In which a pair of ambiguously psychotic snipers engage in the greatest duel known to thirteen-year-old nutjobs. There is much on the line: pride, friendship, even life itself.

This story takes place right after The Last Naruto Movie and before the Shikamaru novel. The movie demonstrated that Naruto SHOULD love Hinata but not really WHY. This story centers around Naruto's quest for the perfect birthday present for Hinata. However this present is more than what it seems. It leads them on quite the mission. Pairings are Naru/Hina, Choj/Karu, Saka/Sasu (?)
