U--Oi, naruto.
Wake up. Wake up right now.
Wake up stupid.
N--Gah! Eh? Urochi?
U--Yeah, stupid. Me.
N--Hey! Who are you calling stupid?!
U--You, idiot. Sigh. You're so troublesome when you just wake up...
N--Urochi...you sound like Shikamaru...
U--Hm? Oh! Hey naruto.
N--...? Um, Urochi are you okay? You kind of spaced out for a second there.
U--Oh, yeah. I just space out a lot, it makes me feel free and happy. Sigh...
N--...Yeah...Urochi, you really are starting to sound like Shikamaru.
U--Oh, well... I'm happy either way. Acting or not as Shikamaru.
N--I guess to each their own, right? -;
U--Yep...
N--Yeah...
U--...
N--...
N--Well, gotta get back to training, y'know?
U--Oh yeah! Naruto! I was gonna ask you, can I train with you? I'm pretty much bored, so I thought, 'hey! Why don't I train?' And who none other than you, Naruto, to train with, hm?
N--What, what kind of question is that? Of course you can train with me! It's never fun to train with yourself alone, anyway!
U--Good! What shall we do?
N--Um...how about throwing practice?
U--Yeah! That's a good idea! I bet I can beat you in number of bullseyes!
N--You're on!
-At the hyuga house-
Hi--neji, it's time for your training.
Ne--Hai.
K--Hm, when is hinata coming out?
S--She'll be here soon.
tap tap
H--huff, huff, sorry I'm late everyone.
K--Hey! No big deal!
H--So what's the training with Kurenai-sensei going to be like today?
K--I think she's making us do tree practice today.
S--No kiba. Kurenai-sensei told us that we were going to work individually on our techniques today, then practice our techniques with each other the next day.
K--You can actually remember all that stuff? All I hear are the days that we train on.
H--Well, it's all fine to me.
K--Yeah, hey, hinata, why doesn't your father ever practice with you?
H--...I... I think that... he still thinks that I'm a failure...
K--What?! That's crap!
H--Which is why I'm grateful that you're helping me train.
K--No problem, Hinata! We're you're teammates and friends we wouldn't shove you off as if you were an annoying fly!
A--Arf!
H--Thank you Kiba-kun, Akamaru-kun, Shino-kun.
K--Oi, Shino. What's with you? You only spoke once and that was when you were telling us about the training that we have planned for today. Eh? Shino?
S--...Kiba...Kurenai-sensei also told us that she would give a signal for us to train. But, I haven't seen or noticed it yet.
K--Actually, I heard something about that too...where is it?
they all looked around
H--Isn't that Naruto and Urochi over there?
K--Hey, it is! Oi! Naruto! Urochi!
Urochi and Naruto turned their heads to look at them
U--Hey guys! Care to join us?
K--We're waiting for Kurenai-sensei.
U--Well then, you're going to have to wait a long time! I think she was in the hospital, last time I heard!
'What?!' all three said in unison
-a few moments later, at the hospital-
K--Kurenai-sensei, what happened to you in one day?!
Ku--Hm?
Oh, I had an early mission that I thought would give me no problems. Apparently I was mistaken.
S--What happened?
Ku--I was ran over .
H--B-by what?
Ku--By...
U--Oh! Oh! I know this one! You were ran over because you got in between the end of school bell, and the entrance to the academy, right?
Ku--...how on earth did you know?
U--It happened to me once, it left me emotionally scarred and traumatized for a lllooonnnggg time.
Ku--...
K--And she says this with a smile...
-Hyuga House Residence-
Hi--Neji, let's take a break.
Ne--Hai.
Sigh...
Hi--Something troubling you Neji?
Ne--I don't know, ever since the fight with Naruto, and you telling me about my father, I feel a little empty...
Hi--Hm...?
Ne--Er, I mean, just a little...
Hi--Sigh I know what you mean, Neji.
Ne--?
Hi--Ever since that day when your father felt to take that huge sacrifice, I've felt very different.
Ne--Hiashi...-looks down- well, -smiles- we better get back to training, right?
Hi--Very well, Neji. We will continue...
U--Well, Naruto, we better get back to training.
Oh! Yeah!
You guys willing to join us?
K--Sure! We could do some sparring with each other! I'll beat you this time Naruto!
N--In your dreams, loser!
U--Sigh guys can be so tedious.
If we're going to spar...
Everyone: Hm?
U--Then we should invite others to fight with us.
N--Yeah! That's a great idea! Believe it!
U--Ok, then. If we're going to invite people I'll gather them up. You guys go on over to the area.
N--Urochi, you know this isn't a mission.
U--Have you ever seen how many people make a huge fuss out of these types of things?
N--...
U--Trust me, I'll get a lot of other people to come. In the meantime, Why don't we make this a bit more interesting?
Eh?
U--Why don't we make this a tournament?
Eh?!
U--Yeah, it'll be great. Whoever the champion is of the whole tournament, will get a prize!
S--Hm. I can see that.
N--Yeah! Let's do it!
N--I'll bite!
H--M-me too.
U--Then let's make this the best tournament ever!!
Everyone: Yeah!
N--Believe it!
-Several minutes pass-
U--Ok, we'll need to get the prizes.
N--Prizes?
U--Yes. You know, first, second, and third?
N--Oh, yeah! The prizes...
U--Then we'll need permission from the fifth.
And we also need some volunteer prizes.
N--I'll work on the information from Granny Tsunade.
K--Shino and I will get the prizes.
U--And, obviously, I, get the people to come.
H--Er... what do I do?
U--Hm? Oh Hinata, um. Why don't you get the tournament set up?
H--Hunh?
U--You know, like, building the area, getting paper sheets stuff like that.
H--But...!
U--Don't worry we'll come by to help you when we're done! Ok?
H--O-ok...
U--Then...let's get this thing started!!!!
Yeah!
