It was another bright and peaceful day in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The day was just starting and families were waking up, getting ready for the day. In one particular household, things were things were normal, beginning the way they do every day.
"SHIKAKU! GET YOUR SORRY ASS OUT OF BED!"
Kanoko walked in the class doors behind her brother. She walked to the same seat as the day before, hoping to see the pink haired girl to apologize to, for her behavior yesterday. "My actions were unbecoming and unacceptable. I must take responsibility for my actions." She thought, sitting down.
As she watched the door for her, she noticed it was the Uzumaki she got in a fight with. "That's right. I will need to apologize to him as well." She thought watching him make his way to the seat in front of her. Their eyes met before he sat down, but not directly in front of her – just off to the side. He had a blank stare, before turning around and sitting down, but not before Kanoko caught the tail end of a devious smirk.
Kanoko narrowed her eyes in suspicion and asked herself, "What is he up to?"
"Uzumaki. I wanted to-" She didn't get to finish as Iruka-sensei called the class to order.
"Ok class! In front of each of you is a pencil and paper! Now this piece of paper is very important. This is your registration form as a ninja, so take your time before filling it out. No second chances!" He finished before motioning the class to start.
Kanoko looked down at her pencil. There was some sort of odd grip on it. She had seen a few of them in stores, but never used one. Some of these new inventions still got the better of her somedays. Pushing that aside, she grabbed the pencil and moved it to the paper. Once the pencil hit the paper, the pencil snapped in half where the grip was and black ink sprayed out all over her and her paper.
"What the hell?!" Kanoko thought trying to rub the ink off of her, only making it worse.
Looking at her ruined paper, she picked it up and started walking to Iruka-sensei.
"Sensei, my pencil, in absent of a better word, exploded, and my pap-" Kanoko didn't get to finished her statement as she tripped over an invisible wire and went down hard; face first.
"Nara-san! Are you ok?" Iruka-sensei asked running over to Kanoko. He helped her off of the ground, while she stared at wire, noting where it was coming from.
"That little brat!" She thought in simmering anger. She looked over at Naruto. His eyes were shaped as upside-down crescent moons and he had his hand over his mouth.
"Nara-san. Do you know wh-" Iruka-sensei started before Kanoko interrupted him with a pointed look and replied, "My paper is ruined, may I please have another one?"
Iruka-sensei just stared, bewildered at Kanoko's statement before say, "Uh, sure. Just one moment."
After taking the new form from Iruka-sensei, Kanoko went back to her seat, but not before acquiring another pencil.
She sat down, monitoring Naruto for any other… surprises.
"I refuse to be bested by a child."
A few hours, Iruka-sensei left the class for a small break. Some of the children left to roam the halls or go outside, but Kanoko stayed at her desk. She didn't feel like moving and reasoned it was due to her genes – she wished she was born to a more motivated clan.
Naruto also hadn't moved, but had long sense put his head down and took a nap. Kanoko wasn't too worried about any other possible pranks, as she now knew of the possibility and was keeping a sharp watch of her surroundings.
Her gaze drifted to the person in front of her. It was an Inuzuka, from what she gathered. He was also sleeping with his head down.
"Nara-san?"
Kanoko looked to her left. Before her, standing, was the pink haired girl again. Kanoko had passed a note to her, while in class, stating that she would like to talk to her.
"Ah, hai. I wanted to apologize… Ano, I don't know your name…" Kanoko said in a bland tone, look up at her.
"Oh! My name is Haruno Sakura!" She said with a timid smile.
"Anyways. Sakura, I wanted to apologize. I was upset at something else and I scared you with my actions. I assure you that-"
"THAT'S IT!" Was the only warning Kanoko got, before being socked in the face and then tackled roughly by the Inuzuka boy.
Let's back up a bit. What Kanoko missed when she was talking to Sakura, was Naruto slapping the Inuzuka from behind, before quickly putting his head down – leading the boy to believe the person behind him had hit him. AKA Kanoko.
Naruto did this three times, each time getting worse, until the Inuzuka kid couldn't take it anymore and decided to get his revenge. Against Kanoko.
After getting over the shock and some of the pain of getting hit, Kanoko started to fight the boy that was on top of her. She elbowed him roughly, yelling, "Get off me you filthy mutt!"
After pushing him off and getting up, she yelled, "What the hell's your problem?! Do you not have any sense of decency?! Or do you only know how to sit, fetch, and play dead?!"
"Stop comparing me to a dog, bitch! You're the one that attacked me first!" He barked, getting onto his feet.
"I did no such thing!" Kanoko spat back.
"Did too!"
"I did not!"
"Did too!"
"I will not stand here and argue about actions that I did not take! Now walk away, while I still afford you the opportunity!" Kanoko loudly commanded.
After growling at each other for a time, the boy stomped away, while Kanoko fixed her chair and sat back down.
"What in the world is wrong with the children these days?!" Kanoko thought, glaring at the class before her. Sakura must have been scared off by the fight, as she was no longer anywhere to be seen.
Just as Kanoko started to calm down, she spotted a laughing blonde, out of the corner of her eye.
"Uzumaki…" She thought with a growl. "This is his doing!"
She continue to glare daggers at Naruto until Iruka-sensei came back in and started class again.
"You're safe right now Uzumaki, but just you wait."
Kanoko took extra precautions making her way through the classroom and out the door once class finished. Thankfully there were no kunoichi classes today, so she could head straight home – to plan.
She had just made it outside when her brother caught up to her. He caught her off guard by placing his hand on her shoulder from behind. As a result, he went airborne over her shoulder. When he landed on his back, he looked up at his sister without moving and asked in a bored voice, "What's your problem?"
She simply stared at him for a second before twisting her head back and forth, observing her surroundings with a small about of paranoia.
She turn back at her brother and mutter, "Nothing. Now get up. We're going home."
And with that, she walked around her brother and towards her clan's compound.
She only made it a few steps.
Before failing 20 feet down a ditch.
"How the five nations l did I fall for that?! And HOW DID NO ONE ELSE FALL IN THIS HOLE?!"
"Ahhhhhh Hahahahaha! Haha! HAHAAHA! You totally fell for it! Literally! You FELL FOR IT! HAHAHAHA!"
All Kanoko could see was the outline of person with spiky hair. Three guesses on who it was.
Fucking. Uzumaki. Naruto.
Naruto then ran off laughing, not wanted to stick around for the consequences.

"Hey sis. Looks like you've dug yourself into a hole."

"I hate you."
