While Sakura was out fishing at the lake, Naruto proceeded with his earlier plan to draw on Sasuke's face with a black marker. Amazingly enough, the so-called genius Uchiha Sasuke didn't stir as mischievous Naruto drew all over his face.
When Naruto was done, he slapped Sasuke on the face hard and shouted, "Wake up, sleepy head!"
Sasuke was indeed, now awake. He glared angrily at Naruto and tried to throw a punch at him, but was still too groggy and sleepy to aim properly.
"Ha ha! You missed, loser!" Naruto taunted, sticking his tongue out.
Sasuke shouted angrily, scaring Naruto out of the tent. Sasuke emerged a few moments later and sat down at the wooden picnic table, eating one of Naruto's "secretly stashed" away chocolate bars for his breakfast.
"Hey! That's mine!" Naruto shouted angrily.
"Go away. I'm trying to eat." Sasuke mumbled, waving his hand at Naruto dismissively.
Naruto glared at Sasuke for a moment as the famished Uchiha finished eating the chocolate bar.
"This stuff tastes like crap." Sasuke growled.
"Then why are you eating it?" Naruto cried as he threw his arms in the air.
"Because it's the only real food around here, and I didn't have dinner last night."
Naruto sighed frustrated as he folded his arms across his chest. "So what are we going to do today?"
"You are going to leave me alone today. That's what." Sasuke growled as he glared at Naruto with his most serious glare that he could muster after waking up.
Seeing Sasuke try to look so serious when his face was covered with scribbles, swirls, flowers, smiley faces, and various other ridiculous doodles, Naruto couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What's so funny, you moron!" Sasuke angrily demanded as Naruto laughed at him.
"Oooh! Did Sasuke-chan wake up on the wrong side of the bed-I mean, sleeping bag today?" Naruto giggled as he taunted the grouchy Uchiha further.
"Sasuke-chan" angrily took out a fork from the camping supply box on the picnic table and threw it at Naruto. It missed him by a centimetre and flew into a tree trunk.
"Woah! No need to get worked up about it!" Naruto cried, shaking a bit, as the fork had just barely missed him.
"Just leave me alone..." Sasuke grumbled as he lay his head on the table, falling asleep again as mosquitoes began to swarm around him and Naruto.
"Not these damn bugs again! Go away!" Naruto growled, swinging his arms around in a crazy manner as Sasuke slumbered on, providing himself as a feast to the mosquitoes.
Sakura came back from the lake, holding a fish. "Hey guys! I brought lunch!"
Naruto had finally found the bug spray and sprayed some on himself.
"Alright, Sakura-chan! You're awesome! Believe it!"
"Stop saying that at the end of your sentences. It's annoying!" Sakura scolded.
"But it was a compliment." Naruto whined.
"Hey Sasuke-kun! I brought us lunch." Sakura said, gently shaking the slumbering Sasuke's shoulder. Sakura rolled his arm away so she could see him. She screamed as she looked at the disfigured face of Sasuke.
Sasuke leapt up to his feet as Sakura's piercing scream filled the air. "What? What is it? What's going on?" Sasuke cried.
Sakura pointed a quivering finger at Sasuke. "Y-you're face! It-it's-it's-"
"Absolutely covered in mosquito bites!" Naruto cut in laughing. "Ha ha! Your face is all puffy and funny looking!"
"Damn bugs..." Sasuke grumbled. "Whatever. The bites will go away eventually."
"But are you sure that you're okay? How did you get all of those weird black marks on your face? Should would try to find help?" Sakura asked in a very worried tone of voice.
"What black marks on my face?" Sasuke demanded.
Naruto shuffled back a few feet, whistling innocently.
"Sakura...get me mirror." Sasuke said in a calm but dangerously angry voice as he glanced at Naruto's suspicious behaviour.
Sakura quickly ran into the tent and fetched her hand mirror from her duffle bag. She handed it to Sasuke, who took it and looked at his malformed reflection. To his horror, there were indeed black markings. The markings were actually pictures, pictures of flowers, swirls, bunnies, and other happy precious things scribbled onto his face. As well as his face being swollen up and covered in bug bites, Sasuke did indeed look quite hideous.
It took everything Sasuke had to prevent himself from screaming in horror and rage and killing Naruto.
"Ok, first I'll take care of the bug bites." Sasuke mumbled to himself.
Sasuke tried to shoo the swarming bugs away from him with his arms as he rummaged through the equipment box for the bug spray. "Where's the goddamned bug spray?"
"I have it, Sasuke! Here, I'll put some on for you." Naruto offered as he took the bug spray and sprayed it right into Sasuke's eyes.
"Naruto, you idiot! What the hell were you thinking?" Sasuke shouted, covering his stinging eyes with his hands.
"I was just trying to help! At least the bugs aren't swarming around you anymore, right?"
Sasuke angrily grabbed Naruto by the collar of his jacket. "Maybe not, but stinging bug spray in the eyes is ten times worse, you stupid little bastard!" Sasuke snarled.
"Hey! Don't call me a bastard!" Naruto shouted.
"Guys, let's not fight! We still have to get ourselves food for tonight and possibly tomorrow." Sakura cut in.
Sasuke let go of Naruto's arm. "She's right. We should stop fooling around and get some food." He said as he took a wet towel to wipe the felt markings off of his face
Naruto just crossed his arms and scowled.
"We'll get some food now and have our lunch afterwards." Sasuke announced, taking charge of the situation.
"Yes, yes! You're our leader, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura beamed.
"Hey! How come Sasuke gets to be the leader, huh?" Naruto cut in.
"Because I'm smarter, stronger, and better than you are." Sasuke replied, smirking.
"No you're not! Don't flatter yourself!"
"Naruto, just shut up! You're staying here to guard the fish while Sasuke and I go get food." Sakura told Naruto.
"I don't want to stay here! It's boring!" Naruto whined.
"I have a better idea. Why not just let Naruto do the food gathering and hunting." Sasuke said.
"Good idea, Sasuke! You hear that, Naruto? You're doing the hunting!"
"What? But-" Naruto started.
"You were just saying how boring it would be to stay here, so occupy yourself by getting food! Now get your kunai and scram!" Sakura commanded.
Naruto sulkily took his weapons and headed off into the woods.
"Hold on, Naruto." Sasuke called out. "An idiot like you obviously can't handle this task by yourself, so Sakura will go with you."
"What? But-" Sakura started.
"Just go." Sasuke said firmly.
"Of course, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura nodded, taking her weapons and following after Naruto.
