I'm Baaaaaaack! Mwaahaahaahaahaaaaaa cough cough hack
Naruto: Yay! Whaoo!
Sakura: Where were you?! We were worried sick!
Sasuke: Correction, you were.
Thanks... any way, sorry for such a long wait. You see, I was getting ready for a trip that I'm going on July 20th. Im going to Otakon. Whoo! Yeah I know exciting right? But, I had to do so much shopping for the stuff that I need and my sisters birthday, and then my best friend's birthday and- ah forget it!
Naruto: All that matters now is that your back to finish my story! Ramen!
Sakura: Yeah, and I get to see Sasuke again... oh um... your back and that's all that matters.
Sasuke: Whatever. Can we just do this please?
Ok. Go on ahead.
Sasuke: Starred27 does not own anyone in this story. Although if she did, I would die. Enjoy chapter seven of What's it to you?
"I can answer that." Naruto looked nervous but overjoyed at the same time. "It's you."
"Naruto, how are you?" A woman with long brown hair showed up next to an out-of-breath Iruka. "Okaa-san!" Naruto shouted and wrapped his arms around her. "Okaa-san?!" Everyone else followed in perfect harmony. Ten-ten was the first to speak. "She's your mother? "Not really his mother," Iruka corrected "my aunt. She took care of Naruto and I once my parents passed away. Naruto could only say mother at the time." Everyone was still confused as of why Naruto never told them. He was their friend after all. "Naruto, you've grown so much. It's been so long. But, I'm finally back. Oh, you should have seen Iruka's face when he found out who I was." Naruto had finally let go of her not wanting to look like a small child. "So, when did you get back, Okaa-san?" Naruto asked. "Just this morning. I heard what happened. Are you alright?" "Yeah, I guess. But, you said that you knew why I couldn't remember anything."
"You see, Naruto, I knew the Forth Hokage when you were born. I never told you this but me and the forth go way back. We used to all about the nine demons together. On the birthday of the Kyubii, a new baby was born. The fourth sealed the kyubii inside of this newborn baby. "Yeah, I know that much, Okaa-san. But that doesn't explain why-" "But, the sealing was started at exactly 11:59 on that day. The infant was born at 12:00 midnight the next day. So that makes yesterday not little Naru's birthday, but Kyubii's."
"So, that mean… today is… Happy Birthday Naruto!" Sakura spat out in a happy friend-like tone. Naruto nodded and hugged Sakura like at a happy little kid. "Thank You Sakura-Chan!"
"So, you didn't forget about me?" Naruto asked his auntie in watery eyes. " What do mean?" Iruka answered this question. "You see auntie, right after you left on your year round missions, Naruto here thought you had abandend him and he cried his eyes out. Boy was he a handful. Haha!" "Naruto, you k now I would never abandon you. I'd miss you little yellow patch and blue eyes too much." Then, she patted Naruto on the head as he squirmed free of her grasp. "Okaa-san, stop it. I'm 13 now. You know, a big kid."
"The festival isn't over for another 4 hours. Let us lead through the stands and spread our youth all around! Yosh!" "Yeah, that sounds like a great idea Lee but, my Kimono is ruined. I need to go home and change first." "No need Naruto, I brought a gift for such an occasion." The long brown haired women took out a bag, and inside that bag was a box. She handed the box to Naruto and he opened it to find a long blue robe with a Swirling symbol on the back of it and a picture of ramen in the center. Everyone except for of course Sasuke smiled at the thought of wearing it. It looked very comfortable. "This looks kinda familiar. Hey! I remember now. You made me one just like this the first night I stayed at your house, only it was yellow. Wow, thanks a lot." The only thing that got everyone pumped up was a comment from the ice prince. "Yeah yeah, you look beautiful, now let's get going princess. We got a surprise for you."
When they got to the concert hall, (yeah, it was indoors this time people) they were awed at how big, bright, and rich it looked. "Whoa, I never thought Konoha owned something this- expensive looking. Right, Neji?" Tenten finished. "Of course, they'd never let us in a place like this being ninja and all, we'd probably break something." Neji joked. Just then, a man in his late 20s and a young lady who looked about their age came out to greet the fairly large group. "Ah, welcome. We've been expecting you. Come, come, this way." Said the man. The lady slowed her pace to meet with Naruto. "Hi, cutie, you live around here?" "Yah, I'm a ninja here." "Silly question huh? So, you in the show?" "Show? No, I guess I'm just here to watch." "Oh, I never did catch your name." "It's Naruto." "Cool, I'm Katamara. So, birthday boy, enjoy the show." "Wait, how did you know-" "This is for you. We should know. Right?" She said with a wink. Naruto's cheeks turned a light shad of pink. "See, you cutie. With that see sped up to catch up with her father.
"Well, Naruto, got yourself a secret admirer I see." Sasuke spoke while wearing a teasing grin. "Teme." "Dope." Well, I think it's absolutely adorable." Ino told Sakura. "Yeah, me too." She responded. "Y-yeah, that's nice." Hinata joined in. Kiba wasn't far behind. "Just remember to invite me to your wedding. Ha!" "Kiba?! I don't know what you're talking about." Naruto denied. "Oh, sure you do. We all saw the way you blushed after that little talk you two had, am I right?" Kiba noted. "Sounds about accurate to me." Shikamaru answered smiling. Naruto's blush deepened as he crossed his arms and walked a little behind the rest of them.
It was only until they reached the dinning hall that the giggling stopped. They were far too busy looking around in awe to notice that Naruto's face was as dark as it could get. The room had a large area of food, complete with tables, a huge stage, giant speakers, a 20X18 dance floor, and a pool in the back that over looked Konohagakure. There were people on the dance floor, and at tables just laughing and having a good time. The thing that made Naruto happy was that no one stopped to look at him funny. It was like they didn't notice him.
Naruto sat down at a separate table than everyone, still fuming over the latest event. " Oh, come on, man, you know we were only playing with you." Kiba came over with Sasuke. "Leave him, Kiba. Baby needs a little alone time." "What?!" Naruto spat out in anger. "Care to repeat that, Teme?!" "You heard me, dope. Ba-by." "I heard you the first time." "Then, let's go, Dope." "Fine, but no more teasing me, got it?" "Yeah yeah, we got it." Kiba finished as they made their way back to the others.
Namie Amuro started playing and Katamara stood up instantly. "Oh, I love this song! Naruto-kun, let's dance. Please?" She put on her best puppy face and Naruto didn't no what else to do. "Ok, I guess." "Alright then, let's go!" She took Naruto's hand and led him to the dance floor. Naruto looked back at them and Sakura waved as Lee made the nice guy pose. Neji just stared while Naruto was dragged away.
Step. Step into the floor
Shake, Shake it on the floor
Bounce, Bounce, Bounce, Bounce

