A/N: Thanks for all the reviews. Sasuke's secret was actually hard to come up with. It had to be something original, something no one would expect. You will find out about it, but it isn't something commonly used. I hope you all enjoy this chapter as much as I enjoyed wring it.

BEGIN

Haruno Sakura, beloved fangirl of Uchiha Sasuke. Uzumaki Naruto has the HUGEST crush on her, but she doesn't return the feelings. Unfortunately Naruto still hasn't understood the meaning for the subtle 'yelling' that literally screamed

"I DON'T 'LIKE' YOU BAKA" so to this day, Naruto continuously loves/admires/thinks-she-is-perfect Sakura. Sakura hates it; she doesn't mind Naruto when he isn't all mushy on her. But when he is, who would love that? (She still hasn't noted that's how she acts around Sasuke, talk about not being able to see beyond her own nose) So, the set for today's drama has been cast. As Sakura stalks the Uchiha, Naruto stalks the Haruno, and the Hinata stalks the Uzumaki (but no one sees her) the Uchiha leaves his hiding place, Haruno follows followed by Uzumaki and Hyuuga.


Sasuke was leaving his apartment, he had to go towards the training ground, or someone would find out his secret, he notes Sakura stalking him, and the dobe stalking her. For a second he thought he saw Hinata, but it wasn't possible because she was too meek and mild to do something like that, so he brushed it off. He decides to lose Sakura by running as fast as he can; naturally she isn't fast enough to keep up with him. As he was running, he saw a disturbing site.


"RUN FASTER YOU LAZY DEER, I HAD A DEER AS A FRIEND WHO WAS FASTER THAN YOU, no seriously his name was chopper."

Shikamaru was running as fast as he could, following him was a herd of bulls, each wanting to impale him for the red clothing he wore. Shikamaru screamed out,

"YOU PLANED THIS DIDN'T YOU USOPP! SHOULD NEVER HAVE LISTENED TO YOU SUGGESTING I WEAR RED AND WATCH THE RODEO"

Jumping around a corner Shikamaru again cursed the day he opened that dam scroll.


Sasuke stared in mild shock as about 100 bulls chased one Shikamaru waring red clothing, each trying to impale him. He was actually doing an interesting job at running away. 1 impales 5 dodges repeat, how or why the bulls are chasing Shikamaru Sasuke will never know. Putting that odd distraction aside, Sasuke noted with pleasure that Sakura was gone and Naruto had disappeared. He could now train in peace.


Naruto lost sight of Sakura when Shikamaru and a herd of bulls ran past him. Defeated, he decided to enter the training grounds near the Uchiha complex. In fact it was just a small distance way, 10 mins walk tops. He decided to run; when he had arrived he began his daily stretches, some kicks and practice perfecting some of his moves. All the while hiding his disappointment he didn't have the chance to ask Sakura-Chan out again.


Sakura was one unhappy customer; she had lost Sasuke to a bunch of stampeding bulls and a blur of red, oddly Shikamaru shaped. What annoyed her further was when she realised that Naruto was following her again, stalking to be more precise.

"Aaaaahhhhh!!!" she screamed in frustration, she then set of looking for something to do, most likely Sasuke related. (But you never know)


'100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110' Naruto paused and drank some of his water from a drink bottle,

"Man, who knew kicking could be so hard?" Naruto mumbled to himself, he really wasn't expecting a reply.

"Yes, kicking can be hard" as he turned around he saw a strange scarecrow looking, one-eyed jounin.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked in his usual 'I don't care who you are, but I think your stupid so I won't respect you' kind of voice. The scarecrow looked at Naruto and sighed,

"I was going to train here, but someone else (you) was already here" Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Hehehe, sorry" Scarecrow just sighed.

Hinata gasped when she saw the jounin face/mask, she had heard of this one, apparently one of the strongest ninja's in the village, Hatake Kakashi. Genius of a major Calabar, the only person to grow through the ranks faster than his was the traitor Itachi. Master of the Sharingan and has an arsenal of over 1000 jutsu's according to rumours. Apparently he was also a student of the Fourth Hokage.

