Cherry Blossom Moon: Fiery Passion

By Sakura-cherryblossom16

Author's Note: I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. I decided to make this a medieval Japanese story so the weapons and scrolls will still be in use.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters.

CHAPTER 10: The Annual Food Competition!

"I thank everyone that came to compete or see the annual food competition this year! We have many new competitors than ever and wish the best of luck to you all!," an old man shouted as the crowd roared angrily.

"Ready, on your mark, get set, go!!" a young women said as pasta was first served to everyone.

'I got to win, my father is counting on me and I can't let down my clan!' Choji thought as he gulped the food down.

'Man….that chubby guy just eats like there is no tomorrow. I guess I'll just have to do the same!' Kisame thought as he started picking up the pace to match Choji.

"Go Kisame, go, fight, and win!" Tobi kept shouting as the crowd stared blankly at him.

"Hey Sakura isn't this great?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah, but I am not the type of person that enjoys stuff like this," I said boringly.

"Well its better than staying at home and I wonder what ever happened to Shino?" Kiba said as he began to think.

"Well I am just glad that he isn't here…he isn't coming is he?" I asked nervously.

"He did say that he would come…well I will be on the lookout so don't worry," Kiba said as he turned his attention back to the competition.

I looked at Kiba and sighed as I turned my head also. But as I turned my head I saw Shino walking right toward us. He didn't seem to notice me because his attention was on the competition. I panicked and gulped as I turned to Kiba, "Hey I have to use the bathroom so just wait here for me," I said as I started to run.

"Okay…she must really had to go," Kiba said as he watched me run.

"Kiba…where is Sakura?" Shino asked.

"Sh…Shino! What a surprise!" he said as he had a fake smile on his face. 'Man I hope Sakura doesn't come back…' he said as Shino glared at him. "Well she didn't think this was interesting so see…uh….went somewhere else," Kiba said as he rubbed his hand against the back of his head.

"I'll look for her then…." Shino said as he poofed away.

"Oh man Sakura please be okay…." Kiba said with a worried look.

'Man this kid just keeps eating and eating…so this is going to be harder than I thought,' Kisame thought as he grimaced at Choji. "Hey you do know that I am going to win no matter what right so you better just give up now," Kisame said cockily as Choji smiled at him.

"Whatever…you do know that no one ever wins except the Akimichi clan right? So its going to be harder than you think and why are your hands blue? Well I guess your body is so you have to cover your body with that hood…but I never saw an Aburame clan member that was blue before…" Choji said as he was interrupted.

"Shut up you stupid, fat boy! Didn't your mother ever teach you to respect others?!" Kisame shouted as Choji's eyes bulged and his fists clenched.

"You…called me fat! You made a big mistake saying that!" Choji shouted.

"Hah! I'll say it again then fat boy!" Kisame shouted as he laughed.

"Your going down!" Choji said as he began eating even faster.

"You think you can win against me!" Kisame said as he started eating faster.

'Grr…that guy. This isn't for my clan anymore…its for my honor!' Choji thought angrily.

I ran as fast as I can, hoping that Shino didn't see me or know where I was. I passed through streets and hid in an alley. 'Ugh…Shino is a fighter so he must know how to sense chakra…I need to get out of town or do something fast,' I thought as I ran into someone. I looked up and gasped as I started shaking it was Shino and he looked angry.

"Sakura…you think you can just run like that from me? You will pay for what you did to my precious bugs…" he said as he started to reach for my shoulder and pulled me up.

"I'm sorry…I wish I could do something to help you," I said as I tried to ignore the pain in my shoulder.

"Enough…" he said as he was kicked in the head. Shino released his grip on me and I felt the presence of someone behind me. I turned around to see a black haired young man that smiled at me.

"Hello, my name is Rocklee and I am glad that I could rescue you in time my lady," he said as he gave me a thumbs up and his teeth sparkled.

"Oh thank…you" I thought as I was disturbed by his unusual movements. 'Wow…this guy is so ugly and his eyelashes are just unreal,' I thought as he looked vacantly at me.

"Are you alright? I mean you are staring off into space…" he asked as I smiled.

