CH.3.3:Closer II
A Typical Lunchtime at Konoha Academy (Guys' Version):
"Move over Kiba you stole my spot," shouted Naruto from behind him.
"It's not your spot Naruto, it's not like it has you name on it or something," replied Kiba.
"As a matter of fact it does, but you can't see it because your big fat ass is on it," answered Naruto.
"I don't have a fat ass and there is no way your name is on it," as he stood up to prove him wrong. Kiba looked down and Naruto's name was clearly printed. "Oh, your name is here. Okay you win this time Naruto, but you won't be so lucky next time."
"Just shut your trap and hurry up and move," said Naruto. Kiba because of his dog like nature did what he was told and went to sit next to Shino who was on the other side of the table. "Thank you." Naruto sat down in his spot which was in between Sasuke and Sai.
"I thought I finally got rid of you for once," said Sasuke looking away from Neji to (who he sat next to and was conversing with) glimpsing over at Naruto.
"Nope and it's never gonna happen, besides this spot is in the center of all my best buds," said Naruto. "So is face all better now Sai?"
"Yes, thanks to Ino-chan,"replied Sai with a fake smile.
"What happened to Sai's face?" asked Shikamaru on the other side of Sai.
"Let's just say Sakura-chan," answered Naruto.
"Figures," replied Shikamaru.
Choji then arrived at the table. "Make some room boys, here I come," announced Choji with a tray overflowing with food.
'Oh dear,' thought all the guys on that side of the table. When Choji sat down all the boys slid down a spot making the guy on the other end fall on the ground.
"Sorry about that I didn't mean to push you guys around," said Choji with a laugh as he scooted over to make room. The guy that fell stood up, patted himself and sat back down a little frustrated.
Naruto had just opened his lunchbox. "No! Why?" exclaimed Naruto. Everybody turned to look at him.
"What are you crying about now Dobe?" asked Sasuke.
"Ma*sniff*No*sniff*Pa*sniff*Ramen," muttered Naruto with tears running down his cheeks, he held a note in one hand and pointed at it with his other.
"Speak clearly I can't understand you gibberish," stated Sasuke. 'The note will probably tell me what's going on,' thought Sasuke. Sasuke then swiped the note from Naruto saying: "Gimme that!"
The note read:
Enough's enough Sweetie !I know you LOVE Ramen but too much is not good for your health. So I replaced that junk with one of my delicious and nutritious home cooked meals. I kept it under strict surveillance just to make sure your father didn't swap it with Ramen AGAIN and ate it himself. I know you might feel sad or angry at this moment, but it's for you own GOOD! PLEASE eat it I assure you, you will like it because I especially made it for you with all my motherly LOVE. If you don't wanna eat it just think about all the starving children that would ADORE to have this FABULOUS meal (So it better be EATEN or I'll KILL you). Remember Mommy LOVES you very much!
xoXOXox
P.s: Flip over to read what your father has to say.
Sasuke flipped it.
The other side read:
My son your mother is ABSOULUTLY correct. Naruto I have tell you that my days of swapping your lunch are over. I only stole your real lunch because I LOVE your mother's cooking. So please listen to your mother son and accept this delectable meal (which I wish to be savoring for myself).
Truly your # 1 dad!
'That's definitely Mrs. Uzumaki and Mr. Namikaze,' thought Sasuke. "So what Naruto. Your mom packed you a healthy lunch instead of Ramen it's not like your gonna die," stated Sasuke.
"But I am," said Naruto with his head on the table. Sasuke let go of the note and it fluttered right on to Naruto's face.
"If you want Ramen so badly then why don't you go buy some?" suggested Sasuke.
"I don't have any money!" cried Naruto.
"You know very well that no one at this table is going to lean you money so just be quiet and enjoy your lunch," said Sasuke. Sasuke then opened his own lunch, but quickly closed it again. "Damn!" he said under his breath.
"What's wrong?" asked Naruto lifting up his head.
"Nothing, none of your business," replied Sasuke.
"Did mommy not pack your lunch?" taunted Naruto.
"Shut up! That's not it at all," answered Sasuke.
"What is it then?" questioned Naruto.
"I accidentally grabbed Itachi's lunch instead of mine," he said quietly.
"What's the big deal isn't it the same thing?" asked Naruto.
"Not exactly. You know how me and Itachi-nii have different preferences? Well, our food choice is very distinct, and that's the problem," said Sasuke opening the box to show Naruto. "Itachi's got a sweeter tooth then I do."
