Naruto's Rivalry - Chapter 2
Miriko ran down the street as fast as she could, trying not to be late so she could avoid
the dreaded "behavioral enrichment chamber". She ran down the hill and burst through
the door to the academy. She looked around at the class, all sitting in there seats. She
stood there, red as a strawberry, as the class glared at her with annoyance. Iruka was the
first to speak. "Miriko, please take your seat. After class we will discuss your punishment
for being late....for the forth time in a row this week!" Miriko slowly started walking to
her seat. Iruka yelled, "Hurry up! We don't have all day to wait for you to sit!" Miriko
zipped up to her seat and sat down next to Ino and Shikamaru's daughter Sazune. Sazune,
Miriko's best friend in the entire world, leaned over to her and softly said, "Where have
you been! Iruka sensei has had us waiting here for 5 minutes now waiting for you!"
Miriko whispered back as Iruka began to speak. "I had to run 10 miles in 15 minutes! Do
you think that is easy? I'm practically dead!" Iruka looked up at the two, locked in
conversation. "Miriko-san, don't you think you have wasted enough of this class's time
getting here? Perhaps it is time for you to be quiet and learn something in this class!
Iruka returned to the board. "Alright, now, its time we all practice Henge No-Jutsu, being
that it is one of the most used and most important Justus out there. So, Miriko, would you
please come up here and demonstrate Henge for us?" Now Miriko was in big trouble.
Henge was her worst Jutsu and Iruka was picking her out because he new it was. She
walked up to the front. "Alright, now do Henge." Iruka said. Miriko was trembling with
fear. The droplets of sweat were showering down her face. She took a huge breath,
gulped, and did the hand seal. "Henge No-Jutsu!" The blue swirling energy surrounded
her as she began the Jutsu. A puff of smoke burst around her as a small pop was heard.
The smoke slowly faded away...leaving a mutated midget sized Iruka standing in
Miriko's place! Iruka was infuriated. "How dare you! Do it again and do it right this
time!" The midget Iruka nervously smiled and turned back into Miriko. Once again, she
preformed the hand seal. The charka and smoke once again surrounded her, another pop
sound......and.....a perfect transformation or Iruka stood before the class! For the first
time in the past 3 consecutive years at the school, she had preformed it correctly! Iruka
was astounded. "I....I can't believe you did it! That's excellent!" The whole class
applauded, and Miriko returned to her seat.
Meanwhile, Naruto was in a mad rush to make it to the gathering in the village. He
dashed down hills, past trees, over ravines, and even jumping over an occasional house.
"Dammit! I need to get down there quick! I can't afford to miss any of this!" Naruto was
so busy worrying if he would make it, he didn't see the tree in front of him. Running at
full speed, he slammed right into the tree. Stumbling back, he fell over and began rolling
down a hill. He rolled past Ino and Shikamaru's daughter Sazune. "Hello Naruto-sama,
nice day isn't......" but before she could finish her sentence, Naruto had rolled past her
house and down into the village.
