Naruto Vol.1 The Tests Of The Ninja Journal Entry 3

Issue 3 Enter Sasuke (85-107) It starts Naruto sitting in the Ninja Academy ready to be put into a three man squad of genin, like himself. A fellow graduate ninja comes and ask Naruto why he showed since it is only for students who have graduated. Naruto would say that he did graduate as he points to his headband. Then we are introduced to Sakura Haruno, a pink haired kunoichi (female ninja) who has a quick temper, a girl that Naruto has a crush on. When Naruto thinks that she is saying hi to him and says hi she says to move it so she could sit next to the guy next to Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha is a brooding loner student who every girl likes, including Sakura, and who Naruto hates because Sasuke is better than him in every way and thinks he's better than everyone. Naruto then jumps on his desk and stares down Sasuke while all the girls, who all have a crush on Sasuke, are telling Sasuke to beat him up and telling Naruto to get away from Sasuke. As they stare down, a student who was sitting in front of Sasuke accidently pushes Naruto forward where he & Sasuke accidently kiss. All the girls get mad because Naruto ended up being Sasuke's first kiss instead of any of them so all the girls, including Sakura, beat Naruto to a pulp. Iruka then tells everyone to sit down as he announces the squads. For Team 7 he announces Naruto, Sakura (in which Naruto says hooray & Sakura sulks in sadness) and Sasuke (in which Sakura says hooray and Naruto sulks in sadness). Naruto then asks why he, a great ninja, was put with a worthless excuse of one like Sasuke. Iruka explained that they in order to balance out the teams he put the best student, Sasuke, with the worst student, Naruto. Later on, Naruto then does a foolish move where he sneak attacks Sasuke while he's eating lunch in his apartment, but Sasuke would end up leaving unscathed. It then cuts to Sakura sitting on a bench hoping that Sasuke would notice her eventually then Sasuke would appear looking interested in Sakura. He then asks her what she thinks of Naruto saying that Naruto is very annoying and always gets in the way and says that all she thinks about is Sasuke and only wants to be with Sasuke and as she moves in to kiss him it cuts to Sasuke's apartment where it shows the real Sasuke all tied up. Before Sakura could kiss this impostor Sasuke, he would clench his stomach with a worried look in his face and leaves to go to the bathroom. In the bathroom, the impostor Sasuke would reveal himself to be Naruto as he planned to attack Sasuke, turn into him, and find out how Sakura feels about him. As he comes out of the bathroom, Naruto decides that he should try to make Sakura hate Sasuke. Back to where Sakura was at, the real Sasuke appears and Sakura calls out to him so they could finish what they started. Sasuke where ask her where Naruto is at. Sakura says that they should stop talking about Naruto because he ruins everything and gets in the way of things who Sakura blames it on how he was brought up without parents. As she explains how having no family makes people selfish and that if she did the things that Naruto does she would get grounded. Sasuke appears to be getting mad and says that it also makes you lonely and that getting scolded by your parents doesn't even compare and says that "you make me sick" to Sakura. After Naruto leaves the bathroom he gets confronted by Sasuke who says that a simple rope technique can't keep a good ninja down and that he should keep that in mind. It then cuts to Naruto's apartment where the Third Hokage is showing Kakashi Hatake one of his new student's apartment. Kakashi then picks up an expired carton of milk that is empty and states that anyone who drinks this would be in the bathroom for days. The Third Hokage then entrusts the responsibility of training Team 7 to him and wishes him luck.
