Land Fish Fight
DW: Aww… Not many people reviewed, as I would have liked… That makes me cry.
Naruto: It's ok. At least your are loved.
Sasuke: holds in laugh
DW: See nobody loves me! Sasuke is laughing at me!
Naruto: Don't worry; Sasuke is a teme like that.
Sasuke: Hn…
DW: True… I mean look at him. He screams cold emo bastard. Look at his cloths… His duck-butt hair! And his pasty skin. He just needs his hair straightened, eyes slit and avoid the sun for a year and he'll be an Oro impersonator.
Naruto: OMG! That's so funny!
DW: Besides… We all know Sasuke is gay. I mean, you can't spell "Sasuke" with out "uke"!
Sasuke: Shut up!
DW: Aww, poor emo… On with the show!!!

Iruka's POV
I've been a teacher for a about four years now. Lucky me to get Naruto in the beginning of my teaching career. That child was difficult beyond all reasoning. But I could see that spark of potential if he could just once applied himself in his work. But what drew me closer to the blonde lad was his personality. He reminded me so much of myself when I was his age.
Both of use were the class clowns when we were in school. We bother were pretty much the lowest ranking students in class. But we got by with the attention we received from our peers. Good, or bad, we both didn't care. At least we were in the spot light.
But there was just a few major things that separated from us. I knew my parents. Even if my time with them was brief. I got to have fond memories of my father and mother checking under my bed and closet for monsters. My dad taught me how to throw a kunai. I got to help bake cookies around the holidays with my mother. I was loved from my parents.
Naruto never even knew his parents. We kept most of his origins a secret. Something most people of Konoha are completely unaware. The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, was Naruto's father. His mother, Uzumaki Kushina, who was a wonderful young woman. Both of those two were crazy kids. Even though she had no sham in letting her emotions run wild, I believe that her zany personality, and zest for life is what attracted him to her. He was a calm man who thought things out first. He seemed to be aloof but social all at once. When he spoke, we all stopped and listened. He didn't waist his breath on something unimportant with most matters. But that woman changed him, like women will change men one day. She was a wondrous woman. They both were prim examples of opposites attract.
The Fourth was a man who kept his life separate from business. How he was able to keep Naruto and his lover hidden was beyond me. October 10 was a bittersweet day for the Hokage. Kushina went into labor. Both excited to bring their own child into the world. Both ready to give their child the most love in the world. Along the lines, something went wrong. She died shortly after Naruto's birth. The Fourth refused to even look at the child for days. I remember my family were to care for Naruto for the time being. I guess part of him blamed himself and Naruto for the death of his mate. But whatever happened to the Hokage was short lived. He returned three days later for Naruto. But so much came in the month of October. The death of a lover. The death of hundreds of our fellow ninja. The death of my family. The death of the Fourth. The beginning of a hellish life for Naruto.
I guess all these thoughts were starting to swirl around me since the anniversary of lives changing was drawing ever so near. My heart went out to Naruto. It seemed that this was the time a lot of people weren't too fond of him. He and his father saved the village from destruction. To be in the Fourth's position. If he didn't seal the demon fox , the village would turn to ruin. If he did, then it meant leaving his son alone in this earth. I truly believe he sealed the demon in his son because Naruto was a strong spirited person. My parents seemed to agree when they cared for him on his first days of life.
I heard a door slowly open and I assumed it was one of my student's and I spoke as I began to grade the papers, "So did you come here for extra credit?"
Everything was silent for a while and I figured they probably left me to my work.
"No," a deep voice threw me out of my poor concentration from my work. "I came here to have a word with you."
I looked up to see the son of the White Fang. Normally he would only speak to me when matters dealt with a particular loud-mouthed blonde shinobi miss behaved. I really didn't want to deal with Naruto's antics. It was just way too much of a bother for me. Especially with all these papers I had to grade.
"No, I just wanted to have a word with you." Kakshi spoke coolly.
Kakshi just stood there silently. Man, I was just about to start grading. In reality, I didn't want to grade the papers. But I knew that if I didn't grade them now, they would never be graded. Why did my class to be such horrid little monsters? And why the hell did I have to give them this much work? I hate grading more than I have too. I'm just screwing myself over punishing them. I really should just threaten them saying that I will grade it and like my ass off. But just on the papers I really don't want to grade, like these papers for example.
"Kakashi, is Naruto giving you grief again?" I asked. Sometimes I swear that kid will be the death of me. He's making me feel like an old fart already, and I'm not even thirty yet. I'm probably going to be one of the youngest people to have an aneurysm from all the stress I get from that blonde lug.
"Well, I'm dreadfully busy at the moment." I said, unsure if it came out to harsh. I really was though. I couldn't deal with grading papers and handling Naruto all at once. I'm a ninja, not a magician. Honestly, did he think I could control him?
"I can see that." He stated flatly.
I looked at the time realizing that Kakashi was already late for meeting his team. Really, was he just trying to use me to be late again? Man that man has no sham! Really, these kids are the future of Konoha, and we cannot just toss them aside like this. It was up to us to mold them into fine young men and women in this village. It was our job to turn them into respectable ninja. It was our job to lead them so they could lead the next generation.
"Besides," I started. I could see his face drop behind his mask, as he knew I was about to go off on him. "Aren't you supposed to be training my former students?"
He looked like he was a small child that had been caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar. He only stood there looking sheepish as I scolded him about responsibility and being a good role model to them. Look at two of the three of their dreams. Sakura wanted to be a medical ninja. I don't think it would be good if she picked up Kakshi's lack of punctuality in that type of field. People die from bone-headed moves like that. And Naruto, he wants to be Hokage. Oh how embarrassing if he started reading that filth when he should be trying to keep the village safe.
I don't care what he needed to discuss with me. His concerns should be more on those kids than me. Sometimes I just wish that guy could get his priorities straight…
