When Naruto woke up he ate his morning Ramen then rushed out the door to meet Sasuke. He ran down street after street until he reached Sasuke's house but noticed that he wasn't there waiting for him. He shrugged, walked up to the door and knocked a couple times. Naruto waited a bit, but then noticed that Sasuke wasn't at home. "Hmm... he must have already gone to school then." Naruto thought to himself, so he ran to the school as well. When he got there, he noticed two notes posted on the door so he went and read the first one. It read:
"Sorry about not contacting everyone, but school will be closed all of this week because of... personal matters. So, just take this week off and enjoy yourself. We will continue when this matter is fixed and again, sorry for the inconvenience." – The Third Hokage.
Naruto didn't mind this at all, but saw the second note attached to the door so he began to read what it said. It read:
"Hi Naruto, don't worry... you're the only one who can see this. I put a protective genjutsu around it so only you are able to read it. Anyway, if you were wondering why I wasn't at my house this morning meet me at the training grounds at 8:30am and I will explain everything to you. – Sasuke."
Naruto looked at his watch and saw that it was already 8:10am so he took off to the training ground. When he got there, he saw Sasuke and began to walk towards him.
"Hey Sasuke, I saw the note you put on the door for me. What's up?" Naruto asked looking confused.
Sasuke turned around and looked at Naruto.
"Alright... I have quite a bit to tell you so make sure you listen up. Anyway, this relationship we have... it's not going to work. Like... I'm bi and everything, but "the day" is getting closer and closer. And when "the day" approaches, nothing but bad things will happen to me and the people around me so I'm breaking up with you. I'm sorry it had to be this way, but I'll always remember you. And for the rest I have to tell you, it can wait for a bit. But right now I need to be somewhere." Sasuke said and took off into the nearby forest.
Naruto was shocked. He didn't know what to think. Like... Sasuke just breaking up with him like that and not even explaining what was going on. That wasn't right. Naruto then started to breath heavily.
"S-sasuke just broke up with me?" Naruto questioned himself in a guilty-like voice.
"T-this... can't be..."
Just then, Sakura walked out from the forest behind him and stood behind Naruto.
"Naruto... I'm really sorry about everything I've done to you lately. It was all because of jealousy, but I've thought about it and I'm not jealous of you and Sasuke anymore. Can we be friends again?" Sakura asked in a sweet voice.
Naruto turned around and looked at Sakura. He then looked into her eyes and put his arms around her.
"Of course we can be friends again. And I'm sorry too... I should have asked you first to see if you'd be hurt if I'd date him. But it doesn't matter anymore; Sasuke just broke up with me." Naruto said and started to sob on Sakura's shoulder.
Sakura didn't know what to say. She just started patting Naruto on the back saying "it's okay, he probably had a good reason for it. I'm sorry to hear that he broke up with you, but there's nothing you or me can do about it."
Naruto started to calm down a bit and held Sakura closer to his chest.
"Sakura... thank you. I'm glad I can count on you when I'm down or hurt, so please... never change." Naruto said in a quiet and kind voice.
Naruto then let go of Sakura and looked straight into her eyes.
"Hey, I was wondering... would you like to get something to eat with me? I kinda skipped breakfast this morning, so I'm probably going to get some ramen. Would you like to come eat with me? I'll pay." Naruto said with a calm and warm smile.
"Hmm... alright, but just as friends okay?" Sakura said.
"Yeah, of course. I'm not over Sasuke yet anyway." Naruto said with a sigh.
Sakura gave a half smile and took Naruto's hand. They then walked over to Ichiraku Ramen's place and sat down.
"Okay, so what would you like to eat Sakura?" Naruto asked reading the menu.
"Uhh... I think I'll have the pork ramen." Sakura said.
Naruto agreed and called the chef over.
"Hello. Uh... we'll have two pork ramen and a side order of miso." Naruto told the chef.
The chef nodded and took off into the back to make the food.
"Thanks Naruto. I really needed some food in me as well because I also skipped breakfast this morning." Sakura said with a cute, small laugh.
Naruto smiled and said that she was welcome anytime.
"So, how have you been liking school so far?" Naruto asked Sakura with a grin.
