-Naruto-

.

Finally, they were starting their first taijutsu class. Of course, Naruto has his own awesome teacher so there's no reason for him to pay that much attention, so he lets his mind wander.

His new habit of leaking Fuzzy's chakra is having some side effects. Not totally unexpected. His emotion sensing and healing got dialed up to fifteen (which can be pretty overwhelming sometimes but he's getting used to it), and actually being able to talk to Fuzzy outside of dreams is nice.

"It's Kurama, brat!"

"Shut up."

Back to his internal monologue. The weirder bit is how other people are reacting. A lot of the adults are downright terrified. They're either bracing for the apocalypse, trying to outright murder him (and not getting very far), or just accepting their fate and going about their lives. The kids, on the other hand, are pretty mixed. Some are scared, others are jealous (imagine that!), some just don't care (maybe they think it's a bloodline?). But the really weird thing is that there's a group of girls who are getting really concerning.

"It's kind of creepy that seven-year-old children are attracted to my chakra."

"Shut up."

Yeah, that's weird. Naruto really doesn't like it. He stays away from those girls.

Oh, the lecture's over. Yes! They can move on to their first spars! Naruto's not really expecting much, since they only started practicing their taijutsu forms last month, but some of these kids have clan training, right? So they've probably been practicing taijutsu for a while! Naruto really wants to fight Choji and Hinata! Sasuke's awesome to spar with and all, but they spar all the time. Although, they haven't since Naruto started drawing on Fuzzy's chakra all the time...

"His parents probably don't want you to murder him, idiot."

"Shut up."

.

-Iruka-

.

Iruka finished up his lecture with as much encouragement as he could muster. These kids were about to spar for the first time, after all, and Iruka wanted them to enjoy it. He scanned his class, just to make sure they were all ready, and sighed when he saw that Naruto was still in his own world. It's probably fine; Naruto does have his own taijutsu teacher. Still, Kakashi didn't really strike Iruka as the type to teach proper sparring etiquette. Iruka sighed.

"Naruto, would you mind turning off that chakra during the spars?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, sure."

The oppressive chakra abruptly disappeared and Naruto made a face like he heard something loud and annoying. To be honest, Iruka didn't even think that would work. Well, he'd take what he could get. Better to not have Naruto just win with brute force and Kyuubi-enhanced strength. No one would learn anything then.

Not that it really helped. Hinata did relatively well, but Naruto and Sasuke practically dominated the whole thing. It was obvious that those three were the only ones who'd really put intensive training into taijutsu so far. Iruka made a mental note to train them separately, at least until everyone else started to catch up. Although there was something a little more worrying right now...

All the parents loved to hype up Sasuke for being a prodigy in a powerful clan. Their daughters had learned to idolize skilled prodigies as a result. And Naruto was certainly looking just like that right about now. This whole thing didn't teach the class much, but it definitely served to inspire a genuine crazed Naruto fanclub to match Sasuke's.

Probably about time. Naruto needs someone to terrorize him right back.

.

-Sasuke-

.

Somehow, Sasuke realized what was happening even before Naruto. As soon as class was out, Sasuke dragged Naruto away in such a panic that even Naruto, the master of chaos, wasn't sure what was happening. Thankfully, Naruto seemed to sense Sasuke's terror and started his famous disappearing act, hiding the both of them in an inconspicuous bunch of bushes in the park.

Sasuke would've breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that wasn't the end of it. By the end of the week, the both of them were thoroughly traumatized and terrified of the entire female gender. It didn't help that whenever their fanclubs weren't chasing their idols, they were at each others' throats over which boy was better. The sheer aggressiveness of women in catfights was so horrifying that Kurama was taking notes.

Sasuke was resigned to his fate. He would have to learn from Naruto how to escape so efficiently, because there was no way they'd be able to pull off this disappearing act together forever. He turned to ask Naruto for lessons when he saw a contemplative look on the crazy kid's face.

"Hey Sasuke, what do you say to some payback?"

"... Payback?"

"On the crazy girls."

"How do we pay back the crazy girls?"

"Traumatize them right back!"

Traumatize them? How in the world were they supposed to traumatize the girls even half as badly as the girls had traumatized them? They'd have to tear out their souls, trample their spirits, shatter their hearts...

Oh.

"No."

"Come on! It'll get them off our backs!"

"I don't care."

"Why not?!"

"I know exactly what you're thinking, you sicko, and I am not doing that."

"Just a little bit! You don't even have to confirm it! Just let me spread a little rumor and it'll get them to leave us alone!"

"Never!"

"Get over yourself already!"

"I'M NOT GAY!"

"GET OVER HERE SO I CAN KISS YOU, JERK!"

A/N - I don't usually ship NaruSasu (I just can't see that happening without serious therapy on both their parts), but I got the plot bunny when I was thinking about how to go about giving Naruto a fanclub and I just couldn't not do that!
