Sigh, I know, I haven't updated in a long time. I feel like I'm doing this to every chapter now! SO DISSAPOINTED. I got a message from one of the readers (not sure who, but it was a guest I think…) asking if I quit writing the stories
Answer: NO! I will not ever give up writing in the middle of a fiction. I hated it when writers gave up and left the stories hanging. If I start something I will definitely finish it… eventually.
Just to let you know, Ghai is temporarily gone... for about two months. She's on a trip somewhere and won't be revising my story for a while :'(. I feel so lonely. Also I started my new story since Trading places is almost done! :D But I'm not going to update that until it's done so be patient!
Also, I will start updating more starting in the middle of June when school is over and I graduate! I was thinking of not updating until then, but I felt bad so started writing again.
Anyways, here's the new chapter of Konoha Academy
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
"Carnival, carnival, carnival!" Naruto chanted, practically skipping towards the fairgrounds with Konohamaru in tow.
"Naruto wait up!" Kiba yelled and ran after the two."
Naruto stopped and tapped his foot impatiently. "You know for a mutt you're really slow."
Kiba rolled his eyes."It's not my fault that I didn't push everyone out of the way on the bus to get here faster. Seriously, you should have waited until more people go off. You nearly made everyone fall." Kiba lectured on about. A few seconds in silence and the two teens started cracking up. "Hahaha, but you should have seen the look on that man's face!"
"I know, and did you see Sasuke's face when I tried to drag him with me?" Naruto asked imitating the wide eyed gaping face of Sasuke.
"Yeah I did! I never saw him like that before and when you left him with all those pissed off people." Kiba began to laugh harder.
"Haha, yeah, but I do feel kind of bad for him. Although he is a teme, maybe we should have at least brought him out of the bus all the way." Naruto said, feeling a bit guilty and slowly starting to stop laughing.
"Yeah, but too late. It's already done and let's hurry up because Konohamaru is going to beat us there." Kiba said pointed at the little boy.
"Oh crap! Konohamaru wait!" Naruto screamed after him and the two boys ran. Konohamaru looked back and started laughing, running faster towards the entrance.

"That's such a rip off."Kiba grumbled, splitting the carnival tickets into three equal shares. "Why do we have to pay for admission and for all of the rides and games we go to? Plus their food is way overpriced!"
"At least we got the wrist bands for the rides instead of the tickets. Now we don't have to waste the game tickets on rides." Naruto said, trying to lighten up Kiba's mood.
"Yeah, but It's still expensive." Kiba muttered and sighed, looking down at his half empty wallet. "You better pay me back later Naruto."
Naruto nodded and walked side by side with the other two boys towards the food area to meet the rest of their group.
"Are we almost there because I want to ride the rides already?" Konohamaru whined.
"Yes. See the signs right there?" Naruto asked pointing towards a sign that said 'Food', 'Hotdog's, 'Lemonade' (etc.)
"Yes finally! Where are the other people so we can go do stuff?" Konohamaru asked, basically bouncing up and down.
"That's a good question. Which concession stand were they eating at anyways dog face?" Naruto asked.
Kiba looked around at the packed area searching for the others. "Hey Fox Face you have a phone with you?" Kiba asked while turning towards Naruto, but he wasn't there. "Oi Naruto!" He looked around frantically searching for the blonde, but he couldn't see him anywhere. "Naruto!" he shouted out again. In the corner of his eye he spotted a faded orange shirt with a mop of blonde hair and a short little person near the other. Kiba sighed," You could've told me you found them." He muttered walking towards the others.

