Yari awoke to a boy with blond hair staring him in the face. "GAAAA!!!" screamed Yari. "Geez, Naruto, did you have to do that???" "Well, we're late for breakfast. Don't want to keep the old man waiting." "Ramen for breakfast? I could get used to this." The two dashed outside.


Meanwhile, our favorite cloud-watching Chuunin walked outside his house to see Choji standing there. "C'mon Shikamaru, we're meeting Ino at Ichiraku for breakfast." "Ino? Tch. Troublesome. "Well, we're apparently meeting the new ninja from Suna." "Very well. Let's go."


At Ichiraku, Naruto and Yari were each on their fifth bowl of ramen. Naruto finished half a second before Yari did. "Dang! You beat me!" Yari cried in defeat. "Ha! Still the champ!" yelled Naruto. "But, I must admit, you almost won. Good job." As they were asking for more bowls, they heard footsteps. The students of Team 10 walked into Ichiraku. "Hey guys!" shouted Naruto. "This is Yari!" "Ah, the transfer ninja." Shikamaru sat down net to Yari. They started eating. Thought's passed through Team 10's head. "Well, he's cute, but my heart belongs to Sasuke," thought Ino. "Hm. He seems interesting," Shikamaru thought. "Who'll pay for the meal?" wondered Choji

When they finished eating (Choji – 8, Naruto – 8, Yari – 8, Shikamaru – 1, Ino – ½ ) they paid for the meal and got up to leave. They all started to head to one of the training grounds. As they were walking and talking, they passed Kankuro and Temari. Yari tripped and nearly fell on his face. "Kankuro??? Temari???" he screamed. They turned. Kankuro was the first to recognize him. "Yari!" They ran up to each other and performed an elaborate highfive/handshake. "You, uh, know these guys?" asked Naruto. "We were best friends at the academy," Kankuro replied. "Heh. I used to have such a crush on Temari," admitted Yari. Temari gave the slightest of blushes, and Shikamaru gave Yari the slightest of death stares. "But, you know, I'm totally over that now." Shikamaru loosened a fist he didn't know he was clenching. Temari proceeded to clobber Yari over the head. "Owww!!!" "Tch. Baka," murmured Temari. "Hey guys, you wanna come train with us?" asked Naruto. "Sure!" Kankuro happily replied. "Hmph. No way." Temari stomped off. "Umm…sorry, I guess not," Kankuro grumbled, and walked off after Temari. Shikamaru clamied he had some paperwork to do, and walked off as well. Choji followed his good friend. Ino looked at Naruto. "Sorry Yari, but there's no way I'm hanging out with Naruto." She walked away. "Hey, well same to you!" screamed Naruto. "Let it go, man," replied Yari.


Naruto and Yari walked to the training ground, and started to train. After a little while, Yari had to empty his bladder. He walked off a little deeper into the forest. After his business was done, he found an awesome training spot and decided to stay there for a while. A couple of minutes later, a boy with jet black, spiky hair appeared in front of him. "This is my spot. Move," the boy commanded. This really ticked Yari off. "I don't see your name on it!" "I'm Sasuke Uchiha; if you haven't heard o-" Yari interrupted him. "I haven't heard of you, and I don't really care. I'll fight you for it, but there's no way I'm giving it to you." "You really haven't heard of me. Bring it on, then."
