I stared at the water below us. It reminded me of our mission at the Country of Waves. Naruto told me everything that happened while I was blacked out. About Haku, and Zabuza... bringing up a question that was never answered. Was this a world of laughter, or a vale of tears. Hearing running footsteps, I looked over to the side. There was Naruto.

"Good morning, Sakura-chan!" he said. Then he and Sasuke had a glaring contest, which ended with both of them looking away. Scoffing, I looked back down at the water. 'Just don't say hi to me.'

"Ohayo, children! I got lost today, so..."

"YOU'RE LATE!" shouted Sakura and Naruto and me.

"Hey, hey, Kakashi sensei! We, the 7th squad, have been only doing easy missions, right? Isn't there a mission where I can play an active role, and something that's more... exciting? Something that makes my way of the ninja, you know, and my heart you know, like this?"

I sweatdropped and backed away slowly... He was on a burning rampage.

"Oh, I see, I see. I see what you're trying to get at." said sensei, quickly.

Naruto suddenly glared at Sasuke. His teeth bared and onyx eyes. I flew up the pole and quivered in fear. "I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"

"Hey, Naruto, what are you doing? We have a mission." called sensei.

"ROGER!" shouted Naruto.

Naruto was scaring me now, as I hid behind Kakashi sensei.

"Eh... Kaneshi what are you doing?"

Our mission was to pull out weeds. Oh what fun. I was tugging at them and the heat was getting to me. 'Really, how does Naruto go so fast like that?'

"Heh heh heh!" laughed Naruto.

"Hey, you..." said the lady we were working for.

"Miss, I'm done pulling out all the weeds! Eh.. What's wrong?"

"Those aren't weeds... Those are herbs... THAT I'VE BEEN CULTIVATING!"

"OUCH!" I sweatdropped. Even that lady was scary.

We were now picking up litter from the river. It was refreshing, compared to pulling out weeds.

Suddenly Naruto slipped and was screaming for help. He fell off the waterfall. "FREE FALLLLL!"

Sasuke ran off to catch him. I just kept working. pretending nothing happened.

The next mission was to walk dogs. I chose the cute fluffy one. On the other hand... Naruto picked the huge big strong one. I saw him sliding past, pleading to not go that way. I sweatdropped.

"That baka." said Sasuke.

"Ya think?" I replied.

"That's what happens when you choose the big dog!" sighed Sakura.

I heard explosion after explosion. I sighed.

"This is what you get for being reckless." Sakura rebuked him. Her and Sasuke were supporting Naruto after he got bombed away.

Sasuke smirked. "You're a guy that needs help all the time."

Naruto went crazy and was about to jump him when Sakura stopped him. "If you're going to go wild anymore, I'm going to finish you off!"

"The teamwork is out of order lately. and Kaneshi, exactly what are you doing?" said sensei.

I was hiding behind him again. "They're scaring me."

"Yeah! And you're the one who disrupts our teamwork, Sasuke! You always stick your nose into everything!" accused Naruto.

"No, it's you." I said.

"It is you, baka. If you don't want to owe me anything... become stronger than me."

They glared at each other again. Except it wasn't just glaring.

"Shall we call it quits for today? I have to go submit the mission report now. and Ka-ne-shi! You're hurting my back!"

I was walking home when I saw a brown box with eye holes that somewhat looked like a rock. I squatted down and looked at it. It was going towards Naruto. I followed it. Suddenly Naruto started running this way and that way. I stood up and leaned on the fence, waiting for them to stop. Suddenly Naruto stopped.

"A square rock with two holes like that does not exist!" cried Naruto. "It's SO obvious!"

"I should have expected that from the man whom I have high hopes for and is also my rival." Even if it was obvious I was shocked. The rock was talking! There was a flash of light and then huge puffs of smoke. Then I heard coughing.

"Hey, you used too much gunpowder." I stared at them.

