THE FIRST ATTEMPT
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or related characters, Masashi Kishimoto does...
Uzumaki Naruto woke up one day, just like he does everyday. He did his morning exercises, just like he does everyday. Because he had been doing them so religiously, he rewarded himself by jumping on his bed an extra 100 times.
On his way out to meet up with the genin cell no. 7, the people living the floor below him immediately bombarded him will chastisement ("You stupid brat! The whole ceiling was shaking and we were sure it was going to cave in!"). Naruto escaped unscathed, saying, "You can't do anything to an excellent ninja like myself! You guys can punish me when you catch me!" So he ran off to meet with his cell.
Kakashi, his sensei, was late once again, which ticked off Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. Naruto was thinking, He's probably reading that stupid book, Make-Out Paradise or whatever it is. What could be so great about a BOOK? And quite suddenly, Naruto was thinking, yes my friends, Naruto was thinking. He was not only thinking, but scheming. How might I get a glimpse of that book? was on Naruto's mind. He decided he must treat this as a secret assignment, one that no one else could know. It could be all over if Sasuke or Sakura told Kakashi what he was up to. This is gonna be like stealing information from another ninja, thought Naruto, I gotta think of it like that, or it could be all over! I must know why he thinks a book is funnier than I am!
Eventually, Kakashi showed up. The day started with a warm up exercise which pitted the three in-training shinobi against the sensei. Naruto knew all too well that when all three of them came at Kakashi, he had no time to read his book. He usually tossed it into the air, only to catch it after he whupped them all good.
In a three-pronged formation, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke went straight for Kakashi (it was their best bet) from different directions. And the master threw his book into the air. Yes! Thought Naruto, Now's my chance!
The result was, Naruto jumped out of formation and headed for the book, only to crash into Sakura, who had been closing in from above. They crumpled in a heap on the ground, and Kakashi, slightly confused, had already pinned Sasuke to the ground.
"What the HELL, Naruto?" shouted the enraged kunoichi.
"I've never seen that approach to tackle the enemy," said Kakashi quizzically.
"Sorry," said Naruto, hoping Kakashi didn't figure out his plan already.
"Uh, well, let's get on, shall we?" invited the sensei.
The four headed out for a mission. Naruto decided not to try to steal the book anymore times today, just in case.
