Twenty: Picture Perfect

Dickless Strikes

Sai gets up from his bed and finds a scroll on his nightstand.

"This has Kakashi-sensei written all over it." he says picking it up and opening it.

Sai

You and Naruto meet me at the Training Grounds around noon. I know it's a day off for you both but there are a few things I want to go over with you two that will probably benefit you on future missions.

Kakashi Hatake

"Yep. I knew it was from Kakashi-sensei. But I wonder what type of training he is about to put me and Dickless through." Sai thinks to himself before getting up and gathering his gear.

He looks over at the clock to see its only 10 o'clock. Guess I'll go wake up Naruto and go grab a bite to eat before meeting with Kakashi-sensei."

He grabs his new sword which resembles a rapier that he got from Tenten. She told him it was a gift from someone and that it made him look much cooler. 'I wonder who would think of me that way.'

He shrugs it off and gathers his scrolls and locks his door on the way out of his apartment.

Walking through the streets of Konoha, he greets the villagers as they pass by with his "smile". He passes by the Yamanaka Flower shop and sees Ino at the counter reading a magazine. She looks up and sees him.

He waves too her and smiles genuinely.

When she smiles and waves back at him, however, a warm sensation fills his face. He hurriedly turns and keeps walking towards Naruto's but this time at a quicker pace.

'What the heck was that?'

He knocks at Naruto's door still deep in thought. He doesn't notice that Naruto answered the door and his calling his name. Sai goes to knock on the door again and knocks on Naruto's forehead.

"Ow! You bastard! What the hell was that about?!" Naruto snaps.

Sai looks at him surprised but emotionless. "Oh. Hey Naruto. Sorry about that. Came to see if you wanted to grab something to eat before training with sensei."

He then raises an eyebrow.

"You're actually up early?"

Naruto scratches the back of his head. "Yeah. I actually set an alarm to get up early so I could get some training in."

"Well look at you Dickless. You may actually have some balls." Sai says folding his arms and smirking.

Naruto's eye twitches at him. 'He's worse than Teme.'

'Doubt it.'

'What the...? Teme?'

'Inner Teme.'

'I have an Inner Teme?'

'It's more like a voice in your head.'

'The voice in my head is Teme?'

"Dickless you're talking to yourself!!!" Sai says getting irritated. "Let's go. Baka."

Sai and Naruto walk to Ichiraku's to grab some ramen to eat. On their way they run into Sakura and Hinata. Hinata sees Naruto and instantly blushes. Sai notices and smirks at Naruto. "Hello Ugly. Hello Weirdo." He says.

Hinata deadpans and Sakura fumes.

"Sai how many times have I told you to stop calling me that?" Sakura snaps.

Sai thinks, "Quite a bit. But not one time did you ask me to stop."

Sakura's eyes widen. "Well...uh...Sai could you please stop calling me ugly."
