Surprisingly, many people liked my new version of the story, which motivated me to write another chapter, so here it is. Hope you like it.
I don't own Naruto.
Chapter 2: Prank time!
Sasuke was at the training grounds in the forest. The sun was setting down as it shone through the green leaves of the trees painting the whole village with warm tones of red and orange as purplish clouds shaded the little spots where trees had not. The sounds of birds could be heard replacing the loud cry of cicadas in the late summer as a certain blond hid behind a tree like a small red fox approaching his prey.
"Why didn't I look here before?" Cursed the ramen lover. He had been looking for hours and had found the raven in the most obvious place! He was really eager to put his plan in action and that bastard had to avoid him all day long!
Just after Kakashi had left Sasuke disappeared as well, annoyed by the pink-haired teen, ruining Naruto's fun and making the wait for his revenge even longer (That idiot! Ò.Ó)! That is why Naruto had to miss lunch as he went searching for the Uchiha, running and panting through every little corner of the village that he knew so well like a mad horse, stumbling and tripping as he dashed.
He'd finally found his rival in the deep in the woods hitting a rock with a powerful chidori creating a big crack on said mossy boulder. The pale boy looked up tiredly with a glint of hope in his eyes that quickly faded as he realized what poor effect his attack had had. He cursed under his breath and clenched his scarred hands (he must've really been training hard 'ttebayo Ò.Ó!) until his knuckles turned white. The teen took a few steps back and made the hand signs for the jutsu again; his eyes turned a fiery crimson tone as two tomoe formed around each pupil spinning with fury as his hand lit up with blue chakra that transformed into electricity so fast that Naruto missed it as he blinked. "Lightning Style: One Thousand Birds!" The older genin ran at blinding speed as he thrust his left hand towards the target while the cries of a thousand birds were heard throughout the woods, the impact scaring a few real birds away that hurriedly flew away to the orange heavens crying out loud. Naruto's eyes widened in awe as the raven charged against the rock, and he had to bite his tongue as he almost yelled to his friend to watch out. The lightning faded and the cries stopped just an instant before Sasuke's hand hit the rock. The young ninja let out a muffled groan of pain as he clenched his teeth and shut his eyes in agony; he clasped his sore hand and looked at it with angry obsidian eyes. He then let out a frustrated growl. "Damn, I was so close...I need more chakra training..." (Even more? Ò.Ó!) The raven sat down for a while to catch his breath as Naruto let out his -which he hadn't known he'd been holding- and the older genin crossed his legs on the floor and made a seal with both hands focusing on his chakra as he meditated deeply, his face relaxing a little, except for the determined frown that still grazed his flushed features.
The Uchiha looked like he had been training really hard; surely he'd been at it for hours, as always. One thing Sasuke had in common with Naruto was his determination, when he set his mind on something, he never gave up until he achieved it. Naruto had to admit that Sasuke trained even harder than him, though not as recklessly. Sasuke rarely collapsed in the middle of his training, though it did happen.
He was all sweaty and dirty and was still panting slightly. Finally after what seemed an eternity to Naruto, the older nin got up and started hitting a nearby tree in an attempt to keep training. He looked like he was about to collapse, (though you never know with Sasuke) his knees wobbled every now and then as he leaned against the tree for support. Surprisingly Naruto decided not to show himself but to watch for a while and then attack Sasuke from behind, this was Sasuke after all. He stared in awe, as Sasuke kept training despite his condition, he looked so fragile...No! No! No! What am I thinking? This is Sasuke! He's not fragile; he's a complete bastard! Now's not the time to be thinking about that...let's start with the plan. ÒwÓ He hid in the bushes and suppressed his chakra as best as he could so Sasuke wouldn't feel his presence. When he was close enough, Naruto started making the hand signs and started the sleeping genjutsu. "Demonic Technique: Overtaking Nightmare Jutsu!"
Tired as he was, Sasuke did not notice the genjutsu nor fight against it and fell fast asleep, gladly welcoming the darkness and the much-needed rest. His eyes became sleepy and dull, and he let out a yawn before rubbing his tired eyes wondering what was going on. Finally he let out a moan as he collapsed to the ground with a soft 'thud', his features completely relaxed and his breathing even as he fell into a deep slumber.
Quickly Naruto got out of his pouch a little syringe containing the powerful potion and injected it in Sasuke's arm. When the he was sure the whole liquid had been injected into his teammate's system he withdrew the syringe and picked Sasuke up. He carried Sasuke back home through the now dark streets of Konoha and towards the Uchiha compound. He entered the main building and went upstairs entering Sasuke's room and lay his sleeping form on his bed making sure not to wake him up. Naruto had been here before that time when their hands had been stuck together. Sasuke had refused to let the blond sleep in his house, but he hadn't been keen on wearing Naruto's 'dirty' PJ's so they'd gone first to Sasuke's house for some clothes ("Don't touch anything idiot!"). The Uchiha's home was amazingly huge though Naruto hadn't been allowed to admire its splendor as he'd been pulled through the whole building. Naruto snickered playfully at Sasuke's frail form as it slept obliviously and threw himself to the ground hiding behind the bed as Sasuke mumbled something in his sleep. "That was close, I thought he had woken up...how long does this illusion work anyway?" The blond made his way outside of Sasuke's room and decided to wander around for a while, but soon his stomach growled hungrily (he did miss his lunch) and he had to go back to his own home.
He strolled through Konoha's streets absent-mindedly as his thought wandered to a certain raven and his revenge. A mischievous smile made its way to his face as his eyes shone playfully. This is going to be great! Naruto Uzumaki, you're a complete genious! The sun had already set and the crickets sang enthusiastically as he walked across the small bridge in his way home. The street lamps soon illuminated the darkened and empty alleys and Naruto's stomach growled again. The genin started walking faster and it was not long before he arrived home.
He ate some ramen to celebrate the beginning of his revenge and went to sleep, which was really hard due to his eagerness, but was soon dreaming of ugly crows and a hideous fire breathing lizard and how he'd save Sakura from them. Oh yes, this was definitely Naruto's best prank ever.
I didn't like how the chapter ended, but I'm not at my 100%, I guess. Please tell me what you think. Reviews are adored.
BTW I'm not a native English speaker. =w=
