It was the day before October 10th the day before another of Naruto's unremembered birthdays but this year there were a

large number of people who were banding together, this year Naruto would not be forgotten because this year Naruto was

becoming a man and there was one person in particular who was not going pass this chance not this time, this person was none

other than Hinata Hyuga of the Hyuga residence. Hinata had tried unsuccessfully for six years to tell him that she loves him but

she was determined not to let another chance slip through her fingers. Hinata snapped back to reality when Sakura used the

bullhorn and every body had to cover their ears, including her. Kakashi Uncovered his ears and shook his head to clear it of the

ringing that had been caused by the bullhorn being way too close to his ears when Sakura used it. "Thank you Sakura."

Everyone in the room sat down and Kakashi called role "OK we're all here." now to begin planning Naruto's surprise party, Ino

and Choji you two will be in charge of Food and decorations; Sakura you will be in charge of invitations and making sure the

guests come to the party, Naruto only deserves the best this year; Kiba, you will round up some helpers and find out where

Naruto will be tomorrow and keeping him busy should he try to return home; Hinata you will assist Shino and I in cleaning

Naruto's apartment and restocking his supplies; Sasuke, you will find the urm… 'entertainment' for the party this may not

include any weapons, explosives or otherwise, got it?; and finally Neji, Lee, and TenTen you will be in charge of weapons, I-I

mean presents count and making sure that none of them are rigged." All the ninjas nodded and said in unison "Hai." Hinata

raised her hand tentatively and said "Kakashi-sama, I would like to make a request." Kakashi looked over at Hinata with a

raised eyebrow and said "Yes Hinata-kun?" Hinata blushed slightly and said slowly "If It's not too much trouble I would like to

still be able to help with cleaning Naruto's apartment but I would also like to be the one to prepare the main dish for the party

if that is alright." Kakashi looked over at Sakura who gave him a quick nod and then he turned his head back to Hinata and said

"We would love it if you were to prepare the main dish for the party, what did you have in mind?" Hinata took a few seconds

and then answered "I was thinking, some homemade ramen, my own recipe, I stumbled upon it while trying to make some

soup for my father about a year ago and I know that Naruto loves ramen and it would mean a lot to me because, well I'm

going to try and maybe if Naruto likes my ramen then maybe he would…" Everyone nodded in agreement, they all knew how

shy Hinata was when it came to telling her true feeling and they knew how much it would mean to her if Naruto liked her

ramen plus everyone who was anyone knew how good of a cook Hinata was so Kakashi said "All in favor of Ramen, made by

our very own Hinata Hyuga, say Hai." the vote was unanimous and Hinata could not have been happier.


Naruto: Hey why does it have to be a surprise party?

Jimbaliya: Because you deserve it.

Naruto: Again why?

Sakura: Will you just shut up and pretend to act surprised?

Naruto: But I hate surprises

Sakura: *pulls out mallet and smashes Naruto in the head with it*

Kiba: Sakura, that was supposed to be my job

Hinata:Oh dear *Runs over to Naruto* are you OK Naruto-chan? *pokes naruto in the head several times* Sakura, you're not supposed to put someone in the hospital the day before their birthday (-_-)

Sakura: Well, at least he recovers fast

Naruto: What the heck was that for!

Jimbaliya: Well until next time PLZ review, (no flames that is why I deleted my last story)

Sakura:*Pulls out larger mallet*

Jimbaliya: Like I said NO FLAMES
