Chapter Three

"Well, well, see what they said about you, Byaku?" a girl with raven black hair asked her pet wolf as they sat there, reading every letter that came to them.

"I see that they hate me for calling you an idiot, which is a fact," Byaku frowned a bit. "I'll try to stop, but it's such a shame to stop calling an idiot an idiot," he added with a sigh.

"Hey," the girl growled, "Anyway, I won't be answering every letter that come in since I'm not a VJ or something like that, and this is not MTV," she said as she laughed a bit. "Now, onto the story, okay?"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

A boy with raven black hair was standing on a large green field. He was panting, and in front of him was a rag doll that was stabbed by several shurikens.

He had done several training, like walking on a tree, walking on the water, running laps around the field, and finally aiming shurikens at the rag doll.

So far, it had been peaceful for him since no one came. It was a secluded place, after all. It took at least fifteen minutes for someone to arrive there by jumping from one tree to another, so he was sure that no one is crazy enough to go to that field while there are many training grounds in the village.

Okay, so he is crazy enough to do that, but by knowing what he had gone through, maybe you'd think he's not that crazy, and by being in one of the training grounds in the village, he's crazier.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. flashback -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

A boy with raven black hair was walking away from two fighting girls. They were choking each other, pulling each other's hair, and other stuff like that.

He sighed and turned around the corner that led to the training ground, but stopped when he saw a group of nin standing there, doing nothing. Probably waiting for someone, and somehow he knew that that someone is him.

"Oi Sasuke! I'll be your training partner today!" a blonde haired boy shouted as loud as he can, and Sasuke was sure that the entire village could hear him.

"Oi stupid, he won't want to train with you! He's training with a genius like me!" a boy with raven black hair that was tied into ponytail –a spiky one at that- shouted as he pointed himself, "I, Nara Shikamaru, the genius with IQ point 200, will be his training partner today!" he said smugly.

"A genius from a genius clan should be his training partner," a boy with long dark hair said as he stepped up. "And I, Hyuuga Neji, will be his training partner for today," he added.

"No, he's going to train under my supervision like before," a man with silver hair said as he stood up there coolly, "Only I can teach him how to master the sharingan except Itachi," he added.

"Oh? And what about me? You're only a jounin, I'm a sennin!" a man with white hair shouted at Kakashi.

"My brother is not going to train with any of you, he's training with me," Itachi suddenly said, and all attention was directed at him.

"Hey! Since when did he come? Quick! Call the Anbu and the Hokage!" most of the nin there shouted in a panicked state except Kakashi and Jiraiya who managed to stay calm.

"So as I was saying, Sasuke is going to train under my supervision," Kakashi said calmly.

"Oh no he's not," Itachi said as he smirked smugly at Kakashi.

"He's training with me, his rival!" Naruto shouted.

"He's training with a genius like me!" Shikamaru shouted, not wanting to lose.

"He's training with a genius from the other famed clan," Neji calmly said, not wanting to make fun of himself or degrade himself by shouting like children.

"He's training with a talented sennin," Jiraiya said.

"He's training with his own brother," Itachi said.

"But he hated you!" Naruto shouted and pointed his index finger at Itachi.

"And what difference does it make? He's still training with me," Itachi said as he shrugged nonchalantly.

"He wouldn't want to!" Naruto shouted.

"And he wouldn't want to train with you either!" Shikamaru shouted at Naruto.

"But we're always training together! We're team seven!" Naruto shouted back at Shikamaru.

"It was the past! And the past is past!" Shikamaru shouted back.

"If you're going to be a philosopher, then go now and never come back!" Naruto countered with another shout that wasn't less loud than Shikamaru's.

"He always liked challenge, so he'll train with me," a boy with messy red hair suddenly said as he had just came.

"Gaara!" the others exclaimed as they saw him coming.

"I'll be the perfect opponent for him," he said.

"I will," a boy with glasses said as he walked in calmly to the training ground.

"Oi Shino! I thought you said that you're not interested in him!" a boy with messy black hair walked in with his loyal dog in tow. "And you said you won't interfere me!" he added angrily.

"He's with me," a boy with light blue hair and glasses said as he walked in calmly, like he had always been, and silently, being the professional spy he is.

"What do you want? You're a spy from the Sound village!" Naruto shouted at him.

"So what? Gaara's from the Sand village," he said calmly.

