It's Part 2 of the auditions! I've already written the disclaimer so I won't write it from here on in. Here's our first contestant of the day! Can this wannabe rocker follow Choji through?
(Gaara walks in)
Gaara: I'm Gaara of the Sand, but you can call me just Gaara.
Kakashi: And what will you be singing?
Gaara: The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden.
I left alone, my mind was blank.
I needed time to get the memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe,
That what I saw last night was real
and not just fantasy?
Just what I saw, in my old dreams,
Were they reflections of my warped mind
staring back at me?
'Cause in my dreams, it's always there,
The evil face that twists my mind and brings
me to despair
Gaara: (to himself) Okay, here goes…
(screams powerfully)
Kakashi: Okay, stop. Gaara, to be honest with you, that was like seven-inch-long nails down a clean chalkboard.
Gai: Bruce Dickinson is one of the greatest metal singers of all time. That song was way too big for you by miles. It was just really bad.
Iruka: If I played that scream over a hundred times, that's what it would sound like when Mars and Jupiter collide.
Kakashi: Three no's, Gaara.
Next was his sister, Temari.
Iruka: Hi, what's your name?
Temari: I'm Temari of the Sand.
Kakashi: And you will be singing…?
Temari: Teardrops on my Guitar by Taylor Swift.
Kakashi: Okay, go.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar.
The only thing that keeps me fishing with a fishing rod.
Kakashi: Stop. How do you expect to win if you botch the lyrics to a song being played on every radio station in the nation? –turns to the other judges- A unanimous no?
Iruka & Gai: No it is.
Next up was their brother, Kankuro.
Gai: And you are...?
Kankuro: Kankuro of the Sand.
Kakashi: What will you be singing?
Kankuro: Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely by the Backstreet Boys.
Kakashi: (to himself): Is he for real?
Iruka: You may start.
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with?
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Kakashi: Incredibly, I actually liked that!
Gai: Yeah, that was really good!
Kakashi: Straight yeses, then?
Iruka: Yep.
Kakashi: Kankuro, you're through to Hollywood!
When Kankuro showed his siblings the golden ticket, this was the reaction.
Gaara & Temari: -jaws drop by about a foot-
The next four were Hidan, Tobi, Pein, and Kabuto. All four made it through. Next was Zetsu.
Zetsu: I'm Zetsu.
Kakashi: And you will be singing…?
Zetsu: For Once in My Life by Stevie Wonder.
Kakashi: Okay, go ahead.
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
Gai: I actually rather like that – it's in the 70's soul singer vibe.
Iruka: Yeah, I can see a bit of that in there as well.
Kakashi: Straight yeses?
Gai: Straight yeses.
Kakashi: Zetsu, you're through.
Soon after…
(Konohamaru steps in)
Kakashi: You're not old enough to enter.
Konohamaru: Fine! Just rot in hell, you moron! (flashes loser sign)
Kakashi: What the hell is up with this idiot? Next!
The next two were Kisame and Konan, who both got through.
Kakashi: Is this Akatsuki Qualifying for Hollywood Day or something?
After Hinata had stepped in and then raced out, it was time for the final contestant of the auditions.
Naruto: I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and not only will I become the Hokage, but the Ninja Idol as well!
All three judges in unison: No.
(flashback to last year)
(Naruto walks into the room in a suit of the Third Hokage)
Naruto: Hi!
(end flashback)
And that's it for the auditions! To recap, our 16 remaining contestants are Sakura, Ino, Sasuke, Kiba, Akamaru, Itachi, Neji, Choji, Kankuro, Hidan, Tobi, Pein, Kabuto, Zetsu, Kisame, and Konan.
