Sorry this chapter took awhile to get up. My account was having problems for some days, and I couldn't get documents uploaded onto here. Now it seems to be working again, and hopefully the problem won't happen again.
Thanks for your reviews, guys. So a few of you like the wasabi idea, eh? I was thinking it might be stupid, but I think I'll keep it in here. Some more of it appearing briefly in this chapter.
A note: If you find that this story is starting to drag on too long, you can skip reading this chapter and the next, as they are just grocery shopping for the trip. Yes, they will be camping for the majority of the story, as the title says. This story won't be going off its title topic very much.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto.
Minutes later, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were waiting at the new large grocery store. (Do I smell "Slave on Foods"?) They were waiting for Kakashi, who was obviously going to be late again.
"Geez, this is so boring! I hate all this waiting!" Naruto groaned.
"Just keep it to yourself. I don't wish to hear your complaints." Sasuke scowled.
"Geez. Fine, Mr. grouchy!" Naruto retorted.
"Naruto! Stop calling Sasuke names! Just go away!" Sakura said angrily.
"Fine, I will!" Naruto replied.
With a pouty face, Naruto walked off towards the shopping cart rack. "Ooh! These look fun!" Naruto giggled and quickly ran back to Sakura.
"Hey Sakura! Do you have a quarter?"
Sakura flipped him a quarter. "Here you go. Just get lost already!"
Naruto grinned, "All right, I'll do that! Thanks, Sakura-chan!"
A satisfied Naruto ran off towards the shopping carts to have his fun.
"Finally! Now I have some peace." Sakura sighed in relief as Inner Sakura shouted within, "Oh yeah! Strike! Now I got Sasuke all to myself!"
Sakura attempted to start a conversation. "So Sasuke. How's summer been?"
"Okay." Sasuke replied.
"Oh...that is good! So...I was wondering...if you would like to-"
"No." Was Sasuke's answer before Sakura could even ask the question.
"Oh...are you sure?"
Naruto was riding on the edge of a shopping cart, going down a hill, screaming in glee.
"Yes. I am quite sure." Came Sasuke's reply.
"...oh, ok." Sakura sighed sadly as Inner Sakura loudly swore.
Naruto was still riding on a shopping cart as he yelled out at random shopper, "Look out! Future Hokage coming through! Make way!"
Sakura stood there mind in a fumble, fidgeting on what to say to Sasuke next after his rejection to her.
" Damn! This awkward silence is so...awkward! Hurry up and get here, Kakashi-sensei!"
And at that moment, Kakashi then appeared in front of Sakura and Sasuke.
"Thank you, sensei! You're a life-saver!" Sakura sighed in relief.
"What ever you mean by that." Sasuke scowled.
"So, are we going to go shopping?" Sakura asked.
"Yes." Kakashi replied. "But where's Naruto?"
"Oh! Naruto?" Sakura called out. She frantically looked around. "Naruto? Oh-no! Where'd he go?
"Where did you last see him?" Kakashi asked.
"Well, he was bugging me, so I..." Sakura stopped speaking.
"Sakura told Naruto to get lost." Sasuke finished.
Inner Sakura raged, "Dammit, Sasuke! You betrayed me!"
Kakashi nodded. "Well, that would explain it."
"Sorry." Sakura said sheepishly.
"Anything else?" Kakashi asked.
"Well, I did give him a quarter...so he might have...umm..." Again, Sakura couldn't finish her sentence.
Kakashi looked over at where the shopping buggies were parked
"Oh-no…" Kakashi sighed as he feared the worst.
Naruto was riding down at the other end of the parking lot, causing mayhem and destruction as usual.
"Look out! Comin' through! OH MY GOD! WATCH OUT, LADY!" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs.
Kakashi poofed (yes, poofed) away from Sasuke and Sakura, and appeared between Naruto and the old lady, stopping Naruto and the shopping buggy inches away from crashing into the old lady.
"Woah! Hey there, sensei!" Naruto grinned.
"Geez, Naruto! What are you trying to do, kill somebody?" Kakashi cried exasperatedly.
The old lady stood there trembling for a moment before she fainted.
Kakashi's eye widened. "Uh-oh. Better leave this area quick, before some passer by suspects us of murder!"
Kakashi put Naruto in the shopping buggy and quickly ran away from the scene of the crime, getting back to Sasuke and Sakura.
Naruto hopped out of shopping buggy. Grinning from ear to ear. "That was fun!"
"No Naruto, that was stupid! You could've killed that old lady!" Kakashi scolded.
"No, I meant when you pushed me away super fast in the buggy!" Naruto corrected. "But rolling down the hill in the buggy was fun too!" he added.
"Naruto, you don't play with shopping buggies. Ever! You were very close to killing that person." Kakashi continuedto lecture the young genin.
"What about me? I could've died too, right?" Naruto asked.
"We could've lived without you." Sasuke replied.
"Sasuke, you're going to die!" Naruto lunged at Sasuke, only to get knocked on the head by Sakura and Kakashi, as they are the peacekeepers of the group.
"No, Naruto. You don't kill your team mates." Kakashi scolded yet again.
"Leave Sasuke alone, Naruto!" Sakura said.
"Can we do this shopping now?" Sasuke asked, hoping to get a move on.
"Yeah! Let's do this thing!" Naruto cheered, immediately forgetting about what he had been angry about earlier.
Naruto proceeded to open the doors of the grocery store. He pushed on the handle, but the door wouldn't budge. He pushed harder.
"It won't budge! Open up, you stupid door!"
Naruto began to kick the door in frustration.
"WHY WON'T YOU OPEN?" Naruto shouted angrily.
