Academy Drama IV

"Wow! I didn't expect I would see a Nara fighting with Taijutsu!" Shizu said as she looked at Shikamaru. Even though they have met each other a few times, Shizu had never seen Shikamaru fight, so she is surprised by this.

"What did you expect them?" Naruto asked and Shizu smiled and said, "I thought he would say Troublesome and give up."

"Hahaha! He was about to do this." Naruto said while looking at Shikamaru, who was looking into the sky.

Some more matches happened with, Shino against Chouji, Random against Random, etc.

"Next Match, Sasuke Uchiha V/S Naruto Uzumaki"

Hearing this, Sasuke looked at Naruto, and with a snort, he arrived at the center. Seeing this, Naruto also arrived at the center with his hands in his pockets.

Sasuke's expression changed as he saw this and shouted, "Take this Seriously, You Bastard!"

"I am more than serious," Naruto said and he closed his eyes and used Kagura's Mind Eye to look around. Seeing this, Sasuke became more angry, and without Iruka starting the match, he rushed at Naruto and started to fight.

Naruto dodged all of Sasuke's moves and a minute later, Sasuke shouted, "Fight me Bastard and stop dodging."

"Idiot!" Naruto said without opening his eyes and hearing this, Sasuke's anger went to a peak and he made seals with his hand and shouted, "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu."

Seeing this, everyone's expression changed as this Taijutsu Examination, and Sasuke used a damaging Ninjutsu against his opponent. The Teachers around the ground panicked as they looked at Naruto, who had his eyes closed.

Seeing this, Naruto thought of using the Water Style technique, but then shook his head and disappeared from his place and arrived behind Sasuke with Body Flicker Technique.

"Take this, you bastard!" Sasuke shouted as he released his fireball and then he heard Naruto's voice behind him.

"Take what? Are you trying to light a candle? Don't you know that Fireball Technique doesn't do anything?"

Sasuke's expression changed and kicked back, but nothing happened, and when he turned behind, he saw no one.

"Where are you looking? I am here." He again heard Naruto's voice from behind, and he turned around but didn't find anyone.

"Where! Where! Where! Where!..."

"Are! Are! Are! Are! Are!...."

"You! You! You! You! You!..."

"Looking? Looking? Looking? Looking?..."

Sasuke heard voices from all directions and he held his hand and shouted, "Shut Up!"

Outside, everyone saw Naruto whispering in Sasuke's ears, he started to turn around and shout.

"Bye Bye Loser!" Naruto said, making sure Sasuke heard him, and he made Sasuke unconscious by attacking the back of his neck.

Iruka looked at Sasuke on the floor and Naruto who still kept his hand in his pockets and closed his eyes. He still didn't understand what happened in the match.

"Iruka Sensei, announce that I won the match." Naruto said as he looked at dumbfounded Iruka, who nodded unconsciously and said, "Winner, Naruto Uzumaki."

"HE cheated!"

"How is this possible??"

"How could Sasuke lose?"

Sakura shouted as she looked at her beloved Sasuke lying on the floor and before she could speak more, Shizu appeared in front of her and asked, "Pinky! Shut up or I will make you!"

"Wh-what?"' Sakura shouted with a scared expression as she looked at Shizu looking at her with Sharingan.

"No one cheated, Clan head's son was weak, so he lost. Next time, don't even think of shouting like this, or I will make sure you won't be able to speak for a day. Do you understand?"

Sakura nodded timidly and Shizu disappeared from the place and arrived back to Hinata and the others.

"That was a good match, You used Genjutsu on him, right?" Shizu asked and hearing this, Naruto tilted his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Hmm! Let's go!" Shizu said as she looked at Shikamaru, Hinata, and Naruto, who gave her confused looks and followed her.

They arrived at training ground two and saw three more people there.

Rock Lee, Tenten, and Neji Hyuuga.

"Why did you take so long?" Neji asked as he looked at Shizu and others behind her. His eyes fell on Naruto, Hinata, and Shikamaru, and he understood the reason.

"Yo! Lee, Tenten, and Neji!" Naruto said as he looked at the three.

...

Meanwhile, two people, who had watched the fight between Sasuke and Naruto shook their heads.

'Sasuke, you still don't understand!' Itachi thought as he looked at the unconscious Sasuke. Even though others couldn't see what Naruto did, he knew that Naruto was playing with Sasuke from the start, and the same is for his group, i.e. Hinata and Shikamaru.

'It seems I will have to do something to make Sasuke lower his pride. Too much, and he will become like stuck-up Uchihas.'

On the other hand, Minato thought,

'Sasuke Uchiha, Fugaku's son. Kushina and Mikoto talked their son would play with each and Naruto indeed played with Sasuke, but not in the way Kushina and Mikoto wanted. Still, I wonder why he did this? After all, I am sure that if he could, he would have graduated from the academy long ago like Kakashi, but he has friends who could graduate with him.'

They disappeared from the place, with Minato going back home, and Itachi keeping an eye on Naruto, as asked by Hokage to prevent any Root Ninjas from approaching him.

....

Days passed since the Taijutsu exam, with Naruto being first, Hinata being Second, and Shikamaru being third in class.

Shikamaru's Mother, i.e. Yoshina was overjoyed at the fact that Shikamaru fought in the exams and achieved third Rank in Class.

Hinata, at her clan, was admonished for letting a no-name get first Rank, but when she asked if they are sure that he is a no-name random civilian, everyone became silent, and with a snort, she left the room.

As for Naruto, Minato decorated the whole house in regards to this and they ate lunch together with Minato cooking, and later in his Mindscape, They played together with Kurumi and partied.
