Tazuna, the bridge-builder whose name I suddenly remembered, then burst into a monologue about the situation his town was in, and being the type of person with an attention span of a 7 year old child, I immediately zoned out, fiddling with my fingers as if they were the most interesting thing to ever exist. There were more important things to think about that Tazuna's sob story, like how to stop Zabuza and Haku from dying, how to brush off accusations from Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi, and most importantly, how to make it to the end of the story-line.

I blanched as I realised Naruto's face was right in front of me, his nose a few millimetres from mine, as he asked, "Yo, [f.name]. Can you see if I become Hokage with your fortune-telling? I'm totally the Hokage in the future, right?" There were several things that happened after Naruto asked that:

1. I screamed.

2. Naruto screamed.

3. I slapped Naruto in the face.

4. Naruto screamed louder.

5. I screamed.

6. Sakura screamed.

7. Kakashi sighed.

Sasuke could feel his eyebrow twitch in frustration at the sight of the [colour] haired girl apologising profusely to Naruto, the latter sporting a large red hand-print on the side of his face. His usual scowl painted on his face, Sasuke slouched further into himself, wanting for this mission to be done and over with, as if he was the only one that wished for that.

You had stopped apologising to Naruto after the 15th time, before pondering whether or not to answer his question, 'If I tell Naruto that he will be Hokage, would he still work as hard as he did in the anime series? Or will he slack off?' Deciding that you liked, and I quote, 'A little sprinkle of drama in your life,' You just replied with a vague, "Eh, maybe. Maybe not. The future can change and the spirits haven't told me that, yet."

Naruto looked a bit too pleased at your vague answer, Sakura was struggling to keep a neutral face after nearly spluttering out a 'what', Kakashi merely looked amused, whilst Sasuke still had that annoying smirk on his face. You swore that one day. One day. You would wipe that condescending smirk off his face.

"Oh yeaaaahhh! Did you hear that, Sasuke?! I going to be the Hokage in the future." Naruto bragged, jumping around excitedly. Your [colour] eyes widening as you thought, 'I think I can see his ego inflating.'

"[f.name]-chan literally said maybe, Naruto!" Sakura interjected punching said boy in the back of the head, which then instantly halved Naruto's ego.

Just before Naruto was about to retort, no doubt with his phrase 'believe it', Sasuke quickly cut in, his voice cold and mocking, "If anyone is going to be Hokage, it's going to be me, you idiot."
