Naruto – Chapter 2
Sasuke and Sakura! Friends or Foes?
General POV
After dismissing class for the rest of the day, many of the new teams left together to have lunch with their new teammates.
Squad 7, however; is not as team-friendly, as all the students left for lunch, Sasuke left the Academy rather quickly leaving his other teammates behind.
Sakura left right behind Sauske trying to catch him, Naruto and Toshirama headed outside as well, Sakura was looking around as Naruto asked her, "Hey, Sakura since all of us are going to on the same team, I thought maybe we could all have lunch together and all three of us could get to know each other."
Sakura turned around and when she heard Naruto she instantly regretted turning around, but Toshirama was there so it evened out but the thought of being with Naruto longer than she needed was not on her mind, "Why would I eat lunch with you, how could that thought even cross your mind?"
Naruto tried to answer, "But we're all in the same group, so I just thought…" Sakura replied before he tried to finish, "Naruto, you're annoying." Sakura left with a scowl on her face as she left calling Sasuke's name.
Toshirama frowned hearing Sakura say that, "Just like when we were all kids…" He looked at Naruto who looked disappointed as Sakura walked off.
Speaking up and breaking his friends stupor, Toshirama said, "Come on Naruto, let's get some lunch, better now than never, and besides I want to know how you graduated exactly?" The last part he said while raising his eyebrow.
Looking at his "big bro" Naruto chuckled sheepishly and scratched the back of head, the two walked off and were now at the local cafeteria where many ninja and civilians came to eat.
"The cafeteria, really big bro are you sure about this, why don't we get some ramen instead?" Naruto implored
"Naruto, I know your love for ramen is nearly unconditional, but trying something different won't be the end of things. Just try it." Toshirama asked.
Naruto had a frown on his face before he relented, "Alright… I'll try it."
The two entered and the waitress looked up to see her most loyal customer, "Toshirama, is that you?" Her name was Aiko and she ran the cafeteria ever since her father passed away and running the business fell on her.
Aiko was a young woman in her early twenties, with light brown hair and was never seen without her white shirt and green apron combo. She was quite beautiful too which she seemed to use to advertise to her customers.
"Yeah, its me alright and I brought a friend with me again." Toshirama said as Naruto looked up at the girl in front of him.
"I see you've also graduated, well with such good news, how about a 10% discount for today only?" Aiko asked.
"Well can't pass up a good deal when you see one, anything peak your interest Naruto?" Toshirama sked his new teammate.
Naruto studied the board for a few moments and saw an option that he seemed to interest him, "I'll try the Hidden Leaf Power lunch."
"That's my favorite too, we'll take two normal Power lunches, please." Toshirama asked as he looked into his wallet.
"Alright, for two its normally 1000 ryo, but with your discount it'll only cost you, 900 ryo today Toshirama." Aiko said as she brought out two lunch boxes.
Paying for the meals, Toshirama handed over the money as the duo now left to enjoy their food.
After eating, the two decided to spend some time talking and the topic of Sakura came up again, "What a pain, I get into the same group as Sakura and you big bro and then HE gets in our group, there's got to be a way to deal with this."
"You can't plan for everything Naruto, just look on the bright side Sakura is in our group so don't lose hope yet." Toshirama answered. The two stopped when they looked across the rooftop to see one, Sasuke Uchiha enjoying his lunch in peace.
The two boys looked at each other and shared mischievous grins as they had come up with the perfect plan. "Got it" Both said as they moved to enact their plan.
With Squad 10
The new Ino-Shika-Cho formation were having lunch together as both Ino and Shikamaru were arguing they looked across the way to see both Naruto and Toshirama sneaking up on Sasuke's window from both sides.
"Huh?" Shikamaru said as he looked across the way at the two which caught Ino's attention.
"Naruto and… Toshirama?" The last one caught Ino off guard. "Why would Toshirama be with that loser?" Ino said as she looked across the way to see him.
After a few more moments, Naruto and Toshirama both leapt through the window and surprised Sasuke.
Sounds of struggling could be heard as they could hear all three of them yelling at each other, "Naruto, what are you… Toshirama?" Sasuke tried to say but Toshirama spoke up, "Oh, piped down Mr. Brooding it's for your own good."
