Chapter 4: Horror with Monkeys

Author's note: Okie-Dokie, I'm trying this time-so, please keep me going! readers poke Erika with poles

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto continued to stroll the park quietly. Monkeys were quick and sneaky, so the three shinobis had to be careful. Sakura would shush them every few seconds, which began to get annoying to her friends.

"Oh, for crying out loud, Sakura," Naruto hissed, "how much quieter can we get then breathing?!"

Sakura stopped and looked around. Naruto began to copy her.

"What?" he whispered, quite loudly, "what it is it?"

Sasuke glared at him.

"Shut your face for a second, Naruto!"

Naruto grew silent, but his face clearly said, "I can be quiet, but you'll always be ugly."

Suddenly, a coconut engulfed in flames, landed in front of them. Sakura glanced upward. Laughing, hooting, and howling were a band of several monkeys.

"Damn Dirty Apes!" Naruto cried, shaking a fist.

More coconut bombs landed at their feet. Sakura back flipped a few feet then ripped out a ninja dagger. She used her chakara to run up the tree and viciously began tearing at the apes. One of them screamed at her and lunged for her throat.

"Sakura!" Naruto called frantically and began racing for the tree. He was caught off guard when a monkey sprang onto his back and began gnawing at his ear.

Sasuke groaned and raced up the tree.

"I hate jungle hooligans!"

He karate chopped three of the savage beasts, then grabbed Sakura around the waist and jumped back down.

"Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed happily.

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"I hate rash acts."

Sakura almost saw him smile.

When they reached the ground again, they found poor Naruto in a mash pit of monkeys. He was hog-tied and screaming for help.

Sakura pried herself from Sasuke's grip and raced for Naruto.

The monkeys screamed at her. One prepared to leap at her. Sasuke was currently trying to get a few off his back. They were all in a hopeless situation until a snow cone hit one of them square in the eye.

The three shinobis turned and stared in awe.

"Hey."

Sakura smiled brightly, Naruto thanked heaven, and Sasuke bit one of his attackers tails.

"Terry!"

Terry quickly began hurling frosty fun treats at the monkeys.

"Die! Die you sorry, unevolved humans!"

When the barrage was over, Sakura raced towards their hero as Sasuke untied Naruto.

"How? When? Why?"

"Well, after Water Land got boring, I decided to vend elsewhere-so I conviently chose Water Land's sister park, Jungle World."

Naruto stretched his arms as he was freed.

"It's amazing meeting an old friend."

Terry laughed cheezily and held out his hand.

"Friends forever!"

When no one high-fived him, Terry coughed awkwardly and put his hand down.

"There's my favorite slave-squad!"

Naruto grew queasy as he watched the approacher's loin cloth flutter up.

Kakashi stretched and winked, then scratched his butt.

Terry laughed again.

"I'd recognize that fat, pasty white, hairy punk from anywhere!"

Kakashi grabbed him by the shirt collar.

"Who you callin' punk?!" He demanded.

Sakura tugged on Kakashi's shoulders.

"No, Kakashi-sensei, he saved us!"

Naruto nodded.

"And he's got a snow cone cart."

Kakashi smiled.

"Oh, it's our old pal, Jerry!"

Terry pulled away nervously.

"It's Terry."

"Whatever, anywho, I got some great shots of Rock Lee frolicking with some playful chimps! His face was so delightful, Made me smile to see Rock Lee in his own habitat."

At that exact moment, Rock Lee flew by screaming his head off as monkey's drove after him in a Jungle World employee jeep.

Sakura screamed.

"Oh, no! We have to save him!"

No one leapt to help.

Sasuke finally noticed everyone was staring at him.

"Oh, fine! I've gotten rid of worse pests," he grumbled slowly approaching the already slow-going jeep.

He then inhaled deeply, releasing fire into the cart.

The monkeys began to scream and panic, pounding one another.

"I hate thieving monkeys," Sasuke commented.
