Naruto Primer: Team Kurenai
Jedi Master
Kurenai is a bitter woman on the warpath. Who would have ever thought that she would end up with all three of the least important genins with the exception of Tenten? She had never expected to win the competition in a zillion years but now that she had, she now felt that her students were THAT MUCH better than everyone else's.
"CONGRATULATIONS TEAM!!!!" Kurenai HOLL-ered as she hugged each of her students individually. Except for Shino. That would be gross. "I'm so proud of all of you!"
"Yay!" cheered Hinata.
"YAHOO!!" cheered Kiba.
"Hoo-rah." Cheered Shino.
"However!" she said, putting her finger up in the air. "In case you didn't notice, the competition that we won was the dancing one. Also, the three-legged race but ONLY because the other teams all had some technical difficulties whether it be turmoil between them or just the fact that they don't know their directions very well."
"So what?" said Kiba. "We still won."
"Yes, but as a teacher, it is my duty to discuss the things you did wrong in every event!" Kurenai said.
"Can't we discuss the things we did right?" Hinata requested.
"We COULD, but first we discuss the things we did wrong." Kurenai replied. "That way, we can learn from our mistakes and improve on them! First of all, I did find that all of you put only a mediocre effort into the Triathlon. Hinata finished her leg third, Shino finished his second and Kiba finished his third. Since the Asuma team sort of dropped out, that means we finished LAST! LAST! Is that good?"
"We still won in the end…" said Kiba. "I mean, I was against Sasuke and Lee. They were BORED when I got to the end. Can you even begin to imagine how heartbreaking that was for me?"
"That's no excuse!" said Kurenai, crossing her arms. "Then, what's worse, you ALSO came in last during the Questionnaire challenge!"
"No, we tied for last!" Kiba argued.
"Yeah but…you passed on a question…before you even heard it." Kurenai reminded them. "I was SO ashamed."
"Pretty much the only thing we know about Shino is his name." Hinata confessed. "He just doesn't tell us anything."
"It's true." Said Shino with a shrug.
"We figured we'd just keep the challenge going and not bother to take up any time!" Kiba finished.
"You realize, of course, that that doesn't work for me at all." Kurenai said. "But, if that's your excuse, I'll have to go with it. But you two had NO excuse for not knowing how long Kiba's had Akamaru! Even I knew that!"
Akamaru barked a few times. "Well, they know that NOW, Akamaru." Kiba said to him. "Unfortunately, they didn't know at the time."
"Onward to the Three-Legged race!" Kurenai said. "Well, I can't say anything bad about it. You guys won! You had a good strategy. It might not have been entirely honest, but you can't get by in life being completely honest!"
"YEAH!" said Kiba, raising his hand for Shino to slap him five. Shino only stared at his hand for a moment before Kiba took a hint and lowered it.
"Now for the cooking contest…" Kurenai said.
"That was dumb." Said Kiba.
"Slightly." Kurenai admitted. "I'm a bit unhappy about the fact that there were bugs in the cake, though, and you managed to come in last place again."
"Didn't we place above the store bought cake though?" Hinata asked.
"Er…that's besides the point!" said Kurenai. "If they had made something, they would have placed about you guys because their food, even if it was gross, would have still been edible! I think only one team legitimately made anything in that event because, frankly, you'd have to be pretty stupid not to know that something fishy went on with Team Kakashi."
"What?" said the three of them obliviously.
"Anyway," said Kurenai, clearing her throat. "The dancing competition… I'm proud of you, Kiba and Hinata! Not only were you able to hold out for a long time, but when it came down to whoever could hold onto each other longer, you two proved to be better than Naruto and Sakura! And then you were able to separate them!"
"Hurray!!" cheered Hinata and Kiba.
"Well, that's it for my synopsis." Said Kurenai.
"What now?" asked Kiba. "Do we celebrate?"
"Uh…you guys can do whatever you want, I guess." Kurenai said. "I have a Jounin and Teachers Party to go to."
"Didn't you just have one of those?" questioned Shino.
"…No…" said Kurenai suspiciously as she waved her hand in front of Shino's face like a Jedi Master.
"…Right…" said Shino uneasily.
"So, enjoy the rest of your day off!" Kurenai said, waving to them as she walked off.
