Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Chapter 18
Naruto sighed as he stood with his team. The blonde girl Satsuki if that was her name…,Naruto didn't care enough to memorize, was beginning to weight on his nerves.
She was so fucking annoying! God I guess it's true what they say…blond girls are idiots.(A.N No offense to any blonde girls reading !) The other girl ,Chihiro, was a little bit tolerable.
Naruto spared her a second glance. She seemed familiar… But both were slow. The boy , Ichigo, was keeping to himself and Naruto liked that. He was fast too. The other boy, Takumi, was alright as well. Fast enough at least and quiet for the most part.
Naruto smirked to himself as Sasuke looked away hurriedly. It was pretty funny. The look on Sasuke's face when he had caught him ogling him. Not that it was anything new to Naruto.
He wasn't oblivious to guys attractions. It's just he'd never had to deal with so much at once. He'd had Fan Boys before but they were less frequent than his Fan Girls so he didn't care enough to notice. But suddenly this year it seemed that his male admirers had grown.
" So who's going first." Takumi asked Naruto looking away lazily. Takumi was fiddling with his phone. Probably texting.
"Yeah what's the plan Uzumaki." Ichigo asked with a his hands behind his head. Curiously similar to Kiba. ( A.N I know it's not Kiba's move but please just bear with me.)
"Hn." Naruto said rolling his eyes at his fan girls who were getting too close again. He wondered why they didn't combust the way Sasuke was glaring holes in the back of their heads.
"Don't ask Naruto san such trivial questions." Chihiro said with a scowl at the boys then flashed a polite smile at Naruto. "He doesn't need to answer your questions. Just know that we will win."
"Yeah Naruto doesn't need to answer you stupid boys!" Satsuki interjected trying and failing to get closer to Naruto again. Ichigo and Takumi growled in warning.
"Shut up you whore I wasn't asking you!" Takumi scowled. " Uzumaki can speak for himself. God you fan girls are so annoying! How do you live with it Uzumaki!"
Naruto rolled his eyes and chose not to answer. He didn't need to be involved in this stupid argument. It had nothing to do with him as far as he was concerned. But might as well stop it before things turn bloody.
"Okay Takumi you go first, your fast so we'll get an early start. Then Satsuki and Chihiro since they don't run fast. Me and Ichigo will go last so we can pick up any slack the girls have left." Naruto ordered coolly without so much as a glance at his team.
Ichigo and Takumi seemed satisfied with the answer.
Satsuki was all squealing about how "Cool" and "Smart" Naruto was. Chihiro also looked at him with admiration.
Naruto rolled his eyes again. God Fan Girls were so easy to please. A smile here. A few kind words there and they were putty between his finger tips. Plainly it disgusted him how easy it was. So fucking fake.
Guy sensei called out. "ALL RIGHT LET'S GET STARTED NOW SHALL WE!!"
Naruto sighed but followed his eccentric teacher out to the starting line. Ichigo and Takumi followed silently with Satsuki and Chihiro bringing up the rear.
"Okay my YOUTHFUL students line up will you! Get ready to run the second I blow the whistle." Guy instructed beaming. He rustled a bit with a bag and took out three batons.
"These will be passed on when you finish running. From teammate to teammate until the race is over. Beginning runners please come up here to pick up your batons!"
With an indifferent nod from Naruto, Takumi went up to Guy sensei along with Shikamaru and Gaara.
They picked up three different colored batons: black for Takumi, Blue for Shikamaru, and Red for Gaara. Then they made their way to the starting line with the boys and girls in the class cheering for their friends.
They went into position. Silence then a shrill of a whistle and then they were off!
The class watched with excitement. It was hard to tell who was getting ahead. All three runners got a good start.
Surprisingly enough it was Shikamaru who started pulling ahead. Who would've thought it? He was always so lazy! So it surprised both runners competing against him as well as the rest of the class.
Shikamaru finished first and passed the baton to Ino who immediately took off though at a relatively slower pace. Shikamaru lay on the ground and promptly passed out.
Kiba whistled and cheered along with the class. Sasuke rolled his eyes but was secretly pleased as well, after all who didn't love winning?
Takumi and Gaara arrived next at the same time. Shino and Chihiro took off as soon as their hands grasped the batons, trying to catch up to Ino who already had a good head start.
Takumi sat down panting hard and pushed his sweaty hair from his eyes. "Sorry." He said sheepishly. "Didn't expect him to be so fast yah know?"
Naruto shrugged . He hadn't been expecting that either. Takumi looked grateful that he hadn't gotten chewed off for his mistake.
"So you think we're gonna win?" Ichigo asked Naruto laying on the grass next to him.
Naruto glanced at him coolly and smirked. Chihiro who had barely finished running squealed.
"Of course." Naruto said coolly his voice oozing confidence. " I play to win. I expect nothing less than total victory."
Takumi, Chihiro, and Ichigo felt whatever doubts they had leave them.
