Naruto Primer: All
Dancing
"Now for the final event!" said Kakashi. "Unsurprisingly enough, each team has won one event so whoever wins this one wins it all. Now, only two people can be in this final event so that means, whoever hasn't sat out yet will sit out for this one."
"Okay, so that means it's just you and me, Sakura!" said Naruto.
"I knew this was going to come sooner or later…" Sakura sighed. "Why did I have to waste my pair with Sasuke on the cooking contest? We didn't get to hang out at all!"
Sasuke knew that his team would lose without him.
Keep in mind that he's feeling superior right now so he failed to remember the other three events that they had lost even though he was there.
"So…good luck you guys." Said Shikamaru to Ino and Chouji.
"Shikamaru…" Ino said, looking very, very annoyed. "You MUST be in this event because you have already sat out one!"
"Do you think they'll notice if I sit out again?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yes." Said Ino. "But maybe if you're lucky, you won't have to do anything so you won't have to change your pace at ALL!"
"I did something in the brain challenge." Shikamaru pointed out. "I did almost everything in that one."
"I'm glad to finally sit out…" sighed Chouji. "I'm tired…"
"You think YOU'RE tired?" said Shikamaru, sounding exasperated. "Just think of how I feel!"
Ino and Chouji stared at Shikamaru. "…Why?" they said at the same time.
Shikamaru sighed. "How troublesome…" he said.
The Neji, Lee, Tenten group was experiencing a group break down at the moment.
"I can't believe you guys BOUGHT a cake." Neji said, shaking his head.
"I can't believe you can't tell the difference between your left and right." Tenten said.
"Yeah!" said Lee. "Go team!! Come on, Neji! It's you and me now!!"
"A minute ago you couldn't wait to get rid of me." Neji reminded him.
"That's only because we didn't want you to find out that we bought a cake." Tenten said.
"Ooh…" said Neji. "Well, I guess I feel a little better then. I thought you just were mad at me for screwing up the three-legged race."
"We are, but that's not the reason why we were shunning you." Tenten said.
"Yeah Neji!!" said Lee. "Yeah! We're gonna win!! YEAH!!"
Hinata, Kiba and Shino were also senselessly discussing the fact that Shino would be sitting out during the event since he hadn't sat out yet.
"Well, I guess you and me and Akamaru will be doing the next one, Hinata." Kiba said.
"Yeah!" said Hinata. "I wonder what it'll be!"
"Hm…maybe they'll need us to do some kind of survival training…" Kiba said, scratching his chin.
"So!" said Kakashi. "Sasuke, Chouji, Shino and Tenten will be sitting out for this final event. I guess we should tell you what the event is now. It's going to be a dance-off. Whichever pair can dance the longest, WINS! This is all stamina and endurance."
"DANCE OFF?!" yelled everyone.
"PAIRS?!" yelled Neji and Lee.
"It's a good thing almost every team is male/female." Laughed Asuma in Gai's face.
"Go Lee and Neji!" cheered Gai.
"Asuma, you're one to talk with a member on your team that can't do ANY amount of physical activity for more than five minutes without getting bored with it and quitting." Said Kurenai.
Asuma stared at her. "That wasn't nice." He said.
"My only hope is that Sakura will be able to dance with Naruto." Sighed Kakashi to himself. "Sakura! If you dance with Naruto and win, I'll let you dance with Sasuke!"
"…What?" said Sasuke.
"Do you want to win or not?" Kakashi said to Sasuke.
"I don't want to dance with Naruto…" whined Sakura. "But I want to dance with Sasuke…"
"All right, Shikamaru, all you have to do is stand there and sway back and forth." Said Ino. "That's dancing, right? You can even look at the clouds while you're doing it too. You just have to keep swaying."
"I know, I know, it's troublesome." Shikamaru said. "But I guess I could do at least that."
"You okay with this, Hinata?" Kiba asked.
"Yes, I'm fine!" said Hinata. "Let's try our best! We could even use some moves from Saturday Night Fever!"
"I love that movie!" said Kiba even though he never heard of it.
"Is it…okay for us to just drop out now?" said Neji.
"I don't want to disappoint Gai!" said Lee. "But…"
"But it's too weird." Neji said. "Look, I'll say we want to drop out and you can act like you still want to do it just so you don't disappoint Gai."
"But what about you?!" Lee said, his eyes turning into fireballs.
"I don't care that much if Gai is disappointed with me." Neji said frankly.
"You're such a great friend!" Lee screamed.
"You all ready to boogie?!" said Gai to all the dancers.
"Actually, we want to drop out." Said Neji.
"WHAT?! NO!!" said Lee but it DEFINITELY sounded like he was acting.
