Sir Naruto, Shikamaru the shadow mage, Kiba the Grandmaster Beast Master, and Hinata the Monk (Hey look, the party itself takes up more than an entire line…) were walking down the road having an "engaging" conversation.

"I'm tired!" Hinata whined.

"I'm hungry!" Kiba whined.

"I'm bored!" Shikamaru whined (WAIT, HOLD THE PRESSES! Shikamaru whined!? :O [/sarcasm]).

"Will you guys shut up!? There's a ramen shop up the road ahead we can stop at…" Naruto said. They entered the building and got the usual greeting by the rather familiar face.

"Hey… Ayame was it?"

"Yes."

"Why are there one of these all over the place?"

"There is one for every city."

"But the first one I found was in a desert…"

"O RLY?"

"YA RLY!"

"O RL-"

"Can we just take our order now?" Shikamaru asked, butting in.

"Of course. So what'll it be?"

"We'll take…" Shikamaru suddenly starting pointing and counting out the math in his head, "7 of the usual."

"Coming right up!"

"Seven," Hinata asked, "But there are only four of us!"

"Two for me, two for Naruto, two for Kiba, one for you."

"Why only one for me?"

"Because, I assumed you would only count out the exact number of us, not take into account the various appetites, being as I am a shoji player."

"Uh… What?"

"He basically said because you're a girl."

"WHAT!? I bet I can eat just as much if not more than any boy here!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! I'll bet 20 gold!"

"Oh, you're so on."

"You're going to regret that bet…" Kiba whispered into Shikamaru's ear.

"Why?"

"Because she uses up a lot of energy when she uses her special move… Plus, she won the ramen eating contest back home."

"…………Oh." Hinata ordered 10 bowls of ramen and ate all of them. "I'll let you pay for it Shikamaru."

"…DOH!" Shikamaru handed over the money to Ayame, pouting all the while. Naruto stood up out of his seat and yawned.

"Well guys, let's get going!"

"Right!" The satisfied group left the ramen shop, and continued back on the trail.

Up ahead was a farm with what they assumed to be an old, gray haired man with a straw hat covering his face. (Hidan)

"Hey uh… I'm sorry Sir, but could we use your farm as a short cut?"

"Sure, sure. Go right on through."

"Thanks!" The group continued on from there, but they made an error. They didn't notice that the man was cutting grass with an odd looking scythe that had three blades. A smirk appeared upon his face. They were walking through a field of corn and eventually passed a scarecrow (Kakuzu). After they passed him, the scarecrow jumped down from its pole, and charged at the group.

"Woah!" They dodged the attack.

"Kakuzu, wait up!" Hidan appeared right beside the scarecrow.

"Next time you make me wait, I'll kill you."

"Don't give me that!" The farmer said. He shed his overalls to reveal a black cloak.

"It doesn't matter; let's just get this over with. Suddenly everything blurred, and everything around them was gone. They could only see the grass that was there before. Shikamaru realized what was going on, and use his jutsu on Naruto.

"HEY, what's the big idea?"

"Trust me; it's the only way we can win!"

"If you say so…" Suddenly, everything appeared pixilated.

"Naruto, use metal claw!" Naruto had the sudden urge to obey. He charged forward at Hidan.

"Hidan, use counter!" Naruto slashed with his sword at Hidan, but he dodged and slashed his Scythe at Naruto, but Naruto blocked it with his blade.

"Naruto, use whirlwind!" Naruto shifted his hands so that he was holding his sword with only one hand, and in the other a resengan came out. He hit Hidan with it, sending him flying back.

"Now Hidan, use brick break!" Hidan attempted to punch Naruto in the head, but it missed and simply bounced off of his armor. Fighting type moves are not affective against this type of fighter.

"Naruto, use bounce!" Naruto jumped up high!

"Hidan, use pin missile!" Hidan threw several senbon at Naruto. It missed!

Naruto came back down, and impacted on Hidan's head. Hidan had swirly eyes. Hidan is down! Trainer Shikamaru wins!

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Trainer Kakuzu ran away!

"Well. That was rather unorthodox, but I have to hand it to 'em. That was a pretty unexpected way of defeating them." The witch sighed, "HEY FOREHEAD, THEY WON AGAIN!"

'Well, sounds like witchy's back to her normal self…'

Hope you guys liked it!