"The one who possesses the sex appeal of an adult, and the female ninja from the senior group, Moegi!" The little girl said.

"The one who loves dividing numbers, Udon."

"This village's number one genius ninja, Konohamaru!"

I sweatdropped. So this was Konohamaru.

"The three of us make the Konohamaru Corps!" This was getting awkward.

"Just as I thought, it was the three of you. Ah! Why do the three of you have goggles on?" asked Naruto.

"Hehehe. We copied the old you." giggled Konohamaru.

"Oh..."

"Oh? You've been treating us so cold lately."

"And? What do you want?"

The little kid whispered somethin to the geeky lookin kid.

"Well, Leader, do you have time right now?" asked the girl called Moegi.

"Nope! I have to go train!"

"EEHH You said that you would play Ninja with us!" I fell down right then and there. A ninja playing ninja? The little kids noticed me.

"What's the point of a ninja playing ninja?" Sakura drifted over.

"What?" said Naruto as he blushed.

"Onii-chan, who are these big girls?" He stared at us weird. "You're better than I thought." Naruto looked confused. "They're your..." He raised his pinky.

"Haha! You kids are pretty sharp!"

This was the first time I ever felt like beating up Naruto. I raised my fist up high and punched him like there was no tomorrow. At the same time as Sakura, of course.

"What did yall do!" yelled Konohamaru. I stood up straight and brushed my shoulder off.

"Hmph. It's not us. It's him."

"You ugly girl! UGLY!" My face turned red. The veins were popping out. I cracked my knuckles. I looked at Sakura. She nodded.

"Nice working with ya!" I called to Sakura. She waved.

"That big forehead ugly girl. Is she even a girl?" I stopped breathing. I looked around and started feeling pity for that fateful boy. I ran off to the fence and climbed up there. They started running, when Konohamaru ran into someone. I caught up with them.

"That hurt." said the guy with alotta make up on. He picked up Konohamaru up by his collar. "That hurt boy."

"I'm sorry, I was joking around, so..." said Sakura.

I was worried. Who are these people?

"HEY! LET GO OF HIS SHIRT!" yelled Naruto.

"Hold on. I wanna have some fun before noisy people come."

"Let go!" cried Konohamaru, kicking him.

"You're very energetic, kid."

I couldn't take it anymore. "YOU BULLY! PICK ON SOMEBODY YOUR OWN SIZE!" I shouted at him.

"Don't worry, I'll deal with you later."

I backed away a couple meters.

Naruto was furious and charged at him. The guy moved his fingers a bit and Naruto fell down.

"Konoha's genins are weak." he smirked.

"HEY! If you don't let go of him, you're going to get it from me, you baka!" threatened Naruto.

Sakura got a hold of him and shut him up.

"You annoy me. I hate short people anyway. And you're so impertinent for someone younger than me. It makes me want to break you."

"I'm not going to be responsible for what you do." sighed the girl beside him.

I started taking out a kunai.

"Afteer this short kid, the short kid over there is next." I was about to throw it when someone already threw something at him. Konohamaru dropped to the ground. A pebble rattled to the ground too. I looked in the direction where the pebble came from. Sasuke... once again.

"What do you think you're doing in another's village." I sweatdropped. Why did he have to be so cool. Sakura was squealing his name.

"Another kid that pisses me off." growled the guy. He was gripping on to his wrist.

Sasuke stopped throwing the rock up and down and crumbled it into sand. "Get lost."

"Naruto-nii-chan, you're not cool." said Konohamaru.

I blushed. Sasuke wasn't that bad looking.

"Hey, kid! Come down. I hate kids like you, who think they're so clever." He pulled on the thing that he had hanging to his back. It was unwrapping.

"Hey, you're not going to use Karasu are you?" The girl looked worried.

He slammed the thing onto the ground. Brown fur at the top was showing.

"Kankuro, stop." A cold voice came out of nowhere. "You're a disgrace to our village."

That was a shock. "G-Gaara..."
