Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto does.
A/N: This is just a little drabble that I came up with. It takes place in the training center after Team 7 comes back from chasing Gaara, Temari, and Kankurou after the Chuunin exam, but before Naruto leaves with Jiraiya to find Tsunade and before Sasuke and Naruto's "fight" on top of the hospital. It doesn't have any spoilers really.
Summary: I know it'd be NICE to include a summary, but this is so short that it doens't need one.

He had trained all day. Sweat poured down his face and body in rivulets. His clothes stuck to his skin as if they had been melded with super glue. He was tired, dead tired, but his body wouldn’t let him rest until he was stronger than Naruto.
Sasuke beat upon the punching bag for a few more minutes before collapsing from complete and total physical exhaustion. He lay on the training room floor, taking in fast, sharp breaths, eyes half-lidded and unfocused, and a sticky puddle of sweat trailing off his body to cover the floor.
He couldn’t stop now. No! No! NO! He had to keep going. He had to be stronger than Naruto. He HAD TO BE! No. Naruto was stronger. There was no question about it. How else would he have defeated Gaara like that? No. Naruto couldn’t be stronger. There was no way that retarded no-talent could have surpassed him, the last Uchiha and genius of his now dead clan. No! No! NO! There was no way!
The door to the training room creaked open, but Sasuke was too drained to turn his head and see who it was. Sandaled feet stopped by his head, and smooth, creamy white legs bent so that he was staring into worried green eyes. For a minute he thought she would jump on him, hugging him, and hurt him even more, but she didn’t. Instead, she carefully leaned his worn body up so that his head was leaning against her chest, cradling him.
“S-Sakura…”
Sakura only tightened her grip at his voice and began to rock back and forth a little bit, much to Sasuke’s exhaustion-motivated discomfort.
His eyes focused for a moment and then unfocused again.
“S-Sakura…”
The edges of his vision were becoming fuzzy and colours were starting flash in random patterns over his eyes. The sounds around him started to fade and black started creeping in on the colours polluting his eyes.
“Sasuke, you will succeed in your goals and dreams. I’m sure of it.”
The world went black.
A/N: I don't know if this will show up or not... but here is the pic that inspired this whole thing:
