Naruto: The Musical!

Muahaha,

First,

PLEASE REQUEST SONGS IF YOU'D LIKE!
I may take your ideas ;)

"Italics" singing

---

Naruto lay in his room twitching. It was late, very late—the stars were shining quite brightly. What had just ensued hours earlier...it had been a nightmare.

And even Naruto, naïve, naïve Naruto...knew something was up.

Because he did NOT just go around singing. And especially Hinata. That was just weird. She like, never talked. And Naruto was scared of embarrassment to go to training tomorrow with Kakashi and Sakura.

Since Sasuke had left, their team had seemed less full. There was no angstiness anymore. Except for Sakura, who sometimes angsted for Sasuke. But she was getting over it, and was starting to like him (YEAH RIGHT). Or that was what HE thought.

Anyways, so as Naruto was in a fetal position in the darkest corner of the room, he hoped to whatever force that was up there that this singing was just a spur of the moment thing.

Too bad he was wrong.

The next day, Naruto walked slowly out of his house. He looked from side to side in the street to make sure no one was there. He shrugged, and walked to the bridge where they normally met.

Upon arrival at the bridge, Naruto almost collapsed. There were all the teams. Hinata, Kiba, Shino. Neji, TenTen, Lee. Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji. And Sakura and the teachers of course. He moaned, and tried to hide the embarrassment plastered clear on his face. Kakashi smirked at him (or at least he thought he did, he was wearing a mask, duh).

"It seems you were quite the center of attention last night, Naruto." Kakashi said in an amused voice. Naruto frowned.

"It's not MY fault I started singing!" He protested. Upon hearing himself, he realized how stupid that sounded. "But really...I didn't WANT to! Tell them, Kiba! Hinata!" He said, begging for reassurance. Kiba just coughed and Hinata's face turned crimson red.

"Well, if you'd all listen." Asuma said, talking to them all. They turned, confused. He began again. "As you know, it's unusual for us all to be in the same place, but the guys and me have a meeting so if you don't—"

"Ahem." Said Kurenai. Asuma looked confused. She cleared her throat again. Asuma rolled his eyes.

"Alright, Kurenai, Gai, and I all have a meeting, and Kakashi's gonna train you all." He said. "Feminist." He muttered under his breath. Kurenai sent him a death glare.

"But Gai-sensei! I cannot spread my youthfulness without you!" Lee cried, obviously in complete and utter despair that his precious Gai-sensei was leaving for a few hours.

"Oh bother." Kakashi said, bored. He had brought Pakkun with him, who was currently asleep. Kakashi clapped his book shut, waking him up. Pakkun glared, but obviously Kakashi didn't care. Kurenai, Asuma, and Gai high-tailed it out of there. Shikamaru lay down on the bridge and began to snore. Ino kicked him, and Choji just ate some potato chips.

"We don't have to listen to you." Neji said in a rebellious tone.

"Well, if you don't, you can, what is it Gai makes you do...run 500 laps around Konoha?" Kakashi said curtly. Everyone quieted. Neji just glared.

"But Kakashi-sensei! I like training with just Sakura!" Naruto whined. Sakura sent HIM a death glare.

"That's enough." Kakashi growled. Suddenly his eye started twitching. Everyone gaped.

"Uh oh. Naruto, isn't that what you did when you—"

"Let's get down to business-
to defeat nin tons
Did they send me daughters
when I asked for sons?" Kakashi sang. Everyone gaped. Naruto fell over. Sakura yelled out for being sexist. Shikamaru kept sleeping.

"You're the saddest bunch
I ever met
But you can bet
before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man
out of you." He continued. He put down his book. He lead them into the forest. There were targets everywhere, and he gestured them into a line.

"Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within." He sang again, not caring that it was involuntary anymore. Everyone got out three kunai, holding them by their fingers. He gestured for them to shoot the targets.

"Once you find your center
You are sure to win!" He said, smiling as TenTen hit the shots in the bullseye easily. Everyone else missed considerably.

"You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot!" Kakashi sniffed at Shino, who didn't even twitch.

"And you haven't got a clue!" He said disdainfully at a sleeping Shikamaru. He kicked him awake, and he got up reluctantly. "Somehow I'll make a man
out of you."

"I'm never gonna catch
my breath!" Shikamaru moaned.

