The feeling of my foot hitting the training dummy was always answered with a satisfying Thwack! I have been training for hours and I was drenched in sweat, but I could not let up. Gai-sensei was in the hospital from a serious injury, and I have to train for him. "For Gai-sensei!" I yelled and started pounding the training dummy once more. But soon, I was feeling really weak, and the clouds warned that a huge storm was coming. I glanced around and saw no-one training anymore. Must have all gone home, I thought. I started walking home, but decided to stop at Ichiraku Ramen Shop to get some ramen to go. It started drizzling outside, so I began to jog to my destination. The rain slowly got worse and I started running to the Ramen shop. When I finally ducked in, I saw Sakura (my heart nearly stopped), Naruto, Sasuke (my pulse quickened in anger), Sai, and Kakashi-sensei.
"Oh, bushy brows!" yelled Naruto. He stood up to high-five me, but stopped. "Hey, bushy brows, why are you so wet?" Naruto asked curiously. Self-consciousness flooded my brain as I realized that I must have smelled really bad, and in front of Sakura too! "It is raining outside." I said stupidly. "Well, duh!" smirked Sasuke over his bowl of ramen. My fists clenched in anger as I suppressed the urge to retort back. "Would you like something, young man?" The Ichiraku guy asked. "Oh, yes! I am sorry I did not place my order before I talked with my friends. May I please have two bowls of ramen? You can choose the flavor, as long as it is fast, because I am in a hurry. Thank you so much!" I said quickly to the old man who was standing behind the counter. "Sure thing!" he said and I paid him. "Is the other bowl of ramen for Gai?" Kakashi asked me. "Uh, yes it is! How did you know that, Kakashi-sensei?" I asked him incredulously, surprised at how he seemed to know everything. "Well, because Tsunade says that you visit him every day. I just assumed." He said and shrugged, finishing his ramen by dropping it behind his mask.
"That is very smart of you to figure that out, Kakashi-sensei! I am amazed at how smart you are! Almost as smart as Gai-sensei! But you two are not rivals for nothing, I can see that now! Thank you all for your time!" I said, taking the ramen from the guy. I could see that Kakashi did not like being compared to Gai, but I shrugged. Gai was better, even if by a little bit. I winked at Sakura and sent a glare at Sasuke before I ducked out of the shop. It was raining buckets by now, and I could hardly see a few feet in front of me. I could easily get to the medical building; it will just take some patience and perseverance. Two things that I, luckily, excelled at.