"Umm…Naruto?" Kakashi pointed at the sign on the door that clearly said, "Pull"
Naruto stared for a moment before he said anything. "Oh...I knew that!"
Naruto pulled the door open, and team 7 proceeded into the grocery store of doom.
The large grocery store, given the name "Slave On Foods", was filled with many ninja shoppers, doing their weekly food shopping for their families and themselves.
Kakashi handed Sakura a shopping list.
"This is the list of stuff you and Sasuke are going to get. Such as the tacos with their ingredients, and don't forget the wasabi!"
Kakashi glared at the two effectively to make the point get through to them.
"Ok…"Sakura replied nervously.
"Whatever." Was Sasuke's reply...
Kakashi continued, "You will also get the hotdogs,condiments for the hotdogs,and cereal. Me and Naruto will be getting the rest of-"
"But I wanted to get the cereal!" Naruto intervened
"Fine, whatever. We'll get the cereal. Cross that off your list then, Sakura. Write down that you guys will get the chocolate and marshmellows for then smores instead then."
"But I wanted to do that too!" Naruto whined.
"Ok then, you guys get the hot chocolate-"
"But I want to do the hot chocolate!"
"Let's just go!" Sasuke said in annoyance, grabbed a blushing Sakura by the arm and storming off down an aisle.
Sakura was in a daze. "Am I dreaming? Sasuke's holding my arm! This is going to be such a romantic shopping trip! Sasuke's mine now!"
Sasuke abruptly let go of Sakura's arm
"Okay, down to business. What's first on the list?" Sasuke asked Sakura.
Sakura blushed "Well, we have hotdogs. So let's go get that togeth-"
Sasuke dashed off in the opposite direction, and arrived back 15 seconds later with hotdogs and smokies in his hands.
Sakura was shocked and pleased at the same time. "That was fast! You're amazing, Sasuke-kun! Ok now, for smokies."
Sasuke held up the smokies.
"Already have them."
"Oh...well, there's still ketchup and mustard." Sakura added.
Sasuke dashed off again and returned shortly with mustard, ketchup, and relish
Sakura spoke up, "Um, Sasuke? You're an amazing shopper and all that. But I was wondering if we could...you know, just slow down a bit, and enjoy some time together while shopping?"
Sasuke keptthat continuous frown upon his face, " I want to get this over with quickly. I'm wasting my time here. The best thing to do is to split up so this is done quicker. I'll get the hotdog buns, tomatoes, and lettuce, and you get the taco kit and the rest of the taco ingredients. We'll meet back here in 5 minutes."
Sasuke dashed off again to finish the shopping
"But-wait!" Sakura cried out. "So much for a romantic shopping trip."
Sakura sulked off down an aisle to get a taco kit.
Meanwhile, in aisle 5, Naruto was picking out instant ramen under the close watch of Kakashi, for fear that Naruto might do something stupid again.
"And some more miso ramen...and some more miso ramen...and some more-ooh! Pork-flavour!"
"Um...Naruto?" Kakashi tried to speak up.
"Oh! A new flavour! Got to get five of those!"
"Naruto?" Kakashi tried again.
"All the beautiful ramen! I'm gonna be in ramen heaven!"
"Naruto?"
"Yummy yummy ramen! Ooh, I love camping! Oh! More miso ramen"
"Naruto!" Kakashi hit Naruto on the head.
"Ow!" Naruto rubbed the back of his head and glanced up at Kakashi. "Huh? Oh, is this enough ramen, sensei?"
"Naruto, that's too much. Put some back."
"Awww, do I have to?" Naruto whined.
"Yes." Kakashi replied.
"Aw, fine." Naruto reluctantly put some of the ramen back.
Kakashi glanced down the aisle. "Oh, the chocolate we need is just down there for the smores we-"
Naruto cheered. "Chocolate! I'll get it, Kakashi-sensei!"
Naruto leapt away and started to sing his own wonderful made-up song about chocolate. "Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!"
Kakashi stared after Naruto. "Geez, what did that kid eat for breakfast, sugar?"
Naruto did cartwheels down the aisle as various people stared at him
"Hmm...no, probably ramen." Kakashi concluded.
Naruto, unfortunately, didn't see where he was going, and happened to cartwheel straight into a large stack of soup cans near the end of the aisle and sent them crashing everywhere.
"Naruto! Oh, man..." Kakashi groaned as heran over and unburied Naruto from soup can avalanche
"You ok, Naruto?"
Naruto eyes were spinning. "Owww...that was fun! Can I do that again?"
The speakers came on, "Clean up in aisle 5."
"Oh boy. We're going to get in trouble." Kakashi sighed as he picked up Naruto and put him in shopping cart while he quickly grabbed the chocolate and fled from the scene as various people stared at them
"Clean up in aisle 5!" The speakers repeated.
Sakura was picking out taco kit as she heard the speakers. "That's got to be Naruto."
Sasuke meanwhile had gotten everything he needed on the list, and was now on the last item: Wasabi.
Sasuke browsed the shelves, looking out for the wasabi. "Geez. Don't know why Kakashi likes that crap so much. This had better be easy to find."
Sasuke turned down an aisle, and sure enough, there was the last tube of wasabi.
"Dammit, who has wasabi with their hotdogs? And their smores! Why couldn't I end up with a normal sensei?"
Sasuke made to grab it, but at the same time, another hand made to take the last wasabi. The hand belonging to...
"Hyuuga Neji?" Sasuke cried in surprise.
To be continued...
Note: "Slave on Foods" is a parody name of the grocery store known as "Save on Foods".
Please review. It really helps me keep going.
