Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...WAH

please review if you read it

A boy in a neon-orange jumpsuit whizzed past me, followed by men in their chuunin outfits. I sighed. My eyes followed where Naruto came from. What I saw knocked me off my feet.

"NARUTOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed. The four hokages' faces were graffitied all over. As much as I let Naruto go by with his pranks, and as much as I cared for him as my friend, this was just a little bit too far. Ok, fine, I was supposed to be at school too, but I decided to play hookie. School just wasn't enough for me, even if it was the only way to graduate and become an official shinobi.

Another blurry figure whizzed past me, I heard Naruto scream, "something - Iruka sensei!". This was my chance to get to class before getting caught. I mean, not to be braggy, but I went pretty fast for someone that wasn't a genin yet. Also, if I had any talents, my specialty would be the ability to sneak through a crowded place without being noticed.

I was sitting beside Sasuke, and no one realized that I just appeared.That is, until the mob of girls were onto me.They were all crowded around me, about to beat me up, when Iruka sensei walked in with Naruto tied up beside him. Sensei was giving him a lecture... well more likely yelling at him about his past failures in the graduation exams, when I stood up suddenly. I didn't know why I did, but I realized that I was embarrassing myself, with everyone staring at me.

"Eh, Kane-chan, you don't need to stand up for me. Ha ha!" Naruto said proudly.

I turned red in the face, boiling with anger at everyone. Especially Naruto. "WHO SAID I WAS STANDING UP FOR YOU? I WAS JUST STRETCHING!" After my tantrum, I slowly slid into my seat, getting lower and lower until you couldn't see my head.

"Alright then! For today's class we're having a review test on "Henge no Jutsu. Everyone line up, even those who passed!" Sensei yelled.

Like everyone else, I groaned. I wasn't good at transformation at all. Actually, I just never practiced, but in every way I didn't have the skill to do that. Sakura went first. She did it perfectly. I gota little jealous, seeing how she wasn't the best student, just another dork who's just smart. Then Sasuke went, of course, he was the genius of our school. I was a little tense about this review. Naruto's turn was next. He turned into a hot, nude girl, giving sensei a nosebleed. I fell to the floor laughing. I felt less tense about it, and had more courage and confidence.I suppose Naruto wasn't that bad. After other people went, finally it was my turn.

"Tensake Kaneshi, you're up!" announced sensei.

My insides squirmed. I felt squeezy. I took a long deep breath and put my hands in position. "Henge no jutsu!" poof I heard him say excellent. I poofed back and I looked at everyone feeling great. Only Naruto grinned at me and gave me a thumbs up.

I followed Naruto, to thank him, but I found him washing up his graffiti. To thank him, I decided to use my special skill. I stole a rag from one of the balconies, and zoomed up and down each of the hokages' faces. Not washing all of it, but to give Naruto less work. When I was done and made sure they didn't notice me at all, I went home and took a deep breath. I knew I did a good deed.

The next day, at school was graduation exams.It was the Bunshin no Jutsu test. I saw Naruto panicking. It was pretty obvious that, that was his worst skill. I ignored itand focused on passing the exam. I already failed it the first time. I wasn't about to fail it again. I was before Naruto this time.

"Bunshin no Jutsu!" I divided into three. I smiled big and walked out. Outside I screamed, "Woot! I passed!"

We were let out early, due to our exams to meet our parents. I had no parents so I walked on to my house, when I heard some of the moms whispering about Naruto, the only one who failed. They were insulting him. I stopped and looked at him, sitting on that stupid swing.Maybe I was lying to myself, maybe I'm not his friend. But if I was, some friend I was. I couldn't take the gossiping anymore so I ran on home.

Later that day, I saw Naruto with Mizuki sensei on a balcony. I was glad that Mizuki sensei could do what I couldn't. Feeling better, I walked by.

I came back home from the ramen shop only to find that my keys were missing. I didn't want to bash the door open again, like I always do so I went to my quiet spot to sleep. It was really late at night when I was woken up by a rustling of leaves. It didn't sound like wind brushing against them. I got up quickly and had my shuriken at the ready. I looked up at the trees. I saw an orange blur and another chasing him.

'Naruto, can you ever get yourself out of trouble?' I thought as I quietly followed them. I lost sight of them, but I catched up with them again when I saw, not Naruto, but my sensei, who was very bloody, and Mizuki sensei facing each other. I caught my breath and hid behind a tree and saw the real Naruto a distance away from me, but watching the same thing. I was confused when I sensed a windmill shuriken coming at me. I quickly ducked and saw several branches fall. There was Naruto, fighting for sensei.

I didn't know what to do but run.

'Why do I always run?' I thought, while I was running home.
