The trilogy begins…While I'm up here…

Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto or Samurai Champloo or the record scratch they use to bleep out stuff.

It's "What's the Deal" with…Shikamaru! (cue theme music) Where he'll find "What's the deal" with two samurai warrors, Mugen and Jin! (crowd claps as Shikamaru walks on the stage)

Shikamaru: …Uhh…why did I agree to do this? Well, at least it beats having to go save that idiot. Speaking of idiot, don't we have an update on that "Operation: Clown"? (dude backstage: Hey, don't you mean "Operation: Naruto"?) I don't care, just show the clip.

Kiba: Okay…(plays clip)

-Operation: Naruto -

Day 1-Hour 12

Kakariko village

Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke are seen spying outside of a home trying to find any hint on Nartuo.

Sakura: (w) Do you really think that Naruto could be here?

Kakashi: (w) Don't you smell it? The smell of ramen is around here. Look. (pointed to the bound and gagged Naruto hidden in the corner of the room in the house) We have to be silent, just in case he's there.

Sasuke: (w) Maybe he isn't there.

Kakashi: (w) We can't be too sure, so be careful-wait! (sees Link walking into view, listening to the tiniest of sound, then spots the three outside and smirks) Oh no he's found us!

Sakura: What should we do-

CLANK!

Then upon seeing the hook latched to the tree they're in, they look back to see Link flying up to them via hookshot, with Master Sword in hand. With some dodging and careful planning did the three evade Link's attacks.

Sasuke: Unhh! How can we take this guy!?

Sakura: (pulling a kunai) It's three to one, we can beat him! (charged at Link)

Kakashi: No!

Link: Ha! (shot Sakura with a charged magic blast from his sword) You! You betrayed me!

Kakashi: I betrayed you? How?
Link: You let all of those people hear my voice!

Kakashi: What-

Sasuke: So what? Millions of people heard you talk. And?

Link: Quiet you! (shot an ice arrow, thus freezing Sasuke) I don't like you, Kakashi.

Kakashi: What did I- nevermind, look Link. Just give me Naruto and we'll forget the whole thing.

Link: Not until everyone forgets how I sound! (throws a deku nut and dissapears in the flash along with Naruto)

Kakashi: Where did he go-Oh no…Naruto!!

Then the clip cuts to a scene where Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura are running (similar to how Naruto currently comes on) and ends with the picture of Naruto in Link's chokehold.

Back to the show, Mugen and Jin are seated on the floor of the stage.

Shikamaru: And that's the update. (sigh) Why are they even looking for that clown, I mean do we even need him? Anyway, I have a show to do… … …Uhh…what does Kakashi do anyway? (dude backstage: He tells the good news and bad news of the last show) Why? We already know what happened. Oh forget it, who am I interviewing? (grabs the cue card) Mugen? Is that how you pronounce it? (Mugen looks up) Well I guess you're Mugen and that makes you Jin. Uh, you do know we have chairs for you, forget it. First order of business, who are you? What do you do for a living?… … …Didn't you hear me?… … …Come on-

Mugen: who do you think you're talking to?

Shikamaru: You. You ARE my guest.

Mugen: A samurai.

Shikamaru: That's it?
Mugen: Well, I go around killing people.

Shikamaru: That's it? I mean, it's wrong. Hey, I'll bite. It's wrong.

Mugen: Ask me if I care.

Shikamaru: Ok, I'll bite again. Do you?

Mugen: No.

Shikamaru: (sigh) How deals Kakashi do this? Ok, you on your knees. You know we have a chair for you, right?

Jin: I'm fine here, thank you.

Shikamaru: Alright-oh. You wear glasses. That's weird, seeing a samurai wear glasses. Are they bifocals? Are you near-sighted or far-sighted or what?

Jin: They're…they're glasses, okay.

Shikamaru: Ok, heh. So do you go around killing people like Mugen over there?

Jin: Only if I need to.

