I made my way to the academy at about five thirty in the morning, I could see Sasuke walking to the academy with, whom I'm sure is his mother. I was hoping to get here before the boys to meditate a bit but it doesn't seem like that was going to happen. I was just glad that Konoha was warm in the mornings.
"Hey, Sakura!" Sasuke yelled at me while waving his hand high in the air. He was waving me over. I smiled at the sight. Never in my previous life would I think that Sasuke was able to be this happy. I was glad that I talked to the boys way before I should have. I jogged over to them. She smiled at me but I ignored her for now. I didn't want Sasuke to think that I was actually talking to him for status. I didn't want to be the one to cause him any pain. Him nor Naruto.
"Sasuke-kun, good morning," I greeted with a smile. His smile widen a bit at the greeting. Actually, I'm sure that he always smiles when I call him Sasuke-kun. Hmmm… He pointed up to his mother.
"This is my mother." He turned to his mother. "Mom, this is Sakura." I finally looked up at her. She smiled down at me. I tilted my head at her.
"You could pull off as his sister." I stated. She busted out laughing. I looked at Sasuke. "She does realize I'm not joking, right?" Sasuke chuckled as well. Well, I don't know if I should pout or not. I watched Sasuke's mother eventually calm down. What was so funny anyways? I just told the truth.
"Thanks for the compliment, Sakura-chan." She thanked. She knelt down to my height. "My name is Uchiha Mikoto. You may call me Mikoto-chan." She greeted.
"Okay, Mikoto-chan." Mikoto-chan seemed to beam. Sasuke looks like his mother. I don't think it would be a good idea to tell him that though.
"Sasuke-chan told me so much about you." She told. I glanced at Sasuke-kun real quick. He seemed embarrassed. I looked back at Mikoto-chan.
"All good things, I hope." She giggled at that.
"You sound so mature." I faked a heart broken look. I was determined to act as much as a child as I could. I know I won't be able to get much chances when I get older.
"You shouldn't have said that, mom." Sasuke-kun commented.
"I gotta fix this." I gasped. Sasuke-kun rolled his eyes at me.
"Don't start acting like Naruto on me." He grumbled. I stuck my tongue out at him before pouting. I could hear Mikoto-chan giggling but I wasn't going to look to close into it. I couldn't help but to grin though. Sasuke just rolled his eyes at me like he usually does with Naruto but with a smirk. I looked back at Mikoto-chan.
"You don't usually bring Sasuke-kun, do you?" I asked. She looked at me with a raised brow.
"Why do you say that?" She asked.
"Because I haven't heard any weird rumors like 'Oh. My. God. Sasuke-kun's sister is like sooo cute~!' 'Did you see how shinny her hair is~?!'" I could see Sasuke trying to hold back a laugh. Wait a minute… "I did that too well…" I think I'm going to puke. I turned towards the academy. "Excuse me while I go wash my mouth out with soap." I pardoned. I could now hear snickering from Sasuke.
"I don't see what's so funny here Sasuke." Mikoto-chan scolded. I felt something grab the back of my shirt. "And you, Sakura-chan, what exactly did you mean by all that?" I could already hear the scolding. I bet she went to the academy with my mother.
"That's how the girls here talk. They may as well be whores. They're fake and they'll do anything to get what they want." I told. Mikoto-chan turned towards Sasuke.
"Are they the girls you told me about before Sakura-chan came?" She asked. Sasuke nodded his head, never moving his eyes from his moms. "Let me guess, Sakura-chan does a good job keeping them away.?" She asked. Sasuke just smirked at that.
"She also does a good job of keeping bullies away from Naruto too. Sakura is very scary when she wants to be." He told. I couldn't help but to smile. I swear my ego just grew. Mikoto-chan raised a brow at her son.
"You two better be protecting her like gentlemen." I could hear the warning in her voice. Oh great… Here comes Protective Sasuke. At least Naruto ain't here. That's when things would get bad.
"Do. Not. Insult me mother. The three of us stick together. That means we protect each other no matter what, even if it goes against the rules." Sasuke was scolding now. Mikoto-chan's eyes widen. Not far from us, I could see Kakashi-sensi staring at us in intrigue.
"That's right. We'll fight an entire war if it means we can protect each other!" I agreed.
