For the love of Naruto, somebody ANBU this. xD I have no beta reader, either. -.-; Alright ya well, here we go.
Chapter two
Food (Naruto), Cherry Blossoms (Sakura), Scarecrow (Kakashi), and Sasuke wandered away in the direction of the Hokage's place at their own pace. They did have pay to collect for saving the dolphin, you know.
After the business of getting payed, each set off to one's own destination. Sasuke, no longer having a family to revenge since the deed was done, seriously contemplated suicide. He decided against it because of one new found glory in his life: the supposedly dead snakeboy, Orochimaru. He would have gone to him for power, had he not already killed his idiot brother weasel (Itachi). Instead, he made it his lifes desire to kill this man instead. Nothin' better than a fresh kill in the morning to knock you to your senses!
Sakura decided it better to stalk Sasuke today than run up to him. She was not in the mood to be ignored, and much prefered to not be seen at the moment.
Naruto, being hungry after that spar with Sakura in the dolphin's (Iruka's) room, headed for the academy. He had to pick up Iruka's twin, also named Iruka, first, how else could he get a hot meal from ichiraku? He arrived at the academy, searching around for Iruka. Unknown to him, Kakashi had followed him much like Sakura followed Sasuke. The only difference being Kakashi is a much better stalker. He had the intent to jump out and scare Naruto, but stopped dead when he, and Naruto both, saw Iruka #2 dead. (Oh yes! A plot device!)
It just so happened Sasuke (and therefore, Sakura) were passing the academy when Naruto let off a shrill cry of "What the-" but was cut short by an explosion. Sasuke stopped walking, and there watching. Sakura, being the responsible little one she is, ran into the building. Kakashi did so, too.
Inside, Orochimaru was standing over Naruto. "Yes, Sasuke. Yes! Come with me! I will make you happy! Very happy!"
"Happy, why?" replied Naruto.
"Why indeed..." The supposedly dead snakeboy rubbed his chin with his forefinger in thought. In this pause, Sasuke jumped forward.
"I WILL AVENGE THE AKATSUKI, YOU TRAITORRRR!" he shrieked uncharacteristically.
Snakeboy merely laughed at this. "Like you would know what you're getting yourself in-" At this moment, Sasuke had thrown a shuriken, landing it quite cleanly into the snakeboy's throat. Blood gushed out of his mouth, seeing as how the shuriken had cut so cleanly.
"Ah, what a clean cut Sasuke. If only you were that clean and innocent.." said Kakashi half to himself. Sakura looked scared out of her wits, for what reason, only she would know. It was a habit of hers to stand around looking frightened and useless. Apparently, it was a good tactic to get hot men, according to movies. Naruto had long since passed out from hunger, and the dead Iruka rose again.
"Kakashi... I have to tell you something..." said the legless form of Iruka.
"You love me and want me, blah blah blah. I know; I'm just so hot, huh?" Kakashi blurted out sarcastically.
"Actually, ye-" Iruka disappeared into hell at this point. It is still a game among children to this day to guess why, at that very moment, he was tugged down.
Team seven proceeded out. Seeing as how their teacher and friend was now dead, you could imagine how sad they were. Only imagine, for they seemed perfectly content.
All returned home, and turned in for the night. The next day was much the same routine. Get up, ready, go to Tsunade's, get a mission. The mission they received today was quite strange, indeed.
"Glug gurg schlup you need to gurgle sccchlap go to the island glug glug of honest men." This was followed by a loud fizzing sound, a shriek of "KONOHAMARU, I SAID NO SALT AROUND TSUNADE-SAMA!" by Ebisu, and team 7 proceeding out quickly.
"The island of honest men... I guess Sasuke can't go. He lies to himself all the time." Naruto's voice was getting more devious by the minute. "He knows damn well he likes girls, he just denies himself the right to f-"
What interupted Naruto's speech, you ask? A fist. A solid, pale, bony fist that connected with his face double-time as soon as it made the decision to do so. Sasuke was very pissed, and it showed.
"HOW!" crunch, "DARE!" crunch, "YOU!" Naruto's face was a bloody pulp at this point. Kakashi had kept on walking right past them, and had now turned around and decided to let the boys quarrel. Sakura was Naruto's only hope. Unluckily for him, she would agree with whatever Sasuke decides to do.
He blacked out, and when he awoke he found he was surrounded by a sea breeze.
