Okay, guys, here's the POVs of the character's thoughts before thinking about going to the amusement park—basically, all of them are very lazy. The next chapter will feature all of them meeting up together, and deciding to go and the journey there. Be patient! Starting from the third chapter, I'll have 1-2 characters be the "main character" in that chapter in the amusement park. Happy reading! Don't forget to review!

Naruto

"Gahh!" Naruto groaned as he slouched down in Tsunade's office, watching her snore contentedly, sake bottles littered around her. "I'm….so…bored! Is she really serious about having no other missions besides D-rank missions? His whiskered face scrunched up in suspicion. "Whatever…I'll go get some ramen at Ichiraku's…I guess she won't be waking up any time soon to assign me a better mission…there's no way I'm doing a D-rank mission, after all the dangerous things I went through!" With that, he stomped out of the Hokage's office.

Sakura

"I…can't…stand…the…heat…" Sakura groaned, sweating profusely in the hot Konoha sun. "There's…nothing…to…do…" For a moment, she wildly considered going shopping with Ino, but then remembered that it would look like she was desperate to be Ino's friend again. And I don't want to have a mission, either. She thought glumly. I feel so lazy today! I just want something fun to do…then she thought about Sasuke. "No!" She reprimanded herself. "Don't think about him!"

Hinata

Hinata sat cross-legged in the Hyuuga manor, trying to meditate while swatting mosquitoes away. It also didn't help that she was constantly thinking about Naruto, and that she couldn't talk to anyone. Her relatives were still all treating her with disdain, so Hinata didn't dare to do anything or talk to them. Kiba was off playing with Akamaru, and Hinata didn't even know where Shino lived. Kurenai-sensei was off on an A-rank mission, too. If only Naruto was here! She sighed. Maybe, I can try to find Naruto and talk to him…she blushed at the thought. She was too cowardly to do something like that!

Kiba

"Is it the fleas again, Akamaru?" Kiba asked, sighing. Akamaru whimpered. "Don't worry, I feel your pain," Kiba grunted, batting mosquitoes away. "Man…are you sure you don't want to learn any more jutsus?" Akamaru shook his head no quite firmly. "Aghh…it's so boring out here, maybe we'll go jump in the lake for fun…" But Kiba quickly dismissed the thought, because he felt too lethargic to even move. "Life sucks today…" Kiba groaned, and Akamaru barked an affirmative.

Shino

Sometimes, Shino regretted wearing a long trench coat all the time to protect his bugs. If he lived in the Village of Mist, maybe, the heat wouldn't be so bad. He languidly let the bugs skitter all over his body. It was very unusual for him to feel this lazy, he thought. He'd expect it of Kiba, maybe, but not an Aburame like himself. For once, I wouldn't mind Kiba pouring ice water over my face, he thought grimly. At least that was somewhat fun. Wait—fun? Had he thought of anything to do with Kiba as "fun"? "I must be losing my touch," he said out loud.

Shikamaru

Shikamaru stared at the clouds, feeling lazier than he had ever felt his entire life. And that was saying something. Heck, he was too lazy to even play Shogi. Asuma was off on an A-rank mission, Ino was probably running the flower shop, and Choji was probably pigging out somewhere. "Man…how troublesome," he muttered, shifting his position a bit. For once, he actually wanted some adventure. This was just too boring. He couldn't even stand looking at the clouds anymore. His trademark frown grew deeper as he tried to shadow bind one of the flies surrounding him, and failed.

Ino

"AGHHHHHHH!" Ino screamed in frustration. Her usually glossy hair was limp because of the heat, and the flowers were all wilting. So now she had to run around like a maniac watering all of them. "I need a vacation!" She shrieked, pulling her hair out, making all the passerby stare. "Mom!" She screamed. "You need to take over!" A loud voice erupted from inside. "INO! You promised that you'd work for at least 3 hours!" Ino threw a shruiken at the wall.

