Chapter 10: Target Shikamaru!

Author's Note: Sorry about updating so slowly, but it's summer and authors tend to get lazy during the summer! Therefore, please bear with my laziness. It is this that has inspired me to use Shikamaru as my target of the chapter, since he is the one Naruto character that understands me the most at the moment! Well, on with the story.

Important: I'm running out of ideas, please review your ideas to me!

Please Review!

And Enjoy!

Naruto was bored, very bored. Not only was the fact that they were just waiting for the other examinees to arrive at the tower, Ramen-Chan has refused to talk to him let alone give him Ramen toppings. It's all Sakura's fault; Ramen-Chan was ever insulted when she was told when it was a pink-haired girl that has attempted to transform into her. Naruto spent hours sulking, refusing to talk or eat. Not even Itachi's of a scroll with deadly Jutsus (Though Naruto still accepted it), Kakashi's gift of Icha Icha Paradise Volume 1 Limited Edition and Sasuke's suggestion of burning Kakashi's porno books could help cheer him up.

Naruto hugged his knees and cried, "Ramen-Chan, come back!"

"Naruto-baka, stop sulking over an imaginary character!" A shrill scream cut through Naruto's sobs. Naruto looked up to see the same ugly pinkette that has been haunting his, and now Ramen-Chan's lives.

"But, Ramen-Chan (hiccup) is crying right (hiccup) now! And her (hiccup) is cutting through my innocent heart (hiccup), making me feel sad!"

"OH NARUTO-KUN! YOUR CRIES HAVE REACHED TOO THE HEARTS OF THE GREEN BEASTS OF KIONOHA! I, ROCK LEE AND GAI-SENSEI CRY FOR YOU, YO-O-OSH!" Naruto didn't even need to look, he already knew who the speaker was.

"NARUTO-KUN! YOU MUSTN'T LET YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH FLICKER! YOUR YOUTHFUL FLAME MUST LIVE THROUGH THIS, THROUGH RAIN, SNOW AND UGLY FOREHEAD LIGHTENING!" Gai continued his (very) youthful student's speech, as Lee is unable to finish due to his sobs about how Naruto's sadness has affected him too. "LEE! YOU MUSN'T CRY, REMAIN STRONG FOR THE HONOUR OF KONOHA'S GREEN BEASTS!"

"YES GAI-SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

"GAI-SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

And we all know what's going to happen…

"How troublesome…" Shikamaru sighed. "You're obviously going to continue sulking until somehow, the ramen that was lost is replace aren't you?"

Naruto nodded.

"And you're crying to gain attention, hoping that some idiot's going to pity you enough to treat you to an all-you-can-eat ramen buffet."

Naruto nodded.

"How troublesome…"

Naruto thought for a moment. "Shika-kun?"

"No."

"Shika-kun?

"No."

……

……….

"You've left me no choice, Shika-kun. I never thought that the day would come for me to use such a devastating strategy on you, but you're just asking for it. Kawaii no Jutsu!" In a poof, the legendary Chibi god Naruto appeared and started crying. "Shika-kun is so-o-o mean to me!"

"How troublesome, using Chibi-mode to make me seem like some bully. Then, people will pity you and turn towards me with hateful eyes until I figure out a way to cheer you up, such as a ramen feast. There's no way out of this, you're sly Naruto, sly just like the fox."

"OH SHIKAMARU, HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING IN ATTEMPTS TO DAMPEN NARUTO'S YOUTH FLAME? THIS GREEN BEAST IS SO DISAPPOINTED! PLEASE, FIGURE OUT A WAY TO STOP THIS CHIBI'S SOBS!" Rock Lee and Gai cried and hugged each other.

Shikamaru looked over to this Uchiha. " This is your fault, all your fault! Uchihas are so damn troublesome!"

Sasuke shrugged, "Naruto can't help me perfect Kawaii no Jutsu if he's sulking you know."

"You treat him."

"Do I look crazy?"

"You're richer."

"You're the one in trouble."

"You dug this hole."

"You're the one in it."

"You too are sly, Uchiha, very sly."

"Shika-kun? To Ichiraku's Ramen?" Shikamaru looked down to see a pair of large cerulean eyes, and fell immediately to Naruto's trap.

"This is damn troublesome. Curses."

As Shikamaru mourned the loss of his money, a certain author is about to make her ending note.

And here it is:
