Yes i knooow..."what the hell is this crp??" your all wondering!(?). But please, before you crucify me just hear me out
Way to describe this is; it’s basically like a Naruto fan story that I have been working on. I appreciate that there aren’t many people who watch Naruto as it’s a Manga anime and mainly shown on the kiddies channel (not a word…!) and not understanding half the twaddle could be a bit scary. This is story is sort of half of Naruto and half my own. I’ve made my own characters as well as including characters from the show and it’s all based in their world but does include our own (how is that possible? Well read it and find out )
I use to write Lost stories and appreciate that its more appropriate on here (this is off topic – my defence!), but I haven’t seen or wrote about Lost in a while and at the moment, my new obsession is Naruto and has inspired me in some way to write again. I did wonder if I should put it on here but someone said I should - so I’m going to take their advice and I’ll blame them if you don’t like it or it doesn’t work out .
I know this isn't everyone's 'cup of tea' but please, just give it a chance before you dismiss it...

The Lost Forumers - Fighting Team Of Dreamers Bite me......I'm cute. KAKASHI
Ok, to get you started, i'm going to post the prologue that i have done (which has been approved by a former C4 Lost forumer! Thanks Lexi ) and also, the character profiles.
I have also done 4 chapters already and working on my 5th one so it's not like i havn't planned it all.
So while you read that, i'm going to make a call to security to see if they provide protection from mobs ().
~~~~Prologue~~~~
The story is about a group of people, who seem like ordinary people but in fact very different to everyone else and they like it that way. They are 6 elite agents each with a special ability and all trained and skilled in the highest form of combat.
Feeling like they have achieved everything they could have on earth and with things quieting down from ‘hell day’ a year ago, they feel its time they moved on. Plagued with painful memories of losing those closest to them, they prepare to make their move but no one doubts that this is the right thing to do. They grab their essentials and followed by their family, they leave Earth and head for a new life…in a new World.
Still connected to the outside world (Earth), they adapt to the ways of the Hidden Leaf village. It’s much quieter then it was before and in a way it’s easier for the 6 but in some ways it’s harder. They learn and see things which their world couldn’t have dreamed were possible and they take no hesitation in learning and following the new ways of the new world. But with each step they take is another step closer to turning their back away from their original home at Earth. Are they risking losing everything they have ever gained?
Like any move that is made, there is always a motive, a reason why things are done and what path is taken. There are 2 main reasons that bring them to the Hidden Leaf Village…to protect one and to find one. But as they draw closer to those the reasons, the more dangerous things become and the game plan starts to change. Believing that they have taken the right path and can do everything in their power to protect the one they came for they soon find out that things are never as simple as they seem, but they know that oh to well. As the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place, they never imagined that they would have to come face to face with their own nightmare.
So before they can take their final stand against the evil that lurks in the Hidden Leaf Village with the one they protect, they must battle their own fears and against an evil face from the past.

The arena was huge, it was a 360 degree circle and each space was filled with bench like seats surrounding the wide battle ground. Steps marked up each row of seats and above one side of the arena was a balcony where the Lord Hokage of the Leaf village sat, along with Lord Kazekage from the sand village. There were enough seats to sit over 1000 people and more or less, each one of them was taken. People sat in there seats chatting excitedly, this was the 3rd and final exam of this years Ninja contest. They came round once a year, but this one was different for 2 reasons. 1 reason, was this year, they had an exceptional bunch of Genin Ninja all ready to prove themselves as Chounin - one who everyone knew, one that remained a completely mystery and a couple of dark horses amongst them but also, another reason was that trouble lurked amongst the crowd, threatening to ruin the Leaf village. This is what brought Debbie and Eliza to the match…
“Hey, is this seat taken?”
A young girl, named Sakura, with pink hair dressed in a red dress patterned with white circles looked up to see 2 young girls standing there – Eliza and Debbie. Eliza was dressed more in a tomboy fashion in black knee length combats with pockets both side and a white tank top with black trainers. Her hair was up, with 2 metal beak clips holding it in place and bangs as her fringe as the length of her face, styled to the left side, covering her eye and face. While Debbie was dressed more in a feminine fashion with blue jeans that were knee length, white halter neck top with a pink and blue flower pattern up the right side, a small crop top that was big enough to only cover her shoulders and pink dolly shoes. Her hair was down and came to the middle of her back, with parts of it resting at the front and a delicate blue flower placed in the left side of her hair. Sakura noticed that Debbie knew more about fashion as she spotted the Gucci shoulder bag that rested across her right shoulder and across her body…
Sakura - “No, it’s free”
Debbie nodded thanks and the 2 girls took to the seats with Eliza sitting next to Sakura, looking around innocently as they did so. They looked down to the training grounds and saw the proctor of the match standing centre looking above to the crowd with 7 Ninja students standing behind him. All of them ready and waiting to fight – all for their own different reasons. This was the first one that Debbie and Eliza had been too and they would have been looking more forward to it if they didn’t have other things on their mind. Eliza fidgeted a little excitedly, fanning herself with the Ninja student’s information cards, checking out the size of the pitch.
Eliza – “Wow, this is bigger then a footie pitch!” Debbie – “You’ve never been to a football pitch” Eliza – “Please, I’ve watched enough football games to get the jist of how big a footie pitch is.”
Debbie rolled her eyes at that statement as it was true none the less, and didn’t even bother arguing against it, she leant over and yanked the cards out of Elizas hands to read them. As Debbie did that, Eliza took the bag from Debbie and started rummaging through it, pulling out a bag of sweet popcorn and popping the bag back between Debbies legs.
Debbie – “What’s these?” Eliza – “They were given them out at the entrance. The cards are details of each student that’s participating in this match and underneath is a description of each one’s ability etc”… “See, the way I look at it, is it’s like a football match, you do your research, if you need to and you pick your team, where here, you pick ya brat that you’re supporting and stick with them, crap or not.”
Debbie nodded as Eliza pointed out the little information as she explained them…then rolled her eyes as Eliza made football references and knew where this was heading…Debbie always found it amusing how Eliza could start off something so logical and end it in such a common way.
Debbie – “Were they handing those out to! When the hell did you sneak them in the bag?”
Eliza just beamed a big grin at Debbie before forcing a handful of popcorn in, obviously a few too many as some fell onto her lap, which Eliza didn’t hesitate to pick up and force back in her mouth. Debbie smiled to herself, shaking her head lightly and carried on looking at the information cards. Sakura couldn’t help but listen, there was something different about these girls, there clothes seemed normal, like they fitted in but there accent was different and wasn’t from the Leaf village. Sakura had already tried to check out if they were wearing a ninja headband but couldn’t spot one even though both of them had the weapon straps round their right leg which held the Kunai in – just like what she had and every other genin ninja. It was a little strange considering that only Ninjas wore the strap that carried specific weapons and Ninjas are required to wear their village headband if they were a ninja. She continued to listen as Debbie asked if Eliza had done her research to which Eliza pointed out that she didn’t need to. Debbie and Eliza had cottoned on that Sakura was taking an interest in them and kept what they were talking about to a limit, especially about what ‘research’ Eliza had to do.
Luckily, they didn’t have to keep a ‘normal’ conversation going for too long as people started cheering. The proctor had given instructions to the students to take there position, 2 of the students stayed on the battle ground while the others went on a balcony underneath the seating, out the way, everyone knew it was about to start. Debbie looked around as people cheered and thought to herself that it was a bit like a football match, the cheering, then most probably the booing later on, the only thing that was different, was instead of men running round in shorts kicking a ball, it was young kids basically kicking the crap out of each other, she realised then that this was more of an Eliza footie match. Debbie had spent many matches having a pierced ear drum when sitting near Eliza when she’s watching the football. When it came to football, Debbie found that Eliza turned into a whole different person.
