Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: Team Kakashi

Winter

Kakashi decided that his students had been really well behaved recently and had trained to their fullest extent. So, to reward them, he took them up to the local ski resort where they could enjoy themselves!!

"I'm AWESOME at snowboarding!" said Naruto as he pulled his snowboard out of their little bus that they had arrived in. He also had all of his matching orange ski equipment and finally brought his goggles back so they could do something for once.

"I've only skied once or twice!" said Sakura even though it was probably a lie. For some reason, girls just have it in their heads that if they pretend to be really bad at something then it's cool. But anyway, she had all her matching PINK things!

Sasuke decided not to comment. He had never skied before but he didn't need anyone to know that. Besides, he was sure he'd be able to learn in only a few minutes time. He probably already knew how. As for HIS ski equipment, they weren't necessarily all one color, but each article of clothing had one or more fans featured on it. For example, there was a fan on each side of his earmuffs and on the end of his scarf and one on each mitten. OH those Uchihas! Or… THAT Uchiha!

Kakashi observed this. "Want to make sure everyone knows you're an Uchiha?" he said as he pulled his skies out.

"I want everyone to know that I am THAT Uchiha." Sasuke said.

"You're all skiing?!" demanded Naruto, sounding appalled. "Only ugly people ski. The COOL people snowboard."

"Are you saying I'm ugly, Naruto?!" said Sakura.

"It's okay for GIRLS to ski!" said Naruto. "I was referring to MEN who ski!"

So, without any further argumentation, the four went into the lodge and changed into their varying matching clothing. Then they put on their boots and marched outside to where their skies were.

"I don't know about you guys, but I snowboard EVERY WINTER so there's no way I'm starting out on some easy slope." Said Naruto as he buckled his snowboard.

"We're not going on an easy one anyway." Said Sasuke as he stood by his skies and waited to watch someone else put theirs on.

"Can we go on the bunny hills?" asked Sakura as if they weren't talking about not going on the easy ones.

"I'll go with majority." Said Kakashi as he pulled out his little perverted book and put his skies on all in one motion.

"Then let's go on 'The Crushinator'!!" said Naruto, pointing to the top of the mountain.

"How about one with a name that doesn't sound like the name of some little kid's robot?" Sasuke said as he opened up the mountain map.

"Sasuke, you're just afraid of The Crushinator because it's a black diamond." Said Naruto.

"That's not true." Said Sasuke. He genuinely didn't want to go down The Crushinator simply because its name was stupid. "How about 'Insanity'? While the name is still stupid, it's not as bad as The Crushinator."

"Fine!" said Naruto, looking at the map to see that Insanity was also a black diamond. "We can ride that lift up there." He pointed at a four-person lift that just so happened to be sitting right next to them. Everyone shrugged and got in line and loaded on the chairlift with no problem whatsoever.

"Sasuke, you're supposed to wear your skies." Said Kakashi.

"You do it your way, I'll do it mine." Said Sasuke as he laid his skies across the four laps.

"I REFUSE to allow Sasuke's skies to be on my lap!" said Naruto.

"Naruto, don't be such a jerk!" said Sakura. "It's only for a few minutes!"

"How do you expect to get off the lift?" Naruto asked Sasuke.

"…Walk?" Sasuke said as if it was obvious.

"Okay…" said Naruto.

"Which way are we going to go after we get off the lift?" Sakura asked.

"Insanity is off to the left." Said Sasuke, pulling out his map again. "So I suppose we should go left."

"WOW Sasuke!" said Naruto. "Did you figure that out all by yourself?!"

"Naruto, don't make me push you off this lift." Said Sasuke.

"You couldn't!" said Naruto. "We have the safety bar!!" Of course they were wearing the safety bar. Only stupid people don't wear the safety bar. People prove absolutely nothing when they don't wear their safety bar… with the exception of the fact that they're stupid enough to think that it's cool to not use the safety bar.

"We're almost at the top." Kakashi said as he lifted the safety bar up ONLY because it was time to get off the lift, not because he thought he was cool by not wearing the lift.

They reached the part where you're supposed to get off. Everyone glided off to the left except for Sasuke who had to awkwardly stumble down the hill only after picking up his skies. He struggled a bit to put them on, commenting on the fact that there was snow or something stuck in the buckles, but it was okay since Naruto was having trouble buckling his snowboard ANYWAY!!

"Okay, race to the bottom, Sasuke?!" said Naruto as he got in his ready position.

"Whatever, Naruto." Said Sasuke.

"I'll beat you!!" said Naruto. "I'll show you that I'm better at you!"

"Guys, let's just ski!" said Sakura.

"No!!" said Naruto. "I've already turned it into a competition so it's too late to go back now!"

"Fine, Naruto." Said Sasuke. "I'll show you that, once again, I'm better."

"Ready?!" said Naruto. "Set…GO!!"

With that, the two of them were off. Naruto whizzed down the mountain, trying not to look back. Sakura decided that she'd just ski off too since she didn't want to deal with the two of them competing. Sasuke started moving forward, immediately got the front end of one of his skies stuck in a powdery area and proceeded to tumble until he finally came to a stop in a ditch.

Kakashi pushed off slightly and went over to Sasuke, picking up all of his lost equipment on the way.

"Let me guess." Kakashi said. "You've never skied before."

"Maybe." Said Sasuke.

"To save you from any further embarrassment, I'll let you in on a secret." Kakashi said. "All you have to do is use your Sharingan on a good skier and you won't have to worry about it. Like…that guy."

Kakashi pointed to a guy as he sped by them so fast, he was just a tiny speck in the distance in a matter of seconds.

"Okay…maybe some other guy." Kakashi said.

Sasuke looked thoughtful for a moment and then decided to take Kakashi's advice. Kakashi skied off casually, not taking his eyes off his book as Sasuke activated his Sharingan and searched around for a good skier to copy.

After he had successfully swindled all the awesome skiing moves he could, he stood up, put all his stuff back on and was off! He was MAD awesome now. He was zig-zagging, going over jumps and blowing right through the powder. In only a matter of minutes, he reached the bottom of the mountain where Kakashi and Sakura were waiting.

"Where's Naruto?" he asked.

"He tried to go over a jump and tumbled into a ditch." Sakura answered. "There was a pipe in the ditch and he got stuck under the pipe."

"And you just left him there?" Kakashi said.

"…You did too." Sakura pointed out.

"I had already passed him by that time." Kakashi reminded her.

"So I guess I win AGAIN." Sasuke said with a sigh. "I have to find myself a more worthy rival."

"I heard that!!" yelled Naruto as he came over. "I would have beaten you if I hadn't fallen!"

"Sure you would have." Said Sasuke.

"I WOULD HAVE!!!" Naruto insisted. "REMATCH!!"

"Not again!" said Sakura, slapping her forehead.

It didn't take long before the four of them were back on the four-person chairlift. Of course, Sasuke took off his skies and laid them across the laps of his compadres, much to their dismay. But he wasn't about to change his habit NOW! He would just look like he did it by accident the first time around so now he had to deal with taking off his skies every time he got on the chairlift. OH WOE IS SASUKE!!!
