Back in the days of the academy for Gai, and Kakashi were... Not quite normal just as it is many years ahead of them. Rivals just as they are in their twenties, it just begins now.
Two Days From Graduation
The day is young. the sun just at its peak in the sky, shining on the academy where we start;
Gai "Kakashi!" Points his finger near an inch away from Kakashi's face, "I challenge you to two laps around Konoha you are looking weak and scrawny!" with his goofy smile on, Kakashi scratches his head "Sorry Gai I have to finish this assignment it's due tomorrow and it needs to be done to graduate... Which means you should be doing it also." sighs; Gai "No worries Kakashi! That assignment is simple we can do a thousand laps around Konoha and still have time for that! Look at mine!" Gai holds out his assignment and it appears to have scribbles around and some words explaining how amazing his eyebrows and hair are; Kakashi "Gai... That isn't a drawing paper.. You need to finish it to Graduate I pretty much told you that" Sighs. Gai looks at his paper "I'm sure this'll pass" Smiles widely his tooth
would sparkle; Kakashi "Right well I need to do this. Maybe sometime later we can uh.. Do that exercise run" Kakashi puts ear plugs in and starts writing down his answers unaware that Gai is copying his exact answers.
One Day From Graduation
Eight AM usual time of awaking from all shinobi of Konoha the two emerge from their bed and get ready for the academy.
As soon as the two get to the academy walking in and into their seats, the instructor comes through the sections collecting yesterdays work. Gai "I am sure to pass Kakashi just watch! I'll get a higher score than you" smiles with his shiny teeth; Kakashi "I'm sure you will.." Rests his head on the desk handing the instructor his work as he passes.
Five Minutes later. "Kakashi Hatake, and Might Gai, please come to my desk" both would walk up to the desk and wait for the instructor to talk. Gai "This is defently where he tells me I got the best score. Hehe" Smiles brightly. Kakashi stands there tired and emotionless "Mhm.. Sure Gai". Intructor "Can you two explain this? Because it looks as if you both cheated" holds out their papers exactly the same except for Gai's as a some writing at the bottom saying "If you give this a better mark than Kakashi i'll help you get a amazing haircut like mine!". Kakashi looks to Gai and grumbles "Gai... You copied my work!" his eyes now giving a hint of him being angry. Gai "Of course I didn't cheat from you! I'm a genious and we both must have gotten the same exact answers! Because we are like one!" Sticks his thumb up smiling with the shine. Instructor "Well unless one of you confesses you cheated I will fail the both of you and you both will have to go through the academy again." States calmly. Kakashi "Gai.. You must tell him you copied me! Because I am not failing the Academy!" Has the frusteration mark on his forehead. Gai whispers to Kakashi "Only if you beat me in a race around Konoha" giggles. Kakashi sighs "Deal"
Later that day after convincing the instructor to give them time to deal with it. Gai gets into a running position "Get Ready! Get Set! Go!!" Gai would be dashing as fast as he can to run around Konoha faster than Kakashi looking back he wouldn't see him "Hehe I must be winning!". In the mean time Kakashi would be standing there reading a book waiting for Gai to get back "Hm.. This is to simple" Yawns.
Twenty Minutes later Gai would reach the starting line seeing Kakashi "W-What! You beat me! Hoow! It can't be.. " Gai sniffles and falls to his knees crying in failure. Kakashi "Sorry Gai maybe next time now tommorow you must tell the Intructor you copied me" Smirks under his mask. Gai "Of course I am honorable! I shall keeep *Sniffle* My word!" Runs into the gates heading home. As well as Kakashi
Graduation Day
Sun just rising from the mountains in the early day Six AM to be exact all the academy students are called to the academy for those to be announced as graduates.
Gai at the intructors desk, "Sir! Intructor! I kept my word! Kakashi did not cheat, it was I..." Frowns, "And doing so I fully take the responsibility and shall go through the academy again sir!" tears would emerge from his eyes; Instructor "Good Gai, return to your seat, I am now to announce who is to graduate everyone be seated!" smiles, Kakashi "Thank you Gai now I can graduate and complete my fathers steps." smiles; Gai would be sniffling "Yes Kakashi but now I-" stops suprised; Instructor "Our top students are Might Gai and Kakashi Hatake! Give them a hand for they are first to graduate!" Everyone would clap, Gai "What!!!? I am a Niiinja!" Squeels and jumps in the air and runs around the classroom crying; Kakashi "Wow.. He passed? And figures I did" walks up and grabs Gai's shirt and walks to the desk taking his headband bowing, "Thank you Instructor" Gai would do the same crying in sheer happiness; Gai looks at Kakashi and sticks his finger at Kakashi "We are to remain as Rivals forever now! You shall not surpass me!!!" smiles; Kakashi "Oh.. Yea sure" Kakashi is reading a book with his headband already on "Later Gai I'm heading home for a bit".
