WOW!! Guys, thanks so much for all your ideas! A lot of them made us go, "Hey...why didn't WE think of that?" Anyhoo, we're just going to finish submitting all of OUR chapters that WE wrote and then submit your suggestions... they should start showing up around chapter 65-70 or so. There were a lot of suggestions made that we already wrote, so if we don't give you credit for an idea that you had then that means we had already had it done. Like Lil Gai and Lil Kakashi... and Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru. Anyway, thanks again and enjoy!!

Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: Teachers

The New Addition

This is one of those ideas that we explored many times and lots of reviewers spat this suggestion out. It SHOULD have been done in the original, like a lot of these chapters, but we never actually got around to it.

"Hey guys!" said Gai as he came in the restaurant with the grill in the middle of the table that you can cook the food right then and there. Kakashi, Iruka and Kurenai were already sitting at the table and they both waved to Gai.

"Did Asuma call you too?" asked Kakashi.

"Yup!" Gai said, pulling a chair up for himself.

"He said that he had a special surprise for us." Said Iruka, sounding excited.

"I can only imagine!" Kurenai said. "What do you think it'll be?"

The four of them sighed and attempted to imagine the wonderful prize that Asuma would be arriving with any moment. Then the door to the restaurant opened and Asuma came loudly tromping over with an enormous dopey grin on his face that suggested he was bursting with happiness that his surprise was about to be revealed.

"Why, hello Asuma." Said Kakashi, not wanting to sound uncool by asking for the surprise. "How are you?"

"Good!" said Asuma. "You're probably all wondering why I've asked you here today."

"Well, we were going to have a Jounins and Teachers and Chuunins party ANYWAY." Kurenai pointed out.

"I'm so glad you said that because I brought someone else for our party!" Asuma said as he stepped aside to reveal Shikamaru standing there with the, "Wow, I don't believe anything could possibly be MORE troublesome than this." expression.

Kakashi, Kurenai, Iruka and Gai's faces fell.

"Well?" said Asuma, sitting down and pulling a chair over for Shikamaru. "What do you all think?"

"He's not a teacher." Gai said finally and the rest of them quickly agreed.

"Well, I know!" said Asuma. "But he IS a chuunin! And we never specified that the chuunins joining out party had to be teachers! It just so happened to Iruka was a teacher as well as a chuunin!"

The teachers stared at Shikamaru.

"What?" said Shikamaru. "It wasn't MY idea. Asuma made me come."

"I'm sure with Shikamaru around, we'll have LOADS of fun!" Asuma declared.

"What about the hazing?" Iruka asked.

"Hazing?" Asuma said obliviously.

"He's right." Said Kakashi. "We must haze Shikamaru!"

"We don't need to haze Shikamaru!" laughed Asuma. "We KNOW he's cool enough to play with us."

"Nope." Said Kurenai, crossing her arms. "We have to haze him first or else he can't hang out with us."

"Fine then!" said Asuma. "Give him any task! He'll complete it easily!"

"Asuma, this is troublesome." Said Shikamaru.

"Shh." Said Asuma.

"Okay, Kakashi, think of some way to haze Shikamaru." Gai said. "Just remember, if he completes the task then he can hang out with us but if he is unable to complete it then he's not allowed!"

"Oh right." Said Kakashi with a nod. "All right…a task…"

Shikamaru sighed and drummed his fingers on the table. He didn't want to be there as much as the other teachers didn't want him to be there.

"I've got it." said Kakashi. "You must…make Sakura love Naruto and make Naruto and Sasuke become best friends and have Sasuke love Sakura."

"Excellent!" said Kurenai. "I approve!"

"I do too!" Iruka agreed.

"I want to see this in action!" Gai said.

"Hey!" said Asuma. "Wait! I thought we already decided that that was an impossible task!"

"Not for Shikamaru." Said Kakashi. "The way you go on about him, I would think he'd be able to accomplish anything. Of course…him receiving that chuunin vest could have just been a fluke…"

"A FLUKE?!" Asuma yelled, standing up and slamming his hands down on the table. Shikamaru slapped his forehead. With his vast IQ, he knew exactly what was going down and was not in the least bit offended that the teachers were questioning his right to the chuunin vest. However, Asuma was offended enough for the both of them. "Shikamaru ACCEPTS your challenge! Just you wait and see! Come on, Shikamaru! You have to put these guys in their places!"

"I'll try." Said Shikamaru with a shrug even though he had no intentions to actually try. Even if he DID try, it's not like he would have succeeded anyway.

"I think my team is still on the bridge." Kakashi said. "I told them to meet me there last night."

"Why do you tell them that stuff if you never go?" Iruka asked.

Kakashi only looked at Iruka. "Let's go and see if Shikamaru can succeed." He said finally after enough time had passed to the point in which he assumed everyone had forgotten about the question.

The group of six went down to the bridge and while all the teachers hid in the trees, Shikamaru awkwardly approached them since they were still there.

"This is so annoying!!" Sakura yelled, pulling her own hair. "Why are we still here?!"

Then they noticed Shikamaru standing there foolishly.

"Hi." Said Shikamaru.

"Hi." Said Team Kakashi.

"Um…" Shikamaru said. "So…you guys have been here all night?"

"Yeah." Said Team Kakashi.

"Okay." Said Shikamaru.

They paused and were silent for a little while. "Sakura, will you love Naruto? Ever?" he asked finally.

"Eww!!" yelled Sakura. "Never ever!"

"Aw man!" said Naruto as if that was news to him.

"Naruto and Sasuke, will you two EVER become best friends?" Shikamaru asked.

"…No…" said Sasuke and Naruto at the same time, raising their eyebrows.

"And, finally, Sasuke, will you ever love Sakura?" Shikamaru finished.

"No." said Sasuke wistfully.

"Hey!" said Sakura.

"Thanks." Said Shikamaru, turning around and walking back towards the teachers. "That's all I wanted to know!"

He reached the teachers and they all jumped out of their trees.

"I tried, but it's impossible." Shikamaru said with a flamboyant shrug.

"It's all right, Shikamaru." Said Kakashi, putting Shikamaru on the shoulder. "But everyone has to pass the initiation or they are simply not allowed to hang around with us. Isn't that right Iruka?"

"Yeah, you should have seen the crazy things I had to do!" said Iruka but he wasn't about to go into it because he didn't feel like it.

"Shikamaru didn't want to hang out with you guys anyway!" said Asuma.

"It's true." Shikamaru agreed. "But not because I don't like you guys, but just because I'd rather be doing other stuff."

"It's all right, Shikamaru." Said Kurenai. "We didn't want to hang out with you either."

With that, Shikamaru sauntered off to his favorite thinking area/Kiba's favorite playing with Akamaru area.

Asuma sighed and lowered his head. "I thought Shikamaru was ready…" he said solemnly. When Shikamaru was out of earshot, the other teachers proceeded to give Asuma the beating of his life.