Shikamaru: Whoa, so what brought on this friendship? I mean a selfish, hot-headed-

Jin: Who said we were friends? (pulled out sword)

Shikamaru: Oh man, don't start any of that stuff. Come on, it says on the card that you are friends.

Mugen: Let's get this straight. The only reason I hang out with this (record scratch) is because of a promise made by this stupid girl that found us, got it? I could care less for that (record scratch)

Jin: The feeling's mutual.

Shikamaru: Unhh…what brought on this hatred?

Mugen: You know what, I say we settle this since the girl isn't here. (pulls out sword)

Jin: Fine by me. (stands up and gaces Mugen, sword out)

Shikamaru: Oh come on, why is there always violence on this show? Who picks these people anyway? I'm not breaking this up. (arguing with dude backstage) So what if I don't stop them, they'll kill each other…I don't care! … … …Well why don't you find the girl and make her stop them. … … …I know it's a good idea, so go do it. (watching Mugen and Jin fighting and tearing up the set) hey, this fight is pretty good, watching two samurai go at it. I wonder who's gonna die? My money's on Mugen…Huh? Well we've got more footage of Operation: Clown, uh Operation: Naruto, oh just show the clip.

-Operation: Naruto-

Day 1-Hour 13

A Random Forest

Sakura: Is there anyway we can track him?

Kakashi: After that flash from that foreign object, I can't tell where he went. And I lost the scent of ramen.

Sasuke: How's your arm, Sakura?

Sakura: It's okay, it's a flesh wound. The bad part was that it sorta burned! I didn't know what hit me.

Kakashi: I have never seen any of his weapons before, and that makes him more dangerous. (clip ends as the first)

Shikamaru: ...That's it? (dude backstage: Uh...yeah.) What a rip. (the sound of the chair ripping can be heard) (sigh) You can stop fighting now. (Mugen and Jin are stil fighting) You can stop. ...(sighs and yawns) What a drag. (performs the Shadow Possession jutsu and traps Mugen) Ok-

Mugen: Hey, what the (record scratch) Why can't I move?!
Shikamaru: I used my Shadow Possession jutsu-

Jin: Many thanks. (took a cheap shot to Mugen)
M&S: OW!!! (both doubled over in pain0

Jin: How did I hit you?
Shikamaru: Yeah cough you did. Okay cough get that girl here now, maybe she can get some insight on them.

Mugen: You mean that pink girl? Why the (record scratch) sre you bringing her? (dude backstage: We found her!) Oh great monkey (record scratch)

Shikamaru: The only good news all day. Bring her out.

Fuu: Hey! I've been looking for you two for ages and here's where I find you? I thought we had a promise! Remember?! The samurai who smells of sunflowers? Remember that? Huh?! You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

And it goes on and on and on for more so and...

Jin: Fuu. We get it.

Mugen: Damn stank sunflower smellin' samurai...

Fuu: I hope you had fun! We are-

Shikamaru: You're just gonna take that from her? Who's she to you?

Mugen: Hey, that's right! Who are you?
Fuu: Huh?
Jin: But a promise is a promise. It's the code of-

Mugen: I don't give a damn!

Fuu: You can't do this!
Shikamaru: Hey...ever heard of breaking a promise? That's what they just did.

Fuu: Huh? (sees Mugen and Jin running out of the studio) HEY! I'm not letting you ditch me again! (runs after them)

Shikamaru: Well that was a major drag. Uh...tune in next-you get the idea, more clips, random crap, probably a new set, yadda yadda yadda. (cue theme music) Hopefully Naruto comes back. (soon I hope, only Kakashi can do this show and deal with idiots) yawns I'm going to sleep. (lays down on the set and falls asleep)

Guy: Shikamaru? Shikamaru! (sigh) Asuma, wake him up.

Oh yeah, I also wanted to ask: What should you think the theme music to "What's the Deal" be? My friend thinks it should be the music that plays currently wnhe Euereka 7 comes on. Just wondering, and review. Please and thank you!