And so it ends!
(Sorry it may look weird I did it in notepad so sorry v.v)

naruto came home from the academy one day, beat up and tired. "how did all this happen? oh yea, it's all ~his~ fault..." and so naruto drifted off to sleep, having nightmares about his day.
~earlier that day~
"Beep, Beep, Beep" naruto's alarm clock was going off, and as usual he didnt wake up for it. snoring loudly he rolled over in his sleep and rolled completly out the bed. falling in a mixture of blankets and sheets he cry'ed out in pain. yawning he took the next 10 minutes getting untangled from the sheets.
"Dang it, i'm late i'm late i'm late! today was supposed to be the perfect day, get sakura to like me, and prove that sasuke isnt so cool! dang it!" quickly getting ready he rushed off to the academy getting there right as class was starting.
"yes, iruka's not here yet!" and so naruto smiles and skips into class "it's already going perfec-"
"NARUTO!!!" iruka yelled, closing the door behind naruto and glareing down at him, "Your late....for the 30th time this year, i've come up with a new type of punishment"
"uh oh" naruto sighs and looks down waiting to hear his punishment before he notices sasuke to the side, looking all smug. "Wait iruka-sensei! it's all sasuke's fault i'm late! he made me uh, he uh made me take out his trash!"
"right, well then you wouldnt mind doing it...again...naruto" iruka smiles and points at the trashcan in the corner. "oh and make sure to empty all of them in the academy"
"fiiiine" naruto goes about grabing all the trash cans, and on his way outside he's surrounded by sakura and a huge mob of girls.
"you...tried...to....get sasuke in trouble" the girls all say at once, naruto looking petrified.
"no, you gotta believe me! i uh just....oh look over there, it's sasuke!" naruto points in a random direction, and as the mob looks, he darts off in the oposite dashing through the entire town with more then 2 dozen girls chasing after him, throwing rocks and other stuff at him and punching/kicking when they get close enough.
after about 2-3 hours of that naruto finally loses the crowd and heads back to the academy, around lunch time, and sitting down, and slamming his head on the table. "so....aweful...."
"loser" is all sasuke say's, and it seems to do the trick as naruto gets up as if to hit sasuke or at least yell at him however the mob of girls quickly found him again....
"here we go again..." and so with that, all day, naruto was chased round and round the village by an angry mob of adolesent girls.

Naruto : The academy years!
Taijutsu in the rain!
"Alright class, lets head outside for taijutsu training!" Iruka calls to the class, as everyone groans and calls out"But Iruka sensei, its raining outside!"
As Shikamaru sighs, and puts his head on the desk, thinking to himself "Taijutsu training, What a drag..." Choji next to him eating from his bag of chips, "Aww, man, taijutsu training in the rain, I havent even finished yet..."
Iruka yell out over the class, "Hey! When your a real ninja on missions, your'll soemtimes have to fight and go through weather that is not to your liking! This is a great opportunity to train yourself in a harsher weather conditon, now everyone outside now!" Pointing to the door evveryone gets up grumbling in unison "yes sensei.."
Outside, everyone began to run laps, some students holding their hands over their heads, as Shikamaru and Choji stayed near the back as they ran after the class, Sasuke at the front with the girls chasing and complimenting him, while Naruto was no where to be seen, as usual.
"H-Hey Shikamaru?" Choji says through his panting, looking about the class well ahead of them.
"Yeah?" Shiakmaru replies a bit annoyed at being soaking wet and running around.
"Naruto's not here..*pant* again.. where*pant* do you think he is this..*pant* time?" Choji asks as he looks to Iruka wondering if he has noticed as well.
"I dunno, but I bet Iruka won't be happy about it. We'll all get in trouble again.." He says annoyed, knowing they'll all have some sort of suprise test, probobly clone or substitution, seeing as they did doplganger last time.
