A/N: Hey guys, sorry about that Petite Fleuris thing, I won't post a story that I haven't even started on yet ever again, so to make up for it, I'm gonna post the first chapter of European Ninja, a week in advance. Look out, because I'm making it into a short manga series!

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei! Remind me, why are we going to Europe again.?" Naruto asked, while they were on their way to the Konoha airport.

"For the tenth time, Naruto, the current intelligence video on Europe is way out of date." Kakashi replied.

"Especially the part on Russia..." Sakura interjected.

"Wait, so then they aren't communist bastards?" Naruto asked.

"No, the Cold War ended a long time ago…" Sasumaru commented.

"Also, why are those losers coming with us?"

The so called "losers" were Mai (pronounced May), Akina, Sasumaru, and their Sensei.

Profiles:

Hatake Mai:

Mikotatsu Sasumaru

Eye Color: Blue

Budner Tamas
Age: 23
Hair Color: Dirty Blond
Eye Color: Brown
Rank: Jounin, former ANBU
Description: A fairly strict sensei, definite Led Zeppelin fan, always wears a Zeppelin t-shirt under his Jounin vest. Served on Kakashi's squad during his ANBU days, face is heavily scarred.

"You guys are gonna need as much help as you can get!" Akina answered.

She was right; the three teens on her team were all older than team 7, along with the fact that they were a higher rank.

"Okay, looks like we're here!" The Limo driver said to the ninja in the back. "Have a nice trip to Europe!"

"Bye!" They all responded. They all quickly got their bags out of the back and ran into the airport. They got their boarding passes, and rushed through security (thankfully, their weapons were in their suitcases) and when they finally got through all that, they hurried to the gate. They made it, with time to spare.

"Okay, guys. You have ten minutes to go browse the shops and stuff while I read Icha-Icha." Kakashi said.

"My team too! That's an order!" said Tamas-sensei. Even Kakashi wasn't that strict.

They all scurried away as though they were being chased by some evil monster. "You know, maybe you're a little too hard on them…"

"Nonsense, they need to be shown pain before they're given the meds!"

"Yeah, but having them listen to nothing but Led Zeppelin might be a little too much…"

"Are you suggesting that I have them listening to lesser bands such as The Who, Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi…?"

'I don't think he'll ever stop listing…' Kakashi thought as Tamas kept listing.

"Hey, what's a Sbarro, teme?" Naruto asked, noticing that there were no ramen shops to be seen.

"It's a pizza joint, dobe."

"Well, what's a Tortuga?"

"…"

"Hey, Sasumaru?" Sakura asked as she browsed through the bookstore.

"Yeah, Sakura-chan?"

"What's that notebook you got there for?"

"This old thing? This is where I write my stories, or write down details about an object or character, then I perform a jutsu and whatever I wrote becomes reality!"

"Wow, so I guess you're into books."

"Yep."

"I was gonna pick up a bit of light reading for the trip, what do you recommend?"

"Well, there's this book here…" He began as he pulled a book off of one of the shelves.

"Don't they make the cutest couple?" Akina asked Mai as they watched from the jewelry store. She was referring to Sakura and Sasumaru.

"Yes, I'm sure they'll become good friends…"

"…and there's Boston, Foreigner, Foghat, Thin Lizzy-"

"Oh! Look at the time; I gotta get something to eat before we get on the plane." Kakashi said and ran over to where Naruto and Sasuke were standing in line for Sbarro. "Guys, can I get in line with you?"

"Why not, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto said.

"Tamas-sensei was bothering you, right?" Sasuke said.

"How did you know?"

"I call 'em as I see them."

"He was just listing off bands that are inferior to Led Zeppelin."

"Every band except for Zeppelin?"

"Yep."

"How about solo artists?"

"Them too."

"Thought so. Damned fanatical Led Zeppelin fans…"

"That's redundant." Sasumaru said, appearing out of nowhere, as Sakura swooned.

'Well, looks like we've got another smartass in our group…'

"What does redundadant mean?" Naruto asked.

"Redundant: exceeding what is necessary or normal."

"…?"