"Well... it's been okay. Although, we only got to go to two classes so far... so I had medical ninjutsu training first period and chakra movement control second period. I really enjoy both of the classes because soon I'll be able to heal the injured with medical ninjutsu and also break through rocks with my bare hands because of the chakra movement control classes." Sakura said staring off into her own little world.
"Oh, uh... I'd better stop staring off into space like that. It's embarrassing sometimes. So, how were your classes Naruto?" Sakura said laughing a bit.
"Well... first period I had kunai training with a really scary teacher called Anko. She made whoever missed the targets stand in the middle of the gym while she gave them the kiss of death. Oh, and one kid ended up tripping on the way into the gym so she said that she's going to stick poisonous snakes in his bed at night. I still wonder if she really did do that to him..." Naruto said pondering.
"Wow... your first period sounds really... intense. I'd hate to have her as a teacher." Sakura said.
"Yeah, that class is really strict. But my second period class is pretty calm so it's not so bad. But... the teacher's Kakashi and do you remember the whole bunny incident thing between him and me that happened a while ago?" Naruto asked raising an eyebrow.
Sakura started to laugh uncontrollably and put her hands on her stomach.
"haha- yeah- hahaha- I remember that... bahahaha. I bet Kakashi is still pretty pissed off about that," Sakura said still holding her stomach.
Naruto began to laugh too and noticed that the food was ready and was placed in front of them.
"Enjoy the meal." Said the cook and walked into the back again.
Naruto and Sakura nodded at each other and started to eat their food. When they were done, Naruto paid the chef and thanked him for the nice meal. Sakura then thanked Naruto for treating her and said that she'd see him later so she took off down the street. Naruto then didn't know what to do, so he thought about it for a bit.
"Oh! I know! I'll go find Kiba and the others and see if they'd like to hang out." Naruto said to himself and took off down the road to look for them.
Naruto then searched restaurants, game rooms, hot springs but still couldn't find them.
"Hmm... I wonder where everyone could be." Naruto said to himself pondering.
Naruto thought about it a bit and then had a feeling they might be at the training grounds, so he went and looked there. He began searching the training grounds until he can upon a hooded jacket that was placed on the ground. Naruto picked it up and examined it a bit.
"Hey... this is Kiba's jacket. He must be around here somewhere." Naruto said to himself and took off looking for him.
Naruto went into the forest near the training grounds and saw Kiba and Akamaru jumping from tree to tree and doing some weird technique.
"Hey Kiba!" Naruto said.
"Oh, hey Naruto! What's up?" Kiba asked, climbing down from the tree.
"Nothing really. I was just wondering if you and a couple others wanted to hang out a bit today." Naruto said with hopeful eyes.
Kiba put his hand on his chin and thought about it a bit.
"Well... I think I can pull off training for one day, but after today I really got to get back to it."
"Really? Why? What are you training for?" Naruto asked curiously.
Kiba stared at Naruto and sighed.
"You do know that when we get back to school, we're getting tested and have a chance to become Chunins right? The Hokage even left us a note on the door saying that the chunin exam will be held the day school continues." Kiba said crossing his arms.
Naruto's mouth dropped.
"Are you serious?!?!?" Naruto screamed.
Kiba nodded his head and started to laugh. Naruto then began to freak out and started panicking.
"Naruto... it's fine. I'll help you train so stop freaking out okay?" Kiba said still laughing.
Naruto began to cool down a bit and agreed so they started to train together. Not long after, Shino came walking into the woods. Naruto and Kiba stopped training and looked at Shino.
"Oh, hey Shino what's up?" Kiba asked smiling.
Shino didn't say a word and just stared at him.
"Uh... Shino? You're starting to freak me out, what's wrong?" Kiba asked with a confused look on his face.
Shino then snapped and sent bugs flying around in all directions and sent a swarm of beetles at Kiba. Kiba didn't understand why Shino was attacking him, but was able to get out of the way and dodge the beetles. Shino kept attacking him until Naruto jumped on top of Shino and pinned him down.
"Shino, what's going on? Why are you attacking Kiba?" Naruto asked aggressively.
"Okay, get off of me first and I'll tell you. It's okay, you can trust me." Shino said.
Naruto let go of him and Shino got to his feet.