Ichigo smirked from where he sat and nodded.
Takumi smiled and sat down taking out his cell phone again and texting.
Chihiro giggled and said. "Of course Naruto kun I expect nothing less from you."
Naruto rolled his eyes but chose not to comment. He turned his attention back to the race.
Satsuki was far behind sakura and Ten-ten. Not surprising since she was a slow runner though she seemed to be trying to go faster.
Naruto smirked. Is she trying to impress me?
Sakura and Ten-ten passed their batons to Kiba and Neji and then lay down panting. They took off running fast.
Satsuki came shortly afterward. Naruto glanced at ichigo who got the message and took off running taking a hold of the baton. Satsuki plopped on the ground panting hard.
"I did well right Naruto san?" Satsuki asked with a blush adorning her cheeks.
Naruto smiled mechanically and raised his hand and brushed off a stray lock from her face. "You did better than I expected."
Satsuki promptly blushed wildly and passed out. Chihiro rushed forward. "Satsuki!! Satsuki!!! Wake up!!" with a polite bow at Naruto she dragged her over to guy sensei who left to take her to the nurses office.
Naruto chuckled mentally. "Was that really all it took to make her pass out? I should do it more often."
Naruto felt a prickling sensation of being watched and narrowed his eyes and stood up. He glanced around and saw nothing. Takumi raised an eyebrow in question but Naruto ignored him.
Someone was watching him. He glanced over at sasuke and saw him glancing at him and smirked relaxing. It was just Uchiha. Sasuke scowled at him with a pink tint on his cheeks and turned away.
Naruto's smirk widened. It was just so fun irritating the Uchiha. He turned back his attention back to the race forgetting about the prickling sensation.
Ichigo ,like Naruto expected, had turned the race around. Ichigo was catching up to Kiba and Neji. Naruto walked over to the starting line where Lee and Sasuke were waiting.
"Ready to lose Naruto?" sasuke asked with a superior smirk.
Naruto smirked. " Empty words Uchiha." Sasuke scowled.
"Let us have a youthful race shall we my youthful classmates!" Lee shouted pumping his arm up.
Sasuke and Naruto rolled their eyes. Kiba and Neji arrived and Lee and Sasuke took off baton in hand.
Ichigo arrived a second later and handed Naruto the baton. Lee and sasuke were dangerously ahead. The class watched impressed. Lee and Sasuke were fast. Fan Girls squealed as Naruto began to stretch languidly.
"Ha see told you pretty boy is slow!" Kiba loudly told Sakura and Ino, who glared.
"Shut up Kiba!" screeched Sakura. "Naruto san is just stretching! He can beat them easily if he wanted to!"
"Yeah Kiba! You don't know anything!" Ino agreed. "Naruto san is the perfect man he can do anything!" She added dreamily.
Sakura sighed dreamily as well and both squealed as they looked at Naruto.
"Humph." Kiba muttered grumpily. "He's not even trying and he still makes girls swoon for him. Ungrateful bastard." He made his way over to Naruto's team a way away from them and addressed them.
"Hey aren't you guys worried?" Kiba asked Ichigo and Takumi.(A.N Satsuki and Chihiro are still in the nurses office remember?) They turned and looked at him questioningly.
"Yeah you know you're gonna lose unless Naruto starts running. So why aren't you guys worrying."
Ichigo shrugged. "Why should we worry. I know we're gonna win."
Kiba bristled. "See that's what I mean! You think your gonna win just cause you got uzumaki aren't you!? He's not that great you know!!"
"He said we're gonna win." Takumi replied calmly, still texting.
"Huh?" Kiba said confusedly.
"Naruto said we're gonna win." Takumi repeated. "And I don't know about you but I think if he says we're gonna win then it's gonna happen. He is after all an Kazema. We all know what that means, even you must know Inuzaka."
"Troublesome." Shikamaru said coming up to the group. "Of course we know what that means. So Kiba stop bothering them. Let's just see how this thing ends ."
Kiba grumbled profanities but did as he was told. Ichigo and Takumi just shrugged and turned back to the race.
Sasuke and Lee were really up in the lead when Naruto began running. The class watched with bated breath. Naruto went slow at first and then smirking at Kiba he began to speed up.
The class gasped. Naruto was really, really fast! All you could really see was a flash of yellow. He still managed to look so graceful though.
His fan girls squealed out.
"Eeek go Naruto kun!"
"I love you Naruto san!"
"You' re so cool marry me!" Naruto rolled his eyes.
Sasuke was feeling damn confident at this point. Not only was he keeping up with Lee he was pulling up ahead.
That and Naruto still hadn't caught up with them. A flash of yellow distracted him though. He looked sideways and was shocked to see Naruto next to him, as calm as ever.
"Hey Uchiha." Naruto said with a smirk. Sasuke could only gape. "Well see you at the finish line." with that said Naruto sped up again.
