I am back! I haven't been able to write as much since I found my old zelda: a link to the past game, I've been running 4 days a week and Karate 3 days, so I am busy. I didn't do much describing since I'm not good with party's, so leave it up to the imagination. And now...
I don't own Naruto, but I do own 6 gaming systems, including a game boy. It is blue;)

Birthday!
When Team 7 got back to Konoha, Naruto made a beeline for Ichiraku's ramen stand. Kakashi rushed off to the book store to check for the next volume of his beloved Icha Icha. Sakura and Sasuke rushed to the shopping district to look for a birthday present for Naruto, separately of course. All that was left was for Liz and Gen to deliver invitations and set up for the party. The two rushed off, with Liz on decoration and Gen delivering the invitations.
With Gen, he was rushing to find everyone on the rather extensive list of guests. 'Let's see, I need to find Ibiki, Anko, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Asuma, Shino, Hinata, Kiba, and Kurenai. Dang.' Starting at the top of the list, Gen checked the time, saw it was 8:20, and rushed to the dango stand where Anko and Ibiki have their breakfast. When he got there, he kissed Anko on the cheek as a hello, and handed the two invitations with the strict instructions to be there around 15 minutes early so they could help pick everyone up. With that, Gen rushed to the Inuzuka kennels. Scanning the area, he saw Kiba's older sister and asked "Hey, do you know where Kiba and his team are around this time?"
"They're usually at training ground 9 at this time, why?"
Thanking her, Gen rushed to the training grounds without answering her questions. Roof hopping to the training ground, he handed out invitations. It continued like this for about 1 hour, with the only hitch being that he couldn't find Asuma's team since they didn't train much. Rushing back home, Gen collapsed on their couch. "Why, oh, why do ninjas have to be so hard to find?"
Liz was in the shopping district of Konoha looking for as many party decorations she could carry, which appeared to be quite a lot. 'Alright, so here comes the mental checklist. Paper lanterns, chips, cookies, cake, soda, sake, ice, streamers, balloons, banners, plates, cups, forks, knives, spoons, new outfits, and Naruto-kun's present. WHY?' With that, Liz charged into the nearest party store. Walking in, she examined the party supplies section. Deciding on the orange plates, forks, and knives, and the blue cups, napkins and spoons, Liz headed off to the streamers section. Looking around, she finally picked up 6 rolls of black, orange, green, blue, and white streamers. Afterwords, she picked up around 2 dozen red paper lanterns with the kanji for power and 2 dozen orange paper lanterns with the kanji for happiness. Finally, Liz lugged all of her items to the counter and asked for balloons in orange, red, blue, green, white, and black, two dozen each. The shopkeeper seemed astounded at the amount, but got her all of them. "Oh yeah, and can you also get me an orange banner with the words 'Happy 13th Birthday?" Nodding, he ringed up her purchase. Taking out a red leather wallet with a white tiger on it, she handed him the proper amount of money before taking all of the bags and sealing them. Liz then took all of the balloons and sealed them separately, each one ordered by color.
Exiting the rather large store, Liz walked down the street, looking for a bakery. Once she spotted a place that would be able to get her a cake quickly, she walked in, slightly surprised when a bell on the door chimed. Immediatly, a middle aged man rushed over to her, asking her what she would need. "Um, I need a really big cake and a heck of a lot of cookies by 4:00 p.m. Do you have anything pre-made?"
"Of course! If it's for a large party, come into the back room. I have much more there."
Nodding, Liz followed the old baker behind the counter into an adjacent room. "There's going to be around 16 people there, and most of them are 13 year olds, so I'll need a double layer cake, preferably one layer chocolate and the other mint ice cream, and around 6 dozen chocolate chip cookies. For the cake, I need you to write, in blue icing, 'Happy Birthday Naruto!' Also, can the top layer be orange with blue lacing the edge, and the bottom layer be blue with orange lacing? Finally, can you have sugar shuriken outlining the top's circumference?" Nodding and slightly excited at the prospect of a challenge, he took off, while shouting behind his back that the order would be done around 1:00 p.m. With that, Liz left the warm bakery, and headed off to the nearest grocery store. When she got there, Liz wheeled out a cart and charged to the snack section. There, she got 2 bags of Lays, and 2 bags of Doritos. Afterwords, she carted down the aisle and got 2 boxes of Coke, , and Sprite. Putting those at the bottom of the cart, Liz headed off to the frozen section and got 2 bags of ice. Finally, she got around 5 cases of sake, and wheeled to the check out. Paying for everything, Liz sealed everything up and shushined home to put everything away.
"Gen, I need the ice chests! Also, what size clothes do you wear?" Gen walked over to Liz and handed her the ice chests and filled them with ice while telling her what size clothes to buy. While they unpacked, Liz calmed down, and handed Gen the party seals for safe keeping. Liz headed out, after telling Gen to work on the present.
