Chapter Three
A Little Competition

Waiting at the oak tree, Sasuke Uchiha stiffled a light yawn, fully satisfyied from his small breakfast meal. Team 3's hour was almost up, and the time left was a matter of seconds. A loud crash from inside the forest and loud swearing signalled their return, however if they didn't exit the forest in about twenty five seconds then they would spend the rest of the day in hardcore training.

Twenty three seconds left...

Akina backflipped off a high branch onto a lower branch of a tall tree, narrowilly missing a chakra activated trap that sent several shurikens flying at her body. In her hand she held a plump and round orange with a small note attatched by a string.

Shiro dodged from branch to branch running from shurikens that followed his chakra like a heat seeking missle. Several showed to manage a hit as one or two still stuck out of his shoulder.

Yuki remained on the forest ground, also running from renegade shuriken, however he seemed less damanged than his other team members.

Twenty seconds left...

Shiro lept to a higher branch in time for the shuriken to crash into the trees bark. Akina, who front flipped onto that same branch gave him a slight wink, before spin-flipping towards the ground. Shiro blushed lightly and followed.

Eighteen seconds left...

They could see the edge of the forest, and sure enough Uchiha-sensei, who merely counted in his head the time they had left.

Fifteen seconds left...

Sasuke yawned.

Thirteen seconds left...

"We're not going to make it!"Akina exclaimed.

"Use your chakra to boost your speed,"Yuki suggested, soon shooting off. Akina and Shiro gave eachother a 'what the hell, why not?' shrug and repeated Yuki's actions.

The edge was near and Akina was ready to do a victory dance when suddenly another trap was set off. Hundreds of senbon came flying in their direction.

"SEVEN SECONDS!"shouted out Sasuke with cupped hands around his mouth. Akina squeaked in suprise, using her chakra to jump higher than she ever thought possible. Shiro scrambled out of the way, running like he'd never run before. Yuki made a quick leap with a grunt.

Akina hit the ground rolling, little X's for eyes with her tounge sticking out. Her orange rolled out of her palm.

"Congratulations Akina,"Sasuke clapped picking up her orange.

"No problem,"she replied faintly.

Shiro dashed past Sasuke, leaving a dust cloud in his wake. Slowing to a hault...mostly by running into the oak tree, he fell to the ground, catching his breath.

"Congratulations Shiro,"he repeated, taking the second orange.

"One more second, to spare Yuki,"Sasuke noted, as the other gennin landed on the ground. "Excellent work."

"Uchiha-sensei, you're cruel,"Akina scolded. Sasuke shrugged with a little grin.

"Good work team. A lesson has been learned today. When on a mission, traps can come out of nowhere. Expect the unexpected, and foremost, get the job done. All of you have the day off, and now you may enjoy the delicious fruits of your labor!"

Sasuke handed them their oranges back.

Akina, Shiro and Yuki, all dirtied and tired glared at Sasuke.

"You know some days, I just don't like that guy,"Shiro stated. Yuki and Akina nodded.

Sasuke was already gone.

Naruto's jaw dropped.

"It's really...um.."he began.

"Clean?"Azusa asked, plopping himself down on the couch.

"I was going to say that,"Naruto lightly scowled.

"Well judging by the before picture, I'd have been surpised that the word 'clean' existed in your vocabulary,"Azusa said.

"Hey, you can't insult the teacher!"Naruto protested.

"Oy, Uzumaki-sensei!"called Aiji's voice. "There's a pervert at the door!"

Naruto popped up to see the familiar face...or face mask...of Hatake Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sensei!"Naruto chirped.

"I see your students have learned their manners from you,"Kakashi noted. Naruto shrugged and the three students of Team 2 grinned innocently. Kakashi gave Team 2 an 'Oh-yeah-right-my-ass-you're-innocent' look and turned back to Naruto.

"I've come to ask for a favor Naruto,"Kakashi began. Team 2 leaned in to hear. "A favor that ONLY Naruto will hear."

Team 2 groaned.

"Alright team, you get the rest of the day off!"Naruto proclaimed. In a flash they were out the door. Naruto wished that if they would use such speed towards their training it would benefit everyone more.

"So, what's this favor?"Naruto asked.

"I need your help really,"Kakashi stated placing a hand behind his head and looking away. Naruto blinked his large azure gaze.

