Chapter 4

The next day we headed to the training grounds. When we got there we saw an angry team seven with a missing Kakashi.

"Five bucks says they're mad because Kakashi is late again." I say. Alasia laughs.

"Damn it! He is late again!"

"Dobe you know he is always late."

"SHUT UP TEME!"

"Naruto stop yelling at Sasuke."

Alasia and I can't help but laugh. When we did, they all turned their heads towards us.

"Joe, Alasia!" Naruto waved at us with one of his goofy grins on his face.

I gave that goofy grin back with and with just as much energy said "Hey Naruto, Saukra, and Duckbutt! " The three of them looked at me like I had a third arm. Alasia looks at me "Did you just call Sasuke, Duckbutt?" She laughed "Oh Joe"

Because of my new nickname for Sasuke, Naruto started laughing too.

Naruto gave me a high five. "Duckbutt! She called you Duckbutt! Hahahaha I knew your hair reminded me of something!" He was pointing his finger at said boy and had one hand over his stomach.

Sakura hit him on the head. "Idiot! Stop laughing, it's rude!"

Sasuke gave that infamous Uchiha glare. "First of all that's not my name so don't call me that." Now facing Naruto he said "Secondly, Moron you shouldn't be laughing because your hair is just a big blond, spiky mess." He said with an icy tone.

"TEME! Why I oughta-"

Alasia covered Naruto's mouth "Aw Sasuke Don't be like that. She was just having fun" Alasia added. I could see that she was trying to hold in a laugh.

Sasuke glared at me and said "I don't like you. You remind me of an older version of someone who gets on my nerves."

I give him an evil grin. With my hands at my hips I bend down slightly so we are I to eye. "You mean your secret crush with, what was it, 'whose hair is a big blond, spiky mess"

At that point a few things happened. One Alasia just busted out lauging, two Sasuke activated his sharingan, and three Kakashi came.

"Alright that's enough. Joe, Alasia. You guys shouldn't be provoking my students."

"hahaha Sorry Kakashi." We said together. "Just talking about nicknames and the *cough* secret *cough* bonds Sasuke and Naruto share." I added.

Kakashi looked at us with one eyebrow raise. (well you know the one we can see)

"Um, Sensei why are you late?" Sakura looked curious but skeptical.

"I got lost on the pathway of life." Kakashi stated. Naruto looked annoyed, Sakura facepamled, and Sasuke just sighed. Alasia and I just grinned.

"I had a feeling he would say that." I whispered to Alasia.

"Yeah me too."

Looking at us, Kakashi said "Okay for today's training we will figure out just what you can do. Alasia you will fight Sasuke. Joe you will fight Naruto."

"Aw I want to fight Duckbutt!" I want to give him a piece of my mind for what he has done . . . or should I say will do . . . whatever.

"Sorry I get first dibbs."

"Man why does everyone want to fight Sasuke!" Naruto looked angry. He had his arms crossed and had a pouty face. I leaned in close to Naruto ear and whispered, "don't worry, we only want to fight him to beat him up" Naruto looked at me with a grin. I winked back.

"What did you tell him?" Alasia asked.

"Just told him that there is a line to give Sasuke a good beat down." Alasia gives me an evil grin.

"Kakashi what about me?" Haha looks like Sakura won't be fighting. Not like she can.

"I want you to help me see how strong they are." Kakashi smiled at her.

"That was just an excuse." Alasia whispered.

"I know, right."

"Okay first is Joe vs. Naruto"

"Alright I will prove to you that I am best! Believe it!"

"Bring it Naruto!" He's so cute! He would be an awesome little brother!

"Ready. . . GO!" Kakashi signaled us to begin.

Naruto made some shadow clones and came charging. Just then I realized that I have never fought in one lousy fight back home and I certainly didn't fight here yet. All I know -thanks to our little training adventure last night- is how to climb trees. Looks like I've got to know the saying 'monkey see monkey do'.

"Shadow clone jutsu!" So I did the same thing as him. Luckily I made solid clones just like he did. While the clones were fighting (more like my clones pinning Naruto's clones to the ground and sitting on them for fun) I looked for the real Naruto. I noticed that I could sense the real one, almost as if I could see him. It was like the real one had a certain glow. That's weird.

When I spotted him, he was in the back of the group. I charged after him. Before he could blink I had focused my charkra in my leg and kicked him in the gut. He went flying back into a tree. The tree broke in half from the force. Sweet! Looks like fighting comes naturally here.

"Nice Joe!" I gave Alasia a thumbs up with a big smile a.k.a the 'good guy pose'.

"hahaha looks like I beat him at his own game." I go over to help Naruto up. When I looked at him, I noticed he didn't have that glow anymore. I decided to push what happened to the back of my mind for later. That's when I saw he had a look of disappointment on his face. I, the big softy that I am, crumble at the look on his face

"Don't worry; you will be one of the most powerful ninja in the world one day!"

"Really?" His face brightened up "Wait. . . how do you know?"

"Uuuuuhhhhh. . . I just know" I gave him a wink. I offered my hand to him and he took it. I pulled him up then we walked back over to the group.

"Alright next up is Alasia vs. Sasuke." Kakashi called out.

"Good luck Alasia. Kick his butt for me!"

"No problem Joe." I gave her a high five. This is going to be good.

Sasuke just stood there with his hands in his pockets. Cheeky kid. Alasia had a grin on her face, an evil grin. I like it!

Then, it became a stair down. Alasia and Sasuke were sizing each other up. Both were at the ready to make a move. Then all of a sudden Sasuke runs toward Alasia at the same time throwing Kunai at her. Alasia pulls the matrix move and doges all of them. She then flipped backwards, pick one of the kunai off the ground and before anyone could blink, pinned Sasuke to the ground with the kunai at his throat. Just for a brief second I could see a glow in her eyes. What was that?

"Not so great now, are we. I guess you should have used that sharingan of yours instead of underestimating me. Hmmmmm?"

"HECK YEAH! You rock Alasia!" I was on the side doing my happy dance. Naruto and Sakura both looked surprised. I guess they didn't think he would be beaten so quickly.

"Well it looks like you guys have the basics down. I'm impressed."

"Thanks Kakashi!" We said together.

"You wouldn't have by any chance snuck out last night and did some training, right?" We laugh nervously. Before the conversation was finished, Naruto interrupted.

"That was AWESOME! You were so fast! You had Sasuke so scared! HA!" Naruto was practically jumping up and down.

"Dobe you got beaten worse than I did. I didn't go flying just from one kick. Besides I wasn't scared."

"Shut up Teme! You so were! You looked like you were going to pee your pants when she had the kunai against your neck!"

"Be quiet, dead last shouldn't judge others."

"SHUT UP! YOU STUPID NO GOOD SON OF A B-"

"GET A ROOM!" Alasia and I both yelled at the same time. Everyone looked at us with confused looks.

"Seriously, you guys are just as bad as a married couple!" I told them while pointing my finger at them.

"Poor Sakura shouldn't see that. She is too young and innocent!" Alasia said while covering Sakura's eyes. I swear I heard Kakashi muffle a laugh.

The look on Sasuke's and Naruto's faces was priceless. It was of pure horror. All we could do was laugh. We fell to the ground laughing. Then Kakashi started talking.

"I think we should get some lunch." Team seven just nodded. We continued to laugh all the way to the town.

Well here is chapter 4! Sorry the fight scenes were short but I didn't want to concentrate on the fighting just yet. I hope you liked it!