Sharingan no Kakashi was having a good day, he brought the newest 'episode' of icha icha paradise, failed another team and decided he needed to train, so he went to his favourite training ground, the one near the Uchiha compound. When he got there, he saw his sensei's son. Saw a hyuuga spying on his sensei's son. He decided to interrupt the kicking Genin. After a brief 'hello' (more like, who are you?) he decided to give the Genin a hand.

"So, what are you doing?" The blonde just looked at Kakashi like he had grown another head,

"Cant you see I'm training?" Kakashi rolled his Sharingan eye. Of cause he could, he had done enough of it to know when anyone was training in a 1-mile radius.

"I'm trying to start a conversation" Kakashi spoke in his usual drawl.

"So, what's your name?" Naruto stoped mid kick and turned to Kakashi, and yelled as loud as he could,

"I'm UZUMAKI NARUTO! I AM GOING TO BE THE NEXT HOKAGE" Kakashi, said nothing, and when Naruto started to get impatient enough to so say something, Kakashi turned to Naruto from his perverted book and said,

"You say something?" Naruto got angry and started yelling at Kakashi, Kakashi just smiled, he was as easy to annoy as Gai, in fact they would probably get along really well. Kakashi shivered with the though of Naruto wearing Gai's spandex. In fact he shivered so much he had to leave to forget about the images.


After training of a while and meeting some freaky ninja, Naruto decided to try to ask Sakura out again, so off he went. He walked along town, looking for his pink haired wonder. So eventually saw her, talking to Ino about good old times holding a flower. They may be rivals, but they are still friends in the heart.

"HEY SAKURA-CHAN!" Sakura heard the voice and strangely enough she developed a depressed aura.

"WILL YOU GO ON A DATE WITH ME!" Ino laughed at Sakura's expression but Sakura just sighed, she had to break it to Naruto that she just wasn't interested.

"I'm sorry, but I'm just not interested, Sasuke-kun is the only one for me!" Sakura placed a hand on Naruto in sympathy.

"What's so good about Sasuke anyway?" Naruto muttered under his breath, he would defeat Sasuke and find out, yes. Naruto then declared to the world,

"THEN I SHAT DEFEAT SASUKE, AND SAKURA WILL HAVE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH ME." Naruto ran of to the distance to learn what Sasuke had that he didn't.

"Ino" Sakura sighed defeated,

"Naruto just doesn't get it" Ino nodded her head in agreement. Naruto completely missed the point.


At home, Naruto grabs dark clothing (read, DARK ORANGE) and exits the house to search of Sasuke. Treating it like a mission he asks around and asks people where he is. Apparently people saw Sasuke walking towards a training ground on the other side of the village. Naruto thanks him and runs, as he is running, he runs into Kiba,

"Hey Naruto" Naruto pauses,

"Hey Kiba, what's up?" Kiba just shrugged,

"Nothing much, hoping you were doing something interesting" Naruto nodes so he tells Kiba his plan,

"I'm going to discover what is so 'cool' about Sasuke that everyone seems to like. Want to join?" Kiba with nothing better to do agrees. Together they run towards the training grounds Sasuke was lastly seen walking to. Jumping and dodging people, they ran. It seemed as though people wanted to stop their progress. Then they neared the training grounds a bunch of fangirls guarded the grounds.

"Sasuke-Kun said, no one is to see his training" Kiba sighed, and pulled Naruto over,

"We may not be able to get in Naruto" Naruto looked at Kiba shocked,

"Are you giving up Kiba? I though you were better than that!" Naruto grabbed Kiba and began to work on a plan to get in.

Once the plan was completed Naruto then walked over to the girls,

"HELP, HELP my friends dog has a rare disease that is only contagious to fangirls!" Kiba came with tomato sauce smeared all over Akamaru's Mouth; they got him to bark a lot and growl.

"YOU HAVE TO RUN, ALL WE WILL ALL DIE" Kiba yelled as loud as he could. The fan-girls all screamed and ran. Naruto and Kiba grinned and did a hi-five.

