Can you believe it? I'm actually doing all of this! This one will definitely be good because a lot of people loved this one.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
A black steel camera hanging off the very top corner of a wall blinked repeatedly, over and over. Those in the recording room stared blankly at the screen, the only view being the grand double-door entrance. The colored gray, black and white glass filtered in the broad sunlight, although it was hard to tell on the monitor. Identical potted ferns adorned the very ends of the doors and the silver polished doorknobs matched the metal pots holding the botany. An accented oriental rug complimented the dark-stained heavy doors. Yellow and burgundy patterned tiles hid underneath said rug. Off in the very left of the screen showed the corner of a closet door. Overall, everyone in the recording room could agree that the house which was being filmed was very extravagant.
Suddenly, the expensive looking doorknobs turned and the wooden doors opened simultaneously, and an old gent in traditional looking red and white robes walked through, followed by a throng of people, aging from the teens to seniors.
"Welcome, to Konoha Mansion." The balding bearded man said to the group, who were looking around with awe. Several people walked away from the screen and appeared on another monitor that was pointing to a living room area complete with three couches one of them L-shaped. Five other cushioned chairs were arranged near the couches, along with multiple dark side tables, holding lamps, plants, and magazines. A glass coffee table held books, coasters, and a platter of cracker and cheeses. Brown wood bookshelves stood against the wall, as mirrors and fancy paintings contrasted against the pale tan walls, several against-the-wall small floor lights making patches of the plastered wall yellow.
Murmurs and exclamations or surprise and approval rang through the small but powerful speakers in the dark lit room crowded with people.
"Ready?" a woman with short straight black hair and brown eyes asked a man smoking as he sat at the computer chair, multitudes of glowing buttons in front of him.
Said man leaned forward and poised his fingers over several buttons. "On your signal."
The lady, Shizune, muttered a few commands into her headset and scribbled things on her clipboard before focusing her eyes on one of the screens and nodded. "Start."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
A little boy of eleven sat crossed-legged on the carpet in front of his couch, bouncing up and down. His brown hair stood up on his head and was held by a pair of green goggles. He wore green green pants and a yellow shirt. A blue scarf hung limply from his neck. His two other companions chatted excitedly behind him on the red couch.
"I can't believe Konohamaru's grandfather got all those people on that new TV show!" The girl, also eleven, exclaimed to her other friend, a brown-haired boy with glasses, a bowl-cut and a dripping nose.
"Mm-hmm. Seems like they thought it was a government thing or something." He replied in a monotone voice.
"Shush!" The boy on the floor, Konohamaru, yelled, leaping forward onto his hands and knees. The television set flashed to a tune. "Udon! Moegi! It's on! It's on!"
"Yes!" Moegi cheered as she hurriedly tucked her bare knees beneath her.
A logo appeared on the screen, along with several other strobe-like colors. It read, "Konoha Wars".
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Asuma, one of the technical producers of the brand-new show "Konoha Wars", started timing the screen and his fingers as he pressed the same button over again. His superior, the head-technical producer Shizune, watched over his shoulder.
The short theme song and logo for the show appeared on one of the hundreds of screens. On another, the same old fellow from previous stood in his robes and a pointed hat that covered his forehead. He held a pipe in his hand as a few make-up girls ran around him, randomly powdering his face or setting props correctly.
"Cue Sarutobi." A long-haired brunette male said from another chair, on the opposite side of the room. A bandana covered his head as he lounged in his chair.
"Cue Sarutobi." A person on the other end of the mike in the headset repeated to Shizune. Genma, the bandana wearer, turned his head, waiting for the signal. Shizune glanced at him and nodded before watching another male, Hayate, edit some of the footage.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The title sequence ended. Soft background music started as Genma suddenly leaped out of the chair to a microphone built in to the consol. He cleared his throat into his hand before pressing a red button labeled 'on'.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Welcome to Konoha Wars." He said in his smoothest voice.
Scenes of the large mansion built of stucco appear on the screen. The large four story building loomed over a cliff-side, the city of Konoha behind it. A tall wooden fence wound around the side, and was the background to the lush front garden. Trees towered in front of, behind, and by the sides of the house. In a few scenes, it was nighttime, and all the lights were on, giving the mansion a homey look. A few were in broad daylight, showing off every single feature.
"Konoha Mansion is known for its luxurious rooms, amazing pools, tropical gardens, and being the set of Konoha Wars. There are twenty-two contestants, all living within this magnificent mansion for a year. No one shall be eliminated, and no one will be allowed to enter. The rules are simple: make friends, interact, and try to win the challenges. Each challenge consists of mentally and physically trying 'missions.' When a contestant wins the mission, they will get a scroll. At the end of the year, whoever has the most scrolls will be the winner of our grand prize: the keys to Konoha Mansion and fifty-thousand dollars. But there's a catch." Genma informed as more and more images of parties, events, and still shots of the Konoha Mansion passed before everyone's eyes.
"None of the twenty-two contestants know that this is a televised show. They have all been informed that this was a government experiment. All of them have already moved their belongings into the building, but have yet to claim rooms, although they won't get the choice. Now, here's the host and creator of this show, Sarutobi the Third Hokage." Genma quickly pressed the 'on' button again, and hurried to his chair.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The elderly man, Sarutobi, also known as Konohamaru's grandfather, came on screen, smiling mysteriously around his pipe.
"Thank you for that wonderful introduction. As you know, this is a television show. I have personally selected people who have, as far as I know, never met before. They will have to get along, because they will not be allowed outside the property throughout the year. Now, for the participants…"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Okay, now!" Shizune commanded Asuma, who had nodded mutely. Clicking was heard along with soft voices and the background music.
Freeze frame shots filled the twenty-two screens, all of different people. The faces were clearly seen, along with their clothing and expressions. Asuma instantly pressed a button and one of the frames disappeared from the screen onto the larger on in the middle. Another push of a button.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Sarutobi came back onto the screen with a mischievous smile. He took a whiff of the pipe before turning to another camer at a different angle.
"For right now, we'll observe these people before finally telling them the truth. By then, the gates will be locked. So stay tuned after this commercial break."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
More than a dozen people grabbed their bags in the main hall of Konoha Mansion before heading into another room to get directions as to where they will reside. Little did they notice all of the security cameras and the man slowly coming from behind another door after they all left and headed quietly towards the other room. And they had absolutely no clue about the thousands of people watching the highly anticipated show called Konoha Wars.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Enjoy1 I will defiantly have the next chapter up soon. And I changed the Asuma thing around. Couples will be all the regular ones: SasuSaku, NaruHina, NejiTen, GaaMatsu, ShikaTema, KakaAnko, TsuJira, InoSai, AsuKure, and a surprise couple! Forgive all spelling mistakes. Oh, and before I forget, where it says KPD at Shino's introduction, it stands for Konoha Police Department, in case you didn't know. Reviews are always welcome.
