Naruto POV
"Finally the mission is over. Why do the villagers always lose their stupid animals? You would think that these people would learn what a leash is..." I mumbled to myself. I felt someone pat my head in sympathy. "Well Naruto, as ninja of the village we all need to help the villagers in anyway possible." Kakashi said smirking. "Wha! You didn't even lift a finger you lazy bum!" I yelled glaring at Kakashi.
"Of course not, why would I find lost animals when I have you guys? By the way Naruto I am not lazy...I'm just conserving energy." Kakashi asked pulling out Icha Icha Paradise. "Anyway your team work was good, although Sasuke if you would have asked for help, I'm sure the cat wouldn't have used your face as a scratching post." he added smiling under his mask. I snickered looking back at an angry Sasuke.
Kakashi stopped walking suddenly and turned around to address Team 7. "Alright squirts you're all signed up for the chunin exams, blah blah, practice because it's in a few days, blah blah, good luck." he said quickly as he disappeared. "What in the world was that?" Zane asked confused. He was the newest member to Team 7 and seemed really easy going. He sort of reminded me of Kakashi but without the perverted side. Disbelief was written across Sakura's face, and Sasuke just looked bored. "I'm going home." Sasuke said before walking off. "Oh Sasuke, don't you want to train with us?" Sakura asked smiling. "Sakura your just like Naruto, actually your below Naruto's level so just stop talking to me." Sasuke replied. Sakura's faced dropped into a depressed damn Teme! Always putting Sakura-chan down, he doesn't even care about her feelings.
"It's okay Sakura-chan you can train with me and Zane. We made plans to train after the mission anyway, I'm sure Zane wouldn't mind if you tagged along. Right?" I asked trying to uplift her gloomy mood.
"Right Sakura, you can just train with us. I'm sure I could teach you a few simple jutsu's from my village." Zane said nicely.
She agreed silently and started walking to the training grounds dejectedly. "That Teme is always putting Sakura-chan down. I wish she would get over him already." I said to Zane following behind her. "Yeah, I see what you mean." He said quietly walking beside Naruto.
"Naruto! Wait up!" I heard from behind me. We stopped walking and turned around seeing Konohamaru and his two best friends Udon and Moegi. "So Boss are we playing ninja today or what?" Konohamaru asked eagerly. "Sorry guys but I have to train for the exams." If I played ninja with them it would take all day. "But Boss you said you would!" argued Konohmaru.
"Why would a ninja "play ninja" asked Sakura sullenly. "Hey Boss who is this girl and that strange blue haired guy?" asked Konohamaru. Before I could even begin to answer that question Konohamaru seemed to come up with an answer of his own. "Boss that blue haired boy is your servant and the pink haired girl is your girlfriend! Way to go Boss!" Konohamaru yelled and exchanged awed glances with his two best friends.
"Ah yeah you brats are very perceptive." I nodded proudly. Then a hard punched knocked me on my ass. "Boss!" screamed Team Ebisu. "How dare you! You ugly bitch!" Konohamaru screamed at Sakura.
Sakura-chan then stopped breathing and looked at Konohamaru slowly. "What the hell did you say kid?" asked Sakura. I felt someone helping me up and looked up to see Zane pulling me up. "You took quite a punch there Naruto." he said laughing. I frowned "Yeah, just wait until you get your brains knocked out by her, then you'll see it's no laughing matter." Zane chuckled under his breath before looking up and frowning. "Um, Naruto you might want to go help your minions. It seems as if Sakura is chasing Konohamaru and she looks like she' about to kill him." Zane said quickly.
I turned around quickly before seeing Konohamaru run down a another alley screaming for my help. I immediately jumped into action. I had to stop Sakura from killing the Hokage's grandson. "Sakura-chan stop! Don't kill him!" I yelled at her before being knocked back to the ground. "Ow, wha!" I looked up and saw Sakura-chan standing in front of me "Sakura-chan you could have gave some kind of warning." I said. She wasn't paying any attention to me, instead she was looking at Konohamaru in some cat-mans clutches. "Konohamaru!" I yelled.
Zane POV
"Konohamaru!" I heard Naruto yelled. I looked over at a couple of Suna ninja holding Konohamaru hostage. I had been to Suns many times, but I had never seen these ninja before while exploring that hot desert village.
"You little piece of shit." said the ninja with the purple paint on his face. He was dressed in all black and seemed to have some cat ears of some sort on his head. "Don't well get yelled at later." said the blonde haired kunoichi. She had four blonde puffy ponytails in her head and a giant fan on her back. I then noticed that the purple painted faced guy had something big wrapped up on his back too.
