I just edited some parts of this chapter.


Your Laugh

"I'm going to beat you in this race Ino-pig!" Sakura yelled, "I have Sasuke-kun as my teammate!"

But then a loud voice shouted, "We are going to split you up into teams of two!"

Sakura smiled knowing that she is definitely going to be paired up with Sasuke while Ino was trying not to tear her hair off.

"Team One! Shikamaru and Chouji!" Shizune shouted as she gave them their team number.

"I guess we are teammates again huh Chouji?" Shikamaru asked. He looked at Chouji, "of course….. He is eating those chips again… Troublesome…" he said.

Then he heard Chouji choke on a chip, but then ate another one. This caused a worse situation than before.

"Team Two! Ino and Sakura!"

Thought of saying Uchiha Sasuke, Sakura started to cheer. "Oh yeah! Beat that Ino-pig! I'm with Sasuke!" Then Tsunade interfered

"Sakura…"

"Yes Lady Tsunade?"

"You do know who you are paired up with right?"

"Yup! Sasuke-kun! Am I right! Oh thank you Lady Tsunade! I couldn't have asked you more!"

"Well… you should be asking more because Ino is your teammate. Not Sasuke."

"What! Oh Lady Hokage! Please change Ino with Sasuke-kun!"

"You said that you couldn't have asked me anything else more."

Ino walked up to Sakura and glared while she did too. "Great…. I'm with FOREHEAD-GIRL! I rather be paired up with Shikamaru!"

"Well…. Shut up or I'll stuff your mouth with Chouji's chips!"

Then Shizune shouted the next team. "Team Three! Lee and…..Shino?"

Lee then came out of nowhere and grabbed his number. "Don't worry Shino! This youthful shinobi will not let you down!" he shouted. Shino sweat-dropped.

"Team Four! Hinata and…." Sasuke was looking at her. I hope I am teammates with her, he thought. Then he smacked himself.

"What the heck? Why did I think that?" Sasuke said to himself.

"Naruto!" The Uchiha prodigy turns to see Naruto with Hinata.

"What?" Sasuke asked. Then everyone turns around and looks at Sasuke with really confuse faces.

"What Sasuke? Is there a problem?" Shizune asked. Kurenai looked at Kakashi, who just gave a nod.

"YOUTH!" Lee shouted while Shino asked himself that why is he teammates with him.

"I didn't hear what were the teams were," Sasuke said.

"Oh. Team One is Shikamaru and Chouji, Team Two is Sakura and Ino, and Team Three is Naruto and Hinata. Anymore questions before I announce the other teams?" Shizune asked. Sasuke shook his head and waited for the next team. Neji was about to be filled with disgust as he remembered what happened seconds ago.

"Team Four! Kiba and….. Sasuke!" Kiba turned to see Sasuke with such a confused face.

"How did I get paired up with him?" Kiba asked while Akamaru barked. Sasuke walked over to Kiba and Akamaru and just glared at them.

"Hey Sasuke," Kiba said while giving a wave.

"Hn," he just responded.

"Now! The last team! Team 5! Neji and Tenten!" Shizune yelled while giving their number to the last team.

"Well, I guess we are just lucky to be paired up huh Neji-kun?" Tenten asked, "It could have been worse. You could have been paired up with Sasuke." Neji was about to throw up, but then hold it in.

"I guess you were right," he said.

"Okay! First! You and your teammate have to run around the park. Second, after you're done running around the park, you chose between your team that who's going to catch the golden koi in the pond. There are five in here. Finally, you give the golden koi to the other and that person has to give it to your sensei while dodging knives and jutsu. Also, you can not drop the koi! The prize will be big whoever finishes first! " Tsunade said.

Damn. I wanted to kill the Uchiha, Neji thought

"But what about the last obstacle? You might kill us with knives while using your jutsu!" Ino shouted.

"Oh….. Just survive!" Everyone sweat-dropped. "Also to keep you guys together during the game…." Then the senseis tied a rope around someone's left foot while the other's right foot. Just to be safe…." Then the senseis did hand signs to keep on hold until the second obstacle.

"NOW! ON YOUR MARKS! GET SET! GO!" Tsunade yelled.

Sasuke ran with full speed while Kiba and Akamaru were bouncing on the ground.

"HEY SASUKE! SLOW DOWN! I MIGHT BE RETARDED BECAUSE OF YOU!" Kiba said while his head and body hit the floor.