After half an hour of taijutsu training in the rain, they all go back inside and dry off before taking their seats. Iruka enters last, putting away his umbrella, and looks to the class, some laughing at something on the board, where his next lesson upon the chakra system was, drawn out intricatly, having took several hours to get it hwo he liked it.
He looks to it and his jaw drops in deep shock. Upon the board is drawn the hokage cliffs, with Narutos head much bigger and on top of the others looking over the village, in big words over it saying "THE NEXT HOKAGE!" with what looks like people standing on buildings bowing.
"Guess we know where Naruto has been.."Shikamaru says annoyed, as Choji gets himself a new bag of chips from his desk.
"NARUTOOO!!!" is heard echoing from the academy, as Naruto runs about the village laughing mischiviously.

// Sorry to kaindelvin if the start of mien sounds the same :s
~Naruto~
The loud rings of the alarm clock could be heard echoing threw the room, He had already woken up twice to reset the alarm and now it was again going off, This time reading "8.44 AM" and Naruto was still sound alseep, He slowly began to roll falling off the edge of the bed, Dragging his blankets and pillow with him, The alarm clock also falling down to strike hm square on the head, As he awoke and rubbed his head, Turning off the aalarm and letting out a yawb before finally looking at it.
"Oh god! Not again! Im late!" He tore threw the room picking up his clothes and rushing out the door only half dressed as he quickly threw the clothes on and ran down the street, Running past the ramen stand where the iristable smell hit his nose, As this happened he skidded to a stop and drooled a bit, Looking back to the stand as he thought to himself *(Hmm, I am already late..But I need food to keep up my strength!)* After sitting down at the stand he ordered some ramen and quickly downed it, After almost ten minutes of looking for his wallet and producing a voucher, He quickly runs towards the academy.
As Naruto reaches the doors to the academy he looks around for Iruka, Not spotting him he quickly rushes in until he reaches his class room, Peeking inside to see Iruka is all not inside the class he smirks and strolls in casually, As the door slowly closses behind Naruto, He freezes as a cold chill runs up his spine, And Iruka is seen standing behind Naruto, His arms folded as he glares down to him, Iruka then speaks slowly "Your late...For the third time this week Naruto..." Naruto slowly turns around and swallows a bit.
After class is over, And Naruto has received no punishment yet, He thinks he has gotten away from his punishment, As the class begins to leave Iruka stands up and coughs a bit "Class, Because of Narutos constant lateness, You will all be staying behind for an hour for every time he was late this week.." After this is mentioned, The class all turn back to look at Naruto, Everyone of them glaring and making him feel very guilty, As Naruto only look to the ground and sighs.
After the three hours pass the class is finally allowed to leave, Each one of them still giving the cold shoulder towards Naruto as he is the last one to leave the class, Iruka pulls him asside once more "Naruto, If you are late once more, You will be cleaning the entire school with nothing more then a toothbrush for the entire weekend, Naruto nods "Yes Iruka-sensei.." He sighs and runs off home thinking to himself *(Better set my alarm earlier this time..)*
The next morning the light flows threw the window of Narutos home, The alarm clock blearing away loudly as it now reads "8.59 AM" Naruto slowly stirs from his sleep and looks to the clock, Flailing about as he sees the time "IM LATE!!! NOO!" He is then seen tearing threw the streets to the academy, Only to find Iruka sitting by the desk holding out a toothbrush and bicket of water.
~The end~

Post by Tsunade on Aug 24, 2009 11:18:18 GMT -5
One afternoon, while waiting for Lady Hokage Tsunade to return from her meeting with her council members, Sakura and Shizune were cleaning up some paper work around her office. Sakura then stumbled upon a tattered journal that had been lost amongst the pile of books around the Hokage’s desk. She found it curious considering it had glitter and pink binding that would appear to be a typical little girl’s “Diary”. She slowly and hesitantly opens it wondering what sort of documentation it was and giggles recognizing the handwriting but in a more youthful manner. The “i”s were heart shaped among stickers, each page would be sealed with a lipstick kiss, and the identity of the writer came to shock Sakura as she yelped “Nani?!”