Debbie looked back to Eliza who seemed almost excited at this but Eliza knew she couldn’t get too into it. Debbie asked her who was up first which Eliza explained that it was Naruto and Neji.
Debbie – “our guy?”
Eliza shook her head as Debbie pointed out to Neji and Naruto on the cards but both of them were startled when Sakura suddenly jumped out of her seat and started cheering Naruto on, Eliza couldn’t resist getting her little ‘woot’ in there, and as she did, Sakura was obviously pleased that it was for Naruto, Eliza laughed as she turned to Debbie…
Eliza- “But we’re rooting for him still”
Debbie smiled and nodded in agreement, both she and Eliza didn’t know much on Neji, but they knew plenty on Naruto. He wasn’t what they were there for today but while they were there, they were definitely backing him all the way. * * * * * * * Chapter 2 preview; The match between Naruto and Neji gets underway and it’s everyman for himself on the battlefield. Everyone’s on tender hooks and just as the winner is clear…the game plan changes.
The Lost Forumers - Fighting Team Of Dreamers Bite me......I'm cute. KAKASHI
Thanks Choccie . The question you put forward is a very good point. Its an anime programme but i never gave the Earth side of it a thought like that but suppose theres no harm in thinking it as anime. Plus, that would give me a better range on the fiction part. I could do more stuff in anime mode. Ok, so yea, sorry thats me talking out loud and going with the flow of my mind lol. Basically, yes it's animated.
But saying that, which ever way you prefer your imagination to wonder
(Ok, anyhooo, shut up K-Babz!)
Chapter 2;
The fight between Naruto and Neji was getting underway. Naruto had made the first move by throwing Kunias at him, whom Neji blocked instantly but this gave Naruto the chance to run at him. Neji blocked his frontal attack easily. Naruto jumped back and threw several punches his way with both fists but failed to make an impact as Neji again blocked every single one with the palm of his hand.
“Naruto, watch out!”
Sakura had jumped out of her seat which Eliza and Debbie didn’t expect. Eliza did have a handful of popcorn but due to Sakura’s outburst, the handful was now spread across the floor. Eliza frowned just as Neji slammed his palm into what looked like Naruto’s chest causing him to keel over.
Eliza (thinking)–“Dam it pinky” Debbie – “Ooh, what a move!” “What did I just miss D?!” Eliza asked in a frustrated tone
Eliza shot a look to Debbie then to the fighting area and looked to see Naruto on the floor clutching at his shoulder; Debbie explained the move that Neji had just done. Both of them were aware that Neji’s special move was Byakugan, which was a move that could see and concentrate on all chakra points that were stored in your body, and one hit from Neji could affect the chakra flow, either halting it or increasing it, depending on how the attacker strikes. Everyone in the arena was half on the edge of their seats, most of everyone had thought that Neji had hit Naruto in the chest, which would have had a devastating blow to Naruto, especially to his chakra points but Neji had missed and ended up catching his shoulder. Naruto soon got back on his feet and attacked with a shadow clone Jutsu which Neji easily took out and put Naruto on his back…
30 Minutes pass;
Most of the time that has passed had been the Ninjas talking with Neji bantering on about some Destiny crap, which really didn’t excite Debbie at all as she forced a yawn back, slumping back in the seat while Eliza carried on shoving popcorn in her mouth. Debbie tried to figure out if Eliza was testing how much she could get in as with each mouthful, seemed to be more popcorn.
Debbie – “Shouldn’t you normally save the popcorn till the best match?” Eliza- “Nah uh, I got another bag in there”
Eliza flicked her hand towards Debbie’s bag as Debbie rolled her eyes muttering that she should have known and was surprised that Eliza didn’t bring a bag of popcorn for each match. The rest of the crowd around the arena seemed to be half on the edge of their seats while Naruto and Neji stood in front of each other in their fighting stance still bantering on. Things had started to slow down, 20 minutes ago it was all go and looked set for Neji to win…Both of them had got more hits in but Neji’s was more vital then Naruto’s, occasionally knocking Naruto on his backside but each time, Naruto got back up and refused to give in. Naruto had tried to attack Neji with one of his shadow clones but Neji had blocked it with a rotation technique before using another technique that hit Narutos chakra points 64 times, knocking him down and blocking his flow of chakra. Now, both of them had stood facing each other and were having their mild heated discussion and what seemed to be Neji telling Naruto a story about his life and ‘Destiny’.