Chouji

For what was possibly the first time in his life, Chouji didn't feel hungry. Somehow, the heat wave in Konoha was even making barbeque seem unappealing to him. "This feels so wrong," Chouji muttered. "I don't want barbeque, I don't want chips…" He even considered what Asuma had said in desperation—"Get active, Chouji, when I'm gone!" He sighed. "There's no way I'm doing exercise on my own," he thought sadly.

Rock Lee

"118, 119, 120," Lee grunted as he did pushups. "121, 122, 123…if I cannot do at least 250 pushups without pausing, Sakura-san will call me fuzzy eyebrows!" His eyes felt watery at the very thought. Suddenly, at the 125th pushup, he collapsed. "It's too hot…" he moaned uncharacteristically. Then he gasped. "What would Gai-sensei do if he was here? He'd surely be very mad at me! I've failed you, sensei!" Lee started crying as he pictured his sensei's face. "Why do I feel so unmotivated today?" He wondered out loud, his green spandex suit clinging to him. "Maybe I should quit training…NO! NO! I cannot desert my springtime of youth so easily!"

Ten-Ten

Ten-Ten flipped gracefully in the air, letting three kunais fly at their targets. Two hit the dead center, but the third missed by a hair. Ten-Ten gasped. "I..missed?" She said in horror. "The heat's killing me," she muttered crossly. Even her buns were coming down. "I'd better find Lee…no doubt he's still trying to train in this heat because of the "springtime of youth". I can't believe I actually tried to be like him and Gai, training this hard…ugh, I need something FUN to do."

Neji

Neji wanted to punch Hiashi Hyuuga's face right off. His long hair was damp with sweat, and his Byakugan was hurting his eyes. Hiashi, however, stood there calmly, not even breaking sweat. "Come, Neji." He said sternly, impatience on his face. "We having been training together for six months. Surely you will not give up now." Neji forced himself to stay calm. He attempted to visualize a Ying-Yang circle beneath his feet, but failed. Sighing, he once again tried to hit Hiashi, but fell down ungracefully. "Wonderful," he commented sarcastically.

Temari

"YAHH!" Temari yelled as she swung her giant fan around, creating a huge wind that carried all the bugs surrounding her away, and cooled her down slightly. "Sent to Konoha NOW in the middle of a heat wave," she commented dryly to Kankuro, who appeared to be drooling slightly. She sighed. It looked like she'd have no companion to talk to today. Her team had been sent here to escort an important person who needed to talk to the Hokage. Apparently, the talk would take a few days, and so Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara would have to wait in Konoha's blistering heat for a few days until they could escort that person back. Temari snarled. The person hadn't even let their hood down for the whole journey, so she didn't even know who this "important person" was. "Temari…" Kankuro murmured. "Can you use your fan again?" Temari restrained herself barely by reminding herself that if she killed Kankuro, she would be wasting more energy in this blasted heat. But still, it was rather rude that her brother would only talk to her because he needed to use her.

Kankuro

Kankuro felt sleepy, hot, and grouchy. Temari looked like she would kill him if he asked her again to use her fan. But really, heat and black baggy clothes and facepaint didn't go well together. He eyed a couple of kids as they ran by. He felt too tired to even terrorize them. What a day this was turning out to be. He fingered Karasu's bandages, wondering if he should just go on a mass rampage. He needed ice and excitement, dang it!

Gaara

Gaara sat in the middle of his siblings, ignoring Temari's rage and Kankuro's discontent. Naruto. He thought. That boy had defeated him and Shukaku and had made him realize…realize what was important in life. Really, the only reason he'd accepted this C-rank mission was because he wanted to see Naruto again and talk to him about other things he didn't understand quite well yet. Naruto had taught him about loyalty and love when he had defeated him, and now Gaara wanted to know more about this world Naruto had introduced him to. Gaara willed his sand to come to him, lifting him up so he could scout the village for Naruto. However, the moment his sand lifted him up, he willed it to drop him again. Even my sand is burning hot, Gaara sighed.

So, that's one chapter for you guys. Remember, people, to review!
