"You're such a damn hypocrite, Forehead Girl!" Ino retorted, then explained, "What if that didn't happen, and he ended up kissing Sasuke by accident anyway? You'd have tried to attack and beat him up regardless! You're just jealous because Naruto found it more fitting that I be used to give Sasuke-kun his first kiss instead of someone like you! (Dreamily) And unlike you, I was privileged in being used to sample the sweet taste of Sasuke-kun's lips as our tongues met and danced together."
Sakura and the other girls were seething as they redirected their bloodlust from Naruto to Ino. Naruto used that momentary distraction to sneak away and make a quick exit from the class. That was, until Sasuke reappeared through the door with a hardened expressions.
"Hey Sasuke!" Naruto greeted. "I didn't expect to see you so soon. And what's with that face you're looking at me with? Now that you know what kissing a girl is like, I figured that perhaps now you would focus on trying to get Ino-"
"Fight me," Sasuke challenged. "Right now!"
"What?" Naruto retorted, then complained, "I just barely got away from your fangirls wanting a fight with me, and now you want to fight me as well? Can't we just laugh this off and move on with our-"
"Fight me Naruto!" Sasuke challenged again. "I've been meaning to show you your place and the difference between the two of us, dobe! I want to show that your time isn't worth seeking!"
Shikamaru and the other guys knew what Sasuke meant by his last statement. He was referring to Naruto's time with Hinata.
"It's about Hinata-chan," Naruto figured as he scratched the back of his head. "Well, despite that, I can see that you're not too upset about the kiss incident with Ino."
"Considering the alternative," Sasuke remarked. "I'd have killed you brutally."
"Oh yeah?" Naruto shot back. "Regardless of the fact that it's the fault of some idiot who stood up at the worst time possible as he knocked the desk I was crouching down on top of? He was the one who started this whole mess!"
The said unnamed male Genin was now nervous, fearing that he was going to be exposed and beaten badly for causing the accident in the first place.
"Still," Naruto continued, "I've been meaning to challenge you to another battle so I could put you in your place! Only this time, I'll be sure to keep you there! The academy training ground, right now, teme!"
"Let's settle this, dobe!" Sasuke accepted before he and Naruto made their way to their destination with the whole class following after them.
"This is so unnecessarily troublesome," Shikamaru remarked with boredom as he went along with the rest of the class, "There's really no point in all this."
"C'mon," Kiba replied, "On the plus side of things, we get to see a free fight between the Rookie of the Year and this year's Dead Last."
It wasn't long before the crowd of Genins arrived at their destination. The group kept a safe distance in case things got out of hand between the two combatants.
"All right, teme," Naruto said. "Here are the ground rules: anything goes! Use whatever jutsu or force you see fit!"
"You're really asking for it," Sasuke replied, smirking. "You don't stand a chance dobe."
"Oh yeah?" Naruto retorted before making a hand sign. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"
With a burst of white smoke, three Naruto clones puffed into existence and surrounded Sasuke with the original at all four sides. Sakura and Sasuke's other fangirls were cheering him on, while Ino was divided between wanting to cheer Sasuke on and not wanting Naruto be beaten up too bad after what he did.
Before Sasuke could do anything, Naruto and his kage bunshins burst into white smoke. When the smoke cleared, granting everyone sight again, everyone now saw Naruto and his clones transformed into Hinata, Hanabi, Shikamaru, and Hiruzen. Everyone was wondering what Naruto was trying to pull.
"Sasuke-san," one of the transformed kage bunshin said, imitating Hinata's voice, character and appearance, "Y-You can't ha-have me. I belong to Naruto-kun. I have for a long time. A-a-and he belongs to me. Our hearts beat as one. I have no romantic feelings or desires for you."
"Hanabi" jumped in and said, "I don't know why you're so interested in my sister. I don't even need my Byakugan to see that she doesn't like you. So why do you insist on pursuing Hinata-neesan when she made it clear time and time again that she'll never be your girlfriend?"
"Shikamaru" placed his hands in his pants pockets and remarked with boredom, "Your interest in Hinata is really troublesome and a waste of everyone's time. There's no way you'll ever have romantic ties with her, and she clearly doesn't want that with you. It's tiring watching you yearning pitifully for Naruto's girlfriend."
"Hiruzen" now spoke up, "Understand this, Sasuke. A team consisting of the Byakugan and Sharingan will not happen. And I definitely won't allow it if it's just to satisfy your own selfish desires in having some way of seducing and influencing Hinata to fall for you and forsake the one person she felt genuine affections for. Henceforth, my decree to you is…"
Naruto dropped the transformations, dispelled his kage bunshins, and stated firmly, "Get over it!"
By this point, Sasuke's blood was boiling after listening to all of the stinging comments and remarks that were being made against him.
"When I get through with you," Sasuke threatened with a hardened tone. "There won't be enough left to identify your body."
"Would you, as the Rookie of the Year, really go so far as to break Hinata-chan's heart by hurting the Dead Last she loves," Naruto replied, "She would never forgive you, nor would she accept your comfort."
"Shut up!," Sasuke growled before he rushed at Naruto who in turned rushed at him. The two met in the center of the training and engaged each other in fierce taijutsu combat. Many of the guys were rooting and shouting as the two Genins battled it out against each other.
(Back Inside The Building)
Hinata was making her way back to class after fixing herself in the girls' restroom. Upon her return to class, she found that no one was there.
"Where did everybody go?" Hinata asked with a confused expression. A moment later, her ears picked up on a faint mixed sound of screaming, yelling and cheering. Going over to the window, she looked outside and saw a large crowd of Genins circled around Naruto and Sasuke as they engaging each other in an all-but-friendly taijutsu battle.
