3: Sasuke and Sakura – Friends or Foes!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
...My Line...
Standing on the branch of a tree next to a condo like apartment while looking into the window of one of the said condos and into the kitchen was Tobi…I mean, a masked Obito Uchiha. He was watching as the Senju Princess finishing up with packing the Jinchuuriki's and her own lunches before turning her attention to their breakfast. The believed to be dead Uchiha wanted to get know his target's habit and routine, so that when the time comes he can use it against her and thus get to the Kyuubi in the Uzumaki. However, he had to admit even if only to himself that she was cute maybe even more then Rin Nohara had been.
...My Line...
"NARUTO!" the greenette called out as she walked to the doorway of the kitchen. "BREAKFAST IS READY! SO, TIME TO WAKE UP!"
The Miran was dressed in a mid-thigh length, sleeveless, firm fitting, outlined in white, purple kimono held closed by an dark brown obi, and mid-lower arm length, outlined in white, purple metal bracers that stops at her first knuckles over a wrist to elbow length, tight, blue arm sleeves. She was also wearing a pair of upper-thigh length, firm fitting, dark green biker shorts. A symbolized leaf carved onto a metal plate that is sown onto a garnet colored cloth that is tied around her forehead.
"I'm already awake," Naruto said as he walked into the kitchen.
Raika turned to the blonde and handed him the plate of 5 pieces of bacon, 5 pieces of sausages, a large helping of hashbrowns and scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of toast, milk, orange juice, and a bowl of strawberries mixed with blueberries and blackberries.
"Eat up," she told him. "And once you're done then placed your used dishes into the sink." The hidden Senju then handed over his packed lunch in front of him. "Here is your lunch."
She then walked out of the kitchen.
…My Line…
"I'm going to leave now!" the greenette called out as she sat down in front of the door and put on a pair of an opened toed, 2" heeled, knee length, gray ninja boots. "So, I'll see ou at the academy!"
"Okay!" he called out.
Raika then stood up and ran out of the door for the Academy.
...My Line...
After he had finished eating and the triplets having been picked up, Naruto could be found walking towards the Ninja Academy when Konohamaru jumped out in front of him.
"Your mine now, Naruto!" the young Sarutobi yelled as he goes to attack only he tripped over the sheet he used to hide under.
"Huh...what are you doing, Konohamaru?"
"That was a slink move," the kid said. "That's why I respect you as a rival."
"But, I didn't do anything," the blonde deadpan.
"Alright, now fight me fair and square."
"Sorry, but I've got orientation," the male Uzumaki informed him.
"Orientation?" Konohamaru asked.
"Yeah, that's right," the 12-year-old answered. "As of today, I'm a ninja, ya know."
He pointed to his forehead protector with a smile making the 7-year-old to gasp.
...My Line...
It was then that Sakura Haruno was seen as she was getting ready for the day. Once she put her forehead protector on to use it as a headband, the pinkette winked at her reflection in the mirror.
"Sakura!" a woman was heard calling out. "Isn't it time for you to get going?"
"I know!" Sakura called back. "I'm on my way out now!"
"CHA!" Inner Sakura yelled. "How long are you going to treat me like a kid? I'm a Ninja now!"
...My Line...
'So, I'm not a little Academy Student anymore,' the pinkette thought. 'I'm Sakura Haruno, Kunoichi in Training.'
"See you later!" a female called out as a platinum blonde hair and pale blue eyed girl walked out of a flower shop before she noticed the Haruno. "Good Morning, Sakura."
"Good Morning, Ino," the pinkette greeted.
"So they actually let you graduate?" Ino Yamanaka asked. "What a surprise."
"Those classes are ancient history now," Sakura stated. "We're both Ninja now and we're both equal. I won't lose to you anymore."
The two girls then started to walk faster to try and outdo each other and that walking turned into running.
...My Line...
"What are you doing here Naruto?" a boy asked when he noticed the blonde. "This isn't for dropouts. You can't be here unless your graduated."
"What?" Naruto asked looking confused. "Who told you that I didn't pass?"
"Everyone is saying that you didn't pass."