Sasuke turned around and asked, "Why? Do you have any good ideas?"

Kiba smirked.


"Come on Hinata! Hurry up! We have to beat Sasuke-teme!" Naruto said. Hinata blushed and tried to keep up with him. Then Naruto thought of something.

"I have an idea!"

"W-what i-is i-it Na-Naruto-kun?"

Then Naruto swung Hinata on his back and started to pick up pace. I am on Naruto-kun! I am so happy, but I was a burden to him, Hinata thought as her smile went to a frown.


"I bet I can beat you Sakura!" Ino said as she ran faster, "can you keep up with me?" Sakura was about to slap her face, but ran faster than her.

"Can you beat me Ino-pig?" The pink-haired girl said as she sticks out her tongue.

"Why you!" Ino slowed down and attack Sakura.

She was on top of her and started to pull her hair while laughing evilly.

Tsunade smacked herself and looked at Shikamaru and Chouji. Turns out that they are doing worse. Shikamaru was trying to run, but Chouji just stayed in his place and ate chips. "This is troublesome…" Shikamaru said while trying to pull Chouji, but then fell. Then the Hokage looked at Neji and Tenten.

They are doing quite fine compared to Shikamaru and Chouji, Tsunade thought.

Then out of nowhere, Kiba and Akamaru started going crazy and ran with full speed. This time, Sasuke was hitting the ground. Lee turns around to see Kiba running like a dog.

"Uh Shino…" Lee said.

"What?"

"Turn around." Shino looked back and saw Team Four coming towards them. Then Shino did hand signs and bugs came out of his sweatshirt and went under their feet.

"Shino what are you doing?"


Tsunade was relaxing while drinking her sake. "Hmm…. A nice day in Konoha isn't it Shizune?" Her assistant nodded and finally peace. Until….. They heard Lee shout out youth. Tsunade dropped her sake while Shizune's eyes were popping out. Shino and Lee were on top of a wave made of bugs.

"GO LEE!" Gai shouted as he lifted up his arms.

"What the hell is that smell?" Asuma asked as he looked as Gai.

"It is the smell of youthful victory!" Gai said.

Kiba then ate another pill to help him and started to run faster. This made Sasuke hit the floor faster while Naruto and Hinata were catching up. Then Kiba and Sasuke broke through the wave of bugs. They cleared their eyes and finished with the second course. Kurenai and Kakashi unlocked their rope.

"Yeah! We are the first to finish!" Kiba shouted with pride.

"Actually…. Neji and Tenten are already done with this course."

"What?" Naruto said as he finished his course. Hinata still had that frown on her face and Sasuke saw. That baka, he thought. Sasuke got up and punched Kiba.

"What the heck? What was that for?"

"I almost became stupid because of you,"

"You did that to me!"

"Just forget it. You are going to find the golden koi for this obstacle," Sasuke said as he ran to the last course. Kiba ran to the pond and set Akamaru down.

"Go to Sasuke while I get it," he said. Akamaru barked and followed Sasuke.


"Hinata are you going to do this course?" Naruto asked.

Hinata shook her head. "I-I mi-might ha-have a-a be-better ch-chance w-wi-with t-the ne-next o-one be-because o-of m-my byakugan."

"Yeah you are right! Great thinking Hinata!" Naruto said while Hinata blushed. She ran to the last course and caught up with Sasuke. He turned to see Hinata next to him.

"Hinata?"

"O-oh. H-hi Sa-Sasuke," she said while giving a smile. Sasuke was about to smile until Lee showed up along with Sakura.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled as she clung onto him.

"Get off of me!" Sasuke yelled as he pushed of Sakura, which made her fell. Hinata chuckled quietly. The Uchiha prodigy heard it. It was the only thing he could hear for that moment.

"Sakura-chan! Are you okay?" Lee asked. Sakura shrugged and stood next to Hinata.

"Ugh…. Ino is so annoying! You know I long we took? You are so lucky just to be paired up with Naruto. I rather be with him instead of Ino, but….. How was it?" Sakura asked.

Hinata blushed madly and fell to the ground. "What happened to Hinata-chan again?" Tenten asked. Everyone turned around to see brunette.

"She fainted again." Sasuke said. When everyone was talking to Tenten, Sasuke kneels down and touches her forehead.