Curious as to what startled Sakura-chan, Shizune has a worried expression in fear she may have come across Lady Hokage’s stash of ~Konoha male shinobi- yearly calender~. A whole library gathered of all the handsome male shinobi posing shirtless, dating back to the 3rd Hokage’s reign over Konoha. Kneeling beside Sakura she eyes the curious book and asks Sakura-chan what she found, to which Sakura ignored being focused on reading the books contents and Shizune reads along…
~Diary Entry 31~
I just had my first day at the academy and it sucked… We immediately began our study of Henge-Jutsu and I made a fool out of myself in front of the entire class. This one kid named Orochimaru did it flawless to which Sarutobi Sensei commented on how we should all be trying just as hard as Orochimaru or some junk… This is so embarrassing considering I am related to our Hokage- I cannot mess up again.
If grandpa was around he would have taught me and given me insight to what the technique requires. I miss him so much and ever since * tear drops begin to litter the page * he was taken, mom and dad were never the same. No one was, but granduncle Tobirama is doing his best to keep us together as a family- the whole village in fact. I guess that is what is meant to be Hokage… Oh Gawd mom is yelling at me to head off to bed now, until tomorrow night!
Smooches,
Tsunade~
Sakura and Shizune simply giggle as they look at each other.
Shizune: “Should we continue? … It is an invasion of Lady Hokage’s privacy.”
Sakura: “But we haven’t read much of it- I wont tell if you won’t Shizune…” *whines*
Shizune: “It wouldn’t be right Sakura, let’s put it back.”
Sakura: *Pouts* “You are always such a stick in the mud Shizune… but ok.”
Shizune: “Am not! … am too… Alright just one more and then we put it back.”
The two girls huddle back together and return to reading another entry from Tsunade’s Diary.
~Diary Entry 75~
Like -no- way… Could this day get any worst…? Today we were assigned to our squads and I was so happy to be partnered with the smartest kid in the academy Orochimaru. I think I could learn quite a lot from him, considering people say he is a prodigy. How frustrating that I have to work so hard and study non-stop while it comes natural to him because he is a prodigy. No biggy though, Sarutobi Sensei said I had excellent chakra control and could very well exceed Orochi-cutie’s chakra control. He even suggested I study to become a medical shinobi! How awesome is that?!
Well that was the good part- here comes the bad part and his name is Jiraiya. He is a slacker kid who does nothing but write love letters to every girl in the class, except me. He even told me the reason was because I was FLAT CHESTED- THE NERVE OF HIM!!! Sorry Diary, I did not mean to send off so much negative energy in my writing. Unfortunately I will have to put up with this slacker because he is now part of my squad… I figured having Orochi-cutie would make a difference and kinda make things easier, but it SOOOooo did not.
Sarutobi Sensei started us off with some drills and try to find out how we work together as a team. Utilizing our own strengths and keeping our weaknesses in check, mathematically we should have succeeded. Orochi-cutie has virtually no weaknesses so it is true what they say about him, while Jiraiya… * her writing begins to go deeper as if etching the page due to the force applied* did nothing but flirt with some girls from our class as they passed by. Oh… but I had the last laugh, I let him have it alright right in the kisser. It was very liberating- oh crud dad spotted me, in short- all in all the day was bare able but I hope tomorrow will be more promising.
Kisses,
Tsunade~
Sakura and Shizune continue reading on as they feel compelled and did not bother even hesitating as they flip through several pages stops finding something of interest.
~Diary Entry 99~
How many pages are in this book? Not that I am trying to get rid of you or anything Diary just curious.
Anyway, today was abit eerie to say the least but awesome just the same. We were on our 5th C-Rank mission in the land of waves, Sarutobi sensei was leading our squad, and the objective was to secure a station for some travelers to meet up and escort them to Konoha. They say war is looming on the horizon and it is inevitable, I totally wish that wasn’t the case like- that is a MONDO mistake. Grandpa has been preaching about the will of fire and from what my parents say, gave gifts to each hidden village of the 5 great countries… Why would they want to break his legacy? And so soon? Ugh so frustrating when adults think they know so much more than us kids- when they are behaving like kids themselves. Age is just a number, I know when I grow up I wont be as shallow as them.
