'Thoughts'

Chapter 3

Present:

In Iruka's Academy classroom Sasuke was sitting in his usual seat in the middle of the left most rows, waiting for the rest of the class to settle and take their seats. Today was the day of the graduation exam and the room was buzzing with confidence and trepidation. Toya was sitting in the row ahead of Sasuke while turned around in order to converse with his cousin.

"Do you think that we're going to pass?" Toya asked. Sasuke nodded.

"We have to; there is no doubt that we will become ninja." Sasuke said determinedly. Just then a blond and a bright pink haired girl busted through the classroom doors while arguing loudly.

"I got here first billboard brow!" the blond girl yelled at the pink haired one.

"In your dreams, Ino-Pig! My foot was clearly one tenth of an inch ahead of yours!" the pink haired girl yelled back with a bit of indignation. They stopped arguing once their eyes made contact with the object of their affections.

"SASUKE!" both of the girls yelled in unison. Sasuke visibly flinched. 'Damn fan girls' he thought as they began advancing towards him. He saw that Toya had a coy smile of his face and shot him a look that almost made the boy laugh. As they stampeded towards the poor dark haired boy, a short blond boy stepped in front of the pink haired girl.

"Hey Sakura, I thought that maybe we could sit togeth-!" she quickly shoved him aside.

"Move it Naruto!" the girl, now known as Sakura yelled as she pushed him out of her path to Sasuke. Making eye contact with Sasuke, Sakura tried to put on her cutest face as she spoke to him.

"Hey Sasuke, I thought that maybe we could sit together…." She said trailing off slightly. Sasuke didn't respond. Seeing that his cousin was uncomfortable, Toya was about to interject when the Blond boy Naruto squatted on Sasuke's desk while glaring daggers at him. Sasuke glared right back; electricity was visibly clashing between them.

Toya watched the display of rivalry quietly knowing that he couldn't say anything, and that something entertaining would probably happen. As the heated glare intensified, a boy sitting behind Naruto who was engaged in a conversation with his friends, accidentally elbowed Naruto in the back making him fall forward. Everyone in the class room looked towards the scene in total shock, as Naruto fell forward, his lips crashing onto Sasuke's. Many gasps and full out laughs were heard throughout the room. They pulled away very fast once they got over the shock, spitting and making loud gagging sounds. Toya's sides were splitting he was laughing so hard! He stopped laughing for a second to speak as he felt the temperature in the room increasing from the heated glares of the fan girls locked onto Naruto.

"Naruto, you should run before that group of rabid fan girls beat you to death for stealing that kiss." He said in suppressing another laughing fit. Naruto looked up to see a furious Sakura cracking her knuckles, a group of equally angry girls behind her also standing up….

Sometime later in the same row sat an irritated Sasuke, a bloodied Naruto, and a daydreaming Sakura. Iruka sensei finally walks into the classroom, missing all the interesting events. Everyone had long taken their seats, after the excitement. Iruka walked to the front of the room and started placing Konoha headbands onto his desk.

"As you know, today you guys will be taking your graduation exam in order for me to evaluate whether or not you have what it takes to wear a leaf headband and become a genin. You will be performing a simple shadow clone jutsu." As he began to call students to the front to demonstrate their mastery over the jutsu, Toya looked over at his cousin. Their eyes met and the same thought went through their minds.

'We. Will. Become ninja. We have to.'
