Chapter 1

"Wow, what a beautiful day! Don't you guys agree?" Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were outside the local ice cream store, slowly consuming their purchases. Two heads nodded in agreement and the team descended into silence. A few minutes later Sasuke stood up, tension radiating off of his body. "Is something wrong Sasuke?" ask Sakura anxiously.

"Something's headed this way, something bad."

Suddenly the ground began to shake violently, causing all three to drop what remained of the sweets. The sky darkened as huge thunder clouds rolled in. A giant black mass of smoke appeared on the horizon, moving rapidly towards the three shinobi. Sasuke and Sakura pulled out their weapons, both praying that there was something solid in all that smoke that could be hit. Naruto stood with his mouth opened, too stunned to think. A sharp wrap on the head from Sakura mended that problem, and the blonde, too, pulled out some of his weapons. All too soon the gigantic mass came to a halt before the young ninja, who all tensed. The smoke began to dissipate, revealing…

"Is this some kind of joke?" yelled Naruto. "They're just a bunch of squirrels!"

"We're not just any squirrels," shouted one of the rodents. "We are the SNSTF! Also known as the Special Ninja Squirrel Task Force! And I am their leader, Leader Squirrel! There is nothing you can do to stop us from invading, and taking over this pathetic village. Muahahahahahahahahahaha!" Soon the air was filled with high pitched, and truly annoying, squirrel laughter.

"That still doesn't change the fact that you're squirrels," said Sakura absent-mindedly. She was trying to figure out their plan, but every one she thought up was too ridiculous to mention, let alone use.

"We'll show you, wench, we'll show this whole town! But first, we shall eliminate you three, and by 'we', I mean my subordinates! Get them!" At their leader's command, a group of squirrels launched themselves at Sasuke, hurling miniature kunai. (This is not because he was using the Uchiha Death Glare, which has claimed 13 lives to date, but because Sasuke had developed the annoying habit of always ending up in front of the group.) Sasuke deflected them easily, now thoroughly miffed at the situation. The squirrels gasped and hid behind their leader, who was surprised at the boy's skill.

"For creatures that want to rule the world, you're pretty weak…and small." (Please insert Uchiha Smirk of Superiority)

"Yeah, they are pretty short," agreed the Kyuubi vessel, nodding his head. Any fear that had taken up residence had long since vanished.

Cha, Sasuke's so cool! Sakura shook her head. Who ever had decided to live in there was extremely noisy, especially during fights. She wished she knew how to kick the nuisance out, but so far she couldn't think of anything. Tuning back into the fight, Sakura watched as another group of squirrels attacked Sasuke, this time without weapons. Sasuke throw out a small group of shuriken which sliced the squirrels into bits.

Leader Squirrel stepped back in horror. Who IS this kid! And how can he be so cruel! They were just innocent squirrels, doing as they were told! Must not cry, I gotta pull my troops back and retreat! If this is the defense, we will defiantly need a plan! Oh, we would find the strongest ones first! "Retreat, troops, fall back!" And with that, the SNSTF! vanished back into its cloud and moved away. The sky cleared and all went back to normal.

"Do you think they'll be back?" asked Sakura, hitting her head to silence the unwanted tenant. "They might not be strong, but they're awful stubborn."

"Hmm, I don't know, but we should be on the look out."

"Why? They're squirrels, we can just hit them over the head with something and they'll go away!"

"Naruto has a point; they are simply rodents of an extremely obnoxious verity."

"Still, I won't be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life for an eight inch tall pest."

"But-" began Naruto.

"I'll buy you ramen if you just shut up about the stupid things. We'll get rid of them if they come back and that's all. And I'm sure Sakura's right and they will." This had the desired effect of the Kitsune and the two boys left for Ichiraku's. Sakura stood staring at the ground. Whatever was in her head had shut up, but it also seemed to have fainted. Either that, of she was getting worst headache ever. Sighing again, the girl headed home.

Little did they know how soon the trouble would begin again…
