The Moonlight Competition
Chapter 1 'The Sign-up'
It was an early Monday morning when Naruto found a flyer posted to a wall. "Hey guys! "he shouted to Sakura and Sasuke " Look at this! It's a Moonlight Competition!"
"So?" Sasuke didn't really care. "What is it?" Sakura asked. "Um…. I don't really know…Wait! It says it here! ", Naruto read aloud "Join the Moonlight Competition! It is a chance for young genin\chunin to prove themselves! You will have to fight in a dark room with no light. You must sense your opponent! The one to win will be given a glorious prize! The Moonlight Star! You must register until Monday the 15th of May in the Main Hall . The competition begins on the 16th of May at 8.50 AM. Good Luck! "
"Sounds all right. What do you think, Sasuke?" Sakura looked to Sasuke who was kicking stones.
"Uch…whatever"
"COOL!!" Naruto was jumping up and down.
Sakura chuckled "Come on you two. Let's sign up." Together they walked to the Main Hall. "Over There!" Naruto pointed to a line of people standing in front of a sign in sheet. Suddenly Naruto spotted Shino, Kiba and Hinata. He got very excited at the look of Hinata. "Hinataaaaa!" Naruto ran over to her. Sakura and Sasuke stayed behind. "It seems like he likes her" Sasuke told Sakura. "It seems like he does…" Sakura answered and smiled slightly, looking at Sasuke who blushed and turned away.
"Uh…hello…Naruto…" Hinata turned red and looked to the floor. Kiba saw him coming and got angry. "What are you doing here?" he grumbled.
"I was going to sign up", Naruto gave him a glare.
"Well then leave her be, idiot."
Kiba was starting to get jealous.
"I can talk to her if I want to and where I want to, moron!"
"Oh, shut up you two!" Shino yelled. "What's the big commotion about?" Sakura and Sasuke came running.
"Grrrrr…. "Akamaru was growling.
"Oh, does the big dog ninja have to call his puppy?"
"Kiba…"
"Shut up you idiot! "
"Kiba…."
"I AM NOT THE IDIOT HERE!!! THE IDIOT IS YOU, MR. DOGBRAIN!!"
"DOGBRAIN?! WHY YOU LITTLE….!"
"Kiba…."
"SHUT UP YOU……." Kiba stopped shouting and realized what he had done. "Hinata…." He wasn't looking at Naruto but at Hinata… Her face was burning red and she was about to faint. "Ah, you idiot!!" Naruto caught her as she was falling to the floor. Hinata regained consciousness after a while and pointed to the board with the list of participants "I'm sorry ….you can sign up now, Kiba…" the girl said weakly. "Um…" Kiba turned red. Hinata was asking herself who was holding her so she looked into the face of the person. "Naruto!!!" Hinata exclaimed. "Oh, dear..." Shino quickly took her from Naruto's arms and lifted her into the air himself. " Before she faints again , I think we best be going. We have to train. We will see you guys tomorrow " So Kiba , who gave a snort as he turned around, Shino, with Hinata in his arms, and Hinata ,who was as red as ever , left. " She's got it bad." Sasuke said. "What?" Naruto turned to Sasuke and then to Sakura who was laughing now "What has she got bad?"
"Well, let's say she's got a tiny problem with the sight of you"
"Huh? What d'you mean? She doesn't like me? What? Come on!!! Tell meeeeee!"
but Sakura and Sasuke were both signing their names on the list and were leaving. Naruto hastily wrote down his name and went after them.
"GUYS!!!! TELL ME!!"
Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other and started to laugh.
"Oh! That's not fair!! "
"I think we can tell you this: No, she likes you. REALLY likes you"
"Well, okay that's ….wait …what does 'REALLY likes me' mean?"
Both laughed again and ran away.
"UNFAAAAIIIIR!!!!DATTEBAYOOOO!!!" Naruto ran after them and looked forward to tomorrow.
