"NARUTO!" snapped Hokage as he wrung his hands in frustration. "Can't you ever behave yourself!"

"Huh?" questioned Naruto as he scratched his head with a baffled expression evident on his face. "What are you talking about sensei?"

Hokage sweat dropped, before jumping back onto his feet. "A true ninja fights to help those in need, NOT SO THAT HE COULD WIN ANOTHER
PACK OF RAMEN NOODLES!"

"I was hungry," he muttered sadly, while his stomach growled in agreement. "They just don't make food like they use too."

"Then go BUY some ramen noodles!" yelled Hokage as a vein began to throb on his forehead. "And STOP TRYING TO SHOW OFF!"

"Wow, why didn't I think of that myself?" pondered Naruto as he dashed out of the room, heading for the closest supermarket.

Hokage releases an sigh of defeat as he buried his head into his arms. "That's it! I've had enough! They're leaving tomorrow!" he declared as he scoured

through the numerous number of papers located on his desk. "Where is it?" he muttered as he tossed book after book over his shoulder making a large hole in

the nearby wall. "It just has to be here!" he said frantically as he tore across the room. After an hour or so of searching he finally discovered it...

(THE HOTTEST VACATION SPOTS)

"Thank god," he murmured in relief, as he gave the book a big wet kiss. "I don't know what I'd do without you...Let's see, where would I want to go if

I was a teenage? The Red Desert? Naw...too hot. How about the mountains? Too boring. That's it!" he exclaimed as his eyes flashed in excitement.

*A TROPICAL CRUISE!*

"Once they leave, I'll finally be able to live peacefully," he sighed in content. "I suppose they'd be rather pleased with a change of scenery. They've been

complaining non-stop these past few months. The sooner they leave, the better." he concluded, as a light bulb flashed over his head. "I know! I'll ship them away

tomorrow!"

Hokage sat down and with renewed enthusiasm he began planning their vacation. With a crazed look in his eyes, the same words repeating lodged itself onto

his memory, "Sooner the better, no more distractions, only peace and quite."

"Aw," sighed Naruto as he polished off a few packs of Ramen Noodles. "This is the life," he thought as he stared at the clouds contently.

Suddenly a face popped up over his obscuring his vision..."What are you doing Naruto-san?"

"What the," exclaimed Naruto as he jumped quickly onto his feet, and tackled his opponent resulted with them both to rolling down the hill together. "Who

are you," he demanded before looking deeply into his "assassin's" eyes.

It was dark and mysteriously beautiful. It was Hinata.

"Gomen," he muttered sheepishly as his cheeks flamed with embarrassment.

"It's okay Naruto-san," she muttered shyly as she stared at him with large adoring eyes. "He looks so handsome today. Someday I'll

tell you my true feelings, someday..." she trailed off mentally when she heard Naruto growl in frustration.

Hinata followed Naruto's glaze and found herself staring at the one and only Sasuke. "Don't worry about his," she muttered quietly. "I think you're way

stronger then him."

Naruto turned towards her with a grateful smile, "I know I'm the best, it'd good to have someone actually believe me. Sasuke is nothing compared to me!" he

announced proudly earning himself a giggle from Hinata.

"Naruto," she began thoughtfully as she inched her hand closer to his. However he suddenly drew away in a hiss of fury.

"Damn him," he spat angrily when he saw the hurricane that tore furiously at each other in an attempt to reach Sasuke first. One of the contestants was Sakura,

his one-time crush, the other was Ino a blonde haired girl who was Sakura's rival.

"Let's go," he muttered as he marched furiously towards Sasuke.

Hinata sighed in despair, she was so close! She ran quickly behind Naruto trying to catch up. "Wait for me!"

"Sasuke!" he snapped as was with-in a few feet. "What are you doing here?" he demanded as he crossed his arms defiantly.

Sasuke just shot him an annoyed glance and sighed in disgust. "What do you think I'm doing here?"

"Trying to steal Sakura from me!" he stated indignant, however he was stopped in mid-sentence when a strong punch was sent his way.

"I'm not your girlfriend!" growled Sakura angrily, as she rolled up her sleeves preparing herself for a fight. "I'm so going to kill you!"

Naruto who just noticed the killing fire that sprang in her eyes began backing away in fear. "Sakura-chan, I was only kidding," he muttered, hoping against hope

that she would let him off with a "gentle" beating.

"I'm sure you were," muttered Sakura as she smiled sinisterly, which caused Naruto to shiver in terror.

"You're his boyfriend?" asked Ino looking shell-shocked before bursting into hysterias. "You...and....Naruto...a couple....hahaha...that's so....hahaha...funny..." she

giggled as she clutched her stomach and rolled around.

Sakura snapped around instantly at those words, "Of course I'm not, " she stated forcefully.

Much to Sakura's disgust, and disappointment Ino kept on laughing and ignored her every word.

A vein began throbbing on Sakura's head, warning the remaining ninja's to duck and cover. Unfortunately for Ino she was too occupied to take much notice. Sakura

trudged on slowly towards her, with eyes flashing with amusement.

She reached into her backpack and reveled a nice can of whip cream and honey. "Sweet dreams," said Sakura sweetly as she squeezed the whole content onto to

laughing and unsuspecting Ino.

"You Bitch!" Ino screamed as she ran her hands through her sticky honey coated hair. "You'll pay for this!" she declared as she launched towards Sakura.

"Stop!" commanded Sasuke as he glared at each of them in turn, however when his eyes reached Sakura it softened slightly. "I came here for some peace and quiet, not

to watch you two bicker like that!"

Sakura opened her mouth in protest, however Ino clamped a sticky hand over it. "What are you trying to do? Make him leave?" she hissed softly, so that only Sakura

could hear. "Oh course not," snapped Sakura as she tossed her long hair definitely.

Sasuke watched them both in amusement, as he listened to their entire conversation. His eyes were fixed on Sakura, she had grown so much since he'd first met her.

She was strong and beautiful, she had somehow been able to melt his icy heart.

Naruto eyed Sasuke jealously as he clenched his fists in anger, trying with all his might not to strangle him. Hinata squeezed his shoulder reassuringly and whispered

in his ear. His face instantly brightened and a true smile lit his face, "Really?" he asked with child-like wonder.

"Yup!" giggled Hinata, grateful that she had finally gotten Naruto's attention off of Sasuke.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" he demanded as he rushed her on. "Let's get going!"

The others raised their eyebrows in curiosity, they were all puzzled at Naruto's sudden mood swing.

"Come on! It's dinner time!" he yelled cheerfully.

*Everyone sweat dropped*

"Sakura? Ino? Are you guys alright? Guys?"
