This is just a random idea I thought up a little while ago. I mean no offence. Read and review please! Flames will be used to explain where the smoke came from.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. This fic is mine though.
Out of Ideas
By Netbug009
The field of battle was covered in a thick cloud of smoke. The enemy ninja faced Naruto and his team, ready to attack yet again. Our hero took a step forward and braced for another attack.
Naruto was a wreck. His clothes were torn up, and he was covered head to toe with bruises of all shapes and sizes. "You think you're so tough, huh? Well, I'm never giving up! Never!"
An alarm clock went off.
"Wait, we're out of battle time already?!" Sakura's eyes widened. "But we still have 20 minutes of the episode to kill!"
"Naruto, you idiot." Sasuke glared at his teammate. "Why haven't you been stopping you assault every few minutes for a dramatic flashback or speech like you usually do? It's your turn to do that today, remember?"
Naruto said nothing.
"Well?" Kakashi asked.
"Um..." Naruto looked at the people around him. They all looked back at him. "I kinda ran out of dramatic stuff."
The others blinked.
"It's not my fault! I'm 12 for crying out loud! I only have so much life to have flashbacks about! Why can't he say something?" Naruto pointed at their foe.
"Don't look at me!" the ninja said, waving his arms in front of himself. "I lived with my mom until I was 20 and left to pursue a career as a banker! I'm only in this anime because people got sick of social filler episodes and asked for more action!"
Silence fallowed.
"So..." Sakura twisted her hair around her finger. "Do you guys want to go watch a movie or something?"
Miscellaneous replies came from the group, all approving the idea. The recording crew was forced to cut to Gaara and company talking while they ate ramen for the rest of the episode.
