"Good evening Leaf City, and welcome to the evening news. With, Naruto Uzamaki, Sakura Haruno, Wolf-man Kiba with sports, and Shikamaru Nara with the weather, and here's your evening news team."

"Good evening." Naruto announces with a grin. His name tag appears on the screen, but everyone already knows who he is, the dreamy goofball from the evening news the one with the gorgeous eyes. "We're going to jump right into it tonight." He turned towards his Partner.

Sakura nodded as the camera changed to her. Sakura road to fame was shaky while Naruto got almost unanimous support from all demographics; Sakura had almost no support from the female audience. Mainly because of her bubble gum pink dyed hair, and the fact that she was Naruto's main squeeze. "Tragedy struck today as the entire Uchiha clan was Massacred in their houses early in the morning. We're sending it over to Ino who's live on the scene."

Xxx Ino xxX

Most rookies get the urge to smile when they come on; make the audience comfortable with them, but Ino was a professional. "Thank you Sakura." She was perfect her face and voice gave just the right amount of remorse without sounding decimated, or worse boring. "As you can see behind me I'm just outside the Uchiha complex. ANBU has the area locked down and won't let anybody inside the gates."

She paused for a moment allowing the Camera man to get a good shot of the front gate with two ANBU troopers blocking it off. "Approximately at three in the morning, a lone assassin infiltrated the maximum security compound and slaughtered the entire clan. According to the police I've talked to it is believed to be an inside job, but we won't know that until they are able to catalogue all of the corpses."

Suddenly the camera man swung his view back over to the gate their was some kind of commotion going on. "There seems to be something going on, com'on." She marched forward Microphone in hand. "The ANBU appear to be escorting someone out, is that? Yes it is!"

Saskue Uchiha was being helped out of the complex; he was limping and looked white as a sheet. " , , Ino Yamanaka FBC News, can I get an interview?"

"Don't say anything without a lawyer kid, these news types will rip you apart." The ANBU sergeant sat Saskue down in the back of the squad car.

"I'll have you know we're live."

" does have the right to remain silent, and has chosen to do so, ma'am"

Ino pressed on. "Is Saskue Uchiha a suspect?"

"No comment."

"Are there any other survivors?"

"No comment."

"Do you have any other leads?"

"Ma'am!" He was just short of shouting. "I have no comment."

Ino turned to the camera man. "This is a stone walled Ino Yamanaka, signing off."

Xxx Naruto and Sakura xxX

Sakura nodded. "Thank you Ino."

Naruto rubbed his chin. "I really wish they'd tell us if my best friend was suspected of murder or not." He sighed. "Keep in mind everyone that this is an ongoing investigation and we will be bringing you information as is surfaces." Naruto straightened out his Papers. "Now taking a look at the brighter side of things, today is the ten year anniversary of the destruction of the nine branches of the fox family."

Sakura nodded smiling slightly. "An event that is very near to your heart if I'm not mistaken Naruto."

Naruto laughed nervously. "Yes my father was vital in setting up the bust that took them down."

"You know since that day, leaf city has the least amount of criminal activity of any major city." She continued the station did allow them a lot of leeway with talking as long as they managed to cover all of their topics. "I hear that you actually gave a speech at the dedication ceremony to your father's memorial statue, how did that go?"

"It was actually very nice, there was a lot of people there and a lot of support."

"Didn't get any of it on film eh?"

"No actually, but that transitions perfectly into our next topic. Our Lovable field reporter Choji has left the news team, but if you miss him you can always find him here on FBC at 4: am on Jazzercise with Choji."

"From all of us, we wish Choji all the success in the world."

Xxx Later that night xxX

The Black Penny was the bar all of the Radio and News personalities hung out after work. The walls of the bat were covered with famous celeberties who'd visited the bar. To night the bar was all abuzz with the knew That Choji had landed his own T.V Show.

And everyone was very excited about it. "That two bit hack got his own show and not me?" Naruto took a gulp from his drink.

Sakura put her hand on his. "Naruto don't go all Pre-Madonna on us."

He let out a heavy sigh. "I'm not being full of myself; do you really think that he deserved his own slot more than anyone at this table?"

"Well, more than Shikamaru at least." Ino offered.

"Yeah." Kiba nodded.

"yeah I was thinking that too." Sakura agreed.

Shikamaru looked up from his drink. "I beg your pardon."

Ino put a hand on his shoulder. "Oh don't take it personally; you just don't have the drive to have your own show that's all."

"Well you know what." Shikamaru chugged the last of his drink. "Choji is my best friend so I'm going to buy him a round and give him some genuine complements." He walked off not bothering to look back.

"Boy testy." Ino whispered jumping into Shikamaru's booth seat. "So Naruto who's going to get Choji's old job?"

"I'm giving it to that Hinata girl."

"The intern?" Kiba asked suddenly interested. "Man she is so hot!"

"You're giving the job to Hinata the Hyper-ventilator?" Sakura asked in surprise.

Naruto rolled his eyes. "She does not Hyperventilate."

Ino shook her head. "Oh no Sakura and I found her lost in the Archive room one time. In the fetal position, and white as a ghost."

Sakura shrugged and finished off her scotch. "In her defense she did have the file we asked for clutched in her hand, her sweaty clammy hand."

"We're just going to give her a few fluff pieces and see how she handles it from there."

"I can tell you how she'll handle it." Kiba announced. He looked at the three of them and smiled feeling very clever. "Are you familiar with the Hindenburg? The Titanic, the Roman Empire, Green Lantern the Movie?"

"Kiba's first marriage." Ino giggled.

As the two of them began to fight Naruto leaned in towards Sakura and she did the same. "I'm just giving her the same things I gave you when you were starting out."

She gave him a cool smile. "Not all of the same things I hope." She ran her foot along the inside of his thigh, and gave him a seductive wink."

Naruto shuddered, but not in a bad way. "No." He flashed her his own smile. "That would be a scandal."
