The REAL Sound Nin Chapter 2, a naruto fanfic

"Naruto, I see you secured the package. Good. Let's get out of here and back home."

"This isn't Naruto...I'm KB-025...boss is still back there. He felt they'd realize if he left a clone behind, but with how the girl is reacting, he's sure he can make it out safely. He recommends that Kiba at least head back with the package, while the rest of you stay behind as an extraction crew if necessary."

What lead to this scene, you wonder?

Well, outside of his own fight, the chuunin exams went as normal. The invasion occurred, Sarutobi died, and Tsunade was retrieved. The Sannin Battle went...differently, but that's a story for a different day.

And Uchiha Sasuke defected, same as normal.

This lead to the Retrieval team being sent, but they decided upon a different plan this time. Instead of an all out assault, Naruto volunteered his own 'talents' to rescue Sasuke.

And here's what happened.

The Sound five were making headway towards the Village of Sound, when they hit a clearing. In that clearing...

"You! It's that guy from the exams! You have the fuckin best voice I've ever fuckin heard!"

"Tayuya, women shouldn't speak like that."

"Shut up, fat ass...wait...what's he doing here?"

Sakon, being rather stupid in the ways of women, interjects here, "Who cares? Let's just kill him and kee-"

He was cut off by two simultaneous events...the obvious one being Tayuya's flute to the face, but the less obvious one was a general dimming of the light.

Naruto, on the fly, decided that if he wanted a real distraction, a slight alteration to the original lyrics would work...

Wearing an immaculate white suit, tie, and hat, Naruto flipped a coin passed the Sound 4. As they turned back to see what he was aiming at, they noticed a juke box that was most definitely NOT there a minute ago.

As the music started, Naruto started strutting on over to Tayuya, with a smirk on his face.

"As He Came Into The Window
It Was The Sound Of A Crescendo
He Came Into Her Apartment
He Left The Bloodstains On The Carpet
She Ran Underneath The Table
He Could See She Was Unable
So She Ran Into The Bedroom
She Was Struck Down, It Was Her Doom "

Sakon and Ukon both started tapping their feet. Jiroubo began nodding his head. Kidomaru groaned. Tayuya squealed.

And Naruto continued to smirk. But he was coming onto the most important part here...if he could pull this off, then his kage bunshin could easily steal the barrel, and no one would stop 'em.

Naruto had been listening to them talk, and hearing the girl's, Tayuya, name, gave him an idea.

"Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK
Are You OK, 'yuya
Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK
Are You OK, 'yuya
Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK?
Are You OK, 'yuya?
Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You Ok, Are You Ok, 'yuya?"

As he had begun to sing that verse, Tayuya's eyes grew wide, and her heart was racing. This hunk of a guy was singing, just for her???

A few kage bunshins sprang up and henged into Narutos wearing either white or black suits. They continued to dance, though they did in a circular pattern around Naruto and Tayuya. Unconsciously, the 3 male Sound-nin backed up, and coincidentally, away from the barrel.

All according to plan.

"Tayuya Are You OK?
Will You Tell Us That You're OK?
There's A Sign In The Window)
That He Struck You - A Crescendo 'yuya
He Came Into Your Apartment
He Left The Bloodstains On The Carpet
Then You Ran Into The Bedroom
You Were Struck Down
It Was Your Doom"

Many things had just occurred. Naruto had reached Tayuya, and began to dance with her, around her. Jiroubo and Sakon/Ukon were now seriously into the song, and Kidomaru was bored out of his mind. Luckily, he was keeping a watch on Naruto, and not where he should have been.

Sneakily, stealthily, 3 Kage bunshin approached the barrel. One snuck off with the real one, one Henged into a barrel and the last one henged into Sasuke IN the barrel.

To ensure attention was drawn away from his theft, he pulled away from Tayuya, to the other side of the clearing, with his back up crew forming behind him.

All according to plan.

"Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK?
Are You OK 'yuya?
Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK?
Are You OK 'yuya?
Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK?
Are You OK 'yuya?
You've Been Hit By
You've Been Hit By- A Smooth Criminal"

Ironic, really, as just as he hit 'Smooth Criminal', KB 025 had just gotten beyond the sight line. It also caused Kidomaru to remember their REAL purpose here, and to check on the barrel. Too bad he didn't notice the difference.

At this point, Naruto being walking up to the male ninjas, but with a clearly aggressive stance, which set them on their guard. As he reached Sakon, he stopped, and stepped forward suddenly, causing Sakon to stumble back. He turned towards Jiroubo, while simultaneously ripping a leaf off one of the trees. As Jiroubo tried to look imposing, Naruto just kicked a rock up from off the ground, smack into Jiroubo's face. It didn't hurt much but his pride. The leaf in his hand was grinded up, and casually tossed into Kidomaru's face, who had moved to intercept him.