Back on topic though, we secured the station at the border of fire country and simply waited for the caravan of travelers to arrive. It most likely wasn’t the smartest thing to do but Jiraiya had a sudden snack attack and felt necessary to COOK while on a mission. I don’t know if it was the campfire or the smell of his cooking, it did smell good though, but we were ambushed that night. Sarutobi sensei tried to fight off as many of the attackers as he could while we remained his backup, and kept in a tight nit formation. Two ninja then came at us from the sides catching Jiraiya and myself off guard, and I thought I would have died that day… Sarutobi Sensei came to my rescue though and Orochimaru saved Jiraiya. By saving me, Sarutobi Sensei left himself open and got deeply wounded at the side of his torso. I tried to heal his wound while Orochimaru and Jiraiya tried to fend them off giving us some time, and then it happened…
Orochimaru was cut on his arm by one of the assailants and his eyes- his nature- his… All I know is that he wasn’t the Orochimaru I knew. He single handedly performed an advanced Earth-Ninjutsu and swallowed all the attackers under the earth’s surface at once. His body was monsterous as if wanting more, he turned to look at us with murder in his eyes as he licked his lips. Sarutobi sensei still crippled embraced Orochimaru in a hug, and it seemed to have calmed him down. Jiraiya and I were still shell-shocked with what just happened but it was obvious there is more to Orochimaru than what we know… And Sarutobi sensei may not be willing to tell us.
Regardless with what just happened, and it being the first time I saw death knocking at my door ready to snatch me away- Orochimaru saved us… He is still part of our squad and our friend, what happened that night can be overseen. I just hope he doesn’t act on those feelings again. Tsunade out.
*Huggles*,
Tsunade~
Sakura and Shizune frown slightly as they read the book and wonder if they should continue. They realize that Tsunade and Jiraiya were truly close with their now sworn enemy Orochimaru, the person who has taken the life of a man who embraced him as a son. Sakura decides to read once more exert hoping to find a happy ending, and reads it aloud to Shizune who heads back to organizing the office and putting books away.
“ ~Diary Entry 250~ (Last Page)
Today is a big day in my life, it marks the beginning of me becoming a Chunin! I cannot believe all the memories marked in this book and all the emotions poured in it’s writing… Diary you and I have come a long ways, please do not miss me too much- I know it will be hard for the both of us… It is a strange thing life, how quickly it can pass us by in a blink of an eye when reading back one’s journal. Did I just write journal? Wow… I am getting old, ewww.
My squad and I all passed the Chunin exams at the same time, it is surprising because the night before… we talked and made a promise to ourselves that we would. I invited Jiraiya and Orochimaru over to sleep at my house for the night since we would have the Chunin exams the following day. It really gave us a chance to connect and get to know each other’s goals in life. There was a lot of good and bad things that came out of it- and hope that we get to fulfill our dreams. I should write down what happened as well, so I can remember should I see Jiraiya and Orochimaru again…
Well it was funny because the idea to share each other’s history and goals in life came from Jiraiya- who knew the idiot had a heart? Anyway, he told us about how he lost his mother at birth and only had his father. I figured that must be why he acts the way he is- because there wasn’t a woman in his life and he is seeking one. He continued on saying how he wished to have known more about his mother but only has a few momentos of her and a picture. His dream was to make her proud, wherever she was, and for giving him the chance to live. My view on Jiraiya completely turned that night, and I had more respect for him… At least until I found him later that night, with binoculars looking out my window trying to watch my neighbor change- the jerk.
It was my turn of course and I hesitantly admitted to both of them about being the Grand-Daughter-Slash-Niece of Konoha’s Hokages. They were of course amazed, and who wouldn’t be- but the truth of the matter is it is a large strain on our family. We are very close and look after one another, but when the head of your family can be targeted any moment… it just isn’t easy. The loss of grandpa was a huge blow to us, a war on the bend as grand uncle is trying to calm things down is also nerve rattling. Aside from that- it was also a huge burden to be related to not 1 Hokage but 2. It is as if I have to live up to their shadow… but it just doesn’t seem possible. The only thing I could do though is continue on their teaching of the Will of Fire, and protect the ones I love through my medical Jutsu. That was my dream.
Orochimaru’s turn soon came and he did not want to tell us about his past at first, but through my persuasive abilities- he came around. It turns out Orochimaru lost not just one parent but both during the Second Great Shinobi war. He was an orphan that took care of himself, I came to realize now that Sarutobi Sensei saw not only a genius in Orochimaru but a kid alone in the world. Jiraiya and I immediately sympathized with him, and then he came to telling us his goals for the future which I must admit sounded beautiful, but unobtainable. His one true wish was to bring back his parents from the dead, and to stop those close to him from dieing. To do this he said he must discover an Immortality jutsu which is hidden within all jutsus. I was confused as to that statement, but I knew that if there was anyone who could achieve it that was Orochimaru.
