Naruto: Finally were on our way! No thanks to Kakashi-sensei!
Kakashi: I had an explanation for why I was late.
Sakura: Yeah a fake explanation.
Demonyokokuramafan: Well to make it up, Kakashi-sensei has to do the disclaimer!
Sasuke: *chuckles*
Kakashi: Fine. Demonyokokuramafan does not own Naruto or any of the characters in it.
Chapter 3
Sasuke and his team headed at a steady, quick pace towards the village of their destination. Kakashi was in the front of the assassin's cage, Naruto was on the left, Sakura was on the right, and Sasuke was in the back. Both Sasuke and Kakashi had their sharingan eyes glowing so they could defend the most vulnerable places of attack from an ambush. Naruto was strolling along lazily, grumbling about, none other than, ramen.
"Ah, man! The one day I really needed it, I forgot my Ramen!" the blonde screeched. He had been going on like this for about two hours and everyone, even the usually lenient Kakashi, was getting to their breaking point of tolerance.
"Naruto! Give it a rest why don't you! You can live without ramen until we get back to the village tomorrow!" Sakura shrieked, with Naruto yelping at the force of a freight train colliding with his face. The blonde was sent flying through ten thick barked trees, landing on the ground in a pile of a mess. Kakashi just sighed wearily as he carried on pulling the cage up to where Naruto was lying on the ground.
"Naruto, I know you're hungry and all. We are catching fish when we set up camp, though. Also, there are plenty of berries and nuts in these forests," the Jounin told the hyper kid with a wink. Naruto only ate ramen so Kakashi was always trying to get him to eat fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods. Naruto straightened into a sitting position on the rough, rocky ground. Sticking his tongue out childishly, he scowled at his teacher.
"Kakashi-sensei! You know I don't eat those things! Stop trying to convince me!" he screamed out as he tried to stand. Sasuke watched Naruto as his close friend/ rival bounced up swiftly to his feet. His eyebrow raised the slightest bit as Naruto's face turned twisted with pain and he fell on his butt to the floor. A chuckle was heard shortly after; Sakura looking at Kakashi a little ashamed.
"You nailed him pretty good, Sakura. Next time, though, can you please be a little easier?" the elder man asked the cherry blossom. Sakura giggled a little, though she did feel bad for hurting her comrade. Her emerald green eyes landed on Sasuke as the avenger made his way to the injured member of the team and held out his hand, looking away.
"Come on, Baka. Get up," was all he said, quick and straight to the point. Naruto
looked away from Sasuke, folding his arms over his chest.
"I don't need any help, Teme. I can get up on my own," the knuckle head answered, trying to be his normal, independent self. He stood up to prove his point when he screamed out and fell back, hitting Sasuke's chest when the Uchiha moved behind him, knowing this would happen.
"Yeah, you do," Sasuke said with a smirk as he pulled his fellow ninja's arm over his shoulder, putting the weight of Naruto on him to help the boy walk. His sharingan eyes moved to Sakura who watched this with pleasure, glad that the two were getting along so well after Sasuke's betrayal.
"Sakura apologize to Naruto and then let's get to the campsite so we can rest," Sasuke told the cotton-candy pink haired girl. Sakura only nodded glumly.
"Sorry, Naruto," she mumbled as Sasuke nodded with approval , pulling Naruto along with him. Sakura followed him, and Kakashi pulled the cart along, Naruto complaining all the way about having to rely on help, though he was glad to have friends to help even if he wouldn't admit it.
