Chapter 1: Party Preps, Arrivals and a Flashback of a Realization
"Ahhh. Finally. We got you back, Sasuke. I was surprised when you asked to live with me. Oh well. We got a new apartment! YAY! I'm not alone anymore!" said the ever cheerful blonde. "Yeah. Being with that damned Orochimaru changed my outlook on life and made me realize you were my bestfriend. We've got to catch up, by the way, do you still like Sakura?" said the newly kind Uchiha. "I think, but I'm not so sure. Why, do you? Do you want to love her, do you want to hug her, do you want to kiss her-" "Shut up, Naruto..." "Oh my god! You do!" "Okay, okay! I do! Fine! Wait a minute, you're not sure you like Sakura-chan? What do you mean? SHE'S BEAUTIFUL!" "Okay, I didn't know you liked her that way...I mean, in my dream, I keep seeing a beautiful purple-haired woman in a silky light purple kimono. She has a flower in her hair, but I never see her face. I awake before that. I think she's the grown up version of an ultra pretty girl dancing on the water, on a mission. Come to think of it, I think I know her from somewhere..." "You are the biggest baka I've ever met..." "What did I do?" "You, Naruto, like the ultra pretty girl dancing on the water with purple hair, is..." Sasuke did a drum roll. "GET ON WITH IT!" "You like Hinata." "No I don't!...Oh my god! I do! I do! I do! I am a baka!" "I have a feeling this is gonna be a good few years, me and you living together..." "I LOVE HINATA!" "Shut up..." "Should I ask her out? What if she rejects me! What if she likes Kiba, or maybe she likes Shino! Hinata Bug Lady! WAAA!" "SHUT UP!" There was a knocking on the door. "Better get that..." said the blonde. He opened the door to Sakura, in a nightgown and sleeping cap. "NARUTO! YOU BAKA! I'M GONNA-" "Sakura! Don't! He just went through a breakthrough!" "A what?" Sakura said still with fist inches from Naruto's face. ""What he means is that I just realized something important! Could you please put yor arm down?" "Oh, sorry. What's so important that you realized, anyways?" "Who I love." "If this is another pick-up attempt, I-" "It's not you! It's HINATA!" "Really? You like her? Well, good for you, Naruto!" "Thank you Sakura-chan." "You're welcome. Oh, I gotta go! Bye Naruto! Bye Sasuke!" said the pink headed kunoichi. "By-ye. Sakura-chan." Sasuke shut the door with his mouth open and face beet red. "Hahahaha! You got it bad!" "Oh, what abwout wittle Hwinataw?" Naruto steamed. "Let's go to bed." "Hey, Naruto. Hey, hey. " "What?" "BURN!" "Shut up." "Jeez, touchy, god..."
ONE YEAR LATER
"Now to announce who have become Chunin. Konohamaru and Naruto Uzamaki! Please give them a round of applause!" announced the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade. Naruto and Konohamaru clapped hands and put their hands in the air, attracting more applause! "Congratulations, Boss!" "Stop calling me boss! You're thirteen!" "Oh well. Whatever."
ONE WEEK LATER
"Where is Sasuke! He said he would be back in ten minutes! It's beeen fifteen-Oh, there he is!" "That store was FLOODED! I got candy, soda pop, chips, glasses, ice, and oderbs!" "How many Coca Colas did you drink?" "One or two or five or ten or twenty. Probably thirty. OWW! What was the slap for!" "I told you not to drink that many drinks!" "Blah blah blah. Have some fun." "Now get them ready!" "Just because the party's about you, doesn't mean you have to boss me around. In fact, I used to beat you up!" "I know, I know. I'm just nervous about...about telling Hinata how I...feel about her..." "I know! I'm telling Sakura how I feel about her and you don't see me going nuts." "You drowned your nervoussness in 30 Cokes." "So?" "You- oh crap someone's at the door! Quick, use your speed to get everything ready!" "Roger!" Said the hyper love-struck raven haired Uchiha. "Done!" "Good! Come up here and help me greet the guests!" Naruto then opened the door as soon as his roommate scrambled right up next to him. They then both said,"Hi how are-" Both of their jaws dropped because both of their crushes came at the same time in attractive outfits. "H-hi. Naruto-kun. Hello, Sasuke." "Hi Naruto. Hi Sasuke." "Hi." The two boys said. "Oh, how silly of us, come in!" Said the blonde. "Thank you, Naruto-kun. Congratulations on becoming a Chunin, also." "It was nothing." "You went up against the now freed container of the four-tailed beast from the Village Hidden in the Mist." "It wasn't that hard..." Meanwhile, over with Sasuke and Sakura..."They make such a cute couple, don't you think, Sakura-chan?" "I know! It's nice seeing my new bestfriend with my old bestfriend. Only you and me are alone. This sucks." "Totally. Wanna get some sodas?" "Not now, but maybe when everyone else arrives." Soon enough, evryone else arrived. Team 10, Team Guy, with Neji and Tenten hand-in-hand with Rock Lee carrying pink roses. "Sakura-chan, I-" "Nooo." Then the rest of Team 8 and then the sand nins.
