Homework, homework, homework...need I say more?


Nobuko hopped from branch to branch. She had always had to concentrate hard on where she was going. How did everyone do it so easily?! It was so easy to fall off branches...She shook her head. No time to think about that now. She had to get home. Back to the Rain Village. Suddenly she was at the gates to a large city. It was to large to be just any normal city either. This was a 'Hidden' Village. Oh Damn! I'll be mistaken for a enemy attacker! She suddenly turned and ran back into the woods.

She turned. No one had followed her, but ninjas could always hide themselves. But the problem was, she couldn't figure out where she was! She needed to get home but she was lost. Heading a direction she hoped was toward home she jumped off again. A flash of orange appeared out of the corner of her eye. Damn. I was being followed...

Whipping around, Nobuko threw a shuriken. She purposfully missed, but a boy around her age lost his balance. Catching himself on the undeside of the tree, he stood upside down by holding his chakra in his feet. Grinning he said, "Not a great ninja are you? I've been following you for a while."

Nobuko pouted and said "Tough words for somone who just fell out of a tree!" But Naruto wasn't listening, he had forgot to concentrate on his chakra and was falling... Nobuko took this as her time to leave. Jumping ahead another boy dropped down in front of her. Doing some hand signs vines wrapped around her entire body. "Oh damn" she muttered.

He looked at her. She looks a hell lot like Naruto... "Perfect" She muttered. "Another damn ninja here to stop me from whatever the hell I was doing..." Sasuke looked at her as if she were crazy. "But before you finish me off or whatever can you PLEASE tell me where I am?" Sasuke stood still.

He didn't have time to answer as Naruto, not noticing Sasuke, flew down and punched her, yelling somthing a bout a scroll. "And why the hell do ya want it anyway?" he was screaming. He suddenly stopped short as he saw Sasuke. "Sas..Sasuke? Sasuke is that..that you?" Nobuko looked back and forth, confused. Suddenly the vines slacked and she pushed them away, dodging into the trees.

--------------------------------Sasuke and Naruto...----------------------------------

"Sasuke, Sasuke you...you're b-back." Naruto whispered.

Sasuke grimaced and replied "I didn't come back, idiot. I'm here on a mission for Orochimaru." Naruto froze.

"Orochimaru?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, dumbass" Naruto shuddered and without warning launched into attack. His Rasengan hit an unsuspecting Sasuke in the stomach. Coughing up blood and shuddering, Sasuke stood up and smiled an evil, disgusting, gruesome smile. "So you wanna fight huh? Fine!" Useing Chidori he ran at Naruto but missed. Naruto took this time to his him with another Rasengan right in the same spot. More blood fell out of Sasuke's mouth and he slumped over.

----------------------------Konoha---------------------------------

"So what do we do with him?" Naruto asked.

Tsunade got a stress mark "How the hell should I know?!" Tsunade yelled. "You're the one who brought him here!!" Naruto looked pissed.

"Yeah, old lady, but YOU'RE hokage!" Naruto yelled right back.

"WHADIDYA CALL ME??" Tsunade screamed. Suddenly out-of-the-blue Sasuke stood in the doorway. He was bruised and muttered "Who the hell dragged me across the ground?" Naruto looked half sheepish and half angry.

"You're heavier than a truck damnit! What did you eat bricks?!" Naruto caught himself. This wasn't like old times. Sasuke could be considered a rouge ninja now. But Sasuke just smiled that smile he sometimes got when he was a kid.

Whispering softly he said "I think I might just stick around awhile...at least until I see Sakura, again." Naruto looked shocked and then furious.

"So you're gonna stay, see Sakura, have her cry over you and then leave?! You are the most heartless person..." Naruto fumed.

Suddenly Sasuke looked even more furious. "So you're saying I should just ignore the fact I'm even IN Konoha?! I haven't been here in TWO YEARS!"

Naruto cut him off. "Look, Sasuke, I know that better than ANYONE! Me and Sakura have suffered because of you!" Sasuke looked slightly taken a back, but then he went back to his old indifference. He looked out the door, "then I'll leave."

Naruto sucked in. "That wasn't what I meant, Sasuke, I meant...you should stay."


Nobuko's POV

Well this was bull. First I had been sent on a suicide mission. Then I had become lost. THEN I was viciously attacked by rabid ninjas. And now I didn't even have a shelter because I was forced to drop my pack at Bitchimaru's lair. "Damn." I muttured. "Well at least things can't get any worse..." At that exact moment a torent of rain drenched the world with water. I shook my head. "Why me? Why me?!" I screamed.

After two hours of non-stop wetness the water...kept coming. It was gonna be a long night. Breathing out, I walked around wondering what I could eat. The answer was nothing. Nothing. Then I rembered about the candy in my pocket. Oh well, I decided, it was better than nothing at all. Tearing open the candy I began to eat. Sweet began to fill my mouth.

It was well into the morning and still no let-up on the rain. Deciding to practice targeting I threw some shuriken at random trees and then retrieved them all. I probably shouldn't waste ammo. The next hour went past without any change.

At about noon the rain stopped, but it was another hour before I saw the flash of orange I had been waiting for. I smiled.

Turning around I shot two shuriken at him, missing him by centimeters. I would like to say I'm the greatest ninja alive, but I would have been lying. I was really mediocre, even though everyone expected me to be great. But enough now. Back to the fight! Suddenly the vines whipped out at me again. Really not wanting to be caught, I dodged like mad. But damn the vines were fast! Zig-zagging through the forest I tried to use the trees as shields but the vines kept coming. Hacking them in half, I ran...straight into the other's attack.

Poofing a shadow clone, he started consentrating chakra in his hand. This was bad, and I could tell. I decided to get away from there fast. But I was trapped immdiatly by the raven-haired boy's vines. I saw it was no use. These guys were good. Sucking in my breath i shouted. "Sharingan!"


BWAHAHAHA! cliff-hanger, i guess.

Before half of you grab your pitchforks and torches and the other half throw tomatoes at me LET ME EXPLAIN!!

(deep breath) Okay.

1. I know Sasuke doesn't have vines. I guess it was meant to be a genjustu or somthing, but I needed it for the scene.

2. Yes I know the whole sensitive Naruto and Sasuke talk was B.S. but i couldn't really think of what they should say...

3. I was slightly sick and tired when I wrote this shit.