Its been 2 days since we talked last- and now we are seperating to discover ourselves in that great big world of ours. Each of us has our own goals and I can only hope that we can achieve it when we return to Konoha… I leave you diary here hidden and hopefully unseen even by my annoying little brother Nawaki, who always finds everything, I still love that squirt. Take good care and wish me the same…
Sincerely,
Tsunade~”
The two smile faintly at each other unaware of the person standing right outside the doorway.
Tsunade: “…Enjoying yourselves?”
Sakura and Shizune: “TSUNADE-SAMA!!!!!”

Naruto Schooldays Fanfic
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and its rights, and if you thought otherwise, then you may have a lethal case of chronic ignorance.
“Naruto Characters are Just That... to a Fault.”
The hidden village of leaf is still under the watch of the early morning sun. The trees stand untouched by wind under a cloudless blue sky. Even the inhabitants of the village are in compliance with the peace, and market vendors are only beginning to put up their stalls. Indeed, the only sound comes from birds chirping in midflight-
“Shikamaru, wake up!” … with the exception of the Academy, of course.
Slowly, Shikamaru’s eyes open, then flicker shut. With slightly more effort, sure that something pressing is at hand, they open further- and glue themselves closed again. Must have been nothing… He slips deeper into the blissful embrace of warm sleep... “Yow!” Shikamaru bolts upright in his seat, rubbing the back of his head furiously while casting a surly glare at Iruka’s smug mug. “Did you have to hit me so hard this time? … and at least try and look like you’re sorry about it.”’
Iruka shakes his head, throwing his leaf headband in and out of the sun’s bright rays, causing it to flash blindingly in Shikamaru’s eyes. As Shikamaru cringes in annoyance and shields his face from the glaring light, Iruka responds. “For last time, no sleeping in class! What would your father say if he-. . .” Iruka pauses, and Shikamaru raises a brow as if to say “My Dad, seriously?” Then after a beat, Iruka shakes his head furiously and says “Never mind that! But I never want to see your head on that desk again, understood? If not, your grades will drop even lower than they already are.”
Shikimaru groans, leaning back in his seat while rolling his eyes. “Fine, It’s not like I’m failing… man, you’re such a drag.” With that, Shikamaru lets his eyelids float gently closed, paying no heed to the events of the classroom. He can’t complain, my head is nowhere near my desk. Heh…
Iruka’s eye twitches. “Not failing?” Shikamaru partially opens one eyelid to regard Iruka, whose face betrays years of frustration at Shikamaru’s inability to work. “Shikamaru, your test scores are no better than, if not worse, than Naruto’s! And I’ll be-“
“Hey! Iruka-sensei, what do you mean, worse than mine?! That's not saying much. I’m a straight ‘A’ student, believe it! Hehe, if anything, you should say Shikamaru’s worse than Sasuke! That says a lot.” Naruto crosses his arms with the idiotic punk grin that describes him in a nutshell, and when he opens his eyes, nearly every girl in the room is glaring at him with murder in their eyes, typical of his success with women. Naruto’s eyes go wide as dinner plates and he raises his arms into the air for protection, waving them frantically to try and deter the impending beat-down. Oh man-Oh man-Oh man… Not again!
As Naruto struggles desperately to escape the gaggle of girls with his head still attached to his shoulders, Sasuke looks at the chalk board dispassionately, Elbows propped up on a desk and his chin resting on laced fingertips. “What a loser.” He lets a small smirk grace his lips, placing the emphasis on the left side of his face to make it obvious enough for even a dolt like Naruto to notice. Wait for it…
Naruto, rolling to look at Sasuke after his blatant insult, spots the smirk and falls right into the trap. “Sasuke, you stuck up prick! I’ll get you if it’s the last thing I d-” Naruto’s insensible temper is immediately swallowed up by the enraged cries of half a dozen self-righteous girls, “You didn’t just say…“ - “You’ll pay for that!” - “How dare you threaten Sasuke-kun?!” As the beating intensifies two-fold, Naruto gives in to the inevitable and just lets them come. Why me…?
