The L Boogie- Instead of writing out numerous turns in a single chapter, I think I'll be fickle and write out a single turn per chapter. Oh, I do mean for the whole lot of them, but still, once action packed turn at a time. There's been some interesting dice rolls, which I will admit to fudging slightly for amusements sake, but they are for the most part as per what chance declared. The characters will be identified, and while everyone was right on Naruto, Tsunade, Kakashi, and Shikamaru…the other two no one guessed. So, read on and enjoy round one!
Legal Information- I don't own Naruto and I don't own Monopoly. That's not too hard to figure out. If you sue me, then all you'll get IS Monopoly money, and I don't even have much of that it seems.

The tunnels were dark, and the lighting was poor. They stretched for hundreds of feet in all directions, creating a sort of labyrinth inside the earth. Side by side strolled a pair of Shinobi, both very well known for their tremendous skill and power. One was powerful enough to have been selected to be the Hokage of Konohagakure, while the other one was considered the next best candidate to fill her shoes. Their steps slowed as they came to a tremendous clearing, where they were quick to realize that they were not alone.
" HEY!" called out the tall woman as she saw a pair of silhouettes in the distant cavern.
The Shinobi accompanying her pulled out a small book and began reading from where he had left off, uninterested in any kind of exchange.
" Jeez. What are you doing? Following me?" called back a male voice.
The two figures drew closer, revealing themselves to be a spiky haired brunet young man along side of a blond woman slightly his senior, with her hair tied off at four opposing corners. They greeted the Hokage and the Copycat Ninja with a shaky wave.
" What are you two doing down here?" Tsunade asked.
" That is a good question. This area isn't finished yet. You two shouldn't be down here. You guys aren't up to anything…are you?" Kakashi alluded, almost with a hint of hope.
" Are you crazy? I'm just showing Temari…er…the Suna Ambassador the new evacuation cavern that we've been working on for the past year. It's almost complete, and her village was planning a similar project. So I thought it would be a good idea to show it to her to help them with the decision." stated the perpetually troubled Shinobi.
" Right. As you know, because it is based out in the desert, Suna does not tend to have any reliable allies within a days reach. While we do have some evacuation plans now, we were looking into upgrading. Especially considering that they're predicting a rough storm season within a year. Because of this, we will need to be able to provide shelter to our people." spoke the Suna Ambassador evenly.
The First Round
" Okay, so I guess I'm up first." Kakashi said with a hint of excitement.
The group watched as he rolled the dice, not looking away once from the book he was reading. He didn't bother to shake the dice at all in his hand, for instead he simply picked them up and dropped them directly back down on the board. 4 and 1. The Copycat Ninja moved his Top Hat piece five spaces.
" Would you look at that. Reading Railroad." he said, not accenting the fact that he was busy reading his latest in the line of erotic romance novels, " It must be fate. Sakura…the rules state that if you own all the Railroads, you can transfer your piece between them assuming you land on any one of them. Is that correct?" he asked.
" That's how I've always played it. Don't forget that the rent is increased by fifty dollars for each other railroad you own." stated the effeminately voiced young woman.
" Well then, I'd like to purchase it." he said with a smile visible from under his mask.
An exchange of 200 dollars was made, and now Kakashi was the owner of a railroad.
" Aw…I wanted the railroad. Well just you wait Kakashi-sensei…I'll get the others!" Naruto warned.
" Ease off Naruto. It's my turn. You go after me…" Sakura spoke, taking the dice from the center of the board and giving them a light toss.
They rolled across the logo and stopped at the other side, still barely on the board. Both dice read 6.
" Double 6's! Alright! I'll get to go again!" she cheered, moving her piece 12 spaces.
Her horse and rider piece landed itself on the electric company, which she delightfully paid for. Taking her second roll, she tossed the dice and rolled a 3 and a 2. Upon moving her avatar five spaces, she landed on a Community Chest square. She took the top card and red it aloud.
" Banking error in your favor. Collect fifty dollars. Lucky." she said daintily.
YEAH! I'M TOTALLY GONNA CREAM THESE GUYS! CHA!
" Hey, come on…everyone's getting all the cool stuff…" Naruto whined.
" Who cares? It's only a game." Shikamaru shot.
He tried to stretch his arms, but was stuck between a Temari and the wall. She turned and gave him a glare when his elbow jarred harmlessly against her ribs.
" What the hell was that for?" she questioned.
" I'm just trying to stretch. Don't freak out." he answered.
" Well stretch somewhere else." she warned, turning her head.
