Rivals Or More? A SasuNaru Story

Chapter 4: Fight And Make up

Naruto POV

It's been a few weeks now, and Iruka Sensei hasn't arrived. Guess what? Our new sub teacher is that rude Sunglass Sensei who had oh so roughly pushed poor me into class on my first freaking day in front of everyone. His name is Etsuyo or something like that.

So, being who I am, I take full on revenge on him. I have been relentless, planning some Extra Special Pranks and deploying them each and every day. Kiba, now my trusted Partner in Crime has supported me in every step and I am so glad I have him.

To make it even more effective and increase the success rate, sometimes he sits next to me and Sasuke and frequently I sit next to him and Shino. It has been so much fun!

Stupid Sunglass Sensei didn't even find out who was pulling all the pranks for the first whole week. The class never sold us out; of course they didn't want to miss the Grand Entertainment Special Show we were presenting them.

I never got his name right. Come on, it is so weird and unlikeable that my brain doesn't want to remember it. I mean, last week, it happened like this:-

He was teaching about paper bombs and I was very interested in it. I didn't understand the part about the correct circumstances to launch one, so I raised my hand.

Surprised that I am actually paying attention for once, he takes a moment to respond. "Yes, Naruto."

"Hey Etsuyo Sensei. Can you please explain that part about launching the paper bomb once again?" I ask.

He explains it slowly and in detail and I finally get it. But then he adds, "My name is Ebisu, not Etsuyo." He looks calm and collected as always.

"But that name is so ugly, Sensei." I complain, serious. He should have argued with his parents to change his name. I mean, who would want such a ridiculous name?

I see a vein visible on his forehead now. "Then just call me Sensei."

"Can I call you Sunglass Sensei?" I ask innocently. I hear a few chuckles. Even Sasuke has a small smile which he is hiding.

"No, you can't." He grits out.

"But why?" I pout, disappointed.

"Just because." He is now a little red.

"That's not fair. I have decided. From now on, you are Sunglass Sensei." He glares at me."Oh, if you don't like it, I will modify it to Cool Sunglass Sensei. Now you ought to accept it." I say cheerily. Now there are more laughs.

"NARUTO!" He yells, and then I myself suppress a laugh. I mean he hasn't lost his cool ever since I met him. And seeing him all riled up is hilarious. "Get out! This behavior is intolerable." I just pout again and happily go out. That was the first time he punished me. And it wasn't the last.

The paper bombs had given me a cool idea for my latest prank. So the next day, I shared my idea with Kiba, hiding it from Sasuke since I knew he would not approve. Kiba found it excellent.

"Wow, Naruto! That's a genius plan. Dude, you are getting much better at this prank thing." He had said, fist pumping me.

So, we had managed to pilfer a couple of paper bombs from the Academy store room because of our awesome sneaking skills. After pleading Shikamaru for ten straight minutes and listen to him continuously complaining that "It's such a drag", we managed to gain the help of the lazy yet intelligent person.

He successfully modified the paper bombs to something great.

After launching them at our temporary Sensei, it burst into harmless but irritating loads of silver glitter. Surprise! He was fully covered in glitter. Even his black sunglasses! He looked like a ridiculous piece of diamond.
