Battle of the Bands
Chapter 3
Today was the day. The day of the battle of the bands competition. Today was the day everyone showed their singing and instrumental abilites. Today was the day Uzumaki Naruto and his band would really try and rule them all! Before the competition they would have the final rehearsel. This is the time Gaara planned on showing them his ending finale effect that nobody would expect coming from him. It had to be used with sand though because they wouldn't be able to do it with anything else. The five all met at Naruto's house early that morning, did their daily routine, and were ready to go. It was already 4:00 PM at that time. They were all at Naruto's house preparing their instruments and voices. The competition was at 5:00 Pm. Aproximately 30 minutes away from the time. It was 4:30 when everything was prepared. They did their final rehearsel and this time they had real effects. They sang the song slowly and then it sped up and slowed down some more. Then at the very end Gaara did his effect when they least expected it and everyone was extremely staisfied by this new twist. Naruto was impressed on how well a stoic band like his did together. He was starting to have second thoughts. Finally it was 15 minutes away. By now the 15 had gathered together and were walking towards the stadium, dressed in the clothes they would wear during the competition. Everyone looked at each other and were either amazed, impressed, or just plain regular thoughts. They all walked into the stadium and seperated by band groups. They all got into positions and waited for the judges to tell who was first to go. When the genins looked at the judges they saw their four jounin teachers there waving at them. All their mouths dropped at that one thought. Their teacher had pruposely put that sign there.
They were all gonna get revenge against their teachers after that. They were already thinking of ideas for revenge. The jounins spoke into the loudspeaker. Gai-sensei went first.
"Good evening youthful spirits of Konoha! Welcome to the annual Battle of the Bands tournament! Today our young youthful competitors will battle each other in the youthful abilities of song!" Gai-sensei said in the loudspeaker. The crowd cheered quite loudly. Kakashi -sensei was next.
"We are glad all of you could come. Personally we would like to note that some of those who sing today will be our own former students! We hope you ejoy the show because we're all acheing to see which band will win the tournament. We are going to start with the group: The Uzumaki Rendan or Barriage. I wonder who could this group be." Kakashi said and at the end he just put his hand to his chin.
With that being said Naruto and his group stepped out with their hands out waving to the crowd in their own ways. Naruto with both hands blowing kissess, Sasuke with one hand in the air and the other in pockets, Chouji doing the same as Naruto, Gaara and Shino just not doing that. they all got into positions and Naruto did a brief introduction of them.
"GOOD EVENING KONOHA! We're glad you all came because we're gonna rock the house! Our group is the Uzumaki Rendan! Please enjoy our presentation! The song we're singing is called "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day! We have a video to go with it and in the end we will give you something special! Please enjoy!" Naruto yelled so everyone could hear. The crowd went wild. With that the music started.(recommended you listen to boulevard of broken dreams while reading. Sasuke is singing most of it so it will be a bit similar.) Sasuke stepped forward as the lights went dim on the stage and the lights were directed towards the instruments being played and the one singer at the moment, Sasuke. He started the singing.
INTERSECTION!
Bold means Sasuke is singing
Bold Italic means Naruto is singing
INTERSECTION OVER!
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
I walk a lonely road
The only road that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
The screen goes blank for a moment and a picture of a young Naruto shows on the screen. It shows him walking and people rejecting him. They have words too. They played these clips while the music is being played. Those behind the scenes see these too and some shed tears. The screen switches to Sasuke then Gaara. It continues about something bad that happens to them.
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beatin
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah aaah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
On the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah aah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...
The song ended smoothly as they all did their jobs perfectly while it left some of the girls of the group crying while watching the video. When everyone thought it was over a giant sand dragon popped out of nowhere and made a fireworks like explosion behind them getting everyone's attention as the dragon exploded into one giant fireworks display while kunai flew through the air making clinging noises and making shiny spots in the sky. When the kunai stopped another dragon head popped out behind all of the band members with Naruto in the center. They all did poses as the dragon blew up into smaller dragons and they made large firework explosions fusing with another set of kunai clashing and that ended the show. The final part was when the sand would create a giant statue of something and blow up making more effect around the group causing them to have a flawless band and a flawless ending effect. Everyone in the back looked in shock as they never really expected that. And at the last minute of leaving time Gaara had changed from his already chosen clothes to a blank black T-shirt and a pair of short dark blue khaki pants. The group did bring their forehead protectors and wore them in some same spots as well. Shino wore on his forehead, Sasuke on his arm like Shikamaru, Naruto forehead, Gaara as an arm sash too, and Chouji as a belt. The group was flawless and were positive they would win. That ends this short chapter.
Sorry but this is it for now. R&R please!