Sasuke was annoyed. Everyone could tell. After Naruto abandon him with all those people he felt like he could kill. It was bad enough that Naruto left him with people to lecture him, but it was even worse when he saw his brother's friend near the carnival's entrance. Deidara. Oh how he hated him. He was loud, obnoxious, and irritating. Sort of like Naruto, but Naruto was just… better.
Sasuke glared at Deidara's back. Deidara began to walk tenser. "Itachi he's staring at me." He whispered in his ear, glancing back at Sasuke with the corner of his eye.
Itachi shook his head and sighed. "Just deal with it. He'll be gone in just a little while."
Deidara continued walking. "What are you even planning to do anyways?"
"Well I don't know how I'll get Blondie alone, but after that I got it all planned." Itachi answered with an evil smirk.
Deidara rolled his eyes. "Sometimes I don't know why I'm your friend. I don't even know who you're trying to set your brother up with!" He whispered harshly, glancing back at Sasuke again who was obediently walking behind them, but still glaring.
"Oh well, you'll probably like him. He reminds me a bit of you. Loud, idiotic, and interesting"
Deidara playfully punched him in the shoulder. "What's that supposed to mean?" Itachi smirked and continued walking. "Hey don't ignore me Un!"
'Itachi if you were going to meet with that idiot why did you bring me here?' Sasuke asked himself, slightly annoyed with how they kept looking back at him. He continued walking… or crutching I guess because he was still using the crutches for his sprained ankle

"Let's go on the rides first, games later." Kiba suggested to the group. Everyone shrugged and began walking towards the rides.
"Tch, how troublesome." Shikamaru grumbled when seeing the long lines for the rides. Every line had at least fifty people besides the Ferris wheel. Shikamaru sighed," You want to go on the Ferris wheel first?" He asked everyone.
Naruto pouted. "But Ferris wheels are so boring!" He whined petulantly.
"Yeah, Naruto-Nii is right!"Konohamaru agreed.
"Whatever, it is the shortest line after all." Chouji shrugged and headed towards the line with Shikamaru, ignoring Naruto. Everyone else followed.
"I just want to know if Sakura-chan is here." Lee announced as he walked passed Naruto.
"Fine, come on Konohamaru. When this is over we'll just go to the other rides. The lines will probably be shorter later." Naruto suggested.
Konohamaru sighed. "Fine." All seven of them headed towards the line.
Though it was only about ten people in line it took forever. Apparently each round is about 5 minutes and there were two rounds. In line Shino kept looking at the bugs flying by and actually starting pretty normal conversations for a weird fellow like him, Naruto and Konohamaru had a round of slapping tennis games (1) and other hand games, Lee was jogging in place and jumping up every time he saw something pink hoping it was Sakura, Shikamaru looked up at the clouds with Chouji, and Kiba watched Naruto's and Konohamaru's "Tennis" match trying to play winner.
The Ferris wheel finally stopped and the line started moving. "Finally!" Kiba shouted. The group moved up and showed the venders their wrist bands. The venders looked questionably at the threes' hands which were bright red from all of the slapping. The seven of them split up into two groups of two and one of three; Shikamaru and Chouji in one, Lee and Shino in the second one, and Naruto, Konohamaru, and Kiba in the last.
Konohamaru was hanging onto the railing, practically hanging out of the cart. The venders yelled at him to get inside. Konohamaru sulked, but obeyed, only hanging his head out. Naruto' cart and probably everyone else in the carnival heard Lee shouting out "SAKURA-CHAN" when he spotted the pinkette, also getting in trouble by the vender, but waving to her for the rest of the ride. It seemed that the only quiet cart out of theirs were Chouji's and Shikamaru's.
Naruto was hanging out of the cart like Konohamaru looking down at all of the people. "They look so small from up here." Naruto stated when his eyes spotted a certain raven head, Sasuke. Sasuke was walking by the game and ride area following his older brother and a tall blonde he didn't know. That was probably that one Deidara kid Kiba and Shikamaru were talking about the day Naruto blew up his science experiment. (About two days ago.)
It's weird. He just met these people less than a week ago, but he feels as if he knew them forever. Even Sasuke. Though you can't really call their relationship friendship, they definitely grew some sort of relationship with each other. Now Naruto couldn't imagine his life without them. He grew so close to his friends; closer than the people he used to be around anyways. It's also weird to actually be able to make friends so easily. He never really made that many friends before now and the friends he made in the past weren't considered friends, but acquaintances. Though Naruto didn't know much about them and they didn't know much about him, he felt as if he could trust them. Hopefully what he was thinking is true.
The ride was slow. It was more of a place to look at the view rather than a ride that gives people an adrenaline rush. The Ferris wheel was fairly tall; about 26 meters. From the top you could see the whole fairground and behind a "forest" of evergreen trees you could faintly see Konoha in the distance. The ride was slow and peaceful. When you go up it feels as if you were being separated from the world and all of its drama. He remembered the people around him he called "friends" as they watched him getting beaten up, the blonde hair of his becoming stained with red from his own blood. Naruto's face dropped at the thoughts of his previous life. A slight breeze blew through Naruto's hair. Naruto sighed and close his eyes, 'Stop thinking about the past.' He told himself, blocking out the sounds of the carnival and Konohamaru's and Kiba's conversation. 'New town and new people; this is a place to start over and just forget.' But then again, you can't hide from the past forever.
Naruto opened his eyes and enjoyed the view while it lasted.

