.

After going ten streets past the gate guards who turned away any non-Uchiha, they blended into the crowd of rowdy non-shinobi Uchiha among a few languid off-duty Uchiha Military Police.

Sakura turned to Naruto and hissed, "We should split up."

Naruto looked desperate and whispered loudly, "Don't worry, I won't get you in trouble-"

"Because I'll be at Sasuke-kun's house— to investigate." She cursed herself for adding the honorific.

"Listen, we both have challenging goals of our own. You want to prank the police. I want Sasukekun's love." She placed her hands on her hips. But Naruto seemed to have lost his vigor for the prank, and looked even more crestfallen after she said that.

Sakura had to admit she couldn't have gotten in without his help. Sighing, she decided to sugarcoat it a bit, unable to believe her own words."Naruto, let's team up."

At Naruto's hopeful look, Sakura rolled her eyes, explaining. "You help me win Sasuke over, I bail you out of trouble whenever you get caught, AND help you with your pranks—But only when I feel like it."

"YATTA!"

"Shh, you'll blow our cover, idiot!"

"Ok!" Naruto whispered loudly.

Sakura resisted the urge to facepalm. "Now go do your own thing—I should be stopping you but you helped me and I have my own goals to worry about," and with that, Sakura vanished in the crowd.

And so did Naruto.

Sakura was glancing left and right and finally slapped her palm to her forehead. "Dammit! I don't even know where Sasuke-kun lives! Now what do I do..."

Cha! I need to secure a way to come back whenever I want, that's what!

"Shut up Inner! I need to think—Wait, that might actually be what I need to do first." Sakura paused. "Where have you been?"

Sleeping, the like. Ever since you got so nerdy you kept dismissing me as schizophrenia. But now that you're thinking of Sasuke-kun, I'm back!

"Get outta my mind."

IDIOT! YOU NEED ME. You wouldn't have came up with that by yourself—and get thrown out faster than Naruto. Besides, don't you think two strategic minds work better than one?

"Okay! Okay! You can shut up because I know arguing with myself is totally stupid so I won't do that."

Good.

Sakura's eye twitched.
