CHAPTER TEN! Team Seven's Picture Perfect Moments? Gah, Popochi's Moments!

-

-

POOF!

"Yo!" the smoke went off and they saw their sensei, his right hand raised in a greeting.

"Sensei, you're late!" Sakura scolded.

He smiled behind his mask. "Sorry. I got lost."

Naruto narrowed his eyes. "GOT LOST?" he asked in a tight voice. Sasuke scowled, arms crossed in his chest.

Kakashi combed his gloved hand through his thick silver mane. "…and I rescued a beautiful damsel in distress from a fearsome ninja turtle…" he continued suavely.

"………"

His students stared at him blankly.

NR?

Let's try again.

"Heh, heh, heh…" he snickered forcefully, trying to sound amusing. Slowly… very slowly… veins pounded on their heads— one, two, three…

and he began to sweat dropped.

A smoldering glare from the famous pretty boy Uchiha, an annoyed heated stare from the fox boy and the most evil of all— innocent green eyes that roared into emerald flame, lips twitching ready to call him—

"BAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA— that was the lamest excuse you came up with!" She screeched, little hands balled into fists, her long pink hair standing up.

"idiot!!" Naruto added.

"You're a gigolo." Sasuke said deadpanned. Kakashi raised his brow. But Sasuke scoffed and looked away. Kakashi clapped his hands.

"Anyway, I have great news for you." That caught the students' attention. Quickly, their smoldering glares vanished, replaced by sunny smiles.

But Sasuke is Sasuke.

"Great news? Like what?" Joyously, Sakura pulled at Kakashi's sleeve like a child asking for candies from her mother.

Naruto jumped in the air. "I'm gonna be the next Hokage!"

"Neji-kun will go out with me?"

"We'll have a new teacher?" asked Sasuke in monotone. The cheering stopped as Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi stared at Sasuke with odd looks.

"…"

Again, Kakashi raised his brow. Always making deadpanned witty reactions.

Sasuke became uneasy as a weird silence fell over them. "Hn." He pocketed his hands. "That's supposed to be a joke." He said.

Pathetic.

Naruto frowned. "Ah. Ha. Ha. Ha." He forced laughter out of his mouth. "Er… that sounds convincing eh?"

"Moron." Sasuke growled.

Giggling, Sakura turned to Kakashi. "What is it? What is it?" Kakashi patted her head and backed off a little.

"We have a SUPER cool mission today, so cool that it will make Sasuke-kun giggle, Naruto to laugh all day and Sakura-chan to grin like a Cheshire cat." Kakashi announced. His Genin team's faces lit up, except for Sasuke who look disgusted at Kakashi's announcement. He, giggle?

Pigs don't fly, smartass.

Anyway, Naruto was elated. "Ne, Kakashi-sensei, will it make me the next Hokage?"

"It will make Neji-kun notice me?"

"Yup," Kakashi hated to lie especially to his students. But he was familiar with their tantrums, the uncanny accuracy of their target when pissed and the intensity of their shouting volume— not to mention the Intensity Ten Uchiha Glare.

But boy, he's a Jounin. They are little midgets. No need to worry over their reactions. They're just kids and he IS Kakashi— notorious Copy-Ninja Kakashi! There was nothing to fear and he'd rather danced naked in front of Gai than to admit he's scared.

Scared of his students.

Whose tempers were worst than that of a pregnant woman! God, Sakura's was the worst! Her voice volume was hundred times worst than Naruto when the blonde boy wanted to showoff. Naruto's bad humor, on the other hand was easier to handle in contrast to Sakura's. He would just resort into YELLING and POINTING FINGERS unlike Sakura who will definitely pound him regardless of her size.

And Uchiha Sasuke…? The easiest! Why?

The boy did NOT know how to talk.

Okay. Fine. He talks. But who the hell Kakashi think he is? The boy obviously talks ONLY to Sakura— to scold or snapped at her— and to Naruto— his rival to mock him. If he talks… it will be an insult or a witty remark that annoys Kakashi.

But all of those talking were reinforced only when it was absolutely necessary and life-threatening. The rare circumstances where he was forced to talk weren't driven by just mere emotions like anger, irritation among others. Therefore, Kakashi concluded, Sasuke will NOT react.