Naruto and Katamara reached the dance floor.

They started dancing to the song. Soon, Sakura and Sasuke, Ino and Shikamaru, Hinata and Kiba, and Ten Ten and Neji, came up to dance with them. "You enjoying yourself, Naruto? I didn't know you could dance." Sakura said surprised. She looked happy that she had finally gotten Sasuke to dance with her. "Yeah, well, I never did get a chance. I've never been to a party. Hehe."

The song ended and Ino Hinata and Sakura left. "Where are they going?" Naruto asked. "You'll see." Katamara said as she ran off after them. The music stopped and a bunch of colors lit up the stage. The four ladies came out onto the stage in angel costumes. Everyone including the guys were in awe. Music started to play and Sakura came up front. It was only when she started to sing Naruto recognized the song. His eyes widened but he could only watch.

everyone started singing.

Katamara ran up front and started dancing while she sang.

The song ended and another one started the play. Naruto was angry but happy that everyone finally heard his song. But, this song Naruto knew right away. He jump out of his seat and ran up to the stage. 'I want to sing. I promised myself that I would sing it the first time it was released. Remember?' Good for you kit.
naze darou koi no shikata sae sukkari wasureteta
deai wa itsuka kuru wakare no hajimari to
itsu no manika kimetsukete ita
yogoreta SUNIIKAA no hodoketa himo musunde kureta
hanikamu anata no egao asahi o abite TOKIMEIta kyuu ni
He got to the stage and waited until he caught his breath. Then, he looked for Katamara's father. Her father was standing next to the stage entrance.
aisareta ikara aishita iwake jyanai
massugu aisuru yuuki o kureta ne
kore kara no tabi ni futari ima chikau yo
nani ga atte mo kono te hanasanai zutto
"What? You want-" "Yes, I want to sing. Please." Alright, get up there." He handed Naruto a mike and pushed him onto the stage. The four singers looked surprised, but then smiled and stepped aside.
Naruto:
fushigi da ne itsumo no keshiki mo tokubetsu ni miete kuru
hana ya tori ya umi kaze yama amai taiyou
subete kagayaki yori sou naka
tokenai JIGUSOU no saigo no PIISU mitsuketa yo

