Naruto walked through the village of konaha, on his way to Ichiraku Ramen. He was almost there when a poster on a post caught his eye. He walked over to it and read it.

The Nutcracker? I wonder what that is. Should I do it? He thought.

"Hey, Naruto!" Naruto turned. He saw Sakura running to him. "Have you heard? The village is putting on a play! I'm one of the main characters!" She said exitingly.

"Who?" Naruto asked.

"The sugar plumb fairy!" She replied.

"Really?"

"Yeh. Hey, you should join, Naruto! You could be... you could be... be... be the..." She looked at the poster. "The Nutcracker! Yeh!"

"Hmmm... Yeh. You could be right. I like that idea!"

"Kay!" Sakura said walking off. "See you later!"