"Say good-bye to those
who knew me." Kiba growled.

"Boy, was I a fool in school
for cutting gym!" Choji burped.

"This guy's got 'em
scared to death!" Pakkun gasped, seeing them all rest, before the next set of training excercises.

TenTen glared at Neji, who had been staring at her. He quickly shot his look away, Byukagen on the targets. She looked away.

"Hope he doesn't see
right through me!" She sang out, then realized what she had done and clamped her mouth shut. Kakashi led them to a pool of water. He walked over it easily. The others followed slowly, except for a few.

"Now I really wish that I
knew how to swim!" Gulped Kiba before going under. Everyone snickered.

"Be a man!

We must be swift as the coursing river!

Be a man!
With all the force of a great typhoon!

Be a man!

With all the strength of a raging fire,

Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!" He called out. They came back to the forest, Kiba drenched wet and everyone scowling.

"Time is racing toward us till the nin arrive!

Heed my every order and you might survive!" He called out. Everyone sat down, coughing from exhaustion. He glared at them.

"You're unsuited for the rage of war!
So pack up, go home you're through.
How could I make a man out of you!" He bursted out in fury, looking upon them. They looked helpless. Then Naruto stood up slowly, a kunai in his hand. He face the target, flung his hand back, and shot. It hit perfectly. Everyone looked up in awe. One by one, they all stood up to the targets. They did the same as Naruto, and smiled at each other in determination.

"Be a man!
We must be swift as the coursing river!" They walked on the water again, chakra flowing to their feet. They all made it across, and cheered each other on.

"Be a man!
With all the force of a great typhoon.

Be a man!
With all the strength of a raging fire!" Everyone got in battle positions, even Shikamaru.


"Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!

Be a man!
We must be swift as the coursing river!

Be a man!
With all the force of a great typhoon!

Be a man!
With all the strength of a raging fire..." They hollered out in unison. They all did kicks and punches like Lee. Kakashi was again, reading his book, watching in triumph.


"Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!" They cried out. "HYAH!" They screamed, hitting the trees expertly.

They all fell to the ground, exhausted. Kakashi smirked.

"That was weird, but effective." He said, looking at them thoughtfully. They moaned.

"See? I told you it's getting weird!" Naruto cried. Kakashi shrugged.

"Maybe we just all have an unresistable urge to sing." Kakashi stated. Ino shrugged.

"Whatever, maybe we should talk to Tsunade." Ino suggested. Everyone groaned.

"We can talk to old lady Tsunade AFTER a nap. AND RAMEN!" Naruto added, on the ground, eyes closed. Everyone seemed to agree, which was weird since it was Naruto's idea.

---

"So lemme get this straight—you came to me on an emergency call...just to say you can't stop SINGING?" Tsunade cried out, fists on her desk. Three bottles of Sake fell to the ground. All of the kids nodded slowly. Tsunade groaned.

"Well, as ridiculous as it sounds, has anything HAPPENED recently?" Everyone shook their heads no. Naruto remembered the golden rectangle, but quickly shooed that idea aside.

"We just keep breaking out into song! It's creepy!" TenTen added. Tsunade sighed.

"Well, I could call in back-up from the Sand Village, to see if they're having the same problems, but I doubt it'll do any good. Just, um, sleep, take your pills, and get the hell out of my office." Tsunade said brightly. The kids were quickly shooed out. When on the street, they shrugged.

"I guess maybe we're just all so stressed that it comes out in song?" Lee provided.

"That's stupid." Neji shot him down. Lee pouted.

"Not really. It could happen." Sakura said wistfully. Lee got hearts in his eyes.

"Thank you, Sakura-chan! Your youthfulness shines like a lotus blossom in the moonlight!" He gushed.

"Hey, what do you think Shino?" Kiba asked. Shino ignored him. Kiba sighed. Everyone was silent for a few minutes.

"I have to...g-get b-back." Hinata said, before she ran off home. No one really noticed/cared.

"Okay, so, maybe we should all try to do un-stressful activities?" Naruto asked.

"Sounds good." Shikamaru said, and left abruptly.

"Typical." Ino growled. Choji shrugged.

"I'm going out to eat." He said, walking away. Ino shrugged, and ran after him. Everyone else parted ways soon after that.

"Stress is sure getting to all of us..." Sakura mumbled as she headed home.