At least those annoying airheads are good for something… Sasuke drops his affected smirk and resumes the expressionless mask that he normally wears. Why am I still here? . . . As Sasuke’s thoughts descend into the dark depths of his mind, he hears that cursed voice that destroyed his childhood and clan. "My foolish little brother, if you wish to kill me one day, foster your hatred and despise me. Survive in such an unsightly manner as this. By all means, flee. Cling to your wretched life And some day, when you posses the same eyes, come back and face me." Sasuke’s eyes narrow, and his hands clench together, shaking with the now ill-concealed rage that drives his purpose in life. There must be a faster way to the Mangekyou… There just has to be a better route than this useless academy…
By this time, Shikamaru’s gaze is locked on the class’s window to the outside world, where small clouds have started drifting in from the west. Man, sometimes I wish I were just a...
“CRUNCH!” Choji, the monstrous bottomless pit and one man food orchestra, begins to munch his way through an entire percussion section of potato chips. With great zest and enthusiasm, He singlehandedly deprives Shikamaru of any sleep he might have been able to get, on top of the thundering Naruto beat-down.
A frustration mark throbs on Shikamaru’s forehead, and he reaches into his ninja tool belt for a resolution to the situation. Always come to class prepared… right, Iruka? Between his index, middle, and ring fingers, he draws out a pair of earplugs, and inserts them into his ears, leaning back with his hands behind his head, taking advantage of the chaos to finally get some shuteye. That’s more like it…
Iruka returns to his post at the front of the classroom, stalwartly ignoring Naruto, the girls, and Choji. He turns around at the teacher’s pedestal only to see Shikamaru asleep once more, with his hands laced behind his head, and a sliver of drool running down the side of his mouth. Iruka sighs with resignation, closing his eyes in thought while rubbing the back of his neck in indecision. What am I going to do with you, Shikamaru? I know that there’s a bright kid somewhere under that brain-dead exterior... I hope… “Alright, everyone quiet, or you’ll all be doing fifty laps around the village every day for the next two weeks!” Utter and total silence follows his words, and no one in the classroom moves a muscle. Heh... thanks Gai. The only movement in the room is Choji, stealthily trying to sneak the last potato chip into his mouth. Ino dashes over and quickly grabs his arm, shaking her head. “Good. Now everyone get back to your seats, and I don’t want to hear a word out of you. Today we’ll begin our lesson on the Chakra circulatory system-”
Two hours later:
Iruka leans against the railing of the academy rooftop, surveying the village with a look of frustration on his face. “I just don’t get those kids, Kakashi.” He turns around to look at the son of Konoha’s White Fang, Kakashi Hatake, who he occasionally looked to for guidance.
Kakashi, stuck with his nose deep in the pages of “Make-out Paradise” under the shady limbs of a tall tree, turns a page and responds without looking up. “Those kids being…?” He blushes slightly as he finds a rather choice section of his book. This part is so…
Iruka slams his fist down on the railing, grinding his teeth as he recalls his ordeal in class a few hours earlier. “Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, All of them… but especially Naruto. I’ve never known another kid so determined to excel, but who fails at it so miserably.” Iruka shakes his head, recalling every test that Naruto’s ever failed. “That poor kid… he expects to become the next hokage, but he can’t even master the simple clone jutsu… or pay attention to what I say for more than 10 seconds, for that matter.”
Kakashi turns another page, and flicks his right eye up to regard Iruka sardonically. “It couldn’t be… that you’ve forgotten your own academy years, Iruka? As I recall, you were quite the cl-“
“Class clown, yes, as if I could ever forget it.” Iruka steps evenly towards Kakashi, his body language demanding more attention than “Make-out Paradise” at the moment. Kakashi sighs, and flips the book closed over a falling leaf to mark his page. “Kakashi, I realize that I was alot like him... and growing into the role of a responsible special jounin is one matter. Becoming the hokage now… well that’s something else. Besides, Naruto likely won’t rise any higher than I have.”
Kakashi’s gaze is focused somewhere over Iruka’s right shoulder, and his visible eye glints with what might be amusement. “Iruka… perhaps you’ve risen higher in rank than you know.”
Iruka sighs, and glumly points a hitchhiker’s thumb over his shoulder. “He painted my face onto the third hokage again, didn’t he?”
Kakashi delays his answer a bit for dramatic effect. . . “No.” He re-opens “Make-out Paradise” and brushes the leaf away, continuing where he left off.
Iruka’s face falls into pure relief, and he wipes a sweat drop from his brow. “Thank good-“
“It’s painted on the fourth, as though you’re kissing the third quite vigorously“
An infuriated cry echoes through the village, shaking birds from their trees into flight. “Naruto!”
