Chapter 2: it's time for meh notebook

Note: ako po ay isang "newbie" salamat po sa lahat ng nagreview sa akin… nakakataba po kayo… (ng puso) :P

" o anu na?" Naruto said rather teasingly.

"..." the ninja finished his serving and stood up.

" teka... hindi ka naman galit nyan no?"

Gaara ignored him while finding some spare money to pay

"oi!"

Naruto reluctantly paid his bill and followed Gaara who was now walking a kilometer away. " Ang bilis namang maglakad nun! Gusto ko pa sanang kumain pa eh!"

" Naruto, I think this is your house..."

" pinapaalis mo na ba ako?"

"..."

"bahala ka na nga dyan!" Naruto hammered his feet while striding towards his house.

Gaara was suddenly worried. He shouldn't have said those words. He slowly walked home feeling somewhat depressed.

"anu ba naman yan!" Naruto shouted as his dirty clothes fly about in his room as he was searching for a new one. As he looking about, he saw one of his old favorite red t-shirt when he was a kid. He suddenly remembered Gaara. He was somewhat hurt about what Gaara said. But anyway, this is his mission so whatever hurt he would feel, he must set aside for the sake of his village.

"paano ko kaya sya mapapangiti?" He asked himself remembering vaguely what his former teacher have said.

"alam ko na!"

The following morning, Naruto woke up early and dressed. He was holding a fat, orange notebook with spiral designs and a blue ballpen.

" Kumusta na!" Naruto greeted.

" o Naruto..." one of them replied. It was a market place where different people go and shop all the things they need. Naruto was staring and smiling at a huge lady with stained apron who selling (presumably) fresh meat.

" meron lang po sana akong itatanong... kung hindi nakakaabala..."

" o sige basta ba bibili ka ng mga baboy ko eh!"

"paano nyo po napapangiti ang isang tao?"

" ano ba namang tanong yan? E di kilitiin mo!"

Naruto was silent. He didn't thought of that idea.

" Salamat po ale" Naruto had jotted the word " kilitiin" in his notebook and prepared to ask another person in the place when the lady called and said " akala ko ba bibili ka?"

" ay oo po pala!" 'naman o mawawalan pa ko ng pera!'

Naruto bought half a kilo and decided that he would never again ask businesspeople.

He was now walking on an intersection when he bumped into one of his friends.

" Naruto..." the friend was the shy girl, Hyuuga Hinata

" oi hinata! Buti na lang nakasalubong kita! May tatanong sana ako sa iyo eh!"

" anu yon..?" the thought of her crush talking to her makes this cute girl blush severely

" paano mo mapapangiti ang isang tao?" Naruto, again, prepared the notebook

" parang survey ba to Naruto?"

" um... parang ganon.."

" sa tingin ko... pwede mo syang bigyan ng regalo..."

" oo nga noh!" and with that naruto ran away without any thank you or goodbye. He left poor hinata alone in the middle of the street.

The blonde-haired ninja now entered the a flower shop where he knew he would find Yamanaka Ino, Sakura's "best friend" as anyone would say.

" Ino!"

"Naruto? Bibili ka ng flowers?" Ino said quite oblivious of her insult

" naman eh… may tatanong lang…"

"hindi naman tungkol kay lapad-noo yan no?"

"wag mo sya asarin ng ganyan!... o well anu pwede mong gawin kapag gusto mong pasayahin ang isang tao?"

"e di bigyan mo ng surprise party!"

"ahhh" Naruto answered as he furiously tried to write on the huge notebook

"para saan bay an?"

" huh? Wala to.."

Suddenly the door opened and came Shikamaru, teammate of Ino and quite intelligent.

" naruto! Kumusta na?" Shika asked without expecting any answer

" paano mo patatawanin ang isang tao?"

"kilitiin mo" the answer was SUPER simple but it definitely didn't hit Naruto's brain

"salamat sa inyo ha…" Then, Naruto walked towards the door ignoring the fat kid in front of it.

" bastos ka ah!" complained the food-lover ninja Chouji. Naruto then asked the same question and wrote the answer

Next stop is the Hokage's office where he saw Tsunade trying her very best to feed the pink, chubby pet pig with pearl jewelries and clothes. sigh the pig is quite lucky, indeed.

"tandang tsunade…" same question Naruto's been posting on everyone's faces for the last 2 hours.. he left the office and saw Jiraiya, the famous author, doing something on the shade of an oak tree. Naruto greeted him and inquired about what's he doing. The Sanin smiled and said " you don't wanna know". When Naruto heard the response he quickly peeked on it and blushed incessantly. He then asked his question and the reply came like this " Naruto, alam mo ang mga batang lalaking tulad mo ay pinabagabag na ng hormones.. naiintindihan mo ba? Ganito… si Gaara ay kahit papaano ay isang binata rin…" Jiraiya grinned. " kaya ganito ang gawin mo…" naruto listed it down hurriedly and grinned too. "salamat matandang mahilig.."

So his quest had ended after a whole tiresome day. He carefully numbered each suggestion from one to 50. He would start his crusade tomorrow.

Chapter 3: bagsak ang attempt no. 1

Note: hey.. this chapter is not so funny… please don't get bored

On a bright, sunny morning in Konoha, Naruto was walking merrily when he saw his victim. He was sitting in a shade of an oak tree peacefully and alone. Time for action, bebe! Naruto thought. He swallowed some saliva and looked for a pay phone booth. ( Naruto unfortunately, didn't own a cellphone) wawa naman… tsk, tsk. " hello… si Uzumaki Naruto po ito…. Pede dun sa may apartment?... ok.. basta marami ahhh… salamat… ang mahal naman!... oo na nga… bye.." After that mysterious phone call, Naruto grinned and walked towards Gaara. " oist, Gaara.." The boy stared at him for a moment and looked away. " I'm sorry last time.." he started

" para saan?" Naruto forgot the incident because he was so occupied with his mission.

"um…. Nothing.. forget it"

"bahala ka.. teka wala ka bang gagawin ngayon?"

" hn…"

"ano ibig sabihin nyan… sama ka sa akin meron tayong pupuntahang masayang lugar!"

" hn…" then Naruto grabbed Gaara hand and almost dragged him onto the streets. The blonde boy was so excited.

They arrived at an empty, dark room. They were alone. Where the HELL am I? Gaara thought.Suddenly after a flash of light, gazillion pieces of colored paper showered on them. It was a party. There were lots of peole Gaara didn't know. He was a stranger amidst them. Naruto on the other hand ws really enjoying himself with all the food and making friends with the people he never known existed. This is all confusing, the sand ninja said while making his way to the door. He walked out. Naruto noticed and began running towards him. " at saan ka naman pupunta, magaling na lalake?" Naruto nagged him like a mother. Gaara ignored him and pushed the door open. He left Naruto with jaws open and quite upset. He did it again. He made Naruto, the only person in the world who cares about him, upset.

The next day, Gaara saw Naruto buying some flowers in a shop. He made up his mind. He would talk to Naruto and apologize. " o Gaara.. eto o.." Naruto gave the flowers to Gaara with a blush. " what's this?"

"anu ka ba naman.. ngayon ka lang ba nakakita ng bulaklak?"

" no.. for what?"

" kasi parang nainis ka yata sa ginawa ko kahapon.."

"oh.."

" teka.. meron akong dalang lunch ditto.. bigay ng nanay ni Ino… kain tayo dun!"

" hn.." again Naruto held the hand of Gaara and dragged him.
