NARUTO TCG: CHUNIN BATTLE TOURNAMENT DUELS-

COILS OF THE SNAKE

Chapter 2:

Haruka Kanata

It's been a few days after Naruto's last mission. He wakes up, eats breakfast, and heads out to meet the others. "Alright!! I'm gonna kick butt on today's mission!! Mach 5!!!"

Naruto's tenant, the fox sage appears beside Naruto, although no one can see him except Naruto. 'Remember, Naruto,' the sage says, 'missions are always fun and games.'

"Yeah, whatever."

Sasuke and Sakura are waiting on the bridge for their daily missions. "Good morning, Sakura!" Naruto calls out. When Naruto and Sasuke see each other, the tension between them mounts. Both turns from each other when the made eye contact. 'Good grief! Not again.' Sakura thought, 'They've been like this ever since we got back from the land of waves. Uhhh! It's like being stuck with a couple of children.' That's when her 'Inner Sakura' echoen in her mind: 'Cha! Hurry up, Kakashi-sensei, or you've had it!!' Kakashi shows up late as usual, 3 hours late as usual. "Hey, guys. Good morning. Sorry I'm late. Afraid I got lost on the path of life."

"Stop lying with that straight face!" Sakura shouts, "Give it a rest."

Naruto stomps towards his teacher. "Kakashi Sensei! Lately all of our missions have been too easy! I want a more, you know, tougher one, where I can shine! That follows my nindo! And my heart like…"

"Yeah, yeah," Kakashi interrupts. "I pretty much know what you're gonna say."

a handful of missions consisting mainly of errands and household chores. Naruto is very focused on beating Sasuke throughout each task and ends up messing up most of his chores. He not only de-weeds a woman's garden, but removes her herbs as well. He almost gets pulled over a waterfall until Sasuke saves him. And his dog walks him instead of the other way around. Kakashi senses that today is an off day for teamwork and sends the three home. "Guess we're not making a lot of progress on the teamwork thing, huh?" Kakashi sighs.

"That's right!" Naruto shouts at Sasuke, "Our teamwork's all messed up and it's all because of you, Sasuke! You think you're better than everyone else?!"

"Not everyone. Just you. Face it: I'm better and stronger than you. It's a fact...unless you have what it takes to prove me wrong! " Sasuke responds.

With that, Sasuke heads home by himself. Sakura runs after him. "Hey, Sasuke," Sakura say when she finally catches up, "why don't we...well...Let's do something more personal! You know, to improve our teamwork and all!"

"I swear, you're just as bad as Naruto." Sasuke says " Instead of flirting, why don't you work on your jutsu and make the team stronger? Let's face it; you're actually worse than Naruto."

This pretty much crushes Sakura as she realizes that she's done the worst of the three. 'He's right.' She thought, 'In every mission, in every mission, I do the least…"

"Forget about him, Sakura!" Naruto calls out to her, "You can train with me! And Kakashi Sensei can…" before Naruto can fully turn his head, Kakashi was already gone. "Huh? Sensei disappeared! Is he giving us some alone time?!...oh well, I'm not gonna lose to Sasuke! Time to train!" As he walks away, A small box masquerading as a rock moves its way to Naruto. It only stoppen when Naruto turns around to look at it, and moves when he turns back around. "Fake rocks? What's up with that?!" Naruto says, "Naruto starts running, with the giant rock following him until he comes to a stop. "That's the worst disguise of all time, there's no such thing as square rocks!" The box explodes revealing Konohamaru and two other kids.

"Oh, it's you. What's with the goggles anyway?"

"What does it look like?" Konohamaru says, "I'm copying the old you!"

One of the kids, a girl named Moegi, walks up to Naruto. "Leader," she says, "are you available?"

"No, I'm training." Says Naruto.

"What!?" Konohamaru shouts, "But you promised to play ninja with us!"

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that."

That's when Sakura came into the picture. "Um, why would a ninja play ninja?" she mumbles.

All four look at her "Hey Naruto," Konohamaru says, "is that your girlfriend?"

"Heh, I guess your right…"

"WRONG!!!" Sakura comes up and punches Naruto in the face. She is totally pissed off. Naruto crashes into a wooden fence. Konohamaru and company ran to help him. "I don't even think she's human!" he says, "Did you see how wide her forehead is?" Now Sakura is really, really pissed off and about to take out her anger on the kids too. As Sakura chases the kids, they run into two mysterious ninjas. An evil looking male ninja picks Konohamaru up and threatens him.