Naruto began to drool. 'Mouthwatering sweets and made by the best cook ever Mrs. Uchiha,' thought Naruto. "Hey Teme, I have a proposition for you. I can clearly see that you don't want your lunch and neither do I, so how about we-" Naruto got interrupted.
"No, not a chance," said Sasuke rashly.
"You didn't even let me finish," complained Naruto.
"I know exactly what you want. You want me to trade lunches with you and my answer is no!" said Sasuke.
"Why not?" asked Naruto.
"Because I'm waiting for Itachi-nii-san to come from where he is right now to give me my lunch," replied Sasuke. At that moment his pocket vibrated it was his phone. He opened it to read the text he had just received.
The Message Read:
Hey little bro how's it going? I have to tell you something, I accidentally got your lunch...the thing is...I didn't notice until I finish it and read the note ^-^; ha-ha. I am truly sorry about that! It's okay if you eat my lunch to make up for yours .
(^/.|^) Weasel out!
'He ate my lunch already! Thanks a lot Itachi!' thought Sasuke. "Here have it before I change my mind," said Sasuke handing Naruto his box.
"Thanks," said Naruto grabbing it and slid his lunch to Sasuke.
Sasuke opened the box and thought: 'Yum, Mrs. Uzumaki's home cooking.'
Naruto rubbed his hands together. 'Yes, I will finally get to sink my teeth into some delicious treats,' thought Naruto just as he was going to take the first bite. He was only millimeters away, his tongue could almost savor it when all of a sudden something hit him on the side of the head. He moved his hand to feel the object that had struck him and was still stuck on his face. The object was solid, squishy and wet, it was food that made Naruto angry. "Who threw this at me?" asked Naruto as he wiped it off his face. "It was you Kiba wasn't it?" Naruto then threw the food he got off his face in Kiba's direction, but it accidentally ended up hitting Shino instead.
"It wasn't me you idiot!" shouted Kiba. "It's a good thing your lame attack missed me anyway."
"Of course it was you Kiba who else would it be? You were the one who was jealous because you couldn't have my seat," replied Naruto.
"It may not matter to the both of you that I got hit, but it does matter to me," said Shino.
'Oh, great we're gonna get another one of his speeches,' thought both Naruto and Kiba.
"I wouldn't let this event go unpunished," said Shino.
'What's the worse he can do? Throw big words around? I'm not scared,' thought Naruto.
Shino then did the unexpected he chucked a rice ball at Naruto.
"Yikes!" said Naruto as he ducked his head in time to dodge it. The rice ball hit Sai.
'What am I suppose to do this?' thought Sai as he held the launched rice ball. 'I'll just do what everybody else is doing and throw it back.'
The aim was miscalculated once more, this time it hit Kankuro. As Kankuro threw back the back the ball, someone yelled: "Food fight!" Food began to fly and to fling everywhere.
Gaara was smart and didn't involve himself in the fight instead he secured himself in his sand dome.
"No fair Gaara's completely unaffected because of your ultimate defense," said Kankuro.
Gaara did not reply he only enjoyed his lunch peacefully as he observed what occurred outside with his third eye.
The fight continued for awhile until Sasuke and Neji simultaneously got hit.
"Enough!" they both shouted as they stood up and slammed their hand hard on the table top to get the attention of the others. "Can't we for once eat in peace!"
"Now you guys better stop this fight now before the Akatsuki interfere," said Sasuke.
"You better instantly clean up this mess you made or we'll all eat our next lunch in detention," said Neji.
"It's such a drag, but their right," said Shikamaru.
"I'm glad you understand," said Neji.
Sasuke and Neji then picked up their lunches and began to walk away.
"Hey, where are you guys going?" asked Naruto.
"Somewhere where we can eat our lunch it peace," said Neji without turning his head.
"Is there a problem with that, Dobe?" stated Sasuke as he turned his head just enough to where Naruto could see his glaring eye.
"No," gulped Naruto.
"Very good then we'll leave," said Neji walking further away Sasuke along with him.
"Those two really have a stick shoved up their butt," said Naruto with one hand perpendicular to his cheek.
"What did you say?" asked the two demon like figures behind him.
'I sure opened my big mouth this time,' thought Naruto. Naruto turned around and began to wave his hands back and forth. "I was just kidding you guys!"
"It wasn't a very funny joke,"said Neji.
Sasuke and Neji then began to whispered to each other and after a moment they grabbed a hold of Naruto and began to drag him away.
"Wait guys where are you taking me?" asked Naruto they did not respond. 'Great I didn't even get a bite of my lunch and now I'm gonna get killed by these two psychos,' thought Naruto with tears once again running down his cheeks.