Then Naruto stopped with the guys, and moved back to where he should have been the whole time. To Tayuya.

All according to plan.

"So They Came Into The Outway
It Was Sunday - What A Black Day
Mouth To Mouth Resus - Citation
Sounding Heartbeats - Intimidations

"Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK?
Are You OK 'yuya?
Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK?
Are You OK 'yuya?
Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK?
Are You OK 'yuya?
Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK
Are You OK 'yuya?"

The guys didn't take that kind of thing sitting down. Jiroubo and Sakon approached from either side...Naruto never took his eyes off Tayuya. As Jiroubo swung, as if part of his dance, Naruto ducked down and juked to the side. This resulted in Jiroubo punching Sakon in the face. And that caused Sakon to punch Jiroubo back in the face.

Kidomaru then came, approaching with his bow out, ready to shoot Naruto. Just as he got close, Naruto, without even turning around, pointed his arm behind him, and shot a huge flash of light in Kidomaru's eyes. While not actually hurting him, it sure as hell blinded him.

And Naruto kept on walking, walking to Tayuya, who was still practically stunned.

All according to plan.

"Tayuya Are You OK?
Will You Tell Us That You're OK?
There's A Sign In The Window
That He Struck You - A Crescendo 'yuya
He Came Into Your Apartment
He Left The Bloodstains On The Carpet
Then You Ran Into The Bedroom
You Were Struck Down
It Was Your Doom

Tayuya Are You OK?
So, Tayuya Are You OK?
Are You OK 'yuya?
You've Been Hit By
You've Been Struck By -
A Smooth Criminal"

Tayuya swooned, right into Narutos arms. He twirled her around, and then set her back.

Naruto flexed his chakra strings.

Jiroubo, Sakon/Ukon, and Kidomaru all stood up, not of their will. You could tell, by how jerky they were moving.

The music stopped. Naruto let off an "Aaow!"

And instead of Naruto singing, it was instead the three Sound boys.

All according to plan.

They weren't really singing, though; more like talking it. Naruto good make 'em move, make 'em speak, but he couldn't make 'em sing.

Taking pity on Tayuya's poor ears, he let them go. As they fell to the floor behind him, Naruto once again stepped forward. The barrel was long gone, and KB 025 had reported back in that Kiba had left for Konoha with it. Sending another hidden Bunshin to tell the others to be ready, because he was nearly done.

And it was all going according to the plan.

"Tayuya Are You OK?
I Don't Know!
Will You Tell Us, That You're OK?
I Don't Know!
There's A Sign In The Window
I Don't Know!
That He Struck You - A Crescendo 'yuya
I Don't Know!
He Came Into Your Apartment
I Don't Know!
Left Bloodstains On The Carpet
I Don't Know Why Baby!
Then You Ran Into The Bedroom
I Don't Know!
You Were Struck Down
It Was Your Doom - 'yuya!
Tayuya Are You OK?)
Dad Gone It - Baby!
Will You Tell Us, That You're OK?
Dad Gone It - Baby!
There's A Sign In The Window
Dad Gone It - Baby!
That He Struck You - A Crescendo 'yuya
Hoo! Hoo!
He Came Into Your Apartment
Dad Gone It!
Left Bloodstains On The Carpet
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Then You Ran Into The Bedroom
Dad Gone It!
You Were Struck Down
It Was Your Doom-'yuya!""

He was holding Tayuya at this point. He looked her in the eyes, and mouthed to her "Come with me."

She merely nodded.

By now, the Sound boys had stood back up, and were again approaching the REAL Sound nin. However, as the music was fading, the Kage bunshin back up dancers surrounded them, in a rather threatening manner.

Then, Naruto snapped his fingers.

A huge cloud of smoke poofed out, where he had been standing. All the Kage Bunshin then launched an attack on the now Sound Trio. Naruto and Tayuya disappeared in the smoke, reappearing where Neji, Chouji, and Shikamaru were. Shikamaru quirked his eyebrow at Tayuya.

Naruto shrugged.

After all, all had gone according to plan.

Truly, a smooth criminal.

Author's Notes: The chapters aren't in chronological order, as I wrote them as inspiration struck for different scenes. I'm posting them in the order I wrote them.

Naruto, in this story, encountered an eccentric musician in his youth, who was obsessed with music from ancient times. After watching the man attempt to perform a Michael Jackson-esque dance while watching a music video, Naruto proceeded to do a much better job at it. Though Naruto knows other songs that aren't Jackson songs…only the first couple are.

That caused the man to start training Naruto in the ways of music. And he will never be shown in story, either.

The song from the first chapter- "Beat It", Michael Jackson

The song from this chapter- "Smooth Criminal", Michael Jackson
