Yo! Sorry for the(ridiculously) late update.
Had a severe case of writers block.
I DON'T OWN AVALON CODE OR NARUTO!
That is all.
My eyes fluttered open, okay, note to self. Make sure to have clones never create more clones to study, I got up and took a look around
'Hmm… This looks kinda like…' I heard seagulls cawing, I saw ruined houses made of brick, cobblestone alleys, a rather choppy sea "Nantucket."
'But, what happened?'
I wandered around, after a while a found two buildings that weren't utterly destroyed. A Jail, and an Inn.
Being… well… Me, I went into the Inn first, it looked much smaller from the outside.
It looked about the size of a standard Inn on the outside, but on the inside, was about the size of the friggin' Uchiha district!
There was even a directory!
I looked at it, apparently it was for the various sections of… my brain?
Oh! now I get it! This is my mindscape!
I started reading it.
There was a section for reviewing short-term memory, a theatre of my memories, a food court, a concert hall, and an area that was blotted out… my stomach grumbled while deciding where to go… To the food court it is!
-Twenty Dream Minutes Later-
My eyes opened wide, my mouth even wider, I apparently took a wrong turn somewhere and landed in heaven! Mountains of ramen, and no one is around to claim it, Therefore. IT IS MINE!
-another forty minutes later-
I lied down, bloated, I ate to much…precious…ramen.
I heard rather loud mumblings bounce off the wall, and it also appeared to come from the loud speaker.
"…ningen…seal…stuck….jailor…damned blondes…" it said, and because my mindscape took on the appearance of a mall, it echoed badly.
After a short while, I was finally able to get up… before regaining consciousness.
-Real World-
"GAH!" I looked around, Yup, I'm awake.
I looked at the clock, 9:00 AM… Wait… NANI? 'KUSO KUSO KUSO!' I thought as I quickly packed a nutrition bar, and ate another one, grabbed all my kunai and shuriken, placed them in their respective packs and reached for The Book when… ZAP!
"OW!" I yelled grabbing the afflicted hand 'Rempo, did you have something to do with this?' 'Yeah! Don't you recall what the printout said? "Bring all Ninja Tools!" The Book IS NOT a Ninja Tool! ' 'But-' 'And besides! You used it incorrectly the last time you were in battle!… Okay, how about this?' the book opened to the page of a sword, it said it was the Kalelia Sword. It had two Iron codes, two Justice codes, and two Dog codes, I quickly memorized that setup for later
'This is the same sword that a couple Children of Legend ran around with most of the time, I am permitting the use of it for today. Starting tomorrow, you'll have to scan a sword and experiment to see what code setup suits you best.' I nod, that sounds fairly reasonable. There was a bright flash and a sword in a sheath and a shield were on top of the book.
I quickly grabbed them and ran to the Training Grounds
-5 minutes later-
"I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryforbeinglatepleasedon'tkillm-" My rapid apologies stopped once I noticed something important "Hey, where's Kakashi-sensei?"
Sakura and Sasuke glared at me and said
"Not here yet." at the same time, then Sakura noticed my new sword and shield.
"Hey Naruto, where did you get those?" I held them up and said, "Someone loaned them to me." that seemed to get rid of their curiosity.
I then made a couple dozen clones and said "Okay you guys, spar with each other. And remember, DO NOT make more clones! We don't want a repeat of last time!" they all nodded and ran off, I turned around, and asked
"Okay, what's the plan?" they looked at me curiously
"Plan? What plan?" Sakura asked
"…Well, think. What kind of test is it?""Survival, he told us that yesterday!""How many people are here right now?""Three""How many people are in a Squad?""Three, not including the sen-" her eyes widened in realization
"Exactly, and don't forget, yesterday you guys promised we'd stick together!"
Sakura sighed, and Sasuke Hn'd
"So, here's the plan! But please don't kill me!"
-One Hour Later.-(Thanks goes to Auto-nin for this part, she came up with it during my writers block.)
'...Something isn't right...' Kakashi thought as he puffed onto the training ground. He could sense Naruto's chakra all over the area, but guessed it was a bad genjutsu that failed. However, he then realized he had yet to hear a "You're late!" which he at least got with one Gennin with each team. He looked around and instantly froze at what he saw.
