Sleepless in Konoha

Sorry it took so long for this chapter to come out!! I’ve been really busy lately and have a bunch of stories I’m working on right now, so please forgive the slow updating!!


Chapter 5

‘Damn it!’ Naruto growled at himself as he headed to the training grounds. ‘Why do I always walk in on such embarrassing moments?! I just wanted to talk to Iruka-Sensei for a minute, not him and Kakashi kissing!!’ Sighing heavily he waited several minutes before Sakura showed up, looking flushed.

“No Sasuke?” Sakura asked, Naruto shook his head and she sighed in relief. “Hopefully he won’t show up at all.” She muttered darkly.

“So…what’s with you and the old man anyway?” He asked casually, keeping a close eye on her reaction, ready to start running if she decided to attack.

“I…don’t really know yet…” She frowned, glancing over at him she shifted slightly. “It just sort of…happened.” Naruto slung his arm around her shoulders, smiling crookedly at her.

“You don’t have to explain. Its kinda strange, but whatever.”

“Thanks, Naruto.” She smiled at him, grateful that her friend was alright with her choice in men.

“So tell me,” Naruto started, grinning devilishly at the pink haired kunoichi. “You slept with him right? How was it?”

“Naruto!!!” She gasped punching him on the arm. Laughing the spiky-haired ninja began running away from Sakura as she chased after, her face red with embarrassment.

“Hey there!!” Shikamaru yelled at the two of them, Choji following close behind. “What did Naruto do now?” He asked with a smile. Sakura stopped, turning to watch the two of them come closer to the clearing.

“Uh…well…” Sakura started, blushing profusely as Naruto hurried over to greet his friends.

“I grabbed her butt!!” Naruto stated unabashed, linking his hands behind his head. The other two men burst out laughing, Sakura threw Naruto a grateful look before racing at the two laughing ninjas intending to pummel them. The four of them ended up fighting playfully while they waited for their instructors to show up.

Ino showed up while Sakura had managed to get Naruto in a headlock. “Hey Ino!!!” The blond ninja shouted, waving her over. She trotted over giving them an amused look.

“What are you two doing here?” She asked curiously.

“Kakashi-Sensei had us meet here for training.” Sakura explained while letting her companion go. “He hasn’t shown up yet though, late as usual.”

“That’s kinda strange,” Ino started as Naruto and Shikamaru started battling, Choji was just resting against a tree eating as usual. “Asuma-Sensei is having us train here, I wonder if they planned for us to train together or if it was just an accident?”

“Maybe they just wanted to try something different.” Sakura suggested as their two Senseis walked towards the five of them, chatting together.

“HEY!!!” Naruto yelled at Kakashi. “Why are you late today?” He asked, raising his eyebrows at the white-haired ninja, grinning as he saw a slight pink tint appear above the mask hiding his expression.

“Sorry!” He gave him his trademark eye crinkle, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. “Got caught up with Asuma here…lost track of the time.”

“Uh-huh! Sure you did! You always have lame excuses Kakashi-Sensei!!” Naruto complained before turning back to the assembled students. ‘Whew!’ Kakashi thought to himself. ‘He sure knows how to get to me, I thought for sure he was going to expose my secret there! At least he doesn’t seem bothered by it.’

“Hmm…where’s Sasuke?” Kakashi asked curiously.

“Humph!!” Sakura snorted angrily. “If I never see him again it will be too soon!!” With that she crossed her arms over her chest and walked away slightly. Ino hurried foreward, trying to find out why her friend was so upset.

“Uh…” Naruto started, frowning slightly. “They had some kinda argument, she wouldn’t tell me what about.” Shrugging, unconcerned he turned to the two Senseis. “So what are we doing today?”
