Disclaimer:I hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this collection. Props to Masashi Kishimoto, indeed.
Just in Case You Missed It: To quote the brilliant forthright, "This is a story in snippets, so if you believe a proper tale cannot be told on a small scale... flee now, before you are taken in!" All of the chapters will be one hundred or two hundred words.
This is an exercise in experimenting with new writing challenges, especially with a format that I've grown very fond of due to a favorite author's work, and it will not change. :) I totally understand if the short chapters are not for you! Just please don't ask me to lengthen them.
The Beginning II: A Lie
"Oh," Naruto scowled. "You're tutoring me?"
"According to what they know, yes. The extended story is that I'm tutoring you in exchange for a little extra judo practice."
"Geez, why'd you even bring up my failing math grades if you were just going to give them the judo bit anyway?"
"Because they would have wondered why I didn't ask Sasuke-kun instead."
"Oh, come on—"
"Save it. And don't break anything while I go change."
"Give me some credit!"
And she paused, considering him and his words... it was easier said than done.