Ino gasped, "Naruto if you so much as scratch either Sasuke or Toshirama you'll on my enemy list for good."
A few more seconds of struggling could be heard as the sounds died and the window opened to reveal Sasuke and… Toshirama exiting the window.
Ino had a smile on her face, "Ha, I knew Toshirama would want nothing to do with that knucklehead and Sasuke beat him, no contest."
"He beat Naruto without breaking a sweat, but I guess that would be easy if Toshirama helped him." Shikamaru said, but something inside him didn't sit well.
The team went back to eating and tried to forget about it.
With 'Sasuke' and Toshirama
Toshirama POV
As "Sasuke" and Toshirama walked away, the latter spoke up, "Alright, 'my Sasuke' this is your turn, I'll be watching from the bushes good luck." 'Sasuke' nodded his head and the two went off to find Sakura.
The two found Sakura sitting at one of the park benches finishing her lunch and from the way she looked to be thinking about something.
Naruto was already standing in position, just waiting for Sakura to look over in his general direction, it was quite surprising how much Naruto pulled off acting like Sasuke from his voice to his manner of walking.
Naruto in his own way was a genius and Toshirama knew that, how far Naruto could go… that's anyone's guess.
As Toshirama was watching from the bushes, he saw that Sakura and "Sauske" were speaking he heard the two's conversation about hoe Sakura felt about Naruto.
"I want to ask you something, Naruto, what do you think of him." 'Sasuke' asked Sakura as she listened to him.
"He knows about my feelings, and he purposefully tries to get in the way, he enjoys interfering and making me feel bad. Naruto, he doesn't understand one single thing about me, he's just annoying." Sakura began explaining how she felt about Naruto.
Toshirama couldn't help but frown at Sakura's blunt comments about Naruto not knowing the real truth about why he act the way he does
"A-all I really want, is for you to accept me Sasuke, that's all." Sakura finished. 'Sasuke' replied, "You just want me to accept you? Sakura know with a small blush continues, "Yes that's how I feel, I'd do anything for that." Sakura then starts to move closer to 'Sasuke' as she brings her lips closer to him.
"Its true I'm desperate", Sakura said as she continued to hold her palce.
Naruto not expecting the situation thought to himself, "I – I finally realize why I like Sakura so much, I finally understand."
Sakura and 'Sasuke' lips were almost touching until he began grabbing at his stomach.
Toshirama immediately knew what the problem was, "Naruto, did you even check your expiration dates"
'Sasuke' got up and began running off to find a bathroom as it was now just Sakura at the bench waiting for him and Toshirama in the bushes, wanting to figure something out for himself he merged on the other side and made it look like he was going for a walk.
"Huh, Sakura I didn't know you were here, do you enjoy the park to?" Toshirama asked his new teammate.
"Oh, Toshirama, actually yes, sometimes, I used to come out here more often when I was a kid and find flowers I liked and brought them home for my parents.
Toshirama then asked the question that was on his mind, "Tell me something Sakura, why is it that you seem to dislike Naruto so much?"
Sakura was quite surprised that Toshirama of all people would ask about Naruto, "Well you see he's just a big nuisance, he gets in the way and has nothing to control himself, like he wasn't raised right or…"
"I don't think that's the case." Toshirama interrupted Sakura who looked surprised at Toshirama's response.
"W-what do you mean?" Sakura asked. "I've known Naruto since during the Academy, in fact the way he is now and back then are very different, he was very secretive and whenever I saw him, I tried to talk with him he'd run away."
Sakura responded, "What do you mean? Toshirama replied, "Well its quite a long story, but what I can say about Naruto is… if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be who I am today."
Sakura let out a small gasp in shock at Toshirama's confession, the boy she thought was always a gentleman and one of her models to be a perfect shinobi, was influenced by Naruto?
"Well, like I said that's the really short part of it, maybe another time I'll tell you all of it, that's a promise. Also, if you do see Naruto, for me at least could give him a chance, please" Toshirama said as he put his hands together. Sakura contemplated for a few seconds then said, "O-okay, I'll try."
