"Italics" singing

---

"THAT'S IT!" Itachi cried, covering his ears. Kisame looked confused.

"What is it?" He asked, curious as to why his partner seemed to be going mental. Not that he wasn't already mental...I mean really, what villain wore NAIL POLISH?

"The constant SINGING! It's so totally Orochimaru's fault. He's so not invited to my next party." Itachi said with a dramatic and girly 'UH!' at the end of his statement.

"Are you okay, Itachi?" Kisame asked. He sighed.

"You know, all of the Akatsuki have been singing DISNEY songs all week. How do you THINK I'm doing!" He glared. His eye starting twitching. 'No...IT's...starting...' Itachi jumped up on a box in the Akatsuki lair, cackling maniacally. Everyone gathered to listen. He raised an eyebrow.

"I never thought partners essential.
They're crude and unspeakably plain.
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential...
If allied to my vision and brain!" Itachi spoke, in a whisper, to himself. He turned to Kisame and the others.

"I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a back of a dead man!
But thick as you are, pay attention!
My words are a matter of clan." Itachi sung in a hoarse voice. The others listened. The Akatsuki leader was no where in sight, obviously at a party or something. A small group of Itachi's followers hung to his every, erm, musical word.

"It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs.
But we're talking the Sound and successions!
Even you can't be caught unawares!" Itachi growled. The others laughed along with him.

"So prepare for a chance of a lifetime!
Be prepared for sensational news!
A shining new era...
Is tiptoeing nearer!" Itachi laughed evilly.

"And where do we feature?" Kisame asked.

"Just listen to teacher!
I know it sounds sordid,
But you'll be rewarded,
When at last I am given my dues!
And injustice deliciously squared...
Be prepared!" Itachi sang out in a bellowing voice. Everyone was listening to him intently by now.

"Yeah! Be prepared.
We'll be prepared. For what?" One of the Akatsuki spoke.

"For the death of Sasuke, Naruto, and Orochimaru!" Itachi said, feeling as though he should slap that idiot.

"Are they sick?" Another asked.

"No fool, we're going to MASSACRE THEM! And the Hokage too." Itachi said with a smirk.

"Great idea! Who needs a Hokage?"

"No Hokage, no Hokage, hahahahaha!" They all chanted like bumbling idiots.

"FOOLS! There WILL be a Hokage!" Itachi hissed.

"But you said..."

"I WILL BE HOKAGE! STICK WITH ME, AND THERE'LL BE A VILLAGE FOR ALL OF US!"

"Yay, all right!
Long live the Hokage!
Long live the Hokage!"

"It's great that we'll soon be near,
A king who will fill all with fear!" All of them sang out.

"Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected,
To take certain duties on board.
The future is littered with prizes,
And though I'm the main addressee,
The point that I must emphasize is:
You won't get a sniff without me!" Itachi yelled out.

"So prepare for the coup of the century!" They all laughed.

"Be prepared for the murkiest scam!
Meticulous planning,
Tenacity spanning,
Decades of denial,
Is simply why I'll,
Be Hokage, undisputed,
Respected, saluted,
And seen for the wonder I am!" Itachi laughed.

"Yes my teeth and ambitions are bared!" Itachi cried out in evil laughter.

"Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!" They all sang together, cackling evilly. The sound in the background ended.

"So...you want to kill the Hokage, kidnap Sasuke, Naruto, and Orochimaru?"

"Yeah."

"Wow. That only took you a whole song."

Somehow, the next day, everyone seemed to be sort of used to the singing. Lee had taken to singing each day while he trained, and a lot of the teachers were getting used to the spontaneous music in the background of Konoha. Although they still tried to figure what the hell was going on, they were not as stressed as they usually were.

But Shikamaru was getting constant headaches. I mean, Disney, 24/7? It drove a guy NUTS! Which was why he was currently in the Hokage's office.

"What is it, Shikamaru?" Tsunade asked. There were ten bottles of empty Sake on her desk.

"I think that the music jutsu (if that is what it is), is by Orochimaru."

"Why the hell would he do that?"

"To annoy us to death?" Shikamaru said.

"Good point." Tsunade said, narrowing her eyes. "His plans were always pretty rash. Alright. I'll try to look into it." She said. Shikamaru nodded, and left.

---

"Orochimaru." Said an all-too-familiar-angsty-emo voice.

"Yesssss, Ssssassssuke?" Said a voice like a snake.

"My Itachi senses are tingling."

"What!" Orochimaru asked.

"Itachi's planning something. And I think Konoha's figured out the whole 'Musical' jutsu you used."

"The one that was supposed to annoy them to death?"

"That's the one."

"Oh well. It was just a Plan B, anyway."

"Hn."

"So I guess you should go to Konoha, kill your brother, yada yada."

"Hn."

"Okay, I'll be here with Kabuto. Be back by Monday, kay?"

"Hn."

Naruto sighed as he walked down the street. It was dark, and it had been a day since Kakashi had trained with him. It had been a living hell. It had been hard, tiring, and he didn't even buy him Ramen at the end. Oh well. He walked in front of Ichiraku's, and with the last of his money, bought twelve bowls of Ramen. Suddenly Hinata walked up. She looked surprised to see him.

"N-n-naruto-kun?" She said, twiddling her fingers.

"Oh. Hey Hinata." He said. She blushed. "Can I sit here?" She asked, looking at the chair by him. He shrugged. "Sure."

Suddenly Kiba and Shino walked in. Kiba's eyes widened at the sight of Naruto and Hinata, sitting side by side. Kiba pulled them into a booth at the back.