The boy will JUST glare. That's it. GLARE. Besides, glaring was the only thing this boy can do.

But… Kakashi knew he will receive the greatest Uchiha glare ever: Intensity Ten Die-Hundred-Times-Fuckedup-asshole-with-Fishlips Uchiha Glare Sharingan Style. The silver haired Jounin cringed.

Whoa. What a fascinating jutsu.

"So what are we waiting for?" Naruto demanded, very excited and Kakashi felt sorry already.

"Just follow me."

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

After an hour…

"THIS SUCKED…!"

"LIAAAAAAAAAAR…!"

"Shit."

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

It turned out that they had to pull up weeds, pick trash that litters a river and look after a bunch of dogs. The first assignment was the lamest. Naruto pulled up medicinal herbs instead of weeds and was beaten for it. Then, Sakura beat him too because they had to plant the herbs back.

"Stupid Naruto! Always making things worst!" she reprimanded while digging to plant the herb.

It took them three hours to fix the mess up.

The second was a disaster. They were standing in a flowing river picking up trash when Naruto slipped and got captured into the flow of the river.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH…!" he cried out, flailing his arms wildly in the air. Instinctively, he reached for something and that something turned out Sakura who in turn grabbed Sasuke. The three of them got tangled together, Sakura screaming and Naruto yelling for help. Kakashi ignored them as he leaned up to a tree reading his book.

Sasuke, thankfully, managed to hang from a tree branch with a rope. He grabbed Sakura's ankle. Sakura immediately yanked Naruto's ankle using two hands. The two Genins looked up and saw Sasuke hanging from a tree branch onto a rope.

"Dobe." He muttered as he lifted them off but the added weight of Naruto caused the branch to crack and eventually broke off.

"KYAAAAAAAAAA…!" Sakura's scream resounded all through out the forest.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"Nice save," Naruto said bitterly as he rubbed his throbbing head. He was dripping wet, blonde hair, for once, was flat. Sakura sighed and groaned as she massaged her head. Like Naruto, she was drenched, her red dress hugging her body. Her pink hair began to feel heavy.

"Yatta… I guess I hit my head too hard." She groaned, pressing her head. Sasuke gritted his teeth. All of them fell headfirst to the waterfall and their (lame ass, idiot, selfish) teacher did nothing to help them. Instead, he met them at the bank of the river where they end up, chuckling.

"That was nice." Kakashi said suavely. "I think 2nd assignment was finished."

Sakura resisted punching Kakashi.

"Gigolo." Sakura heard Sasuke growled under his breath before getting back to his feet. Automatically, he took hold of Sakura's upper arm to lift her back to her feet. He poked her shoulder. "Your head?"

"Still intact, I guess…" she replied. Sasuke rolled his eyes and followed Kakashi out of the forest.

Second assignment: two hours.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Who'd look after and walk a dog?

Naruto grumbled. He found the current assignment deathly boring that for the 73rd time, he yawned. Maybe, Kiba enjoyed the company of dogs. He's a dog-faced anyway, it's logical to be happy with your specie.

Naruto glanced sideways to stoic Sasuke who looked bored. Which wasn't surprising at all. For the first time today, Naruto noticed that Sasuke, after all, knew how to change expressions. Aside from his die-if-you-want-mess-up-with-me look, his expression as of the moment was of deep irritation confirmed by the frequent twitching of his eyebrow.

The blonde shifted his gaze from the annoyed boy to Sakura who, apparently, was the only sane person who enjoyed such trivial mission.

The assigned dog to her was rather large and hairy, dark gray with wolfish features and incredibly large and heavy-weight. However, the dog got a quick pairs of feet and enormous stamina. A chuckle escaped the blonde ninja as he watched the girl ran alongside the dog, trying hard to catch up. Suddenly, the dog suddenly skidded to halt and Sakura, taken aback, thrashed her arms to the side to regain her balance but soon fell down on her face.

Naruto winced at the sound of the impact. That sound hurt. And more interestingly, she fell on her face. She fell on her forehead.

"Itai…" Sakura groaned, palming her forehead. The dog sat on its hind legs in front of her, tongue sticking out of its mouth in an uncanny imitation of a grin. She pouted and stood up, took the leash but as soon as she grasp the nylon leash, the dog shot forward again, dragging the petite girl. Sakura gave a yell of surprise.

