You know when the sky is bright by the tightness of your skin
And you know when it is dark by the sounds of nightlings
You understand the feel of rush and abandon when you fly
And you understand being bound to the ground
With no idea of how or why you fell
Audacity
By: Kanashii Kopper
"Simple is as simple does, and Uzumaki Naruto definitely fell under the category of simple. The guy ate, slept, and downright breathed ramen. If you had to bribe the
blond ninja, the way to do it was through his stomach - that is, if you were dumb enough to try to bribe him in the first place. For one considered the most pathetic ninja in Konohagakure, the only thing more important to him than his o-so-precious ramen was his honor as a ninja.
And do ninjas take bribes? No, not the great ones that went on to become the future hokage. So in dealing with someone so simple, you will need to remember such a little complication...as well as a few others. Maybe? Don't know, depends on who you are.
Are you the type to bribe, cheat, laze about, or be overly superior about your own ninja skills, perhaps one that just views all others as unreliable? If so, than Uzumaki Naruto won't be such a simpleton around you. In fact he'll make your life very interesting (annoying as he is) if not absolutely hellish (a.k.a.
dangerous).
So if you are the type listed above, it's highly suggested that either you learn to curb your tongue or you get out of his way. Because he will come for you. As the angel that fell only to be bound as a demon, he knows where to find you. His power knows no bounds.
"What the hell is this?" questioned Uchiha Sasuke. He was of course referring to the above advertisement for a new book coming out in a few months, one that
he couldn't believe acually found a writer, much less a publisher.
"How did anyone ever get the idea that a dobe like him could be a threat to anyone's
personality?"
"Hey! I can so change peoples' personalities, just take a look at Gaara! He's almost friendly these days," Naruto said, walking up behind Sasuke to take a
look at what the local genius had been muttering about.
"I'm questioning your ability to change something fundamental to a person, not whether you can corner them and drive them so insane that they become sane. There's a difference between being outrageously annoying and effectively intimidating," stated Sasuke, "and you're the former, not the latter."
"Am not!"
"Hn. You're sure?" Poor little Naruto, Sasuke just had and idea.
"Yes!"
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"Positive?"
"Yes!" Naruto was beginning to get louder, the more frustrated he got at the fact the Sasuke didn't seem to believe in the power of Konoha'a future Hokage.
"Absolutely sure?" Sasuke definitely felt a smirk hanging about his mouth about now. Last one...
"YES!"
"That you're annoying?"
"YES!!!!!"
Sasuke snickered as Naruto paused a moment to think back on the last question.
"Arrgh! Sasuke you stupid jerk! I am not annoying!" This was yelled by the blond as he chased his black-haired friend through the store sporting a
joke adverisment put out by Hatake Kakashi one very drunken night. Who'd of thought the man had the audacity in him to be so dramatic.
Can't wait 'til Iruka sees it.
The End
A/N: The poetic spurt at the beginning belongs to me and it's really only there because my brain isn't exactly working right at the moment.
Otherwise please send me a review even if it is only a flame.
11/04/09:Well, this is a reload of something 4 years old. I went through and edited it (definitely needed). I wrote it right after the episode of Gaara being carried off by his siblings at the end of the Chuunin Exams, and with info gleaned from other fics written at the time. *sigh* This fic is extremely immature...
