Upon writing this story I had Chinese for supper and opened my fortune cookie. It said "You will become an accomplished writer." It totally freaked me out. But also gave me motivation to finish this chapter in one sitting. So If it seems rushed, it is so that cursed cookie's Fault
CHAPTER ONE Happenings
(I don't own naruto, although I wish I did, and I don't own I am Legend, in which I am trying to theme my story around)
Dong, Dong, Dong.
A bell rang out through konoha.
A bell that called together the greatest ninjas in konoha to a meeting place.
The meeting place.
"Hurry up Sakura, forget about your drawing stuff Sai!" A blonde haired teenager called out as he ran toward the Hokage's building, jumping off roofs of stores and homes, and almost knocking over a few villagers.
Sakura and Sai picked up their pace and quickly caught up to Naruto, who was finally stopped at the line of other ninjas stretching outside of the Hokage's building front gate.
"Hey Shika! What is this meeting about?" Asked a breathless Sakura.
"Well I don't know excately but for what I could gather other the rumors of others, Tsunade has come up with some sort of new injection that is suppose to increase your chakra by at least double its original amount. Its suppose to be youthful and strengthening. She wants to select experienced ninjas to have the injections done on. I doubt we'll make it through her qualifications though." Answered Shikamaru clearly annoyed of explaining this to a dim witted Naruto " or you could have just read the notices that are posted all along the walls and gates" He added pointing to a detailed notice plastered on a wall.
Sakura giggled at Naruto, while Sai refered to a book on friendship.
Hmm, it says that when your new found friend is insulted of intellegince, one should insult they're own with a "I didn't know that either" or complaint them in some way example; "don't worry your smarter then you think"
"ahem, um, Naruto?" Sai said.
"Yeah Sai?"
"I just wanted you to know, that your lack of intelleigence will preserve! And next time you'll notice the plainly plastered poster in front of you" Sai said with a real like smile on his face.
"WHA-?" screamed Naruto as his face went beat red and he begun to freak out.
Sakura still laughing put a hand on Sai's shoulder and said " Sai, that, although amazingly funny, wasn't exactly polite!"
Then in a brust of laughter both Sakura and Shikamaru were on the ground laughing, almost rolling around. Sai's face turned a light shade of pink while Naruto struggled to calm down.
"I'm sorry Naruto I was trying to compliment you and boost your spirit" Sai murmured.
"Its alright Sai, I guess, seeing as you are just learning this friendly stuff" Grunted Naruto, still angry at Sakura and Shikamaru.
The long line began to move into the gates of the Hokage building.
When they finally got inside the actual building Naruto was a non-stop complain train with no end. "My legs hurt, I'm hot, I'm hungry, Whens this going to be over anyways?"
"Naruto, If you don't shut up right this minute I'm going to kick your-." Sakura was cut off by Tsunade's voice yelling to them.
"Hey you kids, you can go back to whatever you were doing before this. I've closed this experiment off to anyone under the 25 age limit." She shouted shooing them away from the building.
As they were walking out they saw fellow teenage nin, Ino Choji and Neji. They were near the end of the line waiting also waiting to be let into the building.
"you guys might as well not bother going." Naruto told them as they walked by.
"whys that? I've been standing here for at least 15 minutes and my feet are killing me" Ino complained back.
"Only an Ino pig like yourself would wear high heels while standing line" Sakura teased.
"they aren't letting anyone the age of 25 up there. I wonder what exactly is going on with this whole thing anyways" Said Shikamaru as he continued his way down the street into the business of the leaf village.
"SHIKA! Wait for me!" Ino yelled as she struggled to pull her high heels off and sped after him.
"that girl has issues." Commented Sai as they all laughed at her.
The next morning Sakura and Naruto met up at the training grounds. They looked around for Sai and Kakashi.
"I wonder whats keep them" Said Sakura as she flopped onto the soft dewy grass and stretched.
Naruto yawned and shrugged as he too flopped onto the ground. "Well actually, I think I know whats keeping Kakashi Sensi" He laughed after a few moments.
Sakura laughed too, " oh yeah he likes reading those books, a little too much"
"Sorry to have kept you waiting fellow teammates" Said Sai as he settled down on the grass beside them. Sai having already trained elsewhere only came to the training days to give support to his team mates and try to form bonds. He pulled out his sketch book and paints.
"Are you still working on that landscape painting Sai?" Sakura asked as she peered over his shoulder.
"No, I've decided to do a portrait now" Sai said as he turned the page over.
Sakura let out a gasp.
Painted in light pastels was Sakura. Her hair was longer and eyes were bright and vibrate. It was altogether a moving piece.
"What is it?" Naruto asked
"He's doing a painting of me, and its beautiful, look Naruto" Said Sakura as she turned a rosy red.
Sai looked down and turned a light shade of pink. He smiled and said " I thought you'd make a nice piece to my collection of paintings"
Naruto looked on in amazement as Sai and Sakura made quaint faces at each other, each blushing and smiling.
"Yeah that's cool and all, but where's Kakashi Sensei?"
they sat and waited for an hour before actually giving up on their teacher.
"It isn't like him to be late to training." Naruto said as they walked out of the training grounds gate.
"yes it is," Sakura said gleaming still at Sai. "its just that he's never been this late before"
Naruto walked ahead of Sakura and Sai, in his usual burst of Lets-do-something-heroic way.
Sakura looked at Sai, remembering the time when they had firstly met him, and how much he used to be a jerk.
"Hes just changed so much. Hes so sensitive and artistic, could it be possible that hes changed so much. Could it be possible he has feelings for me? No that couldn't be, he was just being nice. He just painted a picture of me, but I mean that couldn't mean anything could it? No. But perhaps. "
On they're way back to the Village they bumped into an arguing Kiba and Shino. A lavender shorthaired girl walked beside them, fumbling with her fingers.
"Hey Shino Kiba and Hinata!" Shouted Naruto loudly as they walked up to them.
"H-hey N-N-Naruto-kun" piped Hinata, turning a bright shade of tomatoe red.
"whats going on?" Sakura asked
"Well nothing really, we wanted to do some training today, actually we planned to, but we haven't been able to find Kurenai Sensei, we looked everywhere and we waited at the usual meeting place for about an hour" Kiba said
"Yeah we were suppose to be training too, but Kakashi sensei never showed up either, I wonder where everyone is…" Sakura said "come on lets go see Lady Tsunade about this, she would know."
