Hello mother, hello father. Here I am at Camp Grenada. Camp is very entertaining. And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining…
The Shinobi's Guide to Camping
By Kaori
"With all due respect, Hokage-sama," Shino said quietly, shocking the hell out of everyone else. "I think we could use a break." Tsunade recovered quickly.
"I suppose it is somewhat cruel of me to be assigning you all another mission so soon after your last one." She mused. "Very well, then. You all have the week off."
"Yay!" cheered Lee, Naruto, Ino, Sakura, and Kiba. Sasuke rolled his eyes at the childish display, Neji pretended not to ogle TenTen (who was wearing a pair of shorts today instead of her usual pants), TenTen was pretending not to notice Neji ogling her, Chouji stuffed his face with chips, and Shikamaru continued to look at the clouds from the window. The preoccupied twelve didn't notice the jounins giving each other sneaky glances.
"I'm glad you're all so happy. Dismissed." The jounins rounded up their students and herded them towards one of the practice area.
"All right." Kurenai clapped her hands together. "Since we all have a week free of missions we have decided that we're going to have a little outing."
"Are we going out of the village?" asked Naruto, excited.
"Yes." said Kakashi, his visible eye curving.
"Really!" Ino was intrigued. Her team had never gone on missions outside the village. The one where they had to paint the eastern gate didn't count. "What are we going to be doing?"
"It is an exercise in trust and bonding!" Gai was all fired up and Lee was soon to follow his lead.
"In that case! I cannot wait!"
"It will be a test of skills, stamina, and intestinal fortitude!" This hooked Neji, Kiba, Sasuke, and Naruto. "A chance to prove one's worthiness!" Sakura and Ino glared at each other; here was an opportunity to impress Sasuke. "We're going…" he paused for dramatic effect. "camping!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Ah yes, the dreaded camping experience. What will befall our heroes? Those of you who know the perils of the outdoors probably have a good idea but hang around and see something may surprise you!
