Chapter 5: A Flashback: Mini-Super Naruto!

He is a self-appointed instigator of peace. He is the protector of those that are being bullied and the avenger of those that had been picked upon. Having been the receiving end of insults all his childhood life, it just seemed mighty appropriate that he give back all that had been handed down to him. He didn't want them jeerings, insults and beatings so he's just gonna give it all back to them.

He had serviced several of his kinds now, and had been pleased when their attackers had stopped bugging them after he had done those evil encarnates a second dose of his avenging skills. Some of them bullies tired getting him back, but considering that he is under disguise during the time he is rescuing his people, (and considering those bullies are dumb), the bullies had a pretty difficult time marking who he was. Even his people tried to seek out who his real identity is, but as much as he would like to indulge them, it would be too risky.

There is but one person who knew him. Well, at he thinks that she knows him. They had been passing each other in the hallways of the academy for about three years and through his great investigative skills, he had learned that her name is Haruno Sakura. She might have heard his name taking in the fact that his teachers are always hollering at him, but other than he knowing her name and she knowing (probably) his name, they had never really been formally introduced.

He had saved her a couple of times now through well-placed booby traps set for her attackers. Since she had always been the favorite to be picked on, he had known where to palce them and and time them perfectly so her attackers would be pranked as according to his brilliant, brilliant plan. Her bullies, much to his dismay, are the persistent kind and the dumbest kind. No matter how many thousand times he pranked them for causing pain to this pink-haired kunoichi, they never learned their lesson. Either that they are the select few to whom the positive and negative reinforcement theory does not apply or that this Haruno Sakura is too much a push-over for them to resist going back to their evil ways.

He hoped to God that it is the latter for they would not survive as a ninja if they would be too-thick to understand such a simple theory.

Come to think of it, most likely it is the latter. For ALL of the time he saved, she had not made a single effort to protect herself or get back at her attackers. Truly, that girl, if he hadn't come to realize the he likes, LIKES her, he would have sat her down and gave her a serious lecture about honor and dignity.

Anyways, back to the point how she came to know of his identity. It is one of those days that he had been expecting for her to be confronted by her bullies during her walk to her school. Cool as he can be, he set his traps there and set them to be triggered in such away that once the bullies descends upon her, they would be....well, let's just say they are not going to be using their hair brush for a LONG time.

What he didn't expect was that this time Haruno Sakura would actually do something about her current plight. She, from the looks of it, had slinked her way to the school grounds and had been successful in her stealth plan up until she reached their classrom. He would have congratulated her for at least trying so she would not end up getting bullied, but the thing is, he was too disappointed that she would up getting caught despite her efforts. More so, the booby traps he had set-up to save her from the monster is placed in a vicinity too far, far away from where she is.

Having no choice, he henged and made a poor (yes, a pitiful) replica of the Sandaime. He thought to used this so he would be able to cart away Sakura without her knowing it is him and without the bully knowing that it is him who did the foulsome deed. He was planning for a quick get away, but his mouth got the better of him. That body part just spouted out some words that are not even necessary given that it is an emergency situation causing for him to get caught not only by Iruka-sense, but also by Sakura and the bully.

Like any sane person would do, he fled with Sakura slung over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes.

When they have reached a safe hiding place , she demanded that he let go of her. Back on her feet, she yelled, "Are you trying to get us killed?!"

Naruto, taken aback of her reaction, simply stared at her. To say that he is speechless because of her ungratefulness is making a definite understatement.

Sakura huffed, shoving the mass of hair curtaining her face back to her hand with one hand. "I know you meant well but this'll just get worse because now you have included yourself. Didn't you even thought of that before you got yourself into this mess?"

Naruto really don't know what to make out of her. Shaking his head, he chuckled, "You are most welcome."

"You're weird," she said, frowning. She waved her hand in the air haphazardly, then continued, "Forget I said that. Anyways, don't come near me again."

"Can't promise you that," he replied cooly, as he checked out the conditions of his hands as they tend to be still wrinkly even after the henge had worn off.

"Why not?!" Sakura thundered. "Listen here, squint, you don't know what your getting yourself into," she poked him on the chest, "I am one of the notorious master mind of all the bullies here in Konoha."

Unable to help himself, Naruto burst out laughing. What she claimed to be is so hilarious in his point of view that he held one finger up to notify her that it might him awhile before he could get over his hilarity as he rolled there on the floor, clutching at his sides.

"I..."ngurk, snort, ngurk, ngurk "see..." ngurk, snort, ngurk.

His laughter finally trickled down to a few barely decipherable snorts. Wiping the tears out of his eyes, he composed himself and faced her still glaring countenance.

"I hate you," Sakura said, her voice full of venom.

Naruto just shrugged her off and turned his back on her. "See you around!"

There is but one thought that he had before he left her that day.

I love you.
