Naruto brushed his hand against his arm as he sat in class the next day, another red spot formed on the same arm... and he was hiding it with a long sleeve shirt. It was strange, it felt like a smooth rash in a way, he tried to scratch at it, but it didn't do much. He let it be, but it still worried him... but he decided against telling gramps what was happening, since he didn't want him to go through the trouble of what he already has to deal with.
Alright class. It's time for sparing.
Naruto snapped out of his daze of what he was thinking and looked up at his sensei.
He didn't like to spar, but it was better then the boring lectures. He walked side by side with Hinata Hyuuga, who was walking quietly and timidly by him, poking at her fingers. She was a good friend to Naruto, she just needed a small confidential boost.
Go-ood luc-ck Naruto.
She stuttered as his name was called.
Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha.
Naruto frowned, he really didn't want to face off against him of all people.
He walked up in the sparing circle and looked towards Iruka who instructed him to pull his hand up with the friendly jester.
As per usual, strictly Tai jutsu.
He nodded and pulled it up but Sasuke just scoffed and didn't do as instructed and just went into a stance.
Sakura who was watching looked at the two with worry, she didn't know who to cheer for... but the look in Sasuke's eyes did not make her decision hard.
Good luck Naruto!
She cheered for Naruto while he looked towards Sasuke in concentration.
As soon as Iruka gave the signal, Sasuke bolted foward quickly before Naruto could wonder what his move would be. He put his arm up but the punch aimed for his right shoulder turned quickly into a kick to the left leg, which he grabbed in a split secound before it connected. Sasuke twisted himself before he tried to punch the blond in the chest but the slight new posture sent him airborn with Naruto controlling his flight... Naruto pushed him towards the ring and he tumbled outwards.
He grinned slightly and turned towards Iruka to see how he did before he heard a roar of rage before he felt a slight influx of chakra.
Fire style, fire ball jutsu.
The fire took him off by surprise as he was reminded by the flames of a few nights before.
He closed his eyes waiting for the flame to hit him but he pushed his hand up and felt something from his skin and he palmed the giant fire ball coming his way... dispersing the fireball completely.
Iruka was so caught off guard by the cancelation of the jutsu that he clapped.
Well done Naruto.
He smiled before he looked towards Sasuke.
Sasuke is disqualified by knock out of ring and use of Jutsu.
Winner Naruto.
Naruto smiled slightly but he looked down at his hands to see red little bits sink back into his skin making him shudder, wondering what it actually was.
Sasuke grunted before walking off into the building, not giving any sign to anyone where he was going.
That was amazing!
Sakura said happily and high fived Naruto who was smiling more happily with his friends coming around him.
Yeah, how did you do that anyway?
Choji asked while Hinata nodded meekly with the same question in mind.
I'm not really sure.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
Of course you don't know, so troublesome for you to know.
Naruto flushed with a pout.
That is mean and you know it.
Sakura scolded while Shikamaru looked lazily at her.
I'm honest.
Those words got the rest of the group to laugh while Sakura booked the boy's head with a sigh.
Honestly...
She muttered annoyed before she reached and hugged the blond making Naruto freeze in surprise.
What's up Sakura-chan?
She shook her head and pulled back and smiled.
Just try to not die by that idiot.
She was referring to Sasuke which made the blond grin and salute the girl.
Aye.
Sakura deadpanned towards him at his slight cheerfulness.
Don't salute me you baka.
He immediately put his hand down and smiled sheepishly making the others laugh at his dismay.
