Chapter 4: Neji and Hinata
Setus: I'm back!
Naruto: Hey, it should be 'we're back'!
Setus: (Rolls eyes) fine. Ok, let's get started! Naruto, don't you dare to destroy my music players again! (A/N all music is taken from the Naruto series. New addition, Naruto OST 3)
Disclaimer: I don't own any thing here, not even the music (Sob)

(Play music: Morning)
Once upon a time, there was a poor family who lived at the edge of the forest. They were so poor that they had to share every single piece of food.
"Sigh, this is all we have…" Asuma, the father sighed as he placed a loaf of bread on the table.
"At least it's edible…" mother, Kurenai sighed.
The two children sat down at the table. Neji ate his share expressionlessly while Hinata tried to share hers with the others, in case they were still hungry. Everyday was just like the other, bread after bread.
(Play music: Konohamaru's theme)
Then one day, as Father Asuma was out finding food, he saw a ninja up front. He crept up behind him and hid behind a tree. The ninja was eating, a packet of potato chips. Food, Asuma thought. He crept up to him slowly. Then just as he was about to attack, the ninja stood up and dusted his clothes. Asuma flinched behind as he froze in his tracks. The ninja leaped off, then a packet of potato chips dropped from the sky.
Asuma picked it up and studied it. Pepper flavor. Happily he took it home.
"Look what I found!" he happily said to his family. Then they saw the three others were at the table waiting, with two loaves of bread.
"Father, we found some bread today." Hinata said cheerfully as she stood up to greet her father.
Asuma was happy that there was at least, some food; so he stored the packet of potato chips in their cupboard and sat down to eat with his family.
(play music: Hinata VS Neji)
That night, the two children overheard terrible news as they were hiding outside the doors of their parent's room.
"We can't afford to take care of them now. We can't even support ourselves!" Kurenai said sadly.
"Then what should we do?" Asuma asked in the same tone as his wife.
"It's time they learn to take care of themselves." Kurenai then began to weep.
Outside, the two children were terrified.
"Neji-nisan, what should we do?" Hinata began to cry when they are back in their room.
"Don't worry, Hinata, I've got an idea." Neji said as he produced the packet of potato chips.
(Play music: Daylight of Konoha)
The next day, Asuma took the children out to the forest. Deeper and deeper they went.
"Children, now be good, I'll go look for food, while you stay here." Asuma tried his best to appear as per normal. However, it was not going well due to the byakugan the two children were blessed with. So when the father disappeared, Hinata began to cry.
"Don't worry, Hinata, on the way here I've dropped potato chips along the way, we'll just have to follow the trail to go back home." The brother calmed his sister. The turned around to follow the trails. But after a while, the trails disappeared. There, in front of them, was a white dog, with droopy ears and small eyes, munching on the chips.
(Plays music: Gai's theme)
"ARGHHHH!" the two siblings screamed together.
"Yo!" a figure emerged. He was wearing gray with a fury hood and holding a chip. "I'm Kiba, and this is Akamaru. Wonder who dropped these chips. Hmm… tastes nice."
"You ate our trail!" Hinata cried.
"Trail?" The stranger asked and turned back. The chips were gone.
"Can you tell where you came from?" Neji asked anxiously.
The stranger sniffed the air and gave a loud sneeze. Then another sneeze. The white dog then did the same. Sneezes after another.
"My sense, Ah-choo! Of smell! Ah-choo." Kiba cied as he sniffed and sneezed again. "Akamaru?"
The dog barked and sneezed. Neji took out the package. "Barbecue flavor. Extra spicy."
(Plays music: A crisis after another)
Hinata broke down again. Neji comforted his sister.
"Hey, don't cry, Ah-choo! I remembered seeing a house not far from here." Kiba said, still sneezing.
Then the three and a dog set out for the house. Finally after a long walk, they caught a glimpse of smoke and hurried in the direction. Then in front of them, loomed a great, big house, made entirely of POTATO CHIPS!
"Whoa…." The three uttered in shock. Hungry after so long, they rushed forward and tore some potato chips off and started munching. There was sour cream and onion flavor, barbecue again, cheese flavor, tomato, spicy, original…
They were so hungry that they practically ate the entire house. And just as Neji was about to devour the last chip…
BOOM!
The loud explosion sent the ground crumbling, Neji's chip was sent into the air. A shadow leaped and caught the chip and landed.
"Nobody." The shadow threw his scarf back. "Will ever take the last chip from me!"
"Who are you!" Kiba snapped, wiping his mouth with his sleeves.
"Pray for mercy from," the figure threw back his head and pointed. "Akemichi Chouji!"
(Play music: Bunta)
The three tried to flee, but was too full to run away.
"Hahaha!" The master of the potato chip house laughed evilly. "I'll have dog soup tomorrow and two servings of kids. Hahahaha!"
And so the three and the dog were locked up in a cage. However, Hinata was eventually let out to do chores.
"Get some wood and start the fire. I want to have them boiled first." Chouji yelled as he sat in his chair and munched on a potato chip. They were back in another house, made entirely out of dried barbecue meat.
Hinata may be quiet, but she's no fool. She gathered some wood and started a big fire. Meanwhile, Kiba, Akamaru and Neji were busy breaking the cage. Torrents and combats were shaking the cage roughly. Chouji just laughed.
So just when the fire started, Hinata politely asked Chouji to come and have a look.
"I'm not sure if this was the correct way to start the fire, so it would be best if you check it."
Chouji, pleased at the comment went forward. Then as he bent over, Hinata gave a push with her gentle fist move and Chouji fell into the fire. Then she gave another push movement with her hand, which implanted Chakra into the fire, causing it to burn even more fiercely.
"AAAAA" was heard as the food master was burnt. Hinata rushed and grabbed the key before it melted in the fire and freed her brother and the stranger.
"Neji! Hinata!" From far, cries were heard. The two siblings ran out and saw their parents looking for them. The parents apparently were unable to abandon their children and came to look for them.
Setus: Alrighty! Happy ending. What? Treasure? Oh, those dried barbecue meat, duh. They didn't have any food at home remember?
Naruto: Hey, is my turn next?
Sasuke: Uresai, kono usuratonkachi!
Naruto: NANI!
Setus: (roll eyes) nevermind. I hope you ladies and gentlemen are happy with this chapter. Thanks and goodbye. Stay tuned for the next fairy tale casted by our favorite Naruto casts. Next is, er…. Er…. ( turned to the cast) What's next? (cast shook heads) oh, anyway just stay tuned!
