The Physique Competition

Tonight's audience consisted mostly of women. But this comes to no surprise. It's a bunch of buff, fit ninjas in swimwear! How can you resist! While the females of the audience were jumping and screaming, the boys were standing behind the curtain, waiting for their big moment.

"Dang! It's freezing back here!" Naruto complained, shivering like a felon.

"Well, then," Kakashi began calmly, "Maybe…you should STOP STANDING IN FRONT OF THE FAN IN YOUR SPEEDOS!"

"Oh, heh heh," Naruto laughed nervously as he stepped away from the fan, "Good idea. Hey wait a second! Why am I the only one in speedos!"

He took notice that the rest of his competitors were wearing shorts similar to swim trunks and everyone was wearing a robe, emblazed with their village symbol on the back, to cover themselves up."

"Naruto," Kiba stated, "This is a men's pageant, not a Chip and Dale's show."

There were a few barely audible disappointed "aws" coming from the other side of the curtain.

Everyone could hear Tsunade's voice through the microphone, "Thank you everyone for coming to the second Mr. Ninja Universe Pageant competition, which happens to be the Physique contest!"

Immediately all the females of the audience begin screaming. The curtains gracefully peeled apart and glided away in opposite directions, revealing the contestants in their village emblem robes, (and Naruto in his speedos). When their cue came, the group dropped their robes, with the exception of Naruto, and struck various poses, with the exception of Gaara. The audience erupted with cheers and squeals in seeing their usually-modest-in-covering fellow ninjas in the buff.

Neji whispered in Gaara's direction, "Don't just stand there with your arms crossed. Do something!"

There wasn't much of a response.

But Naruto was definitely putting on a show for the ladies by making every macho man pose he could think of, Kakashi doing the same. Mainly, it became a pose-off between those two. Even though Kiba was quite well fit, everyone had their eyes on Shino.

Kiba looked at his buggy friend, "Hey? Since when did you have a tattoo of Canada on your back!"

Shino broke his silence, "Since I understood that maple syrup makes the world go round."

The judges, who happened to be Anko, Kurenai, and Shizune, handed Tsunade the envelope containing the results for the physique competition.

The fifth hokage opened the envelope and read the names inscribed in the paper within it, "In sixth place, one point to Kiba for forgetting to shave his chest. In fifth place, ten points to Naruto for wearing speedos, but nine points deducted for wearing speedos…

"What!"

Tsunade continued, "…in fourth place, one point to Neji for being too arrogant to pose. In third place, five points to Kakashi for having ripped abs and making brownies for the three judges prior to the event. In second place, ten points to Gaara for being too naturally awesome to pose and for scaring the wits out of the judges with death glares. And in first place, fifteen points for Shino, Canada rules!"

And this concludes the second competition of the Mr. Ninja Universe Competition.

Here are the current standings…

First Place- Gaara with 20 points

Second Place- Naruto and Shino tied with 16 points

Third Place- Neji and Kakashi tied with 6 points

Fourth Place- Kiba with 2 points

The Maiden of Light: There's one more competition left and then we will have our winner. But I am sad to say that this will be the final chapter. And I apologize for taking such a long time. But now softball is finally over. We took second place in the state for division 4 teams. So basically, we are the best Division 4 public school in the state. Yahs and tears! If I come up with more of these little ditties, I'll publish them in a second story.