"Kiba! You dumbass!!! How could you kill all of my rare beetles? I'm going to make sure you feel pain because of it!" Shino screamed angrily.
"Whoa... wait. What do you mean? I didn't kill your beetles!" Kiba snapped back.
"Oh really? Well lift up your feet then." Shino said angrily.
Kiba lifted up his feet and noticed that gold beetles were flattened and stuck under his shoes.
"Oh... so I did kill them. WELL IT'S NOT LIKE I DID IT ON PURPOSE. AND WHY WOULD YOU LET THEM ROAM AROUND HERE? THIS IS THE TRAINING GROUNDS, OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE GOING TO GET SQUISHED IF YOU LET THEM MOVE AROUND FREELY HERE!" Kiba said in an irritated way.
"Well maybe you should look before you step." Shino replied in a creepy voice.
"Alright look... Shino! It wasn't Kiba's fault that he killed your beetles so just calm down and move on." Naruto said stepping in the way of the two of them.
Shino began to stare Naruto down. Just then he threw a cockroach in Naruto's mouth. Naruto fell to the ground and spit the cockroach out. He then looked up and saw that Shino had disappeared.
"Hey, thanks for sticking up for me Naruto. I don't know what that guy's problem is." Kiba said.
Naruto nodded and looked down where Kiba was standing and noticed a red coloured package on the ground. He picked it up and looked at what the label said. It read "strawberry flavoured condom. Warning, keep at room temperature and away from intense heat." Naruto held up the condom package and looked at Kiba.
"Uhh, Kiba... what's the meaning of this?" Naruto asked pointing at the condom.
Kiba gasped and his face turned pitch red.
"Well you know how Sai and me had lunch together that one day? Well... we're kind of dating now and I always keep this with me just in case." Kiba said blushing.
Naruto's eyes widened and his mouth dropped.
..."What? Are you serious? I'm happy you guys are dating and all, but take it slow. Don't just start dating him then drag him to castle buttsex! That's not how a relationship works." Naruto said lecturing him.
"Yeah yeah yeah... I know. I just... like the taste of them too." Kiba said blushing even more.
Naruto's face became even more shocked and he stared Kiba down.
"You mean to say that you've been sucking on flavoured condoms?!?" Naruto said gasping.
"Well... yeah. I really like the strawberry and blueberry flavoured ones. See?" Kiba said pulling a blue coloured condom out of his pocket.
Naruto shook his head.
"Okay, I see you have this weird condom fetish, but just try to keep it secret. If people found out... let's just say they'll be avoiding you." Naruto said.
Kiba nodded, took the strawberry condom back from Naruto and put it in his pocket.
"So, you ready to start training?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah, I'm definitely ready. What would you like to practice first?" Naruto asked.
Just then, Sai came walking into the woods and saw Kiba with Naruto. Sai walked over to them and said hi.
"Oh, hey Sai." Kiba said.
"Uhh... Naruto, do you think we could do some training after? I don't get to see Sai much and you know..."
Naruto sighed, but agreed. He then left to give them some privacy, but on his way out of the woods he heard some awkward noises coming from where Sai and Kiba were. Naruto shook his head and walked out of the woods and into the training ground.
"Okay... Kiba obviously didn't take my advice so I'm just going to train here by myself." Naruto said to himself.
He started with kunai throwing and it seemed that he needed some practice with it so he kept practicing until he could hit every target with a bull's eye. After that, he moved onto chakra control. He excelled in that so he moved onto perfecting his jutsus. He mastered shadow clone and tried to create a new rasengan technique. Naruto noticed that he can make his clones use the rasengan too, so he created 5 clones and made each of them charge rasengan. He then grabbed one of the clones by the legs and started spinning wildly. When there was enough momentum he let go of the clone and sent it hurling into the tree. The clone used the rasengan and went through tree after tree sending them flying in different directions.
"Hahaha awesome! There's a new jutsu to my collection. I think I'll call this one rasengan typhoon." Naruto said to himself admiring himself for creating a new jutsu."