"It's just too weird." Neji said.
"Oh Neji, you've convinced me." Said Lee. "If it is something you are uncomfortable with, I don't want to push you in any sort of unnatural direction."
"But we've all seen your incredible dance moves!" said Gai, but he was quickly silenced by a death glare from Neji.
"So, I guess its only these three teams." Said Kurenai. "Let's get this thing started! Don't disappoint me, Hinata and Kiba!" She leaned over and pressed the play button of the radio and 'Tequila' started playing.
"This is painful…" said Sakura as she tried to get jiggy with Naruto.
"This is a blast!" Naruto yelled. He was happy because he was dancing with Sakura.
"Um…" said Ino said she and Shikamaru were only holding onto each other and swaying. To a song like Tequila. It didn't look right.
"You guys have to dance more." Said Kakashi. "Shikamaru should be picking Ino up and swinging her around crazily to the music."
"How come I don't get to dance with Sasuke just because I'm dancing with Shikamaru?" Ino wondered, thinking about the deal Sakura got.
"I think they should be disqualified if they don't dance more." Said Gai, pointing to Ino and Shikamaru.
"Come on, guys!" said Asuma. "Dance more!"
"It's too troublesome." Said Shikamaru.
"Fine then they're eliminated." Said Kurenai.
"What?!" said Asuma. "That's not fair!"
"It's three against one!" said Gai.
"So now it's just my team and Kurenai's team!" said Kakashi.
"Come on, Hinata, just one more team to beat!" said Kiba.
"Must…dance…with…Sasuke…" said Sakura.
The two teams danced and danced. After all, the whole competition was to be decided by whichever team could dance the longest so neither team was about to drop out.
On one of the slow songs, Kiba looked at the teachers. "Hey, are we allowed to attack the other team?" he asked.
The teachers looked at each other and then back at Kiba. "Yeah." They said.
"Oh!" said Asuma. "I just thought of a good new rule! We'll keep it on a slow song and whoever lets go of their partner first loses! How's that?"
"Sounds good!" said Gai. "Cling onto your partner with all your might and never let go!"
"You just hang onto me, Hinata, I'll take care of separating the other team!" said Kiba.
"Okay!" said Hinata as she wrapped her arms around Kiba tightly. Kiba was secretly in heaven and didn't mind this position. He wouldn't have minded it if it was required to hang onto the partner this tight during the WHOLE dance competition.
"Yeah, same to you, Sakura!" said Naruto.
"Uh…um…how about we just hold hands?" Sakura tried.
"We'll get separated easily that way!" Naruto pointed out.
"No, because that way, we'll both be able to attack!" Sakura said.
"Oh right!" said Naruto dumbly.
"The teams both have completely different strategies!" said Gai into a microphone as if he was an announcer. "Team Kakashi has a weak bond but a strong attacking position! Team Kurenai plans on holding on until the end but limited attack power! Which will triumph?!"
To put it simply, we are really bad at writing out battles. In the end, all Kiba had to do was sick Akamaru on Sakura and Naruto. Akamaru easily just bit the hands that were holding onto each other and both Sakura and Naruto drew back to tend to their wounds. Thus resulting in a victory for…
Team Kurenai?
What the hell?
"YAY!!" cheered Kurenai. "MY TEAM IS THE BEST!!! In your faces!!"
"Your team is not the best." Said the three male teachers as rain clouds formed above their heads and they scoffed like Fox.
"Well, team, I expected more from you." Said Gai sadly.
"We gave it our all!" said Lee.
"No we didn't." Tenten said. "You guys dropped out. Nice job, Neji. You ruined almost EVERY event you were part of."
"I do NOT suck." Said Neji.
"I'm a bit disappointed that the only event you guys won was one as meaningless as cooking…" Kakashi said to his team.
"I tried to tell them that the idea was stupid." Said Naruto.
"But we won it by a long shot!" Sakura pointed out.
"We never came in last." Sasuke said. "Except when we were disqualified, but I don't even call that a loss because I beat Naruto."
"At least I know that you guys all know each other really well…in a deformed sort of way." Said Asuma.
"I'm glad I didn't have to dance." Said Chouji.
"If I was with Sasuke, we definitely would have won!" said Ino.
"That whole competition was so troublesome." Said Shikamaru. "Except for the Brain one. That was mildly fun."
"Once again, I'm proud of you all!" said Kurenai to her team. "Even though we are the most random team of them all with no prominent characters in it, we managed to pull through and beat out everyone else!"
"Yahoo!!" said Kiba. "Bragging rights!! You did well too, Akamaru."
"I hope Naruto doesn't resent me…" Hinata said mostly to herself.
"…I like bugs…" said Shino.
