I have the enemy in my sights. I'll get this one, and be known as the best ninja in the world! Not even Sasuke can deny my amazing stealth skills! I decide that it's time to put my new jutsu into play, the one I have been working on for months and never get a chance to test out. It's one of my most lethal, aside from the Rasengan. But first I have to get close...
Creep, creep, creak! I freeze as a branch snaps underfoot, one knee raised up high, ready to inch my crawling forward. I'm stuck in an unnatural and very uncomfortable pose (leg muscles...beginning to cramp...) as the enemy finally takes notice and swings his head to-and-fro, but then he shrugs to himself and continues walking down the park path, dismissing it as a clumsy animal.
How dare he think the greatest ninja in the world a clumsy animal?! I'll get him! I decide to pick up my pace. I bound forward on four feet rather than shuffling in the underbrush. It was now or never! I burst out of the leaves and fly through the air-
"Ahhhhh!"
"POUNCE ATTACK!"
-and tackle him into the plush green grass.
"One million years of pain!" I shout the name of my perfected attack and begin my work, digging my fingers in his sides in rapid volleys.
"Na-ahahaha! Naruto! Ahaha! Stop! I can't breathe!" Iruka-sensei cries in surrender and I jump to my feet. My jutsu was a success! No one can beat me now! Not even Sasuke! And now Sakura will gush over my coolness and declare herself my first fangirl!
He clambers to his feet as well, flush and snickering at the after effects of my tickle attack. "You have too much time on your hands, kid." he praises me by ruffling my hair. "Speaking of time, don't you have to meet Kakashi-sensei and your team for your next mission?"
"Mission? Oh yeah." This time it's a C-ranker! I'll be able to show off my greatness then! I look down at my watch. It's almost noon. "Oh, crap! I was supposed to meet them half an hour ago!" Panicked, I dash off down the cobbled stone path. "Bye, Iruka-sensei! Thanks for letting me try out my new technique on you!"
"New technique?" He snorts and shakes his head in amiable disbelief.
