Love is Difficult (Discontinued)

Chapter 2

Naruto P.O.V

When I had finally, finally heard those words, I shot my head up and waited for my name. I'll finally be on a team. A team that will hopefully like me, and me for me. Maybe, just maybe, the Sensei of my team will even like me too. Well, all I can do right now is to think positive.
"...Na..to!..Nar..t...NARUTO!" Iruka-sensei yelled.
He snapped me back to reality. I looked straight at him with a dumbfalled face. Iruka scolded" Naruto, listen for your team or else you won't be able to know your sensei or your team members. Understood?"
I replied"Yes, sensei"
Everyone was sort of suprised by this response because I didn't back talk, and neither or my famous quote " Believe it!". But I really didn't care anymore because I'll be on a team, and, hopefully, away from these "better" ninjas'. I pretended to listen to Iruka-sensei but I was just spacing out.

"...Team 7, Naruto Uzumaki.."
I started to listen to what Sensei was saying, and to whom I have as team members. Iruka continued"Sakura Hanura, and Saskue Uchia" I deadpanned at my members. For one, I can't STAND any Fangirls, and another thing is, is that I can't stand an obnoxious people. Like how Sasuke is. Wait, since I already have a team...Do I still have to wear a mask, or can I just be myself? I wonder if I should because the Old man, the Hokage, told me at a very young age

5 years ago( Naruto is 5years old)

"Naruto, my young boy, you're like a grandson to me. Please, I ask of you, I need you to wear a mask so the villagers will be deceived and won't suspect of you being smart or clever. So, they won't attack you like you were before...Naruto I'm sorry I couldn't be there before.." he started to tear up a bit. I wiped his tears with my tiny thumb, and said" It's alright, you're here now so that's what matters, right?"
He was always amazed at how intelligent I was at a very young age, too. And he never ceases to be amazed. He smiled and responded sincerely "Yes, my boy, if only you weren't born with that demon, you would've been a amazing prodigy!"
I've never been able to talk with the beast that lives within me, maybe later on I'll be able to. I smiled widely at him, a real smile. He always seems to make me smile. But I guess the Hokage wasn't finished, he continued" But you can show your true self when you're able to introduce yourself to your teammates"

Back to the present
I smiled while thinking back about that memory. But was he really serious when he said that, or was he just saying that to look forward to now? Well, he said that and I'll just do what I feel like doing. Heh, I've been hiding behind a mask for a long time, and I for one, almost forgot how it was to be myself. This Naruto that I'm "acting" to be is a believer, idiot, and just doesn't listen to anyone. But the real person I am is intelligent, skilled, and very handsome; if I don't say myself.

But enough thinking, and back to reality. I've decided to just be myself because if I have to use my mask one more time, I think I'll be sick. So, I just sat there not reacting at all. But the one question that was on my mind was, who's our sensei?
