The boys feed her and team 7 is formed

Naruto looked between the lunch box that Kakashi had left him, and his naked teammate. To be honest, he wasn't sure whether this was really happening or if he was under a genjutsu. Sakura hadn't really been wrong when she'd said that he was terrible at getting out of them, after all, and if someone thought to put a naked Sakura in whatever genjutsu they put him under, then the truth was that he wouldn't be fighting too hard to try and get out.

“D-don't you dare look!” Sakura gasped out, her body tinged red in a full-body blush. “J-just eat your lunch and when the fighting starts you stand back so that I can kill him myself!”

What Sakura didn't know, and which Naruto (in a rare display of self-preservation) wouldn't be telling her was that she'd been tied to that pole for ten minutes before she'd roused herself. He'd had plenty of time to devour the sight of her naked body over that period. So had Sasuke, even if the bastard liked to pretend he was above looking.

It's not like they could have done anything to prevent it. Their sensei had stripped her in the literal blink of an eye – one moment she was lying **** next to the pole and fully clothed, the next she was naked with her clothes nowhere to be seen, and a moment after that she was being kept upright against the pole by the rope that was now tied tight around her. The only things that Kakashi left behind in his ninja-speed strip had been her ankle-high ninja sandals, the standard weapons-pouch tied to her right thigh, and her forehead protector tied on the top of her head. None of those three things – essential items for any ninja – did anything to hide her nudity, and if anything they just highlighted her otherwise total lack of clothes.

Naruto had actually seen plenty of naked women in his short life. He'd browsed adult magazines and snuck into the women's baths on several occasions in order to get his Sexy Jutsu perfected, after all. But none of those women turned him on as the sight of a naked Sakura, the pale skin of her face and collarbone turning red from a combination of embarrassment and anger. Normally he thought she was very pretty. But when she was naked, embarrassed and pissed off? She was absolutely beautiful.

The blond boy reluctantly tore his eyes away from her bare body as he put his lunch box in front of him and started to walk towards her.

Sakura's eyes widened. “What do you think you're doing!? Don't come any closer!” With her arms tied, she resorted to the only defense she could, kicking her legs out to try and keep him away.

“Whoa! Careful there, Sakura!” Naruto shouted as he barely dodged a vicious kick thanks to the tantalizing view of her labia that she presented when she'd raised her leg. “I'm just trying to give you some food! You're going to need it when we fight him again!”

Before Sakura could growl out a reply, an unexpected voice cut into the gap.

“The idiot's right,” Sasuke said as he walked up to the other side of the naked girl, his eyes still staring off into the vague distance as he held out some food with his chopsticks. “You're clearly not eating enough. We'll need all of us at full strength for this.”

'What the hell kind of day was this? Seriously, what the hell?!'

Sakura sure didn't know. Nothing in her short life had prepared her for being stripped naked, exposed and tied to a pole so that she couldn't hide her body from the two people that she least wanted to see her naked.

On her one side, she had the boy that she didn't want to see her naked because she had a crush on him. On the other side, she had the boy that she didn't want to see her naked because he had a crush on her. Sakura looked between the two boys, both of them with hands reaching out with chopsticks full of food, both of whom were now close enough that if their hands fell down they'd hit her exposed breasts.

She didn't know what to think. On the one hand, Sasuke was offering to feed her! That was easily the most romantic thing that Sakura had ever seen or heard of him doing. On the other hand, Sasuke had commented on her appearance, which meant that despite his looking off into the distance, he had definitely peeked! She wanted to crawl into a hole and die from mortification while simultaneously cheering that her crush was taking notice before crawling back into the hole because the thing that he'd noticed was that she was a bit scrawny when there were no clothes hiding her body. So what if she was a bit scrawny? She was still developing, damn it!

Certainly her fluctuating emotions weren't helped by Naruto also being there and also seeing all of her body. It also didn't help at all that he was uncomfortably close to her while she was naked and tied up. This was the kind of thing people had nightmares about!

Before she could sort out her whirling emotions, Kakashi appeared in a puff of smoke as he shouted, “You...! ...All pass.”

A short explanation later

Sakura bit her lip as Kakashi finally finished his speech about protecting your comrades. His words were probably very inspirational, but she hardly felt like taking to heart the words of a pervert who had decided to strip her naked for some suspicious and probably made up law. The only things that prevented her from verbally tearing into him was that a) it hadn't phased him when she'd shouted at him before and b) the Hokage would surely punish him for doing this to her once he heard. A few moments later her patience was rewarded as her sensei cut the ropes tying her.

“So...” she sweetly said, doing her best to pretend she didn't want to **** her new teacher as she immediately took the chance to finally cover her chest and crotch now that her hands were free. She didn't move away from the post, however, when she saw Naruto starting to unsubtly lean back in anticipation of seeing her bare ass. Putting that thought aside into the 'punch him when I have clothes again', she continued with, “I sure have learned my lesson! Can I have my clothes back now, please?”

Kakashi just shook his head in response while giving what appeared to be a smile with his eyes. “Well now, that's not how the tradition goes at all. Once the Nidaime's Encouragement is enacted, the affected Genin is expected to 'wear' their punishment until they retire for the night.”

Sakura's jaw dropped. Her arms almost followed, before she overcame her shock enough to remember what they were covering. “Wh-what!? I can't stay out in the Training Grounds until them, my parents will expect me long before then!”

“Of course you can't stay here,” Kakashi agreed. “After all, we have to go register our team with the Hokage now that the test is over.”

Sakura swallowed. No way. No way! The Hokage would be in the Hokage Tower, which was in the middle of town. It was lunch time right now, which meant that the streets would be packed! “Y-you're joking, right?”

“Is this the face of a man who jokes?” Kakashi asked, pointing towards his face.

'He covers everything on his face except for one eye! I can't tell what the hell kind of face he has, joking or not; I can't see enough of it!' Inner Sakura screamed out.
