Naruto: Ninja Academy

Chapter Nine - Fan Girl, Puppet Master and Sand Guy

Right now we're on our way to the Sand Village! The train is traveling along, the scenery quickly whizzing by the window, all just becoming one blur. "Is everyone feeling ok? I er-" Guy Sensei quickly halting, he isn't one to talk, he's literally turning green looking like he could vomit at any moment. We all look very cautiously at him, we don't exactly want him sicking on us. At least I'm not sitting too near him.

"We're all fine Guy Sensei, you should look at yourself first." Shikamaru states,

"Don't you worry about- me...I'm just-...fine" Guy Sensei says, mostly trying to reassure himself more than us. Guy gives him a thumbs up.

"If you say so..." Shikamaru raises one eyebrow, giving him a funny look.

Looking out the window I can see trees go by and different types of terrain...Mountains, flat ground, rivers, streams.

"Hey Guy Sensei, do you know how long it takes to get there?" I question, even though I know he's in no condition to talk,

"About-a...couple- of hours" He replies.

I let out a sigh. We have only been on here for about 15 minutes. I flick through pages of a magazine...theres nothing particularly interesting in it. We sit in silence for quite a while. Eventually I...slowly fall...asleep my eyelids slowly closing...

"Hello there Guy Sensei!" I sit up with a jolt and my eyelids open up to the most hilarious sight ever! A mini version of Guy bursts open into our compartment. He sure knows how to make an entrance! I rub my eyes to make sure that I'm not dreaming of Guys past. However the Guy-look-alike remains stood there flashing a huge smile at me.

"Hello there Lee!" They both exchange flashes of teeth and a series of thumbs up. Lee winks at me, which makes me cringe and blush at the same time. Errggh! Hinata sees this and gives me a sympathetic look whilst Choji lets out a huge laugh, not making an effort to hide this. What a best friend he is! I punch Choji in the arm which makes him wince and shut up. I avert my eyes to the ground so I don't get attacked by his winks. I can feel that my cheeks have burned up.

"So Guy Sensei this is your group I see..." Lee examines us all,

"This is what youth is all about!" I have no idea what he's going on about, but he is freaking me out and quite evidently my other friends too...with an exception to Guy Sensei.

"I am terribly sorry I haven't introduced myself, how rude of me! My name is Rock Lee. I train very hard with the help of Guy Sensei to become a splendid Ninja. My goal in life is to show everyone that I, too can become a splendid Ninja, even though I only use taijutsu and-." Rock Lee explains. Luckily Lee gets cut off by Guy, (I wouldn't be able to stand listening to Lee talk anymore),

"We have finally arrived at the Sand Village!" Guy announces relieved.

As a group we step off the train.

"Ok. Listen up everyone whilst we are here you will be lead by someone who knows there way around here-" Iruka says, but gets cut off,

"Your a bit early aren't you?" says a female voice coming from behind us.

We all turn around, standing there in front of us is three people, two boys and one girl. The girl is wearing a light purple knee length dress with long sleeves, black ninja sandals, and fishnet tights. She is holding a massive fan which is about the size of her, that has three purple dots in the middle. She is standing with one hand on her hip.

"Erm...We just came on time..." Iruka says.

"The names Temari, nice to meet you Leaf Ninja!" Temari smiles at us."Wow she's pretty..." Naruto mutters in awe, which he gets a whack in the head by Billboard brow.

"Yo I'm Kankuro." One of the other boys say, he steps forward and waves. He looks strangely like a cat with purple lines of face paint. Wearing an all in one black clothing, with cat ears at the top. His fingers have chakra strings coming off connected to a strange puppet like thing its quite scary actually. "I'm also known as the Puppet master."

"And I'm Gaara, Gaara of the Sand" the boy named Gaara says. He talks slow and quite low for someone his age. He has bright red hair and wears red clothing.

He has strange red writing on the top of his forehead....and no eyebrows. With black eyeliner ringing both of his eyes making his eyes look bold and placed on his back is a big sand gourd which looks extremely heavy.

"Well we're all going to be leading you around the Sand Village whilst you stay here." Temari announces.