"Do you see this?" the blonde asked with annoyance. "Do you see it? Open your eyes Shikamaru, it's a regulation headband. We're going to be training together. How do you like that?"
"Humph," Shikamaru Nara sounded.
"You really shouldn't believe everything that you hear, Shikamaru," Raika stated from her seat behind him. "Naruto graduated with rest of us."
'Naruto, you graduated after all,' Hinata Hyuuga thought as she watched with a smile. 'I'm glad.'
"I see," the Nara sighed.
He then moved to set behind Naruto before he laid his head on his arms, however, a noise in the hallway kept him from falling asleep, so he turned towards the classroom door just to see Sakura and Ino, both of whom were the president and vice-president of the Sasuke Uchiha fan club. {Me: I hate Sakura, so I'll apologize now to all of you Sakura fans for anything I say about her.} They were trying to push past each other to get into the classroom and when they finally got into the class they were at it again.
"I'm first!" they both shouted.
"I win again Sakura," Ino told the pink hair girl.
"Give it up," Sakura told her. "I had to look back to see you. My toe was at least a 10th inch ahead."
"Have you always been this delusional?" Ino asked as Naruto looked back at them.
'Sakura,' he thought with a blush as the pinkette looked over to where Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha sat. 'She's smiling at me. I think she likes me in this headband.'
'Naruto, you can do so much better than that pink hair idiot,' the greenette thought as she watched the scene.
"Hey!" Ino called as Sakura ran over to the desk. "Wow! Where are you going?"
Naruto stand up waving at Sakura, who ran right up to the table.
"Hi Sakura," Naruto greeted. "What's up?"
"Move it!" Sakura yelled at him. "Uh. Good morning Sasuke. Mind if I set next you?"
Sasuke looked at her for a bit before looking back up front of the class when Ino walked up.
"Back off forehead," she told Sakura. "I'm sitting next to Sasuke."
"I was here first," Sakura growled.
"I walked into the classroom before you did," Ino told her. "Everybody saw it."
"Dream on," Sakura stated.
Then much to Sasuke's annoyances fangirl after fangirl kept coming up saying they were the first ones here and that they should get to set next to Sasuke
'Clueless,' Sasuke thought.
...My Line...
In a dark room a group of people stood around a desk with a crystal ball on it and an old man setting behind it as they watch the scene.
"Promising new students; Sasuke Uchiha and Raika Miran," one of the people stated. "Is that them?"
"Yes, they're the ones," the old man answered.
"Sasuke is the only survivor of the Uchiha Clan," another pointed out.
"That's right," the Sandaime agreed.
The crystal ball showed them a blond spiky hair boy setting on the floor rubbing his head.
'Naruto Uzumaki, uh?' a silver hair male that has his hitai-ate covering his left eye thought. 'He looks just like Minato-Sensei.'
...My Line...
Sasuke, who had his eyes closed, opened them when the noise that his fan girls made stop to see the blonde Uzumaki glaring at him.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled. "Hey! Stop glaring at Sasuke!"
Naruto looked at Sakura with a pained expression.
'Sakura?' he thought before he then went back to glaring at Sasuke. 'Why are they so obsessed with him? Sasuke, Sasuke. What's the big deal with this guy?'
They glared at each other to the point.
"Let him have it!" the fangirls yelled.
It was at that moment that a boy in front laughed, lend back, and bumped into Naruto making him fall into Sasuke, but what surprised Raika, who found amusement in the scene before her, was the fact that they had locked lips and were kissing.
"What the?" Sakura asked.
"I…Uh?" Ino started, but was speechless.
The Miran watched as the two boys pulled apart gagging with a small smirk appear just as Sakura started to freak out.
"CHA!" Inner Sakura yelled. "This is out rages! I was supposed to be Sasuke's first kiss! Naruto will pay for this! CHA!"
The greenette just continued to watch the scene like a TV show while trying to hold back a laugh though a very Uchiha-like smirk appeared on her face.
"I'll get you, Naruto," Sasuke growled as he gagged.
Naruto had stopped gagging as if Sasuke's threat got through to him, but he froze.
"Danger," he mumbled as he slowly turned around slowly to see the fangirls glaring at him.
