KitsuneFreak: Hiya! This is my second fic. Forgive me if I kind of deserted the first story called Random Envy Drabbles. I just didn't get anymore light bulb moments so essentially no ideas popped up.

Kakashi: I feel so, awkward to be in this…. I mean. Santa Claus?

KitsuneFreak: Don't blame me! It just popped in my head when I was on the car.

Kakashi: But still… :sits in corner & thinks:

KitsuneFreak (K/F): Oh well. Naruto, do the disclaimer, kay? And the Badger, Badger theme will be the story break.

Naruto: Kay! K/F (a.k.a. Valerie/Subaru) does not own Naruto, blah, blah, blah.

K/F: Uh Naruto, the point was to tell them that I don't own all this stuff WITHOUT telling them my real name/xanga name. Grr….

Naruto: ON WITH THE STORY: whispers to K/F: Where's my ramen?

(Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Mushroom, Mushroom…)

One fine day in December, at the Hokage's tower one particular Godaime snored all her worries away. That is, until a certain youthful shinobi dropped by to deliver an urgent message.

"Tsunade-sama! I have an urgent message to deliver. It's from Sa-" the youthful Gai started but noticed that the Hokage was ASLEEP behind a HUGE pile of paperwork.

"Tsunade-sama? WAKEY WAKEY EGGS AND BAKEY!"

Toppling over from her tranquil position Tsunade was enraged at Gai to interrupt her moment of peace. Standing up to her full height she cracked her knuckles. (Imagine chibi Gai with a very mad Godaime)

"What is so important that you dare interrupt me in my slumber?" growled Tsunade, preparing to make mincemeat out of Mr. Youth.

"I found this letter and it's from SANTA! He's requesting a …"

-LATER THAT DAY-

"Now I hope you all understand why I called you all here" Tsunade said.

"To give us a mission no doubt?" Sasuke drawled.

"Yes but it's not a regular mission. I'm giving you an A ranked mission because it's very dangerous and may taint your innocent minds…..Yes, you too Kakashi. Reading Icha Icha Paradise is nothing compared to what I'm about to assign you."

"What's the mission? Tell us! Tell us!" Naruto said as fast as Sonic with a hedgehog attached to his rear. (In other words, Sonic would feel pain so he would run fast…and that's as fast as Naruto's speech)

"Your mission is to save Christmas." Tsunade said with the most serious look on her face as she could muster. All of Team 7 then proceeded with a mighty face-fault.

Flashback:

"Are you serious that this letter is from Santa. Like the Santa Clause? Not some kind of joke?"

"How can you say that such a youthful man like Santa is a joke!" Gai gasped.

"No, I'm just saying that no matter who we give this mission to it's going to be hard to get it through their heads."

"But we MUST save Christmas!" Gai yelled flailing his arms around.

"The only thing that I can't understand is that Santa Clause suddenly got the flu… shouldn't he be immune or something?" This comment was received with a mere shrug.

End Flashback

"Santa exists? I thought it was just a silly story." Sakura wondered.

"This has got to be a joke." The raven-haired Uchiha said.

"YATTA!" Naruto yelled.

"Hmmmm….maybe I can ask Santa for a copy of (insert you-know-what)" Kakashi thought.

"Just wait a moment before you get all excited. I have to assign your positions."

"EH!"

"Kakashi, you and Jiraiya will pose as Santa just because. You two will switch whenever one gets tired. Sasuke & Naruto will pose as the happy (K/F: Uh oh…) elf that accompanies Santa. Sakura, you drive the sleigh. "

"Happy elf?" Sasuke twitched.

"Ya, you know those little midget guys in green?" Tsunade said causing Sasuke to twitch even more.

"Are you implying that I'm a midget?"

"No, but look on the bright side Naruto's one too."

"…" said Sasuke.

"So Kakashi, make sure you don't fail alright? Kakashi? Kakashi? Hey, where are you?" Moments later, they found Kakashi hiding in a tree, reading Icha Icha Paradise, AND muttering to himself. It sounded more like a whine with these following words: What do you mean that I have to be Santa. He's such a gushy happy person…..like…like…GAI! ARGH THE AGONY! BUT! I must regain my composure, I mean like what if they blackmail me? Wait….I'm a jounin and was part of ANBU. I'm stronger than them all!

Sadly for Kakashi, his entire team plus Tsunade had heard his little pep talk. However, they were nice people and just to humor him they pretended that they had no idea what he was talking about.

And so Team 7 and Jiraiya set off for the North Pole where they had to talk to those cheery little elves. Sakura had to force all the men to wear their respective outfits. Actually, with the help of Sandaime's magical crystal ball Tsunade found out about their unwilling-ness and sent ANBU after them just to make them wear costumes. That was followed by one hour of the ANBU members laughing their heads off at the former ANBU member who had to wear a jolly old Santa costume. Poor Kakashi.

"Um, Kakashi-sensei, I think Santa's supposed to be fat…." Naruto stated.

"Okay, I will ONLY tolerate wearing this Santa costume NOTHING ELSE!" (K/F: Sorry I can't imagine Kakashi as Santa…because: 1. It's horrifying 2. It'll give me the heebie-jeebies and 3. It's just wrong.)

One hundred trillion, billion, zillion presents later (Ok, maybe not that many) Team 7 and Jiraiya managed to get back to Konoha safe and sound. To be exact, the minute that they stepped on Konohan territory they collapsed on the ground in a heap.

"Tired….Back…pain……owwie….." Kakashi cried.

"The…horror…of happy…..elves." Sasuke gasped.

"I hate…doing…..back flips…." Naruto complained.

"I'm…never…under….estimating….Santa's….job…ever….again" Jiraiya finished.

And so, with the help of Team 7 and Jiraiya Christmas was saved. Not to mention that Konoha received a nice paycheck from Santa after he got better from his…..cold.

K/F: Okay. So how was it? It's a second story I know but still. I think that it's okay. If you guys want me to describe in detail what happened during the trip to all the 5 shinobi villages then in your review please tell me. If you want me to then there's a high chance that the Sand siblings, Akatsuki members, and other people will be in it.

Sasuke: I wonder what Itachi wanted for Christmas.

Naruto: You? Dead?

Sakura: LE GASP! How dare you say that to Sasuke-kun!

K/F: Come to think of it, where's Kakashi?

Kakashi: …… -unconscious-

K/F: How come he's still unconscious? You guys are alright.

Sasuke: Let's just say that Jiraiya accidentally summoned Gama Bunta.

K/F: O.o Err……….I just don't want to know.

Sakura: Wise decision.

K/F: Oh well so review and tell me if you want the details of the Christmas journey all spelled out for you! Ja Ne!
