Catch-22

Uchiha X Uzumaki Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto X Uchiha bias. Shounen-ai—don't like, don't read, don't cry. Mainly SasuNaruSasu, possibly some ItaNaruIta. There may be hints of other pairs, or generic-ness. This is a NARUTO-centric theme collection.

For the 1000-Theme!Challenge by Mint Pizza Queen. NARUTO-centric. Alternate Universe and Non-Alternate Universe. It was lovingly erratic. It was insanely problematic. It was pathetically ambitious. It was simply grand. SasuNaruSasu, plus some others.

Disclaimer: I do not own either Naruto or the 1000 Themes, and do not claim to. However, everything else, AKA: the writing, (some if not all of) the (theme-guided) plot, any poetic interpretation, et cetera, IS MINE.

(A/N: This will serve as an introduction. Welcome, yeah? I am insane to begin this.

(Note: Each set of ten will cover a certain type of theme, depending on the mood that I feel is generated by the content. Above, you will find the generic summary. And by NARUTO-centric, I mean series-centric, not character-centric.

(Note: Every now and then, the reader will come across a SKIPPED theme. I will return to it, and yes, I will notify everyone when I have completed it. Keep in mind that the majority of the themes have been done before hand, so don't fear for my deadlines just yet. I began the challenge on Wednesday, March 28th, 2007. It's been a while (Now it's Monday.), and currently, I've still only done eight themes. (sighs) Hopefully, hopefully…!

(Note: Please, if you feel the overwhelming urge to ask a question or to ask for clarification, please do so. I encourage feedback, positive or critical. And no, I personally do not care to hear about how 'Oh-em-gee1!1!!eleven!! Eyes HEEEYTE sasurNru! Smae fr Ieeh-tuhNru!' Sorry if you have difficulty translating. (grins) Nonetheless, your cooperation is appreciated.

(Title Note: What is catch-22? I'm sure that at least one person is a bit curious. (For the abridged definition, just check at the bottom. It'll save the rest of you time.) Aside from that, I chose this because, in the creation of this collection, I have just created myself a nice, fat and prosperous catch-22. Nonsensical, I daresay.

(… I have now promptly forgotten the rest of my welcome speech. Feel free to proceed, or backtrack if you don't like short, varied styles. Each piece will be self-sufficient, or so I think.

(So, presenting, Catch-22, Parts One through Fifty-Seven: letter a.)