"Naruto, your dead," Sakura threatened.
"Hey!" Naruto tried to reason with them. "Wow! It was an accident."
"You're finished," Sakura growled as she cracked her knuckles.
"Hold on?" Naruto asked just as the redhead stood.
"If anyone of you useless fangirls touch a signal hair on his head then I will destroy your looks so thoroughly that you would need a professional facial surgeon just to look slightly normal again, ya know," the hidden Senju growled. "YOU GOT THAT!"
The girls all ran to their seats in fear of the famous Uzumaki temper and they knew that the Miran would carry out her threat, too.
...My Line...
Everyone watching through the crystal ball sweatdropped at that while some laughed nervously as they all remember Yuki Miran and Kushina Uzumaki, who made the same threat to those, who went after their men.
"As usually Naruto's in the middle of some kind of trouble," the Sarutobi stated. "And as usual Raika has to bail him out of it."
...My Line...
"As of today your all ninjas," Iruka told them. "To get here you face difficult trails and hardships, and that's nothing. What comes next well be for more difficult. Now your only Genin; first level ninjas. All Genin well be group into a 3 man squad with one squad of 4. Each squad will be led by a Jonin an elite ninja."
Rin looked at him with an annoyed expression hoping that he was kidding as everyone looked at him shocked.
"Huh?"
'A 3 man squad with one squad of four?' both Sakura and Ino thought.
"Well someone's got to be in Sasuke's group," Ino whispered as the greenette to rolled her eyes. "I wonder who?"
"I don't Know," Sakura answered.
"CHA!" Inner Sakura yelled. "I'm going to be with Sasuke, so stay away from him you hag!"
'Groups of 3 and one of 4,' Sasuke thought, 'that'll only slow me down.'
'I want to be with Sakura along with Raika and…Well, I don't care as long as it's not Sasuke," Naruto thought.
'As long as I'm not annoyed then I'm cool,' the Miran thought.
"We want each group to have balance and ability, so that's how we sat up them up," Iruka told them. "I well now announce the squads."
...My Line...
"Squad 7 is going to be the four man squad..." Iruka went on. "Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno…"
Naruto jumped up with his fist raised in the air in victory.
"Yeah!"
Meanwhile, Sakura hanged her head while mumbling.
"I'm doomed."
"Sasuke Uchiha…"
This time it was Sakura, who yelled with happiness, while Naruto hanged his head.
"And Raika Miran."
"YES!" Naruto cheered.
Raika cackled softly.
"Looks like I will be looking after you yet again," she stated.
The Uzumaki stuck his tongue out at her making the greenette to roll her eyes.
'I won't be with Naruto then,' Hinata thought sadly.
"Next squad 8..." Iruka went on. "Hinata Hyuuga…"
"Yes, sir," a shy/tamed voice called out.
"Kiba Inuzuka…"
"Haha," a boy laughed.
"Shino Aburame…"
Sakura turned around to give Ino a peace sigh while laughing.
"How did you get into his group?" Ino demanded.
"Kashing!" Inner Sakura yelled. "True love cankers all."
The Miran watched on in amusement as Ino growled at Sakura.
"I don't get it," Shikamaru stated. "What do you see in a guy like him? He's not so special."
"Your so be on clueless Shikamaru," Ino told him. "Don't you get it?"
"No I don't get it because I'm not a girl," Shikamaru answered her.
"You're so full of yourself," Ino told him with a sigh. "Jealousy is a terrible thing. I hate to be on your squad."
"Now squad 10...Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara…"
"Ha," he laughed. "Didn't you say something about hating to be on my squad?"
Ino growled at him.
"And Choji Akamichi!"
'Not food boy, too,' Ino thought.
"These are all the squads…"
"Iruka-Sensei!" Naruto yelled as he stood up and pointed at Sasuke. "Why does a great ninja like me have to be in the same squad as a slug like Sasuke?"
"And what about Raika, Sensei?" Sakura asked. "I mean, she's useless, so there's nothing that she could help Sasuke with."
"Your one talk," the greenette growled. "Queen of the Useless."
