Damn it, Sakura-chan. Why does she always to hit me when I do something wrong?" Naruto rubbed his cheek as he pondered his teammate's anger problems. "Sometimes I feel like the basis of our relationship is just a comedy duo and she's the straight man." Naruto sighed and then decided to train.

Sometime later, Naruto was on the training grounds outside the village. He was using both Shadow Clones and the Transformation Jutsu to help visualize fighting enemies. He even used his Sexy Jutsu to help motivate him. Little did he know, someone was already quietly motivating him from behind the trees.
Hinata stood behind the trees, quietly watching Naruto's progress. She chose to stay quiet, thinking it would be best not to disrupt Naruto's training. However, Naruto noticed her presence and despite her hesitation, she approached him when he called her over.
Naruto: So, what are you doing out here, Hinata?
Hinata: Well, you see... Sakura told me you were training. So I thought...
As Hinata talked, she gripped the basket in her hands. He noticed this and asked her what was inside. Hinata unveiled the basket and presented Naruto with Food Pills. Naruto was surprised to see Food Pills, and he was a little uneasy at the thought of using them. And he immediately remembered what happened the last time he used them...

A flashback reveals that Naruto was sick and on the ground from trying one of Sakura's Food Pills. Sakura asked what was wrong and Naruto replied that he felt like someone was punching him inside the stomach... from the inside. Rock Lee was present as well, but he stood up and told Naruto he was being rude and that there was nothing wrong with Sakura's cooking. Sakura was about to thank Lee, until she looked at his face. And Naruto angrily pointed out that Lee was crying and looked like he was about to collapse.

Coming back into reality, Naruto saw that Hinata was offering her own Food Pills to him. He didn't want to offend her, so he ate one. And to his surprise, Naruto felt energized.
Naruto: Whoa. I was just worn out a while ago. But now, I feel like just woke and full of energy!
Hinata: R-Really? *her face lights up* I'm glad I was of help. *smile*
Naruto: Hey, since you're here. Would you like to spar with me?
Hinata: Huh? Um, sure.
And so, both shinobi got ready as they get into fighting poses...