"No! We'll fight against the entire world if we have too!" Naruto? We all turned towards the sound of the voice. Naruto was storming up against us. "Sakura-chan! Sasuke! You two better not be starting another fight!" Naruto was storming up to us with an irritated look on his face. Oh great. I just had to jeiks it, didn't I?
"We started another fight? You always start most of them!" Sasuke retaliated. I rolled my eyes at the scene.
"Sasuke-kun! Naruto-nii! Stop fighting! Save your energy for training!" I was the one scolding them now. They both turned away from each other, pouting. I could still see Kakashi-sensei watching us. I turned back to Mikoto-chan. "Sorry you have to witness that. They do it all the time. Hopefully everyone in the village gets used to it soon. It's all those two know how to do." I glared at them as if to prove a point. "It's going to get them killed on a mission." I growled. They were still pouting but I knew they heard me. Mikoto-chan started laughing as I noticed Kakashi-sensei pulling out a familiar orange book but didn't leave.
"You three already at like a genin team!" She laughed. I raised a brow at her. Was it that obvious?
"Sasuke… Is that your sister?" Naruto asked.
"No you idiot! That's my mom." Sasuke replied in his usual Sasuke manor.
"If you don't mind me interrupting." Kakashi said as he walked to us in his laid back behavior. "But these three act nothing like a genin team." He insulted. I rolled my eyes as I noticed Sasuke and Naruto getting riled up. "A genin team has more grace than all these three put together. A genin team has the ability to at least have a simple conversation with out starting an argument, but most of all; A genin team is able to use teamwork. These three don't seem like they're even capable of doing that." He lectured.
"Maybe that's because your eyes can only see so much, old man! Do not under estimate us!" Naruto warned. Thanks to my advice, Sasuke's strategic planning, and Naruto's unpredictable-ness, we are just as strong as when were genin. Only this time, we know how to use team work. Kakashi-sensei looked up from his book and to Naruto.
"I highly doubt that." He commented like it was nothing.
"What do we have to do to prove you otherwise?" Sasuke challenged. They surely did have the stubbornness of when they were genins. I walked over to stand next to them. Kakashi looked as us with intrigue now.
"Meet me at training ground seven once the academy ends. You'll find out then. Oh and, don't eat. Unless you want to end up puking." Kakashi challenged before disappearing into a pile of leafs.
"He's an anbu." Naruto stated. "The uniform diffidently screams it."
"You sound like a girl." Sasuke stated. "And I ain't afraid of puking. I'm not going to fall for that trick." Sasuke crossed his arms.
"I don't sound like a girl and I won't either. Does he think we're stupid or something?" Naruto crossed his arms behind his head in a casual manor.
"Probably, considering our age. Since he's under estimating us, we could us that to our advantage." I stated.
"That's a good idea but we shouldn't talk out here. He'll probably be watching us." Sasuke informed. Naruto quickly agreed.
"There's no way we're going to lose to him." Naruto stated confidently. He then looked to me. "Oh and you're parents said that the Hokage is sending them on a mission. They won't be back in a few days." He told me. I nodded my head.
"You mean our parents. They're trying to adopt you, remember?" I lightly scolded.
"We aren't suppose to know that though." Sasuke commented. He had a point.
"I was wrong. You all at more like chunin." Mikoto-chan voiced. "Though I have to say, you won't be winning against Kakashi. Do you all always act like this?" I shrugged. This was just normal for me.
"Only when we're about to fight; Otherwise, we're usually fighting each other." Sasuke informed.
"It keeps us on our toes, ya know?" Naruto was grinning, back to his old casual self. Mikoto-chan stood there, studying us.
"Why do you say we won't win against Kakashi?" I asked. She looked at me in shock but quickly covered it up.
"Because Kakashi is teaching Itachi." She stated. Naruto and I quickly looked over to Sasuke. Sasuke's confidence wavered a bit. Naruto and I looked at each other. Naruto was worried about Sasuke but smirked anyways to cover it up, and to gain back Sasuke's confidence. I smirked back at Naruto.
"But we're not Itachi." Naruto stated. I quickly caught on to the plan.
"Itachi is just one person." I stated. Light started to shine back on Sasuke's face.
"We're a team of three." Sasuke stated as if he was reminding himself.
"And a team gets more accomplished than a single person." We all stated together. Sasuke slightly smiled towards us. I could still feel people watching us but all I could do was smile.