"STOOOOOOOOOOP…!" But the dog began to pick up speed and shot forward like a cannonball of fur.

"YAAAAAAAAY…!"

Kakashi looked down from a tree to the girl then back to his book. The dog seemed to enjoy dragging Sakura. It even began to run in circles. After almost 20 to 25 laps with the dog, Sakura was sweating and panting crazily. "That…dog! I'm gonna butcher him up!" she gasped between huffs.

Kakashi hopped down from his tree, it seems that he had finished a chapter from his book. "Let's head back to report."

Sakura raised a fist, vein pounding on her head. "I thought you'll just sit there and relax while watching us die with exhaustion!" she snapped angrily. "PLUS, you lied to us!"

"Lie? I didn't."

"Go buy yourself someone to talk to." She retorted and marched away. Naruto followed suit. Sasuke looked up to Kakashi.

"You sucked."

Kakashi chuckled uneasily. It was the first time Sakura blew her top.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

As Sakura stomped, punctured by 'hmph' in every step, a thick puff of smoke appeared. She stopped and frowned. "Eh?"

The smoke went off to reveal a woman with cherry face and light burgundy hair wearing the typical Jounin uniform. Sakura leaned forward and her eyes widen. "Ehhhhhhhh?"

"HELLO, POPOCHI!"

-

Eye-catch! A woman with red hair: POPOCHI! TIME TO EAT YOUR BANANA! Chibi Sakura appeared with a monkey-face: "I'm the king of the apes! HAR, HAR, HAR!" "Excuse me? You're a girl." "Fine…I am the queen of the apes…"

-

"Argh!" Sakura back away in horror. "MOMMY…?"

The smoke completely died away. The woman with burgundy hair flashed a charming smile, giving them a v-sign. "But of course! It's Mommykins, Popochi!"

Sakura flushed. "Gah! Stop that, Mommy!"

Quiver. Quiver.

Naruto and Kakashi looked puzzled.

The woman swelled like a saber tooth. Her head swelled, her green eyes glinting. "MOMMY…? I TOLD JA, CALL ME MOTHA, POPOCHI!"

"MOTHA…? That was…silly!"

"SILLY…? God, no! That's what we call British acZent!"

"Excuse me? It's accent!"

-

Eye-catch!

Naruto FANS: BRITISH ACCENT? Are you crazy? This is NARUTO World! Naruto is Japanese! JAPANESE! This is NINJA WORLD!"

MOTHER POPPED IN CHIBI-FORM: Haller? This is fanfiction! I RULE—

TEAM 7 hopped in, crashing the scene: Heh. Time to gatecrash! (Sun rose behind them) NO! We're the protagonists here! You're extra!

CHIBI-NARUTO rushed forward, spotlight focused on him, the Sun got kicked out, hands on hips, a proud grin plastered on his face, and he cleared his throat: Ehem. Ehem. Actually, I'm the MAIN character here—

CHIBI-SASUKE switched off the spotlight, glaring: You're not.

CHIB-NARUTO, flared up: In case you haven't notice, bastard, the series is named after ME! ME! MY NAME…! NA-RU-TO! I'm the—

(The background turned into a field of sunflowers.) CHIBI-SAKURA, crashing down onto Naruto's head: NO WAY! In case you—(stops. Kakashi cut in.)

(Kakashi rolled up the huge poster of sunflower field (courtesy of Leaf Advertising Company) behind Sakura. He grabbed the camera and turned it to focus on him, in the background, Naruto and Sakura fought to get into the camera.) CHIBI-KAKASHI: Sorry. My students are retarded.

BAM! (A mini-mallet appeared in Sakura's hand and whacked him on the back of his head, Naruto kicked his ass and Sasuke used his foot to keep Kaakshi's face flat on the ground.)

THE END!

RESUME!

-

"Popochi—"

"Gah! Don't call me that!" Sakura whined.

"Popochi…? Who is Popochi?" asked Naruto.

Sasuke smirked. "Sakura. Her mother calls her Popochi."

"But…" Naruto frowned. "Was that a name for a pet dog or something?"

Sasuke cringed. "Idiot."

