Canon!Sasuke's Outfit Sucks, So I Changed That

As the matches went on, Sakura was boiling in her seat. Naruto was concerned that Sasuke might not get to restore his clan if he keeps testing Sakura, regardless if he makes it on time or not. Karin, bless her soul, went out to get them some snacks and Naruto bore witness to Sakura biting her ice cream angrily as they watched Temari kick Shikamaru's ass. Crazy woman ended up chewing half her stick before realizing and throwing it away.

"Uh...we could prank Sasuke and Kaka-sensei for being late if you want...." And the absolute maniacal grin that Sakura got on her face was all the answer Naruto needed. The trio sneaked out of the arena and bought themselves some red paint. They returned to their assigned seats, opened the cans of red paint and made the late team members pay. Then they hid the evidence under the seats. 

Watching Sakura laugh like an evil scientist after they painted the seats made Naruto think he lowkey saved Sasuke from a painful castration. Then again this is Sakura were talking about, she might castrate him regardless.

Shikamaru's match against Temari ended when the Nara quit. The blonde really did not like that, but ended up walking back to her seat in order to not cause a scene. There was a ten minute break during which Shino and Ino got to their waiting rooms. Genma was about to announce the third match when a tornado of red and yellow dry leaves appeared in the middle of the arena. The tornado revealed a black haired genin and his white haired sensei.

"Well well, look who it is, the tardy twins." said Genma unimpressed.

Kakashi opened his mouth to say some lame one liner when an enraged yell interrupted him. "THERE YOU ARE, YOU NO GOOD LATE WAKING SNAILS! IF YOU WERE EVEN 10 MORE MINUTES LATE I WOULD HAVE BEEN FORCED TO SEVERELY TRAUMATIZE YOU! GET YOUR ASSES UP HERE BEFORE I CASTRATE YOU BOTH!" yelled an enraged Sakura being held back by Naruto. Who was also being held by Karin, as the cousins tried to get the pinkette to her seat.

Genma sweatdropped. "I would scold you...but something tells me your kunoichi has it covered."

Sasuke offered the proctor for the third round a glare before exiting the arena with his sensei. Kakashi climbed the stairs as slowly as possible, trying to delay the inevitable. Sasuke rolled his eyes at his sensei as he sped up the stairs. Unlike his teacher, he was perfectly aware that slowing down will only enrage Sakura more. He was her training partner after all...

Once he reached the top, he carefully walked through the rows until he reached his team and Karin. Naruto happily walked past the girls to greet Sasuke. He happily pretend that he didn't feel Sakura's eyes bore holes into his head as he listened to Naruto talk about his fight with Neji. While he talked to Naruto, Kakashi finally arrived and Sakura took the first chance at scolding him. As the team medic was scolding their resident lazy sensei, Naruto leaned in to whisper something to Sasuke.

"You should thank me for making sure Sakura-chan consumes her anger on Kaka-sensei and doesn't decapitate you before your match."

"Hn."

"I accept payment in Ichiraku Ramen." added Naruto. The Uchiha rolled his eyes at that. Eventually Sakura got tired of kicking Kakashi's shins and redirected her attention to Sasuke. She glared at him as he stood there stoically. 

Sakura smirked at him. "I would yell at you too, but I'm pretty sure the absolute beatdown you're going to receive in the arena is enough."

Sasuke huffed. "Bold of you to assume you're gonna win."

The team then returned to their seats to watch the match. Suddenly, Karin yelled. "Naruto that's the wrong seat." Both Naruto and Sasuke jolted up as they felt the wet paint through their pants.
