RANDOM ONE-SHOT TIME. –gets hit with rotten veggies-

I know, I know. I should be writing my other stories, and I will, soon, but I need to get this out of my head first.

-crowd gets pitchforks out-

Uhhhh.....yeah. Anyway....

-crowd gets closer-

EEP! UHHH NARUTO DOESN'T BELONG TO ME AT ALL AND

-chasing-

PLEASE ENJOY THIS FIC!!!!

Naruto was good at many things: eating, pranking, and of course keeping promises. There were things he needed to practice: being quiet for longer then six seconds, listening to people (other then those who were important to him), and tracking other ninjas. Then there were the things he was still trying to understand: a woman's emotions, being a Sage and about why people fought.

But Naruto would never be good at juggling.

Not juggling in the physical sense. While he was sure he could do the physical juggling if he tried hard enough, this was juggling in the emotional and circumstance sense.

He had only originally jugged school and trying to be noticed.

Then he graduated and became a member of Team 7. Now he still juggled trying to be accepted, but now he had to juggle with it trying to catch up to Sasuke and the new missions he was getting. Not to mention juggling his unrequited affection for a certain pink haired team mate.

Sasuke left. Now Naruto juggled more then ever. He was now performing a full act: doggedly pursuing his promise to Sakura, training to get strong enough to fulfill that promise, missions, his still unrequited love, and trying to be accepted.

Pein attacked. Naruto was suddenly thrown three more juggling balls: Sage training, fulfilling the wish of his dead master, and saving his village. He was also suddenly made aware of an unusual juggling ball he never knew he was tossing up and down carelessly: Hinata's heart.

Danzo became Hokage. This meant more for Naruto to juggle: Sasuke's very life was now his to defend.

Naruto isn't perfect.

He isn't a god.

And he knows, sooner or later, he's going to trip and drop all the balls he's been juggling.

It's only a matter of time.

-crowd is appeased with bacon and magic cookies-

Fhew! Though I'd never get out of that one. Anyway, this is my Naruto drabble thing of absolute emoness..............-looks around nervously-

Yeah, hoped you enjoyed it.

Remember: purple buttons are your friends!