"NGARRRRR…!" Sakura's hair stood up.

Haruno-san smiled and patted her daughter's hair. "Ooh. My daughter's all fired up!"

Naruto looked up to his sensei. "Sensei, no wonder Sakura-chan's all hyped." Kakashi chuckled. "Yeah it's in their blood."

"MOMMY I'M FURIOUS!" Steam radiated from her ears, fists clenched as her eyes turned into slits. Haruno-san laughed and ruffled Sakura's hair. "Hahaha! Sakura-chan is very ill-tempered, isn't she, minna-san?" her daughter gave her a glare. "Well, uh, okay. Anyway, Popo— uh…yeah… stop glaring at me girl— your Daddykins and I are going to leave today for a mission."

Sakura's eyes widen. "Today?"

Haruno-san smiled, slightly. "Hai, Sakura-chan. Hokage-sama just informed us 2 hours ago. You're going to be on your own for 3 weeks."

"That LONG?"

"Hai. Sorry, Popochi, but the mission, according to Hokage-sama, will take 3 weeks to accomplish."

"Where?"

The woman hesitated. "Sound Country,"

Sakura blinked. "Oh."

"Ne, don't worry, Sakura-chan. I'm done with the shopping, bought 50 cups of ramen— yuck, don't drool— cooked your food, all you have to do is to microwave them. I cleaned your room so don't turn it into a piggery!" The woman yelled the last sentence. Sakura looked revolted.

"Piggery? I'm not Ino-pig to live in a piggery!" Sakura countered.

Haruno-san rolled her eyes. "Duh. I didn't give birth into a pig either— plus, lock the doors and shut your windows and most of all— EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT! Ok, Popochi?" The woman grinned widely as Sakura turned red with anger.

"Grrrrrrrr…"

Giggle. "But it was cute!" She glanced as Sasuke, smiling. "Right, Uchiha-kun?" Sasuke's eyebrows shot up.

"Hn——"

"Oh, before I forget," Haruno-san took out a piece of paper from her pocket. "Here, it's the claiming stub for your Daddykins' camera. Claim it at Taka-san's repair shop, ok?" Sakura nodded and took the stub.

"Lastly, Popochi——"

"MOTHER——"

"Take care." The woman smiled.

"…!"

"By the way, Uchiha-kun, Uzumaki-kun and Hatake-san, please look after my daughter for a while. Besides, Sakura-chan is Uchiha-kun's Popochi, right?"

Sasuke nodded. She smiled and POOF!

"Mom——"

I don't want to say goodbye.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"Hello, Taka-san." The man behind the counter looked up and saw a beautiful face smiling at him. Ah. The famous Team 7.

"Sakura! Here for your father's camera? Of course! Please wait for a moment." He disappeared from the door and reappeared minutes ago with her father's camera. "TADAA! Good as new, isn't it?" her teammates peered over and saw the equipment.

"Wow. You gave me a new camera, Taka-san?" Sakura said, giggling, inspecting the camera.

"…?" the man blinked. Sasuke sighed.

"Heh. Just kidding, Taka-san!" Sakura bursts out laughing. Sasuke muttered, "Idiot" under his breath while Taka chuckled.

"Thanks a bunch, Taka-san! See ya around!" she was about to run for the door when Taka called her back. "What is it, Taka-san?"

The man smiled. "Say, Sakura-chan, I'll give a free film if you sing a song for me!"

"A free film? Hmmm… sing? That's piece of cake, Taka-san!" she thrust the camera to Sasuke's hand, took a deep breath and smiled sweetly before singing…

Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to molly-girl I like your face
And molly says this as she takes him by the hand.

Team 7 was astounded. They didn't know Sakura can sing that… well. Okay, the song was tad ancient but she was cute while singing it. Her green eyes twinkled with mirth and Taka-san clearly enjoyed watching and listening to her. The old man knew the girl can sing.

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Obladi oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on.

"Isn't that Sakura-chan?"

"Haruno-san has such a cute girl."

"Save for that… ano— nice forehead?"

Desmond takes a trolly to the jewellers store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing.

Several costumers stopped by and listened to her sweet melodious voice. Some laughed at Sakura's cute childlike antics.

In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of desmond and molly jones.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Anything for a free film."

Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band.

And if you want some fun- take obladi oblada

She finished her song and bowed. Taka-san applauded while Team 7 remained staring at her. Taka-san handed her a small package. Sakura squealed and beamed at him before waving goodbye. As they left the shop, Sakura put the film inside.

"Ne, Sakura-chan, I didn't know you can sing." Naruto commented, his face close to hers.

"Sing?" Sasuke interrupted. "That's reciting poetry." Sakura shot him a heated look.

"I don't do it for free, Naruto. Wait, since Taka-san gave me a film let's have a picture perfect moments together!"

"Cool! Pictures!" Naruto nodded. Sakura scanned the crowd, looking for a familiar face. Her face lit up. "IRUKA-SENSEI!" she waved frantically, smiling. The Chuunin noticed her (it was hard to miss that head and that grin).

"Hey, Sakura-chan." He backed off a little as Sakura shoved a camera in his face. "Huh?"

"Will you take our pictures?"

"Um, I'm actually busy right now…"

"PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE…? PRETTY PLEASEEEEEEEEE…?" Sakura begged, using her puppy eyes to convince him. Iruka cringed, looking down at those large green eyes. It was hard to refuse.

"Fine," he took the camera from her hands. Sakura bowed thankfully. She ran back to her teammates, standing in the middle of Naruto and Sasuke, their sensei behind her. "Okay, stand close together. 1…2…3——"

"BWAH!"

CLICK!

"What was that! You destroyed the picture perfect moment!" Iruka reprimanded. Kakashi chuckled and Sakura only smiled sheepishly.

"One more time, sensei!" Naruto yelled, posing with a v-sign. Iruka looked at them suspiciously.

"Don't ruin the picture this time."

CLICK!

"GRRRRRRRRRR…! You pressed your face in the lenses!" Iruka shouted.

"More please!" Naruto cheered.

CLICK!

"I told you STAY STILL!"

CLICK!

"Sakura, STOP THAT!"

CLICK!

"Gah! Release Naruto NOW!"

CLICK!

"DON'T TICKLE SASUKE!"

CLICK!

"STOP GRINNING LIKE AN IDIOT!"

CLICK!

"My god! You're levitating!"

CLICK!

"Kakashi, put her down! PUT HER DOWN!"

CLICK!

"NARUTO!"

CLICK!

"Sasuke, LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT THE CAMERA!"

CLICK!

"Stop making faces! Cut it out! Cut it out!"

CLICK!

"Naruto! Sakura! You two——"

CLICK!

"KAKASHI, CALM YOUR STUDENTS!"

CLICK!

"LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT THE CAMERA! NOT IN THE SKY!"

CLICK!

"Stop glaring, Sasuke!"

CLICK!

"What kind of POSE is THAT?"

CLICK!

"Sakura, put down your hands!"

CLICK!

"YOU JUMPED?"

CLICK!

"You LICKED THE LENSES? GROSSSSSSSSS!"

CLICK!

"You're not Michael Jackson, Naruto!"

CLICK!

"You aren't Janet Jackson either Sakura!"

CLICK!

"Stop posing like a chimp!"

CLICK!

"Sasuke, are you a zombie?"

CLICK!

"Damn that porn book!"

CLICK!

"I GIVE UUUUUUUUUUUP…!"

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Team Seven watched Iruka-sensei stomped away with steam billowing from his ears. The four members of Team 7 stared after him with bemused look in their faces. Sasuke, on the other hand, remained stoic.

"I don't understand why Iruka-sensei got upset. I mean, we did smile at the camera, didn't we?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah…" Naruto nodded.

"And poses right! You know, our poses are cool!"

"Yeah…"

Kakashi whipped out his book.

"Maybe he's hungry." Naruto said.

"Or sleepy?" Sakura inquired.

"Or feeling horny." Kakashi suggested.

His three students cringe. "That's disgusting." Sasuke growled. Kakashi grinned.

"I think he should drink more water." Kakashi recommends.

"Yeah…"

"And sleep." Sakura shrugged.

"Yeah…"

"Eat more tomatoes." Sasuke said flatly.

"Yeah…"

"And more sex."

"…"

"…"

"…"

… "WHAT!"

Ew.
