Naruto's Present
Chapter 1:
A lonely falcon desperately flapped. By the time it reached the bird houses of the Konoha postal service it was already beyond its limit. It collapsed on the arms of a confused Postal Service shinobi. The shinobi looked at the panting bird & then the large package it deposited in his arms.
"What the…" he exclaimed.
The package was addressed to 'My Dear Naruto', without a signature, or a return address & most disconcertingly, it moved. Without further ado, the shinobi quickly took it to the Hokage sama.
/ Hokage's Office /
Shizune banged the door in, "Tsunade sama! There is a mysterious incident that needs your attention!"
The Hokage spilled her tea all over her desk as she quickly attempted to hide a certain small orange book from view.
"A-h… Shi-Shizune! What is the matter?" stammered Tsunade.
"Tsunade sama…" Shizune said with a twitch, "What is that you are reading? It looks suspiciously like one of those Icha Icha porn thingies.
Tsunade shoved Jiraiya's Icha Icha Paradise under the desk, "Shizune! Do not get distracted by unnecessary things. What is the important thing you want to tell me?"
Shizune became serious once more, "Tsunade sama, it's about this mysterious package that the Postal Service received today. Apparently the transporting hawk was half-dead from carrying the heavy package. It contains no seal or signature, no trace of its origin & most peculiarly…"
Tsunade concentrated…
"The package wriggles!" Shizune finished lamely.
"Eh?" Tsunade sweat dropped. "Bring the thing here", She commanded.
Upon closer inspection of the package she said, "It's addressed to Naruto. Where on earth could it have come from? It seems that something alive is inside. Or it could be some sort of jutsu…"
"Tsunade sama", Shizune interjected, "Since it's Naruto it could be some sort of trap. Maybe it's from the Akatsuki!"
"Hmm… Lock it up, Shizune & don't tell Naruto anything about this."
So Shizune went to lock the package up in a storage cellar. Little did she know that after a while the package got up, wriggled itself out of the window & went off to find a certain blonde Konoha Shinobi.
