Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: The Orphans

The Arcade

Naruto, Sasuke, Lee and Tenten don't have families. Naruto and Sasuke are orphans and Lee and Tenten just don't have specified parents that were mentioned or shown. Family chapters for these guys would be tough so we just decided to clump them all together and give them a chapter instead of racking our brains in attempt to find a loophole in our own rules.

One day, Lee, Tenten and Naruto were all over Sasuke's house. They had just come in from a long and excruciating training exercise that was rigorous and tested their wits and strength.

They all sat down on the couch and gave heavy sighs.

"Guys, a new arcade opened up yesterday." Said Lee.

No one said anything for a moment or so. Then, simultaneously, they rose from their seats and walked out the door with only one thing in mind. ARCADE!

They reached the arcade that clearly was brand new. They got a whole mess of tokens and wandered around, trying to find the perfect place to start. But with so many machines and colored lights, it was hard to choose!

There were a few games in which two people who were rivals could potentially sort out their rivalry. In fact, there was one particular game with a little Barbie and a little Ken on jet skis that involved shooting water out of a little gun into a little hole and then, depending on how steady the stream of water was, Barbie and Ken would go up and whichever one hit the top first would win.

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and nodded.

"We'll watch." Said Tenten, referring to herself and Lee. They knew that there would be no way to get them away from the game without proving that a certain person was better.

"Sasuke, you can either be player one or Ken, you can't be both!" said Naruto.

"Then I'll be Ken." Sasuke said. He didn't care much about being player one because he knew that if a dyslexic person walked by, HE would be player one and NOT Naruto. But not even a dyslexic person could mistake Barbie for Ken.

"FINE!" said Naruto, thinking he was getting the better deal because the whole dyslexic thing never even occurred to him.

The cheap starting music played and then the two of them hit the bull's-eye in the hole but only the Ken on jet skis appeared to be moving up.

"Hey!" said Naruto. "This one's broken!"

"Nice excuse." Said Sasuke as Ken reached the top and then four tickets were spat out of the machine.

"No, seriously!" said Naruto. "Watch, you try it!"

"I don't NEED to try it to know you're lying." Sasuke said.

"This is to prove that I'm NOT lying." Said Naruto.

"Besides, I'm not going to waste another token." Sasuke said as he ripped the tickets out and pocketed them.

"Just give it up, Naruto." Said Tenten.

"But I obviously hit the bull's-eye better than Sasuke did!" started Naruto but he was suddenly distracted. One by one, the other three looked in the direction that Naruto was looking off in to see two Dance Dance Revolution machines right next to each other.

It was a race between Sasuke and Naruto to be the boy machine. They both started sprinting towards the game but, upon reaching it, Lee suddenly jumped in front of them both and landed on the pad.

"Go on!" said Lee. "Challenge me if you DARE!"

Sasuke glared at Naruto and pushed him out of the way. Then Sasuke got up on the girl side.

"I play Sasuke after!!" said Naruto.

"And I play Sasuke again after that!" Lee said.

"And me after that!!" said Naruto.

"Guys, what about me?" asked Tenten.

"Um…" said the three extremely competitive people as they figured that if they ignored Tenten, maybe she'd forget her question. Lee and Sasuke both put their tokens in and the machine lit up.

"Maybe we should start with—" started Lee but then he noticed that Sasuke was moving his chart to MANIAC!! So Lee quickly moved his to maniac too. Then they went as far as to pick the hardest song on the entire list.

"Yeah right, Sasuke!" said Naruto as if Lee wasn't doing the exact same thing as him. "You can't do THIS song!"

"Watch me." Said Sasuke.

Then the song started.

With Sasuke and Lee's mad ninja skills and inhumane speed, the two of them were able to keep up with all the jumps and steps and stuff as if they had been playing for years like one of those obsessed people. Finally, when the song was over, both looked as though they hadn't done a single thing!

"I got a double A!" said Lee. "And my score broke a record! YAY!" He went to look over at Sasuke's score, but Sasuke quickly continued the game so Lee wouldn't see that he had only gotten a SINGLE A! NOOO! Lee shrugged and jumped off the dancing pad. "I believe it's your turn, Naruto!"

"You better believe it!" said Naruto, jumping on the pad.

"I don't feel like playing anymore." Said Sasuke with a sigh as he stepped off the pad.

"WHAT?!" demanded Naruto. "Get back on!!"

"No, I don't feel like it." said Sasuke in a tone that made it quite obvious that his aim was only to annoy Naruto.

Naruto fumed as Lee jumped in Sasuke's place.

"I'LL play again!" he said.

"I'm only going to play if I get to play against Sasuke!!" said Naruto as he got off.

Lee shrugged and looked at Tenten who was only standing idly by. "Do you want to play, Tenten?" he asked.

"Sure!" said Tenten, getting on.

The two of them played a game and then Tenten realized that she was way out of her league so she moved herself down to basic after getting an E- on maniac. Then after playing a few more games, Lee and Tenten realized that Naruto and Sasuke weren't there anymore.

"Let's go find them!" said Lee.

"Okay." Said Tenten.

It wasn't too hard to find Naruto and Sasuke because they two of them were in the middle of competing in the Spider Stomping Game. There just so happened to be two machines right next to each other so they could both stomp spiders and see who stomped more.

"HA!" said Naruto after they finished a round of spider stomping. "I only missed ONE spider!"

Sasuke crossed his arms and laughed slightly. "You missed one?" he said finally.

"NO WAY!!" Naruto yelled, pushing Sasuke out of the way and looking at the score on his screen to see that Sasuke had, in fact, stomped every single spider that attempted to oppose him. "I'll show you, Sasuke!" Naruto said as he fished through his pockets for more tokens.

"Hey guys, where'd you go?" said Lee.

"…Here?" Sasuke tried.

"No, we played Ski-ball first!" said Naruto. "And I won!"

"You keep telling yourself that, Naruto." Said Sasuke.

"It's true!" said Naruto as he looked at Lee and Tenten. "You guys believe me, don't you?"

"Uh…" stuttered Lee and Tenten.

"How many tickets do you guys have?" said Tenten.

"I don't know how many Naruto has, but I definitely have at least fifty." Said Sasuke, pulling all of his tickets out of his pocket.

"Wow!" said Lee. "I don't have ANY!"

"That's because you've been playing that dancing game the whole time." Sasuke reminded him.

"Silly me!" said Lee.

"I have WELL over a hundred!" said Naruto but it was pretty obvious that he had even less than Sasuke.

"Lee, when were we supposed to meet Neji for training?" Tenten asked randomly.

"Um…" said Lee, looking at the clock. "Ten minutes ago."

"Oh right." Said Naruto. "Sasuke, when were we supposed to meet Sakura for training?"

"About a half an hour ago." Sasuke answered.

The four stood there in silence for a moment.

"Do you think he'd notice if we weren't there?" Lee asked Tenten.

Tenten slapped him upside the head. "Let's go." she said.

"Aww…" said Lee sadly.

"Bye guys!" said Tenten as she grabbed Lee's arm and dragged him out of the arcade.

Naruto and Sasuke looked as though they WERE going to follow but then they looked back at the arcade and all the competitive games they could play. They figured that Kakashi wouldn't show up for another few hours ANYWAY, so they might as well just play some more! And that's exactly…what they did.
