Disclaimer:I still do not in any way,shape, or form own Naruto or any popculture references that appear yaada, yaada. If I did...Naruto wouldn't have that silly orange jumpsuit. Really not that stleathy. unless it's like, an Orange Tang factory.

In this Chapter The Four lead characters make their ways to the sphinx through which, many Deus Ex Machinas show up do to lazy writing. But little do our heroes...er...antiheroes know that they are being followed by an ominous threat.

Also, Danny DeVito does the voice of the Sphinx. =D

We rejoin our antiheroes walking on a dirt path. . .

Deidara: ...guess again.

Hidan: For the last time Fluffy, we're not playing that game!

Deidara: But it's fun, un! Plus I bet our readers would want us to play it too! *smiles and waves at you! That's right! I can see you through the computer...By God! you've gotten fat...*

Hidan: All right, All right. Start over.

Deidara: Ok, I'm thinking of something short....red...and wooden...

Kisame: It's Sasori.

Deidara: Right, un! Ok, start over. I'm thinking of something red and small-

Kisame: Sasori.

Deidara: Right again. Do you have ESP or something Kisame?

Hidan: wow Fluffy, I had NO idea. *rolls eyes sarcasticly*

Deidara: What? NO! I'm not thinking about Sasori because of that!! (Thats pedophilic) I'm thinking about him because he's my Danna!Un, and despite the fact he was constantly yelling at me, beating me up, and dressing me up in women's clothing, I know that deep down it was all an act of love!

Meanwhile, in Tartarus. . .

Sasori: Hmm....I feel like punching Deidara....

Zabuza: Who?

Sasori: *shrugs* Nnn...some whinny chick who followed me around and would never shut up.

Scenery Change!!!

Deidara: aw...*emo*

Deus ex Machina Sphinx: *suddenly appears*

Kisame: oh...there it is.

Hidan: how convenient.

Deidara: I like jello, un!

Nemo: reow!

Sphinx: *speaking in Danny DeVito's voice* Hiya! I'm the inappropriately voiced sphinx. Call me Boris.

Kisame: It's good to know that Princess K acknowlegdes the ancient Egyptian culture.

Pain: *voice returns* ACTUALLY KISAME, CONTRAY TO POPULAR BELIEF THE SPHINX LEGEND ORIGINATED IN ANCIENT GREECE, NOT EGYPT!!!

Kisame: Hey shut up or I'll tell everyone your voiced by the same guy who did Excalibur's voice!!

Pain: . . .YOU BITCH! *voice disappears*

Sphinx: Answer my riddle, if you get it right I'll let you pass...*pulls out a coupon*...and I'll give you this coupon for 5% off any Nichoals Cage movie.

Hidan: So like what, all his movies would cost negative five bucks then?

Sphinx: ah, well played.

Kisame: What if we get it wrong?

Sphinx: I'll devour your soul!

Deidara: hrmp, well that sounds unpleasant. I'm really starting to question wether or not this is all worth it, un.

Hidan: Fluffy, you die by blowing yourself up while you could've, instead, told Sasuke where Itachi was,then waited and when both Itachi and Sasuke are half-dead from their battle, you swoop down and kill them. You have no right to talk.

Deidara: ...I'll be quiet, un.

Kisame: But wait, do we each get one chance or are we like a group?

Sphinx: what?

Kisame: Yeah, if say, I tried to answer it but got it wrong will you only eat me or all of us?

Sphinx: oh...I haven't really thought of that before...um...I guess if you got it wrong I'd eat two of you....err...the blonde chick and the shirtless guy...they look yummy...

( Princess K: you don't know the half of it)

Deidara: Eep!

Hidan: you think I'm sweet? Heh, prepare to be very disappointed.

Kisame: ok, fine! Eat them! I really don't care! More fangirls for me!

Sphinx: You are a horrible person and yet...curiously attractive....for a fish man.

Hidan: ...goddammit, nobody gets the reference.

Sphinx: right...anyway, heres the riddle: What is something you seen, but cannot see?

Hidan: Well I hope its the Land of The Lost movie. I saw that movie along with My Sister's Keeper which is about a girl dying of cancer. Land of the Lost, way more depressing.

Kisame: *hits Hidan over his head with Samehada* No copying LittleKuriboh's jokes!!!

Hidan: DAMMIT!!

Meanwhile, in a hot air balloon close by . . .

Zetsu: FOUND THEM!! ZETSU HIPS DON'T LIE!!

Itachi: ....fuddy duddy....

Madara: *slaps Itachi* stop that.

Itachi: ...ok.

Madara: Kakuzu! Give me their status report!

Kakuzu: the part of Kakuzu in this scene will be played by Naruto, *Naruto wearing Kakuzu's clothes* Just standing there! My name's Kakuzu! I like money! Dattebayo!

Madara: Splendid! Pain will be so please with Madara! Madara is a good boy! (Are you SURE Madara is Tobi? I don't see it)

Itachi: um...Tobi-I mean, Madara?

Madara: Yes, what is it Senor Weasel?

Itachi: I told you not to call me that in public! Anyway, can you tell me why we're following them again for exposition?

Madara: Simple! Pain sent us to get rid of Kisame and Nemo once in for all!!Bwa hah hah!!

Itachi: But, what good will that do? Isn't it wierd that Leader-sama sent Kisame out with his cat to help it, but then sends us to stop Kisame from that?Doesn't that kind of hinder the entire plot meaningless and open up all kinds of holes in the story?

Madara: .........Y-yes! Th-that's just what I wanted you to think!!! Ha ha!!

Itachi: Also, it just dawned on me that Uzumaki Naruto is just standing right here vulnerable and showing no signs of resistance.

Madara: Whoa, Whoa, WHOA!!! Itachi!! "Vulnerable?" "No resistance?", what are you planning to rape him? Who do you think he is, you little brother!!?!?

Itachi: no, I'm just saying this is a perfect chance to take his Kyuubi!!!

Madara: What??? And break the Cliche Anime Code of always giving the protagoinst a chance to escape!? You're insane! You make Zetsu,Deidara,Hidan, and me look like a bunch of harmless hamsters!

Itachi: *sighs* I hate you Madara.

Madara: and I despise you I am Weasel.

Kakuzu (Naruto): I like ramen! Dattebayo!

Transistional Phrase!!!

Kisame: *to Hidan and Deidara* Do you guys think it's air?

Hidan: Hell no!

Deidara: *is hit over the head by a falling Deus ex Machina apple* I know! It's Time!

Sphinx: NOOOO!!!! *explodes*

Kisame: wait, what the crap just happened here!!?!?

Hidan: Fluffy did something useful? What did someone open up a can of worms and this is what crawled out?

Kisame: Not only that, but we've made it through the entire chapter without one Hellraiser reference!

Random Bum: *walks up to Deidara* What's your pleasure ma'am?

Deidara: I'm a highly attractive, effeminate man with mouths covering severeal different parts of my body and I hang out with other extremely handsome, sexually ambiguous men, What do you think my pleasures are?

Kisame: *slices the bum in half with Samehada* NO!NO! NO MORE MOVIE REFRENCE!!

And so, our four characters defeated the Danny DeVito Sphinx. But what dangers await them in the next exciting chapter of....THIS!!!