"So you're not one of the candidate as well," Naruto said as he pointed Gaara and pointed the empty space at the field, "You're out," he said.

"Oh no I'm not," Gaara defended himself, "Nins from the Sand village are more suited to be his training partner than the nins from the Leaf village!"

"What? How dare you-!" Naruto was about to punch him in the face when Neji stopped him.

"If you're hot-blooded as ever, he won't want to train with you," he said calmly, "No one wanted to train with a hot-blooded person," he added, and it made Naruto stop, even though it was forced.

"Hah! You hear that! That's why he'll choose a calm person like me!" Shikamaru teased Naruto.

"But all you're doing is watch the cloud and not train! You'll never be a good training partner for him!" Naruto countered.

"Okay, okay, so let's just ask him who he wanted to be his training partner today!" Kakashi finally shouted, getting many protests from the nins there, but they finally agreed.

"Sasuke, who-" Kakashi was about to ask when he stopped, noticing that Sasuke wasn't there anymore.

"Where did he go?" Naruto asked as he looked around, and saw no trace of Sasuke.

"Too bad, and I was about to play with him," Orochimaru sighed as he leaned on a tree, and most of the young nins shouted in surprise, horror, terror and shock.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Meanwhile, looked from Sasuke's point of view

"He's training with his own brother," Itachi said.

"Why must I? I prefer to train with a dog than you," Sasuke hissed.

The quarrel lasted longer than he thought, and it wasn't what he had planned. He had walked away from the two fighting girls and into the farthest training ground from the center of the city so he could at least gain some peace, but those stupid loud monkeys just wouldn't leave him. At least that's what he thought.

After the appearance of Gaara, he decided that it had become much more crowded than he had expected, and so, he decided to leave for the training ground far from the village.

"Stupid loud nins," he grunted and went away.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. end of flashback -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

He was grateful that the horde of loud and obnoxious people –for him- didn't chase him there… yet. He wasn't sure how long it would last, but the second they came, he'd go back to his home and let no one enter it.

And he mean it, no one. Not even his brother even if he wanted to, or even if he begged for him to let him inside.

He sat on the green grass, savoring the feeling of the cold grass against his hot burned skin. His body was all sweaty and it wasn't long until he'd call it a day.

He got up and was about to do the aiming practice once again before he stopped, when he heard a familiar sound. The sound of shoes against tree branches, and he was damn sure that there were not just two people or three.

He closed his eyes and exhaled. He had thought that they would come sooner or later.

He turned towards the source of the sound, and saw a horde of nins coming towards him.

"Sasuke! Train with me!" Naruto shouted as he didn't let his pace drop.

"No! With me!" Shikamaru shouted.

"If you want to prove yourself as a genius, then you'll have to defeat me first," Neji said calmly, but loud enough for Sasuke to hear.

"You're training with me to master sharingan," Kakashi said, just as loud as Neji.

"You're training with me! A sennin is always better than a jounin!" Jiraiya shouted.

"You're training with me! Look! Even Akamaru-chan agrees!" Kiba shouted as he held Akamaru to his chest.

"My bugs agree that you have to train with me," Shino said calmly, jumping from one tree branch to another while being surrounded by a group of bugs.

"My little brother, surely you'll train with me, right?" Itachi asked.

"Aren't you going to train with me, who had given you power?" Orochimaru asked.

"Or with me, who had fooled even you," Kabuto said as he positioned his glasses.

"If you don't train with me, I'll kill you," Gaara said calmly and the others automatically shot him a strange look.

Before they were even ten feet away from him, Sasuke fled from the soon-to-be training-ground-of-doom, and ran to his house, where he –hopefully- would find peace.

On the way, he cursed the witch who had given him the strange potion. After she had given him that, strange things started to occur around him, and he didn't even know what happened.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Hahahah! Poor Sasuke-kun," the girl laughed maniacally as he had recorded every sentence the nins said to him. It was fun to hear, and she could entertain herself with that.

"Laughing on top of other people's misery," Byaku shook his head.

"Isn't that potion made for this purpose?" she asked the white wolf.

"What? Laughing on top of other people's misery?" Byaku asked back.

"Not that you stupid," she frowned and half-glared at the white wolf, "Hey, at least I only said it once and you've said it multiple times," she added.

The white wolf could only shake his head in disbelief.

"Well, anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and if you do, please review!" she said hyperly.
