Chinatsu: Both Ninja and Wizard

Chapter 24

Third POV

I take it back. It won't take 'step by step'. Nah, this is worse. It's like doing a two-legged race while jumping in potato sacks with clumsy children. They are failing and everything is freaking everywhere. 

"Sasuke! This part of the lake is mine! Go get your own trash on your own side! This is mine!" Chinatsu shouts at Sasuke. She had a trash bag on her back and a sick with a sharp edge in her hand. 

"If you wouldn't take too long then I wouldn't have to," Sasuke says and Chinatsu lights up. Not in a good way, of course. "I am doing a perfect job at this! It's you who is going too fast!" She shouts and the trash bag on her back and the contents inside it light up in flames. She stabs the water and picks up more trash. "To get a better job you don't have to go fast, man!" She says once again and continues to do her job. Every time she picked off trash from the stick, she lit the trash on fire. 

Sasuke walked away anyway and sat with Kakashi. "Did you guys finish?" Kakashi questioned, his eyes fixated on the book in his hands. 

"Chinatsu didn't want me to help, so I left her alone," Sasuke said truthfully. How hypocritical can she get? She shows that she can instinctively show teamwork, yet here she is, not wanting to work with me... Geez, this girl is confusing... Sasuke thought hopelessly. 

Kakashi looked up for a second at Chinatsu before back at his book. "Chinatsu!" He called out, "Share the lake, why don't you?" 

"I can do it myself! I got this..." Chinatsu shouts back. Naruto hears this and stops working on his side of the lake next to Sakura. "Chinatsu..." He knew something was bothering her. It wasn't one of the days where she would get mopey about her brother. Something must have happened over the weekend after the sleepover. He rushed over to her immediately to figure out what happened. 

"Chinatsu, what's the matter?" He questioned. Chinatsu glanced at him for a second before going back to what she was originally doing. "Nothing, I'm perfectly fine," She continued her work, less angry this time. Naruto patted her back and went back to doing what he was doing. Unfortunately, he tripped on a rock. Now the current wasn't that fast, but it was fast enough to knock him over the edge of the lake, down the waterfall. He shrieked, almost girlishly, as he fell over the edge.  

Chinatsu burned the last piece of trash before running over to where Naruto fell, the pointy stick in her hand. She jumped off and reached out for Naruto. She grabbed him by the collar of his jacket. With the sharp-edged stick, she plunged it through the waterfall and it stuck through. They hung next to the waterfall.

"Is this going to be one of those days?" Chinatsu questioned. Naruto sighed. 

"I sure hope not..." 

Keep dreaming, Naruto.

After the lake, they arrive at this old ladies house. To pick her weeds out of her garden. Naruto being Naruto pulls everything out of the garden including the plants because of Sasuke. Sasuke wasn't doing much, just his job of picking out the weeds and such. Just his very being, Sasuke thinks that he's Oh-So-Great! How does Sakura even like a guy like him? 

Chinatsu was laying between Naruto and Sakura, lighting the weeds and plants on fire absentmindedly. She was bored out of her mind and exhausted so far even if it was only ten in the morning. 

"No! You're ruining my plants as well! I worked so! Hard! On! Them!" The old lady shouts smacking Naruto with her cane. "I'm! SOrry!" Naruto cried. 

Kakashi sighs. "We'll fix it..." Kakashi gives her an empty glass, only a bit of lemonade on the bottom. 

After fixing the old lady's garden, free of charge, the five ended the day walking dogs. Sakura got all the smaller dogs, there were only three of them. Sasuke got a medium sized dog. Naruto got the biggest dog out of all of them. Chinatsu, on the other hand, was wide awake now. Since there wasn't a dog for her to walk, Sakura was being stingy and didn't want to give Chinatsu a doggo, she was in the trees chasing birds. 

"Are you sure you can handle that dog?" Kakashi questioned Naruto. Naruto laughed. "It can't be that hard!" He scoffed. Oh, boy was he wrong. 

As soon as he said those words the big doggo got excited by seeing a squirrel and ran off to chase it. Naruto being dragged being the said doggo. Naruto, on the other hand, was trying to pull the dog to a stop. "Slow down! Wait for a second! Wait- no! Don't go in there! Bad dog! Bad dog!" Naruto shouts as the dog ran into a minefield.

The rest three on the ground grimaced as each mine went off along with shrieks of pain. Chinatsu had come down the tree to see what was going on. Few more explosions and the dog runs back out, unscathed. Naruto held onto the leash of the dog, which was somehow in tack, covered in black smoke. A fire was even started on the top of his head. Naruto groaned in defeat as he let the leash go and fell face first on the ground. 

The dog immediately went to go ran off but a whistle stopped the dog from going too far. Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura turned to Chinatsu. Chinatsu dropped to her knees and smacked them rapidly. "C'mere boy! C'mere!" She said in a baby voice. The good doggo bent down, ready to bounce, and wagged his tail. Chinatsu copied the dog's stance shaking her butt in the air. "And..." Chinatsu paused for a second. "GO!" She shouts and runs at the dog, the dog ran towards Chinatsu. 

When the two met in the middle the dog rolled on his back, Chinatsu started rubbing his belly. "Who's a good boy? You are! Yes, you are!" Chinatsu cooed.  

The three watched confusingly. "What was that all about?" Sakura questioned, the two next to her shrugged. "You don't know?" Naruto question tiredly from his spot. "She's really good with dogs. Sometimes she even becomes the dog," All the other doggos got excited from watching the two play that they joined in. 

Kakashi left to go sit in the tree to read his book. "You three can rest, the dogs can get exercise with Chinatsu." Sasuke was the first to go sit by the tree, Sakura following after. 

"Thank you, Kakashi-sensei..." Naruto whispered as Chinatsu's screams of joy faded out for him. He passed out in his spot on the ground. 

Ok, maybe it's not that bad...
