A/N: So yeah... I fail at being a Narutard for forgetting Naruto-sama's birthday! So here is my late submission for his birthday! ENJOY!

A shadow is seen creeping towards Naruto's Apartment...

Stealthily, It walks ever closer...

It placed a large box on Naruto's door step...

A small Card is seen pasted on the box... on it, a small drawing of Naruto and the message "Happy Birthday... Naruto!" was written...

The shadow recedes... and shortly after, a crash, a bark, and a hiss is heard...

- Scene Break -

Such a beautiful morning it is!

The sun is shining... The sky is blue... The birds are chirping...

Nothing was wrong with the pristine picturesque setting for the 10th of October!

Which, incidentally, was Naruto's Birthday...

While Naruto was still sleeping, dreaming of fields of ramen and naruto (The Condiment)... Elsewhere in Konoha, the team members of the Rookie 9 AND a few others congregated...

"How about an Orange theme?" Hinata brought forward the Idea...
"Yeah, We can all dress up in Orange!" Ten-Ten followed suit...

"Gai-Sensei! Is it okay if I wear an Orange Jumpsuit?" Lee asked his Mentor...
In the background, Sakura and Ino suppressed fits of Giggles, as if Green wasn't bad enough... Behind them, a board read: "Naruto's 16th Surprise Birthday Party Ideas Committee"

"What about food?" Chouji asked... In his hands was a bag or Potato chips...
"Ramen... For sure!" Sakura commented...

Somewhere in a distance, Iruka and Kakashi was Making out...

"When should we get there?" An annoyed Neji asked...
"Erm, By four? If thats okay with everyone..." Ino declared...
"Make it five... I have... Errr... Something to do at four..." Gaara commented... while stealing glances at Lee...

"This is so troublesome..." Shikamaru added... Temari was standing next to him...
"You can say that again..." Kiba agreed...
Akamaru... was neutral... as long as he got free food...

Kankuro was alone... but he was staring at Kiba...

And Shino... was being Shino...

"Wait how about we..."

And the meeting goes on...

- Scene Break -

It was almost noon...

Naruto woke up... yawned and stretched regally on his bed...

"Yosh! Today is my birthday!" Naruto said happily as he jumped out of bed...
"I'm FINALLY 16!"

Naruto got ready, made his bed, ate a cup of Ramen, drank half a carton of milk (after checking the expiry date... he did not want another "sports day" incident to happen), and got ready to dash out the door...

And... out he dashed...

Right before he tripped over something... and fell head first onto the concrete floor...

"Gyahhh! Itai!" Naruto said as he rubbed his nose... "What the hell?"
Naruto finally noticed the box... He read the card... and immediately jumped for joy!

"Yay! Someone remembers!"

Naruto was just about to open the box... when suddenly...

"Ohayo! Naruto!" It was Kakashi...
"Ohayo! Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto waved at Kakashi... then pointed to the box... "Is this from you?"

"Iie... but, the Hokage requires you... now..." Kakashi replied... in monotone...
"Kuso! Why Now! Why on MY BIRTHDAY!" Naruto practically shouted... pulling his hair...

"Well... that's not for me to decide... now, hurry up... you don't want Tsunade to wait... Do you?" Kakashi grinned at the thought... "She might kill you... you know..."

Naruto gulped at the idea... right before dashing straight for the Hokage's Office...

Once Naruto was out of sight... Kakashi signalled Naruto's departure...

"Yosh! Now we can begin!" Sakura commanded... with Ino, Chouji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Lee, Neji, Ten-Ten, Iruka, Kakashi, Gai, Kurenai, Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro behind her...

- Scene Break -

"Kuso-baba... What the hell did she need me for?" Naruto cursed... "Of all the missions today..."

Scenes of Naruto counting the spare change in Tsunade's office played in Naruto's mind...

"She could have asked Shizune... Or these two idiots outside her office... OR even Konoha Central Bank to do it..." Naruto continued, "... But NOOOO... She had to call me!"

"Kuso!" Naruto cursed yet again... punching his door... not realizing that he had finally reached home...

The door creaked open...

"Eh, I thought I locked the door before I left..." Naruto said, as he peered inside... "Hello, Anyone there?"

Naruto walked in... Kunai at the ready, just in case someone was there...
He noticed the box he tripped on earlier in the middle of his living room...

"Eh, How did you get in here..." Naruto asked, as he approached the box...

Suddenly, a smoke bomb exploded... Naruto was caught off guard...

"How could something this trivial be overlooked by ME?" Naruto thought to himself... He was in a defensive position...

After the smoke cleared, The lights were turned on, and to his surprise (and joy) his room was filled with all his friends and a large orange banner with "Happy Birthday Naruto-kun" written in Blue paint was draped on one of the walls...

Everyone was wearing orange! (Or at least had something orange worn)

In what seemed like a flurry of 10 seconds, everyone started well wishing and handed their presents to Naruto...

To him, this was the happiest day of his life!

Sakura gave him an Ichiraku Ramen Coupon booklet, Ten-Ten gave him all sorts of new Weapons, Kiba gave him a Fang bracelet thing, Kakashi got him the "Yaoi Rabu Paradaisu" book... and the list goes on...

"Everyone! Thank you so much for this!" Naruto said, practically in tears...
"Aww... don't sweat it Naruto! What are friends for?" Sakura said cheerily...

Shino, in the background, suddenly cleared his throat...
Everyone stared at Shino...

"Whats in the big box?" Shino asked...

"Yeah... what was in the big box" Sakura and many others wondered... "It was heavy pulling that damn thing into Naruto's apartment..."

"Eh... I thought one of you got it for me..." Naruto said... confused as well...

Everyone shook their heads...

"The card didn't say who's it from..." Temari said, as she read the card...

"Well... One things for sure..." Naruto said as he got closer to the box... "... We wont know until we open it!"
