Disclaimer: Naruto Does Not Belong to Me…..Yeah
It's A Joke Right?!
Chapter 4
Two ninja's walked through a now nearly sunless village, it was getting quite late and the two figures had remained relatively quiet thus far neither one breaking the silence placed upon them, Naruto continued to think as he traveled down the road with his new pink haired roommate.
'Well this has been an interesting day…first I can't find it in myself to be completely cold to Sakura then Granny tells me to report bright and early to meet with the prunes of the village that hate my guts and let's not forget I've been forced to room with the girl…no…lady……WOMEN!! that I'm supposed to hate AHHH!!' and as Naruto continued to think in rage Sakura was busy contemplating her own thoughts.
'Great I'm stuck with Naruto….not that that's bad but I'm sure he still hates me…he didn't even acknowledge me..let alone call me Sakura-chan like he always used to…..if only he understood how much I love him…and the fact I'm over Sasuke….I just hope he'll listen'
And as the two shinobi continued down the streets still both lost deep in thought, Sakura suddenly realized they were there, she mentally hit herself and reached into her pant pocket to begin her search for the set of keys.
Naruto was standing waiting patiently for Sakura to open her door she had been fumbling with the keys like a nervous child for several minutes until finally she found the right one and with that the door opened and she stepped inside along with her blond friend.
When Naruto walked inside he saw what he expected, at the entrance there was a small table with chairs, behind that was the kitchen and dead ahead was a small living room with three doors along the wall.
As Naruto walked in further he noticed that there was a hallway connected to the living room, he decided he should ask Sakura to find out where he can sleep, when Naruto turned around Sakura was sitting down on the couch letting go off a deep breath that she had been holding in.
"Sakura?"
"Hmmm?" was all he got as a reply.
"Where can I sleep for the night?"
Sakura moved her head from its slumped over the edge position to face him.
"Well down the hall is the bedroom area it has two beds….unless you want to sleep on the couch, but I wouldn't recommended it…you'll wake up with some nasty back pain" she said as happily as she could.
"And the three doors?" he asked pointing behind himself using his thumb.
"Closet space, bathroom, and pantry" Sakura answered with a small smile.
"hmm" was all he said before he went down the hall to unpack his things.
Sakura waited a few minutes until she got up and went down the hall to see if he needed help, when she walked around the corner she found him placing some of his things in the night stand next to the bed and the rest he kept in the back pack and slid under the bed.
Sakura went back down the hall and entered the bathroom only to exit several minutes later in a pair of pajamas, and when she returned to the bedroom she found that Naruto began to stretch and as he sat on the unoccupied bed and removed his jacket, sandals and headband, while Naruto did this Sakura decided to speak up.
"So…How was the training trip?" she asked with anticipation hoping to spark up a conversation.
"Good" was what Naruto said in return.
"Did you learn a lot of new Jutsus?" Sakura said trying to bring the conversation back to life.
"Yes" was the blonds response.
"What kinds?"
"Many different kinds"
"Like what?"
"To what end Sakura!! Isn't it clear I don't want to talk to you!!" he said as bitterly as he could.
Sakura's eyes widened and she began to feel tears form in her eyes, before Naruto could say anything else the light went out and Sakura had climbed in her bed, Naruto considered apologizing but then he couldn't he just couldn't.
And in the pit of his stomach something began to build……dread.
Back in the Hokage's office Jiriaya stood in front of Tsunade's desk talking to the said women.
"So that's why he acts like that" Tsunade said with a frown on her face.
"Yes unfortunately that's why Naruto is trying to act extremely cold towards Sakura" Jiriaya answered her with his eyes shut and his arms crossed over his chest.
"Wait hold on let me get this straight he still has his inhuman crush on her he just slowly began to harbor hate against her?"
"Yes but over time he began to hate her more and more to the point where he became so depressed he almost lost control to the fox" Jiriaya said sadly.
"I see" was all Tsunade said.
The two didn't speak for what seemed like several minutes as they wordlessly thought to themselves, Suddenly Jiriaya's head shot up from its lowered position "Hey how do you think he'll act when the counsel tells him….well you know" Jiriaya said with his signature perverted giggle.
Suddenly a vain throbbed on Tsunade's head as she grabbed the closest heavy object and chucked it at the over rated pervert before her.
The sun began to rise over the leaf village and as it did one Naruto Uzimaki stood upon the fourth Hokaga's stone head overlooking the village, Naruto had been standing on the monument for several hours just watching the sun rise, he had decided to leave a couple hours before Sakura woke up to keep from seeing her in the morning.
Naruto sighed not only did he feel horrible about his outburst last night but he also felt terrible about his cold attitude towards everyone.
