Chapter 7

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Hinata found the game of dodge ball quite easy and boring. They were trained to dodge razor sharp kunai, thrown by expert ninja… These were a bunch of kids… with rubber balls… if you don't notice a difference you have no brain! Eventually, only Naruto and Sasuke were left. Naruto hit Sakura in the stomach and Hinata was hit in the face by Sasuke… poor Hinata…

"You have no chance, idiot!" yelled Sasuke holding 4 dodge balls. The other 6 were behind him. Naruto was ball-less (all sick jokes intended).

"In your dreams, Sasuke!" retorted Naruto. At this point Sasuke threw 2 of the balls. Naruto dodged easily. But he didn't see a third ball coming to him… or so it seemed. Naruto grabbed it at the last second and threw it back with blistering speed. Sasuke saw this too late and tried to dodge, but got hit in the balls.

Everyone exclaimed an "Ow! That's gotta hurt!" And indeed it did. (I've gotten hit by a soccer ball at full speed in that area… OW!) Sasuke was writhing in pain on the floor for several minutes. The stand off between Naruto and Sasuke lasted so long that there wasn't time for another game. The other students groaned as they headed for their respective locker rooms. In the boy's locker room, Sasuke took sweet, sweet, sweet, revenge on the blonde ninja. He sneaked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around, Sasuke took the tennis shoe in his hand and delivered an attack to Naruto's crotch. Naruto, then, screamed like little girl. Sasuke got revenge and a bit more those few minutes of Naruto rolling on the ground in pain and crying… poor Naruto…

Walking out of the gym, he met face to face with an angry Sakura. She punched him in the nose… "What the hell was that for!"

"Revenge, stupid!"

"But Sasuke already got revenge on me!"

"Oh… well… um… that was for… hitting me in the stomach!"

Naruto was very careful not to hit Sasuke in the balls… ever again! Naruto's next period was Science.

"Ok, class, today in Physics-"

"Physics! Phyyyyyyyyyysiiiiiiiiiiiiics!" yelled Naruto at the top of his lungs.

"…What?" asked the teacher, she was tall and looked about 50, and her hair was starting to grey and had an ugly yellow dress on.

"Sorry, old habit…" replied Naruto. (It's an inside joke between my friend, Jiece, and I, whose story you should read. It's called Hero Academy under FF I-V.)

The teacher eventually learned not to say 'physics' (Naruto: physics! me: quiet you! hits with mallet). Naruto now had math. Crap, thought Naruto. I suck at math. When he got to the classroom he saw Kiba there in a seat in the front row. He took the available seat next to him.

"Welcome, class, to another day of advanced quantum mechanics!" said the teacher. He was about 30 but had a baldhead. Naruto and Kiba's jaws dropped.

"This is 6th grade math, right? We didn't take a wrong turn or anything?" asked Kiba.

"Nope, other schools don't do this, but we think differently!" said the teacher cheerfully.

The next 45 minutes were complete and utter torture to Kiba and, especially, Naruto. Finally, lunch came. Kiba and Naruto sat at the lunch table all their other ninja buddies were at. Naruto was a zombie. Wide-eyed and drooling, he ate his lunch in complete silence.

After a few minutes, Sakura leaned over to Kiba and whispered, "What the heck's up with Naruto?"

"Shh…" replied Kiba. "Don't mention anything math related, or his mind will snap, like a tomato."

"Like a to-"

"Yes, like a tomato," interrupted Kiba. Apparently Kiba had gone a bit crazy, too.

Naruto's silence was broken when to girls walked by and whispered to each other, "Hey, there's the ho kid."

Naruto snapped out of it and asked, "Ok, that's it, what the hell is with everyone calling me a ho?"

"Well… at the opening ceremony, when you were introduced, you were going to yell out that you were going to become Hokage and that would have blown our whole cover, so I had to stop you. But I cut you off a little too late and all you got out is 'I'm going to beat all of you, because I'm going to become the best Ho' so… yeh."

Naruto looked at Sakura with utter hatred and said, "I'm going to kill you!"

But Sasuke, knowing Naruto well, said, "Math, Naruto, math!"

Naruto stopped in his tracks and turned back into a vegetable.

Kinda a short chapter, I know but I was on a 4 day class trip and I didn't wanna leave you guys with no updates for too long. Please review!
