Naruto sat impatiently in the classroom as he and his new teammates waited for their new sensei that, by the way, was four hours late. But, what really annoyed him was how Sakura hung all over Sasuke. Twirling her hair, blushing, and constantly agreeing with Sasuke when she disagreed before he said something.
"Girls are so stupid," he mumbled under his breath. Sakura frowned and stared at Naruto.
"What's your problem?" she asked him, leaning towards him with a frown. Naruto stood to his feet and glared at her. He used his sexy ninjustsu.
"Oh Sasuke-Kun! I'm an airhead who does everything to please and impress you as long as you notice me!" He said in a girly voice twisting his body around.
"Why you!" Sakura shouted as she struck Naruto in the face. The boy stumbled backward into the teacher's desk, knocking it back with a harsh scratching noise. He grabbed his now throbbing cheek, glaring at the girl with a harsh stare. He wanted so badly to strike her back, but he knew Sasuke would jump in and defend her. Suddenly the classroom door slide open and in stepped a gray haired man with a mask on his face and only one of his eyes showing. There was a puff of smoke and Naruto turned back into himself.
"Good Morning Class." He said to the three students who stared blankly at the man.
"I'm your new Sensei!"
-----
The three sat in a row on the roof of the school. Naruto sat in the middle and Sasuke and Sakura at the end of him. The gray haired man stood with an orange book in his right hand.
"My name is Kakashi and I will be you trainer from here on." He said in a mono toned voice. "Today since we don't have time to train, I would like each of you to tell me your names and why you want to be a ninja," Kakashi pointed to Sakura who gave a smile and blushed.
"My name is Haruna Sakura, and I want to become a Konoichi because I want to prove to everyone female ninja can be great to." Sakura gave a big smile, she was hoping to impress Sasuke but he was indifferent in her quest to be a female ninja. Kakashi looked at Sasuke and rubbed his chin.
"That symbol, you must be an Uchiha." Sasuke opened up his eyes and gave a nod.
"Uchiha Sasuke, my motive to be converted into a ninja is so I can gain power and revenge my family." For a moment a small hint of anger could be seen in Sasuke eyes and as fast as it came to it was gone.
"Interesting." Kakashi pointed at Naruto who was staring off in the distance.
"Uzamaki Naruto and I want to become a
Ninja so I can grow up and become the next Hokage in order to gain
respect from the villagers!"
"What kind of ninja wears
orange?" Kakashi thought to himself.
Sakura gave a snicker at Naruto, the thought of him becoming Hokage amused her.
"Hokage?" Sakura murmured. "You can barely surpass as a low level ninja. Your jutsu is half backed and your tactics tsh Don't get me started."
Naruto's heart sunk at those words. He never expected one of his own teammates to attack him in such a way. His head dropped a little.
"One shouldn't point out another's flaws when they have a few themselves such as close range combat." Sasuke said, looking at Sakura. Kakashi was too busy reading his Echi Echi Paradise to care what the three were saying. Sakura's face turned red and she dropped her head knowing what she did was wrong.
"We'll
look at the time" Kakashi said as he jumped to the ledge of the
building. "I have things to do and people to see, but meet in the
forest at 12noon three days from now." Kakashi gave a little wave
and leapt ofd the side of the building, to another, and into the
distance. The three students stood to their feet and began to head
off. It was around dinner time and Naruto had lost all taste for
food.

Naruto was at the outskirts of the forest, laying there tired and hungry. He was much too depressed to get up. He began to drift back into his work when something hit him in the head, covering it with water. Naruto's eyes popped and his arms waved around in a state of confusion. In front of him were three boys who were pelting him with water balloons.
"HEY!" he shouted as he stood to his feet. "What the hell is your problem?"
The boys began to laugh at Naruto, leaving the boy confused and speechless.
"What kind of freak ninja wears orange!" said a boy with goggles on his head.
"Are you looking to get killed on a mission?" One boy with an eye patch asked.
Naruto lunged towards the boy and grabbed him, but in a puff of smoke and in place of the boy was a tree trunk. The blond haired boy fell flat on his face, being pelted with even more water balloons, one after another. Naruto grabbed his nose which was now bleeding from the fall. His closed his eyes and tears began to flow from them. But, then the pelting stopped. He heard to screams and the two boys fell out of the tree. Naruto lifted his head with his hands to his nose and saw Sasuke holding one of the boys by the collar.
"If I ever catch you harassing my teammate again, I swear I will put you through hell and back!" Sasuke let go of the boy's collar and pushed him to the ground. The boys all turned and ran, hoping Sasuke wouldn't come after them. Sasuke dropped down towards Naruto and looked at the boy's face.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked the crying boy.
Naruto looked into Sasuke's eyes and for a moment he saw him and not the stuck up guy he thought he was.
"Here.." Sasuke pulled off his white wrist cuff and moved Naruto's hand from his nose; he placed the white cloth against his nose and held it. Naruto stopped crying and his nose stopped bleeding because the blood began to rush to his cheeks. Naruto grew embarrassed and smacked Sasuke's hand away. He stood to his feet and took off down the streets.
"What was that about!" Naruto shouted to himself. "You so weak you could even fend of a few kids taunting you."
Naruto slammed the door behind him; he hadn't realized that he had run all the way home. He looked down at his hand and so that he was still holding Sasuke's arm band he had used to stop his nose from bleeding. Naruto was more confused then ever, wasn't Sasuke his rival, he was mister emotionless.
But, back there and...
Naruto's heart was pounding in his chest, but his mind was in tangles. Why was Sasuke being so nice? Why was he helping him? Why was he feeling so weak? Why was he feeling this way towards another boy? Naruto slide down his door landing on the floor with a soft plop.
What was he to do?
