Naruto's Christmas Party!

It was a snowy day in Konoha. A blond haired boy was staring out his window pondering on what to do for the genin had a whole week off. He didn't know what to do without training with his team or hanging out with his team. He turned to the calender as the message said 4 days till Christmas. Christmas. . . the boy pulled on his orange coat and wore black boots and headed out the door full of envelopes.

His first stop was of course, his oh so favorite ramen shop. He was in the mood for ramen, but he saw five people he wanted to see. That would save him time of course.

"H-hello N-naruto- kun," The girl with short black hair Hinata said.

"Hey Hinata! Here, it's an invite to my Christmas Party!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Hn, only you would have something as stupid as a party," the cold-hearted Uchiha Sasuke said.

"Oh Naruto! I'd love to go!" Ino exclaimed as Naruto handed the blond haired girl an invite.

"Whatever," he murmured annoyed by her scream. "Hey Sakura-chan! Will you come!"

Sakura stared at Naruto with his begging face on and smiled a bit, "Okay, I'll go."

"How troublesome, a party," the lazy, now chunin Shikamaru said. Even though he was a chunin he still had the week off because Tsunade didn't feel like making Shikamaru go through the pain of seeing all his friends relaxing and him busy at work.

"You're going," Ino said glaring at Shikamaru, he knew he had no choice, he merely took the invite from Naruto aggravated at his troublesome teammate.

"Oi! Teme, you going?" Naruto asked with an annoyed look on his face.

"Hn," was the response.

"Sasuke-kun, could you please go. It's not like you can train with 2 feet of snow," Sakura said with a pleading look on her face. Like Shikamaru, he simply took the invite and said nothing.

Naruto quickly ate three bowls of ramen and left to Konoha's park.

About fifteen minutes later he found Neji and Ten-ten training together and Lee practicing taijutsu with Gai-sensei.

"Why hello, Naruto! What brings you here to the training ground. Do you wish to train with me and Gai- sensei?" Lee asked while standing straight up and bowing down at Naruto.

"No, I've come to invite you three to a party," Naruto said pulling out three invites.

"Ah yes, a party, they are filled with youthfulness. Lee, you too could show your youthfulness there," Gai said giving his nice-guy pose.

Naruto quickly turned around and asked Ten-ten and Neji. "You two want to go?"

Ten-ten smiled at Naruto, "Sure, a Christmas party seems suitable for this time."

"Neji?" naruto asked staring at him.

"Only because I will not have a training partner," Neji said grabbing the invite.

"Here Lee, oh, Sakura-chan will be there," Naruto said.

"Really? Then I shall impress the youthful Sakura-san!" Lee said. "I must prepare myself, for seeing her youthfulness." Lee said and ran off to the flower store.

Naruto ended up only inviting them because Kiba was finding homes for the puppies at a pound. Chouji was going help cook a feast and eat it, so he didn't want to go to the party. Shino just said he doesn't do parties. So, Naruto didn't want to force it on Shino.

Naruto had already begged Tsunade for a special little building that would be nice for the party. Plus, the invites with the names said bring presents for others. With that, he set up a giant tree and had already decorated it. (of course being Naruto got caught in the Christmas lights six times.) Naruto had three places hung with mistletoe there were comfy couches and many chairs for them to sit in, Christmas songs and other Cd's were on the stereo. There was also a stage set up incase the band Tsunade hired decides to show up. The snacks and everything were set up and Naruto was in his Santa outfit. Everything was going according to plan.

About two hours later, Ino and Sakura ended up there at the same time. Sakura noticed the mistletoe hung in the room and smiled.

"I'm going to get a kiss from Sasuke-kun," she said happily and accidentally out loud.

"You wish forehead girl. That kiss is going to me," Ino said happily.

"Ha! Ino-pig, I don't even think Chouji would want to kiss someone as ugly as you!" Sakura yelled.

"Oh and on what planet do you live on thinking Sasuke-kun would kiss you?"Ino shot back.

"Earth, because I know it's going to happen, here on Earth!" Sakura said smirking and walked away to put the presents she had for her friends under the tree. Ino did the same as soon as Sakura walked away.

Sadly, Ten-ten, Sasuke, and Neji arrived at the same time. Neji picked up Ten-ten because he didn't want Ten-ten to walk alone.

"Uchiha," Neji said sending a hatred filled glare at Sasuke.

"Hyuuga," Sasuke said sending the same glare back. They stood face – to- face and kept staring angry at each other.

"Why are you here? I'd expect you'd be off somewhere talking about how superior you are?" Sasuke said smirking.

Neji was ready for the challenge. "Unlike you, I had reason to come. I came to provide my assistance to my teammate by escorting her to this party. I'm sure that you're only here to said angry glares at people and say how pathetic and annoying they are Uchiha. Come Ten-ten let's put our gifts under the tree," Neji said pulling Ten-ten's arm towards the tree and away from Sasuke.

It had been less than five minutes and enemies and rivals were already bickering.
