Chapter 2 Part 2– Break him up

Naruto was pacing back and forth, hands behind his back. "WHERE THE HELL IS HE?" screamed Naruto "HE SAID ONE HOUR" "And I've been here for an hour waiting for you to notice im here." Came a voice out of the trees.

Naruto spun on the spot searching for the voice. Jiraya jumped down from the trees directly in front of him. "You know if you were in combat you would have been dead an hour ago." "But I didn't know…" Naruto protested. "It doesn't matter" shouted Jiraya "The point of a ninja is to not be detected. Why would I tell you i'm here? Baka!" Naruto crossed his arms looking sullen. "A ninja is always on guard" said Jiraya "Otherwise you die."

Jiraya drove home his point by pushing Naruto in the chest on that last statement. Naruto stumbled backward falling to the ground. "A true ninja would have stopped that." Jiraya snickered "Get up." Naruto jumped to his feet. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" he screamed "I'M THE HOKAGES SON." "SO WHAT!" shouted Jiraya "IN BATTLE THE ENEMY DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU'RE THE SON OF THE HOKAGE OR NOT." Naruto took a step back.. No one had ever spoken to him like this before.

Jiraya smirked. "I think you have a thing or two to learn so I brought one of your classmates. Come on down." He said gesturing to the trees. Leaping down from the branches came the girl with pink hair from his class. "Thank you for coming Sakura" said Jiraya "see if you can teach Naruto so manners as well as a bit of Chakra control." "Why should I have to learn from her?" said Naruto "she's not nearly as strong as I am."

"You think she's not strong as you, and yet she can do things you can't" he said. "Please demonstrate Sakura." Sakura gave Naruto an apologetic look. 'This was suppose to be a way for me to get closer to Naruto, not embarrass him.' She thought. 'Jiraya-sama said that I would be helping Naruto, but it just seems as though I am wounding his pride.' Resigned she walked back toward the forest. "WHERE THE HELL IS SHE GOING?" shouted Naruto still in a huff. "SHES SUPPOST TO BE TEACHING ME THINGS."

Sakura just kept walking directly for a tree. "isn't she going to move" naruto mumbled to him-self "she's going to run into the tree." Sakura kept walking, getting closer and closer until she was only a foot away from the tree. She took another step forward placing her foot on the tree and then began to walk up it. She walked farther and farther, reaching the highest branch and then walking out onto the branch, she hung upside down by her feet, arms crossed in front of her chest, staring at Jiraya and Naruto.

"Lets see you do that." Said Jiraya. "You bet I can!" said Naruto and ran head long toward the tree. "Yahhhhhhh" he yelled preparing him-self for the climb. He reached the tree and placed his first step on its trunk.

He was blasted backwards immediately and tumbled head over heals onto the ground. "Oh my God! Naruto!" shouted Sakura "Are you alright?" "Shut up!" shouted Naruto. Sakura recoiled as if hit by a sharp slap. His words stung. "Don't yell at the pretty girl Naruto you baka!" shouted Jiraya "Don't hate her because she's better then you." Naruto looked away from Jiraya with a sullen look on his face. "It looks as though you have to learn a lesson in humility as well as Chakra control." Said Jiraya. "Sakura help this idiot to learn to control his temper and skills and if he gives you any trouble come and get me." He said turning around and beginning to walk back toward the trees.

"What? You're just going to leave me here with her?" asked Naruto incredulously. "Yes Naruto." Said Jiraya "Make sure you learn a thing or two from her." Then Jiraya disappeared. "Damn pervy-sage!" shouted Naruto punching the ground.

Sakura had come down from the tree by this point. "Naruto" she said putting her hand on his arm. "GET OFF ME!" shouted Naruto. "I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" Sakura recoiled again, and Naruto rose. He began to walk back in the direction of the forest.

Sakura had also gotten to her feet. But she wasn't walking toward the forest. Sakura was shaking. This shaking wasn't triggered by intense sadness at being so blatantly rejected by her idol. No. This shaking was triggered by the intense rage she felt toward Naruto. In spurning Sakura Naruto had made a critical error. He had not taken into account how her emotions factored into her strength.

Naruto had almost reached the tree line when he was grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground. "Wha…" he said after having the wind knocked out of him. He saw Sakura's blurry outline standing above him. "Sakura what on earth?" "You have disrespected me for the last time Naruto." She said "I have been more than patient with you now it is time for you to just shut the fuck up!" Then she punched him and he blacked out.
