I'm so extremely bored right now, so I'm going to make a little intro to a story I'm working on. THIS IS NOT CHAPTER 1!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, no matter how many times I've tried to claim it.

"As you all may know, you have come for a bit of a puzzle." Tsunade began, gazing down at the group of 12 in front of her. "Of course, none of you know yet what this challenge is."

"So..." Said a lazy, drawling voice. "Why don't you just tell us so we can leave?"

"Ah, my little Shikamaru. That's the twist. You can't leave until each of your individual puzzles are solved."

"Individual? I thought this was going to be a group project!"

"We might have mentioned that you can work together, but that's optional. Now, just let me explain. This building was made specifically for this event. Each of you will be given clues, and you are to find a partner with the same clues. It's individual still, because there are slight changes to suit each ninja's own personal weaknesses and strengths. After you've identified you're partner, whom you will be spending the rest of this period of time with, you will claim a room on the top floor. 2 beds per room, and no one will be getting frisky." There were a number of people blushing and girls giggling in the group. "Then, you will start immediately on your clues. You'll know when you've finished, and you are to relax and enjoy the rest of your stay until the others are done. The food will replenish, so there is no need to worry about time. Any questions?"

"What're we looking for?"

"Other clues that'll help you towards the end."

"What's the point?"

"Your sensei's and I have come to the conclusion that your basic skills are dulling fast."

"Basic skills?"

"Following directions, listening, working together, completing tas-"

"All right! We're lazy. Can we go now?"

"Why, yes. Yes you can."

And then they were off.

Ok, tell me what you think. I'm doing it whether you guys want me to or not. ^_^
