Meeting Anko for the First Time-The Taste of Dango! (Continued)

Sakura looked as though nothing had happened.

If she had not been wearing a short qipao,

she definitely would have copied Aogetsu Hyuga and shoved her hands into her pockets.

How arrogant!

Hinata seethed inwardly.

The next second,

she shot forward like an arrow.

Thick Chakra wrapped around her fist,

A blue hemisphere burst into being. A powerful repulsive force struck Sakura, driving her several steps back.

"Ha!