"I'm sorry, I was just messing around." apologized Sakura. "Hey fat ass! Let go of him!" yelled Naruto. I sighed this was not going to end well. I wondered did my Sensei notice how often Naruto got into trouble when he was scouting him out. It was just my luck the demon was sealed inside of a loud mouth.
"Let's play a little before the boss comes." said the purple painted ninja. Naruto started to run towards him only to be tripped when he reached him. "You Konoha ninja are weak." he said smirking.
"Let me go!" yelled Konohamaru. "Hey! You fat pig! If you don't let him go you'll pay! Fat ass! Idiot! "yelled Naruto standing up from the spot where he had fallen. Sakura ran up to Naruto and put him in a headlock screaming for him to shut up and Naruto was slowly turning blue.
"Hey, you're annoying."said purple face to Naruto before looking back at Konohamaru "Basically I hate midget's, especially younger ones that are rude. Makes me want to kill them." he said. Everyone froze at his statement and I looked at him closely only to see that he was serious. I knew I would have to intervene sooner or later. "Oh well I'm not involved." said the blonde girl. "You bastard!" yelled Naruto.
Suddenly a rock flew out of a tree and hit the purple faced ninja in the wrist, making him drop Konohamaru who ran behind Naruto. Everyone looked up to see Sasuke sitting in a tree holding another rock. "What are you bastards doing in our village?" he asked calmly. The Uchiha had nice aim if he was able to hit his target so accurately. "Sasuke!" yelled Sakura relieved. Naruto just looked at the ground upset.
"Ah, another guy to piss me off." said purple face.
"Get lost." replied Sasuke.
Konohamaru looked over at Naruto and said "Naruto, Boss you suck. I believed in you."
Naruto looked down and smiled "No dummy I could have easily beaten him."
"Hey punk get down here, I hate show off's like you." purple face said to Sasuke, unwrapping the thing from his back. "Your going to use Karasu for this?" the blonde haired kunoichi asked surprised.
"Kankuro, stop it." said another voice from the tree. "Your an embarrassment to our village." We all looked back at the tree and saw a spiky red haired ninja balancing on the wrong side of a branch. He had light green eyes that seemed lifeless and dark circles around his eyes making them seem bigger. He had a kanji tattoo on his forehead that spelled love. He instantly put me on my guard. It was Gaara, the demon of the sand. He was another person my Sensei was interested in, but he was not our target at the moment. He was assigned to another team. I looked back at the the purple faced ninja and the blonde haired girl and came torealize who they really were. So they were the Kazekage's other children, Kankuro and Temari. Interesting turn of events. I would have to inform my Sensei of these new developments.
"Ga-Gaara." Kankuro said nervously.
"Loosing yourself in a fight, how pathetic. Why do you think we came to the Leaf Village?". asked Gaara coldly.
"Listen Gaara, the started it and-." replied Kankuro before being interrupted.
"Shut up. I'll kill you." Gaara said with causing Kankuro to flinch and tremor with fear. Sakura's face was filled with fear and Naruto just looked like he ate something spoiled. Sasuke looked at Gaara with cold and calculating eyes.
"Ok I'm sorry Gaara" Kankuro said quickly. "I am also sorry." said Temari. Gaara ignored them and looked at Sasuke "Sorry to you guys." he said lifelessly before jumping down from the tree and landing next to Kankuro.
"Let's go." Gaara said to his "siblings" and I used that word loosely. I didn't think Gaara really cared about those two at all.
"Hey, what's your name?" Sasuke asked looking at Gaara. "Who me?" said Temari smiling. "No the one with the gourd." replied Sasuke. Gaara replied turning around to look at Sasuke. "Gaara of the Desert." he said quietly before adding "I am also interested in your name?"
"It's Sasuke Uchiha" he said smirking. They stared at each other for a moment, measuring up the competition. "Hey! What about me?" said Naruto. "Not interested, lets go." Gaara commanded before disappearing with the rest of his team.
Naruto looked at Konohamaru and asked "Do I look weak?"
"Weaker than Sasuke." Konohamaru said. Naruto stood to his full height and yelled pointing at Sasuke. "Sasuke I wont loose to you!"
Everyone headed out of the alley arguing about who the better ninja was. I followed at a slower pace noticing three sound ninja hidden in a tree. So, Orochimaru is here? I hope that snake didn't plan on messing up my mission or else I would be forced to reveal myself to early. It seemed like Konoha was the place to be this time of year.
