Please remember, Chapter one
It was a beautiful, sunny day at Konohagakure, birds were chirping, kids were playing around & the ex-team 7 members, Naruto, Sasuke & Sakura, were hanging out near the Ninja academy. Naruto was sitting at the swing, each leg at a side!
"So, what are your plans for today, Guys?" Naruto asked while rocking his feet to the front and back.
"I don't know. I might do some training with Tsunade-sama. She says that I can get stronger with healing others." Sakura said, playing with her now longer hair while sitting on the ground next to Naruto. Sasuke sat on the branch of the tree, leaning on the Tree itself…well, Doing nothing actually, not even considering in participating in this conversation.
"Hmmm…" Naruto closed his eyes (one of those times when he closes his eyes and they look like Teuchi's eyes) thinking. "….Perhaps Ero sennin wants me to train harder on my Chakra control &…."
"What's the deal with Ero Sennin? Isn't he one of the three legendary Sannins?" Sasuke said, Interrupting, coming down of the Tree & Standing next to Sakura.
"Ya, well I like calling him that since he IS one big Ero sennin. Heeeee" Naruto laughed at the memory of the time where he first met Jiraya, recalling how he used to peep on naked women so as to be 'inspired' to write a new volume of 'Icha Icha Paradise'. Now that he's mentioned it.
"I have an Idea; let's go say hi to Kakashi-sensei. It's been a while, I have so Much to tell, So much to do... things I haven't done in a while…" Sakura & Sasuke looked puzzled…
"PRANKS!!" Naruto said jumping on the swing, then seconds later falling face down with a Big 'THUMP'.
5 years later, a 16 years old Naruto still loved to pull pranks on others. Let's say it's a habit of his.
"Hahaha…" Sakura laughed pointing at him while Sasuke mumbled 'Dobe' under his breath.
"I HATE YOU TWO" Naruto said getting up, thanking the Hokages for creating Forehead protectors. The look on Naruto's face caused Sakura to laugh even harder while Sasuke had a serious look on his face, but with a hint of a Smile.
"I'm sorry Naruto. But that was funny. I imagined you'd do that." Sakura said getting up and dusting the dirt off her dark red dress.
(The same one from PART I but she's older. So she has another one) Naruto was walking –more like marching- away, hands in his pocket!
"Hey, where are you going?" Sakura yelled.
"I'm going to train a bit." Naruto said without looking back, only raising his hand as 'see you later'.
"Humph…" Sakura said resting her hands on her waist, "…I swear sometimes I don't understand this kid. One minute he's all hyped and ready for pranks, the next minutes he's all serious"
"It's been a while; you should've understood him by now. But I agree with you, He IS weird." Sasuke said walking away casually. Sakura just stood there with a blank look…
"ALRIGHT, DAMN IT!! Sasuke agreed with you" yelled Inner Sakura.
"Oh, you shut up" Sakura mentally yelled back!
Barb-Q restaurant, Chouji's fave Korean Restaurant (was it Korean? That's what I read).
"Oi, bring me another one. I'm hungry" Chouji said, Asuma & Shikamaru were still wondering where all this food goes. Ino, who was sitting next to Chouji, slid away when the food came. She was actually starting to feel sorry for the poor animals eaten by Chouji; it's a massacre (Sorry Chouji fans, not insulting. I actually like him )
"Chouji, if you kept eating this, you'll end up dead" Ino said, of course being ignored by Chouji who's almost done with the new plate.
"How troublesome…" You can guess who said that, actually Sighed them. The 16 years old Lazy Ninja put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes.
"Ino, Leave him. You know his extra weight gives us the Advantage" Asuma said mentioning the (Nikudan Sensha), "besides…" he continued, Drank his cup of tea then put the cup down "…it's genetic, he's a smaller version of his father. he's only a big boned guy, Not Fat" Asuma explained.
"That's Right" Chouji said, stuffing more food in his mouth.
"Asuma-sensei, you're half right about that" Shikamaru said putting his hands on the table.
"What do you mean?" Chouji said food still in his mouth.
"CHOUJI, PLEASE, Swallow before you talk." Ino was disgusted. The food was literally jumping out of Chouji's mouth
"You know, I'm not bothering myself by explaining, it's too troublesome" Shikamaru said, getting up and walking away. "Thanks for Lunch, Asuma-sensei"
Asuma nodded as a reply while they watched Shikamaru walk away, Ino looked out the window. The sky was clear, the weather was nice. She lowered her vision to see a man walking with his two twin 5 year old boys, who were playing with little balloons, they were happy. She smiled at the view. Turning her vision to her sensei who has now lit a cigarette and still studying Chouji's case. Ino took a look at Chouji, and smiled.
"He sure has a huge appetite" Ino smiled drinking her tea as well, Chouji was now done with his plate, sighed and leaned back in his Chair. "Are you full now, Chouji?" Ino smiled at Chouji. He closed his eyes as if he's concentrating...
"I'm still hungry"... Sweat drops
Somewhere in a small field in the forest
"Byakugan!" Hyuuga Neji activates his special Dojutsu and stands with the Gentle fist stance, the famous Hyuuga clan stance. On the opposite side of the field is Tenten, the Young, high pitched Chinese girl stood in her own stance, holding two scrolls in each hand.
"I'm sorry Tenten, but I want to get stronger, so I'm not going easy on you" (wow, Tough guy) Neji said, Tenten Smirked, "I'm not expecting you to."
Tenten puts the two scrolls on the ground, "Sōshōryū!" She yells. Two smoke dragons come out of the scrolls and dragons circle around each other. Tenten jumps in the middle of the two dragons and shoot many weapons, Kunai knives, swords, you name it.
"Kaiten" Neji reflects Tenten attacks with ease. Her weapons are now spread on the ground.
"Ok, seriously. Why do we do this everyday since you OBVIOUSLY and easily can defend yourself, you didn't even use 'Hokkeshou Kaiten'" Tenten said.
"I have to get it stronger. You have other attacks, don't you?" Neji said, realizing that he was talking to himself, "Tenten??" Neji looked around 'I didn't know she could disappear like that, she's sure gotten stronger, but not enough' he smiled and simply dodged a couple of kunai knives that came from above. Tenten then dropped a few meters away from him.
"Neji" Tenten stood up, looking straight into Neji's Purple pupil-less eyes. "You are strong enough; besides, I think you should train with someone like Naruto. Not me..." Tenten said, collecting her knives in one swift move. Neji had a surprised look on his face 'why is she talking like that, she never spoke up what she felt'
"I'm a girl, Neji. I need to go shopping, dress myself in nice clothes. It's true that I should train to become like Tsunade-sama who I really think is cool. But I should have some time off, you know" hanging the scrolls on her waist, "see ya, Neji" she runs away.
Neji was still standing there wondering what happened. 'Tenten never dared to cut our training, well, MY training, I'm only using her as a training machine, i should stop that. She sure has gotten stronger, now.' Neji thought.
"Well, that's it for today" Neji looked at the Sky & figured the time by the sun's position, "it's still around 1pm I guess" Neji looked at the ground. He usually trains till sunset. 'Now that Tenten is Gone...well, I can't practice my Kaiten on my own, I need someone to help'
What is he going to do now?
"I have 3 or 4 hours of free time… hmmm" he thought of something to do, but nothing came out. "Man, I should get some time off... Get a life, like they say" he tightened the knot of his Forehead protector and walked off, hands in his pockets (why do they always have their hands in their pockets? I think it's cool XP)