Later, at 5:00p.m., a large crowd was gathered in front of the twin's apartment, which consisted of teams 7, 9, and 10. Everyone slowly filed in, surprised when the only thing there was a note saying that all they had to do was pour a bit of chakra into the slips of paper included in their invitations. When they did that, Liz, Gen, Ibiki, and Anko popped in, with Ibiki instructing them on what they had to do. Liz was wearing a sleeveless black chinese shirt with silver lining and buttons, her summoning tattoo clearly visible, jaws opened and it's body in a crouched position, as if about to leap. She had silver cargo pants tucked into her usual combat boots. The outfit was finished with a dark red choker and red ninja tape wrapping around her hands and reaching up to her elbows. Gen had on a white sleeveless chinese shirt with silver lining and buttons, with his emerald dragon tattoo curling around his upper bicep, frozen in a snarling pose, like it was about to go in for the kill. He had silver cargo pants matching Liz's, and he retained his combat boots. Finally, he had a dark blue choker and blue ninja tape wrapped in the same way that Liz's was. "Alright, so everyone who has the number 1 goes to Liz, 2 with Gen, 3 with me, and 4 with Anko." With that, Kiba, Sasuke, and Hinata walked over to Liz and grabbed onto her, with Kiba and Sasuke a bit too enthusiastic. Ino, Shino, and Kurenai walked over to Gen and held onto his arms, with Ino reveling in his muscles. Kakashi, Choji, and Sakura walked over to Ibiki, with the genin somewhat frightened of the man, leaving Anko with Shikamaru, Naruto, and Asuma. Everyone counted to three and there was a massive poof of smoke, with everyone disappearing.
When everyone regained their senses, they gaped at the huge mansion in front of them. It was made completely out of wood and bricks, but looked wonderful all the same. The outside seemed basic, but when everyone filed into the mansion, they gaped at the ornate decorations that filled the house. Streamers filled the house, all in different colors. The training room had been transformed into a dance room, complete with a disco ball and balloons reflecting the light in different colors. The dining room was filled with snacks, and an ornate cake stood proudly on a pedestal in the middle of the table, tempting everyone. Next to it was a wooden table that had one large rectangular box on it, and two small boxes near them. "Alright guys, here's where the presents go, and we WILL know if you didn't bring one. As you know, those who didn't get one shall go in the Corner of Shame and Eternal Disappointment, right over there!" Gen and Liz said while pointing to a surprisingly depressing corner with an old wooden sign over it saying 'Corner of Shame and Eternal Disappointment', complete with cobwebs, eerie music, and a chilling wind that seemed to blow only at the corner. Everyone sweat dropped and though simultaneously 'I thought they were kidding!' "Now, line up, and we'll take your presents so you can have a party!" With that, the twins put the presents away, and seemed slightly put out at the fact that no one had to sit in the corner.
When the twins finished unloading the presents, everyone headed to the dance floor. Gen took out his I-pod with a black case that had a light blue dragon on it, and plugged it into the stereo. Immediatly, 'When I'm Gone' by 3 Doors Done started playing. They all danced for hours, with a few brave souls asking for Liz and Gen to play something while they sang karaoke. Such people were Ino, Asuma, Anko, and surprisingly, Shikamaru. Around 8:15, Asuma and Kurenai decided that everyone should play Truth or Dare. They all gathered around the black and white circular rug and sat down, with Asuma putting his arm around Kurenai, Gen holding Anko while she cuddled his shoulder, and Liz sleeping on Ibiki's lap. Gen, who was sitting next to Kakashi, said "I'll get us started, and we'll spin a bottle to decide who has to go." With that, Gen picked up an empty sake bottle and spun it, until it stopped, with the top pointing at Kakashi. "So, truth or dare, Kakashi?" Gen asked while snickering. Oh, this would be good.
"Mmmm… Dare." Kakashi responded, while thinking that truth was an option for sissies.
"Hehehe, well then, I dare you to wake up Liz by telling her that Michael Jackson is the worst singer to ever exist." Kakashi paled considerably. Not only was waking Liz up in the middle of a nap a one way ticket to his face being torn to shreds, but she was a HUGE Michael Jackson fan. 'Gen, you truly are evil. I have taught you well.'
