After I got ready and put some comfy yet athletic clothes on, I got out and met Sasuke on my way to the park. Once I saw him, I called out, "Hey Duck Butt!"
"Could you be any louder?" He was in his usual grumpy mood.
"SURE!!"
"Dobe, I didn't actually mean it."
"Ready for me to kick your ass today?"
"Hn. We'll see about that."
When we got to the park, we saw around 8 other people, including Guy-sensei, Lee and Kakashi-sensei. Wait, Kakashi-sensei??!! Why the hell is he here?! Sasuke and I exchanged surprised looks. We also saw a woman with long blonde hair, a short guy with red hair, a guy with deeper red hair, a blue-skinned guy that looked like a shark, and a guy with long, raven hair that looks like Sasuke's brother, Itachi. Wait, that is Itachi! I stole a glance at Sasuke. At first, he seemed angry, but then a smirk crawled up his face.
"Welcome, everyone! I am Might Guy, and I thank you all for being here! Before we start burning our flames of youth, let us introduce ourselves! As you know, I'm Might Guy."
Kakashi-sensei went next. "I'm Kakashi Hatake." I wanted him to talk about his Icha-Icha addiction.
Then Lee went. "I am Rock Lee, and I am the proud student of Might Guy!"
Then the blonde-haired woman went. "Hey there, I'm Deidara." The deepness of his/her voice made me jump. "What, something wrong?" I realized (s)he was talking to me.
"Hey, do ya like guys?," I asked him.
"No! Of course I don't."
"Huh. Then ya must be lesbian."
All of the guys with him cracked up, and I even saw a slight grin on Duck Butt's face. That Deidara guy was not amused, tho. "Hey! I'm a man and I'll prove it to you!" He was about to pull down his pants, but the short red head stopped him. "Calm down, Deidara. You can show your balls on the court. By the way, I'm Sasori."
Then the deeper red head dude introduced himself. "I'm Nagato Uzumaki." Huh. Funny how he's an Uzumaki too.
Then Sharkboy went. "I'm Kisame Hoshigaki, and I love fish."
Itachi went next. "I'm Itachi Uchiha." I looked at Duck Butt, and he was grinning. Interested in beating him, I guess.
He then introduced himself. "I am Sasuke Uchiha, and I am Itachi's younger brother." Everyone that came with Itachi looked in interest.
Finally it was my turn. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm gonna be the best Asian NBA player of all time, y'know?" They all looked at me with interest. "Yea that's right, I'm gonna be better than Yao Ming."
"Alright! Now that all of the players have been introduced, let us commence with a youthful 5-on-5 basketball game. The teams will be Naruto, Sasuke, Kisame, Lee, and Kakashi vs Deidara, Itachi, Sasori, Nagato and me! Let's play a youthful basketball game! Naruto's team will wear red, and my team will wear blue. The game will be to 21, with 2's and 3's."
After we got changed, Itachi offered to shoot for ball, and he made it. I was guarding Deidara as the game started. He called for an Iso, then took a three, and to my dismay, I heard a swish! I promised myself next time I wouldn't let him shoot at all costs.
BLUE 3, RED 0
Then Kisame brought up the ball and passed it to Duck Butt. I blew past Deidara off the ball and Sasuke found me. I made the easy layup.
BLUE 3, RED 2
Deidara brought the ball up, and I didn't give him an inch of space. So he was forced to give it up to Itachi, but Duck Butt played great defense on him, forcing him to take a tough stepback shot. He still made it though.
BLUE 5, RED 2
I brought up the ball, and called for a pick by Duck Butt. Deidara stayed with me, and Itachi stayed back. Duck Butt stayed at the three-point line, and I fed him the ball, so he could drain the uncontested shot. (A/N: The video below shows a pick. Pretend that the tall guy stays at the 3-point line and shoots)
BLUE 5, RED 5
A little while later
BLUE 17, RED 16
That was the score now. I had 7 points, and Sasuke had 5, with Kakashi-sensei and Kisame with 2 points each. Itachi had 10 for the blue team, and Guy had 4, with Deidara chipping in an extra 3. It was our ball now. Sasuke brought up the ball, and he called for me, since I was guarded by Deidara, to make a pick. The defense switched, and Sasuke shredded that blonde guy and made the easy shot.
BLUE 17, RED 18
Nagato brought up the ball for the other team, then passed to Itachi. Sasuke played great defense on his brother again, and this time, Itachi couldn't make the shot. Lee grabbed the rebound, then passed to me.
As the game went on, I got a good idea of everyone's strengths and weaknesses. I realized that Sasori plays the worst defense on the blue team, and I wanted him on me. So I called Lee on the screen. They switched. Then I posted up on Sasori, and bullied him on the way to two points.
BLUE 17, RED 20
Itachi brought up the ball, then shook off Duck Butt, stepped back, and drained another three.
BLUE 20, RED 20
Now the next team to score wins. Duck Butt dribbled the ball up the court, then shook off Itachi. Deidara stopped guarding me to try to stop Duck Butt. Duck Butt, seeing this, passed to me out in the corner. I took my time, set, aimed, and fired. Swish! I hit nothing but nylon.
FINAL: BLUE 20, RED 23
That was my first game winner. I was mobbed by Lee. "What a shot, Naruto! You looked so cool and calm and youthful shooting that!" Sasuke had a little smirk on his face. "That was nice, Dobe, but I could do that in my sleep." Idiot always thinks he's so cool. "That was pretty good, Naruto. You seem like a pretty good player. Now I understand why you look at the basketball hoop during class," Kakashi-sensei said. Wait, he knew I was looking at the hoop! How could he?! Duck Butt and I also got congrats from the blue team. "That was a very youthful showing from you two!" Guy-sensei exclaimed. "You two seem like pretty good players. You could both make it to the league if you worked hard enough. I know Naruto has the drive for it. Also you should think about joining your basketball team or an academy," Nagato said. Now that compliment felt good. We went to get our phones on the table next to the court. As we were doing that, Guy asked, "Would you like schedule another youthful game of basketball at another time?" Everyone nodded their heads. "How about we do this like every Friday?," The woman Deidara asked. Everyone was ok with that, and then we all said goodbye to each other and left.
