Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ A Fated Meeting ❯ Failed at Life! ( Chapter 4 )

A Fated Meeting: Suprise Suprise: Part 1

 

Sasuke stared at Naruto from the corner of his eye. It was like he hadn't eaten in a week.

 

`I wonder why he's like this?' Sasuke thought, frowning. He decided to test him a little.

 

“Oi, usuratonkachi.”

 

“TEME!!!! STOP CALLING ME THAT!!!! OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!!!!”

 

`Well, at least he's normal…' Sasuke smirked. “Stop being so loud. We have a test this afternoon, and I am not going to fail.”

 

Naruto snorted. “This time I'll be number one!” he gave his trademark grin and started to munch.

 

“Usuratonkachi.” That conversation ended too soon. Normally, Naruto would maybe punch him and they'd fight on the spot, or…

 

His trail of thoughts ended when he saw Naruto blush. He looked behind him.

 

And smirked.

 

There she was, Sakura. Her long pink hair flowing in the wind, her eyes shining in the sun and she was smiling her best smile.

 

He understood now…

 

Naruto liked Sakura.

 

 

When lunch was over, they went to class. Mizuki-sensei was there, tapping his foot, and a vein pulsing on his forehead. “Uchiha Sasuke!”

 

Sasuke just looked at him, calmly. “What?”

 

The girls swooned.

 

Mizuki just got angrier. “Will you please tell me WHY you went Naruto-style and ditched class??”

 

Sasuke gave Mizuki a full-blown, Uchiha-death glare, making Mizuki gulp. “You ever say something like that ever again; I'll personally make sure you'll never have children.” He then calmly strode to his seat next to Naruto and sat down, making the girls swoon, while everyone else just stared.

 

Naruto stared at Sasuke. “You didn't have to do that…”

 

Sasuke sighed. “We're friends, right?”

 

Naruto nodded.

 

“And friends look out for each other, right?”

 

Naruto grinned. “Yeah!”

 

Suddenly, Iruka came, apparently pissed off. “Naruto…”

 

“Uh oh…” Naruto gulped.

 

“You better behave yourself, or else!” Iruka said with a stern look on his face.

 

“Eep!! Hai! I promise!” Naruto said a little too quickly.

 

With that Iruka left to take his lunch break, with “kansai-style udon” running through his head repeatedly.

 

Sasuke turned to Naruto. “Don't want to take any chances, right?”

 

Naruto nodded in response. The door creaked, causing all of the students to look. Mizuki walked across the classroom in a fast pace. When he turned to face the class however, he was met with a fierce glare, from none other than the Uchiha boy.

 

Mizuki sighed. "Uchiha-san...will you please stop glaring at me like that??"

 

Sasuke just said “ hmph!”, but started glaring harder.

 

Mizuki felt really nervous. He could swear he just felt a death threat emitting from that boy…but was compelled to continue.

 

“Ano…”

 

He opened his mouth to say more, but when he felt a deadly glare coming his way from Sasuke, he high-tailed out of there, slamming the door behind him.

 

Iruka sighed. He was wondering about Mizuki's weird behavior. He was fine, but after he came back from the class, he looked almost, sick. He shook his head. But Mizuki could stay for the test if he wanted to, because it was his decision. He then decided to commence the test he planned for punishing Naruto. But it wouldn't be fair to just give it to him. The whole class would have to fall with him. He grinned, but then put a serious look back on his face. The class will not know that this the final.(the two tests are combined so there will only be one test.)

 

The whole class was laughing at Naruto. There he was, sitting all tied up in ropes on the floor, looking miserable, but full of pride.

“Foolish,” Sasuke muttered under his breath.

 

Iruka turned to Naruto. “Now… pay close attention, Naruto. You failed the last final exam and the exam before that. You shouldn't be making a fool of yourself all of the time. You've got to be more serious than that or you'll never make it to be a ninja.”

 

“Hmph” Naruto snorted haughtily.

 

Iruka raised his eyebrow at his behavior. “Fine then. We're going to have a test on the bunshin no jutsu! Those who already passed the test will have to take this test too!"

 

“What?” The class said aloud, bewildered. They then sent Naruto furious glares.

 

Naruto shivered. `Oh no. Not this again. I don't like this feeling.'

 

As Iruka was reviewing the rules, Naruto mourned. `But I don't know how do the the bunshin! Anything else, but this! I'm doomed!'

 

“Ok let the test begin!” Iruka sat behind the desk next to the other chunnin judges.

 

“Haruno Sakura! You're up first!”

 

Sakura hesitantly walked in front of the judges and formed the seal.

 

`Bunshin no Jutsu!' When she saw that she had made three perfect bunshin, she clapped with joy, thinking how much better she was than Ino at this skill!

 

Inner Sakura screamed in her head `SUCCESS!!!'

 

“Up next! Uchiha Sasuke” Iruka said after grading Sakura's bunshin.

 

“Hmph. Ok.” Sasuke walked up and made three perfect bunshin.

 

`That was good, Sasuke,' Iruka thought as he graded the bunshin.

 

“Next up! Naruto!”

 

`I'm a gonner.' Naruto thought.

 

He walked up to the judges. `I have to make this count. Bunshin no Jutsu!' He looked back hesitantly. He froze. Lying on the floor was the palest, most messed up bunshin he had EVER seen! And here's what made it worse. There was only ONE bunshin.

 

“Naruto! You fail!” Iruka said.

 

Mizuki smirked. Here's what will make it embarrassing for that demon brat! “Iruka-sensei. Naruto did make one bunshin. Shouldn't you pass him?”

 

“No!” Iruka sharply retorted. “Everyone else was able to make three bunshin!! It wouldn't be fair to everyone else who passed!”

 

Naruto blocked the rest out. It would seem as though he would never get to be a genin with his friend. He sat on his favorite swing outside the academy. He could hear the insults being hurled at him from the other parents. He had always envied a family. It was something he could never have. He wanted to be loved, not hated.

 

“Hey kid!”

 

Naruto turned to face Mizuki.

 

“Nani?”

 

Mizuki squatted down next to him.

 

“Didn't you want to pass the test?”

 

“Of course! But I wasn't skilled enough…”

 

“Don't worry too much. Iruka's just being hard on you. I would have passed you. But,”

 

Mizuki inwardly grinned.

 

“I know a way in which he'll definitely pass you …”

 

Iruka ran to the forest as fast as he could. He just couldn't believe that Naruto would actually do something so…

 

`Naruto, you're in big trouble this time!”

 

By

 

Iruka sighed. Lying in the hospital, he reflected on what happened that day. He had thought that Naruto would steal the forbidden scroll, but he was wrong about him. He was just a kind boy that eagerly wanted to be a genin. Well, maybe he shouldn't have passed him. But still, he had to pay him back for all the misunderstandings about him.

 

Before he went to sleep, he thought `I hope Naruto makes a great genin.'