"How about after your challenge with Kakashi, you two can join Sasuke-chan and me for supper?" Mikoto-chan offered. I looked over to Naruto who looked to me. He shrugged as if he didn't know. I knew he just meant that he didn't care. We both knew though that most of the clan, if not all, will treat him like most of the village does. Mom and Dad was out of the village and cooking for Naruto can be a hassle. That and if the clan does do anything, Sasuke won't put up with it. Sasuke was looking at us with hope in his eyes. Now I couldn't say no to that. I looked over to Mikoto-chan with a smile.
"Sure! Remember, Naruto eats a lot though." I agreed. Mikoto-chan just beamed.
"Great! That means the rest of the family can meet you two!" She said with one of the biggest smiles on her face that I've ever seen. Is she really related to Sasuke? I could hear the stumbling of footsteps around us. The academy is probably going to start soon. "I better get going so I can tell Sasuke's father and brother about the arrangements. You all have fun~!" She said before she turned to leave.
"You too!" Naruto shouted for us.
"Stay safe Mom!" Sasuke shouted.
"See you later!" I finally shouted. She waved one hand over her shoulder to let us know that she heard us. I turned to the boys. "How much do you think that she's going to tell them?" I asked. Sasuke looked extremely un-eased about this. I knew that Naruto noticed this too.
"Probably all of it…" Sasuke mumbled.
"That's alright! That way we can show them how strong we really are!" Naruto said.
"But we agreed that we'd graduate the academy together, that we can make our own path.?" Sasuke asked.
"We don't entirely have to beat Kakashi. Remember, the goal is to prove that we have team work." I stated. Sasuke lightened up by that. "Kakashi is also deciding the challenge, so we really can't come up with a plan either."
"That's fine! We work better without a plan anyways!" Naruto commented.
"Yeah. We can do this with out messing up our plans." Sasuke whispered under his breath. He looked over to me in the corner of his eyes. I smiled at him because I was still undeniably in love with him. Sasuke seemed to relax a bit. He looked over to Naruto really quick who had the same goofy grin on his face.
"Let's go before someone tries to get our seats again!" Naruto ordered. He was still our unofficial leader. If anybody asked, we would've said Sasuke. It really helps people leave us alone. To them, to was very predictable. That and we don't want Naruto's ego to rise. That would be a disaster in itself. I grabbed Sasuke with my left hand and Naruto with my right before dragging them off to the academy.
The academy had ended for the day, thankfully. It was more boring than normal, probably because of the events that I knew was going to happen afterwards. Well, here in a few minutes anyways.
"Believe it!" Naruto shouted as he kicked the doors open and ran out. I rolled my eyes and followed behind him. Kids were rushing out from the academy as if they had something better to do. I found it quite rude but I ignored it, just like any other day. "Dude! Sasuke! Get your butt out here!" Naruto was shouting. I looked back towards the door.
"Don't tell me what to do, you idiot." Sasuke grumbled as he glared at Naruto.
"But look!" Naruto shouted as he pointed away from the academy. I followed Naruto's finger and saw Sasuke's family standing there. Mikoto-chan and Itachi was the only ones with smiles on their faces. I looked back over to Sasuke. There was too many emotions swirling through his eyes. Knowing his situation, he probably didn't know what to feel about this. I don't blame him either. Sasuke started jogging to his family but I knew he wasn't completely happy about it. He must be very nervous about it. Naruto started walking over to them and I followed suit.
"That's Naruto-chan and Sakura-chan. They're Sasuke-chan's new friends." I heard Mikoto-chan introduce us. Sasuke looked even more nervous than usual. I looked up to the rest of his family. Both of the older males seemed to be judging us. I wonder, if they didn't try to make a coup de ta, if I'd ever get along with them..? I looked back to Sasuke. His gaze was focused on the ground. He really did want to be accepted by them. Or did he not want his family to try to push us away from him? I noticed Naruto looking at me. I looked at him with a raised brow. He did the same thing to me. I rolled my eyes at him before facing the Uchiha family again.
"What are your names?" I asked. They both focused on me now. They stared at me in the eyes and I just stared right back. They both seemed to be in slight shock. Are they shocked that I didn't treat them like gods? I raised a brow at them.
