------------------------------------
A few minutes after their sensei left, Naruto finaly said something. "You know, I'm kinda curious, why'd she make it sound like a huge deal when its only dango?"
Hinata just stared at the blonde for a second before walking off in a huff. Naruto just stared in shock at her retreating backside untill she was out of sight before he turned and looked at Shikamaru, who just shrugged and then turned back to his clouds.
"Was it something I said?" Naruto just shruged, turned around and headed for his favorite ramen stand.
-(two weeks later)-
Team 8 was sitting on a log just outside the fence while listening to what their sensei was telling them. Apearently she got word of Naruto's insult to her 'precious' dango, yet again. "All I meant Anko-sensei, was that it's only dango, not ramen." Instantly he knew he was a gonner from the homicidal look she gave him before 'testing his reflexes'. Said test was nothing more than volly after volly of kunai and shuriken.
Finaly after several minutes of trying to turn her student into a pin cushion and almost succeding, Anko decided to get on with the days lesson and with a weak glare aimed at Naruto, she started. "Ok kiddies, time for the fun run, after that I might teach ya something useful. Now get out of my sight." With a groan all three genin stood up and comenced with their daily run/death march.
-hokage tower, 2 hours later-
Team 8 was standing in front of the hokage as he read off a list of mundane tasks, barely even suitable for first year acadamy students.
"No, uh-uh, no way old man. How about you give us something better, something worthy of our skills. I know the other two agree with me too." said naruto as he pointed at hinata and shikamaru. "And I know sensei is getting anoyed too. Come on old man, how about it?" The blonde finished with a mock pout. The Hokage pinched the bridge of his nose in thaught for a second before finaly nodding his head and picking up a scroll that was marked 'C'.
"Fine, since you seem to be speaking for your whole team," at this the other two genin nodded and their sensei coughed, "I do have a mission that is up this teams ally, in terms of skills." He then handed Anko the mission scroll and dismissed them. As the team made their way out of the tower Anko proceded to open the scroll and tell them about their mission, which would start the next day.
"Ok brats, since you have a big mission and all starting tomarrow, I guess I can be nice for a change and give you the rest of the day off, but I want you to at least do some training today. Got that you lazy bastard?" Anko said as she turned her head twords a muttering shikamaru and glared.
"Yes sensei." he replied before slowly walking in the direction of his favorite cloud watching spot. When she turned her head back around to say something to her other two 'rats' she noticed that they were already gone.
"Damn brats disapearing before I can tell them anything, than again I did tell them to get lost. Oh well, dango here I come!" Anko then headed off in the direction of the best place in town to get dango, all the while thinking of cruel ways to 'train' her students.
-Ichiraku's ramen-
Naruto walked in, followed by Hinata, deep in discusion.
"I'm telling ya Hinata-chan, ramen is the best food on the planet. ok, so its not exactly healthy, but with how Anko-sensei trains us, I bet I could eat 100 bowls a day and not have there be any real problems."
"I-I know, b-but you need to eat m-m-more than j-just ramen."
Naruto gave her a look that said 'not in front of the noodles'. He then turned to order his ramen when he saw the shocked look Ayame was giving hinata. "She didn't mean it Ayame-chan, honestly."
"Oh, I know, thats not what shocked me. What shocked me was that shes trying to talk some sense into you." she then turned to hinata "Every one knows you have to beat it into him." she said with a playfull smile, causing Naruto to adopt a mock hurt expresion and hinata to giggle.
"Not you too!" he whined. He then smiled and ordered 5 bowls of creamy chicken ramen, while hinata ordered 2 bowls of vegetable. after eating and paying for their meals, the two genin then split up and went their different ways.
