AN: My first Naruto fanfic! How exciting for meeee. Anyway, the story is...Naruto is sort of a baka for wearing orange. Hah, ninjas shouldn't wear orange! I want to grab Naruto and shake some sense into him. BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG! I do adore him.
R&R, but not TOO harsh, please?
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but if I did, I would make Sasuke do naughty things.
"Today we're going to do a stealth exercise," Kakashi said with a bored expression in his only visible eye.
"YEAH, I'M TOTALLY GONNA BEAT THAT STUPID SASUKE!!" Naruto pumped his fists into the air. Everyone just sighed while Naruto stood there, grinning like an idiot at no one in particular.
"Ahem, well if you're done then Naruto," Kakashi paused, eyeing the ecstatic preteen, "I'd like to begin. You will all hide yourselves in the surrounding area, making sure I can't see you at all. Once you are all completely hidden, we'll be done."
"That's all?" Sakura mused.
"It's not as easy as it seems. Trust me." Kakashi replied, smiling behind his mask.
"Hn. Can we just start?" Sasuke finally spoke, looking emotionless as usual.
"Alright, but don't get too excited Sasuke. You might hurt yourself," he smiled to himself as his comment roused an eye roll from the raven haired boy, "BEGIN."
Immediately, all three genin took off in different directions, attempting to conceal themselves from their sensei. Each sat perfectly still, trying their hardest to not be seen.
"Naruto, I don't think you understand what you're supposed to do. I said hide yourself, not stick out like a sore thumb." Kakashi sighed. It always seemed like Naruto had the most problems with this sort of thing. But why, he didn't know. He hadn't quite put his finger on it yet.
"I am hiding! Dattebayo!" the blonde screamed back to his teacher. It was always him that got picked on!
"Naruto, if you were hiding I wouldn't be able to see you. Try again or we'll be here all day." Hearing this statement, both Sasuke and Sakura both inwardly cursed Naruto for being such a dork.
Naruto was seething, but sucked it up and moved. He was now in a dense bush about thirty feet to the right of his sensei. He'll never see me here, the bushes are too thick! I win!
"UZUMAKI NARUTO! I don't want to be here all day! Just hide, damnit, and quit this immature goofing around." Kakashi yelled in the direction of the bush. He could clearly see Naruto. Well, not Naruto per se, but his stupid orange jumpsuit. Then it hit him. It hit him like a sack of bricks being swung around by a body-builder.
"Naruto, with that orange jumpsuit, you'll never be able to hide. It doesn't blend in with anything. They don't make orange bushes." Their sensei thought for a second, "You know, I'm just going to stop this here. Go home. Oh, and Naruto," he pulled Naruto off to the side, "if you have to wear a ridiculous jumpsuit, at least pick one that isn't a florescent color, okay?" Naruto nodded and everyone went home.
-------------NEXT MISSION---------------
Naruto crouched low to the ground, covered by a dense bush. He was panting slightly, having been on the run from two foreign jounin that seemed to have it in for him.
"Come out, you filthy little punk." One called, looking around the clearing he was in. Naruto remained as still as possible, praying not to be seen. The jounin continued to look around, until they finally saw it. A big orange blob in one of the bushes.
"Nice jumpsuit, freak." The other jounin said, grabbing Naruto by the collar.
Damn it all, I should have listened to Kakashi-sensei. Naruto thought while being dragged away from his hiding place. He was never seen again.
