3AM Ramblings
Rant
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I really want to though. Unfortunately, I don't have alot of money so I can't buy it off Kishimoto
A/N: GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS! IT'S SASUKE'S BDAYYY! XD Yeah. I have to write a SasuNaru fic now in honor of Sasuke and also because I missed SasuNaru day because I was busy procrastinating. And, you know, summer homework.
The day started out normally for Team 7. "Normal" is unfortunately not a very good word to describe Team 7, knowing how dysfunctional Team 7 generally is and how bad the author very bad in terms of word choice. As per usual, Sasuke and Naruto were bickering over something entirely useless and perhaps inconsequential, as Sakura looked on, waiting for their jounin sensei to arrive late with a lame excuse about a puppy in a tree. Everything was seemingly "normal" for Team 7. It was, until Kakashi arrived 20 minutes later, surprsingly really early for said shinobi. Kakashi surveyed the scene around him, specifically, the pair bickering. He sighed.
"Maa, maa, my cute genins," drawled Kakashi, catching the attention of the trio, "We have to do some, uh, exercises. Hokage-sama is kinda concerned about the level of angsting and monologuing we Konoha shinobi have been doing since the Shodaime Hokage."
Kakashi paused before continuing on:
"So, Sandaime-sama prroposed that every team should get all that tennage angst out of your systems fore you are all killed by a stray kunai that you happened to not notice because you are all busy monologuing and angsting. "
"Ne, sensei…" Sakura looked thoroughly conused. "How are we suppoes to let out all that angst?"
"Smart question, Sakura. That's why I'm going first."
Kakashi patted a nearby tree, indicating wordlessly to the three genin that said tree was now called The Ranting Tree. He walked in front of The Ranting Tree's trunk. He took a deep breath and began.
"This is also a good exercise on getting to know your teammates better. Watch. My father killed himself out of shame. My best friend died due to my incompetence, I lost my eye, I couldn't protect my other teammate and my sensei died."
Silence. All was heard but the rustling of leaves overhead.
"Wow! That seems so easy!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Dobe, you're killing the mood." Was Sasuke's cool reply.
"Why don't you go next Naruto?" was Kakashi's quick interjection before a fight could break out.
Naruto placed himself in front of The Ranting Tree. His face turned grave, his blindingly bright smile gone.
"Well…where to start? The spirit of the demon nine-tailed foz was sealed inside me the day I was born, which caused the entire village to shun me for most of my life. I had no friends and grew up alone. Also, my parents are dead. Hell, I don't even know who my parents are!"
The tension, by now was so thick you could cut it with a steel block. Kakashi broke the silence.
"Sasuke, why don't you go next?"
"Hn."
Sasuke walked to the Tree, shoving his hands in his pockets.
"My older brother massacred our entire clan, including my parents. He left me as the sole survivor so I could spend my life focusing on revenge. The experience has turned me emo and angsty."
He left the tree, Sakura, being the last of Team 7 who didn't rant yet, stood up and walked to the tree. Her teammate watcher her, expecting a tragiv angsty teenage sob story. She was nervous and she took a deep breath.
"I had a large forehead and was teased about it."
An indignant "WHAT?" was heard from Training Ground 3 followed by the sound of birds squawking.
A/N: eh. I kinda like this one. Your opinion MATTERS. REVIEW.
