Konoha Public Access Television!

Author's Note: Hello people! This is my first fanfic in a LONG while, and I hope you like it. Naruto and the gang (EVERYONE) have to run a TV station, and due to some poor choices on Tsunade's behalf, they must get 500 people to watch PER DAY. Please enjoy, and review! I need all your comments/criticism!

This takes place pre-Shippuuden. Can't have major characters dying on me now can I?


Chapter One: W-KTV is Born

One day, in Tsunade's Office.....

Tsunade is sitting at her desk, overlooking a formal document. Shizune stands at her side, worried. A man with a nice suit & tie, as well as a briefcase, is sitting in front of the desk, awaiting Tsunade's response.

Tsunade: So just sign here?

Businessman: Yes, also sign here.....here.....and here.....

Shizune: Are you sure this is a good idea, Lady Tsunade?

Tsunade: Don't worry, everything will work out fine!

Shizune: For your sake I hope so.

Businessman: ...and here. Great! I'm glad the terms are clear to you.

The businessman grabs the piece of paper off of the desk and stuffs it in his briefcase.

Tsunade: You bet! It's about time Konoha had it's own channel.

Businessman: I couldn't agree more! Here's your copy of the contract. Thank you for doing your business with OwnItAll Co., Ma'am!

The man gets up from his seat, gives Tsunade a new piece of paper, bows in respect, and leaves the office.

Tsunade: This was a great idea!

Shizune: ...that you came up with while you were drunk.

Tsunade: That's irrelevant. What MATTERS is that we get money from them, for doing nothing!

Tsunade hold up the copy and smiles as she looks at the agreement.

Tsunade: $3,000 a week! A WEEK! That'll buy us new equipment, school repairs...

Shizune: Let me see that.

Shizune grabs the sheet of paper and begins to read it carefully.

Tsunade: It's there in black and white. All we gotta do is endlessly run their ads on channel 5, and we get the money!

Shizune: .....uh, Lady Tsunade.....it's not that simple.....look here.

She holds the piece of paper up to Tsunade and points to a line in the fine print. Tsunade begins to read the line aloud.

Tsunade: '.....run ads on the network.....blah blah blah.....3,000 dollars.....blah blah blah.....'

Shizune: Keep going.

Tsunade: '.....the Konoha Public Access Channel must recieve a viewer rating of at least 500, or the money is forfeit, and Konoha will be charged a $1000 fine.....' WHAT?!?

Shizune: We're in trouble.

Tsunade: HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET 500 PEOPLE TO WATCH ADS?!?

Shizune: And they need to watch for a whole hour. No less.

Tsunade: Damn damn DAMN!!! I knew that guy was full of garbage!

Shizune: This is bad.....this is very bad.

Tsunade: We can't afford that much debt!

Shizune: And if we can't pay the debt.....

Tsunade: The OwnItAll Co. will repossess Konoha.....crap. Well couldn't we just make people watch! If Konoha's in danger, I'm sure...

Shizune: We can't! It's against the contract to force people to watch television, not to mention against the law. We HAVE to put something up.

Tsunade: Hmm.....I guess we could try to run shows on the network.

Shizune: Who could we get? We don't have enough money in the budget to have real shows on our network.

Tsunade: Wait.....I think I got it!

Shizune: What?

Tsunade: The Genin and Chunin! They have been dying for missions.

Shizune: Your not seriously considering using the.....

Tsunade: GET ME THE GENIN AND CHUNIN NOW!

Shizune: .....I'll get right on it.


Meanwhile.....

Team Kakashi is at the training ground, bored out of their wits.

Naruto: DAMNIT IM SO BORED!

Sasuke: Quit your complaining. We're bored too.

Naruto: Kakashi-Sensei has been gone for almost 5 days now!

Sakura: He's off on a mission, you know that.

Naruto: BUT WHY CAN'T I HAVE ONE? I feel useless sitting here like a lump! I've been doing nothing but eating ramen and watching TV.

Sakura: I'm sure we'll get a mission.....eventually.

Naruto: I'm about to go wreak some havoc in the Sand Village just so I can get a mission to go stop myself.

Sasuke: .....that was either the second or third stupidest thing you've ever said.

Sakura: I'm going with third. 'Believe It!' and 'Dattebayo!' top the list.

Naruto: Hmph! *Pouts*

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke appears in fron of the three nin. They all jump up and get into a battle stance. As the smoke clears, they see a note.

Naruto: Well that's weird.

He walks over to the note and picks it up.

Sakura: What's it say?

Naruto: 'All Genin and Chunin report to the Fifth Hokage's office immediately for special orders.'

Sasuke: 'Special Orders'? Sounds important.

Naruto: WOOHOO A MISSION! LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GOOOOOO!

Naruto rushes away in blazing speed.

Sakura: ....he's going the wrong way.

Sasuke: Don't worry, he'll realize it sooner or later. We'd better get going.

Sasuke and Sakura begin running toward the Hokage's office. A few seconds later, Naruto starts chasing them.

