I don't own Naruto. I just own a nice ring lamp, a binder (covered in holographic tape) that has a huge as script in it, and my OC.


Kotetsu felt panic as his foot slipped on the tree. He hit the ground. Hard.

Groaning in pain, Kotetsu looked up to see a little kid staring at him in surprise. He couldn't tell if the kid was a guy or a girl, but going by his clothes Kotetsu thought he might be a boy.

Izumo landed on the ground a few seconds later, "You idiot. You nearly fell on a kid."

Kotetsu stood up and shrugged, "Sorry, kid."

Izumo slapped the back of Kotetsu's head (ouch). "Stupid."

He rubbed the back of his head as he stretched. Hitting the ground really hurts. Izumo said something to the kid, though he missed it. But he did hear the kid say something about ruining his concentration.

"Your concentration? What were you doing," Kotetsu asked, looking at the leaves surrounding him.

"A chakra exercise."

He and Izumo glanced at each other, eyebrows raised, then looked back at the kid. Was he in the academy already? He looked really, really young. Maybe he was a clan kid: clans tend to start training their kids by the time they can walk. But this little kid had pink hair and green eyes. He would've heard of a clan that looked like that.

"Will you show us," they asked at the same time.

"Um, sure." He picked up one of the many leaves that were scattered around him before sticking it to his forehead. Kotetsu felt his eyes widen. How old even was this kid?

"Woah. That's really advanced for somebody your age, kid," he heard Izumo say, echoing Kotetsu's thoughts.

"Thanks, stranger."

Kotetsu smiled apologetically, seeing Izumo do the say. They never did introduce themselves, did they?

"My name is Izumo, and this is Kotetsu." He waved when Izumo introduced him.

"I'm Sakura."

"It's nice to meet you," Kotetsu added. Was the kid actually a girl?

"It's been interesting," Izumo added before turning to Kotetsu. "We should leave her alone, now. C'mon."

Remembering that they were supposed to be training, he prepared to leap back into the trees. Before he could, though, he heard a small voice say, "He."

They both turned to the kid and said at the same time, "What?"

"He," Sakura repeated. "I'm a boy."

Kotetsu cringed. Whoops, he thought as he crouched down next to the kid. At least Kotetsu's first guess had been right. He apologized for the mistake, "Sorry about that."

Izumo mirrored him on Sakura's other side, "Yeah, sorry. I won't make that mistake again."

"It's fine, as long as you don't do it again I won't hold it against you."

He smiled at Sakura and patted the younger boy on the head before standing up. They should really get back to training. Izumo had the same thought.

"We really do have to go now, though. See ya around, Sakura."

"Later," Kotetsu called behind him, already starting to leap. Sakura was talented, but he was also pretty weird.

"Bye." The word was lost to the wind as Kotetsu tried not to slip and fall again.
