Confidence Acquired

A/N Up early this week hope you enjoy the little comical scene.

disclaimer I do not own naruto nor do i profit from writing this.

---------------------------------

The day dawned brightly with the morning’s light filtering into the sleepy shinobi’s windows. Naruto tossed in bed trying to avoid waking up for as long as possible but inevitably his stomach growled and forced him to return from the land of dreams. Blue eyes blinked open staring at the back of his bed mates head. Sasuke had come back rather late last night Naruto realized. The Uchiha hadn’t even taken his shirt off before slipping into bed.

“Oh you’re up”

Naruto sat up and watched as Kakashi towelled his damp hair off. “Ya but bastards still sleeping. He’s so lazy.”

“I heard that Dobe”

Gah! Bastard when did you!?”

“Your stomach is worse than Sakura’s alarm, Dobe.” Sasuke replied sitting up and swinging his legs off the bed. Sakura had found a miniature alarm clock on one of her missions and she seemed to go nowhere without it. It made a loud and piercing whistle and then would beep repeatively until someone turned it off. Both Sasuke and Naruto agreed that it was the single most heinous timepiece in existence and had tried numerous times to rid the world of its evil.

“Bastard” Naruto walked across the room towards the bathroom Kakashi had just vacated. He slammed the door closed and preceded to take a shower.

Sasuke rubbed the sleep from his eyes. His jaw clenched and resisted the urge to yawn. A Uchiha did not yawn, nope never. He thought as his mouth opened and air escaped his lips in a sound very similar to a yawn, but obviously it wasn’t a yawn.

~~~

The sound of Sakura’s evil alarm clock bounced off the bedroom walls. She rolled over and clicked the trinket off. “Mmm, Hinata it’s time to get up” Her groggy eyes looked over to the other side of the bed to find it empty.

Hinata walked back into the room her hair pulled back in a tight bun and her clothes clinging to her body. Hinata was already up and had been up since before dawn Sakura assumed by the amount of dirt and sweat clinging to the girl. “Getting in some early morning training”

Hinata froze and turned her gaze from gathering bath supplies. “Oh. Yes Sakura-san”

“You should have woken me up I would have come with you”

“That’s ok Sakura-san “Hinata smiled “you were sleeping very well I didn’t want to wake you” She grabbed her stuff and entered the bathroom

Sakura grabbed a clean pair of clothes and tossed them on. She wondered what mischief her boys were up to at the moment. She wandered down the hallway towards Sasuke’s Naruto’s and Kakashi’s room. The door was slightly open so she let herself in. “today looks like a wonderful day to go job hunting!” She said cheerfully leaning on the window sill and looking out over the slowly waking village. “It’s a shame that we can’t go on a picnic don’t you think Sasuke? I bet even your uncle couldn’t disagree with lazing in the sun all day!”

Sasuke glanced at her in response, raising an eyebrow. It was too early in the morning to be deciphering her female mind.


“I’m sure a lot of the villagers are thinking the same thing.”

Sasuke nodded catching onto her train of thought. Villagers scattered throughout the field with their families would make it easy to gather information. “If we find a job quickly today maybe we can all meet in the field for a picnic.”

Naruto towelled his hair off “Oi! Oi! Can we bring ramen?”

Sakura placed her finger to her lip in thought “How would we heat the ramen up little brother? No I think I’d make some sandwiches”

“What do you think Hinata?” Kakashi’s eye went to the door where Hinata stood watching the group quietly.

“w-we really should get jobs. It‘s early Spring. I’m sure there will be other days.” Hinata shifted her feet and slipped into the room closing the door behind herself. Naruto frowned he had wanted to go on a picnic maybe Hinata wasn’t as fun as he thought. “But…”

Naruto looked up; the dark haired girl was shifting her weight from foot to foot. “Eh…?”

Hinata glanced up and smiled “I think a Picnic would be a great incentive to do our best”

“Alright! Awesome Hinata-Chan!” Naruto threw his arms around the small woman. Carrying her around the room and proudly repeating “picnic, picnic” over and over again.

Hinata’s face went red, and redder. She was being hugged by Naruto! Not only that Naruto wasn’t wearing a shift and Hinata could feel his toned chest being pressed against her chest as he squeezed her tighter in an embrace. “N-Naruto-kun?”

Sakura watched and laughed at the child like behaviour of her friend. It was even more hilarious to know he was oblivious to the blush on Hinata’s face. The girl looked to be getting close to fainting now though. Sakura cracked her knuckles drawing the gazes of Sasuke and Kakashi. Her fist met hard skull and the chant of picnic ended.

“Awww Sakura Chan what was that for?” Naruto rubbed the new welt on his head.

“You were suffocating poor Hinata “Sakura argued

Naruto opened his mouth to protest but promptly shut it at the glare from the pink haired medic-nin.

Hinata stumbled backwards a few steps she looked shyly at Naruto, a blush continuing to redden her cheeks.

“Let’s get breakfast” Kakashi spoke putting his infamous little book away.