"Maybe I'm over reacting with this way I'm acting towards Sakura and everyone else" Naruto had said out loud to no one in particular. Naruto jumped down onto the Hokaga's office and walked down the stairwell until he reached the double doors leading to the Hokage herself.
He knocked and knocked and knocked again but got no answer, after several more knocks he decided to check on Tsunade, as the door squeaked open slowly he pushed it far enough so he could slip in until the door let a very loud squeak, he paused.
'…..so much for being a ninja' Naruto thought as he slipped in.
As Naruto looked around he noticed the room was dark and he could barely see in front of his face, suddenly an object grazed his nose at high speed and hit the wall splattering and sending sharp shinny objects everywhere.
"HOLY SHIT!!" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs.
Suddenly the lights flicked on and Naruto was embraced in a tight hug by none other than Tsunade.
"Naruto I'm so sorry, I thought you were Shizune with more paperwork" Tsunade said trying to calm Naruto down.
"AND YOU THREW A SAKE BOTTLE AT ME!!" Naruto screamed.
Tsunade just smiled and scratched the back of her head.
"Whatever you wanted to see me this morning?"
"Yes Naruto you see……isn't Sakura with you?"
"No" was all Naruto said.
"Ok…well what I must tell you is tomorrow the council wants you to fight to test your skill as a ninja"
"Ok that's fine anything else?" Naruto asked with little anticipation.
"Yes there is" Jiriaya said as he hopped in from the window with a smile.
As Naruto stood there he looked at Jiriaya as he walked out from the shadows and noticed his teacher had a black eye and a huge lump on his head.
"Ummmm Jiriaya-sama what happened to you're…." Naruto said with slight curiosity.
"Well you see Naruto after you left with Sakura I was sent on a top secret mission and hundreds of Ninja attacked me and-"
"Bullshit I flicked an eraser at him" Tsunade said with a smile.
Jiriaya's head slumped and he sighed.
Naruto just laughed and let out a small smile "Sounds about right" was all Naruto said before he paused and asked "Oh what were you going to say Tsunade-sama?"
Tsunade let out a small smile before saying "Yes in fact there is one more thing and I think you'll find this quite….unlike anything you've ever heard"
One of Naruto's eye brows rose and he slightly cocked his head to the side as Tsunade began to speak.
Sakura was walking through the village to the Hokage's office to see if Naruto was there.
'Well I guess I shouldn't have been that assertive but he did kind of explode at me, well maybe he just needs time, if only I had told him years ago that I moved on from Sasuke ever since he and Naruto had that battle on the monument'
(Flashback)
Naruto stood on the fourths monument and Sasuke stood on the firsts head overlooking the damaged leaf village, the two had been battling for hours none stop constantly beating each other to a pulp and throughout the whole fight they both stayed perfectly even neither winning over the other.
Sakura stood several hundred feet behind Naruto watching as the two constantly hit each other, the entire village watched in awe as the two shinobi battled it out sending punches and kicks at each other finally the two stopped and looked at one other and Sasuke smiled as he activated his level two curse seal, and as massive chakra exploded around him everyone flinched except for Naruto.
Sasuke let of an insane laugh as he said "well Naruto what do you think I finally managed to fully master my power in fact I'm nearly ten times stronger"
Tsunade stood next to Sakura with a grim look on her face as her eyes widened in horror "No he can't be that strong it's not possible…I don't even think…Naruto can win"
As Sakura heard this she began to shake as tears fell from her face "Naruto……NARUTO YOU CAN DO IT!!" she ended with a yell.
Everyone turned to look at Sakura, everyone slowly began to cheer at Naruto and as this happened Sasuke just frowned but slowly Naruto began to smirk as demonic red chakra released from his body.
Slowly Naruto looked up at Sasuke with blood shot red eyes and he slowly developed one chakra tail behind him, and then eventually three and as Naruto stood there he began to yell but with his voice mixed with the foxes.
"Are you ready Sasuke?!" Naruto said In a demonic voice as he charged at his best friend.
(Flashback End)
As Sakura shakes her head from the memory she noticed that she is standing in front of the Hokage's main door.

As Naruto, Tsunade and Jiriaya stand inside the Hokage's office none of them speaking Naruto finally yells in a panicked voice "You've got to be kidding me It's a Joke right?!"

Ahem well my only excuse for not posting this chapter sooner is I was busy hanging out with my really great friend AlphaGamer (That's not his real name but that's his Fanfic profile) and when I did have time to write I would get distracted or I would hit one of those writer blocks like crazy, but anyway all excuses aside I'm going to spend the next few days on writing chapters because my life will be getting very busy with School and all.
Review because that would make me smile….isn't a smile worth a small review?
Reviewer appreciation corner

Metrios : Yes I will admit sometimes I'll think of something and I don't write it but most of the time the reason for that is that I just can't put what I want to write into words, also thanks for the complement.
wind797 : Yeah I know it was a little faster than It should have been…but I did the same thing once….moving on.