everyone:

massugu aisuru jishin o moteta ne
asu kara no yume ni futari ima yukau yo
nani ga atte mo hitomi sorasanai
"Thank you guys. I always thought that if I showed this to anyone, they'd just laugh at me. But, I know now that if I want something, I need to go for. No, thinking twice. And if I ever get stuck, I'll always have my friends here with me. Thanks everyone, for being so kind to me." Everyone applauded after he spoke, with watery eyes he bowed as the applauses only got louder. He turned to Sakura and nodded. Sakura and the rest of them understood. He closed his eyes and started to sing solo.
aisareta ikara aishita iwake jyanai
massugu aisuru yuuki o kureta ne
asu kara no yume ni futari ima yukau yo
nani ga atte mo hitomi sorasanai
The four joined in the last part.
aisareta ikara aishita iwake jyanai
massugu aisuru yuuki o kureta ne
kore kara no tabi ni futari ima chikau yo
nani ga atte mo kono te hanasanai zutto

The song finally ended and people stood up and clapped. The rest of rookie nine were upfront already, cheering him on. He stepped off stage, as the music started up again and people started to dance. This time Namie Amuro's Full Moon started to play. They all danced in one big group.
Once the party ended, everyone went home. One the group was left there. You guys are welcome to come back next week if you want." Katamara said. "Thanks. I want to go swimming!" Naruto said excitedly. Everyone decided to meet one the bridge the next day. "Alright guys, see you next week then. Jane, Naruto-kun." Naruto blushed yet again and waved.
On the way home, they split up until it was only team seven. "Naruto, why didn't you tell us you could sing?" Sasuke asked. "You never asked. Besides, I didn't think you would care." Naruto sated ever so calmly. "Naruto, that song was beautiful. I was happy that I could help you sing it." Sakura said. "Look, if you're mad about us not telling you then we are truly sorry." She continued. "Uh-uh. It's ok. I was mad at first, but I'm actually happy. If I would have known, I would have never let you guys do it. Plus, a few of the villagers came up to me and told me that they liked my song. I was so happy. Thanks Sasuke." "Me, why?" "Well, you're the one who went into my bag and took it in the first place right?" "Yeah, well then, you owe me one, Dope." Sasuke said casually. "Wow, for a second I thought you actually meant that, Teme." "I did, "Dope."
"Teme."
"Dope"
"Teme!"
"Dope!"
"Guys?! Come on, its Naruto's birthday. Don't fight." Sakura yelled. "Fine, but Sasuke started it." "Yeah, what of it?" Sasuke replied. Sakura glared at the two that would give Sasuke a run for his money. "Well, guys. This is my stop. See you two tomorrow." With that, Sakura left Naruto and Sasuke to walk alone.
Naruto and Sasuke walked in silence until the Uchiha manner came into view. "Well, Sasuke see, you tomorrow." "Hn." They parted ways after that. The next day came soon enough. Naruto woke up to the most annoying noise in the world that went by name "alarm clock. Shut up!" With that he hurtled it across the room and got out of bed.
Naruto got up, got dressed, did his shopping and cleaned his house. He remembered that he was supposed to meet team seven at the bridge in about ten minutes. So, he took his shower and headed down there. On his way over there, though, Kakashi showed up in front of him in a cloud of smoke and told him that Tsunade wanted to see him. He also said that she was upset. This made Naruto nervous. He hurried over to the Hokage tower wondering what she wanted. He had a feeling that he already knew the answer.
Oh, nooooooooo! Cliffie!
Naruto: What's going to happen to me?! I'm scared.
Sasuke: aww... little Naru-chan's scared?!
Sakura: This is getting good.
Naruto: I am not! I'll endore what ever the old hag throws at me. Or try to dodge them... either way I'm not afraid!
Sasuke: We'll see about that.
Itachi will be in the next one.
Sasuke: ... ... ... ITACHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GHAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
