Debate Team (sasunaru/narusasu)

|| Chapter Twenty Six ||

Naruto stood still, taking in what Sasuke had just told him. Everything he said seemed to be sincere... But still, this could be another one of his stupid pranks.

He looked up and narrowed his eyes at Sasuke when he remembered they were holding hands. "Gah! What do you think you're doing bastard?!" He gasped, yanking his hands away from Sasuke's grip. "Did you get hit over the head or something?! I understand you hate me but this..." He shook his head. "This is going too far."

"What? This isn't a prank. I'm serious." Sasuke glared. He felt frustrated, Naruto wasn't believing anything he said. "Look... I know it may be hard for you to believe this isn't a prank after everything I've done to you so I'll just prove it to you, okay?"

Naruto eyed him suspiciously before deciding he'd believe him for now. He huffed. "Fine."

Naruto scooted down towards the window so he'd be closer to the window. He sat there in silence, staring back at Sasuke, waiting for him to leave. When he didn't, he spoke up, "You can go now...?"

A small smile grazed Sasuke's lips as he slid closer to Naruto and closed his eyes. "No thanks; didn't I promise you that I'd prove to you that I'm serious about being friends?"

Naruto's eyes slowly widened. "Friends..? You didn't say anything about being friends. You said you wanted me to forgive you."

Sasuke glanced over his shoulder. "Same thing." He shrugged, shutting his eyes closed again.

Naruto scowled but didn't push the topic further, Sasuke was too stubborn to listen to him anyway. He wasn't going to allow himself to forgive him anyway.

Mr. Hatake stepped into the bus making everyone quiet down as they were waiting to hear the news that they would be leaving. "Is everyone here? Tenten can you count, we're supposed to be ten, not including me."

"Sure." Tenten raised her head from her seat next to Ino and counted everyone one by one. "Yeah, that's everyone."

Mr. Hatake nodded. "Alright, we just have to wait for Yamato, he's coming along if you guys didn't know." He turned and walked up to the bus driver that was hired to dive them. "Suna high school please."

•💙🧡•

All twelve of them stepped off the bus and stared up at the huge school, a long staircase leading up the entrance. "Wow, this is Suna?" Sakura asked, gaping.

Mr. Hatake and Yamato approached them. "Mhm. Follow me." Kakashi said, motioning them to follow him with his hand as he started to walk up to the school. He led them through the building, going through hallways, down stairs and finally, they arrived at the cafeteria. "We're here. Let's sit."

Naruto grinned and followed after Kakashi as he looked around at all the other students who were already seated. A lot of them looked very formal, as they were wearing suits which didn't help the intimidating aura they gave off.

"Make sure to sit next to your partners so you can prepare questions together," Kakashi said, taking a seat at an empty table that had another empty table next to it since everyone wouldn't be able to fit in one.

Naruto glanced towards Kiba and walked over to him. "C'mon Kiba." He grabbed his wrist by instinct to pull him to a chair but Kiba yanked his hand away. Naruto frowned but didn't say anything about it, he just sat down and Kiba followed.

Naruto glanced at Kiba who had a poker face on as he opened his binder. Feeling a pair of eyes on him, Kiba glanced at Naruto. "Are you going to help get some questions ready or not?"