Naruto finished training for the day and went to get something to eat. He stopped at a restaurant with a hot spring, so he ordered a hotdog. After he ate it, he felt like soaking in the warm water so he grabbed a towel and went to the hot spring area. While he was looking around, he noticed that there was no one here except... Jiraiya who Naruto saw peeking through the hole in the wall that allowed you to see the girls' hot spring. Naruto then sighed and snuck up behind Jiraiya. He then used all his might and pushed Jiraiya into the wall. He made a loud noise and the girls saw Jiraiya peeking through the hole so they used pepper spray and sprayed it through the hole and got Jiraiya right in the eyes. He screamed and fell backwards into the hot spring. Naruto began to laugh, but then saw the water start to bubble intensely. Just then Jiraiya jumped out of the water and stood on the water using chakra control. He stared at Naruto with a ferocious glare and opened his mouth like he was going to say something.
"N...A...R...U...T...O...!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING WHEN I'M STUDYING FOR MY NEXT NOVEL?!?!?!?" Jiraiya screamed ferociously.
Naruto backed down a bit, but was still able to speak at a normal tone.
"Well... is studying girls really necessary for your novels? Like... you're so perverted. You could at least study them when they're not naked." Naruto said a little intimidated.
Jiraiya calmed down a bit and let out a deep sigh.
"Well, it's not as interesting when they have clothes on because... uh... just because." Jiraiya said grinning.
"Ugh... you're too perverted for your own good." Naruto said slipping his self into the hot spring.
Jiraiya gave Naruto a dirty look but slipped in the water with him and they began to talk.
"So, what's up with the school? Why is it cancelled all week?" Naruto asked.
Jiraiya looked at Naruto and sighed.
"Okay, I guess I can tell you part of the story because it's good to know. Anyway... Konoha was attacked a couple days ago by an unknown force. They were said to be wearing red and black robes with cloud pictures on them. Also, it's been said that they've been trying to collect the tailed beasts so that's why they attacked Konoha. They're after you." Jiraiya said seriously.
Naruto's expression dropped and he stared at Jiraiya.
"So you mean to tell me that I'm the cause of everything so far? Ugh... I hate this tailed beast inside me. I wish I could just destroy it." Naruto said sighing.
Jiraiya looked at Naruto and smiled.
"You know... there is a way to get rid of tailed beasts. Your father used a jutsu to lock it up inside you and he taught me a jutsu that can get rid of it but he told me not to use the jutsu until you want me to." Jiraiya said grinning.
"What? You can destroy that damn fox?!? Okay, I'll meet you in the training grounds in 10 minutes and we'll get this whole thing over with. So don't be late." Naruto said and ran out of the hot spring.
Jiraiya laughed and got out of the hot spring as well. When 10 minutes passed, Jiraiya and Naruto met up at then training grounds.
"Okay, so what's that jutsu? What does it do exactly?" Naruto asked seriously.
"Hehe... well, it totally sucks the tailed beast out and sends him through a space/time wormhole. Then it sends him to a place of nothingness where it can't escape." Jiraiya said.
"Okay, so let's start now. I want this thing gone." Naruto said.
Jiraiya smiled and agreed. He told Naruto to lay on the ground and take his shirt off. Naruto obeyed, so Jiraiya then put his right hand on Naruto's stomach and made some hand seals with his left hand. Just then Naruto felt a really sharp pain in his stomach and started to scream.
"Don't worry, I'm just taking the beast out then you can relax. But just try to withstand the pain for a bit." Jiraiya said.
Naruto understood and did his best to swallow the pain, but it was very hard. After a while, Naruto felt the pain decreasing and he saw the seal on his stomach disappear.
"There... now I just need to create the wormhole and it'll be gone." Jiraiya said and made some hand seals.
Just then a wormhole appeared and Jiraiya made another hand seal. He stuck his hand out and made it face the wormhole. Then he made another hand seal that caused red chakra to continuously pour out of his hand and into the wormhole. After about 20 minutes, all the red chakra was gone and Jiraiya closed up the wormhole.
"There, now the fox is gone forever." Jiraiya said panting.
Naruto smiled and was relieved that the fox was gone.
"Thank you... so much." Naruto said with a meaningful smile.
"No problem." Jiraiya said smiling.
Jiraiya then told Naruto that he had to be somewhere and disappeared.
"Hmm... it's already 10:30pm Naruto said looking up at the night sky. I think I'll go home and get to bed early tonight. That fox really took a lot out of me" Naruto said and went to his house for a good night sleep.