"Sasuke had one of the best scores out of all the graduating students," Iruka answered. "Naruto, you had the worst score. Sakura, you lack talent in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu while Raika is the Kunoichi of the Year with both up standing grades in the written exam and the ninjutsu exam." The whole class besides Sasuke and Raika laughed at Naruto. "To create a balance we put the best student with the worst student."
"Just make sure you don't get in my way loser," Sasuke told him.
"Hey!" Naruto yelled at Sasuke. "What did you say?!"
"What?" Sasuke asked. "Hard of hearing?"
The class laughed at Naruto again as the hidden Senju rolled her eyes.
"Knock it off Naruto," Sakura ordered. "Set down."
Iruka cleared his throat to get the class's attention.
"After lunch you'll meet your new Jonin teachers. Until then class dismiss."
...My Line...
"Sasuke, where are you?!" Sakura called out as she went looking for him after leaving the Academy. "Why did he go running off, so fast? I thought that since we are finally Ninjas that we could have lunch together and get to know each other."
"Hey, Sakura!" Naruto called out as he walked up. "I thought that since we are ninjas that we could have lunch together and get to know each other."
"Why would I have lunch with you?" the pinkette asked. "How could that thought even cross your mind?"
"We are all ninjas, so I thought that all of us, you know, Raika, you, Sasuke, and I could you know…" he trailed off.
While the Haruno was surprise that he thought of that that didn't mean that she wanted to eat with the Miran and Uzumaki, too.
"Naruto, your annoying," the pinkette stated before she turned around and walked off. "Sasuke, where are you!?"
"But...ah…"
The greenette let out a sigh as she walked up to him.
"I told you that pinky wouldn't want to eat with us even if Sasuke agreed to it," she told her friend.
"I had to at least try," the blonde sighed as he turned to look at her. "Right, Rai-chan?" The Miran gave him a soft smile that he returned with one of his own. However, as they go to walk off, the greenette came to stop and looked back at the trees around the Academy as she felt like they were being watched. "Raika?" She looked back at her twin, who had stopped and looked at her, and she could see the worry in his cobalt blue eyes. "Is everything, okay?"
"Yeah," she answered with a forced smile. "Just thought that I saw something."
"Okay," the blonde sighed as they walked off.
...My Line...
Both Naruto and Raika could be seen sitting on the roof of a building eating though the blonde was sulking.
'Ugh, what a pain,' he thought. 'I can't believe that I am in the same group of that teme (Bastard).' The Uzumaki let out a sigh. "There's got to be a way to deal with this."
"Huh?"
The greenette looked over at him in confusion, but the older pre-teen completely ignored her though he soon noticed Sasuke.
"Got it," he said with a grin.
'What is he planning?' both the spy and the Miran thought.
...My Line...
Squad 10 could be seen eating together on another roof.
"Alright, if we're going to be the same group then you need to follow my lead," Ino stated. "That's the only way it's going to work."
"Yeah, yeah," Shikamaru agreed. 'That's the only way it's going to work cause she'll throw a fit if she doesn't get her way.'
"Why don't you lead us to some BQ, Ino?" Choji asked.
"Hopeless," the Yamanaka sighed.
It was then that the Nara said the blonde moving along the building towards the Uchiha.
"Naruto?"
"Huh?"
Ino followed his line of sight before both of them let out a gasp when Naruto tackled Sasuke into the room with the window closing and all they can hear is the sound of wrestling.
"Naruto!"
"Pip down!"
"Naruto if you so much as scratch him, you'll be on my enemy list forever," Ino growled before some sounds were heard from the room. "What...what happened?"
...My Line...
"Ha, nice try," Sasuke stated as he looked at the tied up Naruto.
…My Line…
Sasuke left through the window smirking.
"He beat Naruto without even breaking a sweat," Shikamaru stated.
"What do you expect?" the Yamanaka asked. "Naruto against my boy Sasuke? No contest."
…My Line…
Nearby, the hidden Senju narrowed her eyes at the Uchiha as she felt her friend's Chakra coming from within him before letting out a sigh.
'What are you doing now, Naruto?' she thought in question.
...My Line...
