Color my Naruto

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Rainbow Brite, 'cuz if I did, this would have already happened in the billion and one episodes of filler in Naruto.

Ryu: Told you that you wouldn't have to wait forever for the second installment of Color my Naruto. Well, without further ado, adieu!

Chapter 2: Color Assignments

"Well, of course I'm real." Rainbow Brite said. "Who do you think puts color in the world?"

"Ok. But what are you doing here?" asked Naruto, oblivious to the fact that most of the group was still staring, slack-jawed.

"Actually, I need some help." She counted the number of people around, then smiled brightly. "And there's just enough of you! Perfect!"

"Our help? With what?" Gaara had managed to speak out.

"I'll explain that when we get back to Rainbow Land," she said. She pressed a star on her belt. Suddenly, a stretch of rainbow appeared under the group and bore them skyward. Rainbow Brite and her horse were already on the move.

"Whoa! Don't we have a choice?" yelled Sasuke.

"I'm afraid I don't have time to find anyone else," replied Rainbow.

Through the sky they flew, all worried and curious at the same time.

Finally, after flying for about an hour, they broke through the clouds, and there, before them, stood a yellow castle with a small village underneath it. High in the mountain, the mouth of a mine gaped, with small, furry creatures going in and out, pushing carts full of what looked to be crystallized color. The rainbow seemed to be flying them right to the castle. They landed right outside the colorful front doors.

The doors burst open, and seven very colorful kids, with hair that matched their outfits, ran up to join Rainbow.

"Rainbow! You found some!" cried the yellow dressed girl happily.

"Zey will be perfect!" smiled the girl wearing orange.

"Wow. And two very pretty ladies as well," the boy in red spoke.

"They all look like they're in great shape," said the blue-bedecked boy.

"They look like fun!" shouted the girl in green.

"They will be just fine," murmured the flowing indigo wearing girl.

"Are they friendly?" asked the quiet girl sporting violet.

Rainbow held up her hands. "They will be just fine. Now, I need you to spend a few minutes with each of them to get to know them a bit better."

At this proclamation, Gaara ringed himself with a low layer of sand, and a tendril snaked out and circled Tenten, too. Suddenly, a hand smacked him upside the head.

"You don't need to do that," said Naruto. "It's not like they can hurt us."

"I'm not taking any chances," replied Gaara. He kept the sand up.

The colorful kids ran around, talking to each person for a moment, before running back inside with Rainbow. The group stood around, silent, for they had not quite gotten over the fact that these small colorful kids were wanting them to do something.

A few minutes later, Rainbow and the kids came back out. They stood in a line as Rainbow cleared her throat.

"Ok, here's the deal. Each of the kids has chosen one of you. When the kid calls your name, go over there and stand by them. We'll explain everything in a moment." Amazingly, no one argued.

The red robed boy was the first to start. "I'm Red Butler. I spoke to all of you, and I have chosen: Shino."

Shino's eyes widened, but he stepped over to Red.

The girl in the orange dress came next. "My name ezz La La Orange, and I picked: Sasuke."

Sasuke stood stock still, until Naruto shoved him towards La La. He moved to her, and stood, glowering.

The bright yellow dressed girl stepped forward. "I am Canary Yellow. I wanted someone like me, so I chose: Gaara."

Gaara's eyes widened considerably, but Tenten gave him a gentle push, and he stood next to Canary.

The green garbed girl jumped out. "Patty O'Green's my name, and decided on: Tenten."

Tenten walked over and stood between Gaara and Patty.

The blue bearing boy walked up. "I'm Buddy Blue, and I picked: Naruto."

Naruto jumped over and stood by Buddy.

The girl in indigo came forward. "I'm Indigo. I chose: Ino."

Ino smiled and walked up to Indigo.

The violet dressed girl went last. "I'm Shy Violet. I picked: Lee."

Lee yoshed, and stood by Shy.

This left Neji standing alone. "What about me? Does this mean I get to go home?"

Rainbow giggled. "Nope. I chose you." She turned to everyone else. "Alright, everyone, let's go inside. I'll explain there."

Once everyone had trooped inside and sat down, Rainbow began.

"Here's the deal. The eight of us have to go and deal with some very bad people. Unfortunately, they are a long ways away, and it will take some time to deal with them. So, we are putting you all in charge of keeping color in the world for that time."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute." Sasuke stood up. "Are you telling me that we have to be here for an indeterminate amount of time, and that we have to use those color stars to make things colorful?"

Rainbow nodded. "Yep, that's the deal. Since at least one of you actually knows what's going on, it'll make this easier." She moved towards a flight of stairs. "Now, your color kid will take you up to your room and tell you the last part."

The group trooped upstairs. Red stood by the red colored door and spoke. "The last part is, there are outfits for all of you in the rooms. You must wear these at all times, except for while sleeping. There are pajamas in there too. Now, please go change."

The group looked around, then slowly moved towards their door.

A few minutes later, gasps and screams could be heard from the rooms. The color kids giggled and waited.

"If you seriously think I'm coming out in this getup, you are out of your fucking mind," shouted Gaara, from behind the yellow door.

"There is no way I'm wearing this!" The green door shook as Tenten yelled.

"No! Bad color, bad color!" moaned Naruto from the blue room.

"I have to agree with Naruto and Gaara," spoke Shino from the red door.

"I'll dress in this when Hell freezes over," said Sasuke no nonsensedly from the orange room.

"I think I'll stick with my bodysuit," stuttered Lee from the violet room.

"Oh! This is so cute!" Ino cried from the indigo room.

"Oooooh, I can feel the glares," mentioned Patty.

Finally, after much cajoling and pleading, the seven doors opened.

From the red room came Shino, in a red sweat suit and cape. "This never gets mentioned again. EVER."

The orange door spat out Sasuke, dressed in a long sleeved orange shirt, and what looked suspiciously like a skirt until he walked. It was wide legged orange pants. "Laugh. I dare you."

The yellow door didn't open until Canary kicked it open. There stood Gaara, in a bright yellow, tight-fitting bodysuit. He glared at everyone. "Not a word."

The green door opened. Tenten walked out in a short green skirt, and long-sleeved green top. "If this gets out, you all die."

The blue door opened and Naruto stepped out. Everyone tried so hard not to smile. He was wearing a blue sleeveless shirt, and short blue shorts. His eyes glowed red. "Speak of this, and you will pay."

The indigo door crashed open as Ino rushed out. She was wearing an indigo top with indigo harem pants. "Aren't these just adorable?" she gushed. The glares renewed.

The violet door opened and Lee shuffled out. He was wearing a long sleeved violet shirt and a pair of violet shorts, not as short as Naruto's, but still short. "Gai-sensei will never let me hear the end of it."

Suddenly, Rainbow slid down the pole in the center of the room and jumped off. She turned and looked up. "Come on."

Neji slid down, landing next to Rainbow. He was dressed in a dark blue long sleeved top with every color of the rainbow on his sleeves, blue shorts, red suspenders, and the color belt, a red belt with a star and rainbow on it. This caused a lot of wide eyes. He glared at them all.

"Don't…EVEN…THINK…IT," he said quietly.

Rainbow smiled. "There. Now you're ready!"

The glares turned to her, but she didn't seem to feel them. "Well, just one more thing, and we'll be off."

The eight of them looked amongst them. Now what?

End Chapter 2

Ryu: I can hear the laughter now.

Gaara: You put me in YELLOW!

Ryu: Not my fault. It was completely random.

Etna: About the only one who got something good was that Ino chick.

Gaara: But…YELLOW?

Ryu: Talk to Canary. She picked you.
