Choose your own Naruto Adventure- Stick closer to Sai P264
From Create Your Own Story
You decide to stick closer to travelling with Sai...despite the initial...'disagreement'.
You set out normally on foot...just walking.
You walk alongside Sai and he doesn't really pay you any mind...probably because Naruto is glaring at him.
"What is it?" He asks the blonde ninja.
Naruto just continues glaring at him.
You smile to yourself, knowing that he is comparing Sai to Sasuke.
"Please stop staring at me...don't make me hit you." Sai remarks.
"Every damn thing you say just pisses me off more!" Naruto thrusts his fist up in front of himself.
You sigh as Naruto continues to squabble with Sai who only keeps up his fake smile and attitude.
"Why the hell are you here!?" Naruto snaps at him. "All you do is piss people off!"
"Calm down Naruto...he might be a pain in the ass, but he's part of your team now..." You sigh.
"Why are you taking that bastard's side?!" Naruto yells.
"I'm not taking anyone's side!" You yell back.
"Hey hey...Naruto don't say something like that...especially in front of your Captain." Yamato interrupts.
"Teamwork and cooperation are the most important things in a team...I thought that Kakashi-san had already taught you this?" He continues. "Someone like you in a team with the great Kakashi-san...what is it with you?"
"That's because he's not a member of Team Kakashi!" Naruto snaps whilst pointing towards Sai angrily. "The other member of team Kakashi is Sasuke!!!"
Everyone falls silent.
"This guy is just taking Sasuke's place...someone chosen to fill the gap...I'll never consider a person like him to be a member of the team..."
Sai just smiles in response, "Well, I'm glad you think of me that way."
'Oh Fuck...' You think knowing Sai is about hit a nerve.
"I would hate to be likened to the weak shit-for-brains Orochimaru clone who only cared about power and ran off to him betraying Konoha."
You inhale sharply.
"Y-You bastard..." Naruto growls without a doubt he would have lunged for Sai right then, had Sakura not stopped him.
"Teamwork truly is the most important thing..." She remarks whilst regarding Sai coldly. "Sai...Naruto doesn't know you all that well...he just said too much...please forgive him..."
"Sa-Sakura-chan." Naruto says quietly...you can tell that he's a little hurt.
"I'm glad that at least one of you is reasonable." Yamato sighs in relief.
"Think nothing of it." Sai smiles.
"That's good." Sakura returns it and you hastily step away from Sai's side before Sakura gives him a mother of a punch to the face.
"So much for that..." you sigh whilst Yamato's face is frozen in an expression of shock and dismay.
"On the other hand...me you don't have to forgive..." Sakura tells him darkly.
"You fooled me completely...that fake laugh before..." Sai comments as he rubs at his sore jaw.
"You don't know anything about Sasuke-kun, so don't talk as if you do...If you badmouth him one more time...I won't hold back..." Sakura continues.
"Gotcha, I won't say anything in front of you..." Sai says as he rises from where he had been knocked down still smiling. "...But that you can use a fake smile like that...I'll keep that in mind..."
"You've just been hit! Why are you being so cheerful?!" Naruto demands.
"A smile's the best way to get out of trouble. Even if it's fake...and it seems to fool everyone...I read that in a book once." Sai explains. "Doesn't look like it's working here though..."
Now before any of you could react you hear Yamato say something along the lines of "Shichuu-tou no jutsu!"
And before you know it, the four of you are enclosed within a huge wooden cage.
"What the hell did *I* do!?" You demand indignantly at being falsely imprisoned.
"If you guys won't stop arguing, I'll have to toss you into a cage."
"I wasn't arguing!" You exclaim.
Yamato just ignores you though.
"As the mediator here...here's my proposition." Yamato explains. "You can spend a day or so in the cage to work out your differences..."
"A day?!" You are not very happy.
"...Or we can go to a hotel with a hot springs." He continues. "You guys don't really know me well either...I like being nice and friendly but...I don't have any problems with ruling by fear either..."
'Crap, I forgot he could be this creepy..." You think to yourself.
Needless to say you all know which option you'd prefer.
So you end up at a hotel with a hot springs and you're together with Sakura at the women's side.
"I've never really been to a hot springs before." You tell her.
"Are you serious?" She gasps.
"Yeah...it's really nice..." You sigh, enjoying the water.
"What a day..." Sakura sighs.
"You got that right...remind me not to get on your bad side...or Captain Yamato's for that matter." You shudder.
"Yeah...I had no idea he could be so scary..." Sakura remarks.
The two of you continue chatting some more before you hear Naruto yelling, "Don't look! Why do you keep going on about penises anyway?!"
You along with the other women there start laughing while Sakura freezes up in embarrassment.
"That's Naruto for you..." You giggle whilst Sakura just shakes her head.
After the hot springs bath...
You and Sakura are sharing a room and she falls asleep fairly quickly whilst you have some trouble with it...eventually you just get up and decide to go out for some fresh air to help you sleep.
You tiptoe out of the room carefully so as not to wake the pink-haired kunoichi and make your way into the corridor and from there outside.
After about five minutes you spot a figure in the dark...you approach it with care and reach out your hand. Before you could do anymore, you find yourself being pinned to the ground.
"Hey, what's the big idea?!" You snap trying to free yourself and your captor quickly releases you.
"Oh. It's you." A voice remarks.
"Sai?" You rise from the ground, straightening your clothes.
"What are you doing here?" He asks.
"I could ask you the same question...I couldn't sleep so I went out for some fresh air..." You explain.
"You defended me earlier, why?"
You roll your eyes, but since it's dark, he probably can't see, "I did not defend you...I mean, Naruto's right in a way...you do cause a lot of trouble...and what you said about Sasuke...yes, he did leave Konoha for Orochimaru...but you had no right to say what you did either...it was inappropriate."
"Still you said that I was part of the team."
You shrug, "I was just stating the facts..."
"I see..."
"Why do you always hit on people's nerves like that?" You ask, "Do you want to upset others? Do you want to cause conflict?"
Sai does not answer.
"Well...I might head back in now...interesting talking to you..." You say as you turn to go, "Good night."
"Good night..." Sai responds.
