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!

[sofaultless]

[there by coincidence; she folds her arms and raises her eyebrows]

Whatever you're trying to do not only isn't working, but it looks ridiculous, too.

[oirokenojutsu]

[oh man, that voice. they haven't spoken for a while >_> he was sort of avoiding her and glares up when she speaks]

Well, I don't get why it's not working! I haven't had trouble with it for years!

[sofaultless]

[watches, calmly]

What is it, exactly?

[oirokenojutsu]

Kuchiyose no Jutsu! A summoning technique. I can do it just fine at home... And I could a few months ago, too.

[broughtbiggun]

[And suddenly she feels an enormous amount of pity for Sasuke.]

...Naruto? You okay there?

[oirokenojutsu]

[osidhasidj SHUSH]

NO! [ground slapping still like a moron] WHY. WON'T. THIS. WORK?

[broughtbiggun]

[Remind her to give him a sympathy cake or something soon.]

I...don't know? Maybe you're trying too hard.

[oirokenojutsu]

[so mean :(]

I shouldn't have to! I've mastered this!!

[oirokenojutsu]

[nearly jumps from the random voice, blinking and turning until he sees him]

Oh, hey! [scratches the side of his nose] It's a summoning technique! I can summon nin-toads with it but... it's not working for some stupid reason.

[oirokenojutsu]

[shakes his head stubbornly] It can't be! I know what my loss is. It hasn't changed since I got here.

[yamanaka]

I haven't heard from her, either. I thought she was with you.

[oirokenojutsu]

[orz now he's more worried] Even you don't know where she is?!

[yamanaka]

No ... maybe she turned into some sort of plant or something that can't write or speak?

[oirokenojutsu]

... I actually hope that's what happened, really.
