Shinobi Secrets

Disclaimer … I don't own Naruto or any of these characters... Which makes me a very sad girl... because if I owned Naruto there would be a lot more free cable than anyone could handle.

-- Free Cable: A very odd term my sister and I use for yaoi. Ninjas make good friends.. they can jump from roof to roof and get you free cable.. ;)

Chapter 1

The Flaky Date

Kakashi leaned against a tree at the training grounds, reading his favorite hentai manga. Sakura stood nearby, cheering on Sasuke as he sparred with Naruto. Naruto dodged clumsily to the right, barely missing the expertly thrown kunai. He had only enough time to think, "Sasuke bastard is getting better... I have to try harder!" The black haired Shinobi threw another set of throwing knives at NarutoSasuke stared at his opponent as Naruto exploded with a massive amount of chakra in order to deflect the kunais. However, one slipped through his guard, cutting his sleeve and revealing a mass amount of bandages. Seeing the bandages Sasuke was caught completely off guard, allowing Naruto a quick cheap shot to his ribs.

Kakashi sensed Sasuke's hesitation and looked up from his book. "You two are done for the day, great job. Go home and get some rest."

Sakura stepped forward and smiled. "You were amazing today Sasuke-kun! Dead Last couldn't have kept up with you in a million years!" She scooted right up against Sasuke's side and looked up into his eyes. "Sasuke-kun… Would you like to go on a date with me?"

Sasuke looked down at her, keeping his face static. "I'd rather cut my own foot off."

Sakura's eyes filled with tears, and she thought "Just you wait… I'll get you yet! HELL YEAH!" . "Oh…Okay... well... I'll just be going home then." She turned and ran down the path, tears streaming behind her.

Naruto walked up behind Sasuke and asked in a completely even tone, "Would you like to go to the ramen stand with me?" Sasuke took this as an occasion when Naruto wanted to talk, which wasn't very often when it came to Sasuke.

"Whatever, let's go. But I'm not paying."

Naruto pouted slightly at the last bit but shrugged and headed down that path anyway, Sasuke close behind him.

Ten Minutes Later…At The Ramen Stand

Naruto plopped down on his favorite seat and quickly ordered Miso ramen for himself and Beef for Sasuke. He turned and patted the stool next to himself, then looked intently back at his ramen being prepared. Sasuke sat down and scowled. Every time he was around Naruto he was forced to consume vast amounts of ramen, he wondered how Naruto was able to eat the noodles everyday and not puke.

Two steaming bowls were placed in front of them. Naruto didn't even hear when the owner of the stand told them to 'eat up', he already was, and his slurping could be heard on the other side of Konoha. Naruto guzzled the salty broth as he was already done with his first bowl. Sasuke stared at his bowl, "Naruto really is a glutton" he thought, "I've barely started on my first bowl and he's already on his…" He looked at Naruto and shook his head, "fourth! I'm so glad I'm not paying…"

Sasuke finished his second bowl and leaned back a little, disgusted at how much he had eaten. He glanced at Naruto's tower of empty bowls and felt himself start to get sick. He looked at Naruto and realized that it was no longer him - it was a log. The Ramen stand's owner cleared his throat and Sasuke looked up quickly, seeing the fire in his eyes. "So, Mr. Uchiha... cash or credit?" Sasuke's eyes went wide and he reached for his back pocket.

"Cash…"

I just figured it was time to move it to my account.

Sorry if there was any confusion.