Naruto: YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME I WAS GOING THE WRONG WAAAAAYYY!!!!!


Back at Tsunade's Office, a few minutes later.....

A whole crowd of genin and chunin are in Tsunade's Office. They are all talking about what's going on.

Ino: What's this all about anyway?

Kiba: I heard that Sand Village got attacked.

Tenten: No way, we would have heard about that much sooner. I bet it's about Jonin promotions!

Shino: Maybe someone did something wrong and she's trying to find out who.

Neji: Well it wasn't me.

Choji: I bet Naruto did something again.

Naruto: Way to place the blame, CHOJI.

Shikamaru: He's probably right you know.

Akamaru: *RUFF*

Sakura: It's not Naruto, he's been a couch potato all week.

Sasuke: Putting it lightly.

Lee: You should TRAIN more Naruto!

Naruto: I don't need your lectures!

Hinata: You don't n-need to train m-more Naruto.....

Naruto: See! She knows what she's talking about!

Tsunade: ENOUGH!

Everyone quieted down instantly.

Tsunade: Now then, I have a very special assignment for all of you. Due to a.....*ahem*.....misunderstanding, Konoha now has it's own TV station.

Tenten: How is that a misunderstanding? That sounds great!

Shizune: The problem is, if we don't get enough people to watch, we have to pay a fine.

Shino: Of how much?

Tsunade: .....One-thousand dollars.....

All: WHAT?!?

Shizune: Per week. For 6 months!

Sasuke: Who would agree to that?!?

Shizune glares at Tsunade, who replies with a grin.

Shizune: Basically, we're asking you to run the station for 6 months, running entertaining programming so at least 500 people watch per day.

Tsunade: If we don't get the views, we lose the money. If we don't have the money.....they get the deed to Konoha.

Naruto: WHAT?!?

Ino: You can't be serious!

Tsunade: I wish I wasn't.

Neji: Couldn't you force people to.....

Tsunade: Against the law.....and the contract.

Kiba: Well.....what shows will we be airing?

Tsunade: That's the hard part. It's entirely up to you. You guys have to write, produce, and air all the shows on the station.

Shikamaru: Your kidding. Even with all of us ninjas combined, it would take planning, and formatting, and.....

Everyone Else: WE'LL DO IT!

Shikamaru: *sigh*


Minutes later, in the W-KTV Station.....

Tsunade and Shizune lead the nin inside the building. It's beaten up, run down, and full of cobwebs.

Choji: Well this place is a dump.

Shizune: It'll have to do, this is where you will be filming your shows, as well as editing and formatting.

Ino: This place smells like dead rats.

Sakura: It's covered with spiders!

Shino: I don't mind it.

Tsunade: You guys really need to pull it together to accomplish this.

Naruto: No problem! Believe it!

Sakura: PLEASE don't say that anymore.

Sasuke: Seriously.

Naruto: .....you don't have to be so mean about it.

Shizune: We'll let you all decide on how you will divide yourself to make this happen.

Tsunade: The first airing of the station starts in three days. That's your deadline for the first set of shows.

Shikamaru: How long do we have to make the shows last.

Tsunade: You only have to get people to watch for an hour, but make sure to add diverse shows that interest everyone.

Lee: Don't you worry, Fifth Hokage! We will make the greatest TV channel EVER!!!

Shizune: .....at least you guys are enthusiastic.

Tsunade: I'm sure you guys will do a great job. We'll leave you guys to your work. Good luck!

Shizune: Don't let us down!

Tsunade and Shizune turn to leave. They both look at each other with grim faces. They whisper...

Shizune: For your sake htis had better work.

Tsunade: Relaaaaax. They'll do fine!

The two leave, and all the genin/chunin are left in the studio. Shikamaru breaks the silence with a loud clap.

Shikamaru: OKAY PEOPLE! We got three days to scrap together a TV line-up! You! And you!

Shikamaru points to Tenten and Shino respectively.

Tenten/Shino: Us?

Shikamaru: You guys are in charge of advertising! Get everyone in town to watch our channel! LET NO ONE NOT KNOW OF OUR TV STATION!

Tenten: Well someone's getting into this.

Shikamaru: Well, now that we're stuck doing this, we may as well put our all into it! Sakura! Lee! You two will be our stage designers!

Sakura: Sure!

Lee: We'll do our best!

Shikamaru: Naruto, Kiba, Ino, Choji! You four will be our think tank. Come up with AS MANY shows as possible!

Naruto: All right! You can count on me!

Ino: You got it, Shika!

Akamaru: *BARK*

Shikamaru: Hinata! Neji! You guys will be lighting and sound!

Neji: No problem.

Hinata: I'll t-try.

Shikamaru: Sasuke! You're the editor!

Sasuke: ...sure.

Shikamaru: I'll be the director! Together, we'll make the greatest TV channel ever made!

All: YEAH!


That's a wrap for Chapter One! I hope you guys enjoyed it so far, and there is much more to come. I'll try to update often! Make sure you leave me a review! Nothing inspires me to write more than the words of the people!