"Kakashi-sensei!" There was three hot girls in bikinis hugging each other with the dark haired one stuck in the middle and blushing as the one with long hot pink hair wrapped her arms a bit too much over her bosom while the blonde with the side ponytails was hugging her stomach.
"..." Blood could be seen dripping through Kakashi's mask. 'Holy crap... It's like Icha Icha in real life!'
"CHARGE!" Kakashi turned his head to see an army of Naruto's charge him.
"Crap!" Kakashi dodged only to see all the explosive notes on the clone's jackets.
-BOOM!-
"..." All three girls disappeared in smoke to expose a sweating Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura and a grinning Naruto as they saw Kakashi rolling on the ground as he managed to avoid the most of the blast, but still had some of his clothes caught on fire. "...It actually worked?" Sakura asked, too shocked to beat up Naruto after forcing both Sasuke and her to do his plan as Naruto picked up two bells.
"...Dobe... you are an evil mastermind behind that grin." Sasuke sighed, wondering what twisted revenge Naruto could come up with for his older brother.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked before all three felt killer intent and saw Kakashi glaring at them, covered with soot and his hair an inch shorter. "Uh... I believe we need to run... Very, VERY, fast." Both nodded before they bolted to get away before Kakashi killed them.
"Huh? Where'd the bells go?" Kakashi asked himself as he patted himself to find the bells gone. "...Eh... What the heck... I'll pass them... And get my revenge with the missions! Ha!" Kakashi evilly chuckled, seeing these three happen to have the potential of doing teamwork... But he does wonder how Naruto got an Uchiha and a female to do that vulgar jutsu.
-a few minutes later-Outside Naruto's Apartment- 3rd person PoV
Sasuke and Sakura were doubled over panting.
"Dobe… that was…. Two miles… how can… you still… be…not tired?" Sasuke asked
"Well, I don't know, I seem to be able to outlast a lot of people for some reason. Maybe they don't get enough exercise?" Naruto Responded
Sasuke blinked.
Here was the Dead-last, the person who got F's in EVERY CLASS besides stealth, saying that he had naturally more stamina than an Uchiha? He honestly would've decked him… if it weren't for his arms being preoccupied supporting himself.
"Now, since we're here, you want to come in? I'll give you two some Lunch!" he said with a grin.
At the thought of food, their stomachs answered for them, temporarily taking control of the brain
"COMING!"Naruto opened the door, and within seconds, the tired duo were in his house.
Naruto gave a low whistle, he knew hunger did things to folks, case in point? Choji!
After PE, he would get really hungry, but he had to go to Politics class first, but as soon as that bell rung, he ran to the cafeteria with an afterimage following him!
Sasuke and Sakura looked around in shock, Naruto could afford this? He must be rich!
But then recalling how he occasionally came to school in tattered clothes, and how he sometimes missed lunch, they wondered, did he buy this? Or did he make this?
As their minds went through the possibilities, he shuddered as he got memories from the clones, apparently, Kakashi found them, and he was not happy! as evidenced by him dispersing several clones via swift kicks to the groin… Ow.
He sighed as he made two clones, one to pick a recipe and cook, while the other got the ingredients.
He went over to entertain his guests. And offered them some crackers to tie them over for lunch…which they attacked like starving pigeons.
-Fifty Minutes Later-
After three games of Uno!, War, Go Fish, and Poker. The food was finally done!
The smell made our stomachs grumble in anticipation.
We sat at the table, waiting diligently.
-one minute later-
The food arrived, and we all dug in!
-5 minutes later-
My mouth was agape at what I just saw.
Sakura and Sasuke inhaled their food like I used to!
Now that I would expect from someone like Kiba or Choji, but NOT Sasuke and Sakura!
I looked at their licked clean plates, and then at my half-finished one before cutting my remaining pork chops in half and putting them on their plates.
Now, I may be a huge fan of Ramen, but Teuchi-ojii and Ayame-nii made me eat something else every now and then, my favorite food that they showed me?
Pork chops in gravy!
Of course, it being a foreign dish, they had me use a steak knife and a fork to eat with as opposed to the usual chopsticks.
'Ah, the good ol' days.' I thought.
I then looked at the status of their plates, licked clean AGAIN! but this time, they both were slumped over in their chairs, asleep.
'Low blood sugar.'
*Thump*
'Apparently very low blood sugar' I sighed and looked at the clock.
