Naruto: Ninja Burger Chronicles
Scroll Fifteen, Part Two: The Author's Still Got Nothin'
By Kaori
Standing back to back to back in a traingle formation; Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba faced off against the group of enemy ninja surrounding them.
"Can you do that thing you did in the office again?" Kiba hissed to Naruto. The blonde shook his head.
"I don't even know what I did." he hissed back.
"So we're screwed?"
"Looks like it."
"Fuuuuu..." the expletive was cut off by the wall at Kiba's right exploding.
"YOSH! THE POWER OF YOUTH PREVAILS! I FOUND YOU FIRST MY COMRADES!"
"LEE!" chorused Naruto and Kiba.
"YES! IT IS I, ROCK LEE!" Lee went through a series of poses ending and then proceeded to Rider Kick everyone in the hallway.
"WHAT THE FUCK LEE!" Kiba and Naruto screamed in unison, jumping up from where they had been kicked into the wall to throttle their rescuer.
"Ah! Sorry! Sorry! I got carried away!" Lee apologized, bowing profusely. A sudden ominous feeling descended on those still conscious.
"Leeeeeee..." The three young men fearfully looked behind them to see a very ticked Hyuuga Neji cradling his poor, unconscious cousin. Kiba and Naruto frantically scrambled out of the way.
"Ah! Neji! I didn't mean to...GWAAAAGH!" Lee was Rider Kicked (1) into a nearby wall, much to the shock of the others.
"I have avenged you, Hinata." Neji stated. "As for you two, have you seen Shino? He was with you, right because I am not going to go on another ridiculous quest just to find him. I've had quite enough shenanigans for one night and my shift starts in three hours."
"We were looking for him ourselves. He was captured with us, but he escaped and left us to be tortured that bastard." growled Kiba.
"There's no need for name calling." a quiet voice said from behind them, causing them all to jump in surprise. It was Shino.
"Where the fuck have you been? Do you have any idea the kind of shit we've been through while you've been playing around?"
"Never mind about that now." Neji said, as he kicked Lee back to consciousness. "We need to get out of here so none of us face disciplinary action."
"No, we can't!" Naruto interjected and explained the current situation to Neji.
To say the other Konoha ninja were incensed at the news would be like saying Antarctica is a little nippy; a severe understatement. Shino reported that he'd been able to contact the franchise but it would be half an hour before anyone would be able to come assist them.
"We'll have to take care of this ourselves." Kakashi sighed. "Our best chance is to utterly destroy this place. Thankfully we already have a head start!" he shot a meaningful glance at Sakura.
"I hate you Kakashi-sachou..." she groused.
Meanwhile, in the bowels of Oto Franchise Orochimaru was fuming. His brilliant plan was falling apart around him and he had no one but himself to blame. Well, he supposed he could throw all the blame on the Third Franchise Manager since if he hadn't picked Namikaze Minato to succeed him he'd never have bothered trying a hostile takeover to begin with. Yes, that's what he would do, he would lay all the blame at the feet of his former manager. Now that he had that out of the way he could focus on rescuing his magnificent scheme from the fiasco it was becoming. The first order of business: kill those annoying Konoha infiltrators.
Completely oblivious to the Oto Franchise Manager's murderous intent, our heroes continued to decimate everything they came across as they rampaged through the building. They lay waste to the kitchen, destroyed the dispatch area, and defaced the full-length portrait of Orochimaru hanging in the foyer. For the heck of it they made prank phone calls to the overseas branches of Samurai Pizza. Because they were really feeling their oats they prank called Kakashi's landlord. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end...
They'd rounded a corner as a rowdy band, fully intending to utterly decimate the next room they entered when they were confronted by an extremely angry Orochimaru, an amused-looking Kabuto, Kimimaro, and the four teenagers that from earlier.
"You..." seethed Orochimaru. "You will not leave here alive! MINIONS! SEAL THIS CORRIDOR!"
Kidoumaru and Jiroubo leapt over the Konoha ninja to stand at the far end of the corridor behind while Tayuya and Sakon moved further back behind Orochimaru to stand at the other.
"SECRET ART: NO EAT AND RUN SEAL!" chorused the four. Two massive walls sprang up in front of the teenagers effectively blocking off the corridor at both ends, leaving the Konoha ninja at the mercy of Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Kimimaro.
"Ha! It's three versus thirteen!" boasted Kiba. "This fight is as good as ours." Sasuke gave an annoyed sigh. "What? Don't tell me you're scared?"
"You idiot. If we all fight in this tight space, Conservation of Ninjitsu (2) aside, we'd just get in each other's way. Not to mention if we're all in here that means there's no on e left to put an end to his hostile takeover." Shikamaru decided to explain.
"Then what are we supposed to do?"
"DIE!" roared Orochimaru as he and his two minions rushed forward.
Yeah, that's right. It's a cliffhanger! Don't worry, it'll return you to the action in a couple of weeks. MWUAHAHAHAHA!
1) Since Maito Gai is the kind of person that kicks people in greeting, I felt that he would naturally know how to do the Rider Kick and would teach it to his students.
2) Look it up on TV Tropes and be warned that the web site will ruin your life, it even has a page dedicated to all the lives it has already ruined.