"With what?"

"Well...there's this person, and I don't think...well I want to get them on a date with me,"Kakashi began with a level of slight discomfort.

"And I come in where?"Naruto asked.

"Well, you know him better, and it's easier for you to get closer,"Kakashi stated.

"Oh my god! You mean the rumors true!?"

"Rumor? What rumor? Who's spreading a rumor?"Kakashi asked, although Naruto ignored him.

"I just thought Sakura-chan was kidding,"Naruto interupted.

"Sakura spread a rumor about me?"Kakashi asked slightly confused. Naruto waved the statement away with a sly grin.

"No no. Rumor has it that you happen to like a certain ex-sensei of mine,"he finished with a sly gaze that made Kakashi cringe.

"Uh...well...maybe, yes,"Kakashi shrank.

"HaHA!"

"Alright! I want Umino Iruka like you want ramen!"Kakashi confessed like a sinner in a church. "Please help me get him! I must have him!"

"I never would've guessed that you would like Iruka-sensei,"Naruto admitted.

"Feh,"Kakashi stated. "The point is, I want to be with him. But for some reason he has this notion in his mind that I'm a pervert!"

"I wonder why,"drawled Naruto.

"I have no clue!"Kakashi said in suprise.

"Well, I might be able to help,"Naruto said. "Erm, well for a price." Return of sly grin.

Kakashi sighed. "Kick a man when he's down, I see,"he replied. Then he clapped his hands together and crinkled his eye.

"What is it you want?"Kakashi stated in an all too cheerful voice.

"Hmm...thirty bowls of ramen!"

Kakashi's face faultered. This was going to leave a dent in his wallet for sure.

The streets of Konoha had awakened to the afternoon, as Hyuuga Neji, a rather handsome and powerful jounin, walked the streets. Several groupies followed him of course, hiding expertly (or at least they think so) from his field of vision. He sighed heavilly. Such was the fate for one of Konoha's finest looking men.

However, women didn't really interest him. Oh no, there was only one treat for Neji's certain cravings and that blond haired jounin just exited his apartment. Always the charming man, Neji jogged beside him.

"Good afternoon, Naruto-san,"Neji greeted.

"Neji!"Naruto smiled. "What brings you to this side of town?"

"I was just looking for you, is all,"Neji stated.

"Oh,"Naruto answered. "Well, you found me. What's up?"

"Well, I'm not sure if you heard of it, but there's a new place opening up this weekend,"Neji began.

"A new place? Like a new ramen stand? I don't know, I kinda like Ichiraku, but if their ramen is good, then it can't hurt to try a little bit-"Naruto drawled off.

"No, no, not a new ramen stand,"Neji corrected. "It's a night club."

"A night club?"Naruto asked.

"Yes. I hear one of the Hazumi girls started it,"Neji said. "Miss Heza Hazumi I believe."

"Hazumi, as in one of Sasuke-teme's students-Hazumi?"

"Yes, it's one of Hazumi Akina's elder sisters,"Neji stated.

"Cool,"Naruto said.

"I was wondering if you would join me, opening night?"Neji suggested/asked.

Naruto pondered it. "Well, it can't hurt to get out and party once in a while...sure, why not?" That familiar grin and expression on Naruto's face made Neji slightly blush.

"Alright then, it's a date,"Neji stated. "Well I have to go! See you later."

Naruto stuttered with an adorable blush as Neji walked off in a confident air. "A d-date?!"

***

Perhaps giving his students the day off was a bad idea, because at the moment, Uchiha Sasuke had some pent up energy he wanted to blow off. (No pun intended of course). A couple of people were already sparring from what he could see at the training grounds, and seeing the adrenaline rush that came with a good fight, got him itching for a good spar.

"Uchiha,"came a voice from behind the Sharingan user, which was easilly recongnized as Hyuuga Neji's. Sasukes glance narrowed slightly as he turned to face an equally handsome man with just about the same personality.

"Hyuuga,"Sasuke stated with a slight glare. "What brings you here to the training grounds? Just watching?"

"No, I'm actually waiting for Tenten to arrive so we can spar. We've both agreed that our skills were getting a bit rusty,"Neji stated walking next to Sasuke. A pair of young men currently engaged in battle proved to be a good source of entertainment for the usually stoic young men.

