Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. In fact, I legally own nothing.
Notes: Some of these fit into the first half of Naruto (i.e. "gift"), some fit into the time skip (i.e. "prisms"), and some fit quite well into any bit of the series (i.e. "genjutsu").
Uzumaki Naruto: genjutsu
Naruto regarded the brown paper package set on the rickety table. He looked around warily, as though someone might be watching him. And given the attitude of the elders towards him, he might very well be watched, even if he couldn't detect anyone's presence.
Probably he was just being paranoid. Kakashi had told him once " Just because you feel as though every suspicious shadow is concealing an enemy, it doesn't follow that they aren't."
None of Kakashi's sayings made much sense.
Kakashi didn't make much sense, period.
Naruto looked back at the package.
It just sat there on the table, looking quite, quite innocent.
Gingerly, he pulled off the paper, revealing the bottle of sake he'd sneaked out of the little shop where he got his instant ramen. It still sat there, looking altogether unbelievably innocent, as he uncorked it.
A strange smell wafted up from the bottle. Naruto grimaced and wrinkled his nose, and took a little sip, straight from the bottle.
Pah! Gross! He spat it out, and sat trying to not to gag. This was what all the fuss was about?
Maybe it got better on the second try. So he took another sip, and this time swallowed it. A rush of heat went through him, and he blinked a little. That was more like it!
So he took another sip, and another, and pretty soon the bottle was half empty. He blinked at it as it swam out of focus. Wait a second..., hadn't he only taken one bottle? He reached out for that strange, unexplained second bottle and stared as his hand went right through it. He giggled inanely and did it again. How weird! How come it did that?
Genjustu! The answer came to him in a flash of illuminating green light. He was willing to bet (except not really, he loved the stuff in his little frog wallet too much to squander it on weird things like betting) that the floating sparkles out the sides of his eyes were caused by genjustu too.
He reached for the first bottle again, curious and a little afraid that his hand would pass through it too, and was relieved when his hand connected with it solidly.
And knocked it over.
The sake went cascading off one edge of the table. Naruto sat and muzzily watched it waterfall. And watched it quit water-falling, and go through all stages of cascadement right down to the drive-you-insane type of slow, steady drip.
Quite suddenly he felt... well, nauseous, which was something he normally didn't feel, thanks to the Kyuubi. He stumbled up and away from the table.
He looked at his hand as he weaved toward the little bathroom. Was it just him, or was the world spinning in dizzy circles?
More genjutsu!
Note: I don't drink. Hence all reactions experienced by Naruto towards the sake are simply the result of reading. If there are inaccuracies in his reaction to his first drink, that's the reason why. Also, I rather thought, that of all Naruto characters, Naruto himself is the most likely to shoplift a bottle and get drunk. Just for the hell of it.
