Chapter 2. Additional shooting instructions
December 19, 2023 at 11:06 AM
Another school day. Sasuke, as usual, was sitting at his desk and looking out the window.
Naruto came up to him and sat down next to him.
- Hi there. What are you missing?
- As usual.
- I see,- he said, rocking back in his chair. - And why?
Uchiha chuckled.
- Why what? Why do I miss you? Or why "as usual"?
- Both, - the blond man smiled.
- I don't know. It's just boring. That's why I miss you, - Sasuke has already started copying Naruto for nothing to do. It turned out to be quite interesting.
- Let's be friends,- the blond man said, smiling, holding out his hand. - Then it won't be boring for sure.
- Well, look, you said it yourself.
Uchiha held out his hand in response.
- Shall we go for a walk? To the canteen, for example. Or outside. If we are late for class, it will definitely not be boring!
Sasuke closed his eyes and smiled.
- By the way. If you really want to go out so badly, I can suggest that you come with me to the extra ones today.
- What are the additional ones?
- Which the teacher was talking about.
- Oh, you mean the shooting? Okay, I don't mind. But then we go for a walk!
- Whatever you say.
Today was Friday, so there was no need to worry about homework.
After lessons, the guys went to look for Kakashi.
- Oh, guys. Are you on extra? Well, then let's go.
They took their rifles and went down to the shooting range. Kakashi told them the safety rules and explained how to shoot.
- Now you need to aim and shoot.
"He's pretty accurate."
- It's your turn.
Naruto and Sasuke walked over to the table. Taking three bullets from Kakashi, they loaded one into the rifle. They leaned their elbows on the table and took aim.
- Are you ready? Fire.
Sasuke checked again if he had aimed accurately, then pulled the trigger. Naruto followed suit.
- Great, let's go to the targets.
The guys put down their rifles and went after Kakashi.
- Naruto-kun, you should aim a little lower and to the left. Sasuke-kun, it's pretty good, but you should aim a little to the left too. As it is, you shoot pretty well for the first time. Well done, - Hatake smiled under the mask.
So they fired two more times.
- Great. Now you know how to use a rifle. Keep up the good work and you'll make great snipers,- Kakashi joked.
Sasuke smiled and looked at Naruto. Naruto smiled back.
- Well, do you want to shoot some more, or is that enough for today?
- We do,- the blond man agreed, and Kakashi handed them a few more bullets.
When those were over, Kakashi praised them again. The guys helped the teacher take the rifles to the armory, after which, saying goodbye, they left the school.
- Well, do you want to go for a walk now?
- You can. We'll just drop off our briefcases.
While Naruto was getting ready, Sasuke managed to warn Itachi on the phone.
- Now you can go, - said Naruto, coming out to him already in a red hoodie.
- Yeah.
The guys went for a walk around the city, sharing their impressions of today's lesson with each other along the way.
