We Fight Together
Chapter Four
The Rise of Konoha's Future
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group rushed in and found free seat without much difficulty. Well, on the way Naruto and Sasuke had to shake off a fangirl or three, Ino yelled at Shikamaru to wake up who muttered 'troublesome' under his breath (somehow he fell asleep leaning against the hallway wall), Hinata hurried to catch up, Shino paused to get some of his bugs, Chouji finished four bags of chips, Kiba waited for Akamaru to...yeah, and Sakura urged everyone to hurry.
Yeah, without much difficulty.
Soon they were busy with a game of cheat (gotta love it) as they were called to take the test in the other room. First to go was Shino followed by Chouji and then Sakura, and so on. The last to be called was Naruto and he smiled when he heard his friends' encouraging words.
"You better pass dobe."
"Troublesome..."
"I'll kick your ass if you fail Naruto!" 'BARK!'
And the like.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NANI! was the word that burst into Naruto's head when he heard what he had to do.
A Bunshin.
And his worst jutsu.
I'M SO SCREWED!
Indeed the blond was screwed.
"You fail Naruto."
"Iruka," the brunette turned to Mizuki. "why don't we let him pass? You know how much he wants to be a shinobi and he did make a bunshin this time."
Naruto brightened, hoping...
"Mizuki, all the other students were able to make 3 or more effective bunshins. Naruto made one and look at it, it's useless in battle."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto was sitting on the roof of a house near the Academy, hidden from the view of the people in the yard. Even so, his heightened senses picked up the hushed conversation of two women.
"Did you hear? That boy was the only one who didn't pass."
"Oh yeah? Heh, serves him right since he's-"
"Ssh! You know we shouldn't be talking about this."
The boy that they were talking about lowered his head, only to raise it when he saw a figure blocking the sun's rays.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Sorry, I'm feeling really lazy today)
"NARUTO!"
"Ah Iruka-sensei! You found me already!"
The blond leapt to his feet and grinned as Iruka studied him.
Hm? He looks worn out. What was he doing?
He was shaken out of his musings from Naruto's voice.
"I only got down a few jutsus but that's enough to pass, right?"
"Huh? What are you talking about Naruto?"
"Mizuki-sensei told me about the test and..." the sentence died in his throat as he watched Iruka's face go from shock to horror.
"Naruto! MOVE!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Yeah, extremely lazy...)
Naruto sighed as he trudged through the door of his home to meet his aniki's eye. Kakashi snapped his book shut and said calmly,
"Explain."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(...ugh...)
The next day
"Naruto!"
Naruto looked up to see his happy, yet pissed, friends. He grinned but took a seat and before any one of them could say anything, Iruka told them to settle down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team 10 already left with Asuma and Naruto lied, saying he had to go home right away for private matters. He leaned back and closed his eye as he remembered something five years ago.
Flashback
"Ino-pig!"
"Forehead girl!"
Naruto raised an eyebrow at the bickering girls.
"Sakura? Ino? What seems to be the problem?"
They turned to him.
"I'm obviously going to be with Sasuke-kun, right Naruto?"
"No way forehead girl! Sasuke-kun is mine!"
Naruto sighed as he quickly found the reason. Sasuke had suddenly become cold and broody to everyone. Personally, you had better chances talking to a rock than that boy-turned-ice-cube-overnight. He had to talk to him.
"Girls."
The two stopped their arguing to face Naruto expectantly.
"I really don't think Sasuke is interested in anyone." He held up a hand to stop them from interrupting.
"I think that you guys should focus growing stronger and who knows," he flashed them a grin. "Sasuke might notice one of you."
He was ready to enter the classroom but paused to add something else.
"Besides, if you become rivals for love, who else can you talk to about clothes and flowers?"
End Flashback
Naruto opened his eyes as he felt a familiar chakra signature come towards the door.
"Team 8, please meet me at training ground 15."
Naruto smiled before saying;
"Come on Hinata-chan, Shino. We shouldn't be late."