"In layman's terms: when extra description is added to a phrase, such as: 'scarlet tomato.' Tomatoes are already red, so you don't need to say that the tomato was 'a deep shade of red,' or, another example, Sasuke's comment: 'Fanatical Led Zeppelin Fans.' All fans are fanatical, fan is short for fanatic so that means that fanatical means: 'like a fanatic.' I have to watch out for redundancy in my writing."

"And he likes the sound of his voice…" Sasuke muttered to himself.

"Not just likes, loves." Tamas said as he appeared behind him. "That little braggart loves to show off and throw his weight around. If I were you, I'd watch myself."

"Okay, are you all together?" The cashier asked them all.

"Yes." Kakashi answered as Mai and Akina appeared behind him. "But they're all paying for their own food."

"All right." The cashier responded.

"What?" Sakura said, "But Kakashi-sensei, didn't you say-"

"I didn't say jack, Sakura."

"All right…" The six teens said.

So they ordered a large pizza and everyone got a slice, and split the bill amongst the eight. Then they headed back to the gate.

Suddenly, over the loudspeakers, they heard "Flight 274 to Paris, France, is now boarding, Business Class."

"Alright, that's us." Kakashi said.

"Okay," Naruto said.

"No Naruto, it's just us Sensei's sitting up in first class, you guys are in Coach."

"But-"

"NO BUTS!" Tamas said. "DO AS YOUR SENSEI COMMANDS!"

"Y-y-yes sir!"

"Hey, Sasumaru, where are you sitting?" Sakura asked.

"Seat 15A, how 'bout you?"

"I-I've got 15B!"

"Cool, we're next to each other."

"Yeah!"

SVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVD

"Hey, uh, Mai?"

"Yeah, Sasuke-kun?"

"Um… how've you been?"

"Never better! I haven't been to Europe in a while."

"Me neither, in fact I've never been to Europe at all."

"Okay, so how are you?"

"In love… I mean, I'm fine…"

"I see…" She said, looking at Sasuke's pants. She then noticed his boarding pass, "Oh look! We're sitting next to each other, I got seat 17D and you got 17E."

"Awesome! I mean hn…"

"Well, I gotta use the restroom before we leave…"

SVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVD

"Hello, Akina-chan!" Naruto shouted for all of the passengers to hear.

"Oh, hi, dobe."

"Are you anywhere near seat 17F?"

"Hah! I've got 15C!"

"Aw man!"

"Yeah, that's too bad…"

"I know, well, see ya!"

SVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVDSVD

"Flight 274 to Paris, France, is now boarding, Economy Class."

"Well, that's us." Mai said.

"Does everyone have their boarding passes and passports?" Sasumaru asked.

"Yep." They all replied.

"Okay, I've got mine, let's go!"

They all went up to the boarding area gave the nice lady their boarding passes, were given strips from them back, and then flashed her their passports, then they got on. Sakura pulled out the book that Sasumaru recommended for her (Angels and Demons) and started reading. By the time the plane touched down in Paris, she was already done.

"Wow, you're pretty fast. I'm probably one of the few people who's faster." Sasumaru said.

"Yeah, but I saw you on your laptop the whole time."

"Well, I have to send my story to my editor, but she'll only accept it typed."

"Oh, okay, but you can't have only that one notebook!"

"Ah, you noticed. I channel a bit of my chakra into the notebook whenever I pull out a page, so that another one grows where the old one was."

"Oh, that's cool."

"Sure is."

So they went through customs, got their luggage at the baggage claim and called a cab. About halfway into the city, Sasuke asked « Oú est a l'hôtel? » "Where is the Hotel?"

« Près de la gare de metro s'appelle 'Glaciere.' » "Close to the metro station called 'Glaciere.'"

« Comment s'appelle a l'hôtel? » "What is the hotel called?"

« L'hôtel s'appelle La Marriot Rive Gauche. » "The Hotel is named the Marriot Rive Gauche."

« Merci Monsieur»

« De rien, jeune garçon »

Meanwhile, on the other side of town...
"So, what are we doing in Paris again?" One man asked.

"We're here to make a small boy cry." His companion answered. His eyes were sharingan.
