Sakura twitched her nose, but didn't open her eyes. "Go 'way."

Naruto snickered.

"Sai's dumb." He wiggled his feather and snickered when Sakura batted sleepily at him.

"I'm above average," Naruto replied, gleeful when Sakura's nose crinkled. "BOOM."

It happened very fast. Naruto's eye was sure to color into a nice shiner just as fast.

"He did tell you," Kakashi pointed out helpfully.

Naruto just sniffled.
