Summary: Everyone has a special talent. All you need to do is find it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Author's Note: Haven't wroten one in a while. Anyway I've been on an angst streak recently. This may not look angst material, read the last few lines; they strike a cord. I'm probably going to write a Sasuke angst equivalent soon. Maybe. Hopefully.
Special
Everyone has a special talent, something that makes them special. All you need to do is find it. It was always the first thing Iruka-sensei said, when he saw Naruto walk by, head down and a dark cloud following close by.
( And NO, the Sexy no Jutsu is not a special talent!)
Iruka-sensei would always end the 'feel good-raise your self-esteem' speech, by squeezing the blond's shoulder and say, "Dig deeper; you'll find it." Always.
He knew everybody else's special talents. Kakashi-Sensei's special talent was, preaching ninja lessons, while still holding that book (and peeking through it ever so often) with a totally straight face.
Sakura-Chan's special talent was reciting the rules from the Ninja Handbook, foreword and backwards, with her eyes closed.
Sasuke's (bastard) special talent was to cause huge fights with hair, fists, and sometimes, even teeth flying, just by sitting down.
So after one particular bad mission, including Sasuke stealing the spotlight, Sakura-Chan clinging to him (with the added "hn" every five minutes), Kakashi-Sensei with the "try harder" speech, and a soaking wet Naruto. The blond closed the door and searched and searched and searched. What could be his special talent? And then he knew.
His super special talent was the ability to hate himself more than anyone ever could.
Smile for the camera.