Sakura was obviously on the edge of her seat as well as the young girl next to her - Ino. Ino wore light orange top, black trousers and the ninja leaf headband across her forehead, it was the same as Sakura’s but she wore hears on head like a normal hair band. Ino’s hair was blond and went down to the bottom of her back. Eliza crumpled up her bag of popcorn and shoved it in the bag before standing up and brushing herself off and plonking herself back down.
“Well we knew he wasn’t going to win against Neji” Ino said with a half confident tone like she knew all along despite cheering for Naruto along with Sakura earlier “After all, Neji is the no 1 rookie of last year”. Sakura looked down with a sad look on her face as Ino said that, Sakura probably wouldn’t have gave it a second thought but it was the way Ino said it that made it seem like it was right.
Debbie - “If that’s the case… Eliza – “how come he’s back here this year?...” Debbie - “…and still a genin?” Ino - “W-what…?”
Ino looked to Debbie and Eliza questionably, who were both looking at Naruto and Neji but had conceited smiles across their faces…
Eliza - “I mean, after all…” Debbie - “...Looks can be deceiving” Ino – “What do you...mean?”
Eliza looked to Ino and winked. It didn’t seem to bother Sakura in the slightest with what they meant but with Debbie and Eliza saying that, it had put a half smile back on Sakura’s face, it was the fact that she knew that there were someone there with a bit of confidence in Naruto that made her feel better.
As they finished complaining which they felt was passing the time, they were about to get comfy in there seats, when the crowd started to whisper and Sakura clapped her hands together in excitement and nearly burst out loud Naruto’s name. Debbie and Eliza looked on to the fight and were shocked to see that there was movement again….but this time it was different.
Naruto was straining to summon his chakra something which Neji told him not to bother with as he had blocked it all but suddenly wind started to gush around Naruto and orange mist appeared twirling in all directions around Naruto’s body. The last move that Neji pulled on him should have taken him and his chakra out but now, Neji could see it rising throughout his body as everyone could see it covering his body. Everyone seemed pretty shocked by it as they gawped down at Naruto…Neji blocked himself from the wind of the twisting energy that gushed past him, before it settled on the ground and twirled at Naruto’s feet but with fire like flames sifting up covering his body.
Before Neji knew it, Naruto jumped from his feet into the air with the energy mist covering his body like a shield, the twisting energy spun faster as Naruto’s excitement grew. Neji was astonished at Naruto’s new found strength but had to act quick as Naruto came up from behind him and threw Shurikens at him. Neji blocked the attack with rotation, bouncing the Shurikens off but caught them as they fell and pulled out his own Shurikens. Naruto bounced of the wall of the arena and headed straight for Neji who wasted no time in chucking the Shurikens at him. Naruto darted to the right in the blink of the eye, Neji realised he was faster then before but had no time to think as Naruto appeared behind him, Neji swung round and grabbed a Kunai out of his pocket which Naruto copied and both of them jumped back and threw it at each other…they both dashed upwards, grabbing each others Kunai as it headed for them before darting at each other. As they headed towards each other, their Kunais clashed. Both of them landed on their feet far apart and looked at each other, Naruto then wasted no time and ran at Neji at full speed, the kunai clutched in his hand. As he ran faster, Neji pulled out his kunai, knowing that it wouldn’t do any damage with the speed Naruto was going at, he decided to prepare himself to use rotation to block the attack.