"This is good enough," said Sasuke in the middle of the soccer field.
"Confirmed," replied Neji.
"What are you gonna do to me?" asked Naruto.
"You'll find out soon enough," stated both Neji and Sasuke as they let go of Naruto which made him fall to the ground.
"Get up and you will get what you deserve," said Sasuke.
'Surely they are gonna decapitate me with their taijutsu or destroy me with one of their special ninjutsu's or what is worse they're gonna kill me with a combo attack,' thought Naruto. Naruto did as Sasuke commanded and stood up, as he did something came falling from the sky at an eminence speed and it hit him on the head. The impact knocked Naruto unconscious. The object that had knocked him down was a mere soccer ball.
Neji and Sasuke gave each other a high five.
"Knocked out with only using my Byakugan," said Neji.
"And my Sharingan," added Sasuke.
Naruto had not noticed that they had used their eye powers to calculate the position of where the ball was going to land.
A group of guys came running. "Hey, dudes can we have our soccer ball back?" asked one of the three.
"Sure," said Neji. Sasuke handed Neji his lunch as he went to pick up the ball. Sasuke then let go of the ball and kicked it in the direction of the owners yet the force he put in the ball was to much and it went right pass the three boys.
"Not again," complained the group as they ran off.
"Thanks a lot," stated the leader sarcastically following his crew.
"No wonder you were appointed a the captain of our soccer team," said Neji handing Sasuke his lunch back. "You sent that ball flying without using an ounce of your true strength."
Sasuke grab the box and sat down. "I was only chosen to be captain because of my skill and not because of my knowledge of the game like it should be," said Sasuke grabbing the chopsticks.
"Well, that's true but your very complete in both anyway," said Neji sitting down next to him.
"If it was truly based on skill as a captain I'm sure you would have gotten the position," said Sasuke beginning to eat his meal.
"No, you won the rank fair and square I was not able to compete with your ability," stated Neji. "Besides I am better suited to be a basketball captain in any case." Neji also began to eat.
"There is no argument there," said Sasuke. "Changing the subject now how long do you think it'll be until he wakes up." Sasuke turned his head over to Naruto.
"I'd say a not long, yet that ball did hit him harder than I imagined," said Neji. "But we did use two of the three great optical techniques to pinpoint exactly were we wanted the ball to hit him, so it's not a big surprise that he's still out cold."
"Yeah, that's true," replied Sasuke. " Can you imagine the things we could do if we had all three of visual powers? Now that would be the most perfect and unstoppable technique."
"Just thinking about it is frightening," said Neji. "But I'm sure that the only known Rinnegan would never use his power along with us after knowing that we torment his cousin with our power."
"I guess so," said Sasuke with a chuckle.
_
Naruto began to regain conscientiousness. "What happened to me?" Naruto asked himself as he sat up. "Why does my head hurt so much?" Naruto put his hand to his head.
Sasuke and Neji turned to look at the at the confused Naruto. "Ah! It's you two," said Naruto pointing at them as his eyes grew big and white.
"Yeah, it's us so what?" asked Sasuke.
"You did this to me didn't you?" accused Naruto. "You beat me up!"
"Actually we didn't even lay a finger on you," replied Neji.
"Then what's your explanation for my head hurting so much," said Naruto.
"Soccer ball," was all Sasuke said.
"You really expect me to believe that a soccer ball did this to me?" asked Naruto as he stood up.
"Yeah," replied both Neji and Sasuke.
"Well I'll prove that a soccer ball," was all said before a soccer ball once more came out of nowhere and hit him. "Really did hit my head." Naruto collapsed again.
Neji and Sasuke smiled at the sight then continued eating the rest of their lunch.
When Naruto finally woke up again Neji and Sasuke were gone. Naruto got up and went back to the lunch table. There was nobody at the table when he got their but to his surprise his lunch still was or so he thought. He flung the lid of box open with excitement, but once he saw inside it, disappointment ran through his face. The box was empty without even a crumb left.
'Choji!' thought Naruto. 'I'm sure he was the one that ate it. I saw him eyeballing it earlier.' Naruto stomach then grumbled. "I am starving!" shouted Naruto. "But I guess there is no point sticking around here anymore, since no one's here and class will be starting soon." Naruto began walking toward the building. 'I am sure I can handle my hunger til the end of school.' thought Naruto enthusiastically. Naruto's stomach roared again. "Or maybe I'll just end up dying of hunger," thought Naruto aloud as he clenched his stomach and walked faster hoping that he would make it to class before breaking down.
End of Boys' Version.
