Summary: The shinobi of the Hidden Leaf take a much-deserved break a few months after Orochimaru's attack on their village. It all begins when Jiraya asks Naruto to join him and Tsunade for a trip to the beach. Something happens, and then suddenly everyone is on the trip as well. With transportation provided by Tsunade, and accommodations paid for by Jiraya, this is trip bound to be fun if not funny.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. It owns me.


Chapter 12 – Sea, Sand, and Shinobi

The group of shinobi has finally arrived at its destination. It was the perfect day to go to the beach. The sky was clear, with only small wisps of cloud so that the sky doesn't look boring. The sun was up, but it was not too hot. The sand too, was not hot enough to burn soles, and was as white as marble. The water was calm near the shore, and was not too cold, and there weren't too many people, even though it was a weekend.


"Everything seems to be going as planned," a certain someone thought.

"Wow! This is so cool!" Naruto said out loud.

"I've never seen a beach this beautiful!" Sakura added.

"Wow, more sand," Kankuro muttered sarcastically.

"Hey, I must admit that the sand here looks much better than that in our village," Temari said. "Right, Gaara?"

Gaara stood silent. He was staring at the beach with eyes sparkling like a three-year old who has never been in a sandbox before.


"Everyone listen!" Tsunade spoke up. "The area of the beach that I have requested to be reserved for our use is over there, near the green dressing stalls-"

"But that's on the opposite side of the nudist beach!" Jiraya interrupted.

"Shizune, ready the bandages." Tsunade ordered, but before she could lay a finger on Jiraya, he already made a mad dash towards their part of the beach.

"So where was I?" Tsunade faced the others, who looked rather scared of her. "Ah, yes. Supplies that I have rented will be brought over there in a few minutes or so. I want you guys to set up our sleeping and cooking areas when the supplies arrive. Until everything is set up, no one should go swimming yet."

"Awwwww," Naruto and some of the others were disappointed.

"I also need some people to go with me and Shizune to the market to buy food for our barbecued lunch. Those who are interested stay here. The others can head out to our area."

Jiraya suddenly passed by in front of Tsunade. He must have realized that he was heading towards the opposite direction of the nudist beach and turned back.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Tsunade said, obviously irritated.


Tenten agreed to come along, as well as Kurenai and Hinata. Surprisingly, Temari also volunteered. Anko, as the Hokage's assigned bodyguard was required to join them, but she managed to drag Iruka along.

"Ino," Asuma said. "Why don't you go along with them? You know, fighting isn't the only thing kunoichi should be good at. They should also be good in household chores in case they go undercover as housewives."

"I know that Asuma-sensei," Ino said trying to look as pleasing as she can. "But can't I stay here and help out setting up the tents."

"But I strongly suggest that you go," Asuma said with a I'm-your-sensei-and-you-should-obey-me look.

"B-but how come Sakura isn't being told by Kakashi to go with Hokage-sama?"

"Oh, I get it. Don't worry I won't let her get Sasuke-kun while you're gone."

"But-"

"Quickly, before they leave for the market."

"Do you really think I should go?" Ino said in a cute but evil voice. She reached for her bag and showed Asuma part of the picture Tenten got in the bus.

"Wha- When did you get that?"

"I said, do you really think I should go?" Ino said, winking at Asuma.

"You decide where you want to help out." Asuma murmured.

"Oh thank you so much Asuma-sensei!" Ino said aloud. "You're so kind. Could you please help me carry my bags?"

"But I'm already carrying Kurenai's and Tsunade-sama's baggage!" Asuma complained.

"Please?" Ino said while showing Asuma part of the picture again.

Chouji and Shikamaru were laughing.

"I'll get you for this Ino," Asuma thought.


Tsunade, Shizune, with Ton-Ton of course, Kurenai, Hinata, Temari, Tenten, Anko, and Iruka went off to the market leaving their baggage for the others to carry to their campsite.

The others went to their camp and arrived there just in time for the delivery.

And on the opposite side of the beach, Jiraya lies unconscious, shortly after finding out that he actually entered a gay nudist beach.


Kakashi was just about finished counting the supplies shortly after the delivery truck left. "Barbecue grills. Check. Pots, pans, and other cooking materials. Check. Firewood. Check. Tents. Check. Pillows. Check. Portable toilets. Check. Last but not the least, B- Wait! We're missing something!"