"Waiting for your girlfriend, my how chivalrious,"Sasuke stated in a monotone. However with a chuckle from Neji, one of Sasuke's elegant eyebrows were raised in suspicion.

"Girlfriend? Me and Tenten, no, I don't think so. I don't like girls that way,"Neji stated with a light smile. "Besides,"his tone darkened a bit, "nowadays I have a thing for blonds."

Sasuke's gaze narrowed to the deadliest level possible, the Sharingan burning through. Neji likes guys. Neji likes blond guys. There was only one blond haired man that Sasuke knew of, or at least one blond haired man good looking enough to catch the eye of the Ice-King over there.

"How nice,"Sasuke grumbled. "Say,"Sasuke began turning around to face Neji who held an amused glance on his face. "What do you say we do some warm-ups before Tenten arrives?"

Hyuuga Neji's amused expression never left when he agreed. He wasn't a genius for nothing. Through years of observation upon Uchiha Sasuke, one could easilly figure out, with an open mind to such suggestions and realization of his true nature, that he held a certain affection for a certain blond haired man. Of course, who could blame him (besides the legion of fangirls still prying for his affections)? Naruto was gorgeous. When he was younger, he was adorable, a little annoying but his good nature and impressive abilities well made up for that factor.

As he got older, he grew taller, his hair a bit longer and messier, eyes an impossible and inhumanly shade of ocean blue. His abilities grew as did his knowledge, and despite the fact that he still clings to adolescent behaviors, it only makes him more adorable.

Neji knew he wanted him from the fiesty and fiery attitude of their friendly spars after the chuunin exams.

"Lets stick to taijutsu,"Neji requested, noticing the Sharingan gaze lingerings on him. "No genjutsu or ninjutsu." The Sharingan faded and Sasuke's cocky smirk returned to his face.

"Alright,"Sasuke stated. "Let's begin."

"So, tell me,"Sasuke stated, dodging a swift punch from Neji. "Who is this certain blond you hold affection for, Hyuuga?"

"Oh, you know him very well. I bet you can guess who it is,"Neji all but mocked in a sing song voice. Sasuke growled and spun kicked to where Neji's head would be, had not his forearm come to block the attack.

"Naruto,"he stated.

"Clever boy, Sasuke, you're not a genius for nothing,"Neji taunted lightly.

"I'm sorry to burst your bubble, Hyuuga, but Naruto isn't yours to claim,"Sasuke grumbled.

"I wasn't aware he was already taken, Uchiha,"Neji himself glared.

"He's not technically. But I will be the one to claim him,"Sasuke declared.

"Ooh. Such strong words to demotivate me, how can I possibly compete?"Neji returned to his tauntings. "You can't have him if I get to him first, Uchiha."

"I guarantee you wont,"Sasuke growled darkly.

"Haha, that's where you're wrong! He's already agreed to join me on a date,"Neji smirked at Sasuke's face faulter.

"Grrr,"growled Sasuke again. "Bastard Hyuuga."

"Yeah, well this bastard will get the prize,"Neji declared.

"Naruto is not some trophy to win,"Sasuke stated.

"No,"Neji began, "he's a beautiful creature to be valued and treasured, but if you're my competition to winning his affections, then I'm afraid he is the ultimate prize."

"Are you proposing a wager, Hyuuga?"Sasuke asked with an amused glance.

"Possibly,"Neji said. "I'm merely stating that Naruto is mine for the taking."

"We'll see who he chooses,"Sasuke said. They clashed once more before the sound of someone's throat clearing interupted their thoughts.

Tenten stood there holding a kunai in her hand and tapping her foot impatiently. Neji tilted his head to peer at Sasuke. "I must be going now, Uchiha."

"Yeah whatever,"Sasuke grumbled.

"May the best man win,"Neji smirked. He walked over to Tenten.

Sasuke was determined before to win Naruto's heart, body and soul. Now more than ever he was especially determined, just to prove to Neji that Naruto cared for him, not the Hyuuga.

"Dammit Neji,"Sasuke growled in frustration. "He's already beaten me to the chase. I wonder where he's taking Naruto? I'll have to ask the Dobe. Hmm."

His mind began to formulate different situations to win over Naruto. "May the best man win Neji? Oh, I plan on it."

And with that, Sasuke dissapeared.
