Chapter One: I am the #1 Ninja

The streets of Konoha were bustling. Housewives were hurrying around with shopping bags and toddlers hanging onto their arms. Shopkeepers were yelling out their wares and calling insults to their competitors.

One person, however, was walking around slowly and lazily. Yamanaka Ino was bored. Her shift at the flower shop was over and Asuma-sensei had canceled training for the day. She could stalk Sasuke, but at the moment, her radar couldn't pick him up. She had nothing to do but laze around until her parents called her home for dinner. She felt like Shikamaru. Maybe she should go stare at the clouds.

Slowly, she walked out of the main area of town, into a more secluded area, where indeed, good cloud-watching areas existed. There, she saw the love of her life, Sasuke.

Sasuke was sitting on a large rock, eating animal crackers. Apparently, he had not sensed her yet, as he did not get up and run away. He seemed to be preoccupied with something as he talked to himself.

Ino decided that this would be a good time to try out her new jutsu. Sneaking up behind him, she whispered, "Shinwanshin no jutsu". Immediately, she felt her body go slack as she entered Sasuke's mind.


It was dark… and scary. Ino shivered as a cold wind blew across her body. There was only one source of light. She walked towards it and lo and behold, Sasuke was sitting on a chair. He was repeating something over and over again.

"I am the number one ninja."

"I am the number one ninja."

"I am the number one ninja."

"I am the number one ninja."

"I am the number one ninja."

"I am the number one ninja."

"I am the number one ninja."

"I am the number one ninja."

"I am the number one ninja."

"I am the number one ninja."

Then,

"I must avenge my family."

"I must avenge my family."

"I must avenge my family."

"I must avenge my family."

"I must avenge my family."

"I must avenge my family."

"I must avenge my family."

"I must avenge my family."

"I must avenge my family."

"I must avenge my family."

At this point, Ino was a little bored. "Is this what he thinks of the entire day? What happened to saying "I love Ino" repetitively?"

"I must kill Itachi."

"I must kill Itachi."

"I must kill Itachi."

"I must kill Itachi."

"I must kill Itachi."

"I must kill Itachi."

"I must kill Itachi."

"I must kill Itachi."

"I must kill Itachi."

"I must kill Itachi."

Ino was drawing hearts in the air when Sasuke finally stopped.

"Ok, I repeated all of my dreams, or rather "ambitions"," Sasuke chuckled, "I remember that, that was a good one, I made a good impression."

Ino was flabbergasted. Did Sasuke just chuckle?

"Now, I have to go meet my team at the bridge. I'll be first to arrive. Then, Sakura-chan will come. She'll say, "Hi Sasuke-kun." I'll look away. Oh yes, I'm the man, like my dad used to say, "A woman is attracted to a man who doesn't know that she exists." OH DAD! I MISS YOU AND MA SO MUCH!"

Ino's mouth dropped a few inches further. Did Sasuke say Sakura-chan and was he crying?

Sasuke sniffed and began again,

"Ok, then, Naruto will come, he'll say, "Hi Sakura-chan" and then he'll say, "Sasuke bastard." I'll look at him and say, "You're late." No, that sounds like I was waiting for him to come. How about, "Late as always, dobe." Yeah, that's intimidating but vague. Battle plans ready, here we go now, ONWARD!"

Ino had heard enough. She left Sasuke's mind just as he was nearing the bridge.


She returned to her own body, to find her mother and father crying over her motionless form and medical-nins checking her pulse. She opened her eyes and said, "I'm OK, mom. You're embarrassing me." Slowly she got up, and walked away in a sudden bright burst of sunshine, never to be seen again.
