I don't own Naruto. But when I think about it…I probably don't want to.

"Naruto! Stop messing with your headband!"

"Oh come on Sakura," the blonde ninja answered back exasperatedly, "I was just trying it on a few different ways."

"Well it's annoying ," Sakura said with a disdainful sniff. "Besides when you wear it anywhere but your forehead you look stupid."

"But Sakura," Naruto whined. She sent him another glare. He pouted and sat on the ground. "Why do we even wear stupid headbands," he muttered.

"It's the proof you're a ninja of Konoha stupid!"

"Yeah, I know. But why on a dumb forehead protector? I mean it's not like some S ranked nin is just gonna pop out of the ground and attack your forehead. Right, Sasuke?" He turned to the quiet teen for backup.

Needless to say, when he saw Sasuke assume the fetal position chanting something about his elder brother, Naruto never broached the topic again.

~Author's Note~

First Naruto fanfic. I use the word stupid a lot… Woot for Itachi.
