I think this is going to be the last short chapter or at least I'm going to try to make them longer. Just a heads up.
After class Naoko felt tired from paying so much attention. Naoko started to shamble out of the school wondering if she was going to be able to keep this up. The Graduation exam was tomorrow and Naoko had to either try to become a ninja as Naoko or as Naruto because she couldn't be in two places at once.
"Naoko. Naoko. Naoko!" a girl called. It wasn't until the third time that Naruto realized the person was trying to get his attention.
"Yeah?" Naoko asked as she turned to see who it was. She turned to see several girls running up to her. Naoko's first thought was to run but she stood her ground.
"Hey do you want to hang out with us? We were going to practice for the exam tomorrow," A girl with long blonde hair asked. From what Naoko could remember the girl's name was Ino.
"Um, no thanks. I have things I need to do." Naoko said pointing in a random direction.
"What kind of things?" one of the other girls asked.
"Yeah, maybe we can help!" the blond girl said.
"Leave her alone. She's probably still getting used to this place." Sakura said as she came up to the group.
"Then we can help her with that," Ino offered. At this point Naoko started getting the feeling that they were being too nice.
"You're just mad because she was sitting next to Sasuke ino pig." Sakura said getting into Ino's face.
"You're one to talk billboard brow!" Ino shouted. The two were face to face glareing at each other. Naoko stared at them slightly surprised by this but then slowly moved away hoping none of them noticed. Once they were out of sight Naoko let out a sigh of relief.
"Maybe this isn't worth it." Naoko mumbled under her breath.
"Does that mean you're giving up on going to ninja academy?" Iruka asked.
Naoko jumped and slightly screamed. She looked at Iruka horrified. "Wha- When did you get there?" Naoko asked seeing that Iruka was walking next to her.
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. I just wanted to welcome you to the village. I would have sooner but I was in a bit of a hurry. For some reason I still can't find that kid though," Iruka said muttering the last part to himself.
Naoko felt slightly nervous about Iruka finding out but he didn't seem to know that Naoko was actually Naruto. "Well thank you."
"Yeah well I have to keep looking for Naruto but don't give up on ninja academy okay?" Iruka said and waved.
"Okay," Naoko said and waved back. She stood there waving even after he was gone and that decided what she was going to do.
