It all started as a quiet, boring day in Konoha. Everything was as usual... although the 3 shinobis, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, were scheduled to meet their teacher at 7 AM for training.

Of course, Naruto was doing the usual aswell... at the Ichiraku, stuffing his face with ramen. A clock on the wall happened to catch his attention, and he realized it was 6:58. Oh man... it's almost 7! The distressed Naruto thought, slapping some money on the table. He jumped up and sped away, leaving a half-full bowl of ramen and two bewildered shop owners behind.

Naruto skidded to a hault, just before crashing in to Sasuke. The group was waiting on a bridge for their teacher, Kakashi-sensei, to arrive. Of course, it wasn't all that rare for Kakashi to be late.

"Watch where you're going, idiot." Sasuke said dryly, glaring at Naruto. And just before Naruto could shout another insult back at Sasuke, Kakashi luckily happened to appear.

Turning towards Kakashi, Naruto exclaimed, "You're late, Kakashi-sensei!"

"And you weren't?" Sasuke pointed out, seeing as Naruto had been about 5 minutes late.

"Sorry. I got lost in the path of life." Kakashi tried, shrugging.

"LIAR!" Naruto retorted, but just before he could demand an explanation, Sasuke interrupted.

"Just drop it, Naruto," He said, sighing. "So what's today's mission?"

"For today's mission, we're going to..." Kakashi paused for a dramatic effect, "be on a reality TV show!"

"WHAT!" Sakura and Naruto shouted in unision.

"Kakashi-sensei, do you have a fever or something?" The pink-haired ninja questioned, putting a hand on her teacher's forehead.

"Hey, stop that," Kakashi said, pushing Sakura's hand away. "No, I don't have a fever. It's true - that's today's mission." He said brightly, seemingly unaware that Naruto had fallen on the ground, twitching, as if someone had told him that he couldn't eat ramen anymore.

Sasuke, much unlike Naruto, was remaining calm about it, although inside his head, he too was wondering if Kakashi had been hit in the head one too many times. Sakura, not wanting to appear stupid, tried to remain calm like Sasuke had. However, inside her mind...

What the hell is Kakashi-sensei thinking? A reality show? Oh god, I hope they won't make us eat bugs... Inner Sakura ranted and complained.

"Now, you might want to pack up some things... just in case you'll need them, you know? Meet me back here in 3 hours." The trio's jounin teacher said, then vanished.


Well... how's that? If you liked it, then please review! Even if you didn't like it, review anyway, because what do you think I am, telepathic? I know the first chapter's pretty short, it's just so I can get the basic idea down and don't forget. XD I do that alot. Ah well. If you review, feel free to give suggestions for the next chapter, or future chapters, I'd really appriciate that.

As you can see, I'm evil and left the story off with a cliffhanger...

Darn. My train of thought just crashed.
