Clowning Around
Written by: Self-Proclaimed KingofDDR
Summary: What if Naruto revealed a style of fighting not seen since his mother, Uzumaki Kushina, perished? After all, he's called the number-one COMEDY Ninja for a reason...Naruto Harem. Because women love funny men.
Hey all! Sorry that I haven't gotten the next chapter out by now. I wanted to make it up to you with this preview of a scene from the next chapter. Hope you enjoy!
The hot springs. A perfect place for people to relax. A perfect place for people to forget all of their troubles. A perfect place to just set your mind free, and bask in the warmth.
And a perfect place...for murder.
At least, if you were a girl by the name Tenten.
The weapons mistress (decked in all black so she could move through the darkness of the night, complete with black cloth covering her entire face except for her eyes) had followed Naruto to this spot, taking great care to not be detected.
The blond had went this way along with his sensei, Hatake Kakashi. Tenten knew of him because her own sensei wouldn't shut up about him. Seriously, Tenten thought that all of her teammates were freaks at times. And that Gai harbored a not-so-secret man-crush on the Copy-nin.
Well...Neji, besides herself, was the most normal person on the team. But he was also an emotion-free bastard, so she didn't really count him.
"Hmmm...If my tracking skills are correct, then Naruto must have went into the Hot Springs. ...Perfect," Tenten said with a catlike grin. "The steam will make it even harder for him to detect my presence. And by the time he does...it'll be too late."
She raised up a giant katana, and watched it gleam. How it did so with no sunlight out to speak of, was a mystery.
"Just you wait, Naruto. You will pay the ultimate price for unleashing that...thing on the world...and through Lee, for good measure! He He He He He..."
As she rushed into the springs, she failed to notice that Kakashi himself was right behind her. The Copy Nin shook his head.
"That girl is so stressed...then again, anyone would be stressed if they had to be around Gai for more than 5 minutes. Hmmm...maybe she just needs to get laid."
Naruto himself was currently resting within the comfort of the Hot Spring, thinking back on eariler times.
'That man...he called himself Luther. ...How could someone like him be my inner-half?'
He remembered the words that the smart, yet uncaring man, said after he had...deleted Haku.
'That young boy was no match for me. He had reached his limit, and couldn't produce the results needed for him to win. Therefore, his role as a tool to Zabuza was obsolete...and nothing fills me with greater pleasure than the deletion of obsolete fools...'
Naruto cluched his eyes tight. It was bad enough that Haku had to die by his hand thanks to his inner, but it was even worse that there was no body left afterwards. When Luther had...deleted Haku, the femmine boy's body had fallen apart...piece by piece...and then it vanished.
'Ever since then, after learning of my real family thanks to Kakashi-sensei, I've been training in the art of Comedy Combat, in the hopes that I could one day control this inner half of me...no matter how evil someone is, they don''t deserve to die...like Haku died.'
Unknown to him, Tenten was right above the wall that overlooked the spring. She was glaring down at Naruto from the top.
'At last...time to meet the unpopular end of my sword, Naruto...' Tenten growled inside of her mind.
But before she could strike, some unknown force gave her a hard shove from behind. With a little yelp, she landed face-first into the spring.
Of course, the sound startled Naruto, and he quickly stood up, just about the same time that Tenten brought her head back above water.
"Cough, Cough...what the hell shoved me?" Tenten coughed as she rubbed her eyes. Once she felt that she could see, the first thing she laid her eyes on was Naruto...without a towel on. And she was only on her knees, so try to guess what she saw first.
"..." Went Naruto.
"..." Went an extremely red Tenten.
"...Are you a pervert?" Naruto asked innocently.
"..." Tenten's face went even redder. But this time, it was with angernot embarrassment. "What I am does not matter," she said, making her voice sound more mature so that Naruto would not reconise her. She rose her Katana up high, said sword gleaming once again. "The only thing that matters is that you are about to die. So hold still, and let me slice up your sexy little body."
"...My WHAT body?" Naruto said, not sure he heard right.
"...Shut up and BLEED!" Tenten shouted, as she began to chase Naruto around the spring.
Kakashi was watching this with a smile on his face from on top of the wall.
'Haha...if you survive this, then you can thank me later, Naruto.'