Silently they crawled to Sasuke and stayed hidden, they saw him training. Naruto brought out a camera and a notebook. He handed the camera to Kiba,

"When he does something interesting take a picture. I will take notes on how to be cool, and what's so interesting about him" They waited. After about 15 mins, they had recorded a lot of useful information, such as

Sasuke hated his brother with vengeance. His training post was Itachi shaped

Sasuke liked fire jutsu's. A LOT

Being silent is bound to make you look cool.

Sasuke was trying to unlock his blood limit.

Eventually Sasuke did something they never expected. After he had pulled out some snacks and eat them, (Kiba and Naruto did the same) Sasuke, brought out a CD player and brought out some tights. Once he turned it on, soft music came out, slowly he started to dance, not just any dance, but a ballerina dance. It was then they saw it Sasuke was a ballerina. Kiba was having a field day taking pictures; Naruto was trying his hardest not to laugh. Kiba was in a fit of giggles. Eventually they couldn't hold it in anymore. They burst out laughing giving away their location.

"HA HA HA HA HA" when Sasuke saw them, and with a camera, he grew as pale as a white sheet of paper.

"You didn't take any pictures did you?" Kiba just laughed harder at Sasuke's expression, so did Naruto. Sasuke assumed the worst;

"If you show anyone those pictures or tell anyone about what you just saw, I'll kill you" how serious Sasuke sounded shut them up, only to start laughing again when they looked at Sasuke, his expression looked comical when added to his look.

"I'm serious, I can and I will" Kiba just laughed,

"Sure you can, sure" Eventually they stopped laughing. When they did Sasuke performed a quick Katon jutsu and destroyed the 'evidence' (the camera) Kiba and Naruto looked shocked, but they laughed, showing the camera and where the camera was a burnt log. Sasuke grew afraid. Naruto and Kiba just walked away. Two words in their mind, and that was Black mail.


On the other side of town, one Shikamaru was not as lucky; who would have thought running away would be such a chore.

"Strategic retreating!" The annoying voice in the back of his mind declared. From what he had been able to gather, Usopp was once a pirate belonging to a famous pirate crew, the best of the best.

From what Usopp had declared from watching Shikamaru's memories of Naruto's fight, his fighting style was the same as their cooks, Sanji, or more commonly known as black leg. He moved another piece on the Shougi bord, Usopp was interesting to play, and he knew the game and was reasonably good at it. But he wasn't the straw hats strategic adviser for a reason. Although Shikamaru wasn't told why it must have been hard on Usopp, so he let it be.


Naruto Sat in the safe confines in his house, it was quiet as he concentrated on gathering his chakra.

"BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" smoke gathered, and all that could be seen was one Naruto and a sickly deformed clone.

"WHY CANT I GET THIS JUTSU RIGHT!" He closes his eyes and gathers chakra again.


Tenten, assistant at the local weapons store, had just finished her shift,

"Hmm, what's this?" it was a sword in a white sheath, the owner then told her about it.

"Ah, what you have there is a famous sword said to be wielded by the famous pirate hunter, turned pirate Roronoa Zoro. This scroll came with it, but none have been able to open it. Here, take the sword and scroll I'm sure it will suit you better than me."

Tenten thanked the owner and set of to her apartment.

END

A/N: I decided to make Sasuke a ballerina; the decision was based on a cartoon I saw when one of the bullies was one, when asked why he said it helps him fight with fluidity and grace making him faster and stronger, well something among those lines. For Zoro's fighting style I always though Tenten didn't have enough development and she was the only weapons user we know around that age group, so there as weapons user with one sword turning three swords. I'm going to have lee a rival of sorts with Naruto since both are going to be heavy taijutsu. Well, hope you liked that chapter.

NEXT TIME: The academy final examination, does Naruto pass or fail? Truth of the Kyuubi attack, what's does that have to do with Naruto?

Please Review and honesty is appreciated. Thanks, The great David
