Naruto Ondo is quite possibly the most fun song in the entire collection! Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru singing, hehehe… Datteba-Datteba-Dattebayo! Hmm… I might use it for the opening if I can ever find a translation. Hell I might do it anyway…

The Shinobi's Guide to Drama
By Kaori

Nobody likes having the ANBU sent after them but when you're hiding under someone's bed instead of helping with preparations like the Hokage ordered you to you should expect the ANBU…or Iruka but he was busy helping like a good little chuunin.

"Now…" Tsunade said slowly, eyeing Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma critically. "I expect this sort of thing from rookie gennins, not seasoned jounins like you two. Was there any particular reason why you were all hiding under Konohamaru's bed?"

"We didn't think you'd look there?" offered Kakashi. The Hokage snorted; she should've expected that answer especially since it wasn't the one she wanted. Although, to be fair, it did take the ANBU two hours to find them.

"Try again Hatake, and this time tell me what I want to hear."

"Umm… I plead the fifth."

"I am The Fifth. One more crack like that and Ibiki's going to have some company this afternoon." The three jounin's wracked their brains trying to come up with an excuse that didn't include "you gave our students free reign over a dramatic production and we don't want to be anywhere in sight when the proverbial shit hits the fan." "I'm waiting." Growled Tsunade.

Meanwhile, Shikamaru and company were (against all common sense) raiding Kakashi's house. Despite the rumours, the only perverted things in there were the bookshelves filled with Icha Icha books and plastic models, a pinup from the Icha Icha Vacation movie, and an autographed bikini from the girl her played Rulia in Icha Icha Beach Party 3. Unfortunately, they didn't find anything they could use on stage without Tsunade using Tsutenkyaku on them afterwards. Granted they were probably going to get Sennen Goroshied into the next millennium anyway, but why tempt fate?

While they were doing that, Naruto and Neji were trying to get Sasuke away from some overzealous fangirls. Word that the youngest Uchiha was going to be performing on stage, again (see Shinobi's Guide to Voodoo for a reminder), and they wanted to wish him good luck.

"Dammit! I told you we should have gone inside with Sakura!" griped Naruto. "It's all Sasuke's fault for being scared of an old woman!"

"I'm not scared!" Sasuke protested.

"If you're not scared then why are we running from your fangirls instead of inside the house with Haruon?" sniped Neji.

"They're not all my fangirls. Unless I'm seeing things four of them are yours!"

"Who cares whose fangirls they are!" yelled Naruto; although he may have been slightly jealous that he had no fangirls to chase him. "That doesn't change the fact that they're chasing us!"

"Sasuke!" squealed the girl currently in the lead. "Since you're going to be a famous actor soon, how about autographing my bra?" She was shoved into a turnip cart by another girl.

"No way you ugly skank! Sasuke's signing my bra!"

"I ain't signin' diddly!" wailed Sauske.

"This would be funny if I wasn't being chased too." Griped Neji. "Can't we just throw him to the fangirls and be done with it?"

"Only if you want to be killed by Ino and Sakura." Said Naruto.

"Damn."

"You got that right."

Let's check in on Kakashi and company shall we… Oh dear, why are they tied up like that?

"I blame you for this Kakahsi." Kurenai hissed.

"How is this my fault?" blinked Kakashi. "You couldn't come up with anything either."

"You're the expert liar, you should be able to make up crap on the spot!"

"To be fair, he's usually late to things because he's making up crap to tell other people." Asuma said. "He's probably not used to making up lies on short notice."

"Hey…" the masked jounin pouted.

"Well, well…" drawled Ibiki who appeared out of nowhere startling the three people tied up in the interrogation room. "When Tsunade said she had a treat for me I wasn't expecting you three."

"Kakashi, if we're still sane when this is over, I'm locking you in a closet with Anko…again!" threatened Kurenai.

"Now, now, none of that." Soothed Ibiki in a way that was completely uncomforting as he moved towards a movie projector. "Just sit back and relax. You're in for a real treat. I'm going to be showing you…" he flicked off the lights. "Barney's Imagination Island!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Did you hear something?' TenTen asked Ino as they browsed the aisles of the fabric store.

"No… Hey, Hinata let's see that white cloth again."

So, yeah that's part three. What foolishness will follow? When do we get to the acting? Furthermore, will the Jounin Friends (sorry, flashback to Superfriends reruns…curse you Cartoon Network for bringing that show back from blessed obscurity) remain sane after the horrible torture that is Barney? And what of Mr. Funkychu? Oops, sorry, wrong story…eheheh… What are you staring at? (Neurolizes the readers and then Jedi Mind Tricks them into reviewing)