The ride ended shortly after. Up there, time passed by quickly. Apparently the only reason Shikamaru and Chouji were so quiet was because Shikamaru fell asleep and Chouji had no one to talk to because of that. Lazy Shikamaru.
Since Naruto and Konohamaru kept whining- I mean begging to go on the rides the group finally decided to go in line for one called Supersonic 300. Naruto didn't understand why there was a 300 after the name Supersonic. Was there three-hundred different models of that rollercoaster? That would be a lot of Supersonics. Why it was even named Supersonic? It only goes 65 mph! The line wasn't really better than before. Only about 5 people less. Kiba and Naruto argued about which video games better, Konohamaru joining on Kiba's side. Shino and Shikamaru were talking about the school's upcoming events and a back to school party for some odd reason, and Chouji and Lee were talking about the new item on the menu of Chouji's favorite Korean barbeque place.
"No, DDR is so much better than Just Dance! Think about the older games. Something about older games is so much better just like how older TV shows are better!" Naruto argued.
"Just dance is better! For DDR you have to play on that stupid mat and that gets irritating. Plus how is stepping on arrows dancing?" Kiba retorted.
"DDR is more addicting and you actually move during DDR instead of just shaking your hand to get a high score and Konohamaru have you even played DDR?"
"Yeah I've played the one at the arcade and I had to stomp on the arrows for it to actually work. The Wii remote doesn't force you to fling your arm at the TV." Konohamaru added, joining in their stupid argument.
"The arcade version is way different than the at home one. At home the mats are easy to use and the options are cool.
"Don't listen to him Konohamaru. He's just trying to pretend their different even though they aren't AT ALL."
Konohamaru ignored Kiba."Well then Naruto-nii you should let me play tomorrow if you have the game since I'm coming over tomorrow anyways."
"Fine I will and I'll show you how much better it is." Naruto said sticking his tongue out at Kiba. Kiba mocked his face.
A moment of silence crept between the three. Kiba shifted awkwardly. "…Hey Naruto, you should let me come over to play too… It's not fair if we don't have both games there to prove which is better."
Naruto began to smirk, "Aw is wittle Kiba feeling left out?" He said in a baby voice.
Kiba glared back at him," No! As I said earlier, if you don't have both games then… then it wouldn't be fair. I just want it to be f-"
"Kiba would you shut up and just go on the ride?" Shikamaru interrupted, waiting for Kiba to move up since he was holding up the line.
Kiba "hmphed" and walked into the first carts second row of seats. Naruto and Konohamaru sat in the front two, Shikamaru sat besides Kiba, Chouji sat with Shino, and Lee sat to this one girl that was in line behind them.
"Hey dog-face, don't wet your pants." Naruto said.
"Ah, same thing goes for you Naru-Chan."
"I'm not a girl."
"Don't know that now do we?"
Naruto rolled his eyes and began to focus on the ride. The ride's vender came up to Naruto and pushed down his seatbelt for him making sure it was secure. To Naruto it was a little loose. He wiggled the handles a little and felt that there was a little too much free space for comfort. "Excuse me?"He called out to the vender The vender turned around to him with a unamused face. The vender had his hair pulled back with a navy blue bandana and a toothpick in his mouth. He wore a muddy-green vest over the park's uniform. "Ano-sa umm… is it okay if I have my seatbelt tightened?" Naruto asked. The vender sighed and walked up to Naruto's spot again pressing down on the seatbelt lightly. Naruto read the name tag that was on the vest. 'Genma'
Genma walked away. Naruto wiggled the seatbelt. It was the same exact place as before. 'That bastard just pretended it locked all the way! Unless… my seat was actually broken and couldn't be pressed all the way.' Naruto paled a little and looked at Genma. He had a mischievous grin on his face and for a moment he looked at Naruto and started smirking knowingly. 'THAT BASTARD!'
"Welcome to Supersonic 300. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride… if you can." Genma announced. The ride began to move. Naruto clutched the seatbelt as if his life depended on it, knuckles turning white.
"Aw, scared Naru-chan?" Kiba teased.
"N-no, but I couldn't say the same about you." He retorted
Naruto heard Kiba snort. "Well I was just a little worried because your skin is turning white." He began mocking. Naruto decided to ignore Kiba. The ride was almost at the top of the biggest hill.
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die." He chanted in his head over and over again. The cart reached the top and stopped. At the same time Naruto's heart stopped too. He could feel the cart move under him, the shoulder constraints moving away from his body as the coaster rushed towards the ground, jerking his body forward and causing a tingling sensation in his stomach. It lasted for only a few more seconds, and then it happened again. Body moving side to side as the carts turned left and right. Naruto felt his shoulder constraints loosen as he went through the loop. Crap, is it not on all the way he panicked. When the roller coaster was fully upside down, he completely regretted going on this ride as he felt his body fall to the ground onto the cement below. "Naruto!" He heard his name being screamed and shrieks for the other carnival visitors. It all sounded like a small buzz. Soon everything around him flash brightly and then went dark.

