It is day, and the "Naruto gang" (Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke) is happily
having their lunch next to a cool and clean river. Ramen noodles for Naruto
and donuts for Sakura and Sasuke.
Naruto had just finished swallowing the lasts of his ramen noodles, holding his chopsticks up in the air. "Hey guys, how about a nice refreshing swim after this?" he asked to Sakura and Sasuke.
"What? But we just ate!" Sakura stated. "You do know that you're supposed to wait at least an hour before swimming. Otherwise you'd barf." She swallowed down the rest of her donut and took a sip of the refreshing river water. She breathed out a contented "aahh".
Naruto gave Sakura a look in order to show that he didn't care. He stood up and put his hands on his hips. "You actually believe that stuff?" Naruto said, annoyed. "Grown-ups tell that to their kids just to keep them inside the house! And besides, I've gone swimming after eating lots of times, and I never barfed! Not even once."
Now Sakura was annoyed at Naruto. She also stood up and said, "Well how would you know? You don't even HAVE parents!"
Naruto's eyes widened. The thought of not having parents struck his heart, and he became angry at Sakura for ever saying that about him. "Don't you.EVER say that about me.EVER! Do you understand?" Naruto shouted in Sakura's face.
Sasuke finally stood up and joined their conversation. "Shouldn't you give him a chance, Sakura?" Sasuke said sternly. "Just because Naruto doesn't have any parents doesn't mean that you could just start insulting him!"
Naruto turned to Sasuke, and then looked down to the ground. He didn't know what to say. "Thanks.Sasuke," Naruto said quietly. Sasuke heard him, and nodded in return.
Sakura hadn't known how hard it was for Naruto not having any parents to help him, feed him, or praise him. She closed her eyes and sighed. "I'm sorry Naruto. I shouldn't have said those things about you."
Naruto felt a sudden warmth in his heart. He enjoyed having this feeling. It's okay, Sakura. Naruto said in his mind. That face of yours is too pretty to resist. I have no choice but to forgive you. Naruto looked back at Sakura and said, "It's okay, Sakura. I forgive you."
Sasuke quickly became bored of this, so he turned to the river water and touched it with his hand. He swirled the water around in circles, making his reflection in the river harder to see. He took he hand out and waited for the water to return to its normal flow.
Sakura had been relieved that Naruto forgiven her for being so rude. She then joined Sasuke next to the river. "What're you doing?" she asked in curiosity.
"Nothing," Sasuke replied, still staring at his reflection in the water.
"So I guess that swim in the river won't be happening." Naruto said sadly. He waited for an answer, but found there was no use of just standing there behind Sakura and Sasuke. He plopped down next to them.
"It's a pretty hot day, huh guys?" Naruto said out loud, hoping to convince Sasuke and Sakura to go swimming. He again waited for an answer, and then looked up and around the environment.
Silence. The only sounds that were being made were from crickets and birds, and the splashing of the river. Naruto had never experienced this kind of silence. He decided to savor this moment, when Sakura had suddenly spoken.
"Hey you guys, look, there's a girl!" Sakura pointed out.
Naruto looked across the river and spotted a girl, just as Sakura had said. "Hmph, yeah it's a girl," Naruto said annoyingly. "Ever seen one?"
"I just wanted to show you..." said Sakura.
Sasuke eyes' were off the river now. He was staring at the girl that Sakura had pointed out. The girl was a ninja, wearing the same headband as him.
Naruto looked at Sasuke, confused. "Hey Sasuke, you okay?"
Sakura was also worried. "I hope nothing's wrong with him."
The girl took a couple steps along the river and then turned to see Sasuke staring at her. She smiled and politely waved and greeted him. "Hi there!"
Sasuke blinked and shook his head out of his staring. His faced turned a rosy red color.
Naruto rubbed his chin. "Hmm," he began, "I think Sasuke likes that girl."
Sakura's eyes widened in surprise. "What??" She had never thought of Sasuke ever liking a girl before. She became furious and yelled at Sasuke, "Sasuke snap out of it!!"
It was no use. Sasuke was still staring at the girl.
The girl became curious about what was happening, so she decided to cross the river and introduce herself. She jumped on each rock, making her way towards Sasuke's side.
Sasuke's heart beat rapidly as she came closer and his face became redder. She hopped off the last rock and stepped onto the dirt. "Hi!" she said happily.
Sasuke became speechless. He gulped and stood up, shaking. "H-hey." he said shyly. "M-y name i-is S-sasuke!" He started to sweat.
"Heh heh, hi Sasuke!" she replied. "My name is Suzuki! Nice to meet you," She held out a hand in order to receive a handshake.
Sasuke looked at Suzuki and back to her hand. He reached out his hand and held onto Suzuki's as if he had never done it before. "N-nice to m- meet you too!" Suzuki's hand felt like a soft and smooth cushion to Sasuke and he didn't want to let go. But Suzuki had let go already and Sasuke looked up at her face, his eyes locked with hers.
Sasuke stared at her face. She had soft brown hair in pigtails, sparkling eyes, and shining smooth looking skin.
Sakura became easily jealous about this and stood in front of Sasuke, separating him from Suzuki. She made a low growl at him.
Suzuki, like the kind person she was, had forgotten to introduce herself to Sakura and Naruto. So she tapped on Sakura's back and kindly said to her, "Hello, my name is Suzuki. May I have your name, please?"
Sakura turned around and said, "The name's Haruno Sakura! And this is my boyfriend Sasuke. You've already met him before."
Sasuke was shocked to hear this when he truly wasn't Sakura's boyfriend, but he decided not to speak.
Naruto had just finished swallowing the lasts of his ramen noodles, holding his chopsticks up in the air. "Hey guys, how about a nice refreshing swim after this?" he asked to Sakura and Sasuke.