"It's rude to stare you know." Naruto commented. That seemed to pull them out of whatever shock they were in, they glanced at Naruto now too.
"My name is Uchiha Fugaku. This is my eldest son, Uchiha Itachi." Sasuke's dad introduced them. Itachi seemed to be twelve or so years old. "It's a pleasure to meet you two. We've heard so much about you." Naruto and I glanced at Sasuke. Sasuke couldn't even make eye contact with us. We glanced at each other and smirked before facing Sasuke's family again. We knew that Sasuke caught that. We mainly did it to mess with Sasuke.
"Knowing how Naruto and Sasuke get along, I doubt it's anything good." I stated.
"Hey!" They both yelled in defiance. They faced each other. "Are you copying me?! No! You're copying me!" I couldn't help but to giggle. I knew that would help Sasuke calm down a bit.
"It's nice to finally meet you all as well!" I bow respectfully. "What brings you all here anyways?" I asked
"Mom told us what happened between you three and Kakashi. We just want to see this challenge of your alls." Itachi said sweetly. I raised a brow at him.
"Why would a weasel be interested in this?" I asked. I could heard Naruto snickering and someone laughing from behind them. I looked passed them to see another Uchiha laughing. "You all have a stalker." I stated as I point behind them. Itachi sighed as if he was getting frustrated.
"That's our cousin, Uchiha Shisui." Itachi grumbled.
"I like pinky! Can we keep her?" Shisui asked. I felt two pairs of arms around me within a second.
"We aren't sharing." They both grumbled.
"Guys. Challenge. Remember?" I asked as bluntly as possible.
"Weapons ready?" Naruto asked. I nodded my head.
"Naruto, is your part set up?" Sasuke asked sternly. I heard a small growl from Naruto.
"Of course they are! Did you not see me skip class?" Naruto sassed. I rolled my eyes at their bickering.
"We are not going to be able to get the weapons out of my room if you two keep arguing. Scratch that. We won't be able to go anywhere until you two decide to let go." I stated emotionlessly.
"Admit it. You're enjoying this." Naruto teased. I looked over to him with a raised brow. I leaned my head back to where I could whisper in his ear.
"You know Hinata is watching us, right?" I whispered. Naruto immediately let go of me but Sasuke just pulled me closer to him. Naruto started searching the yard for her. I looked over to Sasuke with a smirk. "I told you so~!" Sasuke started snickering.
"Lairs!" Naruto shouted. I made a dramatic gasp.
"What?! Us? Lairs? No way!" I said in a dramatic tone. Naruto started laughing now.
"Since you're my sister, I'll let you by with this one." He joked. I rolled my eyes at his antics.
"Can we just go now?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah! Let's go show this Kakashi that he was wrong about us! Believe it!" Naruto started cheering. I shook my head at his enthusiasm. Sasuke let go of me but grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards my house. I looked back to his family to see if they were even following us. Not only were they but they looked also intrigued. How… Odd. Oh well. I looked back at Sasuke. I could tell that he was still tense. I hope that he isn't distracted like this during the challenge.
We made it to the training grounds, right after an awkward moment of letting the Uchihas see my house without my parents here. Good thing that it didn't take long for me to gather all of our stuff out of my room, some how in that little time though, Naruto seemed to have grown onto the older Uchihas hearts. They were treating him more like a kid now instead of like the rest of the villagers. Hopefully he didn't say anything too weird to them. We walking to the center of the training grounds, next to the memorial stone and the three logs. Kakashi was no where to be seen. Typical.
"He's not here." Naruto stated. Sasuke and I looked over to him. Naruto stared at the empty training grounds with a blank expression. And here it comes… "Where is that old man at?! He was the one who had this bright idea and then he just ditches us?! What the heck?!" Naruto started rampaging.
"You do realize he's probably doing this to study our reactions, right?" Sasuke stated. I could already feel a headache coming. Kakashi-sensei hasn't changed a bit. I wonder if Obito would've done this if he had returned to the village.
"I don't care! He should've—Ooow!" I punched Naruto on top of the head.
"Yelling isn't going to help anything!" I scolded.
"That doesn't mean I deserved to get hit." He grumbled.
"No. but you yelling in my ear does." I sassed. Naruto glared at me and I gladly glared right back.
"Stop glaring at each other. We aren't going to get anything done this way."
