◤Chūnin Exam◢

Round 4, Haruno Sakura vs. Yamanaka Ino “I want to make a beautiful flower” It would be great if the flowers bloomed. I always want to be someone like you and grow with you as my goal. Thanks to you, I'm here now. So Ino, I want to fight you seriously. 』When Sakura returned the red ribbon to Ino, it was the time when the two of them, as kunoichi, would not lose to each other.

Instead, she said to Sakura... "You finally bloomed and became a beautiful flower."