'Well, it's not like there's a bit rush or anything,' the pinkette thought as she closed the lid on her lunch. 'I'll be in the same group with Sasuke for a long time. But, still…' She then let out a sigh. 'How could I think that he'll like me? Let's face it? I'm scrawny and small expect my forehead. Why was I born with such a big, wide forehead?' Just then Sakura noticed the dark hair boy standing near a tree looking at her. 'Sasuke? He's looking right at him. That look in his eyes.'
...My Line...
"Sakura, your forehead is so wide and charming," Sasuke said. "It makes me feel...like kissing it."
"Well, there's a lot of room up there," the Haruno stated.
...My Line...
'Grow up Sakura,' she sighed. 'That's just a fairytale. Fairytales don't come true.'
"Sakura, your forehead is so wide and charming," Sasuke said as he walked up to the pinkette while making her to gasp and look up at him. "It makes me feel...like kissing it."
"Kashing!" Inner Sakura cheered. "She scores! This fairytale is for real!"
"Just kidding," the Uchiha said. "That's the kind of dumb thing that Naruto would say." This made her sigh and hang her head. "I want to ask you something."
The male moved to sit down on the bench next to her making her to look at him again.
"Huh?"
"Naruto?" he asked. "What do you think of him?"
"He knows about feelings and purposely gets in the way," the Haruno answered. "He enjoys interfering and making me feel bad. Naruto...he doesn't understand one signal thing about me. He's just annoying. All I really want for you to expect me, Sasuke, that's all."
"You just want me to expect you?"
"Yes," Sakura answered as she looked at him again. "That's how I feel. I'll do anything for that."
The pinkette then started to lean forward with her eyes closed and a blush on her face.
...My Line...
Sasuke was soon shown all tied up on the floor.
'Ugh, I let my guard down,' he thought as he mind went back to not too long ago. 'In class, he couldn't do a simple replication. How could he combined the Replacement Jutsu with the Shadow Clone Jutsu?'
...My Line...
"It's true," the pinkette stated as she still leaned in for a kiss. "I'm desperate."
'I finally know why...why I like Sakura so much,' Naruto thought as he heartbeat fast. 'I finally understand.' Just then his stomach made a weird gurgling noise. 'My stomach! What timing!'
He then got up and started to run away.
"Hey!" the pinkette called out. "What's the matter!?"
"I'll be right back!"
"I didn't know that Sasuke could be so shy," the Haruno mumbled to herself. "Maybe he needs a little more time to get ready."
...My Line...
Naruto disguise as Sasuke ran towards the bathroom and once he was inside the transformation came undone.
"Close," the blonde breathed. "Really close. My stomach was so upset that I almost lost control of the jutsu. Why did it have to happen right then just when she was about to...?" 'She thinks that I'm annoying? She said that three times. I finally transform into Sasuke, get close to Sakura, and she has to go and say that.' "Hey, I know what I should do. It'll make Sasuke act totally obnoxious, ya know. Then she'll hate him more than me!"
...My Line...
Sakura was waiting for Sasuke, before she let out a gasp and stood up.
"Sasuke, your back!" the pinkette said. "Don't be shy you, bad boy! Are you ready now? You know, mental prepared cause I am...I mean, I'm raring to go! Hey, wait a minute!"
"Where's Naruto?"
"Oh, you see, there you go changing the subject again," the Haruno stated. "Anyway, Naruto just picks fights with you. You know why he's so annoying? It's cause he wasn't raised right. He doesn't have a Mother and Father. No one, but Raika to teach him right from wrong. Think about it? He just does whatever comes into his head and not even Raika can make him change his mind." Sasuke glared at her for that. "If I did things like Naruto then forget it. My parents would get mad, and I'll get in trouble, so of course, I don't do it. But, if you don't have parents to tell you then how would you know? He's selfish and bratty, and all alone."
She let out a sigh as she placed her hands onto her hips.
"Alone," Sasuke spoke up. "Isolated."
"Huh?"
"It's not about your parents scolding you," the Uchiha went on. "You have no idea what it means to be alone even with a close childhood friend to keep one company."
"Why are you saying that?"
"Because your annoying," the dark hair teen answered making to gasp.
...My Line...
