Christmas Special

Christmas Carolers

Part I: The Idea

It was Decmber 1st, and Team Kakashi was training in the cold training area.

" Jingle bells, Sasuke-teme smells, Pervy Sage laid an egg!"

You can guess who this is.

" WHAAA!!! I MISS SASUKE!"

You can guess who THIS is!

" And Rudolph said to Santa,' Sorry, Santa, I'm having a baby.'"

You could also guess who THIS is! But can you guess who this is!?

" (burps)"

HUH!? Anyway, it was December 1st, and Team Kakashi was training in the training area. But then, the Hokage came.

" All right, listen up, rouge Eskinos!"

Looks like she had a little too much eggnog on the way over.

FLASHBACK

Tsunade was at Ichiraku's chugging a keg full of eggnog. Her 13th one.

" Lady Tsunade, shouldn't you be hurrying over to tell Team Kakashi about the 'thing'?" asked Sizune.

" Not yet, Santa!" yelled the Hokage, " I still have 12 more kegs to go before I have enough eggnog to survive the Apocalypse!"

" What Apocalypse?"

Tsunade sighed," The Christmas Caroling Missions."

END FLASHBACK

Team Kakashi stopped what they were doing and looked at the drunk Hokage.

" You guys know Christmas is in 25 days, right?" slurred out Tsunade.

" Are you all right, Hokage-sama?" asked Kakashi, " You look like Grandma after she got run over by that reindeer."

" I'M ALL RIGHT!!!"

Team Kakashi suddenly shrank at the tone of her voice.

" I'll get to the point. I did a poll in the village and it shows that 67 of the village enjoys listening to Christmas carols."

" So, baa-chan?"

" So, they're each paying $5 a day, $1 a carol, and $25 for the subscription for carolers!"

" HUH?" By this time, they were all puzzled.

" It MEANS you guys are my new Christmas carolers!"

" WHAT!!!???"

" But, Lady Tsunade, we can't sing!" yelled Sakura, turning chibi frantic.

" Of course you can!" yelled Tsunade," All you need is strength, trust, and pixie dust! But I don't have any pixie dust so I'll just throw this powder grinded from the bones of the 2nd Hokage onto you."

She began sprinkling white powder on them, causing them to choke and gag.

" Now go out there and make me some money!"

DAY 1

" Man, this stinks!" shouted Naruto, " We have to get up at 7am every day and sing some dum song to somebody!"

" It's not so bad." reassured Sakura," I think that bone dust is working! I'll try the first house and you collect the money."

She went up and knocked the door. It was Shikamaru.

" What do you want?" he asked.

Sakura then sang the first song on the list:

Jingle bells, jingle bells

jingle all the way

SLAM!

Shikamaru slammed the door in Sakura's face.

" So, where's the cash?" asked Naruto.

" I stunk."

" Maybe you ought to spice things up! Like this!"

Naruto ran and banged through the door.

" What the ?" said Shika as the music started:

Jingle bells

Yo mamma smells

And yo dadda laid an egg!

Seven more Narutos popped up, playing different instruments to a jazzy, Yultide beat.

And oh, what fun

To stop the dubs

put on us in the USA

Hey!

" That does sound fun." mumbled Shikamaru, " But I'm not giving you any money for this stupid carol!"

But the beat changed to a more sensitive one

Silent night

Bloody night

All is wrong

All's not right

Round yon ninja

Jo- and chunin

They're fighting for peace

For only $6 a pop

Shika's eyes began to water. He pushed Naruto out the door and shoved $6 in the jar.

" That's for my auntie!" he sobbed out through the door.

" Piece of cake, Sakura-chan!" Naruto crinkled the money in his hands until it was taken away by Shizune.

" Nice work, Naruto!" she said, " How about you take the rest of the day off?"

" No way, Jose!" he yelled, " This is starting to get fun!"