Sasuke told. We both looked over to him. Sasuke had a proud smirk on his face. He looked over to Naruto. "Where are they?" Naruto looked at him with a raised brow.
"Snake, Rabbit, Dog and Sheep" Naruto told. I noticed that the others that arrived raised their brows at this. Instead of the normal time reference, we went back the Zodiac calendar… Backwards. It messes with everyone, even the people that got our references. Sasuke nodded his head before looking at me.
"You know where?" He asked. That's when Naruto started grinning. I nodded my head, I knew where Kakashi-sensei was right now. He was sitting over in one of the trees near by, watching us. I wonder what Naruto thought of now..?
"I have an idea." Naruto commented. Sasuke's smirk widened a bit as if this was his plan from the beginning.
"Remember the original plan though, Dobe." Sasuke warned. Ever since he met us, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Itachi. We always had to reassure him that he was on his own path.
"Don't worry about that Teme. This is so childish that he would never catch it and they won't really think of it as… Ninja level." Naruto reassured. I need to teach him his vocabulary terms of ninjas. Sasuke relaxed a bit. I couldn't help but to smile. Wait a second…
"We don't even know what the challenge is." I stated with a frown. Naruto shrugged it away.
"So what? This is pay back for not showing up on time." He commented, as if it was nothing. This brought the smile back on my face. Now this was the team seven, that I remembered. I felt someone entering the training grounds. I turned and saw the Hokage walking over towards the Uchihas. I ran over towards him.
"Skipping another meeting I see." I teased. He chuckled a bit.
"That obvious, huh?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.
"We play shoji every week. Anything you do is starting to be obvious." I stated. He stared at me a bit. He chuckled a bit more.
"I need to introduce you to the Naras. They would love you." He commented.
"There is a Nara in the class but he either skips or he's sleeping. I don't see how he's passing the class." I said like a kid. The Hokage smiled at me.
"Naras are very intelligent but they are also very lazy." He explained. I couldn't help but to snicker. "Shouldn't you be paying attention to the challenge?" He asked.
"The pervert hasn't showed up yet." I pouted.
"Pervert?" Itachi asked this time. I looked over to the Uchihas. They were all watching me with intrigue. I nodded my head.
"The orange book he always read is porn." I told. Fugaku raised a brow at me.
"How would you know that?" Fugaku asked.
"Because I saw him walk out of the store with that book and some other stuff: near the orphanage that's for people eighteen years or older. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what that means." I explained. He nodded his head and looked towards the field again.
"Sakura-chan! Are you ready?!" Naruto shouted. I looked over my shoulder and nodded. I looked back to the Hokage.
"Good luck with the old hag and the old bat." I said as I turned and ran to the boys. I could hear the Hokage laughing as I skidded to a stop by my team.
"What was all that about?" Sasuke asked.
"I'll explain later. Right now, we have a pervert to catch." I smiled at him. Sasuke didn't really like it but he pushed it aside for now. He nodded his head at me. "Seventy five, dragon." I told. Naruto reached for his Shuriken pouch.
"There's no need for you three to do anything." We all turned as Kakashi-sensei managed to be early… Well, for him this is early. We all turned and gave him our undivided attention. Kakashi-sensei just stared at us with a lazy eye. This was a bit impressive in my previous life but now since I know his tricks, it's a bit annoying. "Now, your challenge shall be…" He reaches behind him and pulls out a ball. "Is to get this away from me while using teamwork." I think I like the bell exercise better.
"Really?" Naruto asked. "That's… pretty predictable." I could practically hear Sasuke roll his eyes.
"That's because he doesn't want to do this like we do." Sasuke argued.
"I'm not done." Kakashi stated. The boys stopped arguing and looked back to him. "Who ever is able to get it out of my hands, gets a passage way out of the academy and straight into ninja hood." Wow. Kakashi just made that sound lame.
"No Thanks." We all said in sync. Kakashi stared at us in shock, as did everyone else.
"I may not be good at the stuff the academy gives us, but there is still stuff we can still learn there." Naruto stated as he folded his arms behind his head again.
"We will make our own paths. Not walk on the one someone else forged for us." Sasuke stated. Kakashi looked to me as if he was expecting an answer. I just looked at him with a lazy eye.
"You didn't say all of us got a free passage. We are not going to leave the others behind." I stated as if it was obvious.
"We will get that ball away from you though. We always enjoy a good challenge." Naruto stated.
"Are there any rules?" Sasuke asked. Kakashi didn't remove his eye from me though. I raised a brow at him. He stared at me for a few more seconds before looking over to the boys.
"You can use any means necessary. I won't find you back." Kakashi-sensei said. I rolled my eyes then.
"How boring." We stated in sync again before we all charged. I got in the lead and aimed a hit straight to his face. Sasuke was right behind me, aiming for the way that Kakashi-sensei decided to dodge while Naruto went for the ball. Kakashi-sensei jumped back at the last second, dodging Naruto in the process. We all glared at him as we pulled out a weapon. This time Naruto rushed in first, making Kakashi-sensei start in hand to hand combat. Sasuke soon came to assist. I waited for an opening. Naruto aimed his weapon to his face as Sasuke aimed for his stomach. I threw my weapon to his back, nicking his hip, making a scratch, as Kakashi-sensei jumped back.
"Nicely done." Kakashi-sensei stated as he reappeared behind us. "You managed to scratch me. But I still have the ball." He boasted. I couldn't help but to smirk at him. The boys came to stand next to me also with smirks on their faces. "What's with those looks?" Kakashi-sensei asked.
"He hasn't noticed it yet." Naruto snickered. I couldn't help but to giggle. Sasuke walked straight up to Kakashi. "Let us tell you something, Scarecrow." Naruto said. Kakashi stared at him with wide eyes.
"I can't move." Kakashi stated. Everyone else but the three of us looked shocked.
"Right? Sakura gets us with that all the time! She's the sneakiest one out of all of us!" Naruto boasted. Everyone was staring at me now. I couldn't help but to smirk evilly.
"She's also quiet diabolical. Wait till you figure out how to get rid of the paralyze." Sasuke proudly stated. The others had walked over to us, still with shock on their faces.
"How do you get rid of the paralyze?" The Hokage asked. My evil smirk widen.
"You have to eat a strong Laxative~." I said. The Hokage busted out laughing. Mikoto-chan and Itachi looked like they've finally understood something. Fugaku seemed even more distrusted.
"I should've guessed it was something like that. Even when you play shoji, you're a bit evil." The Hokage stated.
"Why did you chose this as your fighting style?" Fugaku asked. Everyone else seemed shocked that he even talked. I smiled at him.
"Because no one expects it." I replied. He was intrigued again. "I have very light colored skin with pink hair and bright eyes. Everyone automatically assumes that I'd be shy and gentle. So I try to fight like that to actually hide my destructive, or as Sasuke says, Diabolical, fighting style. That and their expressions when they find out is pretty funny too~!" I told. I turned back to Kakashi-sensei while I grabbed the laxatives out of my weapon pouch. I inwardly smirked. The only way for him to take the laxative is to eat it and to eat it, he has to take off his mask. That was the real reason I chose to paralyze him when I could've just knocked him out. Way to go Outter! We finally get to see what his face looks like! Cha! Kakashi was glaring at me now, as if he knew what I was thinking.
"Out of the three of you, I hate you the most." He stated. I just shrugged about it.
"I'll give that to him." Itachi stated. I inwardly frowned. If I didn't give it to him, he would be suspious but I'd be able to see Kakashi's face. Damn that weasel! I handed the laxative to Itachi. Sasuke better be happy about this. I couldn't help but to inwardly grumble as I went back to the boys. Sasuke was smirking at me as Naruto was grinning like always.
"Sakura-chan?" Mikoto-chan called. I looked over to her. "how did you come upon this paralysis?" She asked. I blinked a couple of times.
"It was very popular back at home." I stated. I could see Sasuke and Naruto flinch. "I stole it from them." That's when the boys relaxed a bit. Mikoto-chan raised a brow.
"Why did Sasuke and Naruto act like that?" Fugaku asked. I looked over to him.
"Now, now. Let Sakura enjoy their victory. There's no need to interrogate her Fugaku." The Hokage defended me. Fugaku glanced at the Hokage then stared at me.
"She's hiding something." He stated. I tilted my head at him.
"Isn't everyone?" I asked. I could see shock in his eyes but his face expression was still blank. He just continued to stare at me and I just stared right back. I wasn't going to break away first.
