Title: Genius
Challenge @ Naruto100: Divergences
Bonuses: 'kill' a living character
Rating: G
AN: I apologise in advance for any errors in technical terms, I tried to use as little as possible. All I know about the terms comes from watching MythBusters ^^;; (i.e. I used what sounded right)
Sakura was smart beyond her years.
She didn't have Shikamaru's genius; able to process thousands of situations, to predict outcomes, to plan ahead many steps: to think for the future.
Instead, Sakura could think for the present, calculate collisions, landing points, acceleration of objects over a given curve.
She used to watch the other students at the academy practice, learning first hand how different factors effected the projectile's trajectory.

Sakura ran onto the hospital roof.
The adrenaline rush slowed down time, her brain launching into action, quickly calculating Sasuke and Naruto's movements:
The angle of the wind, their speed.
She calculated her own path: acceleration, velocity.
She processed the point of intersection.
She would make it in time.
She felt their jutsu;
Sasuke's crackling madly; nothing like the sweet chirping of birds.
Naruto's spinning, uncontrollable, unpredictable; just like him.
Even as she was dying, she felt a small satisfaction that her calculations had been correct:
Rasengan slowed down, Naruto finally realising his actions, trying in vain to prevent the inevitable.
Chidori pushed forward, a mercy move, ensuring a quick death.
Sakura just hoped they had learned their lesson.
