Camping Trip (Art is NOT mine)

Pack your things

-Naruto's P.O.V.-

I watched as Iruka-sensei pulled himself together while muttering to himself. He gave an angered look toward the direction Kakashi-sensei had gone before he looked at me. "You should tell Sasuke and Sakura our plans to go camping and be sure to remember to tell Sakura to ask Hinata and Kurenai too, alright?"
"Of course! I won't forget Dattebyo!"

- The Next Morning-

I met up with Sakura on the bridge and told her the plan, "Iruka-sensei and Kakashi-sensei said we can go camping this weekend!"
"I don't wanna go camping with a bunch of boys!"
"Don't worry they said that you can ask Hinata to come with us." I said as I raised my eyebrows up and down. She blushed and punched me in the head. "Baka!"
"We'll I'm sorry your such a raging bisexual, Sakura-Chan!"
"Shut up Naruto, don't act like I don't know about your crush on Sasuke-kun." I blushed, crossed my arms over my chest and looked away from her, "I don't have a crush on that jerk, Sasuke." "Sure Naruto, whatever you say." she responded sarcastically.

Sakura and I were so deep in conversation that we barely noticed Sasuke join us on the bridge, "Hi Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said like everyday. He waved at us and Sakura continued our conversation. The three of us were waiting for Kakashi-sensei as usual since he's always late, and as I was talking to Sakura I swear I noticed that Sasuke kept looking over at us with an angrier then normal face. I smiled and waved at him to try and make him feel better and to my surprise he actually looked less angry.

I used my hand to motion Sasuke over to sit with us. He thought about it for a moment before rolling his eyes and walking over to us. I filled him in on the camping trip and that Hinata was probably coming too. He said it was stupid to not use our spare time training, but I could tell that even he thought we needed a break. Sakura-chan and I then talked about what the four of us could do for fun on the trip. We decided that we would all pack our stuff and meet back here the next day, and Sasuke just nodded his head.

Kakashi-sensei finally showed up and told us everything we need to know about training today and packing our thing. "We'll train a little less today so that we'll have energy and the brain capacity to pack everything, because I know some of you are kinda forgetful." I don't know why but everyone looked at me as he said that last part.

-3rd person P.O.V.-

After training Kakashi let the kids go home to start packing. As soon as Sakura and Sasuke got home they started packing, but Naruto thought he would have enough time in the morning as long as he didn't sleep in. So he ate a instant ramen bowl and went to bed.

The Next Morning

Sakura and Sasuke woke up, grabbed their bags, and walked out the door, but Naruto had just woke up and was frantically throwing things in his bag. He packed everything he thought he needed and even double checked before he ran out the door. He met up with the other three at the same place the next morning like they planned. When Naruto arrived Sakura, Hinata, and Sasuke were already there. Sakura said Iruka had told her where to meet him and Kakashi at so she took the lead and everyone followed her to where Kakashi and Iruka were. When they got there Iruka was explaining the details of who would share tents and what time to eat to a rather uninteresting Kakashi. "Iruka-sensei!!!" Naruto yelled and ran up to Iruka. Naruto tackled Iruka in a hug and he almost fell over. Iruka had to regained his balance before he was able to hug Naruto back. "Alright let's go. The sooner we get there the sooner I can be in a tent and be alone." Sasuke said. "About that-" Iruka paused, "you and Naruto are gonna be sharing a tent." Sasuke sighed. "Just don't be loud, loser." Naruto looked at Sasuke and stuck his tongue out.

The group started walking. Sasuke and Naruto walked in the very front of the group, Sakura and Hinata walked behind them, and Kakashi and Iruka walked in the back.

In the middle of the walk Iruka noticed Hinata was more nervous then usual. She kept turning her head in multiple directions and kept her hands closed together in front of her chest. Sakura noticed this too, she looked at Hinata and tried to start conversation. Hinata looked more at ease and comfortable, but she was still nervous. "Is something wrong Hinata?" Sakura asked rather bluntly. "I'm nervous, I've never been camping before. What if we get lost or someone tries to attack us?" she started tensing up. "That's why Kakashi and Iruka-sensei are here, so they can protect and lead us, and even if someone were to attack us we're leaf shinobi we could kick anyones ass! But if those thoughts aren't enough comfort then I could hold your hand!" Sakura said with a smile while holding out her hand. Hinata happily took it and smiled back at her, "Thanks Sakura-chan, I feel a lot better." Hinata thanked her and squeezed her hand tighter. They both were blushing but didn't care to ask the other why, they just carried on conversation as normal. Iruka smiled and nudged Kakashi's arm. Kakashi looked back at him with a questioning look. Iruka pointed to Sakura and Hinata and Kakashi looked to where he was pointing. Iruka kept smiling, he was happy that his students were growing up and supporting each other. Kakashi watched Iruka smile and he couldn't help but to smile too. He was also glad his students were growing up plus Iruka's smile was contagious.