Something warm is touching my forehead. For some reason, that person's hand feels good. Is it Naruto-kun, Hinata thought. She started blushing at the thought of 'Naruto' touching her forehead. Sasuke lifted up a brow, but then pushed that thought away. Then Tenten pushed Sasuke aside and woke up Hinata by touching her forehead.

"Wh-where i-is Na-Naruto-kun? I-I fe-felt hi-him to-touch m-my fo-forehead," Hinata said.

"No, that was me." Tenten answered.

"So, how long were you here?" Sakura asked.

"Just twenty seconds before Sasuke," Tenten said.


"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted. There was a loud poof and several Narutos appeared. "Now lets look for the golden koi!" Naruto shouted as he dived in followed by six more splashes.

Neji got out of the water and the same time as Kiba. The Byakugan holder looked at Kiba, who had a fish in his mouth. At the same time, they both ran followed by Naruto, Shino, and Ino.

Then Chouji arrived at the pond. "I guess I am the first one here! Che, and Shikamaru said that we were last," Chouji said, "I will just wait for everyone then."

Everyone heard voices and turned to see their teammates except for Shikamaru. Neji, Kiba, Naruto, Ino, and Shino threw their koi at them. Tenten and Sasuke started running followed by Hinata, Sakura, and Lee.

"NOW! THROW THE KNIVES!" The senseis threw the kunai, but 'accidentally' missed, but then one hit Lee as he focused on Gai's awesomeness.

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei!" Gai ran out to help Lee, but then got hit 'accidentally' by the other senseis.

"You lost your youth out there Lee!"

"I apologize Gai-sensei! Please forgive me! I'll run around this park 500 times!"

"Well….. We can still make this work. Okay! Give me 500 laps now! Double the speed!" Gai shouted.

"Right Gai-sensei!" Then Lee dropped the golden koi and ran.

"Lee is disqualified!" Shizune shouted.

"NOOO!" Gai yelled.

Everyone watched of how close to the finish line. Everyone was at the same pace.

Maybe I can use my shadow possession jutsu to stop someone, Shikamaru thought.

"Shadow Possession Jutsu!" Shikamaru said as a shadow went underneath Tenten.

"What the?" Tenten said.

"….Wait, why are you still running?"

"Because you are running!"

"…..Looks like I am losing then. Wait... Oh shoot. Chouji didn't give the golden koi yet to me. What a drag…" Right near the finish line, a kunai hit Hinata's leg and she fell, which made Naruto almost cry. Sasuke stops, picks up Hinata, and puts her on his back. Sakura, Tenten, and Shikamaru stops and watches the scene.

"No way," Tenten said. Sakura watched as Sasuke slowly passed them along with Hinata. Shikamaru, too, was surprised. What they didn't notice is that Team Four and Team Three won the game.

"Congratulations Team Four and Team Three! You have won!" Tsunade said. Shikamaru, Tenten, and Sakura snapped out of what was happening and notice that they all lost.

"Thank you….Sasuke-san," Hinata said without stuttering, but replaced it with a giggle.

Sasuke actually smiled and said, "You are welcome Hinata." Naruto and Kiba caught up with them and slapped Sasuke's back.

"Thanks Sasuke-teme!" Naruto said while Kiba gave a smirk. They got their prize, which was… a big sake bottle that was empty.

"WHAT? THIS IS OUR PRIZE? A BIG EMPTY SAKE BOTTLE?" Naruto shouted.

"I said that the prize was big didn't I?"

"Okay! First! You and your teammate have to run around the park. Second, after you're done running around the park, you chose between your team that who's going to catch the golden koi in the pond. There are five in here. Finally, you give the golden koi to the other and that person has to give it to your sensei while dodging knives and jutsu. Also, you can not drop the koi! The prize will be big whoever finishes first! " Tsunade said.

"What?" Naruto said.

"So we all did that for nothing?" Kiba asked.

"Um…. I have to go back to my office," Tsunade said while being followed by Shizune and some angry children.


Entry 3

Even though your laugh is quiet, it is the only thing that I hear. It is like a soft and sweet lullaby to me.

Sasuke closed the journal and set it on his shelf. He jumped into his bed and fell asleep. He was too tired to write more of Hinata's laugh. So, he had to take a nap.

"Kakashi, I think we should go to sleep too. We have been spying on Sasuke for a while," Kurenai said as she yawned.

"Then go to sleep here."

"What? On the tree?"

"Yeah, but be careful. I fell off one time."
