“I still can’t believe you’re back, teme!” Naruto clapped him on the back excitedly. “You’ve missed so much!”
After another meeting with Kakashi regarding his reinstatement as a full Konoha shinobi, Naruto insisted he come along and train with the rest of Team 7. An offer Kakashi insisted he shouldn’t pass up so now he was being dragged away by the blond jinchuriki and his motor mouth. Something’s never changed. As they walked by, people openly stared and whispered about his return. It used to bother him but now he was able to ignore them, except for the occasional giggling he knew was directed at him. That, that did bother him.
“So is it true?” Naruto asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.
“What?” He took one look at Naruto’s wide, smiling face and narrowed his eyes.
“That you’re staying with Sa-ku-ra-chan?”
He had half a mind to knock the smile right off his whiskered face. He could literally see the indecent thoughts rolling around in that empty brain of his and while Naruto knowing of his sleeping arrangements hardly bothered him, the way he said it was another story. He wanted Sakura, but he certainly wasn’t about to announce his intentions to the whole nosy village. One nosy blonde was enough.
“Aa,” he replied shortly and began to walk faster towards the training ground, leaving said nosy blonde behind with a semi shocked expression and mouth open.
“Well good,” Naruto surprised him by saying as soon as he caught up. “She works too much and barely takes care of herself, perhaps a roommate will be good for her. An actual good roommate.”
That last remark bothered him.
“You sound like she’s had a lot of roommates,” he retorted.
Naruto shrugged. “A couple. They were all assholes, honestly.”
He frowned. The thought of Sakura living with another person – man – made him uncomfortable. No, not uncomfortable; jealous. It made him jealous. The realization stumped him for he had never felt jealousy quite like this. A deep, possessive feeling nestled at the pit of his stomach that made him curse any man who came within proximity of the pink-haired beauty. He shook those thoughts away as they reached the training grounds. Naruto quickly made his way over to a figure sitting under a tree, drawing it seemed.
Sai, he remembered his name to be. The one who had replaced him in Team 7 after he defected.
“Hey Sai!” Naruto grinned. “Is Yamato-taichou coming?”
“Hello Dickless,” Sai greeted Naruto. “I do believe he is coming later.”
Naruto grumbled at the nickname. “Fine, what about Sakura-chan?”