Raika was standing in the Academy's training grounds, with her eyes closed though her right arm out.
…My Line…
The mask wearing Uchiha watched in awe as the water from the air started to gather in her open hand before taking on different forms just as birds, cats, dogs, wolves, and other animals.
'Amazing,' he thought in shock just as the greenette opened her eyes before snapping them over to him. 'Can she sense me?' A soft smile came to her face before she allowed the water to return to the air and leaving the training grounds. 'Ok, so she can, but chooses to pretend that she can't...That makes no God damn sense!' He then stretched at the top of his head. 'She truly the grandchild of Tobirama Senju that's for sure.'
...My Line...
"Oh man," Naruto groaned as he whipped himself. "I thought I was okay, but it came back." He then stood up and pulled his pants on. "I've got to hurry up. I hope Sakura's still waiting for me." He then flushed before running out of the door only to freak out when he saw Sasuke and then skid to a stop in front of him. "Sasuke, what are you doing here? How did you get lose?"
"I use the Escape Jutsu," the Uchiha answered. "No sweat. It's a very basic technique."
"Huh?"
"Why did you that?" Sasuke asked. "Transform into me?"
"To ruin your reputation, of course," Raika deadpan as she walked past them.
The two boys watched her walk away before looking back at each other.
"Ignoring what Rai-chan said," Naruto stated.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT, ANIKI!" the Miran yelled.
'How did she hear that?' the Uchiha thought with raised.
Naruto sweatdropped before going on.
"I thought I try out my moves on ya, so I did."
He then made the cross hand sign and about 4 more Narutos appeared.
"The same technique again?"
"You're going to see what I can really do," the blonde told him. "You're going down for the count. Then you'll have to admit that I'm the best! Get ready Sasuke!"
Just then the Uzumaki's stomach made a strange noise before to Sasuke's surprise, the blonde and his clones ran for the bathroom only to fight over it.
"What a loser," the Uchiha sighed as he turned to walk away.
...My Line...
'I'm annoying?' the pinkette thought when the scene went back to her. 'That's what he said. Now I get it. This is how Naruto must feel.' "I shouldn't treat him like that. Next time I see him I'm going to be nice."
Naruto was heard groaning as he walked making to look over.
"Maybe I eat something bad," he mumbled before shaking his head. "No, Elder Sister made breakfast and lunch, so there's no way that something was bad."
'Ugh,' the Haruno groaned. 'Naruto.' She made a smile that looked a bit like a grimace appear. 'Smile. Smile.' Sakura then stood up. "Hey, Naruto! Let's head back to class together!"
"Did she really say that?" the blonde asked as he looked surprised.
Sakura laughed nervously while smiling...grimacing?...a bit at him while she waved.
'She never smiles at me like that,' Naruto thought. 'Sasuke must have transformed into Sakura to get back at me.' "Trying to trick me, eh, wise guy! Well, forget it." Just before he could do the Shadow Clone, his stomach once again made a noise. "Why is this happening again!?"
Sakura blinked a few times before growling.
"DUMB NARUTO!"
…My Line…
In the kitchen of the Miran's apartment stood the Sandaime Hokage and Kakashi Hatake.
"So, this is where Raika lives," the Hatake said as he walked towards the table. "If I am right then Naruto might as well live here, too."
"Yes," Hiruzen agreed. "Both Raika-chan and Naruto-kun are as close as siblings even though they are not related." 'Sorry, Kakashi, but my teammates and I have to keep Naruto's blood ties close to the chest for now.' He then looked around. "As you requested, however, the both of them will be on your team along with Sasuke of the Uchiha Clan." He shook his head. "Good luck, you'll need it."
Kakashi picked up a jog of milk from the table and looked at it.
"This milk is pass it's exasperation date," the silver hair Jonin stated before he started to slash it back and forth. "One sip of this and he'll be running to the bathroom all day."
"Huh? That doesn't sound like Raika to get milk that will expire soon."
"Maybe Naruto got it and didn't pay attention to the date," Kakashi told the Sandaime. "Seems like this kid is just one big problem."
...My Line...
"I'M GOING TO SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE ON THE POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!" Naruto yelled out.
