Day One
Sakura was out shopping for kunai. She was working
out how many
she could get, but always got different answers. She was
about to give up
and only buy two packs when Naruto walked in. Hi, Sakura-kun. What are you doing?" His overly
cheery voice had
her inner self beating him to a pulp.
" Well, Naruto-kun, if you must know I am trying to figure out
how many
kunai packs I can buy with 5050 yen with today's sale." She
snickered in her
head thinking of how Naruto would try to figure it out and fail miserably.
" Well, that's simple. You can get 5 and you save 250
yen."(about $2.) he
said simply. She stared and did the math in her head to find
his work right.
" How did you figure that out so quickly?" She stared in
disbelief
" Well, I come here to buy all my Ramen and they always
have sales like
this, so I had to work on my math" he said plainly, like it was
obvious.
Sakuras inner self thought, "Well, duh, that's why his basket is full of instant ramen."
"That problem was quite simple, Sakura. It is sad to
think you could
not do it in your head and Naruto could." The voice came
from nowhere.
Both of them recognized it right away as Sasuke. They
looked around,
wondering where he was while he kept talking.
" All you had to do is divide 5050 by 950, getting about 5.4.
Take .02 x5
getting 250 yen that you save. Put simple m/cg.02s. His
cool voice cleared
the equation. They both spotted him at once on the ceiling.
" What are you doing !" Naruto shouted at him. You could
see Sasuke's
irritation, as he replied training. They started their daily
routine as they both
shouted at each other. Sakura just stood there awestruck by
how they could
just forget everything while they argued. She was about to
leave and pay for
the kunai when it was silent. She looked to see that both of
them had sand
covering their mouths as they fought to rip it off. Gaara
came up behind her
and gripped her shoulder. She let out a high pitched scream
as she flung her
self around and hit the person in front of her. Gaara's sand
protected him
from Sakuras blind strike.
"Gaara-kun, it was just you, you scared me." Sakura was
very scared
because of Gaara's past and apologized many times.
"It's fine. I should not have snuck up on you. My fault
anyway. I heard
those two arguing across the store, so I came over to break
their love
quarrel," he said jokingly. Sakuras let out a slight laugh at
the remark.
" I mean they're so alike and always arguing. You think they
were married."
He said this more as a fact then a joke. Both Sasuke and
Naruto broke out
of the sand just then.
" I'm going kill you, Gaara." They said this at the same time
and realized
Gaara was right. They were acting like idiots. They hung
their heads in
shame as they left the store.
"They act like four-year olds," Sakura said, as she watched
them get in another fight ten feet from the store.
"Well, I've got to get going, Sakura. See you around," he
said while waving his good bye.
"Oh, ok. Bye, and thanks for stopping their fight." she called
after him. He just nodded as he left the store.
Day Two
Kakashi had wanted to see them that day because he had
special missions for each of them. Like always Sasuke was
the first one to get there. Then Sakura and of course the
final one was Naruto. Hours later Kakashi arrived, and they
yelled at him for being so late.
" Well I am sorry for being late but the fact that I am
means I have to tell you your missions quickly." he said with
the stupid smile on his face (even if he wears a mask you
can tell he is smiling.)
"Sakura you have been summoned by Iruka to help
with his class." He shoved Sakura away.
"Sasuke you're coming with me, oh, and Naruto you
can do what ever you want." He said with the same smile.
You could see how disappointed Naruto felt that no one
needed him.
Sakura was on her way to the Ninja academy when she
heard Iruka yelling at some students that were ditching.
Konahamoru and his friends came running. She grabbed
them and dragged them back to school.
"Sakura thank goodness! I thought you would never get
here. first I need help with those three and then I need to
teach them why math matters to a ninja," he said with relief.
"No problem I came to help, and just one of my
services is catching ninja brats."
"We are not brats!" Konahamoru yelled
"Well, then why don't you stay in class?" Sakura had hit
the nerve. All of them shut up after that and took their seats
as the rest of the class burst out laughing at them.
"Now, Sakura is one of the top graduates, and she will
be helping us today." He said it as if Sakura was his pride
and joy.
"What does math have to do with being a ninja?" some
students asked
"Well, almost everything has math in I. When in the
field you have to account for wind, ice, and your enemies
abilities. For example when there is an enemy 25 feet from
you and you have a varied wind, for every 1.5 mile per hour
wind you need to trough your kunai .5 feet farther from your
enemy and it needs .5 more power to get to your enemy and
the wind is 10.8 miles per hour. How much more power do
you need and how far off must you though the kunai? " She
had them in her trap. No one spoke a word. Even Iruka was
puzzled.
" Simple! All you have to do is 10.8/1.5x.5how far from
the target you have to throw it and you need to do 10.8x.5 is
how much more power you need. Can you figure it out
now?" The voice asked the students. (off36 power21.6)
"NARUTO?" Iruka and Sakura said as they saw him
climbing in from the window.
"Hi Sakura and Iruka sansei." Naruto proclaimed.
"Hiya, boss. How are you?" Konahamaru greeted
Naruto.
"Hi, Konahamoru. I'm fine how you been?"
"Not bad Not bad."
"Excuse me, but we are in the middle of a lesson
here!!!" Sakura shouted at them.
"Sorry, Sakura-kun." Naruto replied.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Sakura asked
Naruto
"Well, Kakashi said I could help you or Sasuke on your
missions and I rather help you." he said openly. She started
the lesson up again and started with order of operation.
"Ok, class, I am going to give you 15 problems, and
you need to solve them for homework, so copy them down.
Oh, and the field problem, if you can solve it, it is extra
credit," she said as the class voiced their disapproval.
" As Sakura was saying the problems, she wrote them
down on the chalk board. She finished with the writing and turned to the class to see all of them copying it down. The
bell rang, and the students ran out of class.
"Sakura, will you come tomorrow as well?" Iruka asked
in a pleading way.
Day Three
Sakura was lying in bed thinking about the
conversation she had with Gaara in the store a little time ago
and about what he said with Sasuke and Naruto being
married. Two images popped in her head which made her
burst out laughing. One that came up was of Sasuke
dressed like a maid cleaning after Naruto. The other had
Sasuke in an apron baking cookies for Naruto. She meet
Gaara that day and told him her Naruto-Sasuke married
images. He, too, could not resist cracking up at that.
She went to the school and finished helping with the
class. No one got the extra credit right except Naruto, but
that did not count. The rest of the day was rather uneventful,
except for a few stupid Naruto moments, like when he lost
his ramen coupon and almost literally stripped before the
ramen stand, only to find it under his head band, and stuff
like that.
Day 4
She leaned in and kissed Gaara on the lips, it was
great! He pulled her close she could explode with her
feelings she never wanted to leave his strong secure arms.
Sakura awoke from her dream and smacked her head
she liked Sasuke not Gaara right? She got out of bed and
headed to the sink she started to describe her love Sasuke.
His light blue eyes mysterious past. His red hair and the
tattoo of love on his forehead. Dame she was describing
Gaara not Sasuke. Now lets see, his black eyes his cool guy
attitude and his black hair.
She tock a shower got dressed and was heading out.
She opened the door and hit someone on the other side.
"Ouch!" She went outside to see Naruto.
"Sorry Naruto I didn't see you."
"Don't worry I will be fine."
"What are you doing here anyway?"
"Kakashi told me to get you because he wants to talk to
us."
"Well lets get going she grabbed Naruto and headed to
the spot they always meet Kakashi." Sasuke and Kakashi
were already there waiting for them when they got there.
"Well this is a first I am here before you two." Kakashi
said with a smile.