Is what he thought happened. The ride continued on normally.. No blondes falling out of the ride. When it was over they all exited normally. Naruto's face was pale, muttering things about stupid ride venders and wanting to go to the bathroom. Kiba and the rest began teasing Naruto.
"Ahaha I thought Naruto-kun was more brave than that." Lee teased.
Naruto's back hunched, " Lee you betrayed me. I thought you were the only one who was not going to make fun of me… besides Shino."
"I do too also have a sense of humor." Lee stated proudly.
Konohamaru laughed at the older ones from behind, sort of feeling a little left out. He was the only young person around that group of guys so he felt out of place. (even thought they are all young)
Konohamaru looked around in the crowd. There were many people in the fair. Everyone between old to infant. In the corner of his eyes Konohamaru spotted a head of spiked black hair and turned around. "Ah! Inari!" Konohamaru shouted and ran towards his friends, leaving Naruto's group behind, yet none of them noticed since they were all too busy making fun of Naruto.

"NO! I was not scared. My seatbelt was just too loose! Let's just go on another ride, okay? Where do you want to go now Konohamaru?" Naruto looked where Konohamaru previously was minutes ago, but saw nothing. Konohamaru? Oi Konohamaru!"
"Seriously Naruto, how do you lose a kid?" Kiba asked
"Shut up Kiba, you didn't notice either." He retorted. " I don't know but we have to find him." He started panicking. "Um, let's just spread out and call me you found him and meet at the food stands in an hour if none of us found him by then." Naruto ordered and began running to the direction they were previously at. The others nodded and began running everywhere around the fair.

(This might have been bad because i didn't edit this chapter that much)
Oooh, I finally began to add drama and all that crap. Seriously, my story's beginning to sound like one of those cliché ones and I don't know what to do with it. Somebody saaaave me!
So what do you think is going to happen with Naruto and the rest? What's Itachi planning? How do you think Sasuke is going to react with Naruto? Who are those friends from the past?
Answer to myself: I have no idea.
slapping game of tennis is where you hit the back of another's hands as you connect them and keep slapping until the opponent lets go.
My question to you guys. Is it too late to start adding drama and crap to my story because is seemed so to me?
Thank you for reading this chapter also and sticking with this story even though I suck at updating.. Please review follow and favorite!
BYE!