'and barely 1.' I sighed and grabbed a bottle of medicine from my medicine cabinet, put it in my pocket, and made two clones, and whispered to them
"Okay, you two take them home," I pulled out a two Ziploc™ bags and put some of my homemade sleeping pills in them. "Put these on their dresser or bedstand, whichever they have that is closer, I'm*Yawns* going to study up on Fuinjutsu, see if I can find an upgrade for our storage seals." they nodded, one took a picture of the sleeping duo(who were leaning on each other) handed me the camera, whispered "Blackmail or Get Out of Jail Free Card with the Uchiha Fangirls" I nod, and the clone picked up Sakura and went off towards her house, while the other one just stood there quietly, and asked
"Um, Where does he live again?""Doesn't he live in the Uchiha District?" I asked
"But, what about the rumors of him living in an apartment?"
"…Good point. I'll investigate." I made two clones, who nodded and went off in different directions.
-5 minutes later-
I finally received memories from those two clones, as it turns out, he does, in actuality, live in the Uchiha District, Either that, or someone broke into his house, and has been wearing several blue shirts with the Uchiha Fan on them.
So the clone, who was now playing Jenga™ got up, and picked up said Emo and took him home.
I went off to finish up that "Fuinjutsu for Dummies" book I found in an old bookstore.
_Omake:_Lee's Punishment_
"YOSH! If Gamerteen-san doesn't have Ten reviews by October 7th I will run around his house eight thousand times! If I fail to do that then I shall run to a town 50 miles away! If I fail to do that then I shall punch down trees and make a log house! If I fail to do that then I shal-" Lee said going on, and on, and on, and on. Were the exact words I said a couple weeks ago, Now?
There is now a clearing in the forest, a log cabin, a tree neighborhood, and several new catalogued species of insects are my reward.
Of course, everyone was interested as to why I did this. I told them
"I made a promise, and I always keep my promises." many people respected me for that simple statement.
I wound up with broken hands, several cuts. Twenty bruises, and some minor back damage from keeping it.
Then Gai-sensei found out, and came to visit me in the hospital.
"Ah, my youthful student! How fares your healing?" he stated
"Just fine Gai-sensei, the nurses say that if I have one more day of bed rest before I get discharged! And then I can continue my youthful activities!" I said, Gai-sensei grinned
"That is good to hear my youthful student! Did the nurses say anything else?"
"Yes, they said, and I quote "This kid has the fastest damn healing I've ever seen!" end quote."
"YOSH!" Gai-sensei yelled, then a nurse popped her head in
"I'm sorry sir, but if you continue being loud, I'll have to throw you out, your disturbing the other patients." she said
"My apologies Nurse-san" Gai-sensei replied.
And after she left, Gai-sensei and I talked for a bit, and then we shared a youthful hug(quietly of course), he told me of the recent events, the fact that the Chunin Exams were going to take place in Konoha this summer, that a blonde prankster wearing orange painted the Hokage Monument, and that there were rumors of a book club being started.
The last Uchiha being one of the members.
Obviously, all the eligible women in Konoha wanted to join, but they could never find the person to ask to join.
He shared with me some Taijutsu training tips, told me to halve my training for a couple days after I get discharged, and after that to triple it to make up for lost time, we shared one more brief hug before he left.
And all was silent.
I looked at the clock, 4 PM, it'll be a while before my body allows me to go to sleep.
And since my hands are broken, I can't change the TV channel.
I sighed and did the only other time consuming thing I could think of.
"Ninety-nine bottles of pop on the wall, ninety-nine bottles of pop…"
Authors Notes:
Happy(slightly early) Halloween!
My sincerest apologies for not getting this done in under a months time, but as I stated earlier, I had a bad case of writers block.
…And I found my old ToS game, along with my GC memory card with my near-end-save on it =D
Also, I'm sorry for my piece of crap attempt at a mindscape scene.
Thanks to Auto-nin for the scene and the proofreading!
Also, for simultaneous talking, there are supposed to be underlines, but for some odd reason, when I posted the other two, the site disliked underlines.
The only reason they appeared in Chp.3, was because I went through in HTML and manually inserted(read copied and pasted) the Beginning Italics code and the Ending Italics code around where the underlines were needed.
Anyway.
May your costumes be scary, and may candy flow into your buckets/bags!Ja Ne!
