A New Yet Similar Path

A Blonde's Confrontation Part 9

Sasuke sighed. 'How many times did I sigh before I joined this team? None…'

Sasuke turned to see that Naruto was grinning at a green Kakashi.

Flashback

Naruto was walking around the training field with Zabuza at about nine in the morning.

"They really freak me out Naruto…"

"You get used to them after a while, just don't let them near your clothes. If you do, you will regret it…"

Zabuza shivered. "I'd rather have that sadist as a wife."

"You mean Mitarashi? She doesn't seem that bad, plus she is attractive" Naruto said with a perverted grin that would make Jiraiya proud.

"Your godfather would be proud of you."

"Shut it…" Naruto said as he glanced behind him. "Sasuke's nearly here and Sakura isn't that far behind."

"That's my cue, and thanks for helping me set this up Gaki!" Naruto grinned.

"I haven't pulled any pranks in a long time, I was starting to go into a recession."

Zabuza nodded as he took off into the trees surrounding the training field.

Not long after, Sasuke walked into the field when Naruto tackled him to the ground.

"Sorry Sasuke, but you can't walk that way for a while…"

Sasuke nodded, knowing instantly what was going on.

"You two need to grow up Naruto!" Sakura called out not far from the two.

"Hey, it was Zabuza's idea, not mine. I just felt like he needed some help and his idea needed some refining.

"So, have you seen those Suna Nin lately?" Sakura asked the blonde, referring to the sand ninja they had met just the day before.

"No, but I'm going to warn you, stay away from them…"

"Why?"

"Just do it" the blonde said with a tone of finality.

"Do what Naruto?" Kakashi asked as he walked onto the training field with his book out as usual! Naruto suppressed a grin and kept his face in a scowl as the masked Jonin kept walking towards them when he disappeared in cloud of green smoke.

Naruto busted out laughing and was shortly joined by Sakura when Kakashi appeared from the smoke, completely green from head to toe.

Kakashi stared in horror when he saw that his book had been dyed by the smoke and was therefore ruined. Each page was a sold green color, no text.

Kakashi had never felt so saddened. 'Not another one! Why Kami why?!'

He sighed as he put the green book in his green pouch.

'It needs a proper burial…'

"Well then… Who's bright idea was this?" he asked in his lazy tone.

"Zabuza…" Sasuke said with a smirk.

"Yeah, I just helped out with this one. It was definitely worth it!"

"Well, I guess I won't be telling you the big surprise then…" Kakashi yawned.

"What? Did you sign us up for the Chunin exams or something?" Naruto asked as he stifled his own yawn.

'Damn it Kakashi! Those things are contagious!' Naruto yelled mentally.

"As a matter of fact, I did, but I doubt you want to so I guess I'll just be…"