As Naruto jumped at him Neji used his rotation, just as he spun round, the Kunais that they both held, clashed, ringing out a loud clinking sound and next thing everyone knew, there was a big boom followed by flying rocks of concrete and a huge puff of smoke around the 2 ninja’s. Everyone was all sat up right with there mouths wide open while the proctor covered his hands over his face to protect himself from the impact of the blast. The arena trembled and the fighting area quickly filled up with smoke, a couple of things darted into the smoke but it was too hard to see.
Everyone was on the edge of their seats and on tender hooks, including Debbie and Eliza, as they all waited to see who came out of it alive. As the smoke began to clear, it revealed the terrain, which had two outward gaping holes in the concrete.
Sakura – “But...which one’s Naruto?” Ino – “Don’t ask me, I don’t even know what happened just now!”
In one hole, a hand popped through and at that moment, you could hear a penny drop in the arena as everyone drew their breathe in. The hand that peered through yanked himself up and revealed himself to be Neji…as the other hole finally begin to clear of it’s smoke, it revealed Naruto curled up in a foetal position. Sakura had prayed so hard for it to be Naruto to come out walking but she frowned as she exhaled, while everyone else kinda leaned back and accepted that it was over and Neji had won, while Neji’s team mate Tenten sat in the crowd smirking, knowing that Neji couldn’t be beaten as he was powerful but thought that Naruto had put up a good fight. * * * * * Chapter 3 preview; The next match is postponed much to everyone’s disappointment including the Lords and Sakura but Eliza seems calm about it. As one student drops out, Shikamaru’s match is brought forward and he ponders whether it be a good idea to pull out too as it’s too much hassle, but Naruto see’s to it that he doesn’t. The girls learn a bit more about Sakura and her teacher while they wait for the last and most waited match.
The Lost Forumers - Fighting Team Of Dreamers Bite me......I'm cute. KAKASHI
As the proctor rose his hand ready to call the match there was a loud crunching sound and much to everyone’s amazement Naruto came shooting out of the ground at Nejis feet, with his left fist leading his body. Naruto’s fist made impact with Neji’s chin, giving him a hard uppercut and causing him to fly through the air and land on his back. The Naruto that laid in the ditch disappeared into a puff of smoke, at that moment then, everyone realised it was a shadow clone Jutsu.
“And the winner is, Naruto Uzumaki” “You did it!!”
As the proctor announced that, Sakura jumped up shouting out in great delight, as she did everyone applauded wildly, cheering in excitement and ‘woo’ing at Naruto. He turned to see a standing ovation and everyone applauding him, it hit him that he had won and he finally felt like he was accepted.
“Woooooooo!” Eliza cheered “Woo, go Naruto!” Debbie added on to Eliza’s cheer.
Debbie laughed when Eliza cheered in her loudest voice; it was just like what she did when a goal was scored in football. Debbie stood up and joined in, giving Eliza a high five. Despite using up every bit of energy he had, Naruto started running around the fighting area, lapping up every single bit of attention. He chuckled merrily and danced around, waving and kissing at the audience. Sakura and Ino chuckled in joy as they looked at the crowd applauding Naruto.
“Now that was a sweet move.” Eliza said all hyped Debbie laughed – “No kidding, I got goose bumps! There were some great moves he pulled; he must have a good teacher, that’s all I can say” Sakura – “In a way”
Sakura said that with a frown, Debbie and Eliza looked to Sakura slightly confused and turned to Sakura…Ino had a gloomy look as she knew what Sakura meant, but no-one needed to ask what she meant as Sakura carried on talking…
Sakura – “Kakashi sensei was our teacher” Eliza - “Was?” Debbie - “Our?” Sakura – “You see I was in Naruto’s team along with Sasuke and Kakashi sensei was the one who trained us up to the exams but as far as I know, since Naruto and Sasuke passed the preliminaries, Kakashi has only taught Sasuke.” Debbie - “If both Naruto and Sasuke passed then why not train them together.” “I don’t know” Sakura shrugged Debbie – “You’re a team right? Surely he would have had you altogether still; perhaps keep you training with them so you can prepare yourself early for next year. That would make sense” “I never got through to the finals, only to the preliminaries so I guess I just didn’t matter anymore”. Sakura thought to herself.