" Yeah, sure. Piece of cake. Just let me go into the other room…" he mumbled, looking away.
He didn't bother to watch Naruto roll.
" OKAY! IT'S MY TURN!" cheered the hyperactive blonde, " I'm gonna roll doubles over and over again until I own all the properties!"
" You know that if you roll doubles more than twice…you go to jail…" Tsunade warned in an eerie manner.
" What? Hmmm…"
He took a moment to think about his situation, before the irritation of waiting had been more than Temari wanted to take.
" Just roll already!" she shouted, giving him a strong push.
Taking the hint, he pulled back his fist and let the dice fly. Literally. They landed hard against the board and bounced off, one in between Shikamaru's eyes, and the other into Tsunade's cleavage.
" Ow! Jeez would you take it easy Naruto? I mean it's not like you have to throw them…" he whined, picking the dice up and tossing it onto the board.
Tsunade on the other hand scowled at the blond, who started to offer to go get that dice for her, however she didn't waste time in digging around her robe for it, and once it was dug out, she pulled back her fist and shoved it into Naruto's mouth…along with both of the dice. He fell back against the wall of the elevator and gulped. A moment later, he looked up with a worried expression
" Well? What's wrong Naruto? Aren't you going to roll?" Sakura asked.
" Umm…well…you see…when she hit me…she kind of shoved the dice in my mouth…" Naruto spoke.
" Yeah? And?" asked Temari as she folded her arms.
" I uhh…well…when I fell backwards…I kinda…" he alluded.
" You didn't." Sakura said, flatly.
He nodded.
" He swallowed them." Kakashi remarked, never once looking away from the book.
A sigh echoed from the players as Sakura dug through the box, hoping to find a second pair.
" Damn it Naruto…you can be such a screw up…" she stated.
" B…But Sakura-chan…" Naruto begged.
As the gamers began to argue, Tsunade reached into the sleeve of her robe, pulling out a small pouch. Inside, she took two small cubes and set them on the board.
" Here. We can use these." she said cooly.
" I never knew you carried them on you? Are they lucky?" Sakura asked.
" Not really. But it does pay to keep a set on you from time to time. Never know what you're going to use them for…" she claimed with a smile.
" Alright! Then here I go!" Naruto called, taking the dice and raising his fist up high into the air.
Before he could roll, a strong blow was dealt to him by the young woman sitting on his right, causing the dice to drop out of his hand and onto the board.
2 and 1.
Moving the Battleship three squares, he was placed on Baltic Avenue.
" Sure, it's cheap…but it's not worth much. No way." he said, crossing his arms.
" Suit yourself. It's my turn now." Tsunade declared, taking the dice into her hands.
She gave them a couple of shakes, then closed her eyes and blew on the dice while they were still cupped in her hollow fists.
" Jeez. Is that your ritual or something that you do every time you roll the dice? Cause you know that crap doesn't work…" Shikamaru said, ever the skeptic.
" Shut up…you're ruining my concentration…" Tsunade spat, going through the motions all over again while ignoring Shikamaru's mumbling.
The dice rolled across the board as she let them go, and landed squarely on 5 and 2.
" Lucky seven!" she cried with a grin.
Her piece landed on Chance, prompting her to draw a card.
" Get out of jail free. A good start." she declared with a grin.
Temari was second to last and picked up the pair of dice, gripping them tightly. With a flick of the wrist, she let the dice roll across the board, settling on 1 and 6. Moving her figure seven spaces, she accompanied Tsunade on the Chance square, and picked up the top card as prompted.
" You win a beauty pageant. Collect $20." she said with a shrug, " Not really worth it, but whatever…"
She turned to Shikamaru who was staring dolefully up at the ceiling. He wasn't even paying attention, so she grabbed the dice for him and held them out. This caught his attention, and so carefully he reached out to take the dice. Her hand pressed onward quickly, and collided into his own while catching it in the process. She slipped him the dice in the exchange, but held tightly to his hand while giving him a sweet smile.
" Good luck, Shikamaru." she said coyly.
The look on his face was a mixture of confusion and terror.
I hate when she does things like this. Really creeps me out…
Now, with the dice in hand, he gave them a simple and half hearted toss. They fell like lead weights and barely even seemed to move as they turned over a 1 and 3. His piece was moved four spaces, and he groaned as he gathered his money.
" Luxury Tax…pay $200...what a drag…" he sighed, forking the money over to Sakura, to be placed in the Free Parking pot, " Thanks for the bad luck Temari…"
