INT-Mushroom Hotel-Bathroom-Night

(Close up shot of Naruto's bathroom until we cut to the inside where he's taking a shower.)

(We then cut to the inside of the shower with a pan up to Naruto's upper body.)

(We see small cuts and marks around his back and front of his torso, including the gunshot wound he received from Deadshot which is now healed.)

(Naruto finishes up by rinsing off the soap on his hair and turns off the water.)

Moments later…

(In the next scene, Naruto is now dressed in a black tank top and shorts; he then wipes the misty mirror in front of him to get a good look at his face.)

(Naruto stares at himself in front of the mirror, not looking too happy and lets out a sigh.)

(As Naruto exits the bathroom, Drake gets out of his bed looking mighty relieved that Naruto's out of the shower.)

Drake: About time, hope you saved me enough hot water.

Naruto: Yeah, it was still hot when I turned it off.

Naruto: Where's Sakura and Tails?

Drake: I told Sakura they have a workout and arcade room downstairs.

Drake: Being the competitive school girl she is Little Miss rushed downstairs like it was Black Friday sale.

Naruto: (Confused) Black Friday?

Drake: Yesh...no Black Friday in your world either?

(Drake thinks of a way to simply describe Black Friday so that Naruto can understand.)

Drake: Uh… (Snaps fingers) low sales on merchandise!

Drake: It's a holiday that cycles through every once a year and the shoppers go insane and storms every store in sight like an angry mob fighting over who gets what, especially plasma screen TVs.

Naruto: Oh, I see!

(Naruto's lying, he still doesn't get it.)

Drake: I told Tails to follow her in case she makes a scene and get us kicked out for the 5th time.

Naruto: Okay, I'm gonna go check on them.

(As Naruto turns around preparing to leave, Drake spots the gunshot mark on him.)

Drake: Hey, Narts.

Naruto: Huh?

Drake: You okay?

Naruto: Yeah, I'm fine.

Drake: K, just checkin'.

Drake: Also, you kids don't stay up too late; we gotta be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow for work first thing in the morning.

Naruto: Heh, now you're starting to talk like an old man.

(Drake is taken aback by Naruto's comment.)

Drake: Just let them know.

Naruto: All right.

(Naruto exits the room.)

Drake: I can't wait to start having separate rooms.

(Drake walks into the bathroom, as soon as he enters; we hear a yell of him slipping on the floor.)

Drake: (Off-screen) GAH!

(After the cutscene ends, the player controls Naruto walking in the hallway.)

Naruto: I wonder where the workout room is.

(Naruto walks to a dead-end at the end of the hallway, but turns around automatically.)

Naruto: Nope, can't go that way.

(Naruto walks to a dead-end at the end of the hallway, but turns around automatically.)

Naruto: Nope, can't go that way.

(Naruto walks to a dead-end at the end of the hallway, but turns around automatically.)

Naruto: Nope, can't go that way.

(Naruto walks to a dead-end at the end of the hallway, but turns around automatically.)

Naruto: Nope, can't go that way.

Note: We've all done this before in a game, you know what I'm doing. lol

(After an annoying amount of time trolling the readers, the silly player opens up the map on screen and controls Naruto to go the correct way.)

Workout Room

(Naruto enters the workout room and spots Sakura using a leg-press.)

(Naruto is quite fascinated by all the workout machinery around him, never seeing anything like it.)

(Sakura is pressing 110 pounds of weights, she's struggling a little bit, but slowly getting used to it without breaking a sweat...at the moment.)

Sakura: (Struggling) Hey, here to join me?

Naruto: Maybe later, I'm getting tired…

Naruto: But let's do it tomorrow, I never saw training equipment like this before.

Sakura: When you do, you should try out all of them, they're guaranteed to burn a lot of fat off.

Sakura: I'm trying to lose some thigh meat so my kicks can be faster, like my friend Chun Li, her kicks are lighting fast.

(Naruto checks out Sakura's thighs for a second with sweat running down them.)

Naruto: (Blushing) They...uh, they look fine to me.

Sakura: Huh?

Naruto: I said where's Tails?

Sakura: Oh, he's outside testing out his emblem or whatever it is.

Sakura: Hey wait, can you take that pin and put it into one of those holes for me?

Sakura: Put it on...150.

(Naruto removes the pin and inserts it in-

Sakura: (Frantic) No, 170,170!

(Naruto insert-

Sakura: No, 210!

Naruto: (Annoyed) Are you sure?

Sakura: (Giggles) Yes, that's my final answer.

Narrator: Good, now stop cutting me off...jeezus...OK, as I was saying, Naruto inserts the pin in 210.

(Now Sakura is starting to break a sweat but doesn't regret it given how competitive she can be sometimes.)

Sakura: Thanks, and don't go leaving without me again.

(Naruto is slightly puzzled as to what Sakura means since she's not being specific, but Naruto just goes with it.)

(In case anyone else is puzzled, Sakura's referring to the time Naruto ditched her and Tails at the diner to pursue Drake.)

Naruto: (Wry) Heh, okay…

Naruto: And be ready tomorrow, I bet I can go through more weights than you!

Sakura: HA-HA! In your dreams, and after I beat you it's to the arcade!

(Naruto and Sakura have an overdramatic stare down.)

(Naruto flexes and shows off his small muscles.)

Naruto: You're on!

(While all of this is going on, the small group of men and 1 woman present are mighty confused as to what the hell is going on right now.)

(As Naruto takes his leave by ninja running outside, we cut to Sakura looking at him from afar with a smile on her face.)

(Small chuckles are heard in the background from the group after witnessing the silly Naruto Run...Though I wouldn't call it silly since one ninja was able to storm Area 51 and lived to tell about it.)

Sakura: (Blushing) …

*Flashback from Level 29*

Ibuki: Your new friends are a fun bunch, Naruto's surprisingly a nice guy, he reminds me of you.

Sakura: Me?

(Sakura thinks about it for a second, but doesn't see it.)

Sakura: I don't see it, other than the fact that we like to fight.

*FLASH*

(As we cut back to Sakura, she's starting to realize that maybe they have more in common than she thought.)