Sakura bowed her head and gave a half hearted smile as she thought to herself. Ino noticed that her smile was forced and felt for her in a way. Debbie and Eliza both looked down a little sad, not only could they see that her smile was forced but because they heard what she was thinking. Eliza leant back in the seat shaking her head in a light disgraceful way while Debbie gave a small tut before speaking.
Debbie – “I think I’d take that back about him being a good teacher” Sakura – “He is a good teacher” she said in protest before thinking back “when he was on time.” “On time?” Debbie asked curiously Sakura - “Yea, he always showed up late whenever we was suppose to meet, then make up some lame excuse about a black cat crossing his path and had to take the long way round. Sometimes, he wouldn’t show up for 2 hours” Eliza – “Well that’s crap.” Debbie – “No kidding! I think I would have decked him one” Eliza shook her head – “No, It’s actually good luck when a black cat crosses your path, but because they are associated with witches, it’s dubbed as bad luck.”
Everyone looked to Eliza, who knew that wasn’t the point but somehow had to say it…she shrugged her shoulders calmly at them.
Eliza - “I’m not superstitious but I know a thing or 2 about them” Debbie – “Yea, I think you missed the point B.“ Eliza – “In all seriousness, this great teacher doesn’t sound so…great” Debbie – “She’s right. It’s not all about timing or whether you failed or not. It’s about being there when needed most and respecting you as a student, he’s suppose to help you correct your mistakes to make you a better ninja. You and Naruto were assigned as his students; he should look out for you all and not concentrate on this Sasuke kid.” Eliza – “I’m sorry but if that was my teacher, I’d have to find him and break his backside into gear. Hell, if he was here I’d do it now.” Debbie nodded in agreement with Eliza before taking a brief look around the arena – “Is he here?” Sakura shook her head – “I’m hoping he’s with Sasuke, I think he is meant to be fighting next. Sasuke wouldn’t miss this”
Sakura looked back down to the arena; in a way she felt that Debbie was right. Ever since the preliminaries had finished, she hadn’t heard from her sensei at all and wasn’t even sure if Naruto had. Debbie and Eliza just muttered to each other about how all blokes are the same and never learn, especially about important things.
The crowd now had begun to calm down taking to their seats ready for the next match everyone was energized and raring to go. The next match was between Sasuke, the one that every one know and came to see and Gaara, who was the one that remained a completely mystery to all. So without a doubt, this was the match that brought most of everyone to this exam, including Lord Kazekage of the sand village. Debbie and Eliza finished complaining about men and Eliza took a nice long look around before leaning over Debbie and putting her arm over her shoulders while she flicked through the student cards.
Debbie – “Who’s next?” Eliza – “Should be these 2.”
Eliza pointed to the cards to with the arm that was leant over her shoulder to show Debbie who was up next, Debbie pointed to one of the boys on the cards and was about to speak before the voice of the proctor rang out across the arena followed by confused voice and then boo’s.
“Listen everyone. One of the competitors from the next battle has not arrived yet so we are going to postpone this match briefly and simply jump ahead to the battle that would have followed this one.” “Sasuke’s not turning up then” “You heard pinky there, he’ll be here” Eliza shrugged “What do you know B?” Debbie raised her eyebrow “Only what you do” Debbie paused “With that match being moved, does this mean the plans are on hold?” “No idea D, but nothing’s going to affect us.” Eliza replied casually as she looked around “On to the next battle, Shino and Kankuro, come down”
Debbie and Eliza talked amongst themselves quietly while the proctor spoke in the background informing the crowd of the next match. Debbie nodded and asked no more. They had to keep what they were talking about to a limit but they knew what each other meant. As the proctor called for the next 2 students it was followed by a shocking announcement from Kankuro, much to the crowds disgust.
“Due to Kankuro’s withdrawal, Shino wins by default.”
