Chapter 5: The Result of the Huddle

The bullies were all around Sakura. "Neah Neah! Billboard Brow! Stupid little Billboard Brow! Ha ha!" They kept on shouting, and other things like that, over and over. Sakura was crying. She wanted to get away from these Jerks.

"Yo! Bully's! Over here!" The Bully whirled around, trying to figure out who had shouted at them. "It's the brat with the dog! Get 'em!" The Leader bully shouted. The leader was the girl who had been Bullying Sakura one day. Ino had stopped her by throwing Stems of 'poisonous' plants onto her and her friend's tongues. The three bullies had run away screaming. They were Furious when they had found out that the plants had not been poisonous. They were not going to do that again. The bullies Ran after Kiba. When they were almost to him, it went dark for all the bullies. They could not see a thing.

"What the crap?!" The leader shouted. All the bullies were saying stuff along the same lines. They heard the cutting of rope.

"Thanks Ino..." Sakura Sniffled

The bullies couldn't see it, but Ino smiled "No Problemo."

"GET THE LIGHTS BACK ON!" A bully screamed. They heard some of the academy students, the ones who knew about the plan, bust out laughing.

"If you say so!" They heard Kome's voice

Suddenly the Bully's world went bright. However, they were not at the edge of the forest by a clearing where they had been playing capture the flag. They Were In the Hokage's Office. There was no on in the room besides all the bully's and the third Hogake.

"So you decided to bully those younger than you yet again?" The Hogake sighed. "Don't you know when to stop?"

"Wait a minute! How'd we get here?" Said a bully

"What do you mean? You have been here for five minutes waiting for me to get here."

"No we ha-"

"Silence!" The Hogake ordered. "You have bullied the academy students for the last time."

"How so?" asked the leader, very rudely

The Hokage sighed again. "You are to be punished very severely. We will not tolerate any more of this! You are being kicked out of the academy, and you will be under house arrest until you are old enough to leave the village."

"W-what?! N-no way!" the bully's shouted. The Hogake glared at them.

Suddenly the bully's world went dark again just as some of them were about to break down into tears. Then they were back in the clearing. They saw Kome standing in front of the leader. Kome took her hand down from a hand sign.

"You did that you little bitch! You and your Damn Genjistu!" The leader's best friend screamed

Kome smirked. "You all are about to get much worse than that little illusion!" she chuckled

"You and all your little friends are going to p-" the leader was interrupted in mid-sentence.

"ATTACK!" Tenten shouted.

At that order, all of the academy students attacked. Kiba and his puppy bit them, Shino stood by a tree while he was trying to make his insects attack. Hinata kept of tackling them and making them fall down, letting Ino sit on them and punch them in the face after she downed them. Shikamaru was cutting them with a dull kunai. Chōji was hitting them. Rock Lee was kicking their rears, quite literately, with his Tijistu. Neji was just up in a tree watching. Tenten had a mace and was hitting them with it. Sasuke kept on throwing Shuriken at them. Naruto was punching and kicking them, and getting it back three times as hard. Every academy student was doing something, besides Neji and Kome. When the fighting had died down, most of the bully's had been eventually taken out and were sitting or lying on the ground injured, and almost all of the academy students as well. The Leader was one of the bullies left standing. She had been hardly hurt because all the students had been sure to attack her. She limped over to Kome, Fuming.

"You little twerp! Boy are you dead now!" She screamed. "You. Me. RIGHT NOW!"

Kome smiled "You sure you wanna end up in the hospital today? Anger does not help you to think in battle. If you are angered, and your opponent is calm, you will most likely lose."

The leader laughed hysterically. "Anger powers you up in a fight! And what could you possibly do to me?!"

Kome thought for a moment "Lots of things." She smiled again.

The leader frowned. She was getting tired of this. She charged recklessly at Kome. Kome easily dodged by jumping, and the leader crashed into a tree. "See what I mean? If you were not angry and had actually tried, you most likely would of gotten me."

"What the..." The leader muttered.

Kome, being shorter than the leader, jumped up and kicked her in the chest as she turned around. She slammed against the tree again. Everyone heard a crack.

"Kyaaa!" She leader shouted, clutching her rib cage. "How the hell did you break my rib!?" she demanded. "I'm a new genin! You are just an academy student! I should be able to beat you easily! With practically no effort at all!" Tears came to her eyes from the pain of the broken rib.

Kome frowned "Who ever said you and your friends are the only Genin here? Also, it's really, really stupid just to charge at your opponent." she chuckled

"You need to shut up, and what the hell are you talking about? Of course were the only genin here!"

"Im a Genin." Kome stated, shrugging.

"No you're not!" said the leader

Ino and Hinata nodded calmly. "Actually, she is." Ino chuckled

All the rest of Komes friends had "What the Crap?" looks on their faces, Sasuke especially.

Kome reached into her pocket and pulled out a ninja headband. And bhowed it to the bully. It looked almost exactly like the leaf villages headband. However, There was a swirl, not the leaf's symbol.

"That's not a leaf headband! Your bluffing!" the leader accused

"The Uchi's have their own Village, you know. This is my village's Headband. I am in the academy only because I want to be with kids my age. Also I know practically all my clans secret's, since, at the moment at least, I'm going to be the leader of my clan when I'm older."

"The day we met, that's the thing she did not want you to know, the thing she stopped her-self from saying, and stopped me from saying." Ino whispered to Sasuke

"One reason I will be the leader is because of the natural knack I have for being a ninja." Kome finished and shrugged. "Now, are you going to leave me friends alone, or do I need to send you to the hospital?" she asked.

The leader clicked her tongue in annoyance. "We'll back down, but when my rib gets better, you're going down!"

Kome laughed "You wish!"

Half an hour and a hospital visit later, for those wounded academy students, they were all bugging Kome with questions while they walked home. Questions like how she would of beaten up the bully leader, and how long she had been a Genin for. Ino and Hinata were just listening, while Sasuke was just staring at her in disbelief. Naruto was the one asking the most questions

"Are you really a genin?"

"I have a headband, don't I?"

"How long have you been a genin?"

Kome shrugged "About a year I guess."

"How wold you of defeated the bully leader? You made it sound like you are so strong!"

"I was bluffing. I have no clue how powerful she is or how I would have been able to beat her. I do not know how strong I am compared to her, but I would of tried my hardest. And you are really annoying, you know that, right Naruto-Kun?" Kome laughed and then ran away. With Ino, Hinata and Sasuke following her.

A few minutes later, Hinata and Ino had decided to go home, and Sasuke and Kome had decided to go swimming. As they were swimming, Sasuke asked Kome a question.

"Why didn't you want me to know that you might be the leader of you clan when you are older?" he asked, frowning.

Kome did not answer for a moment. "Becuase people treat me differently... I don't want to be treated differently… But I just want to be treated like... Well... Me."

"I don't get it... Just because you will be the leader of your clan one day, and I know that your clan is a pretty big one, why would people treat you differently? And you're a Princess, right?" Sasuke asked.

Kome nodded, dunked herself under the water and came back up. "Grown-ups want to protect me, make sure I have every little thing my way, and all that junk...But I just want to be treated normally!" She sighed "I don't mind being the leader one day, but I despise being fussed over."

Sasuke nodded. "Guess that's understandable... "

"Sasuke-Kun?"

"Yeah?"

"Promise you you'll always treat me like you do now. Just like your best friend?"

"I Promise."

"Thank you, Sasuke-Kun"