With that promise, Toshirama went his own way and tried to find Naruto, where was he you ask…
Stuck on the commode, "Let me guess, that milk carton's expired isn't it?" Naruto suffering on the other side of the door yelled at his friend, "Shut up, your not the one whose suffering!"
Toshirama let off with one of his trademark hearty laughing fits, "Ha-ha-ha-ha, this is what you get it told you to check your food every once and a while."
After a few more minutes, Naruto's diarrhea subsided, and he came out looking irritated.
"Are you doing okay in there, poop-boy?" Toshirama said as he continued chuckling.
Naruto was too annoyed to fire back as he closed the door.
"Well lunch is ending soon, let's head back to the Academy." Toshirama said as Naruto nodded and the teo made their way back to the Academy, Toshirama stopped Naruto and asked him about how he got his headband.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me, how exactly did you pass the exam, what happened after you left with Mizuki that day?" Toshirama sked his best friend.
At that request Naruto's face turned into a slight frown but became a smile once more as Naruto began recounting the events of that night to his friend; about how Mizuki was actually a traitor and tricked Naruto into stealing the Forbidden Scroll.
"After I took the scroll, I learned this l really cool technique called the Shadow Clone Jutsu its not like that old Clone technique where you make one or two, with this I was able to make almost hundred different copies of me." Naruto replied as he explained his experience learning the technique.
"Really, mind if you show me?" Toshirama asked. "Sure, thing big bro, so all you have to do is cross the first the two fingers of your hands like this…" Naruto showed as he made a cross with his hands.
Toshirama did the same thing and focused his chakra, when both of them said, "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" A large puff of smoke filled the room until it subsided, over 20 other Naruto's beside himself and when Toshirama looked beside him he saw a small army of clones looking at him about 20 in total as well.
"Wow, this really is a cool technique, thanks Naruto!" Toshirama said as all the clones disappeared.
General POV
Naruto and Toshirama made it back to the Academy, where Sasuke and Sakura were already waiting. After a short while all other teams had been picked up by their jonin instructors and now even Iruka had left, Squad 7 was now the only group waiting for their Jonin sensei.
After waiting for so long, Naruto became bored and in a small way to prank their now late teacher Naruto put an eraser on top of the door so that when someone opened it, the eraser would fall on their head.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" Sakura said. "This is what our sensei gets for being late, when he opens the door, then wham, SURPRISE!" Naruto responded.
"You know you shouldn't do things like that you'll get in trouble." Is what was saying in the outside, but inside, "CHA! I LIVE FOR STUFF LIKE THIS!"
Sasuke wasn't convinced, "Out instructor's a Jonin, an elite ninja, do you really think he'll fall for something like that?"
Toshirama spoke up, "Well Sasuke, if he does fall for it then that's his own fault, accidental or not."
Sasuke looked at this teammate and looked away with a 'hmph' in response. After a few more minutes went by the four heard footsteps approaching 2 were watching the door intently to see if their sensei would find out and the other 2 simply kept an eye on the door waiting for the moment it happened.
As someone slid the door open, a rather tall man in a Konoha flak vest with white spiky hair and a mask over his face appeared and as he opened the door the eraser fell on his head.
Naruto immediately laughed and said, "Ha-ha-ha, I got him he totally fell for it." Sakura spoke up, "I'm sorry sensei, I tried to tell him to stop, but he wouldn't listen" But on the inside, "PERFECT SHOT!"
Even Sasuke couldn't believe it, "He actually fell for that cheap trick, is this guy really a Jonin?" He thought as he looked at the jonin standing in the door.
"Wow, I never thought I'd see the day where a Jonin would fall for the old eraser in the door trick, this is the end as we know it." Toshirama said as he put his hand up to his face to stifle his attempts at laughing.
The jonin picks up the eraser and after setting it aside on the desk beside the door, puts his hand to chin and the first thing he says is, "Hm, how can I put this, my first impression of this group… you're a bunch of idiots."
All four of them deadpanned at the response of the Jonin as his first words to them is to call them idiots.
"This is going to a long journey for this team." Little did Toshirama know that statement was about to be the truest statement he had ever said in his life.