With that, Kakashi carefully walked over to the sleeping girl, and shook her shoulder. Shivering from the glare that screamed 'If you did that without a good reason, I will kill you slowly', Kakashi shouted "Michael Jackson is the worst singer ever! I hate him!" Liz's eyes grew huge, and flames were burning behind her. With that, Kakashi ran for his life, while Liz chased after him, screaming bloody murder. Fifteen minutes later, Kakashi limped in, blood running down his face, while Ibiki carried Liz in under his arm while she held onto a bloody kunai. Sitting down, Liz leaned against Ibiki while Kakashi stretched out to spin the bottle. It landed on Asuma, who was smoking again. "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare, it'll be funny." Asuma replied. Besides, he wouldn't have to do anything as bad as Kakashi's dare.
"No smoking for the rest of the game." Kakashi told him, while grinning evilly. Oh, this WAS a fun game! Asuma gaped, sadly took the cigarette out of his mouth, and put it out. Afterwords, he ended up asking Sakura truth or dare.
"Truth!" Sakura said forcefully. The dares were crazy! There was no way that she was getting caught up in something stupid.
"Shoot. Um… Is it true that you have an inner voice that's pretty… aggressive?" Asuma asked while everyone booed at the lame question. Bashfully, Sakura nodded, silently grateful that she didn't have to do anything major. The game continued for a good hour, with there hardly any good dares that didn't involve potential self injury. Kakashi ended up with multiple scratches, and possibly a broken thumb, Anko was twitching due to sake deprivation, Liz was constantly having to be restrained from killing someone by Ibiki (The Michael Jackson dare was very popular when revenge was necessary) and most of the genin were hiding behind the couch fearfully. 'Why did we agree to play? WHY!' All of the genin thought collectively.
When it was over, everyone finished off the cake and cookies, and Naruto finally got to open his presents. Starting with a small box that had orange wrapping and a card that said 'From Sakura Haruno', Naruto opened it to see an expensive black wrist watch. "Thank you, Sakura!" With that, he moved onto Ibiki's present. Picking it up, he found a book filled to the brim with different torture methods. Ibiki smiled and wished a happy birthday to him. It continued on like this, with Anko giving him a new kunai set, Sasuke a book on forging and up keeping weapons, Choji with 10 coupons to Ichiraku's ramen, Shikamaru got him a new shogi board, and Kurenai with a scroll on low level genjutsu. Ino got him a hibiscus with orange flowers, Kakashi a team 7 photo and Hinata with a few jars of salve. Shino gave him a book on poisonous plants, Asuma a wind chakra blade, and Kiba gave him a dog tooth neckless. All that was left were the twins. "Naruto, here ya go!" With that, the two handed him a large, rectangular box. Opening it, he saw a large, blank scroll with a brown string keeping it tied together. All of the jonins gasped, while Naruto just stared at the twins blankly. "It's a summoning scroll Gen and I made! The summon is… falcons!" Naruto gasped, and the twins instructed him on how to sign it. Once done, he did Kuchiyose no Jutsu. Immediatly, a small gray bird showed up in a poof of smoke.
The falcon jumped onto Naruto's shoulder and nuzzled him with it's beak while saying "Thank you SO much for summoning me! This is the first time anyone got our contract, and I'm the first one summoned! Anyway, my name's Ishi, and I'll go tell the boss!" With that, the rather excitable Ishi disappeared, leaving everyone gaping.
"Alright guys, thanks for coming, we'll take you back to our apartment so you can go home, and stay with the group you were in before!" Afterwords, everyone teleported to the twin's apartment. Naruto waved everyone off, and when the only people who were left were him, the twins, Anko, and Ibiki, everyone grew solum. "Okay, so we'll take Naruto-kun to his apartment to pick up anything he needs, and Anko and Ibiki can provide backup. Everyone alright with this plan?" the twins chorused, while everyone nodded.
Quickly, they all rushed out the door and sped off towards Naruto's apartment, taking the least travelled path to avoid the celebrating and sometimes drunk villagers. When they got there, Naruto quickly unlocked the door and had the twin seal up everything valuable. When he was done, they apartment seemed to have been ransacked, but just in case, Liz and Anko were going to stay on a rooftop nearby to make sure no one broke in. Immediatly, Naruto, Ibiki, and Gen shushined back to the house in the woods. While Ibiki and Gen spent time taking down the decorations, Naruto walked up the stairs to his room. Inside was a dark green room that had his presents stacked up against one wall. There was a giant black bed in the center, where Naruto collapsed, falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Gen slowly poked his head in through the door, smiled, and said "Good night, Naruto-kun." With that, he summoned a small yellowish green dragon to guard the door, and walked out, happy that Naruto's birthday was finally a success.
I'm done! This chapter was shorter, but I'm going to start working on the Chunnin exams right away, so I might update somewhere between a few days to a little over a week, since this is going to take a LONG while. Y'all know the drill by now, I live off of reviews, flames will only end with more pain, and here is the random sentence of the day. "I don't suffer from insanity. You suffer from my insanity. I, however, enjoy every single minute of it." This is true.
