It was late in the fourth quarter the ninja were up by 5 points. It was a very close game. With the time ticking down they had to make one last stop on defense to win. It had pouring rain all day they were playing in mud soup. It was 4th in goal on the 9 yard line with 6 seconds left in the game. The Lumberjack's run a toss to the right.
Naruto went in to make tackle at the 3 yard to end the game when his foot slipped and he fell on the ground as the running back ran in for the touchdown to win them the game.
All the Ninjas were stunned that was there first loss. No body said anything it was like the air was sucked out of the room.
Over the next week they were just going threw the motions and that showed the very next week with another loss 42 to 20.
Kakashi realised that his team was good and they can win but they dont know how lose. He needed to spark his team.
So the day for there next game he pulled them a side and he spoke.
"The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart. A loss of heart I thought you guys loved the game. But maybe I'm wrong because I do not see you guy's playing with heart. You have to search with in yourself and find your passion again. Because with out it just quite now and stop wasting your time.
So today I want you all to self reflect on why you love the game. Why do you want to play this game. Meet up and speak to each other about your selves. You guys came together over the summer and in two losses you barely speaking to each other. This game is about many things but it all comes down to teamwork and heart.
Without it this game is nothing. With out it this team is nothing. With out it you are nothing."
Then he and the other coaches left. So the kids can talk to each other.
Naruto was the first to stand up and speak.
"Guys I want to say Im sorry it my fault we lost that first game and it messed me up and I played like shit last week. But that's past it's time we remember who we are" Naruto said.
The next night the Ninjas were sitting in the locker room. When Kakashi came in and stood in the middle of everybody.
"So who are you. ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY WITH HEART. TELL ME WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?" Kakashi yelled.
Everyone just erupted in cheer.
"WHO ARE WE" Sasuke yelled.
"NINJA" everyone yell together.
They then ran out to the field. The Ninja got the ball first. The Flyers kicked the ball off to Neji.
He run to to the right and cut to the left with one guy left to beat when Sasuke hit him with a crack back block to spring Neji for the touch down.
The Ninja kicked the ball back to the Flyers as there returner took the ball up the field Kiba and Shino crushed him. He fumbled the ball was picked up by Sasuke and returned for a touch down.
After the Flyers went 3 and out on there drive were the receivers took some big hits. The Ninja had the ball on the own 45 yard line.
Naruto got everyone to the line. He hiked the ball on two and tossed it to Neji going to the left. When before he crossed the line of scrimmage he stopped and tossed it down the field to Lee who was wide open for the touchdown.
Later on in the 3rd quarter Naruto hikes the ball on the 2. He steps back and throws a 5 yard slant to Lee who spins away from one guys. He then stiff armed another and took off for another touchdown.
The Ninjas finished the game 63 to 0. After the game the 5 couples decided to have a cook out after the game.
Everyone was sitting down enjoying the cheeseburgers and hotdogs that they cooked. When Sasuke's older brother walked out into the backyard.
"Hell of a game you guys played especially you Sasuke." he looked around the table. " I'm sorry I don't think we have all met. I'm Itachi Uchiha and you are"
"Neji Huuga sir I play running back and linebacker incase you were wondering" he said.
