Ok, here it is, a much longer chapter to make up for the really short one before. XD Comments would be lovely.

CH. 4:

On the surface he looked cool and collected; it would take a closer look however, to notice how tense Sasuke was underneath it all. As his raven hair swayed lazily in the wind, his dark eyes swerved back and forth, looking for even the tiniest of motions to give away his enemies positions.

"I know he's here somewhere...I can feel it..." he whispered to himself. He swore he could hear the soft patter of feet down an alley. The young Uchiha hid behind the ramen stand and waited, like a cat awaiting a mouse until, yes, his honed instincts proved correct. Into the clearing a particular blonde ninja emerged looking left and right, and wearing a somewhat satisfied smirk.

"Jeez, anyone could outrun that teme" Naruto scoffed. Looking towards the Raman stand (and being the tard he was not seeing Sasuke) he decided "ill hide in here". He settled in his spot behind one of the tables and waited. From his hiding place Sasuke shook his head, this was too easy. Careful not to upset any chairs he snuck up on his orange friend.

"Who's a teme now?" he whispered once directly behind him.

"WHAAHOUUUOUAA!!1'' Naruto jumped straight up into the air in shock, and, with the help of his ninja-esqe skills, managed to land squarely on his ass. What grace.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot" The raven boy smirked. "Tag. You're it" With a POOF of smoke, he was gone, leaving a very shocked and rather sore Naruto alone in the stand.

"When the hell did he learn to do that Poof thing? That guy spends too much time with Kakashi" He sighed. "Well I suppose I'm it now." Naruto stood up and spun around --- "Look out everyone! I'm gonna kick your butts, 'tte bayo!!!!"

He started to run furiously. Then he realized he had no idea which way he was running. He stopped, picked a direction randomly, and started running again.

From a nearby building top, Sasuke laughed at the idiot and leaped away. Wheeee.

"That dobe" Neji spat from where he was hiding a few yards away. "He just succeeded in telling everyone in a 5 mile radius where he is. He really sucks at this game!"

"Yeah, yeah he does." Ten-Ten giggled next to Neji.

"Well, now we know that Naruto's 'it', we should watch out for him."

"Heh, this gives me an idea…" Ten-Ten grinned before whispering in Neji's ear. Neji laughed.

" Let's do it."

Meanwhile back in tard land, Naruto paused and sniffed the air.

"MY KIBA SENSES ARE TINGLING!!"

"UURRRR?" Kiba started from a nearby bush

"Dammit Akamaru!!" Kiba scolded.

"Hah! Found you!" exclaimed Naruto, pushing aside the bushes.

"Shit," said Kiba looking down at Akamaru, and then back up at Naruto, who was smiling ear to ear. "How'd you know it was me?"

"It's a talent" responded the future Hokage (heh, sure) Kiba got up and looked around, Naruto was still standing there.

"So I'm 'it' now?" Kiba asked.

"Looks like it."

"Aren't you going to run?" asked Kiba

"Wha? Oh, Right! Bye!" Naruto was off and running before Kiba could blink.

Kiba sighed and shook his head.