"Sorry, I do that a lot and think I really need to get going…" I said as I slowly backed away.

"Wait I must know the name of the most beautiful maiden I have met in my entire loveless life!" he shouted as I looked at him uneasily.

'Well I won't ever see him again I think so I guess its okay,' I thought. "Well my name is Sakura and…." I said as I was interrupted. He reached for my hand and I gasped as he brought his head close.

"That is such a beautiful name, it's a shame that I can only see your beautiful green eyes though. I ask of you to take that hood off your head so I could gaze at your beauty so I can treasure it in my heart," he said as my mouth hung open.

"No thanks, I don't want anyone to see my hair though because…I got a bad hair cut," I said.

"I do not care for I will always love you!" he said as he made a move to kiss my hand. I slapped his face which sent him flying and I was happy yet sorry for him at the same time. He hit a cart full of vegetables and broke it as he was knocked out unconscious. "G..guy sensei…" he said as a man came rushing from the crowd.

"Lee! My student and sensei senses are tingling, just hold on!" he shouted as I ran away.

"This place is just full of weirdoes," I said.

"Lee I was right you are hurt. I am so sorry I will never leave you like that again!" he shouted as he hugged Lee.

"Guy sensei I'm alright, but yet I am not. I feel terrible because the girl I love doesn't love me," Lee said as his sensei frowned.

"Lee…love hurts! I was dumped by so many girls that I lost count, never give up and let your youthful spirit soar because nothings beats true love!" Guy shouted.

"Your right Guy sensei! Thank you for your helpful advice!" Rocklee said as they started hugging and crying while the crowd's faces were emotionless.

'Ugh, I feel full,' Choji thought as he looked at Kisame.

'Man this guy isn't a joke…' Kisame thought as he looked at Choji.

"This is the last round and we are down to two competitors! Who will win the tall person or the Akimichi clan's one and only Choji!" a young man said as a dish was set on the table that was covered up.

'I'm so full I don't think I can eat anymore…' Choji thought.

'I feel as if I am going to explode…' Kisame thought.

"Here is the last dish!" the young man said as he lifted the cover. On the plate was a dish with fried sardines all laid out in a line.

"You…you got to be kidding me!" Kisame shouted as his mouth hung open. "I can't eat this!" he said as Choji reached for one. He put it in his mouth and chewed slowly as he gulped it down.

"Beat that…" Choji said as he passed out.

"Wow all the tall man has to do now is eat one, yes just one fish. Can he do it?!" the young man shouted. Kisame reached for the fish and held it so he could stare at him real closely. He suddenly got uneasy inside as he started to run to the trash can while the fish was still in his hand.

"The winner is Choji!" the young man said as everyone cheered.

Deidara walked over to Kisame as Kisame was laying on the ground. "Ugh, I can't believe I lost," he mumbled.

"Yeah, I am so good!" Deidara shouted.

"Hey blondie what the heck are you doing here and what are you talking about?" Kisame asked.

"Hey, thanks for the information about making the last serving of food fish. I mean anyone who calls me fat deserves to lose," Choji said as he walked away.

"Deidara!" Kisame shouted.

"Hehe, well you did leave me there hungry so I had to get pay back and plus they gave me a free meal…Ahhh!!" Deidara shouted as he ran back to the supplies in the woods.

"Why you?! If I wasn't so full I would be ripping you apart!" Kisame shouted as the young man that hosted the competition came over to him.

"You deserved it! You cheated by making your buddy transform into you in the 3 min break then you did it again so you could finish it. But the crowd didn't notice and since you didn't win I will not have you punished," he said as he walked away.

"Wait until I get you Deidara, you just wait...I wonder what Itachi is going to think now..." Kisame said as he worried.

My Comments!

Me: Well I hope you liked it, I made this longer than usual and the spider sense thing was kind of random sorry. I just always wanted to make guy sensei say that. So if you don't like those random things then tell me now because I stink at humor other than that. Oh and I do not say bad words sorry, but you will have to live with that. Thanks for reading and if you would like to comment please do and I hope this chapter was…interesting for you.