More boo’s of disappointment followed the proctors’ announcement. As they sat back, Debbie and Eliza had a bit of a chuckle at the crowd and how everything was going down the pan slowly. It had started off to a great start; the first match went without a hitch and with a shocking result at the end, Naruto was certainly the dark horse in that match. Now, 1 match had been postponed and another withdrawn. All the energy had turned from excitement to disappointment within matter of minutes. Now another match was brought forward, it was the match between Shikamaru and Temari.
Temari wasted no time in getting herself down onto the fighting arena. Releasing her fan, she jumped on it and glided down, taking her place. This match was half ready to go; all the crowd had to do now was wait on Shikamaru.
Both of the girls sat back while Eliza looked at her watch; she then mouthed ‘1.5 H’ to Debbie who gave a nod in reply and looked round before turning back forward while Eliza started what seemed like a normal conversation to anyone.
Eliza – “So how many fit guys you checked out?” Debbie – “Looking at about 10 at least” Eliza – “Dam it D! I only got 8.” Debbie chuckled – "Your standards are getting too high”
Eliza laughed, that was kinda true but not completely, it was either that or Debbie’s standards were dropping but she didn’t say anything as she knew she would get a slap for it. Eliza’s chuckle was interrupted by Sakura and Ino who were interested in their conversation; they were 2 young girls, so anything with ‘fit’ and ‘boy’ in was bound to catch their attention. Debbie explained when in situations like this, when you’re bored, you check out the cute guys that are around to keep you entertained. Sakura and Ino thought this sounded like fun and took a sneaky look around while giggling with each other and pointing to a few boys. They both turned round sharing the same joyful look but turned into an intimidated glare just as quickly as the subject moved onto to a certain boy.
“But none of them are as cute as Sasuke” Sakura blushed “Well he’s mine bill board brow so you want to find yourself a new cutie!” Ino said in protest “You want to make something of it Ino pig!” Sakura retaliated back
Before Debbie and Eliza realised, Sakura and Ino were arguing at who thought Sasuke was the cutest and who he belong to. “Now look at what you done B” Debbie said with a chuckle. Debbie obviously found this funny, mainly because she wasn’t sat next to them. Eliza rolled her eyes and wanted to say what she thought about Sasuke herself but she knew that the state the 2 girls were in, it would have got her a worse slap then what Debbie would have given her so Eliza decided to keep quiet and she edged her bum across the bench closer to Debbie, just so she wasn’t to close to them. While the Sakura and Ino continued to bicker, Debbie diverted her attention to the students in the waiting area.
“Oh this is such a drag”
Debbie was reading Shikamaru’s mind and chuckled while she did, he obviously wasn’t enthusiastic about it and if he didn’t have to, he wouldn’t go down and fight. This caught Eliza’s attention and was intrigued at what Debbie was laughing at. Debbie explained what was going on and then started to relay the thoughts of his mind to Eliza which she found amusing as well.
“Oh come on. What are you doing moving these matches up like this, why does it have to be my stupid match that gets pushed up. Oh man, this is such a drag.” “Shikamaru Nara, come on!” The proctor called out impatiently “Great if it’s going to be like this maybe I should withdraw too”
They watched him as Naruto came jumping up behind him, startling him “Alright! Go on Shikamaru, you can do it!” whether it was by accident or by purpose, Naruto’s hand made impact with Shikamaru’s back and he was now on his way down to the fighting ground and fast. Debbie and Eliza laughed as they watched Shikamaru fall to the ground with a thud, landing flat out on his back. Shikamaru stayed on the ground for a while, still thinking to himself which Debbie and Eliza had a good giggle about it. The crowd started going wild as they got fed up waiting for Shikamaru to move and started throwing things at him followed by impatient boo’s. This guy was obviously not motivated at all and Temari saw to that, without waiting for the proctors signal, she charged at Shikamaru before jumping and hitting her fan to the ground like a hammer, it was followed by a big puff of smoke which cleared in no time to reveal Shikamaru standing above her, using Kunais as steps on the wall and a smirk across his face...