"Well, I better get back." The Hokage stated. Fugaku looked over to the Hokage a nodded in respect. I snorted at that. Fugaku looked at me again.
"Don't let him lie to you. He's heading over to the academy since the fight didn't last as long as he'd expect." I told. The Hokage started laughing again.
"How did you know he was lying?" He asked. I smirked at him.
"The vein in his left leg jumps a bit when he lies." I told. Everyone stared at me in shock.
"Now Sakura, you shouldn't be telling people these things." Sasuke stated. I looked to him and tilted my head.
"why not?" I asked.
"What if the enemy was near by?" Sasuke scolded. I raised my brow at him.
"Their body languages would've told me so if I hadn't already sensed them." I said while pointing to the adults. "Besides, they would've fallen for Naruto's traps then we would've heard something." I reasoned.
"But what if they snuck past my traps and gotten past your senses and theirs?" Naruto asked this time. I tilted my head to the other side now. I could feel the Hokage leaving. "Go Left!" I shouted over my shoulder.
"Thank you Sakura-chan." I heard him say as he left.
"Now, are we all ready to go?" Mikoto-chan asked. Everyone said yeah as we all started out of the training grounds. "Sakura-chan, do you mind if I walk with you?" I looked at Sasuke to see if it was alright. Sasuke nodded his head. I looked back to Mikoto-chan with a smile.
"Sure~!" I replied. Mikoto-chan smiled. We pulled back a few steps as the men lead the way. I recognized this signal from Ino-pig. She always said that this was a normal girl code. Too bad, I was never normal. When we pulled back about five meters away from the men, Mikoto-chan start to walk normally again.
"Can I ask you some questions?" She asked.
"Don't be polite with me, please. It brings back too many bad memories." I suggested. I held my gaze down on the ground though I could feel her gaze piercing holes through my back. "Besides, you're no longer a stranger." I said louder than the suggestion.
"Alright… First… Can we have a girls night out?" She asked. I looked up to her. "I've always wanted a daughter. And seeing how you and Sasuke act around each other, it's just a matter of time." She stated as if it was nothing. I could feel my face flare up.
"We're too young for you to be thinking weird stuff like that!" I slightly shouted. I could see Shisui looking back at us with a grin. I stopped walking. I've never had anyone besides Tsunade and Shizune tease me. Then again, this time around, mom has been teasing me too, ever since I introduced you to Naruto. This was really weird…
"Time is a lot faster than what you know, Sa-Ku-Ra-Chan~!" She stated. I wanted the earth to open up and eat me. I heard Naruto laughing from up ahead. I glared at him with every fiber of my being.
"HAHAHAHA~! You should look at your face~! Hahahahahahahahaha~!" Naruto laughed as he point a finger at me. "I told you so, Mikoto-chan~!" Wait a second… This was pay back for what happened in the academy yard.
"Maybe I should go get a certain shy black headed girl from class." I teased. Naruto shutted up immediately. Sasuke-kun started smirking.
"Looks like, we know how to finally get you to be quiet." Sasuke stated. Naruto glared at him.
"Oh yeah! How about you and a certain pi—." Sasuke-kun punched Naruto-nii in the face which made Naruto-nii hit him back before they both started full on fighting. I rolled my eyes and look back at Mikoto-chan. I need to make sure that she doesn't meet my mother.
"I'll agree to a girl's night out but it can't be on Tuesdays. I play shoji with the Hokage then." Now that I think about it, a certain politician didn't try to get pay back. Hmmm… Mikoto-chan nodded her head. I faintly noticed Itachi and Shisui started fighting as well. Poor, Fugaku…
"Okay. Will you tell me why you always look to Sasu-chan before making a decision when it comes to us?" She asked. I tilted my head at her. Has she not realized it at all?
"Because I don't want Sasuke to feel like I'm using him to gain status: when I'm not." I stated. Her eyes widen in shock.
"Then why did you start hanging out with Sasuke?" She asked.
"Because I thought he'd be fun to hang around, and he is." I said simply. Mikoto-chan started grinning like my mother does when she's proud of something. She turned to the boys.
"I approve of her~!" She told everyone. The boys stopped fighting and look to me. I just shrugged at them. They looked over to Mikoto-chan before continuing to fight. Fugaku sighed in irritation. This was going to be an extremely long night…
