Chapter 1 One pissed kuniochi
Naruto was in Ichiraku's happily eating a bowl of ramen when there was an earthquake. Well... not actually an earthquake but the footsteps of a very angry pink-haired kuniochi. He poked his head outside the stall and immediately came back in and hid under a table. "If Sakura comes tell her I'm not here." he whispered to Ichiraku's owneras he hid underneath a table.
Sakura stormed in "Have you seen Naruto?" she asked. The owner shook his head. "Damn it, where the hell is he??" She was so pissed she banged her fist on a table and it cracked neatly in half to reveal a very nervous Naruto. "Um, hi Sakura. I better get going."
"Not so fast," Sakura said as she grabbed the collar of the trying to escape Naruto's shirt. Naruto gulped and waited for what was going to happen next. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL EVERYONE THAT I WENT ON A DATE WITH LEE??"
"I did?" Naruto said trying to be innocent. "Don't play dumb with me," she scowled cracking her knuckles "Or you might get serious brain damage."
"I'm sorry Sakura." Naruto said as he cried anime-style. "Please don't beat me up." "Fine." Sakura sighed "But if this happens when I study taijutsu with Lee again I will personally beat you into a pulp." "Yes, whatever you say Sakura. It'll never happen again." "Maybe..." he said under his breath. "Did you say something?" Sakura asked glaring at him. "No, nothing at all." he stammered. Sakura just looked at him and ordered herself a bowl of ramen.
Sakura and Naruto were eating when a Shizune ran inside. They looked up "What brings you here Shizune?" asked Sakura. "The Hokage-pant- wants-pant-to see-pant you. The two shrugged and headed towards the Hokage Tower both thinking the same thoughts 'Why does the Hokage want to see us?"
