The Red Flash of Konoha

Ninja of the Leaf

​Nyoko Namikaze Point of View

I sat next to Shino, one of the three sane un-annoying people within this class. Just watching as Iruka sensei walked in with a tied up Naruto and proceeded to scold. The dumby lived up to his blond hair that was for sure. A pathetic excuse for a ninja, why was he even in this class? I let out a soft sigh, he was an orphan as well, with the way he was there was no way he is related to me. I felt bad for him, he was an orphan, he had nobody. At least I had Sasuke for the last six or so years. Naruto was being treated terribly by everyone in the village. Like I was and still am. Adults still give me that look. I figured it was because they knew about the seal on my stomach. I placed a hand over it, gripping at the mesh fabric that I wore above it. At least Naruto didn't have the cursed thing in him.

"..Fine! Because you missed it, Naruto, everyone will check the transformation jutsu!" Iruka yelled, pointing at the entire class, causing us all to groan. That ninny was wasting everyone's time why was he even here?

Getting into a line between the annoying blond and Sasuke. Sakura Haruno was up first, the little moron had no instinct when it came to actual fighting, she was smart when it came to the books, but when it came to fighting, she was lacking severely. Not someone I would want too be on a team with.

Of course she perfectly transformed into Iruka, then turned around once praised to Sasuke, "Sasuke, did you see that?" She questioned, being desperate to get noticed.

I elbowed Sasuke's side watching him be called up next going before me. Now he was someone I'd be perfectly fine with having on a team, even preferably. He was smart, but had the instinct to fight, and was good at it. A bit slower than I was but he made up for it in his own way. He was the second fastest in the class, after me of course. I looked to everyone in the line who else would be a good fit? Not Naruto, the doofus wasn't much when it came to instinct or brains. Shikamaru, he was the total opposite of Naruto, smart, and lazy. Always taking his time, which I wouldn't mind, but with Sasuke or I he was just to slow, I doubt he'd keep up with either of us on our good days. Ino Yamanaka, she was smart a better fighter than Sakura, but not by much. Shino, he was a smart fighter, he was sneaky when it came down to it. He would be an alright fit for a teammate, Kiba, he was like Naruto, loud. But Kiba wasn't the best when it came to strategy, but he is a good fighter, that was for sure, him and Akamaru would be my third choices as a teammate, after Shino and Sasuke. Hinata, well. I didn't know anything about her. Aside from what everyone knew. She was of the Hyuga clan, one of the oldest, along with the Uchiha clan.

"Nyoko Namikaze" Walking up, taking the place of Sasuke, I placed my hands together in the sign, not uttering a word as I transformed, into Iruka perfectly. It was a basic jutsu, it wasn't a hard thing to do.

"Good" He praised, writing it down in his notes. I then went back to my seat. A note flying in front of me, I knew already who it was from, Sasuke. Opening it up it read;

Sushi for dinner?

I wrote back on it;

Sure my treat, who would the third teammate be?

I then tossed it back, sending it flying quickly, in time to see Naruto turn into a girl, that had clouds covering her bits, what-the-hell. I closed my eyes pinching the top of my nose in frustration. That idiot!

At the end of class, Sasuke and I walked out of the academy, once we were out of the academy we bolted quickly, to ditch his little fans. Making it to the training grounds, where we always trained. For our warm up we practice our hand to hand combat, throwing punches, kicks and blocking each other. At this point we didn't need to focus on it we could evade and attack each other as we weren't going try-hard at the moment, just going easy. As we talked.

"I don't think I'd be able to deal with anyone else on our team" he stated, answering my written question.

I smiled, blocking his punch before he could hit my stomach, "I don't know Shino, Kiba and Shikamaru, seem to be decent, Kiba is loud, Shikamarus is lazy."

"Shino is creepy" Sasuke added his thoughts.

I shrugged, "Well, who would you not want on the team?"

"Fan-girls" He retorted, with disgust.

We go on like this for a while, stepping up to actually fighting, throwing jutsu's at each other, him able to get me under a genjutsu for ten minutes, before I bit my lip making myself bleed. Going at it till it got dark. Ending up sitting at my balcony with some sushi sitting on my table as we sat and ate.

"If we're for whatever reason not on the same team" I started, but I stopped at him rolling his eyes, I narrowed my eyes at him, "I'll knock those out of your skull, keep it up"

He smirked, taking another bite of his food, "You're not getting sentimental now are you?"

I rolled my eyes this time, "Suppose I am, is it so wrong, to make sure, the slim chance if we're not on a team, that we still make time for sushi?" plopping an eel cumber role in my mouth.

"There will always be time for sushi, rice balls and tomatoes" He stated simply, "I'd assume you'd be the one buying the sushi, as usual"
