To Say It:

It's Called Acting

"Hey, Sakura-chan, get your head out of the books already," a certain blond ninja called at her.

She was sitting down on the ground next to a tree in the training ground as she snapped her head up at the boy.

"Not now. I'm busy."

"No, you're not. You're reading." He snatched up the book out of Sakura's hands in a flash. "Wat'cha reading, anyway?"

He closed the book and looked at the cover where the words 'History of the Hokages' were neatly written.

"Ew. You're reading a HISTORY book," he said as he threw the book down at the dirt ground.

Sakura scoffed at him as she picked up the book. "Seriously, don't you ever care about anything besides being the best?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, how do you expect to be Hokage unless you understand your basics?" She layed down her book next to the tree, seemingly forgotten.

"Sakura...?"

Sakura started to stand up, "You always act like you could just charm your way up to being respected. Well, then why don't you?"

"I'm sorry for throwing your precious book, Sakura!" He started to back up, "I understand now; just don't hit me!" The boy threw his hands to his head as he fell down, cowering at the pink haired kunoichi.

Sakura continued to walk over to the boy until she towered over him. She started to close in her face against his with a glare that could only be described as 'Tsunade's Death Stare' or, so the boy's Ero Sennin described it as such.

The boy knew that there was no human power available that could save him now, when...

Sakura started to crack up!

"Sakura-chan?"

She fell to the ground, trying to gasp for breath. Once she calmed down, she said, "You should've seen the look on your face!!"

"W-wait... so you're not going to kill me?"

"Kill you? Naruto, it's called acting."

A little light bulb flickered in the boy's head; she was playing all along!

He put his hands down from his head and said, "Very funny, Sakura-chan. But, now, it's my turn." Uh-oh..

Within a minute, he had Sakura under him, tickling her; Sakura trying to gasp for breath.

"HA HA HA HA HA! P - PLEASE! HA HA HA HA HA! N- NARUTO!"

Naruto.

Yeah, i'm starting it again. This is going to be the only chapter that's going to be the same. Trust me on that.
