64Summary: My two friends and me get transported into the Naruto world. What kind of chaos can ensue when a hater of Naruto, a fan of Naruto, and a little bit of a ditz end up in Konoha?
Disclaimer: If you're reading this you know I'm not Kishimoto-sensei so Naruto and all of its characters don't belong to me sadly, but I do own Kris and Mandi so there.

A/N: I'm SOO SORRY! I have a couple good reasons why I haven't updated; Number one, I had a horrible case of writer's block. Number two, when I got out of my rut, I sort of lost interest in writing this story and didn't feel like writing it anymore. Number three, I'm very lazy…. I'm worse than Shikamaru!
Shikamaru: Troublesome… someone who is lazier than me…
I'm so ashamed! TT Anyway here's the long awaited chapter!
Chapter 7
TRAINING FROM HELL!
"NOW WE SHALL BEGIN TRAINING WITH A HUNDRED LAPS AROUND KONOHA!" He said with a smile.
With that sentence I started to dread 'training' with Gai.
"A hundred laps?! You've got to be kidding!" Kris said her eyes the size of saucers, but Gai wasn't even listening, he was telling Lee his self-punishment if he could not accomplish this feat, a thousand one-handed pushups with a sack of potatoes on his back. Lee cheered for his beloved sensei and agreed to partake in this punishment if he failed.
I sweat-dropped at this sight and Tenten replied, "Well he's…. eccentric, but he's being serious. He wants us to run 100 laps around Konoha."
"One HUNDRED laps! There's no way in hell we can do that!" Mandi exclaimed, cursing the world loudly, something she never does.
"She's right, we were just civilians yesterday, and we've never done anything like this." I replied, still shocked at my friend's behavior.
Tenten looked startled by this revelation. "Just yesterday? What did you do?" She asked innocently.
"Uhh…." I said trying to find a way to make up for my error. Thankfully Kris came up with the perfect excuse, "It's classified." She interjected.
"Oh, well Neji and I can never keep up with Lee and Gai-sensei's speed anyway, so we just run until they stop." Tenten said with curiosity still brimming in her voice form the previous question and mysterious answer.
"ALRIGHT MY YOUTHFUL PUPILS AND TEMPORARY PUPILS, LETS BEGIN!"
"Ossu!" (yes/ yes sir) Gai and Lee said as they sped off, leaving a long trail of dust behind them, making us cough and cover our faces until the cloud of dust was gone. By then Gai and Lee were long gone. Tenten and Neji started running after their teammates, their arms out behind them to give them balance as they ran.
"We better get going." I said as a started a jog.
4 Hours later…
By now I was cursing Gai with every fiber of my being. With every agonizing step I took I thought of another way to kill him. Step, set rabid dogs on him, step, throw him in a pit of venomous snakes, step, slip him poison into his lunch, step lure him to meeting Gaara in a dark ally during the full moon…
I walked into the training field and collapsed onto the grass, gasping for air, aching all over.
"NOW THAT ALL MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS ARE HERE, LET'S CONTINUE TO STOKE THE FIRES OF YOUTH!" Gai exclaimed, his teeth shining with the light of a thousand suns. (A/N: Yeah I'm the last to arrive, I may have more chakra than Kris and Mandi, but I'm built for strength and stamina, not speed.)
I still just lay there, wishing, mentally, for a bottle of water to help soothe my dry throat. And, as if answering my mental prayer, I saw a water bottle hovering in front of my face.
"Here, you look like you could use it." Tenten said, putting it into my outstretched hand.
I sat up and chugged about half of it in one go. "Thank… you." I said in between breaths, "Sorry, I almost drank all of your water."
"No, it's okay. I have more." She said as she opened a pack she brought, revealing six more bottles of water. "It's better to be safe than sorry."
"Yeah, we should of thought of that." I said, inwardly scolding myself for not being prepared, but my thoughts were cut off by the booming voice of Gai.
"NOW WE WILL HAVE YOUTHFUL SPARRING MATCHES!"
'Shit,' I thought to myself, 'More than likely we'll be paired to go against on of Gai's students, and neither of us will be able to be them! We'll be pulverized!
You have to dodge all of Neji's attacks or else he'll seal off your chakra, knocking you out.
Lee is fast, really fast and those kicks and punches can obliterate logs; I don't want to be on the receiving end of those.
Tenten is a weapons specialist, and she never misses her mark… unless of course you're a wind jutsu user like Temari, but that's not the point, even if they are dummy kunai, shuriken, and all of those weapons she uses you'll get bruises.'
I raised my hand, a habit I developed from school. "Uh… Gai-sensei, could we not spar and do something else instead? Like a mission? Neither my friends nor I can hope to stand up to Neji, Lee, or Tenten. They have a lot more experience than us and we don't even know how to mold chakra yet."
"WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT YOU HAVE ALMOST NO CHANCE AGAINST MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS…"
'Jeez…. Confident much?"
"… ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO LEARN IS THROUGH EXPERIENCE! THROUGH YOUR DEFEAT, YOU MAY LEARN WHAT NOT TO DO IF YOU'RE EVER IN A SIMILAR SITUATION!" He replied, his teeth sparkling with unnatural shininess.
"Okay…" I replied with a sweatdrop. "So… how are we going to figure out who spars whom?"
"NEJI WILL SPAR WITH LIZZIE, LEE SHALL SPAR WITH MANDI, AND TENTEN SHALL SPAR WITH KRIS!" Gai said with a 'ping'.
"What are the rules?" asked Kris asked curiously.
"NO JUTSU AND NO 'ACTIVE' WEAPONS! FIRST TO DO 'LETHAL' DAMAGE TO AN OPPONENT, SUCH AS KNOCKING AN OPPONENT OUT OR HITTING A VITAL SPOT ON THE BODY WITH THE DUMMY WEAPONS WINS!" Gai announced happily with YOUTH! (A/N: active weapons are real kunai and shuriken)
"Okay, who goes first?" I asked.
"NEJI AND LIZZIE SHALL START THEIR SPAR OF YOUTHFULNESS FIRST!"
'Crap! What did I do to deserve this!' I thought screaming in my head.
"Hn," Neji replied, "Why don't you just give up? You're destined to lose anyway, Fate is on my side."
'Oh yeah, Neji is a total jerk right now. Naruto has to TOTALLY kick his ass! … Not before I kick Naruto's ass for the insult! How dare he call me fat! I'm not fat! Just… big boned! Yeah! GO BIG BONED PEOPLE!' I thought to myself, subconsciously getting myself pumped to try and kick Naruto and Neji's asses to the curb.
"ARE THE YOUTHFUL OPPONENTS READY!"
"Hai!"
"Hn."
"THEN 3… 2… 1… HAJIME!" (A/N: Begin!)
And the spars began.
A/N: I'm EXTREMELY sorry for the extreme wait, and shortness of the chapter! I'll try to update more often, and I'm going to TRY and write the spars next chapter, but I've never written an action or fight sequence before… so it'll probably be lame… But I'll try :D Please R/R! Later! (Hopefully not too much later! ;)
