The L Boogie- Alrighty. Sorry about the lengthy up date. Just happened that way I suppose...Anyhow, enjoy. Another round of madness (although this one is more tame...but don't worry...in a few rounds all hell seems to start breaking loose. And while I don't write this stuff (though I do...) these dice rolls are what were rolled, mostly.
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.
Narutopoly
" How the hell long is this elevator?" Sakura scoffed, pacing around within the small enclosure.
" I don't know…it's weird though. I heard Kakashi-sensei was down here with Tsunade-baachan. You'd think we'd have found them by now." Naruto offered, giving a gentle shrug.
" So why are they down here together? And for that matter, why do you need to see Kakashi-sensei? Don't tell me you want to show him one of your new jutsu's…" she asked in a dry tone.
" Why? And what's wrong with that anyways?" he asked in turn.
" It's childish first off. And I wanted to know why, because we're stuck in this stupid elevator together like this. It's been four minutes and I'm about to lose my mind." the pink haired girl chided, her tone becoming angrier.
" I don't see why it's so bad. I mean, it is just the two of us. But isn't that a good thing?" he suggested with his blond brows raised.
An angry glare from the young woman told him to put a couple more inches of space between them.
" I have this stupid letter to deliver from Suna and it has to make it into her hands, as per the Kazekage's request. When I get done with that, I need to go track down Temari and find out how the preparations for the Chunin Exams are going so I can file a report and submit it to the Elders for review. When I get all that finished up, I have a day off waiting for me, and you better believe I'll be taking easy for once in my life." she ranted.
He nodded and agreed, which only irritated her even more as he seemed to believe his life was just as busy as hers. As the elevator came to a halt at the bottom of the cavern, the door opened up, and the pair walked out into a large cave. There, standing in a semi circle, were the four figures of Shikamaru, Temari, Kakashi, and Tsunade.
The Second Round
With the first round of action finished, it was now time for the dice to be passed back to the Copy Nin. With a quick roll of the dice, he watched lazily as they landed on a one and a two.
" Hmm…only a 3? It looks like my luck may be fading some…" he observed, light heartedly.
Moving his top hat piece from the Reading Railroad, he set it on Vermont Ave., and took a moment to consider his options.
" I could just buy it…but…I don't think it would actually help me in the long run. It would be pretty unlikely for me to pick up the other two, at least while the rest of you still have yet to go. Hmmm…" he reasoned.
Irritation swept through the other members of the game as he sat there considering his options, until finally Tsunade spoke up.
" Do something Kakashi, or it's gonna start costing you by the second." she warned.
He glanced over to her with his one exposed eye, raising a brow. With a shrug, he handed the dice to Sakura.
" I don't need it. Here you go Sakura." he said.
With a nod, the pink haired Kunoichi took the dice and gave another gentle toss, watching as the dice skidded across the board, stopping on a 6 and 5.
" Eleven…that means…" she said, moving the piece over all the properties, landing on her destination.
" Waterworks! Alright, I'll take it." she said, her tone full of excitement despite having to pay $150.
Not having the same luck as before, she turned and handed the dice over to Naruto, giving him a strong glare.
" Don't lose them." she warned.
" What makes you think I will?" he asked, not seeming to recall his previous rolling mishap.
Her glare lingered for another moment before relaxing. With everything back to normal, Naruto took the dice and gave them a hard toss. Though it rolled off the board, no one cared to watch Naruto reroll every one that wouldn't stay on. Counting the five that landed nearby Temari's fan, as well as the three in Kakashi's lap, Naruto moved his piece eight spaces and onto St. Charles Place. He examined it briefly, then nodded.
" Yeah. I like it. I'll buy it!" he announced, holding out a hand to Sakura.
Her eyes fell on his outstretched hand, then looked up at his face, taking in his serious expression with a flat one at her own.
" What's this for?" she asked.
" I said I'm buying it." he answered.
" So give me $140 and I'll give you the title." she offered.
" Why can't I get the title first, then give the money?" he asked.
" Why does it matter? Either way, I'm the bank…so you either pay up or take a hike." she barked, giving him a fierce glare.
With a grunt, he forked over the designated sum and in return took the title from her hand. Once the dice were collected, they were handed to Tsunade, whom took her dice rolling stance again.
" God…doesn't she know people are watching?" Shikamaru remarked.
" Shut up." the elder blond responded.
As she performed her dice rolling ceremony, Shikamaru let out a drawl sigh in embarrassment, unbelieving in the fact that this woman was the Hokage. Upon letting the dice roll, she struck a pose of sort, believing in the gamble. Suddenly, the dice seemed to stop on One and Five, prompting the legendary "Sitting Duck" to move her piece onto States Ave.
" It feels like good luck. I'm in…Give it to me Sakura! I'm feeling lucky!" she announced, exchanging her money for the title.
With a smile, she took the dice and handed them over to Temari, who had a rather impatient look on her face. The younger blond took them and gave them a hard stare.
" It's really not that hard Temari…all you have to do is give them a light toss. Whatever numbers face upwards, you move your piece that many squares." Shikamaru shot.
The Suna Nin growled at him, giving the dice a light toss and watched them blankly roll across the board. Rolling a One and a Five, her piece followed Tsunade's onto States Ave., prompting her already sour expression to become more embittered.
" Pay up. No one stays free." the Hokage goaded as Temari handed her a fist full of now crumpled bills.
Shikamaru grabbed the dice from across the board, holding back a snicker while fending off Temari's piercing scowl. With a more energetic toss, the dice roll this time was slightly more favorable, as a Two and Three surfaced. Moving his piece further down, he placed it on Connecticut Ave.
" Sure, I'll buy it…whatever." he said, exchanging his money for a title from Sakura.
" Why did you buy it?" Kakashi asked, interested to see if Shikamaru would reveal his plan.
" Because I've got nothing to show for my current loss of money." he revealed with a lazy shrug.
" That's it? You did it just because you don't have anything to show for it otherwise. I thought you were some kind of genius…" Temari scolded.
Shikamaru raised a brow at her.
" What's the big deal? It's not a game of Shogi, so why should I care…" he stated.
