I haven't heard from or seen Sakura-chan in a while. [nervous finger-tapping on the journal] I hope she's okay... Her name is still on her door... If anyone sees her, let me know? Please?

[he begins to write again but then stops, shaking his head and setting the journal aside to go and let off some steam through training of course! he's in the

[Hey Naruto, he walks up since he was passing by on the way to the woods and looks...very confused]

Naruto?

What are you doing?

[oirokenojutsu]

[keeps slapping the ground in frustration, cursing loudly until he sees Allen... and stops]

O-Oh, hey! [waves some, blood sort of dribbling down his thumb because he kept biting it] I'm trying to do my summoning technique but it's not... working!

[no he still has no idea it's his new loss.]

[save_the_souls]

Eh?! You're bleeding, Naruto!

And was that what you're trying to do?

[oirokenojutsu]

Huh? [looks at his finger and just wipes it off on his pants] It's fine, it's fine! I did that on purpose. It's for the jutsu but... [huffs and tries it ONE MORE TIME to no avail.] DAMN IT!

[save_the_souls]

[Ew....]

Maybe...it's a loss. If it's not working and it should be.

[oirokenojutsu]

It can't be! My loss is my necklace! [huffhuff] This would be a pointless temporary loss. I can do all my other jutsu.

[save_the_souls]

Well I can't think of any other reason...are you sure you never got your necklace back?

[oirokenojutsu]

If I got it back it wouldn't be my loss anymore, Allen.

[save_the_souls]

I don't know, it could be lost in your room!

But I can't think of any other reason why it wouldn't work, can you? Especially if the rest of your jutsu is working!

[oirokenojutsu]

That's the weird part! [sighs, wrinkling his nose] And I cleaned my room when I was on that... loss with everyone else, so I didn't find anything like that...

[save_the_souls]

Oh, I'm not sure then...

Unless maybe you're having an off day!

[oirokenojutsu]

Uzumaki Naruto never has an off day!!

[... back to slapping the ground in determination ;; HE'S NOT EVEN GETTING "POOF"S ANYMORE]

[save_the_souls]

[....he's going to break his thumb at this rate]

Naruto.

[oirokenojutsu]

I CAN DO THIS!!

[SLAPPITY.]

[save_the_souls]

[a sigh; when telling him no doesn't work it's time to distract]

I'm sure, but I was wondering if you'd like to go hunt a velociraptor with me.

[oirokenojutsu]

[this is why you're his bff]

[he looks up again, totally curious] ... Wait, what? The dinosaur?
